| Budi Putra's CNET Asia blog takes a look at Ubuntu and the challenges faced by the Indonesian Ubuntu community: ''Due to expensive Internet access, the Indonesian Ubuntu community has had quite a unique approach to distribute the whole Ubuntu software package in DVDs. So far, free Ubuntu software packages are delivered in CDs globally.'' ''According to Harry Sufehmi, one of Indonesia's Ubuntu activists, the DVDs help people access gigabytes of free software for Ubuntu without the need for Internet access.'' ''Several people have also organized two conferences on Edubuntu (a version of Ubuntu specially made for schools), to the interest of many Indonesian schools.'' You can read the whole story at http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/blog/toekangit/0,39056105,61953558,00.htm Keep up with the happenings in Indonesia via Planet Ubuntu Indonesia: http://planet.ubuntu-id.org/ === Adobe uses Ubuntu to test new version of Flash === Adobe has been working on Flash 9 for Linux, and one of the developers has been posting regular updates at his blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/. A few days ago, sharp eyed observers noticed a familiar colour of brown in a screenshot demoing the new Flash player at http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2006/09/flashforward_linux_demo.html. The next day, the secrets of how to take an Ubuntu 6.06.1 CD and add Flash were revealed at http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2006/09/customizing_ubuntu_live_cd_606_1.html === Wireless in Ubuntu === Linux.com and Newsforge ran an excerpt from The Official Ubuntu Book, which mostly covered configuring wireless in Ubuntu. The brief introduction to the excerpt states: "One of the greatest new features for laptop users in Ubuntu is network-manager. With this shiny new application it is finally easy to connect your Ubuntu system to any wireless network. Where previously you had to jump through hoops to do WPA or 802.1x authentication, network manager makes this completely transparent. This article is excerpted from the newly published book The Official Ubuntu Book.' Read the excerpt at http://enterprise.linux.com/enterprise/06/09/05/2055232.shtml |
This week has brought us, amongst others: * upstart 0.2.7 * python 2.5 * firefox 2.0b2 * openoffice 2.0.4~rc2 A number of ichthux-* packages rolled into Edgy in the last week. These are packages for a Kubuntu-based project called Ichthux (http://www.ichthux.com) which is producing a set of default apps and artwork for the Christian user community. So far ichthux-meta, ichthux-default-settings, ichthux-emoticons, and ichthux-konqueror-shortcuts have been uploaded along with several Sword modules for various languages with more to come before the Edgy Universe Freeze. The Ichthux development team is composed of Ubuntu and Debian developers such as Raphaël Pinson (Kubuntu core dev), Jordan Mantha (MOTU), and Ben Armstrong (Debian Developer). Readahead, a tool to speed up boot times by reading files into a cache, has recently been updated by Scott James Remnant. In order for readahead to be effective, it must be updated regularly. On a development release, this can be somewhat tricky, due to the number of changes made. Futher, several communities members playing with readahead discovered it ran better in the foreground during boot, rather than the background. Both of these changes, amongst others, can be found in readahead-list_0.20050517.0220. You can read more about the specific changes, including boot times, at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020967.html Martin Pitt has announced the general availability of packages with debug symbols, as part of the apt-get-debug symbols spec (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/apt-get-debug-symbols). Currently the packages are only available through Martin's people.ubuntu.com archive, but work is preceding apace on getting them into the Ubuntu archives. Further, work is also being done to pull in the debug packages automatically, via the new crash collection tool, apport. You can read more about Martin's work at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html A common question users ask is why Ubuntu does not install NetworkManager, a new tool to control wireless and other networks, by default. NetworkManager was evaluated in the 6.06 development cycle and found lacking, although a fully comprehensive answer has never really been available. In a recent thread on ubuntu-devel asking this very question, Scott James Remnant laid out the various issues. You can read Scott's answer at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020886.html Daniel Holbach, between uploading new telepathy packages, found time to update the various PDA utilities. pilot-link (0.12.1), gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits (both 2.0.14) have landed in Edgy. Daniel has also asked for testers of this new code, over at the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PDATesters/Hardware wiki page. You can read more about it at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020880.html The Telepathy team continued full steam ahead this week. Telepathy-inspector was updated to 0.3.4. Riccardo Setti also joined the team, uploading telepathy-gabble 0.3.6. Finally, the ever busy Scott James Remnant wrote a blog post about what he would like to see in Edgy+1. Featured prominently in the blog post was Telepathy. You can read Scott's post at http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/09/22/what-i-want-in-edgy-1 The world of Edgy, was, as always, busy these week. These are only a small fraction of the changes that happened in the Edgy world. If you don't see something you think should have been covered (maybe something else Scott did?), we are always looking for new editors. == In The Press == Enterprise Storage Forum takes a look at The Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) and find Ubuntu under the hood: ''As for the software running the system, it's almost all open source. "Primarily now we're using the Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) release of Debian (www.debian.org) for our OS," says Berry. "It's very easy to manage and install. We also use Linux, which we've used for many years in different flavors. And we use Apache and things like Perl and PHP."'' ''For the Archive, the decision to go with open source software was based on cost savings as well as experience.'' ''"Obviously you don't pay the big licensing fees," says Berry. "But it also gives us a lot of openness and freedom, and the Archive is usually pushing some technical edge. So it's nice to have that flexibility, which we wouldn't necessarily have had with vendor software." '' More tech details about the archive can be found at http://tinyurl.co.uk/rho1 CNET's Tom Merritt has recorded a video introduction to Ubuntu. You can watch it http://tinyurl.co.uk/gi50 Userful Corporation and Canonical are working together to deliver even more value to organizations that deploy Ubuntu: ''"Our virtualized X-server enables a single Ubuntu PC equipped with extra video cards to support up to 10 monitors, USB keyboards, and users simultaneously," says Tim Griffin, President of Userful. "Ubuntu with Userful's 'Multiplier' offers dramatic hardware and software savings, literally offering organizations ten Linux workstations for what they would otherwise spend on just a single Windows computer with commercial office and graphics software."'' ''Userful's Multiplier software is ideally suited for organizations that wish to deploy large numbers of workstations for users without deploying a large number of computers. By sharing the processing power and resources of modern, often overpowered PCs with up to nine additional users, Userful and Ubuntu can reduce IT management, electrical and cooling costs by more than fifty percent per workstation.'' ''"By making Userful's Multiplier available on Ubuntu, we are adding significantly to the potential savings to be made by our customers," commented Malcolm Yates, ISV and Partner Manager at Canonical. "This unique solution is suitable for schools, small businesses and developing markets, where computing resources tend to be scarce."'' There's more at http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/274522.htm (Full Disclosure: Ubuntu Weekly New's Chief Editor, Corey Burger, works for Userful and fought to exclude this story due to conflict of interest. He was overruled.) ITWeek.co.uk and WhatPC.co.uk reporter Barry Shilliday has discussed two alternative methods of installing extra software on Ubuntu, and also discussed the Kubuntu desktop alternative. ''In this article, we expand on a previous article that examined the update of a fresh Ubuntu Dapper Drake installation to make it more desktop and multimedia-friendly, by looking at the automated options.'' ''In addition, we take a closer look at Ubuntu’s KDE offspring, Kubuntu.'' While we appreciate the discussion, we would like to advise that use of EasyUbuntu and Automatix are generally discouraged.

Notizie Generali
Scott James Remnant a LugRadio
Agli ininizi della settimana, Scott durante la presentazione della versione di upstart 0.2.7, annunciò la sua presenza su LugRadio il lunedì: "seguite il prossimo episodio del programma: BR [http://www.lugradio.org/ LugRadio], che conterrà un'intervista su upstart con il vostro affezionato (se Jono si ricorderà di attaccare il mio microfono :p); questo avverrà il prossimo Lunedì."
Scott James Remnant su Edgy+1
Edgy non è stato ancora pubblicato ma gli utenti sono già impazienti di vedere Edgy+1. Scott di recente ha scherzato ed il suo scherzo ha colto nel segno sul suo blog con un post intitolato "Cosa mi aspetto di trovare in Edgy+1". Il post è mirato al sondaggio delle tecnologie che rendono più accessibile la comunicazione, sia tra utenti che tra hardware. Scott ha parlato di Telepathy, la nuova struttura per la comunicazione, e come (galago e farsight) modificheranno il sistema di comunicare degli utenti così come sarà più facile per i programmatori inserire le funzioni IM nelle loro applicazioni. Continuando sul fronte della comunicazione, Scott quindi parla della configurazione automatica della rete con Avahi e Zeroconf come pure della facilità di connessione con bluetooth con una sincronizzazione migliore.

LTSP Hackfest
I membri del progetto [http://ltsp.org LTSP project], ed i programmatori provenienti da diverse distribuzioni si sono riuniti a Clarkston, Michigan la settimana scorsa per organizzare il futuro di LTSP. Ubuntu era presente per assistere all'inizio dei lavori della fusione tra Ubuntu LTSP e la linea principale LTSP. Era presente Jorge Castro che ha scritto sull'evento: BR [http://news.linux.com/news/06/09/21/233234.shtml?tid=47 Linux.com].
Nuove applicazioni In Edgy
La versione Beta di Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)è di prossima pubblicazione (il 28 di Settembre). Per questa ragione Matt Zimmerman ne ha annunciato il congelamento fino al momento della pubblicazione. La priorità consiste nella sistemazione delle anomalie. Maggiori informazioni sulla Beta in congelamento sul sito: BR https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000196.html BR Le altre novità della settimana:
'''Tradurre da qui'''
This week has brought us, amongst others:
- upstart 0.2.7
- python 2.5
- firefox 2.0b2
- openoffice 2.0.4~rc2
A number of ichthux-* packages rolled into Edgy in the last week. These are packages for a Kubuntu-based project called Ichthux (http://www.ichthux.com) which is producing a set of default apps and artwork for the Christian user community. So far ichthux-meta, ichthux-default-settings, ichthux-emoticons, and ichthux-konqueror-shortcuts have been uploaded along with several Sword modules for various languages with more to come before the Edgy Universe Freeze. The Ichthux development team is composed of Ubuntu and Debian developers such as Raphaël Pinson (Kubuntu core dev), Jordan Mantha (MOTU), and Ben Armstrong (Debian Developer).
Readahead, a tool to speed up boot times by reading files into a cache, has recently been updated by Scott James Remnant. In order for readahead to be effective, it must be updated regularly. On a development release, this can be somewhat tricky, due to the number of changes made. Futher, several communities members playing with readahead discovered it ran better in the foreground during boot, rather than the background. Both of these changes, amongst others, can be found in readahead-list_0.20050517.0220. You can read more about the specific changes, including boot times, at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020967.html
Martin Pitt has announced the general availability of packages with debug symbols, as part of the apt-get-debug symbols spec (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/apt-get-debug-symbols). Currently the packages are only available through Martin's people.ubuntu.com archive, but work is preceding apace on getting them into the Ubuntu archives. Further, work is also being done to pull in the debug packages automatically, via the new crash collection tool, apport. You can read more about Martin's work at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html
A common question users ask is why Ubuntu does not install NetworkManager, a new tool to control wireless and other networks, by default. NetworkManager was evaluated in the 6.06 development cycle and found lacking, although a fully comprehensive answer has never really been available. In a recent thread on ubuntu-devel asking this very question, Scott James Remnant laid out the various issues. You can read Scott's answer at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020886.html
Daniel Holbach, between uploading new telepathy packages, found time to update the various PDA utilities. pilot-link (0.12.1), gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits (both 2.0.14) have landed in Edgy. Daniel has also asked for testers of this new code, over at the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PDATesters/Hardware wiki page. You can read more about it at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020880.html
The Telepathy team continued full steam ahead this week. Telepathy-inspector was updated to 0.3.4. Riccardo Setti also joined the team, uploading telepathy-gabble 0.3.6. Finally, the ever busy Scott James Remnant wrote a blog post about what he would like to see in Edgy+1. Featured prominently in the blog post was Telepathy. You can read Scott's post at http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/09/22/what-i-want-in-edgy-1
The world of Edgy, was, as always, busy these week. These are only a small fraction of the changes that happened in the Edgy world. If you don't see something you think should have been covered (maybe something else Scott did?), we are always looking for new editors.
In The Press
Enterprise Storage Forum takes a look at The Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) and find Ubuntu under the hood:
As for the software running the system, it's almost all open source. "Primarily now we're using the Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) release of Debian (www.debian.org) for our OS," says Berry. "It's very easy to manage and install. We also use Linux, which we've used for many years in different flavors. And we use Apache and things like Perl and PHP."
For the Archive, the decision to go with open source software was based on cost savings as well as experience.
"Obviously you don't pay the big licensing fees," says Berry. "But it also gives us a lot of openness and freedom, and the Archive is usually pushing some technical edge. So it's nice to have that flexibility, which we wouldn't necessarily have had with vendor software."

CNET's Tom Merritt has recorded a video introduction to Ubuntu. You can watch it http://tinyurl.co.uk/gi50
Userful Corporation and Canonical are working together to deliver even more value to organizations that deploy Ubuntu:
"Our virtualized X-server enables a single Ubuntu PC equipped with extra video cards to support up to 10 monitors, USB keyboards, and users simultaneously," says Tim Griffin, President of Userful. "Ubuntu with Userful's 'Multiplier' offers dramatic hardware and software savings, literally offering organizations ten Linux workstations for what they would otherwise spend on just a single Windows computer with commercial office and graphics software."
Userful's Multiplier software is ideally suited for organizations that wish to deploy large numbers of workstations for users without deploying a large number of computers. By sharing the processing power and resources of modern, often overpowered PCs with up to nine additional users, Userful and Ubuntu can reduce IT management, electrical and cooling costs by more than fifty percent per workstation.
"By making Userful's Multiplier available on Ubuntu, we are adding significantly to the potential savings to be made by our customers," commented Malcolm Yates, ISV and Partner Manager at Canonical. "This unique solution is suitable for schools, small businesses and developing markets, where computing resources tend to be scarce."

(Full Disclosure: Ubuntu Weekly New's Chief Editor, Corey Burger, works for Userful and fought to exclude this story due to conflict of interest. He was overruled.)
ITWeek.co.uk and WhatPC.co.uk reporter Barry Shilliday has discussed two alternative methods of installing extra software on Ubuntu, and also discussed the Kubuntu desktop alternative.
In this article, we expand on a previous article that examined the update of a fresh Ubuntu Dapper Drake installation to make it more desktop and multimedia-friendly, by looking at the automated options.
In addition, we take a closer look at Ubuntu’s KDE offspring, Kubuntu.
While we appreciate the discussion, we would like to advise that use of EasyUbuntu and Automatix are generally discouraged.

Feature Of The Week
For many end users simply unplugging a usb thumbdrive is the norm. What many, however, do not know is that this can be damaging to the data. Edgy now has a small unobtrusive warning popup that informs the user if the data did not sync before unplugging usb. This will prevent many usb related data losses.
