If you are used Nokia PC Suite on Windows. Don’t afraid, on Ubuntu that you can using LinBerry – a Blackberry PC Suite for Linux. Although BlackBerry is a complete business mobile it lacks a simple app for Ubuntu which can synchronise the phone. In recent years many user applications for Linux to manage mobile devices has been released, one of them is LinBerry.

LinBerry is an application to manage BlackBerry devices on Linux disros. It helps you to make backups of mobile device to your system, synchronize and manage contacts. It allows installation and uninstallation of applications with a few clicks.

It is still in beta stage but I have successfully tested it with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10.

LinBerry has been tested with handheld BlackBerry RIM 8520 and 8900 Curve, Bold 9000 and 9650 but I think it is compatible with all models.

Ubuntu 11.10 Will Be Called “Oneiric Ocelot”

2011-03-09T15:29:00.001-08:00

Mark Shuttleworth has announced Ubuntu 11.10 and named it Oneiric Ocelot.

Oneiric means “dreamy”, and the combination with Ocelot reminds me of the way innovation happens: part daydream, part discipline.

Ubuntu 11.10 is due out this October, will offer a 2D OpenGL-based Unity interface to support older computers, according mark.

Canonical is still one month away from releasing Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).

Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 Released

2011-03-01T01:11:00.001-08:00

Ubuntu 11.04 is only at alpha 2. What you see listed below is not finished. I don’t know how many times I have to reiterate this to stave off mini-rebellions against Canonical in the comments, but folks: alpha. Remember ‘alpha’.

Unity
Unity, being the default desktop session in Ubuntu 11.04, has received all sorts of tweaking, fixing and honing.
The Launcher now respects your system theme and has intellihide enabled by default. Other important parts have also landed in Unity since Alpha 1, including:

Dash
A initial version of the Dash is now present.

Places
Browsing for files and applications is a mite easier in this second alpha thanks to the initial deployment (why am i writing like this is a company report? No idea, I’ll continue) of Unity’s ‘file’ and ‘application’ places.

Sound menu
As a long-time Sound menu advocate (Yes, being an advocate comes with a Unity-branded beret and sash) I was super pleased to see the return of playlist support to the menu. It’s not 100% as it should be in the Alpha (keyword being: alpha) but it works, therefore making it useful already for playlist aficionados like myself.

Ubuntu one control panel
The new look ‘Ubuntu One Dashboard’ is included by default in Alpha 2. The overhaul is welcome – it certainly helps make syncing and managing your Ubuntu One account easier.

Grid feature
A nifty Compiz plugin now enabled by default is the style ‘Grid’. Drag an app window to the top to maximise, left or right to resize windows side-by-side.

GTK+ Gripper
For the times when auto-sizing doesn’t do it you’ll find a new ‘grip’ handle on window borders and an invisible ‘border aura’ make manual resizing much, much easier (particularly on touchscreens).

Software Centre
Ahh, and so we come to Ubuntu’s ‘app store’. Notable additions present in Alpha 2 include: -
Ratings and reviews
Long wanted and now they’re here: give your favourite apps a star rating, fill in a short review and then tweet your verdict to your social buddies via Gwibber.

Clever Centre
Zeitgeist-powered application recommendations and application usage tracking is also ticking away in Alpha 2. Use it to find new apps to install, find installed apps you don’t use or just freak out at its intelligence.

Ubuntu Classic Desktop
It may be classic but that doesn’t mean it’s sacred; Unity’s Global Menu applet now appears on the top panel, alongside a compact menu button.
LibreOffice
OpenOffice has been replaced with the newly released LibreOffice in this alpha for evaluation purposes.

By Jove we’ve made it to the second alpha of Ubuntu 11.04!

Linux Foundation Announces the Android Builders Summit

2011-02-15T19:28:00.001-08:00

The Linux Foundation upcoming with Android Builders Summit, on April 13-14,2011 in Hotel Kabuki, San Francisco. I’m a fan of Android, because it’s basically the same promise that Linux offers. I hope you can join in the Android Builders Summit to see that someone is making an effort to build teamwork and collaboration amongst Android developers.

The Android Builders Summit takes place at the same time as the Linux Foundation’s Embedded Linux Conference, so there’s sure to be some interesting overlap between the two camps.

The Linux Foundation Announces Android Builder Summit

New event brings together OEMs, device makers, systems builders and kernel community to collaborate on the Android platform

SAN FRANCISCO, February 16, 2011 — The Linux Foundation, the non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced the first ever AndroidÔ Builder Summit taking place in San Francisco April 13-14, 2011.

The event was created at the request of The Linux Foundation’s members to facilitate collaboration at the systems level. It is co-located with the 2011 Embedded Linux Conference and is open to all.

The Android market is one of the fastest growing areas in all of technology today. The Linux-based operating system’s (OS) global market share on smart phones is surpassing that of Apple iOS, and the release of Android 3.0 (also known as “Honeycomb”) is poised to drive the same trend in the tablet market. The Android Builder Summit will help advance the technology that sits at the very core of each Android device while accelerating the adoption of Linux throughout the consumer devices market.

The Android Builders Summit is a technical summit for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), their device manufacturers, integrators, custom builders, and the growing Android and Linux Kernel developer communities. The Summit will provide an intimate forum for collaboration at the systems level and discussion of core issues and opportunities when designing Android devices.

Summit topics will include: custom builds, alternative middleware, network functionality extensions, Peer to Peer frameworks, USB device support, security, unification of power management, tools and hybrid Android devices among many other topics. To submit a proposal for the Summit, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/android-builders-summit

“Linux is providing the foundation on which next-generation devices are being built, and Android is one of the most shining examples of how successful this model can be,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “We’re pleased to facilitate collaboration among the Android’s ecosystem participants and drive innovation at the systems level of the platform.”

To register for the Android Builder Summit, or to get more information about speaking or sponsorship opportunities, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/android-builders-summit

Android training classes offered by The Linux Foundation will be taking place directly after the Android Builder Summit. For more information, please visit: http://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/android-training-for-developers. For ongoing training opportunities for Android developers, please visit: http://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/android-developer.

The Linux Foundation fosters innovation by hosting events for the Linux technical and business communities. These events help solve pressing issues facing Linux and fuel collaboration and communication between all members of the Linux ecosystem: developers, users, industry, ISVs and distribution vendors. Other Linux Foundation events include a mix of industry and community conferences such as its annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, LinuxCon (North America, Europe, Japan and Brazil) and the Kernel Summit, among others.

25 Even More – Sick Linux Commands

2010-12-13T04:10:00.001-08:00

Here, urfix know how much you guys love top Linux commands, according urfix blog.

1) Monitor progress of a command

pv access.log | gzip > access.log.gz

Pipe viewer is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion. Source: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/unix-utilities-pipe-viewer/

2) Graphical tree of sub-directories

ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e 's/:$//' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//--/g' -e 's/^/   /' -e 's/-/|/'

Prints a graphical directory tree from your current directory

3) Delete all files in a folder that don’t match a certain file extension

rm !(*.foo|*.bar|*.baz)

Deletes all files in a folder that are NOT *.foo, *.bar or *.baz files. Edit the pattern inside the brackets as you like.

4) Easy and fast access to often executed commands that are very long and complex.


some_very_long_and_complex_command # label

When using reverse-i-search you have to type some part of the command that you want to retrieve. However, if the command is very complex it might be difficult to recall the parts that will uniquely identify this command. Using the above trick it’s possible to label your commands and access them easily by pressing ^R and typing the label (should be short and descriptive).

5) Define a quick calculator function

? () { echo "$*" | bc -l; }

defines a handy function for quick calculations from cli.

once defined:

? 10*2+3

6) Display a cool clock on your terminal

watch -t -n1 "date +%T|figlet"

This command displays a clock on your terminal which updates the time every second. Press Ctrl-C to exit.

A couple of variants:

A little bit bigger text:

watch -t -n1 "date +%T|figlet -f big"You can try other figlet fonts, too.

Big sideways characters:

watch -n 1 -t '/usr/games/banner -w 30 $(date +%M:%S)'This requires a particular version of banner and a 40-line terminal or you can adjust the width (“30″ here).

7) intercept stdout/stderr of another process

strace -ff -e trace=write -e write=1,2 -p SOME_PID

8) Remove duplicate entries in a file without sorting.

awk '!x[$0]++' <file>

Using awk, find duplicates in a file without sorting, which reorders the contents. awk will not reorder them, and still find and remove duplicates which you can then redirect into another file.

9) Record a screencast and convert it to an mpeg

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 800x600 -i :0.0 /tmp/outputFile.mpg

Grab X11 input and create an MPEG at 25 fps with the resolution 800×600

10) Mount a .iso file in UNIX/Linux

mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/cdrom -oloop

“-o loop” lets you use a file as a block device

11) Insert the last command without the last argument (bash)

!:-

/usr/sbin/ab2 -f TLS1 -S -n 1000 -c 100 -t 2 http://www.google.com/then

!:- http://www.urfix.com/is the same as

/usr/sbin/ab2 -f TLS1 -S -n 1000 -c 100 -t 2 http://www.urfix.com/

12) Convert seconds to human-readable format

date -d@1234567890

This example, for example, produces the output, “Fri Feb 13 15:26:30 EST 2009″

13) Job Control

^Z $bg $disown

You’re running a script, command, whatever.. You don’t expect it to take long, now 5pm has rolled around and you’re ready to go home… Wait, it’s still running… You forgot to nohup it before running it… Suspend it, send it to the background, then disown it… The ouput wont go anywhere, but at least the command will still run…

14) Edit a file on a remote host using vim

vim scp://username@host//path/to/somefile

15) Monitor the queries being run by MySQL

watch -n 1 mysqladmin --user=<user> --password=<password> processlist

Watch is a very useful command for periodically running another command – in this using mysqladmin to display the processlist. This is useful for monitoring which queries are causing your server to clog up.

More info here: http://codeinthehole.com/archives/2-Monitoring-MySQL-processes.html

16) escape any command aliases

\[command]

e.g. if rm is aliased for ‘rm -i’, you can escape the alias by prepending a backslash:

rm [file] # WILL prompt for confirmation per the alias

\rm [file] # will NOT prompt for confirmation per the default behavior of the command

17) Show apps that use internet connection at the moment. (Multi-Language)

ss -p

for one line per process:

ss -p | catfor established sockets only:

ss -p | grep STAfor just process names:

ss -p | cut -f2 -sd\"or

ss -p | grep STA | cut -f2 -d\"

18) Send pop-up notifications on Gnome

notify-send ["<title>"] "<body>"

The title is optional.

Options:

-t: expire time in milliseconds.

-u: urgency (low, normal, critical).

-i: icon path.

On Debian-based systems you may need to install the ‘libnotify-bin’ package.

Useful to advise when a wget download or a simulation ends. Example:

wget URL ; notify-send "Done"

19) quickly rename a file

mv filename.{old,new}

20) Remove all but one specific file

rm -f !(survivior.txt)

21) Generate a random password 30 characters long

strings /dev/urandom | grep -o '[[:alnum:]]' | head -n 30 | tr -d '\n'; echo

Find random strings within /dev/urandom. Using grep filter to just Alphanumeric characters, and then print the first 30 and remove all the line feeds.

22) Run a command only when load average is below a certain threshold

echo "rm -rf /unwanted-but-large/folder" | batch

Good for one off jobs that you want to run at a quiet time. The default threshold is a load average of 0.8 but this can be set using atrun.

23) Binary Clock

watch -n 1 'echo "obase=2;`date +%s`" | bc'

Create a binary clock.

24) Processor / memory bandwidthd? in GB/s

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=32768

Read 32GB zero’s and throw them away.

How fast is your system?

25) Backup all MySQL Databases to individual files

for I in $(mysql -e 'show databases' -s --skip-column-names); do mysqldump $I | gzip > "$I.sql.gz"; done

Ceph: A Linux petabyte-scale distributed file system

2010-05-06T00:49:00.001-07:00

Linux® continues to invade the scalable computing space and, in particular, the scalable storage space. A recent addition to Linux's impressive selection of file systems is Ceph, a distributed file system that incorporates replication and fault tolerance while maintaining POSIX compatibility. Explore the architecture of Ceph and learn how it provides fault tolerance and simplifies the management of massive amounts of data.

As an architect in the storage industry, I have an affinity to file systems. These systems are the user interfaces to storage systems, and although they all tend to offer a similar set of features, they also can provide notably different features. Ceph is no different, and it offers some of the most interesting features you'll find in a file system.

Ceph began as a PhD research project in storage systems by Sage Weil at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). But as of late March 2010, you can now find Ceph in the mainline Linux kernel (since 2.6.34). Although Ceph may not be ready for production environments, it's still useful for evaluation purposes. This article explores the Ceph file system and the unique features that make it an attractive alternative for scalable distributed storage.

Ubuntu Christian Edition 5.0

2009-07-21T05:29:00.001-07:00

Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians. It is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu Christian Edition release supports PC (Intel x86). Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu Christian Edition covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools (www.ubuntuce.com)

After almost a full year without a release we finally have the next release ready. We also have a new development team and focus. The release of Ubuntu Christian Edition 5.0, based on Ubuntu 9.04, is now available for download as well as from our repository. This has been a request from the very beginning. We are excited that now Ubuntu users can simply install Ubuntu Christian Edition using APT or Synaptic. This release is a back-to-basics release and should be considered beta at this point. We are focusing on the functionality for now and will work towards the aesthetics.

Download New All of Linux Distro - DistroWatch

2009-06-24T18:41:00.001-07:00

Distrowatch

The DistroWatch web site was first published on 31 May 2001. The concept started as a very simple table comprising of 5 major distributions and the chart only compared a few features (price, version, release date) and a few package versions (Kernel, KDE, Gnome, XFree86, Apache). Trying to make it slightly more comprehensive and useful (and failing to find anything similar and up-to-date on the Internet), I have kept adding more distributions, features and packages until the table reached fairly reasonable state in terms of information provided. At that stage, I decided to share the table with the Linux community worldwide and moved it from a spreadsheet into an HTML document.

EG:
PID TTY TIME COMMAND
10550 pts/3 0:01 /bin/csh
10574 pts/4 0:02 /bin/csh
10590 pts/4 0:09 APP

Each line represents one process, with a process being loosely defined as a running instance of a program. The column headed PID (process ID) shows the assigned process numbers of the processes. The heading COMMAND shows the location of the executed process.

Putting commands together
Often you will find you need to use different commands on the same line. Here are some examples. Note that the | character is called a pipe, it takes date from one program and pipes it to another.
> means create a new file, overwriting any content already there.
>> means tp append data to a file, creating a newone if it doesn not already exist.
<> /root/lastlogins.tmp
This will print all the current login history to a file called lastlogins.tmp in /root/

tail -10000 /var/log/exim_mainlog |grep domain.com |more
This will grab the last 10,000 lines from /var/log/exim_mainlog, find all occurances of domain.com (the period represents ‘anything’,
– comment it out with a so it will be interpretted literally), then send it to your screen page by page.

netstat -an |grep :80 |wc -l
Show how many active connections there are to apache (httpd runs on port 80)

mysqladmin processlist |wc -l
Show how many current open connections there are to mysql
