This week we have assisted to the release of Gnome 2,24 that soon will be followed from version 2,26 and 2,28, till definitive the 3,0 previewed for 2010. However, while the indiscretions on Gnome 3,0 are still rather insufficient, it has been published before road-map of artwork the user-interface.

These salienti points:

• new version of GDM;
• elimination of the splash screen;
• new you smash in;
• “dock mode” with icone the widest ones style Mac OS X;
• use of Mango (the new set of icone that it would have to replace Tango);
• new animations in order to improve aesthetic and the usabilità.

Other feedbacks to this link.

I have selected 5 scripts for nautilus that they render the life indeed the much easiest one:

1. Encrypt/Decrypt (cripta and decrypts rows - dependencies: ccrypt, zenity);
2. Usbumount (extension the supports usb mounted in /media - dependencies: zenity, notify-send);
3. NScripts (a set of divided script that in three great categories: Files, Root, Utils - dependencies: sed, bash, zenity, /usr/bin/md5sum, shred, nautilus, gawk, gksu or gnomesu);
4. Audio Extract (extracts the audio from the multimediali rows - dependencies: ffmpeg):
5. De X to ISO (creates an image iso with simple click - dependencies: genisoimage, zenity).

Usbumount possiende an installation script (install.sh) that you can launch from shell (. /install.sh), the others 4 you must scompattarli (if necessary) and copy them in /home/ $USER/.gnome2/nautilus-script). Fact this you are already ready to use them with the skillful key of mouse to the voice the Script of the menu to curtain. Good divertimento!

Finally from the conference of Guadec it comes outside the possible date of the release of Gnome 3.0. The great answer to kde 4 doverbbe to see the light in 2010, this at least to judge from the indiscretions that speak about a jump from version 2,30 to the 3,0 with relative development of GTK 3,0 that will see a general riscrittura of the code and a kind of “work in progress” till release the 3.2.

There is already a wiki dedicated to the plan, a mail with steps for the GTK and a repository to the address git: /git.imendio.com/projects/gtk .git accessible also from http://git.imendio.com/?p=projects/gtk+.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/GSEAL.
However to beyond the technical aspects incuriosisce the ability that the team of Gnome will know to put in field in answering to a desktop manager (kde 4) that for the date, among other things still “whispered”, of the release of Gnome 3,0 he will be already mature and stable and, presumes to ragion seen, will have conquered great slices of consent between the customers, perhaps not only GNU/Linux.

Till little tiny ones ago I used the cable usb in order to connect the cellular one to the PC and to connect to me to Internet. However, having acquired some time ago a chiavetta bluetooth, they are said to me: Why not to use it for a beautiful logon without threads?
Here my procedure:

1. To connect the adapter bluetooth to the PC and to make sure that or be recognized using the commando hcitool dev; to me Devices comes outside:
   hci0 00:09: DD: 50: 2A: 78;
2. to shape the modem rendering it trovabile (every cellular one has its procedure), to approach it the PC and launch hcitool scan. My result is this: Scanning…
   00:1 and: E2: 44: 67: 34 SGH-U700;
3. now we see to find the channel number that our cellular one assigns to the Dial-up service launch:
   I sudo sdptool browse 00:1 and: E2: 44: 67: 34; it will come some outside a long series of information, we we must try the written Service Name: Dialup Networking and under of it Channel: x (in my Channel case: 3);
4. to create the bridge (binding) between our cellular and computer being opened the rows rfcomm (Radius Frequency Communications) - I sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and carrying out the following modifications:
   

   to decommentare the line rfcomm0 {;
   to decommentare “bind” and we do not replace it with “bind yes”;
   to the voice “device Bluetooth address of the” to write device 00:1 and: E2: 44: 67: 34; (this last one is the univocal number of my cellular one, will change naturally it with yours);
   to decommentare “RFCOMM channel for the connection” and to write channel: 3 (the channel of mine samsung; you will change for you is various); obviously it is necessary to decommentare the closing parenthesis};

5. now it must shape the device bluetooth of our PC; to open the rows hcid.conf with I sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, and to thus modify it:
   

   to the voice security to insert security car;
   in paring writing paring fines;
   in passkey introducing a password writing to es. passkey “1234 ″;

6. to riavviare the services bluetooth, I sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart;
7. to make the binding: I sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 00:1 and: E2: 44: 67: 34 3 (the last number is the channel, while those precedence, like already said, are the of identification one of my cellular one);
8. for the connection I have used gnome ppp previously shaped for the use of the cable usb, in fact the only thing d to change is the device delmodem that, naturally, with the bluetooth it is not found automatically; enough to insert the /dev/rfcomm0 line and the game it is made.

It is not badly to be freed of the cable, you do not believe?

Gedit is the text editor of default of Gnome and, besides its very characteristic notes of typical lightness and usabilità of the gnomo, introduce a system of plugin personalizzabile, highly similar to that one of firefox, than of it increases in important measure much the potentialities. Some of these plugin are installed of default, others can be implemented son a simple one sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins. Now enough to make Applicazioni->Accessori->Editor of text, to go on Modifica->Preferenze and to select the card plugin:

Others can some be found to questoindirizzo.
