Koffice Beta, the great challenge.

Mailed from Mad to the 3:12 pm in Kde4, Book reviews, software | no comment”

The 25 of September have been announced the release of Koffice beta 1 and I have intentional to try it on mine kde4 svn. Kdesvn-build koffice, and, after approximately two hours and thus average between download and compilation here the result through three screenshots:

These the main proposed applications:

KWord, a Word processor;
KSpread, a calculation sheet;
KPresenter, manager of presentations;
KPlato, a Project management software;
Karbon, a editor of vectorial diagram;
Krita, a editor of diagram bitmap;
Kchart, a manager of diagrams available like plugin and therefore integrated in the other applications.

For other information on the download I use and it of Koffice on other operating systems (Koffice is multiplatform) consulted this page.
Sincerely creed that this release or still to the height of OpenOffice or MsOffice, even if is not certain that the great job carried out from the sviluppatori has carried remarkable improvements to all the package. Perhaps it convene to wait for the definitive release for having more elements and more expressing a completed judgment, however my thought is that the development of this suite depends in sure a which way from the fortunes of Kde4 to which me intrinsically seems legacy, although its multisistemica vocation.

Vlc 0,92 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Mailed from Mad to the 9:13 am in Hardy Heron, Book reviews, Ubuntu, software | 1 comment”

VideoLAN from has little released version 0,92 of its famous player with an important series innovation: a new graphical interface, support to new codec, insertion of controls for the management of the entire screen video, possibility to reproduce the video of YouTube, Google etc…, simply inserting the URL from the Media->Apri menu net. For ulterior deepenings visited the page What is Cool.
However who wanted to try a similar wonder on Ubuntu Hardy could find itself in anguishes in stating that, in spite of the page of download of VideoLAN she indicates like means of installation that classic of the repository “multiverse”, the version of ours player is still the 0.8.6 here. Then what to make?
Simply to add in /etc/apt/sources.list the repo following: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main, a beautiful one apt-get update, I sudo apt-get remove vlc vlc-nox and I only sudo apt-get autoremove (if a precedence is had version of installed Vlc) and at last I sudo apt-get install vlc-nox vlc.
It tastes it to you! vlc0.92.png

Test on OpenOffice 3 RC1

Mailed from Mad to the 12:01 am in Book reviews, software | 1 comment”

OpenOffice is, to my opinion, one of the strategic plans of all the universe of the free software and is also the key in order to unhinge the dominion of uncle Bill. The test that I have carried out reports to the version 3,0 RC1 (release candidates 1), therefore still in phase of already stable and rich development and however of a new one it dresses diagram let alone of important functionality: “improvements in the support to format ODF, in the reading of the rows XMl di Microsoft Office, in notes of writer, the support to rows Here the characteristics in the detail.
The installation is easy, enough to make the download from the page of the site of Sun of the apt package own distribution, scompattarlo and to install it from shell with all its dependencies:

cd ~/Desktop/OOO300_m5_native_packed-3_en-US.9350;

I sudo dpkg - the DEBS/*.deb.

This type of installation does not add nothing to our menu of the applications, but we can manually make creating it a launcher on the Writing desk with the key dx of the mouse, inserting the /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice commando and the icona that more us garba.

It is wanted to be removed? Enough to eliminate all the packages previously installed with the commando to point 2:

GNU/Linux is my home

Mailed from Mad to the 8:26 pm in Book reviews, Several | no comment”

Sapete that is not my habit to speak about the other people's sites, however this that I go to you to introduce is much detail and deserves an exception. Draft of www.makelinux.net that introduces a series of indeed interesting usefullnesses sulll' Linux universe, very made and, like saying, many details. The Home Page is enough minimalista with single link in directory aimed, while the other pages are structured in order to supply a distance of simple and interactive learning of ours pinguino. Truly remarkable they are the Interactive map of Linux kernel, a beautifulst interactive map of the kernel

and the GNU/Linux is my home, a kind of house, anch'essa interactive, with the main members of a GNU/Linux system, from the kernel to the desktop manager.
The guides do not lack, to Shell Bash (beginners and advanced) or to the administrator of system rather than to that one of net… Indeed a remarkable job, truly many compliments!

EeePc and Sabayon 3.5

Mailed from Mad to the 6:12 pm in 3.5, Book reviews, Sabayon | 8 comments”

I have tried the liveCD of the Sabayon new on mine piccolino and of it I have received a best impression. No problem of configuration and tantissimi ready programs to the use; it is spaced from “virtual” Google Earth, Second Life, to the games which Battle of Wesnoth, Nexuiz, Sauberbraten, to all this that is necessary for navigation web, the diagram, quite the didactic software

and even compiz

activated and perfectly working also on the LiveCD. But the strong piece, to my opinion, is Spritz Package manager,

the front-end of the wonderful Entropy that helps all those people which not they feel if it to resort to the instrument emerges (from line of commando of Gentoo). Defects? As an example the Kickoff menu that to me it does not appeal to of its, then on “piccolino” ago a very bad figure, occupies half desktop.
However a beautiful option also for the ultracapacities them, not found?
