Great beautiful idea this new one repository that it collects, at least in the intentions, the best games for ubuntu and of it renders the installation and the modernization truly easy. Playdeb is available on GetDeb and includes a repository of software APT with a list of games that can be installed with a simple one click on the install links. These last ones need already of introduced AptURL with Ubuntu 7.10; playdeb of it demands an modernized version whose package deb can be found here. After to have installed the package it is necessary alone to slide the list of the games and to cliccare on a install link; it will come opened a dialogue window that asks the authorization to install the game, last click on yes and will leave the procedure.
Naturally it can be always added “repo” (deb mirror: /www.getdeb.net/playdeb-mirror/hardy/// hardy/) on /etc/apt/sources.list, but often for “niubbi” this is a delicate operation. In the precedence versions of AptURL it had been implemented feature for the aggiuta of repository, but it is disabilitata for emergency reasons, reason for which the solution of Playdeb to offer a package DEB for the addition of the repository it seems to me absolutely condivisibile.

The site is still a prototype, therefore with an incomplete list of games, of the difficulties of access due to the overload of the serveur that I presume literally bombed from the link. and with anchor some problem in the installation of some games (to es. I have not been able to install Barbie Seashore Adventure 1,0 because apturl he does not find it). However, in spite of these defects of youth, I think this already advanced plan to the CNR of Linspire in the design, for the facility of the set-up, the lack of conflicts with the repositories of ubuntu, and, not last, for the possibility to use the package manager existing.
It Tries to you and says what to me of it thoughts!

Little 1.5.1 days ago the famous manager of nets has been released wicd wired and wireless. After a long beta series and release candidates finally are themselves joints to the stable version dedicated above all to the resolution of some bug that plagued the version precedence. In order to enjoy wicd it is necessary to disinstallare network manager (the two managers are incompatible), to carry out the download of the packages for Ubuntu and to proceed here with the istallazione.

Previously I have tested a version of development of Network Manager 0,7 and must say that although the most remarkable improvements of this last one, wicd is still sure advanced for power, flexibility and facility of use. N.M has from its a greater thoroughness, as it succeeds to manage not only the logons wired and wireless, but also the VPN and the PPP, however this not enough to fargli assigning the palm of better manager than net. Of the rest for the logons point to point there are tool much comfortable like Gnome ppp or Kppp. Quite impietoso the comparison version 0,6 of N.M lacking in the tool for VPN and PPP of which over and plagued from two fastidiosissmi bug: respective the difficulty in the configuration of the nets wireless and the browser firefox that it comes launch in modality not online when N.M is disconnected.

To install kde 4,1 on Ubuntu Hardy never has not been thus easy; nothing more complicated (but, next to my opinion, thrilling) procedures of compilation, dependencies to satisfy, script to install…, thinks next to all apt-get in 5 steps:

1. to add the line deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main to the /etc/apt/sources.list rows;
2. I sudo apt-get update;
3. I sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop;
4. I sudo apt-get install gtk-qt-engine-kde4 in order to make to assume more to the applications of ubuntu an aspect in compliance with the look than kde 4;
5. I sudo update-alternatives - config usplash-artwork.so and I sudo update-initramfs - u in order to restore Usplash di otherwise modified Ubuntu from kde4.

Now we are ready to approach new fiammante kde 4,1 through the shielded one of login cliccando on Options and Select Sessions. In order to use gtk-qt-engine-kde4 it is necessary to go on System Settings->Appearance->GTK Styles and Fonts and to select Use my KDE Style in GTK application, to cliccare Apply and to make the log out because the change has effect.
Naturally it is possible to carry out many other configurations to begin from the installation of new widgets for Plasma, I as an example I have qualified the effects of the compositing of Kwin through System Settings->Desktop->Desktop Effects, selecting Enable Desktop Effects and choosing between those puttinges on hand in the card All Effects.

Truly magnificent, I would dare to say godurioso! The sapete, I am an enthusiastic one of Kde 4, it nearly have seen to be born, have followed step step the improvements, the fixing of the bug, it I have compiled tens of times and tired me absolutely not to praise the enormous job carried out from the sviluppatori, the passion and the ambition in the construction of a desktop manager from the evolven solutions and, still more, from the innovative conception. It is obvious, we are not still to the levels of efficiency of Gnome or version 3,5 of Kde, which Amarok 2, K3b (or K4b still lack the great applications), Lancelot or Raptor (who will gain the battle of menus)we will probably see, them with Kde 4,2 in escape to February 2009, but the base is sincerely of splendid invoice.

Now I can fregiarmi of the title skillful it of “detective”, in fact mine “birthday gift” it was effectively splendid eeepc 900 a black one, “piccolino”. The photo under documents the moment of the opening of the confection. 

Last the euphoria I have begun to smanettare with the enthusiasm of a child to the taken ones with play so much wished, and, after to have stated the veridicità of sure book reviews on the not exceptional one, in order to use a eufemismo, quality of Xandros, at least in the modality “easy”, I have proveduto to the download of eeebuntu netbook remix and to the installation and configuration on the piccolino. It runs the obligation to document also the first failures to me, since version 1,0 of this ubuntu optimized for eeepc after the boot planted to me with a “BusyShell” (initramfs) and the commando line, seems because of a bug that it interests ubuntu in the script casper. The usual search in the forum has produced the modification of the rows casper of the image iso through the extraction of the same image through manager of the archives, an ulterior extraction of the initrd.gz rows, the modification of the script casper (cancellation of mode=755 that it seems determined the bug), the reconstruction of initrd.gz and the substitution of this last one in the iso through utility “the
