VLC 2.2 Officially Released, Lets Users Resume Movies from Where They Left Off


http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable


VideoLAN announced the general availability of the highly anticipated VLC Media Player 2.2.0 open-source and multi-platform video playback application a couple of hours after releasing the sixth maintenance release of the 2.1 branch, VLC 2.1.6, as reported by Softpedia yesterday, February 27.

Some of our readers were confused about these new VLC releases that appeared on the same day, so they’ve asked us to clear up the confusion and make a separate article with all the features introduced by the major 2.2.0 update of VLC Media Player, which deprecates version 2.1.6.

VLC 2.2.0 includes a huge number of new features, as well as assorted bug fixes and improvements, so make sure you visit the official announcement for details. We've also reported earlier this month that VLC 3.0.0 will introduce some powerful features, including Wayland and Chromecast support.

Prominent features of VLC Media Player 2.2.0, dubbed Weatherwax, include support for resuming videos from where you left off, support for automatically rotating videos on mobile phones, compatibility with new HD (High Definition), H.265/HEVC, Opus, and VP9 codecs for both encoding and decoding operations.

Quirky, a sister project of Puppy Linux, is a Linux distribution built with a custom tool called Woof. The underlying infrastructure, such as boot-up and shut-down scripts, setup tools, hardware detection, desktop management, user interface, speed and general ease-of-use are common across all distributions built with Woof, but a specific build will have a different package selection and further customisation (even totally different binary packages). Quirky is developed by the founder of Puppy Linux and Woof to push the envelope a bit further, to explore some new ideas in the underlying infrastructure -- some of which may be radical or odd, hence the name Quirky.

LFA (Linux For All) 15.04 Build 150225

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/lfa-linux/
LFA (Linux For ALL) is an open source GNU/Linux distribution based on the Ubuntu 14.10 operating system and bundled with the Fluxbox window manager. It runs only on 64-bit hardware platforms and includes Linux kernel 3.19.0.
Distributed as a 64-bit Live DVD

It is distributed as a single Live DVD ISO-hybrid image, which means that users will be able to easily deploy it on a USB flash drive and run the live environment in persistence mode (it saves all the changes made during the live session).
Boot options

The boot medium can also be used to copy the entire ISO image to RAM (system memory) and eject it. Keep in mind though, that everything will be lost when you reboot the computer. In addition, you can boot an existing operating system, run a memory test or install LFA directly without testing it first (not recommended).

By default, the operating system will drop users to a LightDM login screen, from where they can choose the desktop environment to be used for the live session. The username is lfa, without a password. Apparently, you need to choose a session, as the operating system has not been instructed to start a specific desktop environment.
Features the Fluxbox window manager

The distribution features the minimalistic Fluxbox window manager and uses the Cairo-Dock as the desktop interface. The layout consists of a panel located on the bottom edge of the screen, as well as a dock (application launcher) on the upper part of the scree

In addition to Unity, Cubuntu includes the Cinnamon desktop environment, the Openbox window manager, as well as the GNOME Classic desktop environment (with Compiz and Metacity).

Distributed as a dual-arch Live DVD

Before anything else, we should mention that this project is based on a development version of Ubuntu (14.04 LTS at the moment of writing this article) and it is not suitable for production machines. In addition, the Live DVD supports only the French language, which might be an issue for some people.

Live DVD boot options

The boot menu of the Live CD is much more simplistic than the one found in Ubuntu. However, it presents the usual live mode, install mode, memtest (for testing your computer's memory (RAM)), hd (for booting the operating system that is currently installed), and xforcevesa (for booting the live environment in safe graphics mode). Because it uses the GRUB bootloader, experienced users can easily edit all of the aforementioned boot menu entries by pressing the Tab key on a selection. Even if the Live CD is available in French, the boot menu and the entire installation process is in English.

Wine 1.7.37 Adds Multi-Channel Audio Support, Fixes 71 Bugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      https://www.winehq.org/
Wine stands for "Wine is not an emulator" and it is an open source command-line software that's capable of translating Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly for integrating Windows applications into your Linux/UNIX desktop. For regular Linux users, the above means that the Wine software will allow them to run applications which are designed to be installed only on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
It's not a virtual machine or an emulator

However, Wine should not be confused with a virtual machine or an emulator. It provides binary compatibility, support for graphics, sound interaction, as well as support for modems, networks, scanners, tablets, keyboards, and other devices. The software’s API allows developers to integrate Wine in their projects, and as a result, numerous graphical user interfaces, both free and commercial, appeared on the Internet over the years.
Numerous GUIs exist

PlayOnLinux, Crossover, Q4Wine, Bordeaux, Pipelight, Swine, WineXS, and winetricks are some of the most popular Wine GUI (Graphical User Interface) front-ends on Linux. On Mac OS X you can use the Wineskin, WineBottler and osxwinebuilder apps. Also, the application is not only supported on the Linux platform, as it is also compatible with other POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as BSD (FreeBSD, PC-BSD), OpenSolaris, and Mac OS X.

Novidades do elementary OS 0.3 “Isis” Beta 1

Após a revelação do possível nome da próxima versão do elementary OS, é hora de planejar mais um ciclo de desenvolvimento. Os designers e arquitetos do sistema já começaram a trabalhar nos possíveis novos recursos do Isis, que deve vir mais rápido, simples e elegante do que nunca. Configura as mudanças:

Design mais refinado

O tema padrão do elementary OS, além receber uma compatibilidade com a versão mais recente do GTK+, deve ganhar alguns refinamentos, um dos confirmados é um novo design do checkbox, além de um tema escuro para aplicações específicas, como o terminal. Haverá também uma mudança em relação às barras de rolagem, cuja futura aparência ainda não foi revelada. As janelas serão disponibilizadas com um cabeçalho compacto, esse recurso está sendo largamente explorado pelos designers em vários mockups, e sua implementação será possível, provavelmente, a partir do GTK+ 3.10 . Algumas aplicações também deverão ganhar botões com a função “voltar” de formato personalizado.

Mockup do plug de contas online, com cabeçalho compacto e botão de voltar com novo formato padrão

Novos plugs

Deverão chegar novos e muito aguardados plugs ao Switchboard, estão na lista para o primeiro beta do Isis, os plugs de rede, som, mouse e touchpad, contas online, contas de usuários, sincronização com dispositivos, idiomas e monitores.

Novos Indicadores

A nova versão do elementary deverá também ganhar novos modelos de indicadores que darão a possibilidade de maior interação com as aplicações.

Indicador de impressora com controle de arquivos enviados para impressão.

Calendário nas nuvens

Maya, o aplicativo de calendário, apesar de já estar em testes a sincronização com o Google Calendário deverá também ganhar integração com o Outlook.com, iCloud e outros serviços de nuvem populares.

Suporte nativo à gestos

Um dos recursos não presentes no Luna foi o suporte nativo à gestos, seja em telas touchscreen ou em touchpads, os desenvolvedores já começaram a trabalhar no reconhecimento de gestos de multi-toque, este recurso deve ser implementado já no primeiro beta.

Instalação automática de drivers proprietários

Nós sabemos que instalar drivers proprietários em sistemas Linux não é nada fácil, ainda mais quando não há nenhum driver disponível junto ao Kernel, para facilitar a vida do usuário, os desenvolvedores pretendem automatizar a instalação de driver proprietários durante o primeiro boot do sistema, após instalado.

Novo sistema de resposta à ações

Quando um usuário realiza alguma ação que altere o estado do sistema, o sistema deve dar uma resposta ao usuário, por exemplo, quando se altera o volume de um dispositivo de áudio usando o teclado, é esperado que o sistema indique ao usuário que o volume está sendo alterado. Os desenvolvedores do elementary pretendem desenvolver e implementar um sistema refinado de resposta à ações, a discussão e especificações desse sistema podem ser encontradas neste documento.

Gerenciamento do sistema com uma única conta de usuário

Para unificar todas as contas de sincronização de arquivos, AppCenter, chat e etc., pretende-se criar uma “Conta elementary”.

Sistema inteligente de gerenciamento de áudio

Este é uma coleção de ideias para um gerenciamento de áudio mais inteligente, são esperados recursos como pausa automática de música quando recebendo uma ligação e quando não há um conjunto de fones plugados e ajuste do volume baseado no ambiente.

Nova central de aplicativos nativa

Não é novidade que uma nova central de aplicativos vem sendo desenvolvida ao longo dos últimos três anos, nós já citamos isso aqui na comunidade.
Hoje, ainda em fase prematura, a Appcenter encontra-se disponível para testes e a mesma já executa as funções necessárias para um usuário comum como instalação, remoção e pesquisa de aplicativos.

Uma nova base sólida e com um longo tempo de suporte, cortesia do Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

A base mais provável para o Isis é o Ubuntu 14.04, que terá suporte até 2019. Esta versão deverá trazer como novidades o servidor gráfico Mir, GTK+ 3.10 e outras mais bibliotecas atualizadas para melhor performance e estabilidade.

O processo de desenvolvimento ainda está em estágio muito inicial, portanto todos estes recursos ainda são ideias que podem ou não ser implementadas e/ou sofrer várias mudanças. Por conta disto, voltaremos a falar sobre estes no decorrer do desenvolvimento.

E você, o que espera para a próxima versão do elementary?

Frugalware is an open source distribution of Linux based one the popular and powerful Slackware Linux, but with some elements borrowed from the Arch Linux operating system. It contains almost all the important desktop environments, such as GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
The distro can be downloaded as installable-only DVDs for mainstream platforms

This independent operating system is available for download on Softpedia as two installable-only DVD ISO images of approximately 2GB in size each, one for each of the supported hardware platforms (32-bit/i386 and 64-bit/x86_64).
Boot options

A GRUB bootloader will appear when you boot the DVD or USB media from the BIOS of a computer, allowing you to start the Frugalware versatile bootable environment directly from the bootable medium or by copying the contents of the ISO image to RAM.

In addition, you can change video resolutions, switch to a different locale (default is English), as well as to select another keyboard layout (default is English US).
Installation instructions

When users selects the “Frugalware Versatile Bootable Environment” or “Frugalware Versatile Bootable Environment (RAM)” options, the text-mode installer will start, requiring them to select a language for the installation process and a keyboard layout. Furthermore, you must manually partition the disk, select which package groups you wish to install, configure the network, add a password for the root (system administrator) account, set up users and passwords, enter a hostname, choose the default text editor and login screen, select a timzone and install the bootloader.

CrunchBang++ Beta 02132015      

                    http://crunchbangplusplus.org/

CrunchBang++ is an open source and completely free computer operating system, designed as a continuation of the CrunchBang Linux distribution, based on newer Debian 8 (Jessie) packages and built around the minimal and lightweight Openbox window manager. CrunchBang++ is also known as CBPP or #!++ or CrunchBang Plus Plus.

Distributed as a 32-bit installable ISO image

Currently, the CrunchBang++ distribution is available for download as an installable ISO image that fits perfectly on a CD disc and includes software packages optimized only for computers supporting the 32-bit instruction set architecture. Of course, you can also use a USB thumb drive of 1GB or higher capacity to boot and install the operating system on your computer.

Installing CrunchBang++

CrunchBang++ is not a live system, so you will have to install it using either the graphical (recommended) or text-mode installers offered at boot. Basically, the user will only have to choose a language, select his/her current location, configure the keyboard, configure the network, set up users and passwords, configure the clock, partition the disk, configure the package manager, and install the bootloader.

The Chromixium OS is distributed as a Live DVD ISO image that has approximately 900 MB in size and contains software packages optimized only for the 32-bit instruction set architecture. The user can write the ISO image on a DVD disc or a USB thumb drive (recommended) in order to boot it from the BIOS of a computer.
Can be used in live mode or installed

The Chromixium Live DVD comes with a minimal boot menu, which includes the ability to start the live system with normal configuration, in safe graphics mode (in case your video card is not recongnized by the first boot option) or in debug more.
Uses a highly customized version of GNOME

The distro features a highly customized version of the GNOME graphical desktop environment, made to be identical in functionality, as well as look and feel with Chrome OS’ desktop interface. To achieve this, the developers used the Openbox window manager, Compton desktop compositor, Plank dock and LXPanel. By default, users will be dropped to a login screen where they have to use the “user” password (without quotes) to login.

                   Bridge Linux Xfce 2015.02´




                      http://millertechnologies.net/


Welcome to the Xfce edition of Bridge Linux, which is also the first Bridge Linux flavor that was ever created, based on the powerful Arch Linux operating system and built around the lightweight Xfce desktop environment.
Availability, supported architectures and boot options

Bridge Linux Xfce is available for download as Live DVD ISO images, supporting both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (i686) instruction set architectures. The user must burn these ISO images to blank DVD discs or write them to USB flash drives of 1GB or higher capacity in order to boot them from the BIOS of the PC.

The boot loader is identical with the ones of other Bridge Linux editions, enabling the user to start the live environment with default options or by forcing the VESA framebuffer and using the nomodeset option, in case the first boot entry won't recognize some devices. In addition, it is possible to start a memory test, view detailed information about your computer's hardware components, as well as to reboot or shutdown the computer.
Traditional and clean desktop environment with lightweight apps

The Xfce project is well know for offering a traditional and clean desktop environment to Linux-based operating systems no matter the package management used. It is a flexible graphical environment that can be blended in many ways, such as the two-panel layout provided in this distribution.
