Linux Mint 15 Olivia on Nvidia-ed laptop – Perfection?

June 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

We shall now commence the second review of Linux Mint 15 Olivia. In the first installment, we played with the distro on top of a T61 laptop, which comes with Intel graphics and two internal SSD. There were no cardinal issues, then again, neither there were any with Ubuntu, which later failed miserably when thrown against the HP machine and its Broadcom Wireless and Nvidia graphics.All this makes today’s effort all the more interesting. Especially since the behavior with other flavors of Ubuntu were not consistent. For example, I did not have any networking related problems with Kubuntu or Xubuntu. Likewise, the infamous kernel crashes only sporadically affected the latter. Nouveau was quiet on both, whereas it wrecked havoc on top of Unity. So with all these in mind, we begin the Cinnamon challenge [sic]. And remember, we will have a MATE review, all proper like, soon.

Best Newbie Distro? You Say Linux Mint.

June 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment

According to our “Newbie” Distro Poll, someone considering moving from Windows or Mac to Linux should consider taking Linux Mint for a spin. The poll asked the question, “What Linux distro would you be most likely to recommend to a new Linux user?” Evidently this was a subject that interested many of you, because a whopping 1,339 votes were cast in this poll, making it the most number of votes one of our polls has ever received.

Review: Linux Mint 15 “Olivia” Cinnamon + MATE

June 13, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Cinnamon is still too unstable, MATE seems to exhibit a little latency, and Compiz appears to be entirely out of whack.

Out test with Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Cinnamon edition

June 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The new version of Linux Mint has just been released. The developers have arrived at version 15, the nick name of this version is Olivia. A lot of the changes are specified in the release notes. Among the most striking a new managment for the proprietary drivers and the repository. Olivia is proving to be all that Linux Mint has tried to be since it was born. A stable operating system, elegant and easy to use. Rejecting the desktop environments of the latest Ubuntu and Fedora that have so divided the Gnu/Linux community, Linux Mint makes simplicity and comfort its true strength. If you want to find a downside, with Cinnamon the load times at startup are a bit slower than when we were using XFCE, but nothing to tear his hair. GNU/Linux has never been so beautiful.

How to change the search engines of Firefox in Linux Mint 15

June 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Firefox browser in Linux uses 2 search engines by default, DuckDuckGo in the address bar and Yahoo Search in the search bar. However, many people still prefer Google over these 2 search engines. One work-around method is to use “!g”, “!i” with DuckDuckGo to get the result from Google for normal searches and image searches. But if you still want to change the default search engines of Firefox in Linux Mint 15 to Google search, here is how to do so:

Y PPA Manager 0.9.9 Released With Support For Linux Mint 15 And Ubuntu 13.10 [Quick Update]

June 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Quick update: today I’ve released Y PPA Manager 0.9.9 with support for Linux Mint 15 Olivia as well as the latest Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander (currently under development).

For those not familiar with Y PPA Manager, this is a tool that lets you easily add, remove or purge PPAs as well as search for packages in Launchpad PPAs, a feature that should be very useful when you can’t find a PPA for your favourite app on WebUpd8 or other similar websites. Other features include:

  • list the packages available in a PPA added on your system;
  • download packages from PPAs without adding them;
  • PPAs backup / restore, along with all the PPA keys;
  • update single repositories using a command line tool (by the way, when you add a PPA using Y PPA Manager, it’s updated without updating all the software sources) called “update-ppa” – usage example: “sudo update-ppa ppa:webupd8team/java”;
  • some options that should help you re-enable the working PPAs when upgrading to a newer Ubuntu / Linux Mint version;
  • remove duplicate PPAs;
  • Unity quicklists / optional AppIndicator;
  • more.

A complete list of features can be found on Launchpad.

The Linux Mint 15 and Ubuntu 13.10 (useful even if you don’t use Saucy: you can search Launchpad for a certain package to see if it’s available in a PPA for Saucy) support are the only changes in this release. Because Linux Mint 15 ships with a custom “add-apt-repository” command, it took a bit more to get Y PPA Manager to work with it, but all should be working now. Even though Linux Mint 15 ships with a new Software Sources app which lets you easily add PPAs and so on, you should still find Y PPA Manager useful for its PPA search feature, among others.

You can submit feature requests or report bugs @ Launchpad.

Install Y PPA Manager in Ubuntu or Linux Mint

To add the Y PPA Manager PPA and install the application in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager
