In The Press

  • First Impressions: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, aka version 7.10, due to release next month. I tend to pull down a beta of new Ubuntu releases about a month before their final release, because by that time most of the major bugs have been worked out, and as updated packages stream down from day to day, it's kind of fun to see the finishing touches get put on the OS. I'm already loving Gutsy because it works properly on my laptop, a Think Pad X31 that is showing some signs of age but still gets the job done. The previous Ubuntu incarnation, Feisty Fawn, released last spring, refused to play nice on this Think Pad: Suspend and hibernate functions didn't work (or, more precisely, they worked, but resuming from those states did not). Gutsy has banished those bugs, and it brings me a wealth of new features besides, arriving as it does with version 2.20 of the Gnome desktop environment--the interface that gives you your start menu and your taskbar and your window dressings and everything else that makes up the look and feel of the system, plus some powerful default apps as well. In Gnome 2.20, I can--at long last--drag and drop files out of zip and tarball archives. And thus one of my wishes for 2007 has been granted. The e-mail client, Evolution, has a cool new feature (suppressible with one click; quit your whining) that harangues you when you seem to be forgetting an intended attachment. Several disparate applets in the Gnome Control Panel have been brought together in the new Appearance applet, too. Totem, the media player, has much improved automatic codec downloading and installation. (The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, the most powerful tech journalist on the planet, recently criticized this feature for referring to codec packs that are "bad" and "ugly," but he failed to note that the feature works perfectly for a wide variety of media types, and that nothing like it exists on Windows or the Mac.) The power manager icon on my Gnome panel now provides a constant, dependable approximation of how much battery life is left, and even tells me if my creaky old battery is shot. Gutsy includes other niceties that are unrelated to the new Gnome release. When Firefox encounters a media type it doesn't know how to handle, it now uses the system's package-management tools to locate, download, and install the Ubuntu package for the necessary browser plug-in, all automatically. A PDF-generating virtual printer lets you easily produce PDF files from any application that can print. A new, friendly tool helps with graphics-card and monitor setup. The Tracker desktop-search tool is now installed and enabled by default, as are snazzy desktop effects (windows that fade in and out, Exposé-like task switching) driven by Compiz. Gutsy is still a beta, so I render no final conclusions about it here; I will say, though, that I like the changes I see, and I'm hungry for more.http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,137663-c,linux/article.html

  • Review of Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) new features and changes (From: Tolero’s tech notes)
    • Some little sweets - Startup and shutdown screens won’t blink any more, so no more watching of a boring black screen even for a second. Desktop theme received some minor updates: some pixels changed at the mouse cursors to make them more eye pleasant. Evolution is now displaying popup at the tray in case of a message arrival. In the file manager an image thumbnails will be automatically rotated if they were taken with a camera. Buttons of the ‘windows list’ applet in Ubuntu 7.10 will stay they original size despite a change of a window title, for example in case of web browser tab change. The very impressive Deskbar applet is initially activated. Microsoft ntfs file system support should be available for reading and writing by default (by ntfs-3g driver using FUSE). Additional set of utilities for manipulation with ntfs partitions such as format, resize, undelete and etc. is accessible via ‘ntfsprogs’ package.
    • Compiz Fusion - Desktop Effects - Yes, it is finally happened - the Compiz Fusion is now enabled by default on all supporting platforms in Ubuntu 7.10 release! That is the most awaited feature since the first announcement of the technology. Now it is labeled as stable, and is believed to work fine just out of the box, or after a proper drivers configuration, which in my case was a simple activation of a checkbox in the ‘Restricted Drivers Manager’ tool and reboot of the computer . There is a three pre-configured levels of special effects settings: ‘No effects’, ‘Normal effects’ and ‘Extra effects’. You can select one of them at the ‘Appearance’ dialog in the ‘Preferences’ group of the ‘System’ menu. To get additional interface with a much greater tweaking possibilities, you have to install a ‘compizconfig-settings-manager’ package, which is located in the ‘universe’ repository. This will bring ‘Advanced Desktop Effects Settings’ interface at the same place in the ‘System’ menu.
    • Screen, Graphics and Driver Preferences - The much complained necessity of a manual video configuration through the ‘xorg.cfg’ file is no longer a mandatory. Since the Ubuntu gutsy there is a way to set most necessary properties through a user friendly interface. These options include video card driver, screen resolution, frequency and type settings. And the best thing is that no more need to restart the X server (no reboot or even logout) to test and apply changes. Moreover, there is a two kind of configuration: one is for a whole system and the second is for individual user which requires no administrative priviledges. In addition to graphical configuration, there is a ordinance of ‘bullet proof X‘. This means that user should always get to X session, even if there is some bad luck with a driver configuration. System initially will try to set X with a settings from the ‘xorg.cfg’ file. In case of a bad luck it will try to init a reduced VESA mode in 800×600 by 256 colors or VGA 640×480 by 16 colors for the next try within a solo X configuration application mode. Read more about BulletProofX in Ubuntu gutsy.
    • Desktop search - The Tracker is a new desktop search engine is now with Ubuntu gutsy. It is installed by default instead of the Beagle. The Tracker is an indexing search engine and is written in a plain C. That should decrease a level of dependencies and increase a speed of content indexing. There is a interface named ‘Tracker Search Tool’ which represents a navigation over the indexed content, displaying additional information about each indexed entry. ‘Open file’ dialog received a search field, which also performs a search over a Tracker index, and is available in a Gtk based applications like the gedit, the Open Office and the Gimp. The old issue of an unexpected system failure to start a normal graphical session when disk space is full, has finally got a workaround. User will receive a warning message and a possibility to do some space cleanup at the startup.
    • Printing service changes - The previous versions of Ubuntu are know for bringing nice and user friendly printer setup interface, which is much more pleasant than the original Cups one in a plain html. The distribution development team made a major step forward in Ubuntu 7.10 with a detection of a hotplugged USB printers. The system will setup a newly plugged printer automatically, and it will be ready to accept jobs. Another great stuff is a shipped virtual PDF printer. It makes possible to generate a PDF documents from all non Gnome applications like a Firefox, Gimp, Rhythmbox and other.
    • Free flash player - The Ubuntu 7.10 gets gnash - a free and open source version of the flash player. I’ve started using it since the early summer of 2007, and it showed a nice ability to play youtube videos and some banners. It would also be a choice for whom a closed source Adobe Flash Player made the browser to hang. Since testing it for a several months, it has never made my browser to halt even for a second. But disappointment came since middle of the September, when youtube made some updates and gnash lost his ability to play video. Waiting with a hope for a soon update of the player…
    • Firefox - A third (currently alpha) version of the Firefox browser named ‘Gran Paradiso’ is included into the ‘universe’ repository. If installed, it will settle aside of the stable application, even using own settings directory at the home folder. Thanks to a numerous efforts from the developers, browser promises to be less heavy in memory than its predecessor version, and especially if you’re running it for a long time. Web services now can be used as a handlers for different file types. For example, in the stable version of a browser, web handler can be associated for only a one file type - RSS news subscription. This feature will provide a possibility for the sites to register handlers for a types other than RSS. In addition, the new type handling configuration system will be provided. Download manager will be reworked in terms of interface and bonus functionality such as interoperability with virus and malware scanners. Also will be added a possibility to resume an incomplete downloads even if the browser has been reopened. Identity manager will ask to save a password after the user will be sure of a successful login try. Many changes are coming to ‘Bookmarks’ handling. The some of them are: ability to sync stored links to a web service like the del.icio.us; protection against bookmarks lost; the easy way to export bookmarks; performance improvements. Browser will get an ability to track individual site settings, like a font zoom. Refer to the ‘Firefox 3 Requirements Document ‘ for an ongoing progress. A stable version a browser also got improvement. And this time it is a distribution specific support for automated plugin installation through a package manager. For example, when web page will require a flash player, Firefox window with a suitable plugins list will contain a two options: the Gnash Flash Player and the Adobe Flash Player, both of them will be installed using a package manager (the last one will additionally perform a download from an Adobe site). That is first time the ability to install a flash player came by a proper way in a comfortable manner.
    • Gimp 2.4 - So long awaited version update of the Gimp is now available at the Ubuntu gutsy. The icons set has been totally changed, to became better looking with a different Gnome themes and even with a Kde and Xfce desktop environments. All types of brushes are now scalable, including bitmapped and tubed kinds. Completely rewritten selection tool brings such stuff as rounded rectangular selector, resizing of existing selections, and a simplified using of curved selection. The new ‘foreground select tool’ makes it possible to identify object edges by mapping it surrounding background area, which leads you to the perfectly selected object. Some improvements been done for a better handling of alternative file formats, such as Adobe Photoshop PSD, and Vista icons.
    • Open Office 2.3 - Almost half a year passed since 2.2 release of the Open Office suit. The new 2.3 version is now out and shipped with the Ubuntu gutsy. The most significant update touched a diagrams module: from the new Diagram Master to a flexible selection of the axis parameters and the data sources. Writer got an ability to export into a Media Wiki format. Calc menus and dialogs were touched for a better fill and the support of external file formats received an enhancement. Much speed improvement of the Impress, presentation building instrument.
    • The kernel and the basics - Ubuntu gutsy steps forward by two versions of the Linux kernel, from 2.6.20 on to 2.6.22. One of the significant improvements is the ‘tickless’ idle loop which unifies the timer handling and makes the kernel more power efficient. That is a measurable for a notebook owners because it can reduce a power consumption up to 25%. Improved ‘Virtual Machine Interface’ makes paravirtualization better (in future) when running under supporting it hypervisors like Xen and Vmware. A completely new ‘Wireless Stack’ and ‘Fire Wire stack’ are now in the kernel, bringing new compatibilities and drivers, and losing some old because of the portability issue. Check the ‘Linux Kernel Newbies’ articles for additional information about 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 versions. In addition to “vanilla” updates, there is a collaboration between the Canonical and the Intel. The goals are to made a distribution much more efficient in terms of a processor usage. Intel’s Power Top utility is used to track a glitches in a software and to help to made patches to reduce a power consumption. As the Intel’s leading software engineer Arjan Van de ven said, they already made a numerous amount of patches and expect a half of them to be in use at the upcoming Ubuntu gutsy. The test run of such patches on the Think Pad T61 showed a reduce of a power hungry from 23.3 watts on the ’standard install’ to 15.6 on optimized, what is as much as 33%. However it is not clear, what is the ’standard install’ exactly and how resulting 33% efficiency intersects with kernel ‘tickless’ improvement.

    • Conclusion - As always, new version of Ubuntu is better than previous. But probably this version did the most powerful step forward than any other. I will strongly recommend my friend, who is using another operating system, to settle on the Ubuntu gutsy now, because most of the major barriers for newbies are gone. During testing run of the gutsy I have met only one confusing case. It was during installation of updates, when Update manager opened a terminal emulator frame. It was unclear even to me, what should I do next: just wait, because it was just an information message or type something in. In reality, I have simply to hit the ‘Enter’ button. http://tech.tolero.org/blog/en/linux/review-ubuntu-710-gutsy-features-changes

In The Blogosphere

  • Ubuntu Desktop not used in business - I got a telling reponse from Canonical when I approached its Public Relations team looking for case studies of businesses that had switched from Windows: … we find that the businesses using Ubuntu tend to use the server edition right now and so a windows comparison is not relevant. Ubuntu desktop is largely in the consumer space not business. It hardly comes as a surprise to discover that most businesses use Windows, but I did think there would be a few examples. I’ve been running Ubuntu, mainly on my laptop, and find it perfectly solid and useable. In fact, it is possibly better suited for business than for consumers. The problem with Linux is that you always seem to run into one or two problems that require intricate, non-obvious steps to resolve. I don’t mean to minimize the problems facing anyone switching to Linux. In the business world, that includes custom or niche software that is likely to be Windows-only. Every small business I encounter seems to have an Access or VB application that has become business-critical. Another snag is doing without Microsoft Office. Yes, Microsoft Office is over-priced (unless you are a home or academic user), but it is on the whole better to work with than Open Office. Another factor, under-appreciated by the media, is that Windows has a mature and very comprehensive administrative infrastructure for managing any number of desktops. For larger organizations this makes Windows the obvious choice. I am hoping that someone will read this blog and say, “this is nonsense, we use Ubuntu in business”. Comments below.
    • “This is nonsense, we use Ubuntu in business”. Let’s check in 5 points why we are happy with our Ubuntu. 1) Applications: We use Evolution, Open Office, The Gimp, Pidgin [MSN and QQ protocols], scanning, printing, ftpeing, etc. Everything is working nicely and set up is easy. Our staffs is happy with the softwares and we don’t have problems of cross-exchange with our customers. 2) Languages: These 3 companies are made of chinese and french folks. We need to have systems running in french for the frenchies, in chinese for the chineses and in english because sometimes internal communication is in english. Setting up 3 languages machine, plus Chinese input, as well as dictionnaries and translating tool are made easy with tools like scim, stardict, gtranslate, etc. 3) Security: With a lot of staff, surfing a lot the chinese web and not very verse in security, it’s a peace of mind for the IT administrator of these 3 companies [me only as a matter of fact]. No virus, no trojan, no software/bullshit which is going to put the system in jeopardy. 4) Information: It’s actually very easy to find answers to any questions you have about your system, and in many languages! 5) Legal: Ok, i live in the country of the fake, I never found a place where to buy a genuine copy of windows XP for instance. [Hangzhou small chinese village of 6 millions unhabitants…]. But it’s nice to feel that we are certainly the only companies around with legal licenses for each softwares of each of our computers. Let’s check one point why we are happy with our Windows. 1) Applications: We sometimes lack of software like Auto Cad for opening .dwg files, our suppliers get use to it now and send us files for our system to understand. are always sending nice files for us. That’s it, the balance is clearly on the open source. We might be small companies, but we having challenges that a Ubuntu system can face easier that a Windows system. Michaël Bannier

    • This is nonsense. I have 2 customers that use Ubuntu as business desktop OSs. They are small, but still businesses. One has 4 Ubuntu desktops (and 2 windows desktops) and the other has about 8 ubuntu desktops and 1 windows desktop. And of course, there is our business - we have 4 ubuntu desktops, 4-5 ubuntu laptops, one OS X macboo and one Windows desktop PC. So there are 3 businesses right there. Oh, and all 3 use Ubuntu server along with many more of our customers using Ubuntu Server with all windows desktop environments. The difficulty we have with Ubuntu is management. While it is easier to remotely manage at the OS level, it’s more difficult to troubleshoot user level problems (printing and scanning being the most difficult). My biggest hangup with Ubuntu is that, while it requires much less support effort than windows, the issues are usually more difficult to resolve. This is mostly because the issue is caused by incompatibilities between versions of programs or because the capability just does work - ie buggy. Windows tends to be the Devil we know. So I prefer to support Window for our customers. Ubuntu is fine for us because we know enough to A) fix issues when they come up or Awesome! B) are seasoned enough to know not to bother - ie: network scanning with certain MFCs that works in such a way that it’s actually useful. shankwc

    • For once I saw something that is truth about linux in a blog. My organization cannot switch to ubuntu or any other linux distro because of the problems you have identified. Someone has to fix them if they want linux to challenge the windows (rather MS) monopoly. We once planned (discussed) to shift to redhat at that time i was in a very small but highly technical organization with less than 40 employees (all software dudes or engineers). But we saw that we cannot live without MS-Office, some nice interface drivers available for Windows and that are supported and work the way they are intended to. We were having no problem with the network, in fact the server had never crashed for past 8 years. they brought it down only once when they wanted to upgrade it from NT4.0 to 2000. Someone might argue that we are stuck with MS due to data freedom issue, but that is not the case. I dont blame MS for that. Anyways to cut short, its not the OS that matters, its the whole environment that shapes the market. MS environment is more mature and apart from their OS their products are more stable (ref to MS office compared to open office). btw, we at the university (am now doing phd) use ubuntu, but only at CS department. All other departments use windows because of non-trivial problems faced by newbie. Kewl Dude
    • We tried, gave up and moved back to Ubuntu. We are a small IT consultancy firm and provide solutions mainly on Linux but had been using Windows internally. We tried to push Linux on the desktop internally but failed initially with Fedora 4. We gave up and used Windows for a year or so. Recently we installed Ubuntu 7.04 for one of the developers when he was complaining of Virus/Worm issues and after seeing his hassle free desktop and the breadth of other applications, the rest of the employees actually came up and requested Ubuntu including all departments. Our infrastructure costs have come down dramatically. The only place we find problems are when people send us doc/docx documents. We are requesting them to send PDFs and things are running smoothly. In spite of having been a Linxu advocate in the server space, Ubuntu 7.04 is the first distro which seems to come even close on the desktop. K. C. Ramakrishna
    • “This is nonsense, we use Ubuntu in business” Actually we use Kubuntu on all our machines at My Game Company. We do e-mail, software development, web site development and publishing, artwork, order fulfillment, finances, and all of our back end work on Kubuntu. We use Firefox for internet access, Thunderbird for our e-mail client, Spam Assassin for our spam filtering, GIMP for most of our game art, SoniK for audio editing, gftp for FTP, and Cross Over Linux for all the Windows applications we need (including Office 2000, Frontpage 2000, Quicken, Corel Photopaint 8, and Feed For All). For development, we use makefiles to build, nedit for our code editor, ddd for our debugger, and Bitrock for our installers. We have also been helping beta test the upcoming Linux version of gDEBugger for OpenGL profiling. We only use Windows and Mac when we have to port and test our games. We’ve been very happy with Kubuntu since we switched a year and a half ago. The file system is so much faster than Windows, and the machines are much more responsive. It is also very stable. The Windows apps run very well under Cross Over Linux, and in fact some of them start up faster on Kubuntu than they do on the same machine running Windows XP (my machine has swappable hard drives with different operating systems on various drives). We’ve had no problems with viruses, spyware, or adware. It has been a very satisfying experience, and we have no intention of ever going back to Windows. Troy Hepfner

    • As the PR guy who wrote the quote, albeit in a rushed email exchange not an official statement, let me complete the context. The vast majority of Ubuntu users are individuals using it either at home or at work. We see Ubuntu on desktops in thousands of companies across the world but that is different to being standardised as the desktop solution in these companies. As the IBM guy above says “we have guys running Ubuntu” but are IBM an official reference for Ubuntu? Sadly, no. So, ill-chosen words. For consumer read individual. I would appeal to readers who are using Ubuntu to tell us and let us use them as case studies to encourage others and to give to people like Tim as examples of businesses running Ubuntu. Consider buying support to resolve any issues - Landscape is designed to manage multiple deployments and is free with support contracts. Contribute, in short, and help us as we continue to invest to resolve the remaining issues on the way to widespread adoption in businesses.
