Install / Update Mozilla Thunderbird 38.0.1 on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian 8 "jessie", Debian 7 "wheezy", Debian 6 "squeeze", Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora 22, Fedora21, Fedora 20, CentOS 7, CentOS 6, OpenSUSE 13.2, OpenSUSE 13.1, Mageia 5, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc
Thunderbird is a free email application that's easy to set up and customize - and it's loaded with great features!
Sending and receiving emails is like breathing these days, and you will need a reliable and extremely stable application to do it right. Mozilla Thunderbird is one of those rare applications that provides users with a feature-rich, easy to use and extendable email client. Besides begin an email client, the software is also a very good RSS news reader, as well as a newsgroup and chat client. It is supported and installed by default in many Linux operating systems.
Features at a glance
Among some of its major highlights, we can mention adaptive junk mail controls, saved search folders, global inbox support, message grouping, privacy protection, and comprehensive mail migration from other email clients.
Mozilla Thunderbird is designed to be very comprehensive. It will help users communicate better in an office space, allowing them to send, received emails, chat with their colleagues, and stay updated with the latest news.
Few know that the application provides users with a built-in web browser functionality, using a tabbed user interface and based on its bigger brother, the powerful Mozilla Firefox web explorer. Another interesting feature is the ability to add extensions, popularly known as add-ons, which will extended the default functionality of the application.
What New in Mozilla Thunderbird 38.0.1 :
- GMail supports OAuth2 authentication, removing the need to manually select "allow less secure applications" in Google options for the account.
- Ship Lightning calendar addon with Thunderbird and enable with an opt-out dialog
- Filter sent messages
- Filter messages when archived
- Enable search in multiple/all address books
- Add support for Yahoo Messenger in Chat
- Support Internationalized domain name URLs for RSS feeds
- Show expanded columns in folder pane
- Allow file-per-message (maildir) local message storage
- Add a Learn more link to the support page in feeds subscribe dialog
- Add reading position marker line to conversations
- The editor for twitter should show inputtable character count
Installation instructions:
Mozilla does not provide a repository for Thunderbird, but the installation steps are quite easy anyway and should not create difficulties on any Linux distribution.
The latest versions of Firefox are available as pre-compiled libraries via the Mozilla FTP, so we need to download the archive (i386 or i686 for 32 bit systems and amd64 or x86_64 for 64 bit systems), extract it and run the thunderbird file. Also, it is advised to remove previous versions of Thunderbird, move Thunderbird to /opt and create a symlink, for an easier usage.
The below instructions should work on all the popular Linux systems, including Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian 8 "jessie", Debian 7 "wheezy", Debian 6 "squeeze", Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora 22, Fedora21, Fedora 20, CentOS 7, CentOS 6, OpenSUSE 13.2, OpenSUSE 13.1, Mageia 5, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 352.21 is released, Install on Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, RHEL, Slackware and Arch Linux
Install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 352.21 on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Fedora 21, Fedora 20, Fedora 19, Fedora 18, OpenSuse 13.2, openSUSE 13.1, openSUSE 12.3, Debian 8 "jessie" (upcoming), Debian 7 "wheezy", Debian 6 "squeeze", RHEL, Slackware, CentOS 6, CentOS 7 and Arch Linux
Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware
Release highlights since 352.09:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
- Tesla K40t
- GeForce 720A
- GeForce 920A
- GeForce 930A
- GeForce 940A
- GeForce GTX 950A
- GeForce GTX 980 Ti
- Tesla K40t
- Added GLX Protocol support for the following OpenGL extensions:
- GL_ARB_copy_buffer
- GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
- GL_ARB_copy_buffer
- Fixed a bug that caused the Display Configuration page of the nvidia-settings control panel to automatically generate layouts with multiple displays occupying the same position when enabling or disabling Base Mosaic.
- Updated nvidia-settings to allow the use of the standard Display Configuration page when SLI Mosaic is enabled.
- Fixed a bug that caused the kernel to report errors when unmapping DMA allocations on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_DMA_API enabled.
- Fixed a bug that caused a kernel crash if SLI Mosaic and G-SYNC were used at the same time on a configuration with more display devices connected to one GPU than another.
- Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused the application to crash when saving the EDID to a file.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the "mkprecompiled" utility included in the driver package from reading files correctly.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video playback application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
- Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing too deeply into kernel source trees under /usr/lib/modules, mirroring an existing restriction on recursion under /lib/modules.
In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.
All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

Unknown Horizons 2014.1 is out, you can install/Update on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Ubuntu 13.10/13.04/12.04, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna, Peppermint Five, Deepin 2014, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Linux Lite 2.2 and other Ubuntu derivative systems via PPA
Unknown Horizons is a 2D realtime strategy simulation with an emphasis on economy and city building. Expand your small settlement to a strong and wealthy colony, collect taxes and supply your inhabitants with valuable goods. Increase your power with a well balanced economy and with strategic trade and diplomacy.
What New in Unknown Horizons Release 2014.1
- Only expand settlement range for certain buildings
- Color overlays (if running with FIFE 0.3.6 or newer)
- Armory producing weapons
- Button to fill lumberjack range with trees
- Fixed some bad bugs causing the game to crash completely
- Lots of other improvements
- See changelog for more details about new features, improvements and fixed bugs & crashes
All in all, the new release Unknown Horizons 2014.1 provides a more stable gaming experience with new content and a bit of eye candy added as well. As some of you may have noticed already, there are several big changes happening around our engine FIFE right now. As a result of this, some new features (like the color overlays spotlighted above) are only available after a new engine release, or if you’re running a development snapshot. There is more work ahead to fully adopt our code to more of those changes, like replacing the currently used guichan library with its FIFE-maintained improved fork fifechan. Look forward to advanced text styling, many new cool widgets (e.g. for in-game statistics) and full UTF-8 support.

# cave resolve plasma*
Fedora
We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository. (Please note that these packages replace Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces cannot be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)
Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the plasma-5 meta-package, which will install all needed packages.
# wget http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/repo/fedora-20/dvratil-plasma-5-fedora-20.repoOn Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21.
# yum install plasma5
If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run
dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository.
dnf install plasma5
For all those who want to try out Plasma 5 without affecting their existing Plasma 4 installation, we also provide an x86_64 live image with Plasma 5 based on Fedora 20: http://pub.dvratil.cz/plasma/iso/5.1/.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.
Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.
Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system. This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64-bit architecture. For 32-bit support, see this link. It is a native Linux driver that provides users with only a command-line installer, as well as a settings panel. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.
What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 346.72:
- Fixed a bug causing loss of stereo synchronization in certain Quadro Sync framelock configurations.
- Fixed Pixel Buffer Object operations when row length is less than width. GL_[UN]PACK_ROW_LENGTH can be set to a value lower than the width of the operation being carried out. The OpenGL specification allows for this (the source or destination lines will be overlapping). Previously, our implementation of Pixel Buffer Objects did not support this case and would throw an error.
- Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that use OpenGL in multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.
What Nvidia graphics cards are supported by this driver?
Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.
How to Download and Install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72
to install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:Download for Linux 32 bit :
$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/346.72/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-346.72.runDownload for Linux 64 bit :
$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.72/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72.runHow do I install the Nvidia graphics driver?
In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux box, you will have to first download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the run file on your Home directory, open a TTY and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run” command (without quotes), as root (with sudo), where xxx.xx is the version number.
Keep in mind though, that you will have to install the Linux kernel header packages first! During the installation, you will be asked if you want to manually edit the X configuration file or let the installer do all the hard work. Alternatively, it is possible to automatically configure it by running the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux terminal emulator after the installation.
Enjoy! I hope this article adding you more clarity.
