Unknown Horizons 2014.1 is out, you can install/Update on Ubuntu and Linux Mint via PPA


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.

Full Plasma 5.2.2 changelog

A beautiful, modern and traditional desktop environment

It combines ease-of-use, superior graphical design and powerful functionality with the unique features and architecture of the Linux operating system. It’s comprised of the KDE Plasma Workspaces and KDE Applications components.

Additionally, it contains extra add-on for the panel and desktop, a download manager, an instant messenger, an addressbook, a document viewer, a multimedia layer called Phonon (similar to GStreamer on GNOME), and accessibility functionality, such as a powerful text-to-speech system.

How to Install, update or Upgrade KDE Plasma 5.2.2 on Arch Linux, Exherbo Linux, Fedora 20, 21, 22, Gentoo Linux, Kubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.05, openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, Slackware and ROSA :


Arch Linux
Plasma Next packages are available in the [extra] repository. To install it run:a
# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma-meta
or
# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma

Exherbo Linux
We currently provide Plasma 5 packages in the kde repository. They can easily be installed with the help of the plasma set:
# 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.repo
# yum install plasma5
On Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21.

If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run
dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5
dnf install plasma5
Plasma 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.

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/

Gentoo Linux
Plasma 5 packages are currently in the KDE overlay. For more information please visit the Gentoo wiki
 
Kubuntu
Packages for Kubuntu Utopic Next and Next backports PPAs for Utopic (14.10) are now deprecated.
To test upgrade to Vivid, please use the PPA-purge package to remove those PPAs and packages, and then install `kubuntu-desktop` meta-package, and finally:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
before initiating:
sudo kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade
to move to Vivid beta. Full instructions to upgrade from 14.10.
Live Image of Kubuntu Vivid with Packages from Git The Weekly Live Image, updated every Friday with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB disk. Based on Kubuntu 15.04, Vivid.

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.run
Download for Linux 64 bit :
$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.72/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72.run
How 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.
