Google Web Designer Available For Linux

Google Web Designer, a tool developed by Google which is currently in beta, is finally available for Linux. The following Linux distributions are currently supported: Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE and Fedora.


Google Web Designer is a program for creating interactive HTML5 websites and ads for any device. Using it, you can create content using drawing tools, text, 3D objects, add animations and Google Fonts directly from the Google Web Designer interface and more. The tool "outputs clean human-readable HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript".

The application comes with a repository so, like with the other Google products for Linux, you'll get automatic updates when new versions are available.

Unfortunately, Google Web Designer doesn't integrate with Unity's global menu for now. Other than that, the application worked great in my test under Ubuntu 14.04.

Update: some users have reported that Google Web Designer doesn't work on non-English systems. If that's the case for you, here's a work-around. Firstly remove its folder under ~/.local/share/:
rm -r ~/.local/share/google-web-designer
And then start Google Web Designer using the following command:
LANGUAGE=en_US google-webdesigner


Arch Linux users can get Google Web Designer via AUR.

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

  • Added GLX Protocol support for the following OpenGL extensions:
    • GL_ARB_copy_buffer
    • GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object

  • 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.
Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

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.

Google Chrome, or Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.


A unique functionality of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed, from any new tab. - See more at: http://media-opensource.blogspot.com/2015/01/google-chrome-390217199-400221485-beta.html#sthash.QyDAwU7o.dpuf

Suricata 2.0.6 released, Available for Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Slackware, Devbian, Linux Mint, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and Windows




Suricata 2.0.6 released, Available for Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Slackware, Devbian, Linux Mint, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and Windows

Suricata is a high performance Network IDS, IPS and Network Security Monitoring engine. Open Source and owned by a community run non-profit foundation, the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF). Suricata is developed by the OISF and its supporting vendors.

Suricata is without no doubt the best IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) software ever built, powered only by open source technologies.

What's New in This Release:
  • Bug #1364: evasion issues
  • Bug #1337: output-json: duplicate logging
  • Bug #1325: tls detection leads to tcp stream reassembly sequence gaps (IPS)
  • Bug #1192: Suricata does not compile on OS X/Clang due to redefinition of string functions
  • Bug #1183: pcap: cppcheck warning


1. Highly Scalable

Suricata is multi threaded. This means you can run one instance and it will balance the load of processing across every processor on a sensor Suricata is configured to use. This allows commodity hardware to achieve 10 gigabit speeds on real life traffic without sacrificing ruleset coverage.

2. Protocol Identification

The most common protocols are automatically recognized by Suricata as the stream starts, thus allowing rule writers to write a rule to the protocol, not to the port expected. This makes Suricata a Malware Command and Control Channel hunter like no other. Off port HTTP CnC channels, which normally slide right by most IDS systems, are child’s play for Suricata! Furthermore, thanks to dedicated keywords you can match on protocol fields which range from http URI to a SSL certificate identifier.

3. File Identification, MD5 Checksums, and File Extraction

Suricata can identify thousands of file types while crossing your network! Not only can you identify it, but should you decide you want to look at it further you can tag it for extraction and the file will be written to disk with a meta data file describing the capture situation and flow. The file’s MD5 checksum is calculated on the fly, so if you have a list of md5 hashes you want to keep in your network, or want to keep out, Suricata can find it.

Suricata has many more great features, and we hope you give it a run. It’s free, it’s fast, and it’s going to be here long term!

Suricata 2.0.6 released, Available for Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Slackware, Devbian, Linux Mint, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and Windows

to installation Suricata 2.0.6 stable 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, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oisf/suricata-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then you can install the latest stable Suricata with:

Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202 released, you can install on OpenSUSE, Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva and RHEL


Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202 released, you can install on OpenSUSE 13.2/13.1, Fedora 20/21, CentOS 5/6/7 and RHEL

Adobe Flash Player is a proprietary (closed source) and freeware web browser plugin designed to allow users to enjoy rich multimedia and Internet applications powered by the Flash technology.

Supports popular web browsers

Initially developed by the American Macromedia web development software company, the project was previously known as Macromedia Flash. These days it is actively developed by the Adobe Systems and Microsoft Corporation.

It is basically a simple library, a plugin for several well known web browsers, including the powerful Mozilla Firefox application, supporting playback of audio and video streams, as well as to view Flash websites and interact with rich Internet apps.

Supported operating systems

The plugin is known to work on Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, supporting the Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera web browsers.

Chances are that Adobe Flash Player will soon be deprecated in favor of the modern HTML5 web technology that is already used on well known multimedia hosting and streaming websites, such as Google’s YouTube.


What's new in Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.356:
These updates resolve a buffer overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0515).

The program offers support for the OpenRaster file format, which means that it’s fully compatible with other open source painting/drawing applications, such as GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), Krita and MyPaint.

Another interesting feature is the ability to record drawing sessions, which can be played back a later time for research purposes. Each recording can be modified by removing individual events, undone actions or pauses. Playback capabilities including skipping forward or backward, as well as bookmarking.

Among other interesting features, we can mention support for adjusting brush parameters, support for pressure sensitive Wacom tablets, support for simulating pen pressure based on velocity and stroke distance, support for multiple layers, and support for adjusting layer parameters, such as blending mode and transparency.
This release fixes two major bugs discovered in the previous version:
  • The remote host selection dropdown would not work correctly if it contained more than one address
  • Drawpile would crash when reordering layers in certain circumstances
Additionally, this release adds one very interesting new feature: lag-free painting in network mode. Previously, network latency was hidden (with varying success) by painting to a temporary layer while the drawing commands were making their way to the server and back. This worked OK for the basic brushes, but poorly with certain blending modes and not at all with the new Watercolor brush.

The new version now lets local drawing happen immediately without waiting for the commands to finish their roundtrip. Of course, this open up the chance that brush strokes get applied in different order on different computers. This is where the new synchronization method comes in: when an inconsistency is detected (we draw something, but later find out someone else had drawn in the same spot earlier) the program will automatically undo the actions and then redo them in the correct order! In practice, this should happen very rarely, so this new method should actually be more efficient than the old preview based one. Those interested in the technical details can read more here.

DrawPile 0.9.7 released, Available for Download (Mac OS X, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Arch Linux) :

MKVToolnix 7.6.0 is out, The ultimate MKV (Matroska) manipulation software for Linux-based operating systems


MKVToolnix 7.6.0 is out, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Arch Linux, CentOS, Fedora, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva, Slackware, Windows and Zenwalk


MKVToolnix is an open source set of command-line and graphical utilities that empower users to extract streams from MKV files, display information about MKV files, merge several MKV streams into one, and split Matroska media files. The resulting files from MKVToolnix can be played back with various media players on Linux/UNIX, or with the Matroska Direct Show filters under Windows operating systems.

Supports a wide range of audio and subtitle formats

In addition, the mkvextract program can be used to extract audio, subtitle and video tracks, chapters, tags, CUE sheets, attachments and timecodes from Matroska files. At the moment, it supports the following track types: H.264/AVC, RealVideo, Theora, VP8/VP9, MP2, MP3, AC3, raw PCM, AAC, OGG Vorbis, TrueAudio, ALAC, FLAC, WavPack, Opus, SSA, ASS, Kate, VobSub, and USF.

Edit the properties of MKV files or view detailed information

The mkvinfo program is capable of displaying detailed information about all the elements that are included in a Matroska file. It outputs a list of tracks and provides information about the codecs used in them.

Advanced users can use the mkvpropedit tool to edit the properties of a MKV file without a complete remux. There’s also a GUI front-end for the mkvextract tool, called mmg, designed to used for editing a chapters and headers.

Supported operating systems

MKVToolnix is a platform-independent project that supports Linux (Gentoo, Arch Linux, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware, Zenwalk), BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD), Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems.


What's new in MKVToolnix 7.6.0:
  • all programs: bug fix: Since release 7.0.0 the wrong exit code was used when warnings were finished (0 instead of 1). Fixes #1101.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending chapters with the same chapter UID was dropping all sub-chapters from the one of the two merged chapters. Now the sub-chapters are merged recursively as well.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: The wrong Codec ID was written when reading PCM tracks from Matroska files in Big Endian byte order. Fixes #1113.
  • all: new feature: added a Serbian (Latin) translation of the programs by Danko (see AUTHORS).
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active and AC3 tracks read from Matroska files were shorter than a split point then the following output file would contain an AC3 packet with the timecode of 00:00:00 somewhere in the middle. Fixes #1104.
  • mmg: bug fix: If a chapter track from a Matroska file is selected then the »language« drop-down box is disabled. Fixes #1105.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: On Windows the end-of-file-reached status wasn't tracked correctly for certain file operations. This could manifest in e.g. mkvmerge not finding tracks in MPEG transport streams when probing MPLS playlist files. Fixes #1100.
  • mmg: bug fix: When scanning for play lists the window presenting the results listed some properties in an unescaped way (e.g. »\s« instead of spaces).
  • mmg: bug fix: When adding MPLS files mmg was only offering to scan for more playlists if there were at least two additional MPLS files present. This has been fixed to one MPLS file (in addition to the one just added).
