PPA Updates: Atraci 0.6.0, Atom 0.123.0, Brackets 0.42, GPaste 3.10.3 And 3.12.2, Minitube 2.2, Oracle JDK 7u67 And More
As you might have noticed, I was on holiday* until today and because of that, there were no new articles on failsdownloads and no updates for the failsdownloads PPAs. Today I updated the PPA packages for most applications that had a new release while I was away, and to speed things up, below you'll find a quick list with what was updated / what's new.
Notes:
- there are no installation instructions in the article for the apps below. Instead, you'll find links to articles explaining how to install those applications in Ubuntu / Linux Mint.
- as a reminder, only Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 are still supported by Canonical (and of course, 14.10, which is currently under development) / Linux Mint 17 Qiana and Linux Mint 13 Maya. Launchpad PPAs don't support other Ubuntu / Linux Mint releases any more.
That said, let's proceed with the updates.
Atom 0.123.0, an open source "hackable text editor for the 21st Century" developed by GitHub, which is currently in beta:
- The maximized state of the window is now properly restored on launch;
- The language-mustache package is now bundled by default;
- Added a button to the Incompatible Packages view that reloads Atom and rechecks all the installed packages for compatibility. This is also available from the command palette;
- Atom's Chrome version has been upgraded from 31 to 36;
- Atom's Node version has been upgraded from 0.11.10 to 0.11.13;
- Support for number pad keybindings have been removed. Number pad keys will now resolve to their equivalent keystroke as if they were pressed on the main keyboard area. You should remove the num- modifier from any keystrokes in your ~/.atom/keymap.cson file;
- Fixed an issue on Linux where tabs could not be dragged between windows;
- You can now delete a bracket and its matching pair at the same time using ctrl-backspace on Mac and alt-ctrl-backspace on Linux and Windows;
- ctrl-shift-Z is now mapped to core:redo on Linux;
- Atom now ships with a light version of the Base16 Tomorrow syntax theme;
- Added a bunch of new Go snippets;
- Many other new features and bug fixes, check the changelog below for details.

Brackets 0.42, an open-source code editor for web design and development built on top of web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript:
- Theme support: Brackets now has built-in support for editor themes, and includes default light and dark themes. Additional themes can be installed via Extension Manager;
- Replace in Files: Check/Uncheck All Matches for a File: When doing a batch or multi-file replace, you can now check/uncheck the matches for an entire file;
- Change Language Mode: Change the language mode for an individual file by selecting the language from the dropdown menu in the status bar
- Turn off Code Hints: New preferences to disable all code hints or hints from an individual provider;
- Drag and Drop Installation of Extensions: Install extensions by dragging zip files onto the Extension Manager dialog.

GPaste 3.12.2 (for GNOME 3.12 / Ubuntu 14.10 only) and 3.10.3 (for GNOME 3.10 / Ubuntu 14.04), a clipboard manager which was initially created for GNOME Shell, but which now also ships with an Ubuntu AppIndicator:

Changelog not available | Article on failsdownloads
Oracle JDK 7u67: according to the release notes, this update includes only a bug fix for a regression - java_arguments not accepted after update to 7u65.
Changelog | Article on failsdownloads: Install Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu via PPA Repository
Y PPA Manager 2014.08.18: the search feature stopped working while I was on holiday due to a change in Launchpad.net's code. This issue was fixed with the update released today.
No changelog available | Article on failsdownloads
Other packages from the failsdownloads PPAs updated today include: FreshPlayer Plugin (Git pull), Tor Browser 3.6.4, KKEdit 0.2.2, Wimlib 1.7.1 and youtube-dl 2014.08.10.
* In case you're wondering why I didn't announce that I'm on holiday well, that's because I did that a while back and the website was filled with spam comments and also, the number of attempts to hack my online accounts increased considerably. That's why I stopped announcing it publicly. Sorry about that!

Oracle Java PPA Updated With ARM Support

Starting today, both Oracle Java 7 and Java 8 (JDK) installers available in the failsdownloads Java PPA support ARM.
Oracle Java 7 supports ARM v6/v7 Hard Float and Soft Float ABI while Oracle Java 8 only supports ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI (there's no JDK 8 ARM Soft Float ABI archive available for download on Oracle's website).
Currently, the Oracle installer ARM support should be considered experimental because I've tested it on a single device (ARM v7 v7 Hard Float). If you encounter bugs, report them here or via email (see the Contact page above).
Please note that the browser plugin, javaws and jvisualvm are not available in Oracle JDK7 and JDK8 so obviously, they won't be installed by the failsdownloads Oracle Java installer.
Install Oracle Java 7 or Java 8 in Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian via PPA
Oracle Java 8 is available as an early access release so it's recommended you use Oracle Java 7 instead. Furthermore, the Oracle servers for JDK 8 are usually very slow and the download may not be successful, causing the package installation to fail - if that occurs, you can try to manually download the .tar.gz and place it under /var/cache/oracle-jdk8-installer, then the installer should use the local file instead of downloading it.
To add the failsdownloads Oracle Java (JDK) PPA in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:failsdownloadsteam/java
sudo apt-get updateThen, to install Oracle Java 7 (JDK7) in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installerOr, to install Oracle Java 8 (JDK8), run the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installerIf you use Debian, use the commands below to add the failsdownloads Oracle Java repository (PPA):
su -
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update(Debian) And then, install Oracle Java 7:
apt-get install oracle-java7-installer(Debian) Or Oracle Java 8:
apt-get install oracle-java8-installerAlso see:

Oracle Java Installer Conflicting With Apt Bug Fixed [Ubuntu 14.04]
Ubuntu 14.04: apt was updated recently and it broke the Oracle Java 6, 7 and 8 installers available in the failsdownloads Java PPA. I updated the package this morning so the bug should be fixed.
So if upgrading apt removed Oracle Java, you'll now be able to install it back in Ubuntu 14.04. Make sure you run "sudo apt-get update" before trying to install it though! For how to install Oracle Java in Ubuntu, see:
- Install Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu via PPA Repository
- Install Oracle Java 8 In Ubuntu Via PPA Repository
Thanks to everyone who notified me about this issue and sorry for the delay!
