Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin

Hello fellow of Cyberspace, the first 6 months of 2012 have been very busy for Canonical, since they have announced six releases for this year, I for one, I'm just going to concentrate on OS 12.04, so here we go.

This new version has an amount of changes can be seen as each package has had a special treatment to ensure stability and performance. I do not deny that a quick glance looks very similar to 11.10 but that is not how it goes in detail.

The first thing we find is with HUD or Head-Up Display. This novelty is designed for Unity (3D or 2D) and allows us to search the menu or active screen.

Now we also have support for several monitors in an integrated way which is very useful.

In addition there is a new video lens that works with local and online videos (it is compatible with Vimeo, YouTube, Amazon, TED, BBC iPlayer, etc.) Finally.

Some Unity configurations have been integrated in the System Configuration (GNOME Control Center), under "User Interface". They are available for Unity 3D and Unity 2D, however, since not all configurations work with both versions of Unity (for example, you can not change the size of the initiator icon for Unity 2D), only those supported for each version will be displayed. Of Unity. Many other aspects of Unity can be further adjusted using the CompizConfig Configuration Manager or some tools such as Deconfigurations, Ubuntu Tweak or MyUnity.

OSD notifications use the same blur and color as Dash: it is a very popular touch.

Ubuntu One has changed to a new Qt interface by default, replacing the old GTK version.

Now users can change the color of Dash.

A Show Desktop icon is available for the Unity initiator.

A new "initiator selector" has been added.

ALT + TAB switch per workspace (this is configurable and you can use an ALT + TAB switch of multiple work areas by unchecking the "Blas alt-tab to prefer Windows in the current graphics window" check box)

RC6 for Sandy Bridge has been enabled by default. This allows the GPU to enter a state of very low power consumption when the GPU is inactive

DNS resolution is now done through dnsmasq, which should help divide DNS VPNs and faster DNS resolution.

Improved compatibility with ClickPad

Quick lists for most of the default applications and for BFB (the Ubuntu button that opens Dash) Landscape, a systems management tool.

For compatibility with Debian, the Unix sudo group has changed from "admin" to "sudo"

HP will certify Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for its Proliant servers: HP has decided to back Linux, giving system administrators another flexible software option to take advantage of their current and future hardware.

These are the programs that we have pre-installed:

• Firefox 11.
• Thunderbird 11.0.
• Nautilus 3.4.1
• Gedit 3.4.1
• Ubuntu Software Center 5.2
• Leave Dup Backup Tool 22.0
• LibreOffice 3.5.2
• Shotwell 0.12.2
• Rhythmbox 2.96
• Totem 3.0.1
• Empathy 3.4.1
• Transmission 2.51
• Gwibber 3.4.0
• GNOME Control Center (System Settings) 3.4.1
• Unity 5.10 on top of GTK 3.4.1.
• Rhythmbox has returned for music.
• These are the programs that we will stop having in this version: Banshee, Tomboy and Gbrain.

Upgrade:

In April 2017, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS reached its end of life. For Ubuntu Advantage customers who can not upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu Server, Canonical offers Ubuntu 12.04 ESM (Extended Security Maintenance). ESM provides continuous security solutions for the kernel and essential packages until April 2019.

Wolfheart Book 17

In the wake of the Cataclysm, the conflict has engulfed every corner of Azeroth. Hungering for more resources amid the turmoil, the Horde has pressed into Ashenvale to feed its burgeoning war machine. There, acting warchief Garrosh Hellscream has employed a brutal new tactic to conquer the region and crush its night elf defenders, a move that will cripple the Alliance's power throughout the World of Warcraft. Unaware of the disaster brewing in Ashenvale, the night elves' legendary leaders, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind and Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage conduct a summit near Darnassus in order to vote the proud worgen of Gilneas into the Alliance. However, resentment of Gilneas and its ruler, Genn Greymane, runs deep in Stormwind's King Varian Wrynn. His refusal to forgive Genn for closing his nation off from the rest of the world years ago endangers more than just the summit: it threatens to unravel the Alliance itself.

Varian's animosity is only one of many unsettling developments in Darnassus. An uneasiness creeps over the once-immortal night elves as the first of them fall victim to the infirmities of age. While they cope with their mortality, tensions flare over the reintroduction of the Highborne, formerly the highest caste of night elf nobility, into their society. Many night elves are unable to pardon the Highborne for the destruction unleashed on Azeroth millennia ago by their reckless use of magic.

When a murdered Highborne is discovered on the outskirts of Darnassus, Malfurion and Tyrande move to stop further bloodshed and unrest by appointing one of the night elves' most cunning and skilled agents to find the killer: the renowned warden Maiev Shadowsong. Yet with all that is transpiring in Darnassus, the Alliance might be powerless to stop the relentless new warchief Garrosh from seizing the whole of Ashenvale.

Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects Book 16

When Azeroth was young, the noble titans appointed the five great dragonflights to safeguard the budding world. Each of the flights' leaders was imbued with a portion of the titans' vast cosmic powers. Together, these majestic Dragon Aspects committed themselves to thwarting any force that threatened the safety of the WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

Over ten thousand years ago, a betrayal by the maddened black Dragon Aspect, Deathwing, shattered the strength and unity of the dragonflights. His most recent assault on Azeroth—the Cataclysm—has left the world in turmoil. At the Maelstrom, the center of Azeroth's instability, former Horde warchief Thrall and other accomplished shaman struggle to keep the world from tearing apart in the wake of Deathwing's attack. Yet a battle also rages within Thrall regarding his new life in the shamanic Earthen Ring, hampering his normally unparalleled abilities.

Unable to focus on his duties, Thrall undertakes a seemingly menial task from an unexpected source: the mysterious green Dragon Aspect, Ysera. This humble endeavor soon becomes a journey spanning the lands of Azeroth and the time ways of history itself, bringing Thrall into contact with ancient dragonflights. Divided by conflict and mistrust, these dragons have become easy prey to a horrific new weapon unleashed by Deathwing's servants... a living nightmare engineered to exterminate Azeroth's winged guardians.

Of even greater concern is a bleak and terrifying possible future glimpsed by Ysera: the Hour of Twilight. Before this apocalyptic vision comes to pass, Thrall must purge his own doubts in order to discover his purpose in the world and aid Azeroth's dragonflights as they face the Twilight of the Aspects.

USB 3.0

USB 3.0

Hi, fellows of Cyberspace, today I want to talk about USB 3.0 and several of its improvements, let us start.

In view of the fact that between 2004 and 2006 came the first external hard drives, allowing storage on Gigabyte and Terabyte, it was clear that USB 2.0 technology, which gave us a speed of 480 Mbit / s would soon be very slow, to This amount of data.

Therefore, in November of 2008 appears in the market the USB 3.0, with the main feature that is the multiplication by 10 of the transfer speed, which happens to be of 4.8 Gbit / s, to this new technology is called; USB 3.0 Super Speed. This is because now the cables allow working with five lines to send and two to receive, allowing bidirectional traffic.

It has also changed the current, which is now 900 milliamps, reducing the charging time of mobile devices.

These new ports have the intelligence rule, that if devices that are connected for a while and are inactive, they immediately go to a low power state.

At the end of 2009, manufacturers such as Asus or Gigabyte presented the basis of the forms with this new revision of the bus. The 3.0 version of this universal connector is 10 times faster than the previous one.

Now 3.0 ports have a light blue color to differentiate them from 2.0 ports

Where you can see a big change is in USB 3.0 Micro-B - The sidecar:

The only solution for USB 3.0 had a smaller connector. It was to take the existing Micro-B connector and stick another connector next to it. This appeared mostly on external hard drives, as they needed more current. The popular theory is that this format will be replaced very quickly by Type-C.

This connector is compatible with USB 1.x and 2.x always losing the advantages of USB 3.0
