Glest!

這這這..... 這真是太夢幻了(抖)!! 居然有這種等级的 Opensource (GPL and free) 的游戲!?

More Screenshots
官方網站

畫面看起來夠炫了,不過我還沒測試游戲性如何。
這游戲是最先在 Windows 上開發的,所以官方網站目前只有 Windows 的執行檔,不過以經有熱心(熱血?)人士幫忙移植到 Linux 了。

Linux version: http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uxsm/glest/

以經有 Gentoo 和 Debian 的 package 了! (讚!)

目前還沒有 Multiplayer 和 Network play ,不過以經有人自願幫忙開發Network Play的部份了!(廢話,這麼有將來的游戲這麼可以浪廢掉勒!) 期待網路部份的完成! ^^
官方論壇

Gentoo 官方論壇也有一些 glest 的討論 (就請你自己找吧..)
歡迎勇夫提供心得! :p

Acroread 7 & Firefox

看來目前 acroread 7 是無法在 Firefox 裡開 pdf (因為 acroread 還是 pre-release 的關係?)。 沒差,反正我也不喜歡在 browser 裡看 pdf! :p

This is very nice! 應該可以減少 emerge sync 的時間。

Gentoo 2005.1 Installer

應該很多人都知道了 http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/gli

不過有人注意到第一行文字了嗎:

Welcome to The Gentoo Linux Installer. This is a TESTING release. If your system dies a horrible, horrible death, don't come crying to us (okay. you can cry to kileber).

工程師也滿搞笑的 :p

From OSNews:

Andrew Gaffney, one of our main developers, is doing an incredible job to get the new gentoo installer ready to be included in the 2005.1 release:

From OSNews:
The installer will be the default in 2005.1 but of course you will still be able to install everything by hand. A modern distro simply needs to offer a graphical installer and this is a crucial step to ensure the survival of this great distro. We are confident this will increase our user base dramatically.

我想很多目前人都習慣了文字界面的裝法,而且 Gentoo 文件寫的相當清楚,其實安裝難度並不高。不過我對 Gentoo GUI 的推出還是給于高度的肯定,必竟目前 Gentoo 還是一個小眾的 distro (1),如果 Gentoo Foundation 要繼續下去,它必需要有更多人們對它的接收度,其中降低安裝的難度是重要的第一步驟,才不會讓人覺的這是 1337 才會去用的 distro。一旦接收度提高才會有更多資金捐贈的機會。

而且 GUI 的 install 還是有好處,如果你現在叫我重新裝一遍,我還是得一邊看手冊,一邊看我自己的筆記才有可能裝的起來,叫我空手裝我也辦法。也且除非你有第二台電腦,你還得必需把手冊印出來 (除非你真的是 1337)。所以Gentoo 的安裝難度真的比起它的 distro 高出一些。所以 GUI installer 還是有優點的。

不過 2005.1 還是會有文字安裝的選擇的。 :)

(其實 Gentoo GUI installer 的實作早就出現過了,有一款 distro 叫 VidaLinux (Screenshot),可以算是 Gentoo fork 的版本,不過 Vida 的人不願意和 Gentoo developers 合作,完全沒有回饋 Gentoo,是個在 Gentoo community 鄙視(3)的套件。)(4) (5)

 

Alsa annoyance

這兩個套件讓我整個周末過的很不爽: ヽ(`Д´)ノ

所以暫時丟到 /etc/portage/package.mask

等 1.0.9 再看看。

Gentoo Updates

之前有講一點 Gentoo 有些重要更動,把我覺的比較重要的做個連結好了(都是在 Gentoo planet 上的):

fbsplash 將停止發展,以後將由 splashutils 負責開機畫面
Changes in splashutils
http://spock.one.pl/~spock/blog/archives/2005-03.html#e2005-03-25T11_43_06.txt
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/blog/archives/2005-03.html#e2005-03-28T23_04_56.txt

Kernel package 的改變:
http://www.beejaysworld.de/archives/18-Gentoo-Linux-2005.0-is-out.html
  • from now on, linux-2.6 headers will be the default
  • development-sources will be moved to vanilla-sources
  • gentoo-dev-sources will be moved to gentoo-sources


  • 當然 Gentoo 2005.0 出來了! :)
    提到一點目前資金捐贈的狀況,目前捐贈似乎還不錯,我也捐了一點啦....
    我可不希望 Gentoo 變成商業味很重的 distro,各位有點愛心的話也幫一點吧!:)

    Break my gentoo!

    最近 Gentoo 的變動還真多....
    剛剛才把 kernel 重新 compile 一次,gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.11-r4 已經把 inotify patch 直接加進去了,對我這種不喜歡手動 patch 的懶人很剛好。而且既然 official 把 inotify 加進去應該就有一定的穩定度了...

    既然有 inotify,就要正確的使用它的威力嘍! ^^
    第一步就是把老舊的 fam 還掉!
    不過既然有 inotify,不知道為什麼 official 不把 gamin 放到 stable....(Fedora 早就直接用 gamin 嘍!)
    對我這種不太喜歡用 ~x86 的人有點小不爽...
    anyway.... 我還是給它用了! XD

    emerge unmerge fam
    rc-update del famd default
    ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gamin
    gamin 是 user space 的,所以不必以 init script 來起動,emerge 完就可以直接用了!^^
    我現在略用的感覺是比 fam 好很多,在 nautilus 下開檔案比 fam 快,而且不會像以前 fam 會讓硬碟吱吱叫,穩定很多。

    下一步,Beagle!又要用更多的 ~x86 了!(~抖)

    (續)

    汪汪! 小狗來了!
    超~~~~酷的! 一切都是即時跟新!
    The picture says it all!

    beagle

    (續)

    甚至還可以跟 Firefox 結合 (加 Firefox Beagle extension 後)!
    小狗護駕後 Gnome 已經完美了! :p

    哇 哈哈~ 居然發現這種好康物! Xming

    Xming 是一個 Windows 版的 x-server 就跟 cygwin 附的 x-sever 一樣。 不過它小很多,安裝檔也只有 9.1MB + 一些字型檔,不像 cygwin 必須裝一堆有的沒的,設訂也複雜。xming 幾乎不必設定。如果你只需要 remote X,xming 是不錯的選擇。 以下是我剛剛是成功的例子: xming 畫面前端是 Linux 上的 Epiphany,後面的是 Windows 上的 Firefox。 這是我剛剛隨便 Google 找來的使用步驟: 1. 安裝好 xming! :p 2. 可以的話再加裝字型檔,避免出問題。 :p 3. 這時你應該會有 xming 的捷徑,按滑鼠右鍵,在 target 裡修改:增加 -ac 這個選項 (*待會解釋 )。 4. 記得設定你的 Windows 防火牆,讓你的 Linux 主機可以和 Windows 溝通。 5. 打開 putty,在 Tunnel裡把 X11 forwarding 勾選。 putty 6. 連線到 Linux 主機,在 console 下輸入: export DISPLAY="Your.IP.Address.Here:0.0"。請把 Your.IP.Address.Here 換成你 Windows 的 IP address。 7. 輸入 xterm &。如果在 Windows 下看到 xterm 就表示成功了! ^_^ xterm *其實應該是不用(?) -ac 這個選項,似乎也不太建議使用這個選項(?),不過我現在還搞不太清楚狀況,每次我連到 Windows,Linux 的 console 就會出現 Xlib: No protocol specified 的錯誤訊息。如果你知道解答,歡迎提供訊息! ^^ 你也個以對 xming 做其它設定,例如你可以在 xming 的捷徑裡把 -multiwindow 移除,這樣你的 xming 就會變成視窗模式。還有其他設定就請你自己看文件嘍! 參考文獻: http://planet.arslinux.com/ http://www.ipaterson.ca/writings/technical/remote.x.steps.html http://www.uky.edu/ComputingCenter/SSTARS/cctest_info/connecting_to_cctest_using_putty.htm

    GNOME 2.10 What's new mini review.

    英: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html
    中: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/zh_TW/rnwhatsnew.html
    http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/gnome-2-10/
    The File Manager
    The File Manager The file manager, also known as Nautilus, is even faster and more stable in GNOME 2.10, thanks to changes to its internal architecture.
    更快了! 真的嗎?
    * The path button is now more obviously a button.
    這個 Ubuntu Linux Gnome 2.8 就有了... 還算實用。
    * When creating new files, renaming starts automatically.
    小改變,還算有用。
    * When using keyboard navigation to open the parent folder (Alt-Up), the current folder will be selected.
    不喜歡....
    Window Behaviour
    GNOME 2.10 has a new ability that you might not notice at first, implementing another cross-desktop Freedesktop.org standard.
    In the past, while typing something into one application when suddenly your instant messenger offered a chat request from your friend, your words would be typed into the chat window. Imagine if you were typing your password at the time. This should no longer happen in GNOME 2.10.
    In addition, if an application takes a long time to start, your work will not be interrupted when it finally opens its window.
    小改變 ,還算有用。
    Applications
    Video Player
    GNOME 2.10 now includes the popular Totem video player, using GNOME's GStreamer multimedia framework. Totem provides the intuitive user interface that GNOME users expect, with automatic hardware detection instead of complex configuration.
    不需要 GNOME 也是可以自己裝 Totem。
    Audio Extraction
    我應該用不到....
    Web Browser
    我不用 Epiphany....
    Evolution
    我也用不到 我都用 webmail....
    GnomeMeeting
    沒有跟 Gaim 結合沒屁用.....
    Control Center
    略...
    Panel Items
    .....
    The most visible change is the removal of the Actions panel menu and the addition of Places and Desktop menus. These provide fast access to the items you use most often, without navigating through sub-menus. For instance, the Places menu lists your home folder, your computer, networked servers, and the search feature. In the Desktop menu, you'll find your Preferences and Administration control panels, Log Out, and Help.
    變的跟 Ubuntu 一樣....
    Integrated Modem Control
    還有人用 Dial up?
    Panel Trashcan
    也是 Ubuntu 來的 不過是 Mac OS X 先這樣的.....
    Specially for laptops
    略....
    Removed Applets
    The CD Player panel applet has been removed, so you will not see a CD player on your panel when you don't even have a CD in your drive. Instead, inserting a CD will now start the GNOME CD Player, which can then be controlled from a notification icon that it places in your Panel.
    Ok...
    The dedicated Wireless applet has been removed because the Network Monitor applet, introduced in GNOME 2.8, also includes wireless support.
    Hmm...
    The Mailbox Monitor has been removed because it was unmaintained and insecure. We hope to have a solution integrated with our Evolution mail client in the future. If you don't use Evolution for your mail, you can use a third party application such as mailnotify.
    我用不到 不過有人會不爽吧.....?
    Utilities
    Text Editor
    The GNOME text editor can now highlight the current line and when editing program source code, it highlights matching braces. Spell checking is improved too.
    Nice.
    Archive Manager
    The GNOME archive manager can now open more types of archive, including AR, Debian, and 7-zip archives, and password-protected RAR archives. And if you use the single-click preference in the file manager, then the archive manager will now use single clicks too.
    變動不大....
    Dictionary
    The GNOME Dictionary now suggests words when you aren't sure how to spell something. The definitions also contain links to external dictionary web sites, and the definitions can be printed.
    沒在用....
    Floppy Formatter
    The GNOME Floppy Formatter utility now supports removable drives, such as USB drives, using the standard HAL system from freedesktop.org.
    誰還在用 floppy 啊!!!?
    不過 USB drives 也可也就是了。
    System Administration
    略...
    Log Viewer
    The GNOME log viewer has added a handy find feature, and an improved monitor mode. In addition, it can now
    沒用過...
    Games
    emerge unmerge gnome-games
    ----
    GNOME 2.10 使用者無法改變 Menu (Menu editing) ,因為現在 GNOME application menu 還到 freedesktop.org 的格式。就跟 GNOME 2.6 一樣無法 MIME editing。Menu editing 還沒完成,所以只好等下個 release 吧,也就是還要等六個月。 如果要 Gentoo stable 版 + 兩個月。 orz
    還是下個 release 比較值得期待。 orz
    http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap
    * Reduced memory footprint [BenMaurer, others; see MemoryReduction for more information.] * New default theme for improved aesthetics and usability [SethNickell, Diana Fong; see NewDefaultTheme for more information.] * Improved support for display and manipulation of PDF and Postscript [Evince team] * Improved menu editing [MarkMcLoughlin, Christian Neumair, VincentUntz] * Share functionality between panel and nautilus for better user model [MarkMcLoughlin] * Evolution 2.4 will focus on [Evolution Team] o Performance: less memory use, snappier responsiveness o Usability: better HIG compliance, reorganization of menus and toolbars o Bugfixing and automated test suites o Adding EPlugin hooks so people can extend Evo more easily * Simpler .desktop file editing [VincentUntz]


     

    我講錯了 orz

    我用的是 totem 0.100-r2。
    不過也可以把它當作 "偽" 1.0 啦~ (逃~~)

    Totem 1.0

    Totem 已經 1.0 stable 了。不過 Gstreamer 還是不太好用,檔案很多都不能看。還是用 Xine 當作後端 player 還是比較好。1.0 用 xine 比較炫的功能就是可以在 nautilus 看到支援的影片格式的縮圖,滿不錯的!
