Release Party!
April 9, 2016, 9:15 a.m. by Joshua Bell

It is a great pleasure, and excitement, and somewhat sad (to see this 2 week project somewhat come to and end) to announce that 2buntu.com has finally come to the Windows 10 Store. It is officially available on Desktop and Mobile devices. Be sure to pick it up today, and leave me some feedback.

April 7, 2016, 7:39 p.m. by Joshua Bell

We usually cover Linux around here...but this is Ubuntu related news so now that Hell has officially frozen over with the release of Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14316.rs1_release.160402-2217 (I didn't make that up) Ubuntu is officially on Windows (kind of). Why? I am not exactly sure but I thought I would go ahead and give it a whirl... ...

April 3, 2016, 8:04 p.m. by Joshua Bell

I call hypocrisy! Oh wait you too! Okay, okay just hear me out... Honestly, I delayed this post because I didn't want anyone to think it was a April Fool's joke...

Tech Giants: Modernize Your Motivations
April 3, 2016, 2:12 p.m. by Roland Taylor

This is not a rant. It is a word of advice to companies which produce software or hardware that Linux users may use. It has been sitting in my drafts for a while, but I feel it is still worth releasing, even if those whom it may concern will probably never read it. So, you are a Tech Giant. At ...

April 3, 2016, 1:55 p.m. by Roland Taylor

Have you ever been doing an Impress presentation, noticed a glaring flaw, and felt that overwhelming embarassment of knowing that you can't do anything about it without stopping the running presentation? Yes? Well... chin up, friend. Hope is on the horizon! The hope comes in the form of recent activity on this bug, which has been around since 2011 (COME ...


Update on Openshot 2.0 Review
April 3, 2016, 1:42 p.m. by Roland Taylor

Well, after trying to edit a short clip in Openshot 2.0 (latest beta), for about half and hour, I repeatedly ran into a major show stopper. It literally uses all of the available CPU resources (all logical cores). This occurs if you: Try to watch or preview a clip more than once. Try to select a position on the timeline. ...

How to install Openshot 2.0
Feb. 4, 2016, 10:47 a.m. by Roland Taylor

If, like me, you use Openshot regularly (though I'm planning to switch back to Kdenlive fully after many years away from it), then you've probably encountered the crashes, freezes, and other issues that come with this otherwise great and amazing video editor. Now, Video Editing experts, please, hold your criticism - I'm not making movies here (yet). However, you've probably ...


What Happened to 2buntu
Dec. 10, 2015, 6:45 a.m. by Nathan Osman

Yesterday, our Redis server was hacked. As soon as we figured out what was going on, we immediately switched the website to maintenance mode and began investigating what happened. While this was in progress, we spun up a new server and rebuilt the website, restoring the database from a recent backup. Once the new server was up and running, we ...


Enabling/Disabling modules and sites in Apache
Oct. 3, 2015, 8:57 p.m. by Nitin Venkatesh

The usual configuration in the Apache Web Server stems from a single point - httpd.conf, the main configuration file. There might be other configuration files but they are mostly referred to from this central config file with the Include directive. For example, you might find lines like, Include conf.d/ in the core configuration file. It is also not uncommon to ...


Fixing errors while installing Metasploit Framework on Ubuntu
June 24, 2015, 8:11 a.m. by Nitin Venkatesh

I followed the excellent instructions by darkoperator to install the Metasploit Framework on Ubuntu. However, I had a tiny hiccup when it came to doing the bundle install. (The bundle install step is in the section marked Installing Metasploit Framework in the instructions guide). I got the following error: Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - metasploit-framework-4.11.0.pre.dev.gem An error occurred while ...
