A bug discovered in the development version of the next Ubuntu has shown that some applications may have compatibility issues with ext4 filesystem.

The problem occurs in the writing system disk configuration files of applications. In ext3 journaling mode and the "data = ordered" these files are written to disk every 5 seconds so that any changes made in the configuration files in practice are written to disk without problems.

If you're legal, use Open Office

"This copy Linex Legal" is a slogan that I use at the time the Junta de Extremadura to promote their distribution and how good it could estrapolar to Open Office today. Glogueando is gerund, I found this on UbuntuArte . Take a look that is priceless

"A promotional message from OpenOffice, cites that 35% of software in the world are pirated or illegal copies, we asked whether our software is legal and clearly describes the strategy of Microsoft.

"After years of unofficially tolerating piracy as a means of securing control of the market, Microsoft is now conducting an offensive to ensure that copies of their software is legitimate:

* Just bought AssetMetrix, a software company specializing in detecting what programs have installed on our PCs
* You are using Internet screening software to install copies of MS-Office on users' PCs.
* Worldwide, the Business Software Alliance is organizing efforts to prosecute those who violate their conditions - for example in the UK offers great financial rewards to any informer who reports to companies that use pirated software.
* Microsoft itself admits that clients have difficulty understanding the complexities of software licensing - it's easy to accidentally break their conditions. "
Note that OpenOffice is a perfectly viable alternative, and further copies are legal and will not cost you money. "

Adobe just released an update to version 9 and version 10 of Flash Player that fixes a number of issues important enough so everyone should update the software, and is available for Linux, Solaris, OS X and Windows. It affects virtually everyone, because Flash Player is installed on 98% percent of the world's computers. It does not have the latest version, a computer can become infected by simply viewing a web page.

To determine the version of Flash Player that we installed, we agree to this test page Adobe Flash:

We would be surprised if Mr. Shuttleworth of Canonical Ltd chief executive told us that tested the Microsoft operating system-Windows 7 - and you think of a good system, not logically would believe it not for qu ubuntu-vs-view and Shuttleworth is waiting for Microsoft to finally install windows 7 and stop giving away XP (It is assumed that the license be charged to manufacturers) giving the event has installed Ubuntu computers are more expensive than those with XP, it is clear that the Ubuntu community awaits the release of Ubuntu 9 to cope.

Ubuntu no longer news, this time we revel in the inclusion of the ext4 file system in its next release. A review of successful and ext3 as the first "benchmarks" that we see, will bring improvements in the performance of our system in terms of disk usage. Currently ext4 patches we have seen, but have not been many, give this new system a distinct advantage over their competitors and above all on ext3 already had its time.
