Yesterday I was digging into a Shutter problem, and today someone told me Shutter somehow still gets updates…

Grab it from the Ubuntu kernel Mainline PPA http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.17.1/ Download the deb files and install them. “unsigned” means no Secure Boot support.

Vim 8.1 is a minor release — a handful of new features have landed since Vim 8.0. The big one for me is that Vim 8.1 can run a terminal inside a Vim window. That sounds great. So I decided to put Vim 8.1 on my main machine.

As we all know that Firefox 57 will rename to Firefox Quantum. It means the New version Firefox will use Quantum Engine instead the old one. Even throgh Firefox 57 is still in beta,but we can install it from PPA under Ubuntu. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firefox So here it is.

Telegram got an update, and the Linux build picked up a genuinely useful feature. You can reply to messages straight from the notification.

Rhythmbox 3.4 is out, and you should upgrade. Plenty of reasons, but one matters more than the rest: it fixes the memory leak… Before, listening for too long would blow up memory usage. Not anymore — at least I haven’t hit it since upgrading.

A while back, apt-get update started throwing something weird at me: “The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: XXXXXXX” My first thought was whether I’d gotten myself MITM’d or DNS-poisoned — the public key just up and vanished? So I flushed the DNS cache and ran the update again. Same problem.
