Pitäiskö hommat mac tms?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ensimmäinen kommentaattori heitti että <em>&#8220;Sitä ei ainakaan osaa&#8221;</em>. Toiseksi kommentiksi laitoin osoitteen <a  href="http://www.ubuntu-fi.org">www.ubuntu-fi.org</a>.</p>
<p>Reaktio oli yllättävä: kommentaattoreiksi löytyi kaksi muuta Ubuntua käyttävää naishenkilöä jotka tykkäsivät siitä! Mahtavaa nähdä että Ubuntu leviää tasaisella tahdilla myös tavallisten ihmisten (=ei-nörttimiesten) keskuuteen! Toki he kertoivat että alussa oli Windowsiin tottuneelle ollut hieman opettelua mutta vähitellen käyttöä on oppinut eikö ole koneen kaatuilu ollut ongelmana.</p>
<p>Alkuperäinen kirjoittelija kiinnostui että mikäs tämä Ubuntu on, onko se joku lyhennös undulaatista vai..</p>
<p>Niinpä kirjoittelin lyhyen (?) esittelyn Ubuntusta jonka ajattelin jakaa täälläkin.<br />
Olkaa hyvä!<span id="more-4528"></span></p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Ubuntu</h3>
<p>Ubuntu on käyttäjärjestelmä kuten Windows tai maceissa pyörivä OS X. Se siis hoitaa mm. kaiken jutustelun ohjelmien ja laitteiden välillä (siis kaiken mitä tapahtuu siinä välissä kun käsket mokkulaa yhdistämään verkkoon siihen että se sit sinne yhdistää). Noin karkeesti.</p>
<p>Windows on Microsoftin lippulaiva ja se maksaa rahaa. Myös tietokoneissa, joihin ei erikseen osteteta Windowsia, vaan jossa se on asennettu jo ostettaessa, osa hinnasta tulee tästä Windowsin hinnasta. Windows on se perusjuhta joka löytyy kaikkialta. Sen ongelmia on juurikin monille tutuksi tullut epävakaus eli kaatuilu sekä ajan mittaan hidastuminen kun sinne kertyy jotain &#8216;tauhkaa&#8217;. Myös virukset ovat Windowsin riesa.</p>
<p>OS X on Applen tuote ja sekin maksaa rahaa. Sen &#8216;erikoisuus&#8217; on se, että se pyörii vain Applen omissa tuotteissa, eli niissä mäkkitieskareissa. Apple pyrkii erittäin aggressiivisesti sitomaan käyttäjiä omiin tuotteisiinsa: esimerkiksi uusi iPhone ei lähde henkiin jos käytössä ei ole tieskaria jossa iTunesia ja Apple myös pyrkii juurikin estämään sen, ettei OS X:ää ajettaisi muilla koneilla. Lyhyesti siis tietyissä, suht suurissakin piireissä Applea pidetään epäreiluna pelurina, joka tekee nätin näköisiä tuotteita. OS X on käsittääkseni Windowsia vakaampi eikä viruksista ole riesaa.</p>
<p>Ja sitten on tämä Linux. Jos tarkkoja ollaan, Linux on se, mitä suomalainen Linus Torvalds 90-luvulla kirjoitteli Helsingin Yliopistossa: käyttäjärjestelmän ydin. Sen päälle on rakennettu sitten kokonaisuuksia joita kutsutaan jakeluversioiksi eli distribuutioiksi. Ubuntu on näistä yksi.</p>
<p>Ubuntun starttasi Etelä-Afrikkalainen it-kuplan aikaan rikastunut Mark Shuttleworth. Se iski rahat säätiöön joka tukee Ubuntun kehittämistä. Aktiivisesti mukana on myös Canonical -niminen yritys, jota Shuttleworth pyörittää.</p>
<p>Ubuntu on Etelä-Afrikan bantukielestä peräisin oleva sana ja tarkoittaa juttuja jotka pyörivät yhteisön ja toisten auttamisen ympärillä, kts <a  href="http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(filosofia)">Nelson Mandelan ja Desmond Tutun määritelmä</a> sanalle Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Ubuntu -Linux -käyttöjärjestelmä pyrkii mahdollistamaan tietokoneen käytön tasapuolisesti ihmisille rahan määrästä (ilmainen, nyt ja aina), kielestä (<a  href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ubuntu-10.04-translation-stats.html">käännetty kokonaan 29 kielelle, osittain 189 kielelle</a>) tahi osaamisesta (käyttö pyritty tekemään mahdollisimman helpoksi, vaikeinta on juurikin Windows-käyttäjillä jotka ovat tottuneet tiettyihin kaavoihin).</p>
<p>Käytännössä Ubuntu on vakaa (=ei kaadu &#8211; erittäin käytetty internetiä pystyssä pitävissä palvelinkoneissa), helppokäyttöinen, nopea (=ei ruuhkaudu windowsin tavoin), turvallinen (=ei viruksia, ei tarvetta erilliselle palomuurille) käyttöjärjestelmä. Ubuntu-filosofia johtaa myös siihen, että käyttäjäyhteisö on erittäin suopea myös aloittelijoille: forumilla oikeasti uskaltaa kysellä tyhmiä &#8211; ja saa silti fiksuja vastauksia! Toisia autetaan, tehdään yhdessä juttuja.</p>
<p>Katso mitä muut sanovat: <a  href="http://www.ubuntustory.com/">http://www.ubuntustory.com/</a><br />
Ja suomenkielisen käyttäjäyhteisön sivut löytyvät osoitteestan <a  href="http://www.ubuntu-fi.org">http://www.ubuntu-fi.org</a></p>
<p>Nimim: välillä vähän näissä kuvioissa mukana ollut<br />
<a  href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RistoHKurppa">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RistoHKurppa</a></p>
<h3>VALO</h3>
<p>Ai, se piti vielä kertoa että Ubuntu on niin sanottua VALO -ohjelmistoa, eli <strong>V</strong>apaa, <strong>A</strong>voimen <strong>L</strong>ähdekoodin <strong>O</strong>hjelma.</p>
<p>Vapaus tarkoittaa sitä, että sitä saa levittää rajoituksetta. Kopioida kaverille niin paljon kuin haluaa.<br />
Vapaus tarkoittaa myös sitä, että Ubuntun ohjelmia saa muokata vapaasti omiin tarpeisiinsa sopivasti.</p>
<p>Avoimmuus tarkoittaa sitä, että ohjelmien alkuperäiset koodit tarjotaan niistä kiinnostuneille &#8211; tämä on se joka mahdollistaa tuon edellisen vapauskohdan, eli ohjelmien muokkaamisen.</p>
<p>Mikään näistä ei toteudu esim. Microsoftin päätuotteiden kohdalla: Ei Windowsia tai Officea saa kopioida kenellekään, ei niitä saa muokkailla &#8211; niitä ei edes pääsisi muokkaamaan koska lähdekoodia ei ole saatavilla.</p>
<p>Tunnetuimpia VALO-ohjelmia lienevät OpenOffice, Firefox, ja GIMP-kuvankäsittely. Kts esim. <a  href="http://www.valo-cd.fi/ohjelmat">http://www.valo-cd.fi/ohjelmat<br />
</a></p>
<p>Tämän saman vapauden piiriin lukeutuu mm. <a  href="http://fi.wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>, <a  href="http://librivox.org/">Librivox-äänikirjat</a>, <a  href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">Openstreetmap.org</a> -karttapalvelu. Kts lisää <a  href="http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/">http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/</a></p>
<p><a  href="http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/"></a>VALO on hyvää vauhtia leviämässä myös Tampereen hallintoon: <a href="http://blog.ubuntu-fi.org/2011/valoa-tampereella/">http://blog.ubuntu-fi.org/2011/valoa-tampereella/</a></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time lapse photography is a method of creating films by taking a series of photos with constant interval, for example one minute, and then combining them together as a movie.</p>
<p>I was sick a while ago. The first day I didn&#8217;t do much but sleep and read comics. The second day, the most exciting event of the day was to see how the frost flowers in the window melted. In the morning it was about -27C but then during the day the sun heated the window so much that the frost flowers melted away. Seeing new flowers in the window the following morning, I decided to try to make a time lapse video of how they melt.</p>
<h3>Code to control the camera</h3>
<p>First, I grapped a piece of old camera control code from <a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/2009/07/using-a-hp-multimeter-the-lazy-no-smart-way/">one of my old posts</a>. gphoto2 is able to control my Nikon D70 DSLR over USB: tell it to take a shot, download the image and so on. So this is the code I ended up with:</p>
<p><code>for i in {1..400};<br />
do<br />
echo "#################"<br />
echo "Photo $i"<br />
date<br />
echo "#################"</code></p>
<p><code> </code></p>
<p><code>#capture a photo<br />
gphoto2 --capture-image &amp;<br />
sleep 60<br />
gphoto2 --get-file=$i<br />
done</code></p>
<p>This takes a picture, waits for 60 seconds, downloads the previous picture, and starts it all over again. As it does this for 400 times, it should give me almost 7 hours of shooting time.</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p><a  href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhkrhk/5458416434/sizes/l/"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5256/5458416434_320363a16b_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Nikon D70, on manual mode, 1/800s, F7.1, manual focus</li>
<li>Sigma F2.8 105mm macro lens</li>
<li>D70 needs to be set  to PTP mode and also had to set the camera to store on the memory card (see gphoto2 &#8211;set-config-something..)</li>
<li>Make sure you have enough space on the card! If this is a problem, you can also remove files from the camera using gphoto2 -D &#8230;</li>
<li>Make sure you start with a full battery. I did. It went empty. Tried to replace it &#8211; only to find out that also my backup battery was empty. Fail.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t move the camera. Don&#8217;t touch it!</li>
<li>During the shooting, I had this one-liner running in the folder where the images were downloaded:  <code>while true; do gwenview -s . &amp;&amp; sleep 300; pkill gwenview; done</code> to see some of the images on the screen all the time. It&#8217;d be nice if gwenview would integrate new files in the slideshow folder to the running slideshow, but as this didn&#8217;t work, I needed to kill and restart it every now and then to see the latest results.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Converting JPG files to video</h3>
<p>It sure wasn&#8217;t easy to figure out a decent way to do this. But this is how I did it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create a 3008x2000px (same as my camera resolution) jpg to use as title of the movie</li>
<li>Save 4 copies of it (title1.jpg title2.jpg etc..)</li>
<li>Create 1 second title clip: <code>mencoder -nosound mf://*.jpeg -mf w=1504:h=1000:type=jpg:fps=8 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2160000:v4mv -o title.avi</code></li>
<li>Create the &#8216;main film&#8217;: <code>mencoder -nosound mf://*.JPG -mf w=1504:h=1000:type=jpg:fps=8 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2160000:v4mv -o movie.avi</code></li>
<li>Join these together: <code>avimerge -o final.avi -i title.avi title.avi title.avi movie.avi title.avi title.avi</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>Result</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been recently playing with GPS devices on Linux (for example <a  href="http://www.i-gotu.com/">i-gotU gt-120</a>, and the <a  href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~igotu2gpx/+archive/ppa">linux software to download tracks</a>). I&#8217;ve also been discussing gps+heart rate data storage options. The obvious choice is (ex-Nokia) <a  href="http://www.sports-tracker.com/">Sports Tracker</a> and it didn&#8217;t even cross my mind that you could do something like this with local Linux software.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s useless to ever think like that &#8211; you&#8217;re surprised with the variety of apps that are available and developed for Linux.<br />
I bumped to this blog post on <a  href="http://planetkde.org/">Planet KDE</a>: <a  href="http://blog.volker-lanz.de/2010/07/28/sports-activity-tracking-app-the-baby-needs-a-name/">Sports Activity Tracking App: The Baby Needs a Name</a>.</p>
<p>And it looks awesome.</p>
<p>Reading the comments I found some other apps that do more or less the same, and Google gave me even more. So here&#8217;s just a quick list of GPS / HRM apps you might want to have a look if they&#8217;d be useful for you:</p>
<ul>
<li><a  href="http://blog.volker-lanz.de/2010/07/28/sports-activity-tracking-app-the-baby-needs-a-name/">Then Unnamed / Kardio / Kilometer / &#8230;</a></li>

<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/polarscope/">Polarscope</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pytrainer/">Pytrainer</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/viking/index.php?title=Main_Page">Viking</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://edu.kde.org/marble/">Marble</a></li>

<li><a  href="http://blog.sarine.nl/gpx-viewer/">GPX viewer</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.gpsbabel.org/">GPSBabel</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.qlandkarte.org/">QLandkarte M/GT</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://opengts.sourceforge.net/">OpenGTS</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html">and the list goes on&#8230;.</a>So far I&#8217;ve been using GPSBabel to convert and Viking to analyze and clean the data, but now I might find some new neat tools&#8230; I don&#8217;t have a HRM, only GPS (Openmoko Freerunner), so I&#8217;d like an app to be able to visualize the track on (OpenStreet)Map like Viking does, but then maybe also somehow store the tracks. It&#8217;s a pain to have hundreds of GPX files in folders, some kind of tool to search would be neat. Maybe <a  href="http://www.kphotoalbum.org">KPhotoalbum</a> will some day be extended to manage any data, not just photos and videos :)A great place to discuss free GPS software is the <a  href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS-GPS">FOSS-GPS</a> mailing list, you&#8217;re welcome to join!
<p>Do you have any experience on some of these apps? What features they miss? What&#8217;s the coolest thing they can do?</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m planning to wipe my Kubuntu desktop box root partition to re-install Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. I don&#8217;t have any major problems that would force me to reinstall the system, but I&#8217;ve installed many apps and packages from outside the repositories, manually and so on, so it&#8217;s quite hard to try to track down why something doesn&#8217;t work and then report the bug. And it&#8217;s nice to see the installer every now and then anyway, get a fresh start, tabula rasa, you know.</p>
<p>This is my setup:<br />
<code>File system.            Size  Used Free Use% Mount<br />
/dev/md0               38G   26G   11G  71% /<br />
/dev/md1              319G  276G   27G  92% /home</code></p>
<p>First I ran backups to an external 500GB USB disk:<br />
<code>time rsync -av --progress --stats /home/rhk /media/disk/2010-07-24-homebackup/</code></p>
<p>Then I decided to find out how long I&#8217;ve been running this system. A neat way to find it out is to find when the file system has been created:<br />
<code>rhk@rubert:~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/md0|grep created<br />
Filesystem created:       Wed Jul  9 17:35:59 2008<br />
rhk@rubert:~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/md1|grep created<br />
Filesystem created:       Tue May  8 22:31:04 2007</code></p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve had my setup running since July 2008, from Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, upgrading to 8.10, then to 9.04, 9.10 and to 10.04. My home partition has been there since May 2007 &#8211; that&#8217;s when I got this computer and first installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04.</p>
<p>~daily usage, I think running two years in a row isn&#8217;t that bad, every now and then installing some off-the-repository packages. And as stated above, there&#8217;s still nothing that&#8217;d force me to reinstall it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happened last Wednesday, the day before the release of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS at Ubuntu-fi teams IRC channel (<a  href="http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Postituslistat_ja_IRC">#ubuntu-fi-tiimit @ Freenode</a>).</p>
<p>Someone organizing the <a href="www.coss.fi/ubuntufest">Ubuntufest release party</a> at Tampere, Finland on 5th of May (<a  href="http://akademy.kde.org/">Akademy 2010</a> will also be there this summer!) asked if we&#8217;re planning to write a press release of the new Ubuntu release. Well.. it was on our <a  href="http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/TODO/10.04">TODO list</a> but it really didn&#8217;t look like anyone would have the resources to write one like <a  href="http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Ubuntu_8.04_lehdist%C3%B6tiedote">we&#8217;ve done earlier</a>.</p>
<p>So I decided to run a small test on the community &#8211; would it be possible to create a press release without making it a pain to anyone. I opened an <a  href="http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/JnzhILi8dT">Etherpad</a>, copied the <a  href="http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-edition">original English press release</a> there and annouced it on the same #ubuntu-fi-tiimit IRC channel requesting people to join to translate it.</p>
<p><span id="more-3314"></span></p>
<h3>Etherpad</h3>
<p>Etherpad used to be a proprietary, but free (as &#8216;no money asked from you to use it&#8217;) service at etherpad.com. Then came Google, <a  href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/google-acquires-appjet">bought it</a>, <a  href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/etherpad-back-online-until-open-sourced">disabled it for a while</a>, <a  href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/etherpad-open-source-release">open sourced it</a>, <a  href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/google-acquires-appjet">reassigned the developers to work on Google Buzz</a> and now finally <a  href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/transition-update">shuts Etherpad completely down</a>. Quite exactly what happened with Jaiku, the Finnish microblogging service some years ago: <a  href="http://mashable.com/2007/10/09/jaiku-google/">Bought it</a>, <a  href="http://jaikido.blogspot.com/2009/03/jaikuengine-is-now-open-source.html">Open sourced it</a>, <a  href="http://www.zengestrom.com/blog/2010/02/the-buzz-is-out.html">reassigned developers to work on Buzzz</a>. Jaiku is still up&amp;running as it was <a  href="http://jaikido.blogspot.com/2009/03/jaiku-is-now-served-from-app-engine.html">moved it over to Google App Engine</a>.</p>
<p>So now as Etherpad is open source, there are open source versions of it, see <a  href="http://piratepad.net/">piratepad.net</a>, <a  href="http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org">pad.ubuntu-uk.org</a> and <a  href="http://etherpad.org/etherpadsites.html">http://etherpad.org/etherpadsites.html</a></p>
<p>The cool thing with Etherpad is that anyone can use it without a need to register or log in. Many people can edit the same file at the same time and they will immediately see the changes the others make. You can save revisions, export the files as txt, html, pdf and so on. It&#8217;s also great to see how the text is color coded: each user has his own color so it&#8217;s quite easy to see what has changed and so on. It also features an awesome <a  href="http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/ep/pad/view/JnzhILi8dT/latest">time slider</a> letting you to see when the changes have been made and so on.</p>
<h3>Results</h3>
<div id="attachment_3315" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 251px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/etherpad.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3314" title="Press release"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3315 " title="Press release" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/etherpad-241x300.png" alt="Press release" width="241" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshot of the press release - click to see it bigger</p></div>
<p>In less than two hours we had a press release, translated by around 10 people. See the screenshot on the right to see how one sentence can be edited by many people &#8211; and still make sense. At least to us, who read Finnish ;)</p>
<p>Releasing (=mailing it to news papers and other contacts) started immediately. This resulted a nice visibility in Finnish IT magazines &#8211; we&#8217;re still waiting for the break through on non-IT magazines :/</p>
<p>You can see the pad we used here: <a  href="http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/JnzhILi8dT">http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/JnzhILi8dT</a> (Thanks Ubuntu UK for supporting us :)</p>
<p>So I can recommend Etherpad to you and your community &#8211; it&#8217;s an awesome tool to allow your volunteers to skip all unnecessary registrations and focus on the results.</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone who contributed. You can check the final press release at U<a  href="http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_lehdist%C3%B6tiedote">buntu-fi wiki</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Will Firefox in Ubuntu soon use Microsoft Bing as the default search engine? Some press releases / announcements are out that can be interpreted so.</p>
<p>July 2009 / <a  href="http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2009/jul09/07-29release.mspx">Microsoft Press Release</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Yahoo! and Microsoft announced an agreement that will improve the Web search experience for users and advertisers, and deliver sustained innovation to the industry. In simple terms, Microsoft will now power Yahoo! search while Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers.</p></blockquote>
<p>January 2010 / <a  href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2010-January/002396.html">Ubuntu Desktop Mailing List</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Change #2 is changing the default search provider in Firefox to Yahoo!<br />
Note that this won&#8217;t in any way effect the ability of a user to choose<br />
and use the search provider of their choice. It&#8217;s literally 2 easily<br />
discoverable clicks to change this setting, a simple matter of switching<br />
to that search provider in the chrome by clicking on the icon and<br />
choosing the desired provider. Note also that Yahoo! does not share any<br />
personally identifiable or usage information.</p>
<p>Why?<br />
I am pursuing this change because Canonical has negotiated a revenue<br />
sharing deal with Yahoo! and this revenue will help Canonical to provide<br />
developers and resources to continue the open development of Ubuntu and<br />
the Ubuntu Platform. This change will help provide these resources as<br />
well as continuing to respect our user&#8217;s default search across Firefox.</p></blockquote>
<p>February 2010 / <a  href="http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/press/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=445608">Yahoo Press Release</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) and Yahoo! (Nasdaq:YHOO) announced today that they have received clearance for their search agreement, without restrictions, from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission, and will now turn their attention to beginning the process of implementing the deal.</p>
<p>Implementation of the deal is expected to begin in the coming days and will involve transitioning Yahoo!&#8217;s algorithmic and paid search platforms to Microsoft, with Yahoo! becoming the exclusive relationship sales force for both companies&#8217; premium search advertisers globally. Once the transition is completed, the companies&#8217; unified search marketplace will deliver improved innovation for consumers, better volume and efficiency for advertisers and better monetization opportunities for web publishers through a platform that contains a larger pool of search queries.</p></blockquote>
<p>To me it looks like that 1+1 = Firefox of Ubuntu will soon be using Microsoft search engines and algorithms. If you know more about  and are able to clarify, please add it to the comments. What do you think, would you be happy to use Bing search engine as your search engine or are you maybe already using? Better than Google?</p>
<p>Thanks Aapo for the tip!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gigantti tarjoaa valokuvakirjantekosoftaa myös Linuxille, kts <a  href="http://photo.gigantti.fi/">http://photo.gigantti.fi</a>. Ajattelin laittaa testiin.</p>
<p><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti1.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="gigantti1"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3044" title="gigantti1" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti1-300x183.png" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></a><span id="more-3042"></span></p>
<p>Ladattavana on <a  href="http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz">setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</a> -niminen paketti.</p>
<p>Ladataan se:</p>
<p><code>wget http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</code></p>
<p>Tuloksena on n. 9.1K kokoinen paketti. Puretaan se.</p>
<p><code>tar zxf setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</code></p>
<p>Sieltä pullahtaa ulos kaksi tiedostoa:</p>
<p><code>EULA.txt (6.6K) ja install.pl (25K)<br />
</code></p>
<p>EULA:n ensimmäine kappale kertoo tällaista:</p>
<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste">”Gigantti Photo Shop” -ohjelman (jäljempänä ”ohjelma”) asennusta ja käyttöä koskevat lisenssi- ja käyttöehdot. Ohjelman julkaisija on CeWe Color AG &amp; Co. OHG, Meerweg 30-32, 26133 Oldenburg. Ohjelman on tuottanut ja sen omistaa CeWe Color AG &amp; Co. OHG (jäljempänä tekijä), Meerweg 30-32, 26133 Oldenburg. Toimituksellisissa teemoissa olevat kuvat ja tekstit ovat tekijänoikeudellisesti suojatut. Maksun yhteydessä käyttäjä saa ei-yksinoikeudellisen ja ei-siirrettävän oikeuden ladata valitut teemat omalle tietokoneelleen oman henkilökohtaisen albumin käyttöön. Kuvien ja tekstien käyttö, sisältäen myös muokkauksen ja/tai kopioinnin, ja jakelu jatkossa on kielletty. Materiaalia ei myöskään saa antaa julkiseen käyttöön.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>No ei varsinaisesti yllättänyt. Vilkaistaanpas tuota install.pl:ää. Näyttäisi lataavan serveriltä jonkinlaisen indeksitiedoston jonka perusteella lataa loput. Ajetaan se.</p>
<p><code>./install.pl</code></p>
<p>Terminaalissa toimii. Suomeksi antaa jutut, alkuun luetuttaa EULA:n, ja kysyy hyväksytäänkö ne [ja/NEJ]. Vähän puutteellinen suomennos.</p>
<p>Tämän jälkeen kysyy asennuskansiota, ehdottaa kotikansion alle luotavaksi kansiota Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti Photo Shop.</p>
<p>Ehdottaa ladattavaksi seuraavia settejä netistä [JA/nej]</p>
<p><code> Executable [application/zip]    2908186 (2.8M)<br />
Linux Libraries [application/zip]       12509022 (12M)<br />
Photofun [application/zip]      7995687 (7.6M)<br />
Resources [application/zip]     30273193 (29M)<br />
SVGTemplates [application/zip]  11740978 (11M)<br />
</code></p>
<p>Latailu kuitenkin päättyi näin iloisesti:</p>
<p><code><br />
Tarvittavat tiedostot pakataan asennuskansioon.<br />
Asennustiedostoa ei voitu luoda.<br />
</code></p>
<p>Leatherman esiin ja tutkimaan..<br />
Ei luonut koko kohdekansiota. Latasi paketit  kansioon josta installerin käynnistin. Jos olisi vapaampaa koodia, saattaisin viitsiä katsoa miksi näin. Niinpä nyt ajan asennusohjelman uudelleen.</p>
<p>Ja zädäm, kun EULA:n hyväksymisen jälkeen annan ohjelmalle luvan asentaa oletuskansioon, se purkaa tiedostot lataamatta niitä uudelleen ja kertoo että</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;Gigantti Photo Shop&#8217; on nyt asennettu tietokoneellesi.<br />
Aloittaaksesi sinun pitää ajaa &#8216;/home/rhk/Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti Photo Shop/Gigantti Photo Shop&#8217; -tiedosto.</p></blockquote>
<p>No eihän tuollaista voi ajaa, välilyönnit ja kaikki, oikea ajettava on<br />
<code> /home/rhk/Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti\ Photo\ Shop/Gigantti\ Photo\ Shop</code></p>
<p>Koitin myös ohjelman Windows-versiota, halusin tietää, miten se on toteutettu. Niinpä latasin <a  href="http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.exe">EXE</a>-tiedoston ja asentelin sen Winellä Kubuntuuni. Lähinnä halusin nähdä onko tässä käytetty hyödyksi Qt:n etuja ja sama softa saatu helposti kolmelle alustalle. Latailun aikana jo katselin niin kyllä, Qt-tavaraa kovasti asennuksen aikana ilmestyy winen kansioon. Valikoita selailemalla löytyy viittaukset myös Nokiaan:</p>
<div id="attachment_3045" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti2.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="Copyrights"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3045" title="Copyrights" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti2-300x238.png" alt="Copyrights" width="300" height="238" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Copyrights</p></div>
<p>Nyt siis käynnistelin rinnakkain Windows-versio winen päällä sekä Linux-versio.</p>
<p>Kumpikin ehdottaa uuden version tarkastusta (ja asennusta). Kumpikin väittää siinä onnistuneensa. Windows-versio tosin katoaa johonkin..</p>
<p>Jep, Windows-versio ei näytä selviävän päivityksestä. Käynnistän sen siis ilman päivitystä.</p>
<p>Ei auta, johonkin se aina katoaa, tällaisin ilmoituksin:</p>
<p><code><br />

</code></p>
<p>No, ei siis ajeta Qt:n päällä Wineä joka ajaa Qt-ohjelmaa.</p>
<p>Ajetaan suoraan Qt-ohjelmaa, eli Linux-versiota.</p>
<p>Ohjelman mukana seuraa kattavanoloinen opas/ohjepaketti. Samalla ohjelmalla voi tilata myös tavalliset valokuvat, erikoistuotteet jne.<br />
Kirjaa luodessa avustajaa (&#8216;wizard&#8217;) ei ole pakko käyttää, ajattelin kuitenkin kokeilla. Alkuun valitaan käytettävät kuvat. Päätetään sivumäärää, kuinka monta kuvaa sivulle jne.</p>
<p>Tämän jälkeen valitaan taustan tyyppi: kova kansi, pehmeä kansi, kangaskansi, vihko jne.</p>
<p>Tausta. Voin valita samanaikaisesti kuusi erilaista taustaa (musta, valkoinen, oma kuva sekä 3 automaattisesti tuumittua kuviota). Samoin voin valita useamman erilaisen tavan asetella kuvat sivuille.</p>
<div id="attachment_3046" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti3.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="Osa sivua"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3046" title="Osa sivua" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti3-300x117.png" alt="Osa sivua" width="300" height="117" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Osa sivua</p></div>
<p>Kuvien lajittelu ja sijoitus voidaan määritellä kolmella tavalla, liittyen jotenkin aikasidonnaisuuteen, siis että onko kuvat lomamatkan eri päiviltä vai vuoden 2009 tapahtumista (pääsiäinen, kesäloma, joulu..), vai tiedostonimien perusteella arvotaan jotain.</p>
<p>Viimeisellä välilehdellä valitaan asetukset, millä perusteella kuvia voidaan karsia pois valikoimasta, siis jos kuvia on enemmän kuin sivuille mahtuisi: samanlaiset kuvat, epäterävät kuvat, ylimlottuneet kuvat ja joku &#8216;värikkäät kuvat&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;Näytä ryhmittely&#8217; oli lajitellut testikuvat kahteen pakettiin &#8211; ne oli kuvattu n. kahtena viikonloppuna, välissä oli useampi vuosi. &#8216;Albumin luonti&#8217; teki jotain, tämän jälkeen se ehdotti kaikista salamalla otetuista kuvista punasilmäisyyden poistoa: &#8216;Poistetaanko?&#8217;, &#8216;Kyllä/En&#8217;. Lienee lueskellut EXIF-tietoja kuvista.</p>
<p>No, kun nämä naputtelin läpi (olisin voinut myös valita &#8216;tee tämä kaikille&#8217; tms), sain eteeni kirjan, johon kuvat oli heitelty valmiiksi sivuille. Pystykuvia se ei ollut osannut kääntää pystyyn. Sivuille oli heitetty yksi kuva taustalle ja loput sitten siihen päälle. Joihinkin tarkoituksiin kovin rauhaton tapa mutta lienee jotenkin itse päätettävissä. Sivujen asettelua sai helposti muokattua hilaamalla vain uusi &#8216;leiska&#8217; vanhan päälle. Kuvat päällekkäin, vierekkäin, kulmittain, tekstilaatikoita.. Myös taustavärin vaihto oli helppo homma, hilataan vain uusi taustaväri tai -kuvio sivun päälle.</p>
<p>Ohjelmassa on tallennusominaisuudet, tilausominaisuudet jne jne. Asetukset vaikuttavat monipuolisilta. Myös &#8216;tallenna nimellä&#8230;&#8217; löytyy: ohjelma tallentaa jonkinlaiseen XML -formaattiin:</p>
<p><code>fotobook producttype="17" version="3.0" isDataMcf="0" theme="normal" productname="ALB17" savetime="2010-02-18 23:21" normalpages="26" imagedir="Gigantti_mcf-Dateien" fotobooksize="QUADHARD" productvariant="" totalpages="31" startdatecalendarium="" programversion="4005004" covercolor="000000" productparameter=""</code></p>
<p>Kullekin kuvalle voi tehdä kaikenlaisia muokkauksia: säätää sävyjä, käännellä ja peilailla, skaalata, rajata, puuttua kirkkauteen, kontrastiin, värikylläisyyteen, &#8216;color&#8217; ja &#8216;hue&#8217; sekä tietysti poistaa punaisia silmiä. Kunkin käsitellyn kuvan pystyi jopa tallentamaan vielä ohjelman ulkopuolelle jpg:nä.</p>
<p>Alun päivitysohjelma yritti latailla uusia hinnastoja, mahdollisesti siinä kuitenkaan onnistumatta. Tämä tuntuu vähän aiheuttavan jotain häikkää tilaussivulla hintojen laskemisessa.</p>
<p>Tilatessa pitää rekisteröityiä palvelun käyttäjäksi syöttämällä kaikenlaisia tietoja.</p>
<h3>Summa summarum</h3>
<p>Ei valittamista. Tuntuu toimivan ihan uskottavasti. Gigantin painojäljestä, hinnoista, toimitusajoista en tiedä, ohjelma kuitenkin toimii Linuxissa uskottavan hyvin, pienistä puutteista ja käännöskukkasista huolimatta.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For long I&#8217;ve been trying to find something to create photo shows with Linux. So far Cinelerra has been the best choice but being.. well, not as simple as I&#8217;d hope it to be, I haven&#8217;t been able to create any photo shows. Then I found Smile &#8211; and here&#8217;s a result from playing maybe 10 minutes. Took some random photos from my travels.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZaNfR9AiqlI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZaNfR9AiqlI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<p>It also allows me to add audio tracks (which I didn&#8217;t do &#8211; copyright stuff and didn&#8217;t spend time looking for Free music yet..), video clips etc etc. PERFECT!!</p>
<p><a  href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~gaspa">PPA for Ubuntu Packages</a><br />
<a  href="http://smile.tuxfamily.org/">Smile Homepage</a><br />
Gaspa isn&#8217;t maintaining the package any more &#8211; I&#8217;d so much appreciate it if someone would be able to take over the package and take it all the way to Debian/Ubuntu.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a  href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek">Ubuntu Open Week</a> has some great sessions about KDE4, for example. Here&#8217;re the most important lines to me:</p>
<h3>History of KDE4</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; You see, at the time KDE was good<br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Some people had planned to make a free software desktop environment and had succeeded.<br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; There was a desktop shell, a web browser, a file manager, a kick arse music player.  Everything you needed<span id="more-2259"></span><br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; But it wasn&#8217;t taking over the world<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; It was good, but it wasn&#8217;t notably better than the rest.<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Along the way Windows had become not quite so crap and Mac OS had been rewritten into something really very impressive, there was also someone called Miguel who kept submitting patches to KDE that got rejected, I heard he went off and did something else<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; So in order to take over the world we had to do better than good.  Incremental improvements on what KDE was wouldn&#8217;t cut it.  We had to take a long term view and make something rocking.<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; As it happens we had a good technical foundation to make something rocking on top of, the Qt library, which was being re-written for the multi-platform bling enabled world of the next decade<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Qt 4 came along and that allowed a whole lot more to be done with desktop applications.  It could make them beautiful.<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Qt 4 is a big step in taking over the world.  When compositing came along people thought that was beautiful but it only added beauty between the applications.  To have a truely beautiful desktop you need a powerful toolkit which can make beauty easy.  Fortunately Qt 4 does that<br />
00:05 &lt;+Riddell&gt; So KDE had to be rewritten and this took some time.  It had to be made cross platform, easy to programme for complex things and most of all it had to be beautiful<br />
00:05 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and when I say beautiful, artwork is a big part of that, but it&#8217;s a whole user experience<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Needless to say this affected Kubuntu a lot<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Kubuntu is a KDE distro.  We believe that KDE is the best desktop platform and so the best distribution can be made from KDE<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Our hope is to make KDE shine<br />
00:07 &lt;+Riddell&gt; which will make lots of happy users</p>
<p>00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; 4.0 came out when it did because it had been ages in the making and open source needs people to release often<br />
00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; else the developers get bored<br />
00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and you don&#8217;t want that, then they&#8217;ll go getting boyfriends and girlfriends and stop doing important things like coding</p></blockquote>
<h3>Ubuntu One &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:20 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: Is anyone looking into Ubuntu One integration with for example Akonadi?<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; sandsmark: yes but not enough for it to be packaged<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; till adams did an akonadi plugin to get akonadi talking to the couchdb address book from ubuntu one<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but I don&#8217;t think it got completed to the extent it would be useful for users<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so anyone who wants to pick that up and run with it would be most welcome</p></blockquote>
<h3>Nokia &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:32 &lt;@akgraner&gt; mmiicc&gt; QUESTION: Does KDE get any help from Nokia?<br />
00:33 &lt;+Riddell&gt; well Nokia funds Qt development and KDE is built on Qt, so that&#8217;s a multi million euro help there<br />
00:33 &lt;+Riddell&gt; they hire a couple of KDE developers and sponsor KDE conferences and developer sprints<br />
00:34 &lt;+Riddell&gt; they also give jobs to a lot of KDE developers who go on to work on Qt (which is a mixed blessing since they often stop doing so much KDE stuff)<br />
00:34 &lt;+Riddell&gt; of course Nokia&#8217;s interest in KDE and Qt is self serving, they want to own the best platform for cross desktop development so that people know and love Qt<br />
00:35 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and they want that working on their phones so people know and love developing for Nokia phones<br />
00:35 &lt;+Riddell&gt; which is all quite mutially compatible with KDE so we&#8217;re happy with the setup</p>
<p>00:43 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: What&#8217;s the nokia-pim-suite in KDE svn: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/nokia-pim-suite/<br />
00:43 &lt;+Riddell&gt; not a skoobie<br />
00:43 &lt;+Riddell&gt; I guess it&#8217;s something mobile related but I&#8217;ve not heard of that before<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; kdepim is still going through the KDE 4 process<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; the apps are ported to KDE 4 but most aren&#8217;t ported to akonadi, the new data management server<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so there&#8217;s loads of activity going on there</p></blockquote>
<h3>Gnome &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:46 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: Any changes KDE &amp; Gnome will join their resources to become the One Desktop to Rule Them All? Say 5, 10 years from now?<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; that&#8217;s not really technically possible, you&#8217;d need to rewrite Gnome in Qt and I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much appetite for that<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; it&#8217;s a shame we have this desktop split, it&#8217;s a horrible waste of resources<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but well, KDE was here first :)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so in conclusion, KDE 4 is going to take over the world.  it&#8217;s a long hard job this and we&#8217;re still getting there<br />
00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but it&#8217;s the best platform and that is turning into the best desktop<br />
00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; all helpers welcome in #kubuntu-devel<br />
01:00 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and remember: by becoming a Kubuntu developer you automatically become good looking</p>
<p>01:01 &lt;+Riddell&gt; &lt; rhkfin&gt; QUESTION: does KDE have a community manager, if, who?<br />
01:01 &lt;+Riddell&gt; not that I know of, one of the charms of KDE is it&#8217;s quite non-heirarchical and everybody gets on well with everyone else with very few exceptions, it&#8217;s a great community to be in01:03<br />
01:03 &lt; Riddell&gt; rhkfin: you only need community managers if you hae a dysfunctional community</p></blockquote>
<p>Way to go KDE, and thanks for <a  href="http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.3.3.php">4.3.3</a></p>
