Stellarium is a multi-platform, freely distributed and open source software project designed from the ground up to act as a complete and comprehensive planetarium application that includes dozens of features that cannot be found on similar products. It provides users with a realistic simulation of the sky, as well as of the sunrise and sunset.

Get instant access to over 600,000 stars

With Stellarium, you will get access to over 600,000 stars, a realistic Milky Way, illustrations and asterisms of the constellations, and many more features that will let newcomers breathless and help the most-experienced astronomers to discover new stars and planets.

Features at a glance

Key features include a powerful zoom, time control, a multilingual interface, fisheye projection for planetarium domes, eclipse simulation, star twinkling, shooting stars, equatorial and azimuthal grids, supernovae simulation, spheric mirror projection for your own low-cost dome, as well as telescope control.

In addition, the applications includes support for simulating both the solar and lunar eclipse, a sophisticated plug-in architecture that give you access to additional features and catalogues of up to 210 million stars, artificial satellites, ocular simulation and Solar System editor.

FFmpeg is an open source utility that allows Linux, Windows and Mac OS X users to playback, convert, record and stream video and audio files. It is used in almost all Linux distributions. It is a command-line software that can encode, decode, demux, mux, transcode, stream, play and filter almost any media format available. FFmpeg uses libavcodec, the most advanced audio/video codec library for Linux and UNIX-like systems.

Features at a glance

The software is comprised of a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts, a simple media player based on the powerful SDL library, a simple multimedia stream analyzer, a library that contains functions for simplifying programming, and another library that includes muxers and demuxers for multimedia container formats. Additionally, it comes with support for input and output devices, media filters, a library for performing highly optimized image scaling and color space/pixel format conversion operations, and a library for performing highly optimized audio rematrixing, resampling and sample format conversions.

What New in FFmpeg 2.8.3 :

• Amongst lots of other changes, it includes all changes from ffmpeg-mt, libav master of 2015-08-28, libav 11 as of 2015-08-28.

Google Chromeor Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.

Features at a glance

A unique functionality of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed, from any new tab.

• Moved paintlock event delay to greprefs, and adjusted it for 2015’s heavier sites
• Fixed the about dialog scripting for pre-release builds (includes build date now as-intended and no longer errors the script)
• Reorganized how pushed floats are handled in layout flow
• Implemented a change to run the updater from the install directory instead of copying it.

Ubuntu Make 0.4 released, Install on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Ubuntu 13.10/13.04/12.04, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya


Ubuntu Make (formerly Ubuntu Developer Tools Center) is a completely free and open source software solution that comprises of various scripts enabling developers to easily and quickly set up a development environment under any Ubuntu Linux operating system.

Initially designed to help developers easily build Android applications under Ubuntu, the project can now be used to create a full-fledged developer environment for building any type of application, for both PC and mobile platforms. It supports various popular programming languages, such as Google Go.

What's New in This Release:

• Add Go support from the golang Google compiler
• Add a game category with stencyl support
• Refactor and add some tests for those

The easy way to install the Ubuntu Make command-line tools in your Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux operating system, is to add the official PPA repository of the software by opening the Terminal app and running the command.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make

To use Ubuntu Make, run the ‘umake’ command from the terminal emulator and follow the on-screen instructions. Add the ‘--help’ option to the ‘umake’ command (e.g. umake --help) to view more details about available command-line options.

How to install android-studio

umake android

And then, accept the installation path and Google license. It will download, install all requirements alongside Android Studio and latest android SDK itself, then configure and fit it into the system like by adding an Unity launcher icon…

And that's it! Happy Android application hacking on Ubuntu. You will find the familiar experience with the android emulator and sdk manager + auto-updater to always be on the latest.
