LibreOffice 4.3.4 is released, You can install on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana

LibreOffice is an open source productivity suite that provides all the necessary office components for small-business, educational and non-profit organizations. It is a fork of the well-known OpenOffice.org application.

What's New in version 4.3.4 :

General notes on features and enhancements are contained in this release. For a detailed list, please check our complete release notes here.

• This release is bit-identical to 4.3.4 Release Candidate 1 — you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
• This version still contains a few annoying bugs, as listed here.
• Impress remote is no longer enabled by default. Go to Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Impress ▸ General and check [x] Enable remote control to enable it.
• default sorting behavior/updating references has been changed back to old behavior, see bug#81309 and bug#85490 for details

• Mac version doesn't bundle the MediaWiki extension.
• The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer.
• Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install.
• Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation.
• For Windows users that have Apache OpenOffice installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand. The two programs register the same file type associations and will conflict when the Quickstart feature is installed and enabled.
• If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice; we advise to use OpenJDK instead.
• Some menu entries have changed or been added. If something appears to be missing, that may be due to the use of customized menu settings from your previous LibreOffice installation.

Goggles Music Manager 0.14.2 is released, Available Download for Linux

Goggles Music Manager is an open source project that provides users with a lightweight and fast way to organize and playback their music collection using a universal graphical application that runs on any Linux-based operating system.

Even if it’s not mentioned on the official website, Nuvola Player also supports the Bandcamp online music service and Logitech Media Server, which allows users to connect to Logitech Squeezebox devices.

To install Nuvola Player 2.5.0 on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Ubuntu 13.10/13.04/2.04, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna, Peppermint Five, Deepin 2014, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Linux Lite 2.2 via PPA, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nuvola-player-builders/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nuvolaplayer

According to the Nuvola Player official installation instructions, running "sudo apt-get upgrade" is required (that's why I added it to the installation instructions above) before installing Nuvola Player or else apt-get may fail to resolve some dependencies and the custom Flash Plugin required by some Nuvola Player services won't be installed and thus, those services will fail to work.

For Debian, Arch Linux and other Linux distributions, see the Nuvola Player downloads page.

Popcorn Time 0.3.5

Watch Movies and TV Shows for Free with Popcorn Time 0.3.5 on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows

Popcorn Time is an open source and multi-platform software project that has been designed from the ground up to provide users with a next-gen, torrent-based free video streaming application that allows anyone to easily watch their favorite movies and TV shows in style and with a minimum effort and fuss.

Features at a glance

• Made the updater slightly more durable
• Fixed a bug with the updater breaking when files are missing in Linux
• Added a button to reset the databases if you're stuck on the loading screen
• Fixed the missing and not working Airplay bug
• Fixed the missing and not working ChromeCast
• Fixed the stuck at 99% while using subtitles
• Fixed a bug with trailers in the HTTP API, issue PT-1333
• Fixed the ghost processes left behind on mac and binding issues

First of all, let’s get the legal part out of the way. The status of Popcorn Time is a grey one, but surprisingly enough, it is not illegal everywhere. Some countries out there, like Portugal for example, have said that P2P sharing is not a crime, so applications like Popcorn Time don't break any laws.

Other countries have much stricter laws and it's possible that you might be breaking the law when using this app. Make sure you know what you are doing before starting the application.

This is using a BitTorrent engine, so all the files are downloaded from online sources. Users are not able to save the files locally, but that doesn't mean that they won't be sharing the stuff that they are watching.

This is not done in a transparent way, so unless you have something like FrostWire to check the traffic, you won't know exactly what's happening.

Popcorn Time is now even much better

The devs have been working hard to improve the application and they have made a number of changes and improvements. It's nothing major and that is reflected in the version number, which remained largely the same. This is Hotfix 3 for the 0.3.5 branch of Popcorn Time, although the version number could have easily increased.

"Hey everyone, It's time again for yet another hotfix! This one brings all kinds of goodies for those of you with ChromeCast and Airplay devices. We heard your screams, and we've answered them! As always, I hope this hotfix will resolve a lot of the issues that you guys have been having. Hotfixes are automatically downloaded and applied to your Popcorn Time! If you're having issues with it not actually updating, or getting stuck in a download loop, please re-download Popcorn Time," is noted in the announcement.

The devs have explained that the update process has been improved, a bug that was breaking the update process on Linux has been corrected, it's now possible to reset the databases when the download becomes locked, ChromeCast is now working properly, and a few smaller fixes have been implemented.

You can download the latest Popcorn Time 0.3.5 release from Softpedia. This is a binary file and it doesn't need to be installed.

Install Google Chrome 39 (Stable) in Linux Mageia 5, Mageia 4, OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1, OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.


The biggest addition in this release is 64-bit support for OS X, which first arrived in Chrome 38 beta. Unlike on Windows where 32-bit and 64-bit versions will both continue to be available (users currently have to opt-in to use the 64-bit release), Chrome for Mac is now only available in 64-bit.

All Chrome for Mac users on the stable channel will be updated to the 64-bit version when they get Chrome 39, which doesn’t have a 32-bit equivalent. While Google hasn’t explicitly said so, this would seem that first-generation Intel Macs will not be able to move past Chrome 38.
As Google has shared before, 64-bit support brings speed and security improvements to its browser:

64-bit Chrome has become faster as a result of having access to a superior instruction set, more registers, and a more efficient function calling convention. Improved opportunities for ASLR enhance this version’s security. Another major benefit of this change comes from the fact that most programs on a modern Mac are already 64-bit apps.
In cases where Chrome was the last remaining 32-bit app, there were launch-time and memory-footprint penalties as 32-bit copies of all of the system libraries needed to be loaded to support Chrome. Now that Chrome’s a 64-bit app too, we expect you’ll find that it launches more quickly and that overall system memory use decreases.

The move also means Chrome for Mac no longer supports 32-bit Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) plugins, although their 64-bit counterparts are supported. Google is hoping to drop 32-bit NPAPI plugin support from Chrome altogether, so this should come as no surprise, in order to “improve Chrome’s security, speed, and stability as well as reduce complexity in the code base.” read more for information about google chrome 39

To install Chrome 39 Unstable on Linux Mageia 5, Mageia 4, OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1, OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0 systems, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:

XBMC is an open source and very powerful project that provides all the necessary tools for transforming your regular PC into a bona fide HTPC, which if used in conjunction a big screen TV and a Hi-Fi audio system, will transform your living room into a veritable home theater.

What's New in version 14.0 RC1 "Helix" :

The Next Generation of Video Codecs:

• To begin, Kodi has been updated to use FFmpeg 2.4.3. For users, this means Kodi will now be capable of playing back h.265 (also known as HEVC) and VP9 video codecs. This could result in dramatically smaller video files sizes with exactly the same level of quality. A 40 GB file could be compressed to 20 GB. A 1 GB file could be compressed to 500 MB without any loss in perceivable quality. Users with particularly large libraries or interest in 4K video may be especially likely to appreciate this update. Software support for the VP9 video codec is also included.
• The caveat to this update is that it is entirely software based. This means most low power systems, such as those operating Android or iOS, may struggle compared to the heftier HTPCs or Intel NUCs and ZOTAC ZBOXes that are running desktop and laptop processors.
