Ubuntu is currently the only Linux distribution that is officially supported by VMware for the VMware View client usage.  To obtain the software package, access the Software and Updates option under System Settings.  Access the Other Software tab and enable the option for Canonical Partners.

 

Allow the local package list to be updated.

Access the Software Center and search for VMware.  The View client should now be available.  Even though Ubuntu is the currently only official supported Linux version for the client, the same procedure can be used with other versions of Ubuntu such as XUbuntu and LUbuntu to install the application.

In this video i am going to show the installation process of OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0 after that i am going to do a overview of the operating system and show some of the applications pre-installed.

The OpenMandriva distribution is a full-featured Linux desktop and server, sponsored by the OpenMandriva Association. It is based on ROSA, a Russian Linux distribution project which forked Mandriva Linux in 2012, incorporating many of Mandriva's original tools and utilities and adding in-house enhancements. The goal of OpenMandriva is to facilitate the creation, improvement, promotion and distribution of free and open-source software in general, and OpenMandriva projects in particular.

It was with pleasure that this Kat learned that the mysterious and magical Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (ITMA) has announced that Chris McLeod is succeeding Catherine Wolfe as President of the Institute, for a two-year term.  This is good news, since it involves the succession of Katfriends.  What ITMA Presidents actually do is a matter of speculation, but what they're supposed to do is to look pretty,do lots of delegating and take full blame responsibility for the policy and direction of the Institute and for maintaining contact with UK legislators and international organisations [Merpel still wants to know why ITMA never got a Charter, like the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA), and why indeed ITMA never merged with CIPA either. Was it the tasty prospect of two Christmas dinners rather than one, or was there some rather more subtle force at work?  Do tell!]

Holding a hedgehog: it's not as prickly as handling the Madrid Protocol ...

Coexistence Agreements.  If you are heading out to the International Trademark Association Meeting in Hong Kong next week, and have nothing better to do, why not join this Kat while he is conducting his Table Topic on Negotiating Coexistence Agreements (that's coded TW15) on Wednesday morning from 8 am to 10 am?  Numbers are limited but, if you miss this topic, there are loads of other trade mark enthusiasts with whom you can have breakfast and a reasonable chat (click here for the full list). From registering slogans to best practices in the social media, how to handle the Madrid Protocol to how to crochet your very own logo, there's something for everyone. And while you're in Hong Kong, don't forget to come and say hello.  Three Kats will be in evidence (Jeremy, Birgit and Neil) and you might just be able to catch one or two of them at this year's Meet the Bloggers session, kindly and altruistically hosted by Marks & Clerk at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (for details just click here).


Around the weblogs.  This Kat, writing on SOLO IP, has a little rant at the expense of those expensive directories of professional experts to which IP practitioners are encouraged, if not expected, to contribute.  Class 46 reports on a dispute between a law firm and two former members as to the ownership of copyright in what became the firm's logo, a dispute which has spilled over from Mexico to Spain. The same blog also gives an account of an ingenious scam, all the way from Hungary, in which dealers in fake products concealed them within their own branding when moving them from place to place.


Trade mark podcast -- now in black and white.  Katfriend Rolf Claessen has excitedly emailed us today with the hot-off-the-press (actually, not-off-the-press) news that he has just released the first episode in his series of IP Fridays podcasts, here.  He adds: "You might want to listen in in the podcast where we talk about the figurative black & white trade marks. This is simply outrageous by OHIM and the other offices [the "this" to which Rolf refers is actually this]. Something they simply did not think through". Could be ...

As the publisher of this web site, I am interested in visualizing readership growth over time. With that in mind, I set out to plot the number of page views and clicks over time.

Linux is well stocked with data plotting software. This 3-part series introduces gnuplot, a command-line tool, to plot two-dimensional time-series data. Parts 1 and 2 explain how to plot a points graph; part 3, a bar chart.

Available to me is an input file containing, among other things, the number of page views and ads clicks from 2005 to 2014.

Date    Page views  Clicks  
2005-08-01  9   0 
2005-08-02  65  1 
2005-08-03  20  0 

2014-04-28  2811 8
2014-04-29  2862 10
2014-04-30  2256 2

To graph both page views and clicks against time, the minimal gnuplot command sequence is as follows:

set terminal png 
set output "webstats.png"
plot "report.dat" using 1:2, \
     "report.dat" using 1:3

The first 2 commands specify respectively the output type (png format), and the output filename (webstats.png).

The third command specifies two plots with the same raw input data file(report.dat). The independent variable ("x") in both plots is the first field in the input file (the "1" in 1:2 and 1:3). The dependent variable ("y") is field 2 and field 3 respectively.

You can enter each command interactively in gnuplot. Or put all the commands in a script, say mystats.gp, and pipe the file to gnuplot.

$ cat mystats.gp |gnuplot

The output graph plotted by the above commands is rather unreadable. The rest of this post explains how to turn that into this:

Below is the complete script to generate the nice looking graph. Please consult the official user manual for details.

# Plot style
set style data points 

# Term type & background color, canvas size
set terminal png background "#330000" size 1920, 960 \
 font "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf,18"

# Output file name
set output "webstats.png"

# Input data configuration
# set datafile separator ","
# set datafile missing "?"

# Independent variable (X) = Time series

       title "#PageViews" axes x1y1 ls 1, \
     ''  every ::1 using 1:3              \
       title "#Clicks"    axes x1y2 ls 2
 

Plotting style

set style data [points| linespoints| lines]

Specify the default plot style.

The points style draws a small disjoint symbol for each "y" data value.

If you prefer adjacent symbols to be connected by a line, use the linespoints style.

Want lines to connect the adjacent data values but no symbols? That is the lines style.

Terminal type

set term png background "#330000" size 1920, 960 \
 font "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf,18"

The set terminal command specifies the terminal type, the background color, the canvas size, and the default text font.

• Terminal type is a peculiar name to mean the output format. Besides png, other notable types are pdf, jpeg, and latex.
• The default background color is white. If you want a dark background, specify the color in the #RRGGBB format, for instance, #330000. On-line tools are available to help you identify the color code.
• The default canvas size is 640 x 480 pixels. The canvas is enlarged to hold all the required information.
• The default font (Arial) and font size (18) are specified.

Output filename

set output "webstats.png"

Specify the output file within quotes.

Input data configuration

set datafile separator ","
set datafile missing "?"

• By default, gnuplot assumes the fields in the input data are separated by whitespaces (one or more spaces or tabs). If your input file is comma-separated, configure the separator parameter.
• If your input file has missing data, set the missing parameter to a special string that denotes a field does not have a value, for instance, "?". Make sure that the empty fields in the input data file are populated with the "?" string.

Part 2 of this series explains the rest of the commands in the gnuplot script. Part 3 shows how to plot bar charts using gnuplot.
