Exit your Bash session and open a new one and it should work now (or you can source this file again using source /root/.bashrc, just make sure you are doing all this with root privileges.)

NeonView is a minimalist image viewer for Linux, created by TuxArena and written in C and GTK+ 3.

Below is a screenshot of NeonView in GNOME 3:

Installing Counter-Strike

After downloading and installing the game, this can be found inside the ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common directory.

This is a beta version, and it looks pretty good. I could notice that the main menu is capped at a certain resolution compared to the usual version for Windows, but the game itself seems to use whatever resolution specified by the user. As always, I’m glad to see games ported to native Linux. There was, however, a significant drop in FPS compared to the Windows version, but that may be because of the Intel drivers.

The server browser seems to work OK:

Except for the eye-candy, colors may help when it comes to clarity, although some prefer the default monochrome approach. At the start of this article there is the actual code which can be copied and pasted inside the ~/.bashrc file, and which can be modified depending on each person’s preferences. If you don’t care about what it does you can just insert it in ~/.bashrc, restart your terminal and start reading some man pages to see how it looks (e.g. man man). After this part I tried to explain how this code works and how to modify it in order to get new ‘themes’.

For this tutorial we’ll be editing the ~/.bashrc file, which is a hidden file located in your home directory which gets read each time a new Bash instance starts up. Bash reads all the commands found in this file and executes them (hence the rc part, which stands for run commands).

We will edit this file and add some lines which specify certain colors for the $LESS_TERMCAP variables.

Don’t forget to reset your terminal after entering this code in order for the changes to take effect, e.g. type reset or exit and start up another shell.

This will mostly use magenta and cyan as the colors. Next, I’ll explain what these lines mean and how you can modify the colors.

As you can see, there are several variables which are assigned different values. As shown in the comments after the # sign, every one is used when needed. When text is in bold (double-bright mode), the formatting option is set to bold and the color magenta.

Let’s take, for example, the following line:

This line could be broken into this:

• the environment variable LESS_TERMCAP_md will be assigned the value to the right of the equal sign
• the right side says execute the command between the $( and ) characters, just like the older ` ` did
• printf is a command similar with C’s printf and means “print with format”. The characters between the double quotes specify a color and a font style (e.g. in this case, bold and magenta).

The part that is inside the double quotes are format specifiers like bold, regular, or color to be used. More on these can be found on Wikipedia, here.

The color codes are as follows:

• 30 – black
• 31 – red
• 32 – green
• 33 – orange
• 34 – blue
• 35 – magenta
• 36 – cyan
• 37 – white

Some other escape codes which you could use include:

• 0 – reset/normal
• 1 – bold
• 3 – italic/reversed
• 4 – underlined
• 5 – blink

You can check this by typing in a terminal something like:

So, if we have something like printf ‘\e[01;33m’ it means enter bold and color yellow, according to the listing above.

export is a Bash built-in used to assign values to variables in such a manner that any subsequent application that runs in that shell will be aware of the variable’s value. If, for example, we would simply assign a value to a variable, say MYVAR=”this is my variable” and we would then issue echo $MYVAR, we would see that the variable’s value will be printed. However, try to make a simple script which would echo it, for example:

And then run it e.g. bash myscript.sh – you will see that the value is lost, not visible in the script. So this is where export is useful, because it will make any further script or application “see” the variable. When we invoke the man command, it will need to see the values for our LESS_TERMCAP variables.

In this tutorial I will start from the basic ways of using find and head up into showing more complicated (but very useful) ways of getting the most out of it, in order to search and display exactly the results that you are looking for. The version of find that I currently have installed is 4.4.2, as it comes with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, and Bash 4.2.20 (older versions should work without problem too). Special thanks go to http://www.commandlinefu.com/ for some really great one-liners.

If you’re not familiar with the terminal, command-line or Linux in general I suggest you read my introductory tutorial here: Introduction to Linux Command-Line for Beginners.

The simplest way of using find is by typying it in a terminal:

find

This will list all the files and folders (including hidden ones and their sub-files and sub-folders) in the current directory, following the whole hierarchical structure. This will usually generate a long list of files and doesn’t seem to give us much. It’s exactly the same as:

find .

Where . is the currently working directory. This will list all the files and folders in the currently working directory.

It’s probably best to use a new folder somewhere in the file system to see this in effect, a folder which doesn’t have many sub-folders and files.

Moving on, let’s search for all the files that include the name profile in their filename:

find . -name *profile*

* is a wildcard that replaces any number of characters or no character. The above command searches in the current folder for the name *profile*.

find /usr/share -name FreeSans*

This will search inside /usr/share for all the files that start with FreeSans (and end in whatever characters e.g. FreeSans.ttf). I recommend using double quotes around the pattern to search for e.g. find . -name “.bash*”.

Another example:

find /usr/share -name FreeSans* | grep Oblique

So now you know how to search for a certain filename in a specific location.

Sometimes you need to ignore uppercase and lowercase and just search for text by ignoring case-sensitive. We’ll to this just by replacing -name with -iname:

find /usr/share -iname FREESANS*

find . -mtime +3 -iname *somefile*

This will search for files that were created earlier than 3 days ago.

find will return the whole path to the files that match the search pattern, so in order to get only the filename you can use the printf argument:

find /usr/bin -name "alsa*"

To get only the filename, use:

find /usr/bin -name "alsa*" -printf "%f\n"

To search for files by size, use the -size argument, for example:

find /usr -size +500k -name "*png"

This will search inside /usr for files which are equal to or larger than 500 KB and are ending in png. Another example:

find /usr -size +1M -name "*png"

Which will search for files which are bigger than 1 MB in size. Instead of the plus sign, you could use minus in order to search for files that are smaller than a specified size:

find /usr -size -10c -name "*png"

The -10c specifier tells find to only display files which are smaller than 10 bytes. Don’t forget the + or – preceding the desired filesize.

You could use a pipe and the xargs command for this:

find /usr/lib -size +2M -name "*.so" | xargs ls -lh

Notice that this will list the files in the current directory if find returns no file.

This is probably one of the most useful ways to search for some file which name you’ve forgot but you know some of the text it contains inside.

find . -name "*bash*" -exec grep -l "aliases" {} +

This will search in all the files that contain the patter bash for the word aliases. Those files that contain this pattern will be printed out.

Find top 20 largest files:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -h | sort -hr | head -20

The game resembles an ancient warfare universe, much in the way Age of Empires series did. The new key features in this version include (from the changelog on the official website):

• a new, complete faction called Roman Republic, which comes with a new art set for buildings, units and ships
• a new combat system adding bonuses and weaknesses to units
• a new trading system, which allows you to choose which resource to be gained by a trader, available on both water and over land
• new random map scripts
• new animations for several ships, units and animals
• new AI improvements, including including a serious bug fix and performance increases
• four new music tracks and a re-done track
• many other bug fixes and minor features

Features & Gameplay
The game comes with 3D graphics using OpenGL, allowing you to zoom in/out and to rotate the image. After starting a new game only few options can be configured though, like enabling or disabling shadows, water reflections or the music. 0 A.D. features both single player and multiplayer, with the single player mode offering a skirmish-like mode, no campaigns being available at the current time. In single player you will fight versus qBot, the default A.I. used by the game. A scenario editor which can be started in-game via the Options menu is also available.

Main menu

The multiplayer mode features direct connection only, there doesn’t seem to be an Internet server, so you can either host a game or connect to another game by specifying the machine’s IP.

Starting a single player game

It can be ran in fullscreen mode or windowed mode using Alt+Enter to switch between them.

0 A.D. features a lot of maps, several factions like the new Roman Republic, Iberians, Celts or Hellenes, combat units, buildings for training new units and technologies, a trading system, and naval ships.

The gameplay is pretty much similar to the one of Age of Empires in that you gather food, stone, gold and wood, expand and upgrade your buildings and units, build up a strong army and defeat your opponent.

The new Roman faction (from the official screenshots)

Currently 0 A.D. doesn’t offer configuration options like changing the resolution, configuring keyboard shortcuts or changing the sound/music volumes. The available hotkeys are listed here.

You can use Alt+Enter to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode, or F2 to take a screenshot in PNG format.

Installation
Instructions for installing 0 A.D. in various Linux distributions can be found here. To install 0 A.D. in Ubuntu you can use the repositories provided by the official project by issuing the following commands in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install 0ad

Then run it by typing 0ad in a terminal.

To conclude, 0 A.D. has a pretty slow development rate, but once all the remaining features are implemented it should make a great, classy, real-time strategy game. Plus, it’s completely free.

Download 0 A.D.

In order to change it, edit this file as root with a text editor, e.g.:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Then find the option GRUB_GFXMODE and insert your preferred resolution, e.g.:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

Now save the file (Ctrl+O followed by Enter if you used Nano for editing), and issue the following command in your terminal:

sudo update-grub

This should be all, the next time you restart your computer the new resolution should be changed.

CMus is a powerful, feature-rich music player for the terminal which uses the ncurses library

mp3blaster
mp3blaster is one of the most popular music players for the terminal out there. It uses the ncurses toolkit, and has features like grouping of tracks, playlists, shuffle and repeat modes.
Homepage

MOC
MOC stands for Music on Console and it is a twin-panel music player with the file browser to the left and the playlist to the right. MOC is built upon ncurses and allows shuffle, repeat, volume control.

Finch
Based on libpurple, Finch is developed by the Pidgin project, and it pretty much supports the same features of it, except for the graphical part, of course. There are many chat protocols which it supports, including AIM, IRC, MySpaceIM, WLM, SILC, Yahoo! or ICQ.

Finch allows you to change the status, report idle time based on keyboard activity or turn it off, it supports plugins, file transfers, sounds, status messages, chat timestamps, customization of the contact list. In addition, it also lets you change and remembers the position and size of the windows.

The very nice thing is that once you get to know how to use it, Finch becomes a great tool for getting the job done.

Finch plugins

Several plugins can be configured and some of the plugins that come bundled with Finch by default include:

• Autoaccept – auto-accept file transfer requests from selected users
• Buddy Notes – store buddy notes
• Grouping – provides alternate ways to group buddies in the contact list
• Join/Part Hiding – hide join/part messages in large rooms

For using Finch you can find a comprehensive guide that I wrote a while ago following this tutorial. This page on the official homepage may be of help too.

Some of the basic keyboard shortcuts include Alt+Q to quit, Alt+A to open the options window, Alt+N to switch to the next window, Alt+C to close current window, Alt+R to resize a window, Alt+M to move a window, Tab to switch through options and Space to tick/untick an option.

CenterIM
CenterIM is another powerful IM client which is being actively developed, and supports the following protocols: ICQ, Yahoo!, WLM, AIM, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu and LJ.

When it starts, CenterIM shows a configuration window with various general options that can be changed or toggled by pressing Enter. The window that follows allows you to set up accounts for all the supported protocols.

CenterIM provides a default interface with the contact list to the left, and the discussion windows to the right. The online contacts are separated from the offline ones. I tried it using the Yahoo! protocol, and the contact groups seem to be ignored. After writing the text you want to send, press Ctrl+X to send it. Use the Escape key to switch to the contact list and Q to quit CenterIM.

Configuration window

CenterIM supports aways messages, anti-spam features, windows size configuration, keyboard binding, logs, aways system.

One feature which I found to be great is the possibility to enable Emacs/Vi keyboard bindings in the text editor, this making it easy for a person who is used to one of these ways of text input.

TuxArena: Hello there Tom, thank you for being with us today.

You’re welcome – I always like talking about Wine and projects involved with Wine.

TuxArena: What is your position at Bordeaux? What other projects are you involved with?

My position at Bordeaux is release manager and public relations. I also help code the script parts of Bordeaux, a couple examples would be our custom winetricks script and our build script. As for other projects, I have a Wine centric news site that I run : Wine Reviews. I’m also an admin at Linux Gamers.

TuxArena: Please tell us, what is Bordeaux? How is it different from Wine, and what does it have in common with Wine?

Bordeaux is a *simple* GTK front-end to assist in installing a limited set of applications. Bordeaux also comes with a Cellar Manager, e.g. Bottle Manager. A Cellar or Bottle is just a nice name for a wineprefix by the way, Bordeaux bundles a custom version of Wine, the build includes some hacks that may help a limited number of applications run a little better then they normally would. As an example we build the unsupported DIB engine and Pulse Audio support in our release.

TuxArena: When and why did you start putting up Bordeaux?

Bordeaux was started and written by Steven Edwards as a front-end to winetricks in late 2007, at that time winetricks didn’t have a GUI. With each release new features have been added like application installs and the Cellar Manager.

TuxArena: What are the Bordeaux goals? What is the difference between Bordeaux software and CrossOver from CodeWeavers?

Our goals are to release for every architecture that Wine runs on. FreeBSD, PC-BSD, at the time OpenSolaris now OpenIndiana as well as Linux and Mac and maybe one day Bordeaux for ARM. Simple answer, Allot :) CodeWeavers ships a more advanced build of Wine then what we do, they have some hacks, tweaks that are built into their releases that we can’t build into ours. Their current front-end is allot more advanced then our current front-end.

But with that said, we also have some strong points I believe. We have builds for FreeBSD, PCBSD and OpenIndiana all extremely small markets. We now sell a custom version of Wineskin: Wineskin Pro that is written in ObjC/Cocoa and C++ and it comes with a custom XQuartz X11 windowing system that is needed for fullscreen gaming on Mac. In the future Bordeaux for Mac will be fazed out, and Wineskin Pro will take its place. GTK on Mac is not what allot of people want, a native application is always more pleasing.

TuxArena: What kind of users are you aiming towards?

People who can benefit from our custom Wine build, I personally like users who like to tinker, our Bordeaux winetricks script is readable and editable by the way. So if a download location for a component breaks they can fix it on their own. Wineskin Pro is geared more towards people who want to play Windows Games on their Mac. You can also run applications with Wineskin Pro, anything that Wine runs Wineskin Pro can run too. Wineskin Pro also has a Wine build manager, for people who want to build their own Wine builds. Everything is in an easy to use GUI, and it makes building Wine on a Mac about as simple as it can be.

TuxArena: How many products do you have? What do each specializes in and what differentiates them?

We currently have Bordeaux that runs on each architecture listed above, and Wineskin Pro that only runs on Mac. Bordeaux is built the the same on each architecture so their are no differences between architectures.

TuxArena: What is the cost of Bordeaux software? Does it offer a one-time payment for all the versions of Bordeaux or only for a certain version?

Bordeaux currently costs only $20.00 for Linux and Free/PC-BSD, Bordeaux for Mac / OpenIndiania costs $25.00 and Wineskin Pro costs $29.95 per license. A license is sold per architecture, customers get free upgrades for six months.

TuxArena: Is Bordeaux open-source? What are the licensing terms that it uses?

Sorry but no, Bordeaux is closed source software governed by a proprietary license that prohibits sharing. However many of the components that we use are open-source, Wine, winetricks and public hacks.

TuxArena: Do you provide support and online documentation?

Yes, we have a basic support ticket system in place at this time and online documentation is provided on the Bordeaux site. The documentation was written by me and it covers the install, dependencies and usage. It also covers how to run Bordeaux from the command line.

TuxArena: Thank you for taking the time to talk with us about Bordeaux, Tom. We wish you continuing good luck in improving and developing it.

Thank You!

Geany | Homepage
Geany is a powerful and user-friendly GTK text editor that is one of the favorite applications for users under GNOME. It is full-featured, and besides the usual functions it also provides support for projects, embedded terminal, auto-indentation, highlighting support, line wrapping, integration with the make tool, plugins, and various configuration options. This is a very good recommendation for those who are looking for a good text editor/programming environment for GNOME.

SciTE | Homepage
Yet another nice text editor for GNOME, SciTE features all the common functions you’d expect to see in a full editor. Included here are a big number of language modes, highlighting support, tabs, read-only mode, exporting to HTML, PDF, LaTeX, XML or RTF. Monospace font is disabled by default, so you will have to press Ctrl+F11 or go to Options->Use Monospaced Font.

Kate | Homepage
This is by far my favorite KDE editor. Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor) is a serious, full-featured programming environment which brings up things like: indentation, syntax highlighting, sessions, file selector, integrated terminal, word wrap, block-selection mode, and much, much more. A valuable piece of software for any KDE user.

Gedit | Homepage
Gedit is the default text editor that ships with the GNOME desktop environment. It has support for indentation, syntax highlighting, tabs, check spelling, bracket matching and fullscreen mode. Gedit allows you to configure text wrapping, tab width, auto-save feature, font and color scheme. Another good addition Gedit implements is support for plugins, and most of the features are provided by these plugins. Included here is the side panel plugin, document statistics plugin, or the spell-checker plugin.

NEdit | Homepage
NEdit is a decent text editor with a particularly clean interface written using LessTif, “the hungry programmer’s version of OSF/Motif”. Although the interface doesn’t exactly look like a 2011 GUI application, let’s have a look at the features of NEdit: it supports a lot of language modes, auto indent, text wrapping, syntax highlighting, incremental search, macros and window splitting. NEdit is pretty rich when it comes to customization options too.

Scribes | Homepage
Scribes is a simple editor written in GTK with a minimalistic interface, where the workspace occupies all of the window space. There is no menubar nor a toolbar, so accessing the options is done by right-clicking anywhere on the workspace or by using mouse-over on the top-right corner icon.

jEdit | Homepage
You can tell jEdit is written in Java just by looking at its interface. jEdit comes with some pretty neat features and rich configuration options. Some of the highlights include: indentation, word count, complete word function, multi-functional clipboard, incremental search, markers, file browser, a *huge* number of programming modes, many configuration options, support for macros and plugins. It is a little slower at start-up since it is Java-based, but otherwise jEdit really makes up a wonderful editor with lots of useful features.

Medit | Homepage
Medit is a simplistic editor for GNOME with support for tabs, syntax highlighting, text wrapping, sessions, Python plugins support and sidebars for file list and file selector.

Leafpad | Homepage
This is the most minimalist notepad-style editor for GNOME in this review. Leafpad only offers options to search, change font, enable auto-indent, line numbers or word wrap. Perfect application for quickly editing configuration files or other ASCII text files without the need to fire up a heavier editor.

Joe | Homepage
Or Joe’s Own Editor, Joe is a terminal-based text editor which resembles the keyboard style used by the older WordStar and Turbo C editors and features like multiple windows support, command history TAB expansion, indentation, highlighting support, undo/redo functions, and also Pico and Emacs emulation.

Ne | Homepage
Ne (Nice Editor) is yet another text editor for the terminal targeted at beginners, with enough features to make it powerful enough.

Komodo Edit | Homepage
Komodo Edit is a free, powerful text editor from the Canadian commercial company ActiveState. It comes with many features. It’s only downside is that it is pretty slow at startup.

KWrite | Homepage
KWrite is another editor for KDE with less features than Kate. Includes features like check spelling, indentation or dynamic word wrap.

Nano | Homepage
This is probably the most popular tool among Linux beginners when it comes to console text editors. Nano is highly configurable and provides syntax highlighting (here is a guide I put up a while ago on how to enable it), indentation, easy to use keyboard shortcuts, standard Emacs way of moving around (like ^N or ^P, or ^F and ^B) and plenty of other functions. Nano is particularly useful for quickly edit configuration files as root or as normal user.

Diakonos | Homepage
Diakonos is yet another terminal text editor providing customization, ease of use. Diakonos is intended to be easier to use than Emacs while also offering strong features.

Bluefish | Homepage
Some prefer to write HTML/CSS pages using normal text editors, however for those who want a dedicated application for this, Bluefish is a real gem. This program is a fully-fledged editor for web designers, with very powerful functions, a visual editor provided by the toolbar icons for inserting various tags in a fast fashion, syntax highlighting, file browser, and many more.

Jed | Homepage
Jed is a fast console editor which offers keyboard shortcuts similar to the ones of Emacs (like ^X-F to open a file, or ^X-C to quit), highlighting support and many other tools available.

TEA | Homepage
TEA is a decent HTML/XHTML, Docbook, LaTeX and Lout editor written using the Qt toolkit which offers a clean interface, highlighting support, file browser, standard HTML editing functions, a TODO calendar and various configuration options.

Kile | Homepage
This one’s a KDE LaTeX editor with good features and plenty configuration options, as well as building system and support for projects.

Lyx | Homepage
Lyx is a highly full-featured document processor for LaTeX based on the WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) paradigm.

In conclusion, want a full-fledged editor for GNOME? Try Geany or SciTE. For KDE? Give Kate a shot. You like Java-based applications? Try jEdit. You want a minimalist editor? Give Medit, Scribes, Leafpad or KWrite a shot. If you’re a command-line addict, see what Joe or Nano have to offer.

I’d really like your feedback, especially for all those terminal editors which I hardly ever used more than taking a glimpse at them for this review. Any suggestions, corrections and additions are warmly welcomed, so please express your impressions in the comments below.
