However, this feature didn't work most of the time in my tests running TeamViewer 8 in Ubuntu and trying to connect to other Ubuntu systems using TeamViewer 8 but it might have something to do with VirtualBox because connecting from my Android device to my Ubuntu  13.04 computer has worked pretty well.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqA8K9Zk3aPnbxcgpjtLvY1DvgNwO1MPoL4F7-71bufPArogeD215I7_mWS8jearKe1B_B2v8TcO3jAiiqTDPx33IWJ4QiQnyntO57peAjauDcwlE7dC8BTjHEwyOkory4DTftMxf4P7O4/s1600/teamviewer8-ubuntu.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="TeamViewer 8 for Linux: remote connection to Ubuntu"><img alt="TeamViewer 8 for Linux: remote connection to Ubuntu" border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqA8K9Zk3aPnbxcgpjtLvY1DvgNwO1MPoL4F7-71bufPArogeD215I7_mWS8jearKe1B_B2v8TcO3jAiiqTDPx33IWJ4QiQnyntO57peAjauDcwlE7dC8BTjHEwyOkory4DTftMxf4P7O4/s320/teamviewer8-ubuntu.png" title="TeamViewer 8 for Linux: remote connection to Ubuntu" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><b>Other new features available in remote desktop application Teamviewer 8 for Linux:</b><br /><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li style="text-align: justify;">Session recording (both video and sound, however, only the sound from Windows computers is recorded) and playback now works under Linux.

Recently, these changes have landed in the GNOME Testing PPA for Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04.</b></div><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">After some recent updates to the GNOME Testing PPA, a new "GNOME Classic" session has showed up in the login screen:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic-gdm.png" rel="image_group" title="GNOME Classic Shell login screen"><img alt="GNOME Classic Shell login screen" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic-gdm_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>This isn't the old fallback session</b> (which used to be called 'Classic GNOME Session' in Ubuntu), <b>but a new session in which you're still using GNOME Shell</b>, but with some extensions enabled by default that try to provide a GNOME2-like layout.<br /><br />The first thing you'll notice when using the new GNOME Classic session is that it comes with a <b>light theme</b>, as opposed to the standard GNOME Shell session which uses a dark theme by default. <b>Using this session, you'll get:</b><br /><ul><li>a window list on a panel at the bottom of the screen, with a notification counter at the right;</li><li>an application menu and a places drop-down on the top panel;</li><li>minimize, maximize and close buttons by default (the standard GNOME Shell only uses a close button);</li><li>classic ALT + TAB;</li><li>the clock / calendar has been moved to the right.</li></ul></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The extensions used by the new GNOME Classic session</b> are: AlternateTab, Places Status Indicator, Applications Menu, Static workspaces, Window List, Default Minimize and Maximize and Launch New Instance.</div><br />Here are some screenshots:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_2.png" rel="image_group" title="GNOME Classic session: menu"><img alt="GNOME Classic session: menu" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_2_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_3.png" rel="image_group" title="GNOME Classic session: Places"><img alt="GNOME Classic session: Places" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_3_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_4.png" rel="image_group" title="GNOME Classic session: user menu"><img alt="GNOME Classic session: user menu" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_4_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_5.png" rel="image_group" title="GNOME Classic session: Activities Overview (black background probably because I'm using it in VirtualBox)"><img alt="GNOME Classic session: Activities Overview (black background probably because I'm using it in VirtualBox)" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic_5_thumb.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(black background probably because I'm using it in VirtualBox)</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic-alt-tab.png" rel="image_group" title="Classic ALT + Tab"><img alt="Classic ALT + Tab" src="http://img.netupd8.com/gnome-classic-alt-tab_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Since these are just extensions on top of GNOME Shell, <b>there are some advantages over the old fallback mode: you'll be able to use GNOME Shell's features </b>such as the <b>Activities Overview</b>, get <b>GNOME Shell notifications</b>, <b>use other extensions</b> and so on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

For instance, right clicking an item on the bottom panel doesn't do anything, you can't right click a panel to add new applets (and there are no applets), there are no tray icons on the top panel and so on. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Further more, while the notification count is displayed at the right of the bottom panel which is nice, the actual notifications are displayed at the bottom (center) just like in the standard GNOME Shell session, so they show up on top of the window list which is pretty annoying, as you can see in the screenshots above.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>GNOME Shell 3.8 is still under development, so the GNOME Classic session extensions will probably be polished further,</b> but even so, they still won't get all the features that were available in the old classic / fallback session so I wonder if this will be enough to please all those users who were using the old fallback session. What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to test these changes in Ubuntu 12.10* or 13.04, you'll have to add the <a href="https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3">GNOME 3 PPA</a> as well as the <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing/+packages">GNOME Testing PPA</a> (but the GNOME Testing PPA is highly unstable so I advise you to only use it in a virtual machine), then run a "dist-upgrade". </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* In my test, the new GNOME Classic session didn't show up in the login screen for Ubuntu 12.10 for some reason, but it was available for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>thanks to deusmetallum @ <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/184sgx/gnomeclassic_now_available_in_the_gnometesting/">Reddit</a></i></div>

Terra: Drop-Down Terminal Emulator With Support For Multiple Terminals In One Window

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Terra is a Python / GTK3 drop-down terminal emulator similar to Guake or Yakuake, which shows up from the top of the screen when you press a keyboard shortcut, like the console used in games such as Quake.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The application combines some of the features available in <a href="http://guake.org/">Guake</a> and <a href="https://launchpad.net/terminator">Terminator</a>, resulting in a nice drop-down terminal emulator in which you can use <b>multiple terminals in the same window (you can split the terminal horizontally or vertically):</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_caHLbhSUCMhR87ajlIr6-w4PGb3bnLHfKyXqdmxuajnoyWbgdna3TywUbZBHhbNHRxxAq6bTEsQ-tR2CHzWn3DT4sT4bUdGrVFpcHjA-KGobmVZihbBI_H3eIJA_xdrw0QPYgt_Lkno3/s1600/terra-terminal-emulator.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="terra terminal emulator" border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_caHLbhSUCMhR87ajlIr6-w4PGb3bnLHfKyXqdmxuajnoyWbgdna3TywUbZBHhbNHRxxAq6bTEsQ-tR2CHzWn3DT4sT4bUdGrVFpcHjA-KGobmVZihbBI_H3eIJA_xdrw0QPYgt_Lkno3/s320/terra-terminal-emulator.png" title="terra terminal emulator" width="320" /></a></div></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Compared to Guake</b>, Terra also comes with some extra configuration options like:</div><ul><li>configurable window height or width</li><li>configurable horizontal and vertical alignment</li></ul><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Other features include initial multi-monitor support (available with the latest 0.1.5 release): you can select the monitor on which the terminal will show up, transparency support, configurable keyboard shortcuts to toggle the terminal visibility, split the terminal horizontally or vertically and more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The application is still pretty new so expect new features to be added soon. You might also find some small bugs - for instance, in my test under Ubuntu 13.04, the "hide on lose focus" option is greyed out so it can't be selected (I've already reported this <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/terra/+bug/1122052">bug</a>). Report any bugs you may find @ <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/terra">Launchpad</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To use it, launch Terra from the menu / Dash and then <b>use F12 to show / hide the terminal</b>. The shortcut to show / hide the terminal can be changed from its preferences - if you change it, remember to restart Terra.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To get multiple terminals in the same window, right click Terra and select  "Split vertical" or "Split horizontal"</b>. For now there's no option to save / restore the terminals layout (like in Terminator), but such a feature will probably be added in a future release.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Terra Terminal Emulator</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ubuntu Precise, Quantal and Raring users can install Terra Terminal Emulator by using its official PPA:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozcanesen/terra-terminal<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install terra</code></pre><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Arch Linux users can install Terra via <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/terra-bzr/">AUR</a>.<br /><br />For other Linux distributions, you can grab the Terra Terminal Emulator source via <a href="https://code.launchpad.net/terra">Launchpad</a>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Also see: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/how-to-use-xfce4-terminal-06x-as-drop.htmlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/how-to-use-xfce4-terminal-06x-as-drop.html">How To Use Xfce4 Terminal 0.6.x As A Drop-Down Console (Guake-style)</a></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>Thanks to Yusuf Baran for the tip (I've received it a while back but I've waited for <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/terra/+bug/1086835">multi-monitor support</a> before publishing the post)!</i></div>
