I really liked your interview with Martin Wimpress especially just before getting to meet him at Linuxfest Northwest! Great guy from a rural area like myself. So I have a problem I thought I’d ask you about? Hey has anyone else seen this: In Clementine the Spotify plugin no longer works correctly. I used to be able to access saved music and playlists. But now I can’t see my spotify playlists. It will however play an old saved Clementine playlist from before things broke. Thanks guys, keep up the great work! aka Ruralgeek Some very kind Youtube comments on the show last week which shows how good the Linux community can be. All of them are much appreciated Admin A big thank you to each and every one of you for supporting us and Thank you For Watching Destination Linux Have a great week and remember the Journey ITSELF is just as important as the Destination.

More secure than before and attempting to guarantee better quality and better compatibility The site supports oauth authentication via Google, Facebook and Github so you can  comment and like your favorite spices The maintenance of the spices themselves was moved to Github and every single change is now reviewed by the Linux Mint team to guarantee spices cannot be used for malicious purposes Anyone can provide bug fixes and translations to Cinnamon spices Both the Authors and the Linux Mint team is now directly involved in the maintenance of all Cinnamon spices. Many spices were removed, many were fixed, many were updated and the team is now able to add support to spices not only for current versions of Cinnamon but even for upcoming ones. We’re getting closer and closer to a situation where everything “just works”, where quality spices are easy to find and where they work in your language. Linux Mint 18.2 “Sonya” MATE – BETA Release MATE 1.18 with GTK3 Softpedia Article New Features Just one week after the launch of the KDE Plasma 5.10 desktop environment Bugfixes KDE Plasma 5.10.2 on June 13 KDE Plasma 5.10.3 on June 27 KDE Plasma 5.10.4 on July 18 KDE Plasma 5.10.5 on August 22 Kubuntu Plasma 5.10.1 now in Zesty backports Ubunsys Gives Ubuntu Power Users Easy Access to Scary Options Installed today Needs some work – but is still in dev. Adds PPA’s, etc like welcome. But a 3rd party – may want to check what it is adding. Seems to need a lot of BG access – expected. Some of the option like repairing PPA actually rely on other tools that need to be installed from 3rd party PPA’s – but no dependency, just not found – like the y-ppa-manager, but available in the options to install. Chrome 59 arrives with… Some updates for the other OS’s like mac notifications 30 some bug fixes To avoid over-prompting users, Chrome will now temp stop an origin from requesting a permission following the third dismissal of that permission request. Some cosmetic changes like a material design overhaul in the settings page The Image Capture API allows higher resolution images than before. That means developers get full control over camera settings such as zoom, ISO, and white balance. Seems to be mostly developer related updated Stuff like: vTouch events new worker-src Content Security Policy directive vgetInstalledRelatedApps function (smartly consolidate push notifications) Etc   New SteamOS Stable Release Launches with Linux Kernel 4.11, Mesa Graphics Stack Gaming Mesa 17.1.2 Open-Source Graphics Stack Brings 70 Improvements to Linux Gamers Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III Requirements for Linux and macOS Revealed Intel vs. Radeon vs. NVIDIA OpenGL/Vulkan Linux Driver Performance klocki is a beautiful casual puzzle game that recently released for Linux

As self-confessed distro-hoppers I was wondering if you could discuss elementary os and maybe a focus on minimalism in distros – being ill right now gave me an epiphany that I used to distro-hop like crazy until I landed on elementary. When I started using it, I felt trapped because it’s not as flexible as (for example) KDE and hated it until I realised that it has its own work flow that prevented me from breaking it – now I rely on it and can’t imagine switching. Is this minimalist approach key to stability in the Linux desktop? When I can configure a desktop, I find I will and then I inevitably switch to another distro when I break it – but when I can’t tinker with it, I get things done more effectively and am more likely to stick with it. Sorry for the short essay, thanks, and keep up the great work! Kind regards, William Willis Whinn Mentions: Elementary Tweak & Elementary Plus (Missing Icons)

It’s Now a Real Theme Viewer comments I listened to the MP3 ‘Destination Linux Update’ dated 20th April 17 on Podbean.  The last regular episode I had was Number 14 dated 1st April 17.  I’m sorry you’ve been having problems and really like the show.  However, I resubscribed to the show and still had the same episode listings as before. I don’t understand the finer details of podcasting and subscriptions and so I’m wondering how it is that I got nothing from Episode 14 apart from the ‘Update’?  Surely, if I got the ‘Update’, I’d at least get every episode since then? Thanks for bearing with me and for your help in my Linux journey. Best wishes Andrew ——————————————————————————————————————— Hey guys great to see you finally have a real website. And thanks for the referral message. My Podcast Addict still had the old feed and I was beginning to wonder was going on. Enjoy the show, and really enjoy the “safe for work” aspect of the show. And while I listen to other podcasts, many I can’t recommend to others. BTW- The Email link and the Telegram links don’t work. Keep up good work! Thanks, David ——————————————————————————————————————- Hi Rob & Rocco With the never-ending nonsense from YouTube regarding flagging videos for no logical reason, etc. – would ye guys consider moving to another video site? I recommend Dailymotion. Additionally ye could upload your videos (past & future) to archive.org. Torin —————————————————————————————————————– Hi guys Absolutely love the Destination Linux podcast & both of your own YouTube channels. Fantastic work! I’d be interested to find out if either of you have tried Chakra? https://chakralinux.org/ I’ve recently started to run Chakra as my daily driver and find it to be a superb KDE implementation. By far the best Linux distribution to fit my needs. From what I can tell they’ve been going a few years now & came up with the idea of a half-rolling release model long before Linux Mint or KDE Neon. I don’t see many reviews or videos available for Chakra & I believe they deserve much more attention. I’d really appreciate any thoughts or comments! Kind Regards Mark ————————————————————————————————————— Hello:  Rob & Rocco Just wanted to tell you all, that the new Ubuntu Mate 17.04 does not work on my system.  Big deal!  That’s not a deal killer for me i will just use something else. What works for me. ( fedora 25 ) yes like all the distro’s they are all in need of some work. I will say to you guy’s keep doing what you are doing. Your shows are for everyone to enjoy.  And i do, Those who don’t like what you say about distros or the comments, or reviews don’t need to complain. If they want to do a disto review. just jump right in, and do your own assessment of the distros. And they can then put on their big boy pants, and see what happens!  Everyone is a expert but the expert! Love the show, reviews and guests. Keep going it is all good and fun. Jalu ( just a linux user ) Ben S ————————————————————————————————————— Hi guys, great channel – loving the weekly shows. I don’t know if you already have one, but have you considered creating a Patreon page as a way to accept donations? Happy to contribute in a small way, as I’m sure others are, towards the cost of keeping the doors open :-). Keep up the great shows guys. Len Zielenski ————————————————————————————————————— Please pay me back for the time wasted with the long intro and the opening nonsense. Oh, and throw in a few bucks for every “Uh”. ————————————————————————————————————– LazX Hey Rocco, I wanted to give another UPDATE on LADSPA (Pulseaudio Dynamic Range Comression) aka Audio Output Normalization. Laz Instructions for the Fix ============================================================== 1) Make sure gedit is installed (sudo get-apt install gedit) 2) We need to install 3 items: (Synaptic Package Manager recommended) Pulseaudio (if not installed) pavucontrol (if not installed) swh-plugins 3)Type in konsole: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa *(nano doesn’t work) 4) Scroll to the bottom of the file “/etc/pulse/default.pa” and add the following lines: ### Pulseaudio Dynamic Range Compression .ifexists module-ladspa-sink.so .nofail load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=compressor plugin=sc4m_1916 label=sc4m control=1,1.5,401,-30,20,5,12 .fail .endif 5) Save the file and restart PC 6) Open pavucontrol and choose LADSPA output module (this may not actually look like it’s selected, but the icon of the output device should say “LADSPA stream on” 7) Then set each Application output to the LADSPA module. 8) Done. Your ears will thank you. Pass it on. ================================================================= Thank you for listening and we will see you next time
