Ubuntu Podcast #18
GA LoCo, Podcast, UbuntuPodcast January 24th, 2009
In this episode #18:
- Of course the Dell and college student story
- Ubuntu hard drive “killer” bug gets fixed
- Differences between Ubuntu and Debian users
- An interview with Jorge Castro
Thanks to Jorge for taking the time to do this. He covers a lot of areas, like the Global Bug Jam, Ubuntu and social networking, and Ubuntu and Debian getting along.
I will point out the video and audio for Jorge’s interview doesn’t sync up well at all. We recorded the interview with Skype, its kinda surprising how bad the tools are for recording video with it. We promise to do better next time!
We dent and tweet out when we are about to stream live. If you want to know when that happens, follow http://twitter.com/ubuntupodcast or http://identi.ca/ubuntupodcast.

Adobe Air 1.5 Released For Linux (how to install air on ubuntu)
Linux Applications, Ubuntu Desktop December 18th, 2008
Adobe released 1.5 version of their Air application for Linux. Adobe Air, is an application hybrid of the sorts that mesh’s the desktop application with a web application. I have been using Air to run twitter, however there are a slew of other applications that run on Air. Give it a try and see how slick it is. Get Air
One other note, Adobe will now be releasing Air like flash at the same time for Mac, Windows, and Linux users at the same time for future releases. Rock On!
To Install Adobe Air on Ubuntu Linux 8.10, follow this:
Download Adobe Air: http://get.adobe.com/air/
It will download “AdobeAirInstaller.bin” to your default location. For me it downloaded to my desktop. Open a terminal:
Applications > Accessories > Terminal
$cd /home/user/Desktop (replace “user” with your userID)
To make sure we can install it, you can check the permissions, or just make it writable:
$chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (this makes the file executable by the user)
Now install
$./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
This will generate the installer process, you will see the following screens. Since I had an older verison already installed, I am prompted to “update”, yours might just say “install”.
Voila, now you can go to a site like http://www.twhirl.org/ which is a twitter application that runs on AIR and simply click the “install now”.
Enjoy !

“the” linux podcast Episode #1
LC News, Linux & OSS News, Podcast, Videocast October 30th, 2008
The Linux Podcast
So, I am now doing a new Podcast “don’t worry, ubuntu podcast will live on” with Nick Ali also known as boredandblogging. This podcast is everything about Linux, technology, gaming, cigars, and whatever we feel like reviewing really. It has a heavy focus on Linux and Open Source news in general. This is similar to what I was doing the with the Linuxcryp podcasts. Those will resume at a later date but more as tutorial based podcasts. I hope you all enjoy the new show, we are planning to stick to the same release cycle as we do forr Ubuntu Podcast.
Here is the site, add the RSS to your favorite podcasting apps!
