Vinux 3. 1 Now Available Via Public FTP I have just set up a new public FTP account so that people can download Vinux iso images from the vinux. Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary 4Th Edition. FTP. The FTP links are listed on the Downloads page as United Kingdom FTP and you can download these by clicking on the links in a browser. You will be asked for a username and password, which is vinuxftp for both. This should reduce the number of problems while downloading, as FTP allows you to resume a download if the connection is broken and also allows people to download files over 2. GB This will also work with older iso images but I havent bothered to provide direct links to these as demand for these is low. If you want to use FTP to download an older version of Vinux simply add the name of the iso file you want to the following URL ftp ftp. Vinux 3. 1 Plus DVD Edition Released I have just uploaded the Vinux 3. Plus Edition to Tooldudes server for some reason it isnt possible to download files greater than 2. Atmega8 Usb To Serial. GB from this website using the HTTP protocol. This is available in both 3. GB of extra packages on top of the standard DVD version. These include a wide range of 3. D Games, Scientific, Educational and Graphics based packages which are not accessible with a screen reader, but can be used by partially sighted users with the aid of magnification andor fontcolour changes. Debian is an operating system and a distribution of Free Software. It is maintained and updated through the work of many users who volunteer their time and effort. Due to the great work of the Armbian community, we have workinprogress images for the Libre Computer Board AMLS905XCC. They released two images, one for server. Many of the games are in fact playable without magnification because they feature quite large colourful graphics. This version has something for all the family and is just as useful for both visually impaired and sighted users alike. Vinux 3. 1 USB Versions Now Available After extensive testing I have now uploaded two new versions of Vinux 3. USB pendrives. There are 2. GB and 4. GB versions which are stored as compressed. USB pendrive. To uncompress an. The 2. GB image is 1. K blocks and the 4. GB image is 3. 90. K blocks. You can check the size of your pendrive using df this will list all mounted drives including your USB pendrive at the bottom of the list. Special USB Edition of the Vinux 3. Live CD I have uploaded a specially remastered edition of the Vinux 3. Live CD for installing to USB pendrives. This was necessary because it seems that the latest version of Ubuntu boots so quickly from USB pendrives that it causes Pulse. Audio to lockup and the only way to get it back is to kill Pulse. Audio and restart it. To get around this I have inserted a 1. Pulse. Audio startup process so that this problem is avoided. However, you cannot just copy this iso image straight to a USB pendrive, it must be installed using the Startup Disk Creator application or some other packages which is designed for this purpose. You can however use this version as a standard live CD if you want, and install Vinux to a hard drive from it in the normal way. So this iso is really aimed at developers, we are hoping to release some versions of the USB Edition that can be copied straight to a pendrive by users in the next few days. Small Bug in Vinux 3. Simple Workaround I have found a small bug in the latest release however it is unlikely to affect the majority of users and there is a very simple workaround for those who are affected. Because of a minor typing error in one of the build scripts, the keybinding which was supposed to modify the multimedia keybindings in the event of the sound card being muted wasnt enabled. The workaround is simply to press AltF2, type volumekeys without the speech marks then press Enter, then press AltY and Enter again. Now you can use WindowsAltRight to unmute and raise the system volume. Just to confuse matters further, I also managed to provide completely the wrong keybindings for the new multimedia volume controls in the keybindings. So to clarify, should you need to activate the new multimedia keybindings you should use WindowsAltRightLeft to raiselower the volume and WindowsAltDown to muteunmute the volume. Vinux 3. 1 Based on Ubuntu 1. Released I am pleased to announce that Vinux 3. Vinux mirrors It is currently available as a CD or DVD in both 3. USB and Virtual versions will follow shortly. It has been a long time coming, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. On top of all the usual Vinux goodies, new features include a Quick Start Guide for beginners CtrlAltQ, Autokey GTK which can insert text automatically as you type based on pre defined abbreviation, the Parcellite Clipboard Manager which allows you paste text from the clipboard history, X Tile which allows you to tile windows automatically, Gnome Media Player as an accessible front end to VLC, Conkeror a keyboard controlled Web Browser, Pidgin the Internet Messenger with all the plugins and Gufw a simple but effective Firewall Manager.
