PPA Fundas

27 Jun

For Software Developers/Providers

Personal Package Archive (PPA) service is provided for Ubuntu by Launchpad via which you can distribute software and updates directly to Ubuntu users. Create your source package, upload it and Launchpad will build binaries and then host them in your own apt repository.
Refer this link for more on how to create your own PPA to distribute software.

For Users (Like Us)

PPA (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas) can be easily used to add new sources for software not available in Software Centre.PPAs work like normal Ubuntu archives. You can install software in the usual way — for example, through apt-get or synaptic — and whenever there’s an update Ubuntu will prompt you to install it. Both the x86 & x64 architectures are supported by PPA.

Here is an example, to add the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: user/ppa-name

So pop up your Terminal and try adding few of them from below

Open Office : sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:openoffice-pkgs/ppa

Google Chrome Browser Beta : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/beta

ClamAv Antivirus : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa

Remember to run sudo apt-get update after you are done with above

Here is a look at a successfull addition via PPA


If you still feel you are bit of a Linoob just try using Ubuntu Tweak

True Combat ELITE

23 Jun

TrueCombat:Elite (TC:E) by ” Team Terminator “  & Studio Groove Six is a modification to first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is based on World War II & weapons and techniques of that time , TC:E modernizes all aesthetic elements of the game while preserving the fast-paced first person shooter style of gameplay compared to my favourite Counter Strike by Valve Corporation. Also in common with Enemy Territory, True Combat : Elite is cross-platform free software with clients for Linux,Windows & Mac OS X. TC:E remains popular and components of the game including maps and weapons are under continuous development .

TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces. Sounds cool ,isnt it :)

Game Modes :-

  1. Objective -Each player is deployed(spawns) once per round. As terrorist,  the main aim is to plant a bomb at a specified bombsite and prevent enemy from defusing it till it detonates or to kill all enemies , all this inside a specified timeline . As a special operative, one aims to prevent the terrorists from achieving their goals by killing all the terrorists or defusing their bomb.
  2. Body Count -Deployment comes in 10 second increments. Players that have been killed prior to a deployment are continuously redeployed. Yes, you can call it a deathmatch (kick ass).
  3. Capture The Flag – CTF simulates the game of capture the flag: teams try to bring a flag back to their base from across the map. Unlikely R-obj (known as Reinforced Objective) the goal is to capture as many areas (marked by flags) as possible before the time limit, or the elimination of either team.

Gameplay :-

The gameplay is multiplayer & entirely online .
