applications, ubuntu No Comments
I decided to reinstall my Ubuntu Box after some issues (My disk went full after I switched from legacy backup to Backup Vault in Jungledisk, and (I suppose) in the meantime, an automatic upgrade from ubuntu occured). So I’m listing here the softwares I’m reinstalling (hoping it will we be useless). "From apt-get" means I installed the software using the built-in installer (apt-get command line tool or synaptic), "deb From web" means I got a debian package from web, and "From web" means I couldn’t find an official package (neither ubuntu nor debian) and downloaded the soft.
- Thunderbird (from apt-get). I tried to use Evolution,
but was not convinced. Update : I use now evolution, that I found useful for its integration with others apps. But I mainly use gmail, I use Evolution only to check occasionally a mail account. - Flash (from apt-get : "flashplugin-nonfree")
- Firefox add-ons. I had no backup of my firefox folder, but it was easy with "add-on collector" + "Massive extender" add-ons.
- JungleDisk workgroup (deb from web)
- Skype (deb from web)
- Google Chrome (deb from web)
- Zend Studio 7.2 (from web)
- Blogilo (from apt-get) (I needed to install manually libqt4-sql-sqlite, unless I had a "driver not loaded" issue)
- Picasa (apt-get after config of repository)
- Filezilla (apt-get)
- Amule
(from apt-get) - VirtualBox (deb from web). The best is to add the repository : 1) add the line "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid non-free" in /etc/apt/sources.list. 2)
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -3)sudo apt-get update4)sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.1(source : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads) - VMware player (https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/p/activate.php?p=player&lp=1) to play with some cool jumpBox appliances…
Plus…
- Tomboy notes (with Ubuntu one synchro, it rocks !)
- xmind : (deb from web)
