Insync: Google Drive Client For Linux (Beta 2 Released, DEB And RPM Packages Available For Download)



insync appindicator

Insync is a Google Drive client for Mac, Windows and mobile devices that recently got support for Linux (beta).

Besides full sync support for Google's cloud storage service, Google Drive, which includes Google documents (unlike Grive) that it downloads as .doc, .xls, .ppt, etc., Insync for Linux also comes with Nautilus integration, tray / Ubuntu AppIndicator support that displays recent changes, errors and the sync status and support for multiple accounts.

Insync Beta 2 for Linux was released today, bringing .deb and .rpm packages, so the installation should be a lot easier now. Besides this, beta 2 also brings various fixes and improvements:
  • fixes unicode issues
  • faster inotify
  • faster set emblems (using ctypes)
  • faster startup
  • icon and .desktop file

Update: just one day after beta 2, Insync for Linux beta 3 was released:
  • fixes unicode issues (finally!)
  • date format bug fixed
  • adding new directories - warn on errors instead of fail
  • deb depends on: libappindicator3-1, xdotool, nautilus, python-nautilus
  • fixes 32bit deb not working with older ubuntu's


Using Insync for Linux


Once installed, launch Insync from Dash / the menu. A new tab will open in your default browser, asking you to log in to Insync using your Google Account and link your computer to Insync / Google Drive.

After this, a new folder called "Insync" will be created in your home folder. In this folder, a directory with your Gmail email address is created, where your Google Drive files are synced / stored. If you add multiple accounts (from the AppIndicator: Account Information > Add New Account), you'll have multiple folders here, each using the account's email address:

insync nautilus

Right clicking your Google Drive files in Nautilus, you can select to get a sharable link or open the file in Google Drive:

insync nautilus

The Recent Changes and Versions menu items you see in the screenshot above haven't been implemented yet, and should be available with Insync 1.0.


Currently, there's no GUI way of re-linking your computer so if you've accidentally unlinked your computer from Insync, to link it again close Insync, then run the following command in a terminal:
rm -r ~/.config/Insync
Then start Insync and the page which links Insync with your computer should open in your default browser.


Download Insync for Linux


Insync Beta 2 for Linux is available as .deb and .rpm and you can download it using the direct links below:

DEB:

RPM:

In case the links don't work anymore, see the Insync beta 3 announcement HERE.

If you've previously installed Insync beta 1, to clean up you need to remove the Nautilus extension (which is now installed in a different location sync Insync Beta 2/3 installs globally) using the following command:
rm ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/insync_plugin.py

If you encounter bugs, report them HERE.

Reproducir Full-HD con VLC

Antes que nada aclaro que no van a poder ver CUALQUIER VIDEO en Full-HD. Depende mucho el bitrate. Probé con varios trailers y anda bien, pero videos de mayor bitrate van a seguir dando saltos. El problema insalvable es que el procesador Intel Atom N270 a 1.6ghz no tiene el poder de proceso necesario para poder ver sin problemas videos más pesados. Con probar de todas formas no se pierde nada, así que empecemos: Abrimos VLC . Nos dirigimos al menú Tools y Preferences. Abajo a la izquierda donde dice Show Settings cliqueamos en All . A la izquierda nos metemos en Input / Codecs > Video-codecs > FFmpeg . A la derecha tildamos Allow speed tricks , y donde dice Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding , seleccionamos All. Abajo de eso, tildamos Hardware Decoding. Les quedaría así:

Heimdall: Odin Alternative That Runs On Linux (Tool To Flash ROMs On Samsung Galaxy S Devices)

Heimdall is a cross-platform (runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX), open source Odin alternative which uses the same protocol as Odin to interact with a device in download mode, that can be used to flash Android ROMs or Kernels onto Samsung Galaxy S phones. The application officially supports Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8GB) from UK and Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16GB) from Australia, but users have reported that it also works with the Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, Mesmerize, Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Infuse 4G, GT-I9000T, Galaxy Tab (7 and 10.1 inches), Galaxy S II, and the international GT-I9000. And indeed, at least for Samsung Galaxy S II, I can confirm that Heimdall works as I've tested it myself. Before using Heimdall, remember that flashing has the potential to brick your phone so use it carefully! Flashing ROMs onto your device may also void your warranty! For the steps required to flash an Android ROM from Linux onto your Samsung device using Hei...
