Ubuntu Plays With the iPhone

Threads began popping out of the Ubuntu Forums yesterday about iPhone users able to use their phones with Rhythmbox and Ubuntu. iPhone owners charge their devices and Ubuntu automatically recognize the contents as photos or music/audio files.

Is this something that came with the kernel upgrade? So shall Linux? So will Ubuntu...but I'm pretty sure Apple won't.

If this becomes a permanent feature then the devs should be congratulated for solving a major hurdle. Newbies always ask if they can sync their ipods and iphones with Ubuntu. Answering "yes" to that seems strange for now.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
