== In The Blogosphere ==

 

=== Ubuntu's Unity Decision Affects 2D Performance Too ===

 

Michael Larabel of Phoronix talks about the decision to remove the 2D

Unity environment from Ubuntu, and what that means for users,

particularly those running older systems. Benchmarks included.

 

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_unity2d_2dperf&num=1

 

=== Ubuntu 12.10 Pushes Sandy Bridge Further ===

 

Michael Larabel of Phoronix shares new benchmark data comparing Ubuntu

12.04 to 12.10, showing nearly across the board improvements using

Intel graphics cards and OpenGL. These improvements are due, in part,

to enhancements made across the stack as well as in Unity and Compiz.

=== Ubuntu Server Plans to Move Away From 32-Bit Computing ===

 

The Var Guy reports that according to release notes for the upcoming

12.10 version of Ubuntu Server, 32-bit systems will no longer be

supported, at least not on the live-image installs. Support for 32-bit

will remain on the Minimum Install CD and netboot, as will support for

32-bit applications.

=== Coverflow Returns to Unity in Ubuntu 12.10 ===

 

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that "coverflow" views, which was

due to ship as part of Ubuntu 12.04, has been added to Unity's

development branch for Ubuntu 12.10. Sneddon explains that this view

allows one to browse items by dragging them horizontally with the

mouse, rather than the usual 'drop down, vertical' approach currently

used in Unity.

 

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/coverflow-view-returns-to-unity

 

=== Gnome Online Accounts To Ship By Default In Ubuntu 12.10 ===

 

Saurav Modak of Muktware shares details about Gnome Online Accounts, a

new project integrating online services with many different desktop

applications. Ubuntu developers are working to better integrate these

services within Unity. As a result of this effort, Ubuntu 12.10 will

ship Gnome Online Accounts by default.

 

http://www.muktware.com/4218/online-accounts-ship-default-ubuntu-1210

 

=== Ubuntu 12.10 Will Ship With Older Version of Nautilus ===

 

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! reports that the latest Nautilus 3.5.x

will not include the popular type-ahead and split-pane views. These

changes, as well as a streamlined UI redesign, required Ubuntu to

stick with an older, but more feature rich version of Nautilus for

Ubuntu 12.10. The newer version of Nautilus will be available in the

repositories.
