Boxee trasforma Ubuntu in un mediacenter sociale
Questo post è di accompagnamento al 40° episodio del podcast Tecnica Arcana. Se non sai cosa sia Boxee, perché è rivoluzionarlo e perché potresti voler dedicare un computer a questa applicazione, ti consiglio di ascoltare la trasmissione prima di proseguire la lettura.
Boxee è un meraviglioso esempio di come grandi innovazioni possano nascere dal basso e con il supporto di infrastrutture open source.
Tuttavia per trasformare una comune installazione di Ubuntu in avanzatissimo mediacenter sono necessari alcuni accorgimenti. Questo post non è esaustivo e non rappresenta una soluzione ottima, ma racconta solo la configurazione presente sulla mia installazione di Boxee Beta + Ubuntu 9.10.
1) Start Up
Se dedichiamo un pc all'uso di Boxee, il comportamento che probabilmente vogliamo ottenere deve essere simile a quello di un set-top-box. All'accensione del computer, vogliamo arrivare subito all'interfaccia del media center.
- Login Automatico.
Probabilmente non vorrete vedere sul televisione la schermata di GDM che vi chiede nome utente e password per accedere ad Ubuntu. Si può impostare il login automatico per un utente predefinito in fase di installazione. Se utilizzate una installazione già esistente, le opzioni di login sono disponibili nel menù Sistema->Amministrazione->Schermata di Accesso.
A questo punto selezionate "Accedere come" ed il relativo account.
- Avvio automatico di Boxee
Dal momento che non vorrete usare un mouse in poltrona, anche Boxee deve partire automaticamente appena compare il desktop.
La lista dei programmi avviati automaticamente si trova in Sistema->Preferenze->Applicazioni d'Avvio
Ora potete cliccare su "Aggiungi" e compilare la casella in questo modo:
Il nome dell'applicazione è "Boxee", il comando è /opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop. Se lo desiderate aggiungete un commento. Il comando, ovvero il percorso e il nome dell'eseguibile lo si determina facilmente dall'editor del menù di GNOME (Sistema->Preferenze->Menù Principale).
A questo punto, quando accendete il PC, Ubuntu farà il login automatico, e pochi secondi dopo il caricamento avvierà automaticamente Boxee.
2) Ottimizzazione
- Disabilitare Compiz
Non solo Compiz è inutile in questa particolare configurazione, ma può essere dannoso. Alcuni driver video mal digeriscono la sua presenza in concomitanza con altre applicazioni accelerate OpenGL, come Boxee. Impostare su "Nessuno" gli effetti visivi (Sistema->Preferenze->Aspetto->Effetti Visivi).
- Disabilitare l'esplorazione dei media.
Probabilmente vi capiterà presto di usare Boxee per visualizzare contenuti da un supporto removibile, come una penna USB, un HD esterno o una scheda di memoria. Di default Ubuntu apre a pop up una finestra di navigazione di Nautilus, dopo aver montato un media estraibile, comportamento che implica problemi. Vogliamo mantenere l'automount ma disabilitare la finestra.
Aprite un'istanza di Nautilus, ad esempio la cartella HOME (Risorse->Cartella home) e seguite i seguenti passi: Modifica->Preferenze->Supporti.
In questa schermata abilitate "Non chiedere conferma..." e disabilitate "Esplorare i supporti quando inseriti" così:
Così dovreste avere una Boxee Box su Ubuntu con una buona configurazione di base.

So what is the best time to take an early pregnancy test.

Raj Mallipeddi says the pale skin pair has good celebrity pull with tweens and will ultimately help to reduce cancer rates.
It is also an option to choose a popular London salon although you may need to secure a booking ahead of time.
It is known that everything has it advantages and disadvantages including spray tanning.
So before using a particular London salon it is worthwhile to see whether the staff employed there
have the correct qualifications and public liability insurance.
In addition to this life threatening condition, there are lesser skin problems caused by
overexposure to the sun. There are different extreme body exfoliator
obtainable and a number of them are just like spray tan machines
and there’s also a spray equipment exists which
you’ll want to fix it in your clean upwards shower to be able to spray the organic spray tan solution over your own skins external surface to get a bronze
shine. Depending on how much you perspire and how frequently you hit the pool or the shower,
your sunless spray tan can fade away in as much as three days.
It is important to do any waxing at least twenty four
hours or so in advance of applying any tan (fortunately,
you will likely know about any big days or nights in advance so you
will be able to do so) as not only will waxing afterwards remove
the tan you have applied, waxing can also lead to dark dots on the skin which can collect the tan in the
follicles: needless to say ’spotty’ is not top of
the list when it comes to beach body requirements. Sunless tanning came into the picture when the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays of the
sun were discovered and people started fearing overexposure
to it. This allows for a bit more privacy during a session.

A good place to start is by choosing the method of cabinet construction first:
