Subject: XBMC's Thoughts On XvBA: AMD Catalyst Has Problems
It's not only NVIDIA with Linux problems that cause upstream developers to publicly bash companies, but AMD has come under scrutiny too. The developers of the popular cross-platform XBMC multimedia project shared a little story about enthusiasm, hope, and disappointment. In this guest posting by Peter Fruhberger on Phoronix, XvBA is what is principally talked about, which is AMD's lead choice for video acceleration when using their proprietary Catalyst driver. Unfortunately the XBMC developers aren't too happy about the state of video acceleration using AMD's Catalyst driver for Radeon graphics hardware, hence why they have reached out to Phoronix with this rather lengthy public message. Whether AMD even cares about Linux users and when XvBA will support missing functionality are among their open questions for AMD.

It looks pretty slick, but it's just too quirky and inconsistent (for my tastes, at least).

Like the title suggests, this will be relatively brief – mostly because Policykit isn't as difficult to understand as I originally led myself to believe.It all sprang from starting to write about how to get X11rdp/xrdp up and running on your Linux systems. Sure, getting the desktop up remotely in a fast efficient way was nice – but it soon became apparent to RDP users that not all was well – RDP users couldn't do some of the nice convenient things that local desktoip users could do.

So, at this point, despite the fact that we clearly don't want to bepart of delivering locked-down PCs to users, it looks as though we needto use a boot loader with a more liberal licence in order to protectourselves from accidents.

This is nothing official by Gnome Foundation. We are collected all the modules that Gnome is working on and we built a brainstorming tentative list of features that we want to see and we might see in about a year from now, in the second semester of 2013 or the first of 2014.

It's here! It's improved! It works even better!I call this the "ssta release", in honour of a pal of mine who made a request which I've now implemented. ( --justdoit option, see below). I have sweated and toiled, lost sleep, learned a lot, re-learned a lot, tested, tested again, and ended up with something which should work for just about everyone – everyone that is, who's users are local to the system – anyone using Active Directory to login still won't be handled by the RDPsesconfig utility yet...

FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure. This article explains how to set up vsftpd with TLS on a Debian Squeeze server.
