UNITY 8

Unity 8 in action

Ubuntu users have been hearing a lot about Unity 8 for the last couple of years but so far Unity 8 is nowhere to be seen officially. Of course, there are ways you can run Unity 8 in Ubuntu releases already but that’s the experimental way.

Ubuntu 17.04 does bring this experimental build of Unity 8. Though Unity 7 will still be the default desktop environment, you can select between Unity 7 and Unity 8 at the login screen.

You can choose between Unity 7 and Unity 8 in Ubuntu 17.04

In case you didn’t know, Unity 8 is the new version of Unity desktop of Ubuntu and it will be coupled with Ubuntu’s own Mir display server. Unity 8 is important because it brings convergence to the desktop side of Ubuntu.

Update: Unity 8 won’t be the default desktop on Ubuntu 17.04 or 17.10 or 18.04. Ubuntu Unity is dead and GNOME will be the default desktop environment starting Ubuntu 18.04.

NRCS: MOS agents and devices

There might be just one MOSAgent handling multiple MOS devices, or one MOSAgent per MOS device. First solution is less RAM consuming and also is
used when some MOS devices should work on the same ports as you can not have two or more services running on the same ports. Advantage of the
second solution is that you can start/stop or restart daemon only for one particular MOS device, but it consume more RAM. So it is up to your
preferences. The second solution is recommended.

CIFS: mounted for specified user

REF: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68079/mount-cifs-network-drive-write-permissions-and-chown

Specify the user and group ID that the mounted network share should used, this would allow that particular user and potentially group to write to the share. Add the following options to your mount: uid=,gid= and replace  and  respectively by your own user and default group.

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=${USER},password=${PASSWORD},uid=,gid= //server-address/folder /mount/path/on/ubuntu

TeamViewer vs VNC

TeamViewer is convenient but hard to managed centrally. Therefore using VNC or RDP through VPN may be better solutions when remote GUI is needed.

server HDD checks

green light on HDD trays should flash during boot, which indicates the HDD is connected properly. Otherwise, case should be opened for checking. For example, internal screw missing.
