How To Get Flash And H 264 To Work In Vivaldi Browser Ubuntu Linux Mint

Vivaldi 1.0 stable was released today and if you gave it a try, you might have noticed, at least on a fresh Ubuntu installation, that Flash and H.264 dont work out of the box.

Heres how to get Adobe Flash and H.264 (used, for instance, by the YouTube HTML5 player) to work with Vivaldi browser, in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives.

Get Vivaldi browser to support H.264

Before installing "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra"

After installing "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra"

To enable H.264 support for Vivaldi in Ubuntu, you need to install a package called "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra".

This is already available if Chromium browser is installed on your system. If you dont have Chromium browser, you can install the package that provides H.264 support by using the following command:

sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

And restart Vivaldi.

You can check if your browser supports H.264 by visiting the YouTube HTML5 page.

Get Adobe Flash working in Vivaldi Browser

Important note: since Google Chrome is now only available for 64bit on Linux, it means that its Pepper Flash plugin is also only available on 64bit. So the instructions below only work on 64bit! Flash might work on Vivaldi 32bit if you have an old Google Chrome for 32bit installed, but it wont receive any updates so you shouldnt use it.

Vivaldi supports the Google Chrome built-in Pepper Flash plugin, but it doesnt come bundled with it. If you have Google Chrome installed on your system, Vivaldi should already be using its Pepper Flash plugin, so theres nothing you need to do.

If Google Chrome is not installed on your system, to get Vivaldi browser to use the Google Chrome Pepper Flash plugin, you can install a package called "pepperflashplugin-nonfree".

The package is available in Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, 14.10 and 16.04 / Linux Mint 17.x and derivatives and you can install it by using the following command:

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Then restart Vivaldi. Thats it!

Update: the bug that caused pepperflashplugin-nonfree not to work in Ubuntu 16.04 was fixed.

Extra tip:

If Google Chrome is installed, Vivaldi will automatically pick up its Widevine Content Decryption plugin (it comes with a symbolic link to the location of the libwidevinecdm.so plugin in the Google Chrome stable installation folder).

If you dont want to install Google Chrome and you need this plugin, you can extract libwidevinecdm.so from the Google Chrome deb and place it in /opt/vivaldi/, replacing the existing symbolic link.

thanks to B.Jay for the tip!

How To Change The Mouse Scroll Wheel Speed In Linux Using imwheel Quick Tip

Ive never actually needed to modify the mouse scroll wheel speed until recently, when I got a new mouse and I wanted to change the scroll wheel settings. Thats when I noticed theres no such option in Unity / GNOME Control Center.

I searched for ways to change this under Linux and the easiest to use seems to be "imwheel", a command line tool that can be used to tweak the mouse wheel behavior and which, among others, can change the scroll speed of the mouse wheel, and I decided to share the information with you.

Heres what you need to do to change the scroll speed of the mouse wheel if your desktop environment doesnt have an option for this:

1. Install imwheel. Since the app is available in the official Ubuntu repositories, you can install using Synaptic, Ubuntu Software Center, etc. or use the following command to install it:

sudo apt-get install imwheel

2. Next, create a file called ".imwheelrc" in your home directory - Ill use Gedit in the command below to open this file:

gedit ~/.imwheelrc

And in this file, paste the following:

".*"
None, Up, Button4, 3
None, Down, Button5, 3
Control_L, Up, Control_L|Button4
Control_L, Down, Control_L|Button5
Shift_L, Up, Shift_L|Button4
Shift_L, Down, Shift_L|Button5

"3" at the end of lines two and three represent the number of lines to scroll ("3" should be default) - modify this number to suit your needs. Once youre done, save the file.

The first (".*") line from the code used above represents is used to specify in which applications to use those settings. ".*" means everywhere, but you can also apply application-specific settings by changing ".*" to the window name (and add multiple application-dependent settings). Run "man imwheel" for more information.

And finally, the last 4 lines in the code above are there to allow Ctrl / Shift with mouse scroll wheel up / down to work (for instance, to allow zooming in on a webpage in the web browser, etc.), which is the default behaviour.

3. Start "imwheel" (type "imwheel" in a terminal). Important note: make sure you dont run multiple imwheel instances (if you want to stop any previous instances, run the following command: "killall imwheel")!

Also, if you have back / forward navigation buttons on your mouse, they will stop working using the configuration weve used above. In such cases, you should launch imwheel like this:

imwheel -b "4 5"

... and the back / forward buttons should work (thanks to biohazara for the tip!).

4. Since these settings are only applied when imwheel is running, you should add imwheel to startup (if you use Unity, to do this, open Startup Applications, click "Add" and under both "Name" and "Command" fields, add "imwheel"). Also, like I mentioned above, if you have back / forward mouse navigation buttons, use the following command instead of simply running "imwheel" or else those buttons wont work: imwheel -b "4 5"

Its important to mention that imwheel applies the settings available in ~/.imwheelrc when the application starts and it doesnt update when changing the configuration file. So if you modify the configuration file, youll need to close imwheel and start it again to apply / test the changes (you can close/kill it using the following command: "killall imwheel").

Notes:

this will most probably not fix issues such as very fast scrolling, if you encounter such an issue, you can try unplugging and then plugging the mouse back (from what Ive read, that seems to solve the issue in most cases);
if you only want to change the scroll wheel speed in Firefox and Chrome, you can do this from within the app or using an extension: Firefox | Chrome, etc.

How To Download YouTube Video As Mp3 in Windows Mac Linux IOS Android Symbian or Any Other Platform

As all we know YouTube is the largest video sharing website where uploads many movies, songs, etc. in every instant. You may watch many songs on YouTube and may wish to save it for listening later. To download YouTube videos there are many third party softwares available for every platform and most of the apps are capable of saving to video formats only. If you download a song, it could be better if it gets as mp3 format which saves our Smartphone battery more than video playback.

In this post I included the instruction to download YouTube video as mp3 without installing any third party apps. There are many websites does it, but I prefer video2mp3.net because of many reasons.

video2mp3.net is one of the best rated YouTube to mp3 converting website, which allow us to convert unlimited number of YouTube videos to mp3 without losing any quality. The websites responsive interface makes the browsing faster and simpler in both PC and mobile devices.

How To Get A Unity Like HUD Searchable Menu In Xubuntu Ubuntu MATE Linux Mint More

Youre probably familiar with the Unity HUD, or Head-Up Display, which lets you search through and applications menu. Thanks to Rafael Bocquets i3-hud-menu (and J.A. McNaughtons fork), you can use this menu search feature in pretty much any desktop environment (and in any Linux distribution in which you can install unity-gtk-module).

i3-hud-menu allows searching and navigating through an applications menu using the keyboard, with the use of dmenu (dmenu doesnt have mouse support by default). Heres how it looks like in Xubuntu 16.04:

And in Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon:

i3-hud-menu works with GTK2, GTK3 (but not client-side decorated apps) and Qt4 applications.

The tool is buggy with Qt5 applications as well as LibreOffice - see the limitations / issues section below for more information.

Important: issues and limitations

i3-hud-menu has quite a few issues / limitations but I decided to post an article about it anyway since some of you might still find it useful.

Also, Im hoping someone reading this article might be able to fix or at least come up with some workarounds for some of the issues below. If you do, please let us know in the comments!

i3-hud-menu limitations / issues:

it doesnt work with client-side decorated applications;
it doesnt work with Firefox or Thunderbird;
it doesnt work with Qt5 apps (make sure appmenu-qt5 and libdbusmenu-qt5 are not installed or else you wont have a menu for Qt5 apps, such as VLC in Ubuntu 16.04 - if you do install those packages, you can use the menu via i3-hud-menu, but the actual menu wont be visible in the application);
using it, LibreOffice no longer has a menu if the "libreoffice-gtk" package is installed - this package is used for GTK+ integration (though using i3-hud-menu, you can search the menu, but actually using the menu items doesnt work for some reason);
to get i3-hud-menu to work with Java swing applications, youll need JAyatana;
probably more.

It appears that the LibreOffice and the Qt5 applications issue occur because "APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1" is not respected. Furthermore, using "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=" (for example, using "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= libreoffice --writer") or blacklisting it via Dconf Editor (com > canonical > unity-gtk-module > blacklist) doesnt get the LibreOffice menu to show up.

On Arch Linux (possibly in other Linux distributions as well), which requires the unity-gtk-module-standalone-bzr package, you need to run the following command (or change this via Dconf Editor: com > canonical > unity-gtk-module, set gtk2-shell-shows-menubar to "false") and reboot to ensure that menus are displayed in GTK applications:

gsettings set com.canonical.unity-gtk-module gtk2-shell-shows-menubar false

Install and configure i3-hud-menu

Important note: I included exact instructions for Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Linux Mint Cinnamon edition, but this should work with any Ubuntu or Linux Mint flavor (14.04 and newer only). It may also work in other Linux distributions, as long as you can install unity-gtk-module and appmenu-qt.

1. Install the required dependencies: python3, python-dbus, dmenu, appmenu-qt and unity-gtk-module.

In Ubuntu (14.04 and newer), use the following command (will also install "wget", required under step 2):

sudo apt install python3 python-dbus dmenu appmenu-qt unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module wget

2. Download and install i3-hud-menu

To download and install J.A. McNaughtons i3-hud-menu fork from the command line, use the following commands:

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/jamcnaughton/i3-hud-menu/archive/master.tar.gz
tar -xvf master.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /opt/i3-hud-menu
sudo cp -r i3-hud-menu-master/* /opt/i3-hud-menu/

If you want to install it yourself, grab the code from GitHub (but note that the instructions below assume that youve installed i3-hud-menu in /opt/i3-hud-menu/)

3. Load the Unity gtk module

Open ~/.profile with a text editor (".profile" is a hidden file in your home folder so use Ctrl + H to see hidden files in your gile manager), paste the following at the end of the file:

export APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1
if [ -n "$GTK_MODULES" ]
then
 GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:unity-gtk-module"
else
 GTK_MODULES="unity-gtk-module"
fi

if [ -z "$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" ]
then
 UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=1
fi 

export GTK_MODULES
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY

... and save the file.

If after completing all the steps below, i3-hud-menu doesnt work, you can try to paste the lines above in ~/.bashrc instead of ~/.profile.

4. Add i3-appmenu-service.py to startup

The next step is to add i3-appmenu-service.py to the system startup. If youve installed i3-hud-menu using the commands above, this file should be located in /opt/i3-hud-menu/

Xubuntu: To add i3-appmenu-service.py to startup, launch Session and Startup from the menu / System Settings, and on the "Application Autostart" tab click "Add", enter "i3 menu service" under "Name", and "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-appmenu-service.py" (without the quotes) under "Command":

Ubuntu MATE: launch Control Center and open Startup Applications, click "Add", use "i3 menu service" under "Name", and "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-appmenu-service.py" (without the quotes) under "Command", and click "Add":

Linux Mint (Cinnamon): launch Startup Applications from the menu, click Add > Custom Command, use "i3 menu service" under "Name", and "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-appmenu-service.py" (without the quotes) under "Command", and click "Add":

5. Assign a keyboard shortcut to i3-hud-menu.py

The keyboard shortcut you assign to i3-hud-menu.py will be used to open i3-hud-menu and search through an applications menu. Heres how to configure it in some Ubuntu flavors and Linux Mint (Cinnamon).

Xubuntu: open "Keyboard" from the menu / System Settings, and on the "Application Shortcuts" tab, click "Add". Use "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-hud-menu.py" (without the quotes; if youve installed i3-hud-menu to a different location, make sure you use the correct path) for the command, click "OK:

... and assign it a keyboard shortcut:

You can even use "Alt", like in Ubuntu (with Unity), but I dont recommend it as you wont be able to use other shortcuts that use Alt. You can use something like Alt + 1 or any other keyboard shortcut thats not already in use.

Ubuntu MATE: from Control Center open Keyboard Shortcuts, click "Add", under "Name" enter "i3-hud-menu" (without the quotes), and use "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-hud-menu.py" (without the quotes; if youve installed i3-hud-menu to a different location, make sure you use the correct path) for "Command":

... and assign it a keyboard shortcut. Note that unlike Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE doesnt allow assigning Alt as a shortcut. You can use something like Alt + 1 or whatever other keyboard shortcut you want, but make sure its not already in use.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon): launch Keyboard from the menu, click "Add custom shortcut", enter "i3-hud-menu" (without the quotes) under "Name", "/opt/i3-hud-menu/i3-hud-menu.py" (without the quotes; if youve installed i3-hud-menu to a different location, make sure you use the correct path) under "Command" and click "Add":

... and assign it a keyboard shortcut.

6. And finally, restart the session (logout/login), focus an application and use the keyboard shortcut you set in step 5 to open i3-hud-menu.

Hamachi Linux GUI Haguichi 1 3 0 Released With New UI

Haguichi, a Hamachi GUI for Linux, was updated to version 1.3.0 and with this release, the app has migrated from Mono and GTK2 to Vala and GTK 3 and uses a completely revamped user interface.

With the port to GTK3 (GTK 3.14 is required and thus, it needs Ubuntu 15.04 or newer), Haguichi has switched to using client side decorations however, desktops that dont fully support CSD, like Unity, are still supported and in such cases, a classic titlebar is displayed along with a toolbar (which has replaced the menu):

Just like in the previous releases, an AppIndicator is provided as an optional package.

Haguichi 1.3.0 also includes HiDPI support, a flexible layout (the UI adapts dynamically to the window size - see first two screenshots above), a sidebar that shows details and actions for the selected network or member, and a new logo.

Other changes in Haguichi 1.3.0:

added short text to empty network list on how to add a network;
added symbolic application and panel icons for adwaita-icon-theme;
commands that don’t actually exist are not shown as member action any more;
unicode characters are now used for ellipsis and quotation marks;
changed autostart .desktop file installation path back to /usr/etc/xdg/autostart;
dropped support for Hamachi version 2.1.0.81 and older;
removed deprecated status icon;
updated translations.

Along with this release, the Haguichi website was completely redesigned and a T-shirt campaign was launched.

For those not familiar with Hamachi, this is a zero-configuration virtual private network app, capable of establishing direct links between computers that are behind NAT firewalls without requiring reconfiguration (in most cases). Basically, the app establishes a connection over the Internet that emulates the connection that would exist if the computers were connected over a local area network.

Install Haguichi in Ubuntu or Linux Mint via PPA

To add the official Haguichi PPA and install the app in Ubuntu or Linux Mint (important note: the latest Haguichi 1.3.0 is only available for Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 because it requires GTK 3.14+; for older Ubuntu versions, Haguichi 1.0.26 will be installed, which uses Mono and GTK2), use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/haguichi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install haguichi

To install the Haguichi Unity AppIndicator (it should be installed automatically with Haguichi, but Im adding this in case youre using an Ubuntu-based distro that doesnt install recommended packages by default, like Linux Mint), use the following command:

- for Ubuntu 15.04 and newer:

sudo apt-get install haguichi-indicator

- for Ubuntu 14.04 or 12.04:

sudo apt-get install haguichi-appindicator

Report any bugs you may find @ Launchpad.
