Hi to all,
  While we wait to go back to action stations I wanted to share this.  
The Linux Foundation

along with edX is offering this summer an Intro to Linux course for
free. This course is normally $2400(USD), folks may audit this course
or take it as an enrolled student( for certificate). Please see the
link below or visit the Linux Foundation website if interested.

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2014/03/linux-foundation-build-massive-open-online-course-program-edx

I am posting this here because a good friend sent me this information.  
I hope some of you get to attend!

RE: Mozilla Firefox-Startpage

[Dale Visser]

I tend to be extra paranoid, and set my Firefox homepage to a DuckDuckGo URL 
that specifies searches via HTTPS with the search query in the encrypted 
request body. If there was a way to set the search box to take advantage of 
this, too, I would love to know about it.

That what was i thought too. :D

But in any case, it does not hurt to have contacted the ubufox people as
well. ;-)

I'm not sure: duckduckgo comes by default as a searchengine option in
firefox? Personally, i deleted yahoo,bing,amazon from that default list
and added: ixquick (https), metager (https), firefox help and leo (a
vocabulary). Mycroft as a source of hundreds of searchengines is useful.

Also, i'm not sure if duckduckgo (when it comes with firefox by default)
is https or not.

Personally, as quoted already before, i think a mini-introduction (under
a link button) on how to add searchengines especially from the point of
view of privacy/security would be smart. Together with mentioning https
everywhere (eff.org). I think once you have installed that, any search
engine would be automatically https, given it exists as such (no need of
special installs).

Cheers.

Hello Rafael,

You need to explain more and add more details. I just read your Blog's 
Post and it is not very clear if you ask me. You need to add maybe more 
technical details and explain better for newcomers to Linux/Lubuntu and 
also for existing users :)


Someone for example was asking whether this feature will be only on 
Lubuntu 14.04 LTS or other versions? and I'm sure more Qs will come :)


Just a thought :)

PCManFM actions

[Rafael Laguna]

As you may know, PCManFM supports the use of actions or customized context
menus, as Thunar does. A nice repository for PCManFM was created at the
blog (thanks to Vasian). If you want to share scripts / actions, you're
welcome.

What I know is that duckduckgo is usually a way to get to it by default in
firefox on the right hand side There is a drop down menu where you can
select duckduckgo by defualt. Duckduckgo by default is also useful because
of the ! commands.

Hi Lubuntu Team,

I wondered if lxsession-default-apps would be opened for translations 
before the 14.04 LTS release ?

Sorry I found it on Pootle, in LXSession project.

I would do so, but where do i find them?

TIA


+1 to duckduckgo!
You don't necessarily need to contact ubufox people, can't Lubuntu 
bundle a different start page?

I though that was one of the options when customizing a build of Ubuntu.
We could, actually build a page that contains those search engines 
(both) and uses the Lubuntu logo, right?
