EA Starts Publishing Games in Ubuntu Software Center
EA is one of the most established names in the world of gaming. They
have just published two of their browser based games - Lord of Ultima
and Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances - in Ubuntu Software
Center. May not be their greatest of games but still, EA took some
effort to actually publish some of its games in Ubuntu Software Center. I
consider this as a welcome move and hopefully a sign of things to
come.
EA Publishes Two of its Browser Based Games in Ubuntu Software Center
EA may not be the kind of company that everyone love. AS a matter of fact, EA was named America's worst company in a recent consumerist survey.
But they are definitely big. And their recognition of Ubuntu (and
Linux) as a viable platform for playing games can help Ubuntu and Linux
community in general, in more ways than one. I know of a number of
people who are still using Windows solely for playing games. If more
genuine games slowly starts finding its place in Ubuntu Software Center,
it is going to be a big win for the entire Linux community.
As you can also see, both the games are pretty highly rated in Ubuntu
Software Center already. And they are both free too. Like most of you, I
really want to believe that these are just testing-the-water phase of
things and more ingenious and native games from EA are on its way. Let
us all hope for a favorable outcome.
Slow or Erratic Wi-Fi in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? Try Wicd
Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Wi-Fi connection has become a
pain in the neck. In my laptop, though the network-manager detects my
router and easily connects to it through Wi-Fi, internet connection
itself was really slow and erratic. On the other hand, Wi-Fi connection
itself started dropping very often in my netbook.
Slow Internet Over Wi-Fi Issue in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Both my the laptop and netbook had Wi-Fi speed and connectivity related
issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and above (netbook is running
Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 1). Either Wi-Fi kept dropping or it became painfully
slow. I had to do all kinds of stuff to reconnect it again and
sometimes, even a full system restart won't make it connect to Wi-Fi. Then I came to know about Wicd from this reddit thread. All the time I was thinking like this is some sort of issue caused by faulty network driver, never did I suspect Ubuntu's default Network Manager itself. So I decided to give Wicd (an alternate network manager available in default Ubuntu 12.04 repositories) a try. I installed Wicd and removed network-manager afterwards. Much to my amazement, everything started to work great afterwards.
How to Fix Slow/Erratic Wi-Fi Problem in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
- First, you need to install Wicd from Ubuntu Software Center.
- CLICK HERE to install Wicd network manager from Ubuntu Software Center.
- After Wicd installation is complete, search for 'network-manager' in Ubuntu Software Center and remove it before going any further.
- Now, open Wicd from Unity Dash (see screenshot above). Wicd will automatically detect the available networks around. Simply enter the credentials and CONNECT.
- And when you tick "Automatically connect to this network" option, Wicd will be added to your Startup Applications list. And you're good to go.
- OR if you prefer command line, all you need to do is the following:
sudo apt-get install wicd sudo apt-get purge network-manager
If this is indeed a network-manager related issue, I wonder how such a serious problem went unnoticed for a long-term support (LTS) release. I hope it gets fixed soon. Until then, you can always use Wicd. Thanks for reading.
