K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools. Codecs are required to encode and/or decode (play) audio and video. The K-Lite Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your movie files. With the K-Lite Codec Pack you should be able to play 99% of all the movies that you download from the internet.

The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs:

Get Windows 7 like task bar in Ubuntu with DocbarX

Filed under Computer tricks, Free Softwares, Linux, Open Source by on May 28, 2010 at 7:15 pm {one comment}

I personally liked the task bar of Windows 7 and wanted it in my Ubuntu as well. Not only because of it’s looks but also because of it’s features. DocbarX is exactly the same thing I was looking for. You can launch, close, mange all your windows from one place using the DocbarX. It also allows you to preview your Windows before bringing them to the front. So if you have opened multiple windows of same application, you don’t get confused between them.

Screenshot:

Installation:

1. Install python-wnck, python-gnomeapplet and python-numpy (DockbarX might be able to run without python-numpy, but it shouldn’t hurt).
$ sudo apt-get install python-gnomeapplet python-wnck python-numpy

1b. For previews libgtk2.0-0, libgx11-6 and libxcomposite1 needs to be installed (if they aren’t already). For recent and most used files you need zeitgeist. None of these are needed for DockbarX to run and can safely be ignored if you are not interested in theses features.
$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libx11-6 libxcomposite1 zeitgeist

2. Change directory to where you unpacked dockbarx and run the setup.py install
$ sudo ./setup.py install

3. Add DockBarX applet to panel (kill gnome-panel first if necessary)

You can also run dockbarx in window (meant for debugging purposes, mostly):
$dockbarx_factory.py run-in-window

The looks are pretty similar to that of MS Word 2007 so if you are already using Office 2007 then you will find this one very familiar and easy to use. The list of features is really big so can’t point them all here. You can see all the features of this great free tool at http://www.nitroreader.com/features/.

If you are not willing to pay for Adobe Reader then you must give this one a try. It is completely free and is available for Windows 32/64 bit systems.
