BARGRAPH WIDGET
v2.1 by wlourf (07 Jan. 2011)
this widget draws a bargraph with different effects 
http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2010/07/bargraph-widget.html
 
To call the script in a conky, use, before TEXT
 lua_load /home/akubuntu/conkyJed/bargraph.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre main_rings
and add one line (blank or not) after TEXT
 
Parameters are :
3 parameters are mandatory
name - the name of the conky variable to display, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write name="cpu"
arg  - the argument of the above variable, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write arg="cpu0"
       arg can be a numerical value if name=""
max  - the maximum value the above variable can reach, for example, for {$cpu cpu0}, just write max=100
 
Optional parameters:
x,y   - coordinates of the starting point of the bar, default = middle of the conky window
cap   - end of cap line, ossibles values are r,b,s (for round, butt, square), default="b"
     http://www.cairographics.org/samples/set_line_cap/
angle   - angle of rotation of the bar in degress, default = 0 (i.e. a vertical bar)
     set to 90 for an horizontal bar
skew_x   - skew bar around x axis, default = 0
skew_y   - skew bar around y axis, default = 0
blocks    - number of blocks to display for a bar (values >0) , default= 10
height   - height of a block, default=10 pixels
width   - width of a block, default=20 pixels
space   - space between 2 blocks, default=2 pixels
angle_bar - this angle is used to draw a bar on a circular way (ok, this is no more a bar !) default=0
radius   - for cicular bars, internal radius, default=0
     with radius, parameter width has no more effect.

Colours below are defined into braces {colour in hexadecimal, alpha}
fg_colour    - colour of a block ON, default= {0x00FF00,1}
bg_colour    - colour of a block OFF, default = {0x00FF00,0.5}
alarm      - threshold, values after this threshold will use alarm_colour colour , default=max
alarm_colour - colour of a block greater than alarm, default=fg_colour
smooth      - (true or false), create a gradient from fg_colour to bg_colour, default=false 
mid_colour   - colours to add to gradient, with this syntax {position into the gradient (0 to1), colour hexa, alpha}
        for example, this table {{0.25,0xff0000,1},{0.5,0x00ff00,1},{0.75,0x0000ff,1}} will add
        3 colours to gradient created by fg_colour and alarm_colour, default=no mid_colour
led_effect   - add LED effects to each block, default=no led_effect
        if smooth=true, led_effect is not used
        possibles values : "r","a","e" for radial, parallel, perdendicular to the bar (just try!)
        led_effect has to be used with theses colours :
fg_led      - middle colour of a block ON, default = fg_colour
bg_led      - middle colour of a block OFF, default = bg_colour
alarm_led    - middle colour of a block > ALARM,  default = alarm_colour

reflection parameters, not available for circular bars
reflection_alpha  - add a reflection effect (values from 0 to 1) default = 0 = no reflection
      other values = starting opacity
reflection_scale  - scale of the reflection (default = 1 = height of text)
reflection_length - length of reflection, define where the opacity will be set to zero
      values from 0 to 1, default =1
reflection   - position of reflection, relative to a vertical bar, default="b"
      possibles values are : "b","t","l","r" for bottom, top, left, right
draw_me        - if set to false, text is not drawn (default = true or 1)
      it can be used with a conky string, if the string returns 1, the text is drawn :
      example : "${if_empty ${wireless_essid wlan0}}${else}1$endif",

v1.0 (10 Feb. 2010) original release
v1.1 (13 Feb. 2010) numeric values can be passed instead conky stats with parameters name="", arg = numeric_value 
v1.2 (28 Feb. 2010) just renamed the widget to bargraph
v1.3 (03 Mar. 2010) added parameters radius & angle_bar to draw the bar in a circular way
v2.0 (12 Jul. 2010) rewrite script + add reflection effects and parameters are now set into tables
v2.1 (07 Jan. 2011) Add draw_me parameter and correct memory leaks, thanks to "Creamy Goodness"

The ring lua

--[[ RINGS with SECTORS widget
 v1.1 by wlourf (07 Jan. 2011)
 this widget draws a ring with differents effects 
 http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2010/08/rings-sectors-widgets.html
 
To call the script in a conky, use, before TEXT
 lua_load /path/to/the/script/rings.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre main_rings
and add one line (blank or not) after TEXT


Parameters are :
3 parameters are mandatory
name  - the name of the conky variable to display,
     for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write name="cpu"
arg   - the argument of the above variable,
     for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write arg="cpu0"
       arg can be a numerical value if name=""
max   - the maximum value the above variable can reach,
     for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write max=100
 
Optional parameters:
xc,yc  - coordinates of the center of the ring,
     default = middle of the conky window
radius  - external radius of the ring, in pixels,
     default = quarter of the width of the conky window
thickness - thickness of the ring, in pixels, default = 10 pixels
start_angle - starting angle of the ring, in degrees, value can be negative,
     default = 0 degree
end_angle - ending angle of the ring, in degrees,
     value must be greater than start_angle, default = 360 degrees
sectors  - number of sectors in the ring, default = 10
gap_sectors - gap between two sectors, in pixels, default = 1 pixel
cap   - the way to close a sector, available values are
    "p" for parallel , default value 
    "r" for radial (follow the radius)
inverse_arc - if set to true, arc will be anticlockwise, default=false
border_size - size of the border, in pixels, default = 0 pixel i.e. no border
fill_sector - if set to true, each sector will be completely filled,
     default=false, this parameter is inoperate if sectors=1
background - if set to false, background will not be drawn, default=true
foreground - if set to false, foreground will not be drawn, default=true

Colours tables below are defined into braces :
{position in the gradient (0 to 1), colour in hexadecimal, alpha (0 to 1)}
example for a single colour table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1}} position parameter doesn't matter
example for a two-colours table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}} or {{0.5,0xFFAA00,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}}
example for a three-colours table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1},{0.5,0xFF0000,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}}

bg_colour1 - colour table for background,
     default = {{0,0x00ffff,0.1},{0.5,0x00FFFF,0.5},{1,0x00FFFF,0.1}}
fg_colour1 - colour table for foreground,
     default = {{0,0x00FF00,0.1},{0.5,0x00FF00,1},{1,0x00FF00,0.1}}
bd_colour1 - colour table for border,
     default = {{0,0xFFFF00,0.5},{0.5,0xFFFF00,1},{1,0xFFFF00,0.5}}     

Seconds tables for radials gradients :
bg_colour2 - second colour table for background, default = no second colour
fg_colour2 - second colour table for foreground, default = no second colour
bd_colour2 - second colour table for border, default = no second colour

draw_me     - if set to false, text is not drawn (default = true or 1)
              it can be used with a conky string, if the string returns 1, the text is drawn :
              example : "${if_empty ${wireless_essid wlan0}}${else}1$endif",

v1.0 (08 Aug. 2010) original release
v1.1 (07 Jan. 2011) Add draw_me parameter and correct memory leaks, thanks to "Creamy Goodness"
                    text is parsed inside the function, not in the array of settings

BARGRAPH WIDGET
v2.1 by wlourf (07 Jan. 2011)
this widget draws a bargraph with different effects
http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2010/07/bargraph-widget.html

To call the script in a conky, use, before TEXT
    lua_load /home/akubuntu/conkyJed/bargraph.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre main_rings
and add one line (blank or not) after TEXT

Parameters are :
3 parameters are mandatory
name - the name of the conky variable to display, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write name="cpu"
arg - the argument of the above variable, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write arg="cpu0"
       arg can be a numerical value if name=""
max - the maximum value the above variable can reach, for example, for {$cpu cpu0}, just write max=100

Optional parameters:
x,y    - coordinates of the starting point of the bar, default = middle of the conky window
cap    - end of cap line, ossibles values are r,b,s (for round, butt, square), default="b"
        http://www.cairographics.org/samples/set_line_cap/
angle    - angle of rotation of the bar in degress, default = 0 (i.e. a vertical bar)
        set to 90 for an horizontal bar
skew_x    - skew bar around x axis, default = 0
skew_y    - skew bar around y axis, default = 0
blocks    - number of blocks to display for a bar (values >0) , default= 10
height    - height of a block, default=10 pixels
width    - width of a block, default=20 pixels
space    - space between 2 blocks, default=2 pixels
angle_bar - this angle is used to draw a bar on a circular way (ok, this is no more a bar !) default=0
radius    - for cicular bars, internal radius, default=0
        with radius, parameter width has no more effect.

Colours below are defined into braces {colour in hexadecimal, alpha}
fg_colour    - colour of a block ON, default= {0x00FF00,1}
bg_colour    - colour of a block OFF, default = {0x00FF00,0.5}
alarm         - threshold, values after this threshold will use alarm_colour colour , default=max
alarm_colour - colour of a block greater than alarm, default=fg_colour
smooth         - (true or false), create a gradient from fg_colour to bg_colour, default=false
mid_colour   - colours to add to gradient, with this syntax {position into the gradient (0 to1), colour hexa, alpha}
           for example, this table {{0.25,0xff0000,1},{0.5,0x00ff00,1},{0.75,0x0000ff,1}} will add
           3 colours to gradient created by fg_colour and alarm_colour, default=no mid_colour
led_effect   - add LED effects to each block, default=no led_effect
           if smooth=true, led_effect is not used
           possibles values : "r","a","e" for radial, parallel, perdendicular to the bar (just try!)
           led_effect has to be used with theses colours :
fg_led         - middle colour of a block ON, default = fg_colour
bg_led         - middle colour of a block OFF, default = bg_colour
alarm_led    - middle colour of a block > ALARM, default = alarm_colour

reflection parameters, not available for circular bars
reflection_alpha - add a reflection effect (values from 0 to 1) default = 0 = no reflection
            other values = starting opacity
reflection_scale - scale of the reflection (default = 1 = height of text)
reflection_length - length of reflection, define where the opacity will be set to zero
            values from 0 to 1, default =1
reflection    - position of reflection, relative to a vertical bar, default="b"
            possibles values are : "b","t","l","r" for bottom, top, left, right
draw_me         - if set to false, text is not drawn (default = true or 1)
            it can be used with a conky string, if the string returns 1, the text is drawn :
            example : "${if_empty ${wireless_essid wlan0}}${else}1$endif",

v1.0 (10 Feb. 2010) original release
v1.1 (13 Feb. 2010) numeric values can be passed instead conky stats with parameters name="", arg = numeric_value
v1.2 (28 Feb. 2010) just renamed the widget to bargraph
v1.3 (03 Mar. 2010) added parameters radius & angle_bar to draw the bar in a circular way
v2.0 (12 Jul. 2010) rewrite script + add reflection effects and parameters are now set into tables
v2.1 (07 Jan. 2011) Add draw_me parameter and correct memory leaks, thanks to "Creamy Goodness"

Varnish Cache

2013-07-12T21:41:00.000-07:00

Varnish is a web application accelerator. You install it in front of your web application and it will speed it up significantly.

Installation on Ubuntu

Varnish is distributed in the Ubuntu package repositories, but the version there might be out of date, and we generally recommend using the packages provided by varnish-cache.org. Please be advised that we only provide packages for Ubuntu's LTS releases, not all the intermediate releases. Note that the packages might still work fine on newer releases.

To use the varnish-cache.org repository, do the following

curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/GPG-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/ precise varnish-3.0" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install varnish

If you want to install the older 2.1 version, replace varnish-3.0 with varnish-2.1 in the command above.

How to auto-close the terminal after a certain period of inactivity

2013-06-12T01:42:00.001-07:00

I will show you a little trick to close the terminal automatically after a certain period of inactivity. The trick is very simple, just use any text editor ( as root) to open the file /etc/profile, in Ubuntu or Linux Mint Cinnamon, the command will be:

sudo gedit /etc/profile

Once the file is open, just append the following lines to the end of the file:

TMOUT=seconds
export TMOUT

Change the "seconds" in the variable part of TMOUT to any number you prefer, this is the maximum idling time the terminal can last before getting closed. I will use 200 as the example here, just add the lines into the end of the file /etc/profile like this:

Then save the file and close the text editor. After that, run the following command to apply the new change and your terminal will be automatically closed after 200 seconds of inactivity:

source /etc/profile

Make Your PDF File Smaller

2013-03-25T11:39:00.002-07:00

Shrinkpdf: shrink PDF files with Ghostscript

The simplest shell script in the world to shrink your PDFs (as in reduce filesize) under Linux with Ghostscript. Inspired by some code I found in an OpenOffice Python script (I think). It feeds an existing PDF through Ghostscript, downsamples the images to 72dpi, and does some other stuff. Pretty straightforward.

shrinkpdf.sh

    #!/bin/sh

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER \
 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen \
 -dEmbedAllFonts=true \
 -dSubsetFonts=true \
 -dColorImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic \
 -dColorImageResolution=72 \
 -dGrayImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic \
 -dGrayImageResolution=72 \
 -dMonoImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic \
 -dMonoImageResolution=72 \
 -sOutputFile=out.pdf \
  $1

Usage

Download the script by clicking the filename at the top of the box.
If it's not downloading just right click and 'save link as', make sure the file are in 'home' folder.

Then run:

sh shrinkpdf.sh yourfile.pdf

This produces a shrunken file named out.pdf in the current directory.
Sorry, Windows users; this one is Linux only. Ghostscript does run under Windows, but I don't know much about Windows scripting. You could try typing all these parameters on the commandline by hand.

You can increase the quality by changing the '72' number in the script to what ever number you want (ex: 120) for better image quality.

Good Luck.

Faster Boot Time Ubuntu 12.04

2013-03-23T13:00:00.002-07:00

1)Remove unwanted Startup Application
(most of info recomend this)
make hidden startup applications visible in the manager

sudo sed -i ‘s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g’ /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

Click the Start Menu.
Click Startup Applications...
Uncheck any unwanted application

2)Speed Up Ubuntu Booting Time via Grub
(Source = Ubuntubuzz)
here's to do it, open your grub configuration file (/etc/default/grub) and find this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”, do as follows :

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

replace

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”

with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”

save and exit

sudo update-grub2

sudo reboot

Grub does a search for all the necessary drivers to load, Instead of making Grub search for required drivers, the profiling actually makes Grub remember every necessary driver to work, This action will cutting down all of the driver load times.

after your system up, edit /etc/default/grub and remove some option which we have added before.

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

replace

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”

with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”

save and exit

sudo update-grub2

3)Disabling Hibernation Option
(source=ossdoc)
To disable Hibernation menu type this command:

 sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

it will open the editor. Disable hibernation by adding hastag (#) before the line. See this sample:

Before:

RESUME=UUID=7c53534d-2a6f-49de-b825-74106a681594

After:

#RESUME=UUID=7c53534d-2a6f-49de-b825-74106a681594

Close and save the editor. Hibernation is disabled.

4) Disabling Grub Menu
Disabling grub menu will speed up your computer. You have to set grub time out value as 0. Type this command on Your terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

when the editor opened, set GRUB_TIMEOUT value as 0. Close and save.

Adjust Your Swappiness

First, chek your swappinnes. The default value is 60. check it using this command:

cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

open your editor and edit the value. try this command to edit:

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

add this line to into the file:

vm.swappiness=10

That's it. Good luck.

How to customize the font and color of the panel clock in Ubuntu and Linux Mint Mate

2013-01-13T20:25:00.001-07:00

If you are using the Mate edition of Linux Mint ( either 13 or 14), the default clock at the right corner will look like this

I will show you a small trick to change the font and color of this clock widget to make it look somehow like this:

The trick is pretty simple. First, you will need to get the Digital font. Just download it here then install it.

Next, create a file named .gtkrc-2.0 in the home folder and copy-paste the following lines into it:

 style "my-panel-clock"  
 {  
 fg[NORMAL] = "#272727"
 font_name = "DS-Digital Bold 12"  
 }  
 widget "*.clock-applet-button.*" style "my-panel-clock"

After that, just hit Alt+F2 and run the following command to reset the bottom panel:

 pkill mate-panel

Note: You can edit the font, size and the color code in the .gtkrc-2.0 file to meet your preference.

Ubuntu Got 2 Windows 7 (loader) entries in Grub2

2012-12-10T20:04:00.001-07:00

What was the cause of the problem:

Grub2 looks for the Windows boot files for detecting Windows entries. Though you removed Windows 7, the Windows 7 boot files aren't removed (which are "Boot" folder and "bootmgr" file). And as Windows 7 boot files are there, grub2 simply assumes that, there are Windows 7 installation also. Hence the dual entry.

You should find what you're looking for inside of /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This file is dynamically generated by update-grub2. I am dual booting Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. If I wanted to remove one, I would simply delete it's section from this file.

menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
 ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ntfs
    set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C08C7F598C7F4944
    chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" --class windows --class os {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ntfs
    set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C08C7F598C7F4944
    chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" --class windows --class os {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ntfs
    set root='(hd0,msdos4)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C22A7EEA2A7EDB3D
    drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
    chainloader +1

Changes should take effect immediately, so make a backup and be careful. Also, anything you change in this file will be completely over written if you run update-grub2 again.

make sure you're delete the right one or you'll be sorry...

OR

Mount the /dev/sda1 drive. Then in that drive look for a folder named Boot and a file named bootmgr. Remove both the folder and file. Then run update-grub2 command again.
You might want to install grub2 again. As I see your Ubuntu installation is at /dev/sdb, the commands will be

sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
sudo update-grub

Bye..

Open the terminal in a specific size and position in Ubuntu/ Linux Mint

2012-12-03T00:02:00.000-07:00

In Ubuntu or Linux Mint and many other distros, when you open the terminal, the window will appear at the top left corner of the desktop screen and I usually have to drag it down to the bottom left of the desktop. If you dont like the default position and size of the start up window, you can edit it easily.

There are in fact many methods to customize the start up position of the terminal, but in this article I will show you a simple way to do the task without installing anything. In Ubuntu or Linux Mint Cinnamon, just open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop

If you use MATE, the command will be

sudo mate-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/mate-terminal.desktop

After you hit enter, you will see the properties window of the launcher for the terminal.

In the command tab, just append this option after the part "mate-terminal" (or "gnome-terminal"):

--geometry=100x50+800+300

What this means:
100: the width of the terminal ( in characters)
50: the height ( in lines)
800: x position of the terminal when you open it up
300: y position

Just change the numbers into whatever values you prefer then click on the Close button and everything is done. Next time you open the terminal, the terminal window will appear at the new position instead of the top left corner of the desktop screen

Ubuntu Builder 2.3.0 Adds Support For Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

2012-10-22T00:45:00.000-07:00

Ubuntu Builder has been updated to version 2.3.0 recently which adds support for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal and at the same time drops support for Natty. Ubuntu Builder is a tool with GUI that allows users to build a customized version of their Ubuntu-based distributions. The tool allows to customize either i386 or amd64 OS images.

Ubuntu Builder Installation

Open the terminal and install Ubuntu Builder 2.3.0 in Ubuntu 12.10/12.04 or Linux Mint 13 with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:f-muriana/ubuntu-builder

Make Unity More Responsive in Ubuntu 12.10 with a Small Tweak

2012-10-21T00:37:00.002-07:00

Ubuntu 12.10 has been released and you may have already started customizing it. Below is a small tweak that will make Unity dash more responsive.

Ubuntu 12.10 has a 'low graphics mode' that disables some dash and launcher effects like active blur and transparency. It also darkens dash for improved visibility. By sacrificing these effects, you can improve Unity performance.

This low graphics mode is enabled by default in llvmpipe software mode which is used as a fallback method if your system doesn't support 3D hardware acceleration. However, on high end systems, you can enable low graphics mode without getting into fallback renderer.

Low graphics mode can be enabled by adding following line to ~/.xprofile (if the file doesn't exist, create it)

export UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1

Logout, and come back for the effect to take place.

To check if you are running llvmpipe software mode or not, run the following command:

glxgears -info

In software mode, you will get output like this:

GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.1, 128 bits)

GL_VERSION = 2.1 Mesa 9.1-devel

GL_VENDOR = VMware, Inc.

Low graphics mode changes are mostly same as disabling blur and transparency effects through compiz config settings manager (CCSM). You can use either of these methods to improve Unity performance on your desktop.

In this tutorial we will help you add the BackTrack repository to Ubuntu so that you can install BackTrack packages natively using "sudo apt-get install package" or from Ubuntu Software Center.

Getting Started

Open the terminal under Ubuntu 12.10/12.04/11.10 or older and run the following commands to add the BackTrack repository:

wget -q http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

To check if the repository is added correctly, you can try to install this BackTrack package:

sudo apt-get install backtrack-wallpapers

Or you can search BackTrack applications from Ubuntu Software Center:

Ubuntu 12.10 Simplifies GRUB Boot Menu

2012-09-23T17:43:00.000-07:00

Ubuntu 12.10 features a minor but interesting change in GRUB2 Boot Menu.

Menu entries now have 'Ubuntu' as the first option instead of 'Ubuntu with Linux (Kernel version)'. Everything else has been tucked into a new 'Advanced Options' entry which lists older Kernels and recovery mode options.

Here is a screenshot of new boot menu:

Advanced Options:

For comparison, here is a screenshot of boot menu in Ubuntu 12.04:

New boot menu makes sense as any first time Linux user may get confused by recovery mode option and Kernel versions. A simple 'Ubuntu' entry is enough to tell a user what to do in case he is presented with a boot menu.

By default GRUB menu is hidden and it is only shown when a system fails to shut properly or Shift key is held during boot time.

Install Latest Build of Terminator from PPA

2012-08-08T10:16:00.000-07:00

Terminator allows users to have multiple terminals in one window and use key bindings to switch between them. It provides an efficient way of filling a large area of screen space with terminals.

Some new features and fixes have been included in Terminator since its last release, so I have packaged it into a PPA.

Changes:

Auto-resize columns/rows: Double clicking on a splitter evenly redistributes columns/rows in that grouping
It is now possible to rename multiple windows of Terminator using a keyboard shortcut
You can now add a keyboard shortcut for inserting terminal numbers
Added possibility to rotate the paned containers. Super + R for rotating terminals clockwise and Super + Shift + R for rotating terminals counter-clockwise
Fixed, titlebars not refreshing when using some keyboard shortcuts
Fixed initial terminal sizing with non-default font sizes
Many other fixes

You can download latest build in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 by running the commands below. Do note that this is not an official stable release from developers.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:niteshgupta16/ubuntuvibes

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install terminator
