Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring bleeding-edge features for graphics cards produced by Nvidia and used under a GNU/Linux operating system. Both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86_64) architectures are supported at this time.

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.

What News on Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 364.12

Added support for the following GPUs:

• GeForce 920MX
• GeForce 930MX
• Fixed a regression that caused GPU exceptions and incorrect rendering when using pbuffers with EGLDevice.
• Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash when pairing glasses with the 3D Vision Pro transmitter on some systems.
• Fixed a bug that caused installer manifest entries for some 32-bit compatibility libraries to be duplicated in the installer package.
• Fixed a regression that caused the HSync and VSync mode timing polarity flags to be inverted.
• Changed the default OpenGL installation type to use the GLVND GLX client libraries rather than the legacy non-GLVND libraries.
• Added initial support for Direct Rendering Manager Kernel Modesetting (DRM KMS). See the DRM KMS section of the README for details.
• Added a new kernel module, nvidia-drm.ko, which registers as a DRM driver with both PRIME and DRM KMS support.

Added support for the following EGL extensions:

• EGL_EXT_platform_wayland
• to enable Wayland applications to run on NVIDIA’s EGL implementation,
• EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display
• to enable Wayland compositors to run on NVIDIA’s EGL implementation, and
• EGL_EXT_device_drm
• EGL_EXT_output_drm
• EGL_EXT_stream_consumer_egloutput
• to enable Mir and Wayland compositors to display their content through EGLDevice, EGLOutput, and EGLstreams.
• Added a Wayland platform library, libnvidia-egl-wayland.so, to allow Wayland compositors that support EGLDevice, EGLOutput, and EGLstreams to share EGL buffers with Wayland applications.
• Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect frame rate reporting on Quadro Sync configurations with multiple GPUs.
• Added support for the Vulkan API version 1.0.
• Improved X colormap precision from 8 significant bits to 11 on GeForce GPUs. Quadro GPUs already used 11 bits of precision.
• Added a new RandR property, CscMatrix, which specifies a 3×4 color-space conversion matrix. The matrix is applied after the X colormap and before the gamma ramp. This property is available on GF119 and newer GPUs.
• Improved handling of the X gamma ramp on GF119 and newer GPUs. On these GPUs, the RandR gamma ramp is always 1024 entries and now applies to the cursor and VDPAU or workstation overlays in addition to the X root window
• Reworked how the NVIDIA driver registers with the Linux kernel’s DRM subsystem for PRIME support. As a result, PRIME support requires Linux kernel version 3.13 or newer (previously, PRIME support required Linux kernel version 3.10 or newer).
• Improved the interactivity of applications that use a hardware cursor while G-SYNC is active.

Wine 1.9.6 Dev Released, the first build to add support for the Vulkan API (Application Programming Interface)  you can install on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus, Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf, Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Elementary OS 0.2 and Elementary OS 0.3 via PPA

Wine (originally an acronym for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”) is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

It’s not a virtual machine or an emulator

However, Wine should not be confused with a virtual machine or an emulator. It provides binary compatibility, support for graphics, sound interaction, as well as support for modems, networks, scanners, tablets, keyboards, and other devices. The software’s API allows developers to integrate Wine in their projects, and as a result, numerous graphical user interfaces, both free and commercial, appeared on the Internet over the years.

Looking at the changelog, we can see that numerous under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes have landed in Wine Staging 1.9.6, but among the new features, we can’t help but notice the addition of a Vulkan wrapper.



The Wine development release 1.9.6 is now available.

What’s new in this release:

• Better video card detection when using Mesa.
• Support for Shader Model 5 shaders.
• C++ exception handling improvements.
• Various bug fixes.

How to Install / Update Wine 1.9.6 Dev  Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Elementary OS via PPA :

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, due to be released on 21 April 2022, is expected to include Unity 8 running natively on Mir. It will use systemd instead of Upstart as its init system. This release will replace the Ubuntu Software Center with the GNOME Software and eliminate Empathy and Brasero, from the ISO file. It is also planned that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will move entirely from Python 2 to Python 3, which will require dropping or porting Python 2 packages.The desktop will be Unity 7 with Unity 8 optional. Snappy packages will be supported

n May 2015 Shuttleworth indicated that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will likely include Unity 8 and Mir, but that users will have a choice of that or Unity 7 and X.org. He said, “Unity 8 will be an option for 16.04 and we’ll let the community decide the default for 16.04.

Opera is a free software product designed from the ground up as a replacement for the default web browser of your GNU/Linux operating system, packed with a highly customizable layout, as well as a bunch of unique features and technologies that are not available on any other similar product.

Features at a glance

Key features include a built-in pop-up blocker, integrated search, tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, advanced security, customizable speed dial, support for add-ons, as well as support for a skins.

Additionally, it features a turbo mode that will load web pages faster on slow Internet connections, it features support for bookmarks that can be imported from any other popular web browser, and include a threat analyzer tool that will warn you in case you visit a malicious website.

Furthermore, the program comes with a comprehensive settings dialog that allows the user to configure and tweak the default functionality of the web browser to suit his or her needs, as well as to add add-ons for extra functionality.

What New in version 36.0 :

Refreshed start page:

• We’ve updated style for our top UI. The start-page navigation panel has been moved to the left to optimize horizontal space on popular widescreen monitors. You have been asking for more customization power over speed dial – in the top-right corner you will find the “Customize start page” cogwheel option, which allows you to change themes and customize news section in one place. If in opera://settings you tick “show advanced options”, start page configuration panel will too show few more settings, check for yourself! Note this is not the end of customization enhancements, more is incoming in Opera 37 already.

Modern-app-like browsing on Windows 10:

• The UI has changed even more on Windows 10. Opera now blends with the system, changing colors across the application to match its style. You can now control whether you want to keep the Opera colors or get a new system look by going to Settings.
• Opera now adapts to your input method and makes life easier for those of you using touch. With touch input, it will automatically increase the size of toolbar items and all context menus, plus it will give you a new icon for the fullscreen move, exactly like modern apps do.
• We’ve also added some cool-looking graphics to make our style blend better with the native style of Windows 10.

Opera vs other browsers:

• Unlike other browsers, we try to keep Opera UI as close to the platform as possible.
• Unlike Firefox, we offer Windows 10 users native notifications, touch-mode support, the fullscreen icon and bigger context menus for touchscreens, as well as an option to switch to system colors.
• Unlike Edge, Opera allows you to enhance and customize your browsing experience through extensions, including sidebar and speed dial extensions. To handle many extensions using toolbar icons in Opera 36 we’ve added an expander.
• Plus, we also have animated themes that look just great on Windows 10.
• We have not written much about News being available on Speed Dial in this release. We are still working on changing this feature, but you can already check in final stream how this is working for you and share your feedback with us.

What New in version 7.10 :

[NSE] Added 12 NSE scripts from 7 authors, bringing the total up to 527! They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below (authors are listed in brackets):

• [GH#322] http-apache-server-status parses the server status page of Apache’s mod_status. [Eric Gershman]
• http-vuln-cve2013-6786 detects a XSS and URL redirection vulnerability in Allegro RomPager web server. Also added a fingerprint for detecting CVE-2014-4019 to http-fingerprints.lua. [Vlatko Kosturjak]
• [GH#226] http-vuln-cve2014-3704 detects and exploits the “Drupalgeddon” pre-auth SQL Injection vulnerability in Drupal. [Mariusz Ziulek]
• imap-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from NTLM-auth-enabled IMAP services. [Justin Cacak]
• ipv6-multicast-mld-list discovers IPv6 multicast listeners with MLD probes. The discovery is the same as targets-ipv6-multicast-mld, but the subscribed addresses are decoded and listed. [Alexandru Geana, Daniel Miller]
• ms-sql-ntlm-info extracts OS version and sometimes hostname from MS SQL Server instances via the NTLM challenge message. [Justin Cacak]
• nntp-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from NTLM-auth-enabled NNTP services. [Justin Cacak]
• pop3-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from NTLM-auth-enabled POP3 services. [Justin Cacak]
• rusers retrieves information about logged-on users from the rusersd RPC service. [Daniel Miller]
• [GH#333] shodan-api queries the Shodan API (https://www.shodan.io) and retrieves open port and service info from their Internet-wide scan data. [Glenn Wilkinson]
• smtp-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from NTLM-auth-enabled SMTP and submission services. [Justin Cacak]
• telnet-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from NTLM-auth-enabled Telnet services. [Justin Cacak]
• Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from October to January (536 of them). Added 104 fingerprints, bringing the new total to 5089. Additions include Linux 4.2, more Windows 10, IBM i 7, and more. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/270 [Daniel Miller]
• Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from October to January (508 of them). The signature count went up 2.2% to 10532. We now detect 1108 protocols, from icy, finger, and rtsp to ipfs, basestation, and minecraft-pe. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/271 [Daniel Miller]
• Integrated all 12 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from October to January. The classifier added 3 new groups, including new and expanded groups for OS X, bringing the new total to 96. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/273 [Daniel Miller]
• [NSE] Upgrade to http-form-brute allowing correct handling of token-based CSRF protections and cookies. Also, a simple database of common login forms supports Django, WordPress, MediaWiki, Joomla, and others. [Daniel Miller]
• [Zenmap] [GH#247] Remember window geometry (position and size) from the previous time Zenmap was run. [isjing]
• New service probe for CORBA GIOP (General Inter-ORB Protocol) detection should elicit a not-found exception from GIOP services that do not respond to non-GIOP probes. [Quentin Hardy]
• [GH#284] Fix retrieval of route netmasks on FreeBSD. IPv6 routes were given /32 netmasks regardless of actual netmask configured, resulting in failed routing. Reported by Martin Gysi. [Daniel Miller]
• [GH#272][GH#269] Give option parsing errors after the usage statement, or avoid printing the usage statement in some cases. The options summary has grown quite large, requiring users to scroll to the top to see the error message. [Abhishek Singh]
• [GH#249][Nsock] Avoid a crash on Windows reported by users using Zenmap’s Slow Comprehensive Scan profile. In the case of unknown OpenSSL errors, ERR_reason_error_string would return NULL, which could not be printed with the “%s” format string. Reported by Dan Baxter. [Gisle Vanem, Daniel Miller]
• [GH#293][Zenmap] Fix a regression in our build that caused copy-and-paste to not work in Zenmap on Windows.
• Changed Nmap’s idea of reserved and private IP addresses to include 169.254/16 (RFC3927) and remove 6/8, 7/8, and 55/8 networks. This list, in libnetutil’s isipprivate function, is used to filter -iR randomly generated targets. The newly-valid address ranges belong to the U.S. Department of Defense, so users wanting to avoid those ranges should use their own exclusion lists with –exclude or –exclude-file. [Bill Parker, Daniel Miller]
• Allow the -4 option for Nmap to indicate IPv4 address family. This is the default, and using the option doesn’t change anything, but does make it more explicit which address family you want to scan. Using -4 with -6 is an error. [Daniel Miller]
• [GH#265] When provided a verbosity of 0 (-v0), Nmap will not output any text to the screen. This happens at the time of argument parsing, so the usual meaning of “verbosity 0” is preserved. [isjing]
• [NSE][GH#314] Fix naming of SSL2_RC2_128_CBC_WITH_MD5 and SSL2_RC2_128_CBC_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5 ciphers in sslv2 in order to match the draft specification from Mozilla. [Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
• [NSE][GH#320] Add STARTTLS support to sslv2 to enable SSLv2 detection against services that are not TLS encrypted by default but that support post connection upgrade. This will enable more comprehensive detection of SSLv2 and DROWN (CVE-2016-0800) attack oracles. [Tom Sellers]

• [GH#274] Use a shorter pcap_select timeout on OpenBSD, just as we do for OS X, old FreeBSD, and Solaris, which use BPF for packet capture and do not have properly select-able fds. Fix by OpenBSD port maintainer [David Carlier]
• Print service info in grepable output for ports which are not listed in nmap-services when a service tunnel (SSL) is detected. Previously, the service info (“ssl|unknown”) was not printed unless the service inside the tunnel was positively identified. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q4/260 [Daniel Miller]
• [NSE] [GH#242] Fix multiple false-positive sources in http-backup-agent. [Tom Sellers]
