To enable the new Ribbon UI
First:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced > Enable experimental features (may be unstable)
LibreOffice will then need to restart. After the restart:
View > Toolbar Layout > Notebookbar
To revert the changes
Click some strange icon in top left corner > Options > Advanced > uncheck “Enable experimental features (may be unstable)”

A short list about video and audio editing tools in Linux realm (Note: Not all of them are FOSS).
– Adobe Audition – a powerful digital audio workstation. No Linux version available but the Windows version reportedly can run in Linux via Wine.
– Audacity – a simple wave editor, not a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Audacity’s direct competition are GoldWave, Nero Wave Editor, and so on and Audacity blows them all out of the water in areas that are objectively measurable, i.e. file compatibility, encoding performance, etc. Just don’t compare Audacity to a DAW. They are just different things with just some overlapping feature set – kinda like comparing a pure text editor with a word processor.
– Bitwig Studio – a DAW by former Ableton people who really know their stuff.
– Blender – a 3D animation suite, and a powerful video editor. Also comes with a python console, where really powerful scriptability can be reached. It’s daunting for the first few days, but you’ll get used to the Blender workflow. To edit video you need to go into VSE mode. You have to learn it, you can’t just brute force and guess your way around, so go watch a bunch of tutorial videos (search: blender vse or blender visual sequence editor) and you’ll be flying.
– Cinelerra – comparable to Avid, but less stable, and the learning curve is steep. Continue reading “Linux Audio and Video Editing Tools”
Just rename the file extension to .iso (what the..)and open it in software like AcetoneISO.
This post is a note for myself about installing ZenCoding plugin for Geany in PCLinuxOS.
Zen Coding plugin is not supported officially by the Zen Coding developer. This requires me to get my hand dirty with a little bit dependency hell. I grabbed the following packages (my main OS is PCLinuxOS) from repo prior to plugin installation to successfully install this wowsome plugin:
automake, libtool, libgtk+2.0, libgtk+-devel, geany-devel
The packages may be called differently in your Linux distro. I think you get the idea. Then follow the installation manual from geany-zencoding:
-generate the required build system files:
$ cd geany-zencoding
$ ./autogen.sh
-configure, compile and install the build system:
$ ./configure –prefix=`pkg-config –variable=prefix geany`
$ make
$ make install # maybe as root depending on prefix
-activate Zencoding in Geany
run Geany > Tools> Plugin Manager>Check Zen Coding
Note:
during make process I encountered error about not finding .la file in /usr/lib. Solution: delete all .la files in /usr/lib
rm -rf /usr/lib/*.la (as root)
