Is Flash Going to Launch A New Phone? “Life with Metal” Photography Campaign Reveals the New Product

Lately, Flash launched a “Life with Metal” photography campaign on its official website, covering six countries: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It is reported that a total of more than 2,000 pieces of photographs have been received within only ten days and the click counts on the web page of the event have exceeded 160,000. The photographers took photos of a variety of metal objects from rings, automobiles to an iron tower, revealing the art of life in the form of photography.

And actually the contest was posted here too, ten lucky winner from around the world will receive the latest premium Flash smartphone.

Notably, this event is not merely a photography campaign, for it has sent an important signal that “Flash is soon to launch a new product”. On the homepage of the event, it is said that Flash is going to select 10 excellent photographs from each country that will be displayed with signature of photographers during the new product launch event. Also, the prize-winning photographers of every country will each get a new smart phone as a gift. Does this suggest that Flash is soon to hold the new product launch event and release the latest smart phone?

According to the previous product releases, it’s highly likely that a new product of Flash will make its debut very soon. Up till now, the Flash series have already had three models of smart phones: Flash launched in September 2014, Flash Plus in May 2015, and Flash 2 in September 2015. According to such a tempo, the unknown fourth model is very likely to come in no time. What’s more, the Flash series once had created phenomenal e-commerce sales craze in Southeast Asia, with enormous market potential and consumer needs: Flash Plus once set the record of selling out 100 units in one minute while Flash 2 became the sales champion of Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce platform Lazada for the same price range within one month of being placed in market - it regained popularity during the December 12th promo with sales volume up close to those of Apple and Samsung. Given such favorable market situation, if Flash “strikes iron while it is hot” to launch a new product, it will be sure to reset the sales record of smart phones.

An even bolder guess would be that from the theme of the photography competition - “Life with Metal”, we could probably tell something about the new smart phone’s configuration. Does taking photos of metal objects in life indicate the two selling points of the new phone - metal and photography?  Will the new product be made in metal and have an exceptional visual and photographic function?

Starting from Flash, the first model, mobigraph has become a vital gene of the Flash series, with inheritance and innovation being done on Flash Plus. The third model, Flash 2, has even become a pioneer that challenges conventional cameras with a superb photographing experience. Therefore, it can be reasonably said that the new product is highly probably to continue the photography DNA, with powerful photo-taking functions. While none of the three models of Flash has to do with metal, it is possible to adopt a metal frame, making an innovative attempt and breakthrough.

At the moment, Flash has not officially released any exact information about the new product. However, the series of products have got a couple of labels by word of mouth - “exceptional camera, fashionable appearance, and strong performance”, and they are becoming more and more popular in market. So, this new phone must be worth expecting.

How to Run Ubuntu Bash on latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316

As reported last week, Microsoft will launch an 'Anniversary Update' for Windows 10 that will bring Ubuntu file system, allowing you to use Bash to run command-line Linux applications without a virtual machine.

This feature isn’t out yet, but it’s on its way. It will be part of the stable version of Windows when Windows 10’s Anniversary Update is released this summer. Until then, you’ll need to be on the Insider Preview track to get the latest unstable version of Windows 10 “Redstone.”

An Ubuntu 14.04 LTS-based Bash application will shortly be added to the Windows Store, followed by a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS-based application once Ubuntu 16.04 LTS launches on April 21.

This new Bash Shell support features a full Ubuntu user space complete with support for tools including ssh, apt, rsync, find, grep, awk, sed, sort, xargs, md5sum, gpg, curl, wget, apache, mysql, python, perl, ruby, php, vim, emacs and more.

However, you do not have to wait until this summer to run Bash (Bourne Again Shell) on your Windows 10 OS, as Microsoft has released the first preview build of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to the members of its Insider program.

How to Run Ubuntu native Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Step 1: Enroll in the Windows Insider program and Select "Advanced Windows Update options" under "System Settings." 

Step 2: Set your update ambition to "the fast ring". 

Step 3: Now turn ON "Developer Mode" via Settings → Update & security → For developers, as this new feature is specifically meant for developers.

Step 4: You now need to check for new updates (Insider Preview Build 14316), apply all updates, and then Restart your system.

 Step 5: Turn ON the new Windows feature (where you enable also Telnet), "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)".

 Note: You need a 64-bit version of Windows. Without it, you won't see the new option.

Step 6: Reboot your system.
Step 7: Now Press the Start button and type 'Bash' or simply open Command Prompt and type 'bash.'  This will launch a console window powered by Ubuntu's user-space.

 Open it and proceed to windows store download 

Other new features in Build 14316 include improvements to the Microsoft Edge browser, new Skype Universal Windows Platform app, support for new emoji, and a new toggle that lets you switch between light and dark mode themes for Windows Settings, clock, calculator, and other apps.

I try to install Linux tool  here...

Only mdk3 is not install  -_-  wget link is forbidden

Installing Ubuntu Desktop Apps

The first thing you need to do, after installing WSL and Ubuntu, is to add an X Window server to Windows. The one I used was Xming X Server for Windows. Ubuntu on Windows doesn't currently come with a native X server or Ubuntu's own X replacement, Mir. Xming is a Linux cross-compiled server based on the X.org code for Microsoft Windows. It's meant primarily to securely run, via ssh, remote Linux and Unix X Window applications, but it works fine as a local X server as well.

Next, you'll need to get WSL and Ubuntu running. Once up, you must update Ubuntu's Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) repositories. You do this with the Bash shell command:

apt-get update

Since Ubuntu on WSL automatically runs as root, you don't need to add sudo to the command for it to run.

Once the repositories are up to date, you can install a Linux GUI application. I, and others, have chosen to install Firefox. You can try any application that doesn't require support from a specific Linux GUI toolkit such as GTK+, Tck/Tk, or Qt. Of course, you can always try installing these as well and then applications based on them on WSL, but that's getting ahead of ourselves. First, let's walk, then we can run.

To install Firefox run the Bash command:

apt-get install firefox

Once Firefox has been installed you run it with the Bash command:

DISPLAY=:0 firefox

Then, if all's done well, congratulations, you'll be running a Linux desktop app on the Windows desktop.

To launch vim-gtk, you’d run:

 DISPLAY=:0 gvim

It probably won't be running well. After all you're running a graphical program on a beta platform that's not meant to run software with a graphical user interface. The results are messy. Firefox crashed quite often on me, and I'm not the only one. The only Linux desktop application I currently have running consistently is the Vim text edtior.

These programs aren't going to be that fast even when they do run. That's because the X server isn't buffering or directly rendering the graphics. The X11 protocol is, after all, a networking protocol for graphics. It's been used for graphics on Unix and Linux for ages, but without help it's not efficient for graphics. Hence, the rise of Wayland as an X Window server replacement.

Canonical, which supports Mir for a display server, in any case, isn't going to help with bringing graphical programs to WSL anytime soon. Dustin Kirkland, a member of Canonical's Ubuntu Product and Strategy executive team, told me that the presence of these unsupported Linux apps goes to show "the power of open source communities!" That said, Kirkland continued, "Canonical and Microsoft are currently focused on the command line and developer tools in Ubuntu on Windows."

So, it will be up to users to bring full Linux desktop apps and eventually Linux desktops to Ubuntu on Windows. It will happen. I have faith in open-source hackers. And, one programmer has already managed to get the xfce Linux desktop running on Windows 10 using cygwin. Getting more Linux graphical programs running on WSL is just a matter of time.


Want to learn more? There’s a lot of information out there now. Microsoft’s announcement covers the basics and Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman provides some background. Canonical’s Dustin Kirkland provides an explanation targeted at readers familiar with Linux. You can also watch an informative 17-minute video who worked on the project.
