Σχεδόν τρεις μήνες από την εγκατάσταση του Ubuntu Hardy Heron στο laptop μου και τα πρώτα προβληματάκια εμφανίστηκαν. Οι εφαρμογές που μου κάνουν τις δύσκολες είναι οι εξής:

• Mozilla Firefox 2
• Mozilla Firefox 3
• Amarok
• Skype
• Pidgin
• Wine

Με την πρώτη ματιά στη λίστα θα πείτε "Τι μας λέει τώρα ο τύπος;". Και θα έχετε
εν μέρει δίκιο. Τα περισσότερα από αυτά τα προγράμματα είναι γνωστά... κέρατα στο Linux εκ φύσεως. Όπως για παράδειγμα το Amarok, που τρώει ώρες ώρες κάτι φρίκες και ξεραίνεται. Τα προβλήματα είναι όμως λίγο πιο συγκεκριμένα και έχουν και κάποιες αστείες ιδιομορφίες.

Ας αρχίσω με το Amarok που ανέφερα πρώτο. Η συγκεκριμένη εφαρμογή χρησιμοποιεί τη μηχανή ήχου του Xine, και εαν έχω ανοίξει πριν την καλέσω κάποιο παράθυρο Firefox με flash video και ήχο, τότε το άψογο κατά τα άλλα Amarok, τα φτύνει και κολλάει. Εάν όμως καλέσω πρώτα το Amarok και μετά το Firefox, θα ακουστούν και τα δύο κανονικά. Συνεπώς καταλήγω στο οτι αυτό είναι ίσως κάποιο τσαλίμι του Firefox που αν κληθεί πρώτο δεν αφήνει κάποιους πόρους της μηχανής ήχου για άλλα προγράμματα. Επίσης εάν προσπαθήσω να αλλάξω την επιλογή για τη μηχανή ήχου σε Alsa ή κάτι άλλο, το Amarok τα φτύνει και πάλι, ενώ για να ξανατρέξει πρέπει να το απεγκαταστήσω και να το ξαναεγκαταστήσω.

Η νέα και πολλά υποσχόμενη έκδοση του Firefox, ο Firefox 3 (που είναι και default browser του Hardy Heron), κάνει προς το παρόν τα δικά του, κι ας βγήκε απο beta πρόσφατα. Απλά δεν ενεργοποιεί το back button και ορισμένες φορές δε γουστάρει καν να ανοίξει τη σελίδα που ζήτησα (ειδικά εάν είναι link από άλλο πρόγραμμα, όπως π.χ. το Pidgin). Ο Firefox 2 πάλι έχει τα κλασσικά του κολλήματα όπως υπερβολική κατανάλωση πόρων και αργό loading. Ένα όμως που δεν είχε παλιότερα είναι το ότι δεν μπορω να εγκαταστήσω add-ons λόγω κάποιου θέματος με τα file permissions υποθέτω. Μερικοί δε θα μάθουν ποτέ. :P

Το Pidgin, για κάποιο περίεργο λόγο δεν ανοίγει καν ορισμένες σπάνιες φορές, ενώ άλλες κρεμάει και κολλάει αμέσως μετά το άνοιγμα. Παρόμοιο πρόβλημα είχα πριν από ένα μήνα περίπου, όταν παρατήρησα οτι κόλλαγε πάλι με το που άνοιγε το msn account μου, ενώ με τα άλλα (Yahoo!, Google και ICQ) δεν υπήρχε πρόβλημα.

Το Skype τρώει φρίκη όταν προσπαθώ του κάκου να το τρέξω παράλληλα με το Amarok, με το Firefox ή κάτι άλλο που κάνει ήχους :P. Προφανώς υπάρχει κάποιο ζήτημα με τη μηχανή ήχου που στοιχειώνει το Ubuntu ακόμα.

Εν τέλει, το Wine, το οποίο αν και λειτουργεί όταν τρέχω το pre-installed Notepad της Microsoft, όταν ζητάω να μου ανοίξει κάποιο μεγαλούτσικο .exe αρχείο, με αφήνει να περιμένω. Ούτε φωνή ούτε ακρόαση. Για αυτό βέβαια ίσως να ευθύνεται και ο αδύναμος σχετικά επεξεργαστής μου στα 1.4 MHz αλλά έλεος ρε παιδιά, Worms Armageddon πήγα να τρέξω, όχι Fear! :(

Κλείνοντας θα ήθελα να πω πως τελικά ίσως ο ενθουσιασμός μου με τα drivers που λειτουργούσαν άψογα απο την εγκατάσταση χωρίς να κάνω τίποτα, ήταν λίγο υπερβολικός. Πιθανόν να υπάρχει κάποιο ζήτημα με τις διάφορες εκδόσεις του software που αναβαθμίζεται συνέχεια (είναι απίστευτο το πόσο συχνά με ενημερώνει για updates το pc). Γι αυτό και σε μερικά updates συναντάω πρόβλημα το οποίο λύνεται στην επόμενη έκδοση του προγράμματος που βγαίνει μετά από δυο μέρες (κάτι βρωμάει δηλαδή). Συνεχίζω να το δοκιμάζω σε pc φίλων όμως για να αποκτήσω μια πιο σφαιρική άποψη όσον αφορά την ανταπόκρισή του σε διαφορετικό hardware από το δικό μου. Μην ανησυχείτε όμως, θα ενημερώνεστε και εσείς κάθε φορά που μαζεύονται θεματάκια συζήτησης. :)

Elegir una distribución de Linux que se ajuste a nuestras necesidades no es nada fácil, sobre todo si venimos de usar otros sistemas operativos.

Si estás acostumbrado a usar algún sistema operativo para usuarios de escritorio como Windows, una de las opciones que deberías probar es Ubuntu Linux.

Ubuntu 8.04 trae consigo un buen número de novedades, entre ellas, las últimas versiones de las aplicaciones incorporadas en Ubuntu Gutsy.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron añade también nuevas aplicaciones, como el nuevo firewall, Transmission, Brasero o Vinagre entre otros.

Otra de las novedades destacadas es la adición de mejor soporte para hardware, añadiendo las últimas versiones de los drivers disponibles y otros nuevos, con lo que nos será más fácil instalar nuevos dispositivos en nuestro sistema.

Además, instalar y probar Ubuntu Hardy Heron será más fácil, gracias a mejoras relativas a la virtualización y a la inclusión de Wubi. (Descarga Legal Gratuita)

Here is a list of Resource Comparison with other window managers that you could use.

Gnome is a hog, it uses a lot of resources. If you would rather save your resources for a faster more efficient Desktop test out Window Maker. For directions on how to test out an alternative Desktop CLICK HERE.

Window Maker can run any of the applications you have installed on Ubuntu. It is highly configurable, lightweight and great looking.

A great source of information for Window Maker can be found at the site. Here is a project that has documentation that will help you use Window Maker efficiently.
Here is a link to the User Guide

With Firefox 3 Javascript 1.8 has been introduced. The development site claims that Firefox 3 Javascript will be a lot faster than in Firefox 2, especially enabling sites like GMail and others to operate much faster and therefore user-friendly. But I have the suspicion, that the new Javascript implementation causes a couple of sites simply not to work. A good example is the Tesla Motors site, that gives me a 'Javascript not enabled' message, even though the pages is enabled in NoScript or NoScript addon completely disabled.

So what is it? I can't really say, haven't yet found a solution for it other than using Opera or switching to a Windows VM with IE. But that would be too much pain for a website. Here are some other pages that do not work for me anymore:

• hsbc.com.au
• typo3 Backends as mentioned before for a couple of projects
• dodo.com.au
• hotmail.de
• mol-united.com

There were more. And one think I believe could have to do with it is that mostly the javascript functions in links did not work, the ones that show up in the status bar as e.g. "javascript() or "javascript:getMore('tiki-editpage.php')". The last one actually is from the Mozilla Support pages, it is the 'More like this' image link reference. Well, guess what, it does not work for me.

So what I do right now is to use Firefox for the normal browsing and use, but if I find a page that does not work, I switch to Opera. I like some of the new features to much and hope these issues will be fixed soon, whether by Firefox itself or the non-working sites.

A due mesi dal rilascio di Ubuntu 8.04 LTS ed a poche settimane dall'annuncio di Ubuntu Netbook Remix, è stato rilasciato anche Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04. Con questo nuovo prodotto, la Canonical mira ad ampliare il raggio d'azione di Ubuntu al settore dei MID (Mobile Internet Device), dispositivi mobili ultra-portatili, pensati per accedere rapidamente alla rete. Ubuntu MID Edition è nato dal progetto Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded (UME) sponsorizzato dalla Canonical in collaborazione con il Moblin-org project sponsorizzato dalla Intel. In poche parole, si tratta di una versione modificata (minimizzata) di Ubuntu 8.04, ottimizzata per i processori Atom della Intel. In questa nuova versione di Ubuntu, infatti, molti pacchetti sono stati rimossi, alcuni sono stati aggiunti ed altri sono stati ottimizzati per funzionare meglio sui MID e gli UMPC.

Le principali applicazioni incluse in Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04 sono:

• MID Browser, un web browser, basato su Gecko (lo stesso motore di Firefox e Flock), appositamente pensato per gli schermi piccoli (4-7 pollici) e dotato del supporto allo zoom.
• Pidgin per la messaggistica istantanea
• Cheese per la gestione delle web cam
• Claws Mail come mail client di default
• Moblin Media come player audio e video
• alcuni giochi come Neverball e Frozen Bubble
• FBReader per la lettura degli eBook
• e tante altre piccole applicazioni OpenSource

Ubuntu MID Edition, è stato pensato, in linea con la filosofia dei MID, per fornire un rapido accesso ad internet ed ai contenuti multimediali. Ed infatti offre:

• un supporto completo al Web 2.0/AJAX
• ottime capacità multimediali, che permettono di gestire al meglio: video, musica e foto
•  una suite di applicazioni capace di soddisfare le necessità di tutti gli utenti (genitori, studenti, ecc)
•  la possibilità di tenere a portata di mano tutto il meglio del Web 2.0: Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Dailymotion, giochi 3D, GPS, mappe e tanto altro

Inoltre, cosa molto importante, Ubuntu MID è "finger friendly", supporta cioè i touch screen. Potrete quindi lanciare, con un semplice tocco, le applicazioni. The Ubuntu MID Edition ha tratto molti benefici dall'Intel Moblin projects, come il web-browser e l'infrastruttura multimediale. Canonical ha per ora prodotto due immagini differenti di Ubuntu MID Edition. Una per piattaforme McCaslin, che utilizzano i processori A100 e A110 di Intel (quella del Samsung Q1) e una per piattaforme Menlow che utilizzeranno i nuovi processori Atom della Intel (quella della stazione di sviluppo Intel Crown Beach). Canonical ha però rilasciato anche un immagine KVM (ne ho parlato qui) di Ubuntu MID Edition, per permettere anche a chi non dispone di un MID supportato, di provare il suo nuovo prodotto.

Main booting OS is set as Vista Business edition (32-bit)

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardly Herron

And i must say..at first it was a bit hard to get used to, despite having done subjects like 005 (workin with linux), but after a while, i was sooo impressed with how much ubuntu pwns xp/vista visually AND performance wise. It pwns mac to. But mac is just shit to begin with so no surprises there :D

People who've grown up with just using XP/Vista, thus having minimal to no experience with the command line of windows will have at have trouble getting the hang of how to use ubuntu..or any linux distro for that matter. In fact this is one of the main reasons that ubuntu and linux distros are really yet to hit the market of the average user. The difficulty curve for the inexperienced on scale from 1-10 is about..6.

Luckily there are many guides and tutorials and an active community to support new and experienced users alike.

Lets get down to the main features:

Its free: OMFG HELL YEH! An OS that's free and actively supported by a steadily growing community. Not to mention said OS comes in many flavours, you're sure to find one that you'll like :D

Easily customizable: Plenty of options available to the user, everything from the login splash screen to the menu bar to the wallpaper to sidebar and optional docks can be customized with skins and themes made by the ubuntu/linux community. If you were so inclined, you could even set out and make up your own themes and backgrounds with the included arts software. From what i hear they are incredibly capable programs that even rival retail programs such as Photoshop. Have yet to see how this claim holds up though.

Open source: AND FOREVER WILL BE. Ubuntu and its brothers and sisters, including all the programs you can install from the repositories are all open source. What does this mean? It means these things will always be free and it existing applications will be able to be edited and made even better. New programs are being developed everyday.

ITS PRETTY!: If you think vista's aero theme kicked arse, then you're going to be blown away by Ubuntu 8's UI. Featuring kind of aero-ish menu bars and menus, Ubuntu also incorporates virtual desktops. At the moment Im only using 4 desktops, however, usually i tend to only use 1..force of habit from growing up on a diet of vista/xp <___< '' By simply pressing alt+ctrl+up ubuntu will scroll between the desktops as if you were spinning it on a cube. Dont get what i mean? Heres a youtube video to demonstrate.

If thats not cool. I dont know what is.

Gaming/applications: With the addition of a program called WINE, you'll be able to play/use many windows games and other applications in ubuntu. Notably you'll be able run games such as WoW using such a method. However there are a few things that just cant be run. full stop. The biggest of these is microsofts msn 8.5. Or any msn for the matter. Although, apparently it is possible to run older msn's ..But THERE IS A SOLOUTION. I've tried about 4-5 IM programs on ubuntu so far, and by far, the one that comes up heads and shoulders above the rest is Emesene. Although you cant chat appear offline, users will find that it pretty much does the job of msn live.

In fact i spent the better part of today in ubuntu and had it not randomly crashed i would still be using it. Before you say anything, its a hardware fault. Nothing to do with the actual OS. :D

That pretty much wraps it up for todays sales pitch for ubuntu 8.

Come back next time for part 2 :D

If you are asking your self What is Kiba Dock, Kiba Dock is a dock, in other words a way to access programs and windows in an interactive manner. One of the most common example today Mac OS X dock. Kiba Dock is specifically designed for Linux operating systems KDE and Ubuntu are the ones where people uses it the most, However, unlike the other systems available, it uses the Akamaru physics engine to render complex interactions.

Lets Get Started. In order to use Kiba Dock you have to have Compiz Fusion, Beryl or Compiz installed and running. Note: this is only for 32-Bit systems.

1. - First you have to install the dependencies. Open a terminal and leave it open trhough out the whole process.

sudo aptitude remove automake1.4

After that type this whole code like it is

sudo apt-get install fakeroot automake1.9 build-essential libpango1.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libglitz-glx1-dev librsvg2-dev libglade2-dev libxcomposite-dev subversion libtool libgtop2-dev python-gtk2-dev libgnome-menu-dev libgnomeui-dev libgnomevfs2-dev intltool libxml2-dev libglitz1-dev libcairo2 libdbus-1-dev libgtop2-7 libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomeui-0 librsvg2-2 python-feedparser libasound2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-0 pidgin-dev libpurple-dev

2. - Now we have to make the directory for Kiba Dock. Type each line one by one

mkdir kiba-dock

cd kiba-dock

Code:

svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/akamaru/ akamaru

Code:

svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dock/ kiba-dock

Code:

svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-plugins/ kiba-plugins

Code:

svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dbus-plugins/ kiba-dbus-plugins

3. - Type each line one at the time.

Code

cd akamaru/

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr

sudo make install

cd ..

Code

cd kiba-dock/

./autogen.sh

sudo make install

cd ..

Code

cd kiba-plugins/

./autogen.sh

sudo make install

cd ..

Code

cd kiba-dbus-plugins/

./autogen.sh

sudo make install

cd ..

4. - Now all that is left to do is type this and that should be it.

kiba-dock

After you type this on the terminal it should just said Kiba Dock or some thing like that, I forgot to take a screen shot of it. To Find Kiba Dock Go to Applications>Accessories>Kiba-Dock. If you want Kiba Dock to start up with the computer just Go to System>Preferences>Sessions and under start-up tab Name:Kiba-Dock, Command:kiba-dock.

Note: I am not trying to take the credit for this work I just followed the tutorial in this page Source

And Soon I will show you how to install Cairo Dock!

]]> http://badank.wordpress.com/?p=11 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:28:27 +0000 badank http://badank.wordpress.com/?p=11 Dear all,

Now i try to publish steps to activate wifi on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

Again, I use laptop Acer Aspire 4520 AMD Turion64 X2, atheros wireless.

Let start:

1. Open Terminal window to write a command line.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

2. Download ndiswrapper (make sure that you are already connected to the internet)

Type on the terminal these three command step by step :

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

3. Install Windows Wireless Driver Application.

In this case i use add/remove program.

Applications -> Add/Remove...

Click on System Tools, and then check on the Windows Wireless Drivers checkbox.

Continue with Apply changes.

4. Download your wireless device driver (net5211.inf file).

In case of you use atheros, just type "atheros xp" on the google.

make sure that you get file net5211.inf

save on a location.

5. Set file net5211.inf using Windows Wireless Drivers application.

System -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Drivers

Click on the "Install New Driver" and browse the location of file net5211.inf

Click install.

Now the driver has been installed.

To check it out, type on the terminal : ndiswrapper -l

The command should generate a response like this :

===========================================

engineer@BS001NB:~$ ndiswrapper -l
net5211 : driver installed
device (168C:001C) present (alternate driver: ath_pci)
engineer@BS001NB:~$

===========================================

6. ndiswrapper -m and ndiswrapper -ma

In using this command, based on my experience, you must login as root

Type on the terminal (root login) step by step:

ndiswrapper -m

ndiswrapper -ma

7. Check weather wifi succeed activated or not.

Type on the termonal : iwconfig

The command should appears wlan0 on the list, indicated that wifi has been activated.

8. Install a wifi manager application.

In this case i use RutilT WLAN Manager

You can use Add/Remove program to install that application.

Applications -> Add/Remove...

Click on Internet, and then check on the RutilT WLAN Manager checkbox.

Continue with Apply changes.

8. That's All.

Steve George, diretor de serviços corporativos da Canonical, anunciou em um blog que finaizou uma versão do sistema em Linux Ubuntu 8.04, em conjunto com a ValoSoft, para venda na rede de varejo Best Buy.

A caixa contém um CD Linux 8.04, um Guia Rápido de Iniciação e 60 dias de suporte da equipe Valusoft, treinada e apoiada pela Canonical, o que inclui instalação para início do uso do sistema. O preço é 19,99 dólares.

“O objetivo é fornecer aos usuários interssados no Ubuntu o software e o suporte convenientemente embalados num kit. Torná-la acessível por meio da Best Buy é uma oportunidade de chegar aos usuários que ainda não conhecem o sistema ou que não tenham banda larga grande o suficiente para fazer o download por si próprias”, disse George.

O box estará disponível também pelo site da Best Buy.

A embalagem deixa claro que a Ubuntu permite o uso de navegação na web, em PCs básicos, pacote de produtividade e e-mail sem qualquer software adicional. Comparando com o principal rival, o Windows Vista Home Premium, o pacote tem preço praticamente irrisório - 19,99 dólares contra  279,90 dólares.

O bom negócio para adicionar novos usuários é que o contrato de suporte de 60 dias vai facilitar às pessoas que iriam tremer só de pensar em instalar um sistema operacional uma garantia à mão.
Para aqueles que realmente não querem tentar instalar sozinhos, a equipe do Best Buy fará a instalação por 129,95 dólares. Isso também é mais barato que o Windows, mas, nesse caso, seria mais barato se dirigir até uma loja Ubuntu da Dell.

Além da Dell, outras empresas menores, como a LinuxCertified, também venderão o sistema pré-instalado.

Com ações como essa, e a onda do Linux para computadores de baixo custo e ultraportáteis, ao longo dos anos será tão fácil comprar um PC com Linux no ponto de venda como é fácil comprar um Mac hoje.

Per aggiungere un collegamento a una cartella o ad un file in questi due menù,aprire il terminale e digitare :

gedit  /home/nomeutente/.gtk-bookmarks

e aggiungere al file il percorso della cartella o del file,salvare il file e chiudere.Se per esempio si vuole aggiungere la cartella /home/nomeutente/Appunti basta aggiungere

file:///home/nomeutente/Appunti

Se si vuole rimuovere un collegamento,aprire il file .gtk-bookmarks ed eliminare la riga relativa al collegamento da rimuovere.

Ovviamente a posto di nomeutente va sostituito il vostro nomeutente.

Alla prossima

Instale el firewall Firestarter con:

$ sudo apt-get install firestarter

Al intentar habilitarlo me daba un error diciendo "El dispositivo eth0 no está preparado", Buscando encontré que para que funcione correctamente solo hay que editar el archivo  /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh.

en consola escribir:

$ sudo gedit /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh

buscar la linea:

MASK=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Mas | cut -d : -f 4`

y reemplazar la "a" de "Mas" por "á", quedando asi:

MASK=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Más | cut -d : -f 4`

Luego de eso funciono normalmente.

Para saber como configurar Firestarter en adslayuda.com hay un tutorial simple y util.

1. Menggunakan FTP Server contoh disini
2. Menggunakan HTTP contoh disini

Tutorial kali ini akan membahas yang menggunakan HTTP. Langkah-langkah persiapan :

1. Installah web server. gunakan synaptic lalu beri tanda paket2 berikut (apache2, php5, php5-common, php5-GD, phpmyadmin, mysql-server)
2. buat folder baru untuk meletakan file repository pada folder web (www)
   • $ sudo mkdir /var/www/repo
3. Masukan DVD1 lalu mount ke cdrom
   • $ mount /cdrom
4. Salin isi DVD ke folder yang telah kita siapkan, menggunakan perintah rsync
   • $ sudo rsync -avx --progress /cdrom/. /var/www/repo/
5. Tunggu hingga selesai, lalu keluarkan DVD dan ulangi langkah 3-5 (ganti DVD1 dengan 2-5) hingga DVD ke 5 selesai.

Dalam Ubuntu ada satu file yang berisi daftar seluruh file yang ada pada DVD tersebut. Berkas ini adalah Packages yang terletak dalam direktori dists/[distro]/[komponen]/binary-[arsitektur]/, misalnya dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/ (Direktori dists/ sendiri berada di bawah direktori dasar yang Anda buat sebelumnya, misalnya /var/www/repo/). Rincian Packages pada setiap DVD adalah:

• DVD1 main restricted
• DVD2 main universe multiverse
• DVD3 universe
• DVD4 universe
• DVD5 universe

Jadi Packages yang harus digabungkan ada 2 yaitu Packages untuk main dan universe. Gabungkan berkas (daftar isi file) yang ada pada setiap DVD caranya:

1. Masukan DVD1 lalu mount

   • $ mount /cdrom

2. Salin berkas Packages ke repository lokal

   • $ sudo cp /cdrom/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages  /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages

3. Keluarkan DVD1, lalu masukan DVD2, lalu mount

   • $ mount /cdrom

4. Gabungkan berkas Packages main yang ada pada DVD2

   • $ sudo cat /cdrom/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages >> /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages

5. Buat ulang arsip untuk Packages.gz dan Packages.bz2

   • cd /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386

   • gzip -9 -c Packages > Packages.gz

   • bzip2 -9 -c Packages > Packages.bz2

6. Lanjutkan dengan Paket dari universe, salin file (DVD2) ke direktori lokal

   • $ sudo cp /cdrom/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/Packages  /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/Packages

7. Keluarkan DVD2, masukan DVD3 lalu mount

   • $ mount /cdrom

8. Gabungkan berkas Packages universe yang ada pada DVD3

   • $ sudo cat /cdrom/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/Packages >> /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/Packages

9. Ulangi langkah 7-8 hingga DVD ke-5
10. Buat ulang arsip untuk Packages.gz dan Packages.bz2

    • cd /var/www/repo/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386

    • gzip -9 -c Packages > Packages.gz

    • bzip2 -9 -c Packages > Packages.bz2

Ganti source.list dari komputer klien ke ip komputer kita (server-misal ip server 192.168.0.1)

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list
  #tambahkan baris berikut ini
  deb http://192.168.0.1/repo hardy main restricted universe multiverse

Selamat mencoba

se você não quiser digitar todas as linhas de comando, basta copiar, e colar no consola (o atalho é CTRL+SHITF+V) ,  em alguns casos talvez pergunte se você deseja continuar [Y/n] bastar apertar Y de [YES], pois bem vamos lá.

Primeiro vamos adicionar um repositório para pordermos instalr alguns pacotes

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

depois disso vamos importar as public keys

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Agora vamos Instalar os plugins e alguns codecs

Primeiro vamos instalar o para formatos do microsoft win32

sudo apt-get install w32codecs

Agora um plugin para leitura de PDF

sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-plugins mozilla-acroread

O flash Player

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

O JVM - Java Virtual Marchine, para rodarmos aplicações java

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Se você quiser ter acesso a gravação em unidades de disco formatadas com NTFS (padrão Microsoft)

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

Para instalar o Audacious

sudo apt-get install audacious audacious-plugins audacious-plugins-extra audacious-crossfade

Instale também o MPlayer é um player multimedia muito bom

sudo apt-get install mplayer mozilla-mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins

Para gravar CD/DVD e etc

sudo apt-get install k3b libk3b2-mp3 normalize-audio transcode sox vcdimager

sudo apt-get install cdrdao vcdimager mjpegtools vcdtools transcode

sudo apt-get install movixmaker-2 normalize-audio mp3gain toolame

se você quer COPIAR um dvd no linux tipo o que você faz no windows com o DVDShirnk, instale esse software

sudo apt-get install k9copy mencoder

Bom pessoal acho que é só depois de instalar tudo isso seu Ubuntu deve ter ficado bem redondo, amanhã vou falar sobre Desktop 3D... até lá...

Ubuntu 8.04 - Firefox 3

Linux yang digunakan dalam workshop kali ini adalah distro Ubuntu versi Feisty Fawn (7.04). Hanya sekadar informasi saja, distro ini adalah distro Linux yang mengalami perkembangan paling pesat.

Oke, sekarang mari kita mulai proses instalasi Linux pada komputer kita.

1. Sebelum proses instalasi dilakukan, ada 2 kemungkinan yang mungkin terjadi.

· Anda sudah meng-install OS Microsoft Windows pada HD yang mau anda install dengan Linux

· Anda mempunyai HD yang benar-benar kosong, dan siap untuk diisi dengan Linux.

2. Anggaplah anda sudah memiliki OS Windows, saat ini anda harus mempartisi HD anda terlebih dahulu menggunakan software partisi untuk windows, apabila anda tidak ingin kehilangan windows anda. Software yang biasa digunakan biasanya adalah PowerQuest Partition Magic. *untuk tutorial partisi mungkin akan diajarkan di lain waktu*

3. Partisilah HD anda, sesuaikan dengan kebutuhan berapa Byte yang anda butuhkan untuk instalasi Linux anda, sangat disarankan terdapat lebih dari 10 GB partisi buat Linux.

4. Partisi untuk Linux itu memerlukan 2 partisi, salah satu nya adalah partisi utama dan satunya lagi partisi swap.

· Partisi utama itu terdapat banyak tipe format HD, diantaranya adalah ReiserFS, EXT2, dan EXT3. Sangat dianjurkan untuk menggunakan EXT 3 karena merupakan teknologi terbaru dari Linux itu sendiri, dan tipe format itu lebih stabil daripada pendahulu-pendahulunya. *untuk penjelasan lebih lanjut daripada tipe HD, dapat ditanyakan ke seniornya*

· Partisi swap adalah suatu partisi yang digunakan seperti Virtual Memory pada Microsoft Windows. Besar partisi yang dianjurkan segitar 100 MB ~ 200 MB.

5. Setelah proses partisi dilakukan, siapkan CD Linux Ubuntu anda. CD ini dapat diperoleh langsung dari situs repositori online kita yaitu kambing.vlsm.org, atau kalian dapat pesan langsung ke situs Ubuntu nya. Restart komputer anda, dan usahakan boot langsung dari CD Linux yang kita masukkan tadi.

6. Setelah itu muncul pilihan install Ubuntu, pilihlah itu.

7. Setelah masuk ke proses Instalasi, ikuti step-step yang perlu kita lakukan. Semua proses instalasi dan step-step yang kita lakukan itu hampir sama dengan Microsoft Windows yang kita gunakan.

8. Step terakhir adalah menentukan partisi Linux yang akan kita gunakan, pilihlah space HD utama dalam bentuk format EXT 3, dan sisanya dalam bentuk swap.

9. Setelah itu, proses instalasi akan dijalankan.

10. VOILA !!!! Dan anda siap menggunakan Linux Ubuntu sebagai OS kedua anda. Dan Microsoft Windows anda tidak hilang sama sekali.

11. Komputer anda sekarang akan automatis menjadi dual boot, dimana anda dapat menggunakan sistem operasi Windows dan Linux Ubuntu, tinggal pilih salah satu aja ^_^;;

12. Selamat Mencoba !!!

El problema radica en las licencias para estos, razón por la cual no son incluidos en la distro. Pues bien existen dos soluciones posibles. La primera es dejar de usar dichos codecs y cambiarlos por libres, que dicho sea de paso tienen una calidad inmejorable. La otra solución es seguir usándolos sea por la razón que sea. Es muy fácil implementar estos codecs como veremos a continuación.

Simplemente hacemos lo siguiente:

1. Aplicaciones > Accesorios > Terminal
   

   $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll libdvdread3 flashplugin-nonfree unrar

Una ves instalado esto ya podemos disfrutar de nuestros mp3s entre otros muchos codecs multimedia. Aunque aun no podemos disfrutar de nuestros dvds y algunos extras que se puede verificar en las fuentes de donde sustraje esta información. Así que instalamos los repositorios de Medibuntu. Hacemos lo siguiente:

1. $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Y agregamos al final de la lista todo esto tal como esta:
   ## Medibuntu - Ubuntu 8.04 "hardy"
   ## Please report any bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/

   deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

3. Guardamos el documento y lo cerramos. A continuacion todo en la terminal.
   

   $ wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

   $ sudo apt-get update

   $ sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs ffmpeg

Conclusión

he modificado unos cuantos detalles de Cesarius en este minitutorial y a continuación los pongo:

1. gstreamer0.10-gl obsoleto
2. libxine-main1 lo reemplaza el paquete libxine1-bin
3. libxine-extracodecs lo reemplaza libxine1-ffmpeg
4. libquicktime0 el paquete no esta disponible
5. totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin en su lugar totem-mozilla
6. Finalmente disfruten de todo.

Coloque o Cd do Ubuntu dentro do drive, deverá aparecer a seguinte janela.

Clicando em INSTALAR O UBUNTU DENTRO DO WINDOWS, aparecerá a seguinte tela:

Aqui escolha em que HD [se tiver mais que uma], vai ficar o Ubuntu

Aqui escolha a quantidade de espaço você quer que o Ubuntu ocupe

Aqui você escolha o Idioma do Ubuntu

E por fim, preencha o nome do usuario que você quer usar o ubuntu e digite uma senha, depois clique em instalar

Aqui o Ubuntu vai preparar os arquivos para a instalação.

preparando os aquivos e recuperando os caminhos.

Aqui ele começa a criar a imagem que vai ser usada na instalação do Ubuntu.

Depois de criar a imagem o Ubuntu cria os discos virtuais que serão usados no novo sistema.

Pronto, a Instalação foi concluida com sucesso, basta clicar no botão terminar, isso irá fazer com que a maquina reinicie, depois que a maquina estiver reiniciada escolha o Ubuntu no Menu de escolha de sistema operacional, o Ubuntu será carregado e sua intalação será concluida.

Bem  pessoal, acho que é só isso, é bem simples o procedimento, não tem muitas dificuldades, até mais...

El problema surgió al actualizar a la Ubuntu 8.04 (instalación de 0). El emulador simplemente no hace nada, no inicia ni nada. Solo quedaba poner en la terminal zsnes y ver que es lo que me sale.

Las ultimas lineas me dan una pista del posible error: Creating link /root/.kde/socket-graplo-laptop.
can't create mcop directory. Investigando un poco, esto se debe a que algunas aplicaciones en kde verifican la conexión a internet. Al usar Gnome no encuentra dicho directorio. Finalmente dí con la solución la cual es muy simple.

1. Para vamos a Aplicaciones > Accesorio > Terminal
2. $ mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/socket-$HOSTNAME/mcop
3. Ahora si funciona de manera correcta.

Tengo entendido que este problema también lo tiene Gubsy Gibbon. Por ultimo drifrutar de este emulador.

Sekitar awal Januari 2008 sewaktu pulang ke Indonesia, saya sempatkan untuk jalan-jalan ke Mangga Dua. Sebelumnya sudah direncanakan untuk membeli laptop di Indonesia, waktu itu yang menjadi target adalah Dell Vostro 1400. Tetapi untuk pembelian laptop tersebut harus memesan terlebih dahulu minimal 3 hari sebelumnya, terpaksa saya batalkan. Akhirnya, jatuhlah pilihan saya terhadap Lenovo Y410 seharga USD 870, spec yang gak beda jauh dengan Dell Vostro 1400.

Spec Lenovo Y410:

• Intel Core 2 Duo T5250
• RAM 1 GB
• HDD 160 GB
• Wireless, Bluetooth, Modem
• 14.1″ wide screen
• Webcam 1.3 M Pixels
• Multimedia Dolby Home Theater
• Non-OS

Laptop ini dirancang untuk Windows Vista sehingga CD drivernya hanya support untuk Windows Vista. Tetapi jangan kuatir, saat saya install Windows XP semua driver tersedia dan dapat di download di website resmi Lenovo (www.lenovo.com).

Selain OS produk Microsoft tersebut, Lenovo Y410 juga compatible ketika di install Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Proses install berjalan sangat mulus, hanya saja driver untuk sound tidak berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Setelah “ngoprek” google saya dapatkan link berikut: “Getting Sound to Work on your Ubuntu“

Nah.. sekarang webcamnya yang belum jalan.. ada solusinya?
