Installing Screenlets

Screenlets require Compiz desktop effects (or another compositing window manager) to be turned on.

Open your sources.list file by running this command in order to add the repository:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line to the end of the file:

deb http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu gutsy screenlets

Save and close the editor and run this command to authenticate the repository and update apt:

wget http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu/hendrikkaju.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add – && sudo apt-get update

And run this to install screenlets:

sudo apt-get install screenlets

Starting and Stopping Screenlets

The Screenlets manager can be started from the System->Preferences->Screenlets menu.

Kalo ntar masih minta Depedency ato Link-nya Macet cba pake langkah di bawah :

Follw the installation procedure.

sudo echo ‘deb http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu gutsy screenlets ‘ >> /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screenlets
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-extras
sudo apt-get install python-feedparser

This will install screenlets on your system.

Now go to Accessories->screenlets or simply run screenlets-manager from terminal.

Mudah bukan……Now What Next ???!!!

Lama banget gak nulis di Blog…kangen dech jadinya…

Hasil Install Mac4lin

Iseng mikir saat mau tidur eh ternyata dan ternnyata aku kepikiran kalo windows biasa bisa jadi vista atau windows bisa bermacam-macam untuk mengyerupai OS lain….karna aku tertarik banget sama tampilan dan menu yang terdapat pada OS Macintosh yang interaktif dan menyenangkan buat aku jadilah aku berangkat jam 10 malam ke warnet untuk browsing cari theme (tempilan) Mac OS tapi untuk linux ( karena saya adalah gratisan forever “linuxer gitu”).
Pada instalasi kali ini linux akan mengkonfigurasi theme yang ada pada Macintosh jadi dengan kata lain theme punyaknya Mac OS atau sistem tetep aja linux jadinya saya gak harus mempelajari sistem secara awal lagi
Persiapan…..!
Dowload dulu di internet softwarena…ni yang saya cuplikkan versi terbaru lo…
Linux dengan tampilan gnome minimal 2.0 atau setara sama ubuntu 7.10
Kopi cream plus rokok….
Baca Basmallah….

Proses Intalasi….!
1.Download Mac4lin (Mac Untuk Linux) di sini
2.Ekstrak Mac4lin dengan perintah : $ sudo tar zxvf nama_fil.tar.gz
3.Berikut perintah instalasi secara berurutan dengan menggunakan terminal :
$ cd Mac4lin
perhatikan apakah ada file yang berekstensi nama_file.sh <—-file instalasi
$ ./ nama_file.sh
4.Setelah instalasi diikuti dengan baik dan benar selesailah intalasinya jadi harus baca Hamdallah donk…

catatan : file ekstensi .sh dapat melakukan proses instalasi di seluruh OS linus karena .sh merupakan jajaran source yang belum baku, dengan kata lain belum terikat dengan salah satu distro linux atau berekstensi .deb , .rpm dsb…. “JADI Mac4lin DAPAT DIINSTALL PADA DISTRO TURUNAN LINUX YANG LAIN” SELAMAT MENCOBA …

My old instructions on setting up internet access from Ubuntu-7.10 via a mobile phone from Telstra or Optus on Ubuntu Linux. Connecting to wireless internet plans via bluetooth. Tested with Next G, (HSDPA) and GPRS.

Tested phone hardware:

• iMate JasJam
• Nokia 6110 Navigator
• Nokia 6120 Classic (ref)

Drop me a note if you have successfully (or not) tested this guide with other phones

Step 1: Creating an rfcomm dun connection via bluetooth

Computer <-bluetooth-> Mobile Phone <-gprs-> Internet

I will not run through setting up bluetooth devices here. Using Ubuntu 7.10 no real configuration was necessary for my laptop to be able to see my phone.

First pair the phone with the computer. I initiated this from my phone, and a passkey popup appeared in my systray and after entering the same password on both devices pairing was successful. You then need to find the mac (hardware) address of you phone and the channel it advertises it’s dun service on. On my Nokia 6110 it’s always been channel 4, but on my iMate, sometimes it’s 3, sometimes it’s 4. I should write a python script to automate this soon, to supply you with a list of dun channels and devices and let you connect to one.

~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        00:17:E3:6D:58:73       PocketPC
        00:1B:AF:DB:29:3D       Nokia6110

Here for example, the mac address of my Nokia is 00:1B:AF:DB:29:3D.

Now lets find the dun ports availavable

~# sdptool search dun

Searching for dun on 00:17:E3:6D:58:73 ...

  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 3

Searching for dun on 00:1B:AF:DB:29:3D ...
Service Name: Dial-Up Networking
Service RecHandle: 0x10018
Service Class ID List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 4
Language Base Attr List:
  code_ISO639: 0x454e
  encoding:    0x6a
  base_offset: 0x100
Profile Descriptor List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
    Version: 0x0100

From that output you can see the dun channel for the iMate if 3 and the Nokia is 4

Now we need to bind to one of those channels. This takes the form of:

sudo rfcomm bind <rfcomm_port> <mac> <dun_channel>

And using the example of the the iMate, I would use:

~# sudo rfcomm bind 0 00:17:E3:6D:58:73 3

Other handy commands are:

~# rfcomm
rfcomm0: 00:1B:AF:DB:29:3D channel 4 closed
~# sudo rfcomm release 0
~# rfcomm

rfcommlists all connected channels and their status

rfcomm release <rfcomm_port>closes that channel again.

I have found it fairly safe to leave the rfcomm channel connected across sessions as well and phone reboots, but it will need to be reconnected on each reboot unless the connection is put into /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

I have not put mine into rfcomm.conf because the iMate changes channel on me and it depends on which phone I use. I know I could make an rfcomm.conf entry for each one, but I just havnt got round to it yet.

Step 2: Creating config files

I will run through the files that need to be created for bigpond. There is actually one line that has to be changed for Optus, and I will note that on the way. If you are a neat freak (or are setting up both interfaces like me) then also change the names of the files to optus, optus-connect, and optus-disconnect and change the connect and disconnect lines to match.

/etc/ppp/peers/bigpond

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/bigpond-connect"
disconnect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/bigpond-disconnect"
debug
/dev/rfcomm0
defaultroute
usepeerdns
user "guest"

/etc/ppp/peers/bigpond-connect

ABORT           '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'
''              \rAT
TIMEOUT         12

TIMEOUT         10
SAY             "\nwaiting for connect...\n"
CONNECT         ""
SAY             "\nConnected."
SAY             "\nIf the following ppp negotiations fail,\n"
SAY             "try restarting the phone.\n"

(Change “telstra.internet” to “internet” if you are using Optus)

/etc/ppp/peers/bigpond-disconnect

ABORT           "BUSY"
ABORT           "ERROR"
ABORT           "NO DIALTONE"
SAY             "\nSending break to the modem\n"
""              "\K"
""              "\K"
""              "\K"
""              "+++ATH"
""              "+++ATH"
""              "+++ATH"
SAY             "\nPDP context detached\n"

Step 3: File changes needed

Append to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

"guest" * "guest" *

Append to /etc/ppp/pap-secrects

"guest" * "guest" *

Append to /etc/network/interfaces

iface bigpond inet ppp
    provider bigpond

(bigpond references will become optus if you changed the names of the files earlier to match)

Step 4: Testing

The easiest way to monitor the connection is tail -f /var/log/messagesin a second terminal while activating the connection in the first terminal.

To start the connection:

~# pon bigpond

To stop the connection

~# poff bigpond

A transcript of my log file of a successfull connection and disconnection via telstra.

If that was successful you should now be able to start and stop the connection via NetworkManager.

Closing Notes

• I know internet via phone is not supplied by bigpond, but it’s easier for me to remember
• I found the iMate JASJAM to need a lot of resetting due to either the phone crashing, or no longer responding to dialup requests
• It does not matter what the username and password are. I just could not get pppd to connect without one.
• You do NOT need to start the Wireless Modem application on the iMate for this to work.
• I have seen people put quite a lot of options into /etc/ppp/peers/bigpond type files. I have put the minimum in I need for it to work reliably for me. Your mileage may vary.
• NetworkManager does not show any connection status for dial up sessions, I should check to see if there is a bug filed yet.

PostBooks is an excellent cross-platform commercial open source ERP / accounting software suite. These are my old instructions from installing PostBooks in Ubuntu-7.10.

This document will give you setup instructions for installing PostBooks from scratch. Ie, no previous install of postgresql or PostBooks on the system. You will need to read between the lines if your install does not fit that description.

Download PostBooks

Download the postbooks init and postbooks-empty (or quickstart/demo) to /tmp. You can find the latest files here. Ie:

wget -P /tmp http://downloads.sourceforge.net/postbooks/init-2.3.0beta1.sql?use_mirror=optusnet  \
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/postbooks/postbooks_empty-2.3.0beta1.backup?use_mirror=optusnet

Install PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

At this time I also install openssh-server mc and vim. If your more comfortable using an editor other than vim, just replace any mention of vim with your preference.

Create mfgadmin

Now to create the mfgadmin user in postgresql. The default mfgadmin password is mfgadmin. Please change this upon first connecting with the PostBooks client.

sudo -u postgres psql -U postgres -f /tmp/init-2.3.0alpha1.sql template1

Create a company

Now we create an ‘company’ database. You could create a few databases here if needed, using

sudo -u postgres createdb -h localhost -U mfgadmin mfg

Restore PostBooks to the company

sudo -u postgres pg_restore -h localhost -U mfgadmin -d mfg /tmp/postbooks_empty-2.3.0alpha1.backup -v

Allow network access to postgresql

to the following files add the indicated lines:

sudo vim /etc/postgresql/8.2/main/pg_hba.conf
host all all 172.16.80.0/24 md5

sudo vim /etc/postgresql/8.2/main/postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = '*'

And now restart postgresql

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 restart

Finished

You should now be able to open the PostBooks client application and connect to the ‘mfg’ database with the username and password mfgadmin/mfgadmin

If you want to create another company just go back to the Create a company step and replace mfg with your desired company database name.

Was sich Adobe nun geleistet hat, das kann man nur als schlechten Witz bezeichnen: Adobe Air 1.5 ist zwar endlich für Linux erschienen. Unterstützt wird aber nicht etwa die LTS-Version 8.04 oder gar die aktuelle Version 8.10 – das wäre wahrlich zuviel verlangt.

Unterstützt wird u.a. Ubuntu 7.10. Eine nun schon ein Jahr alte Linux-Distribution. Was sich die Adobe-Planer dabei gedacht haben, ist mir schleierhaft. Eine völlig unbegreifliche Entscheidung.

There are many computer books come with CHM format.

Gnochm is a CHM file viewer. It is designed to integrate nicely with Gnome. Gnochm has some really nice features for viewing chm files.

Installing Gnochm

sudo apt-get install gnochm

Simply click on the Applications menu in the Accessories section to start Gnochm and open your chm files.

How to Convert .chm ?

Under Linux, you can view a CHM file with the xchm viewer. But sometimes that’s not enough. Suppose you want to edit, republish, or convert the CHM file into another format such as the Plucker eBook format for viewing on your Palm. To do so, you first need to extract the original HTML files from the CHM archive.

This can be done with the CHMLIB (CHM library) and its included helper application extract_chmLib.

Install Chmlib in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libchm-bin

Convert .chm files in to HTML files

If you want to convert .chm files in to HTML files use the following command

extract_chmLib book.chm outdir

where book.chm is the path to your CHM file and outdir is a new directory that will be created to contain the HTML extracted from the CHM file.

Convert .chm files in to PDF files

First you need to install htmldoc. HTML processor that generates indexed HTML, PS, and PDF.HTMLDOC is a program for writing documentation in HTML and producing indexed HTML, PostScript, or PDF output (with tables of contents). It supports most HTML 3.2 and some HTML 4.0 syntax, as well as GIF, JPEG, and PNG images.

sudo apt-get install htmldoc

If you want to use htmldoc type the following command in terminal

htmldoc

Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen here you can choose the html file and convert them to pdf,ps

Happy Learning.

Iată aşa o situaţie:

Ave-am WinXP instalat. Apoi am instalat Ubuntu 7.10. Ultimul mi-a înlocuit boot-ul cu GRUB. La un moment dat mi-a murit XP-ul şi a trebuit să-l re-instalez. Respectiv, GRUB-ul a plecat “pe apa sâmbetei”. Boot-ul din XP nu vedea Linux-ul.

Am umblat o grămadă căutând o soluţie şi iat-o:

1. Boot în Ubuntu 7.10 (eu am făcut-o utilizând Ubuntu LiveCD dar se poate şi cu Explore2fs de exemplu) şi copiaţi menu.1st din boot/grub în root la partiţia XP (c:\).

2. Editaţi boot.ini de pe discul c: a partiţiei XP şi adaugaţi o linie c:\grldr=”GRUB”.

3. Restart şi intraţi în XP în cazul în care aţi trecut punctele 1 şi 2 din Ubuntu LiveCD. Descarcaţi GRUB4DOS.

5. Extrageţi zip-ul şi copiaţi file-ul grldr în root la partiţia XP (c:\).

6. Restart-aţi şi selectaţi GRUB din meniul Boot.ini ceea ce va start-a GRUB loader-ul de meniul căruia veţi putea alege UBUNTU 7.10.

7. Şi gata. Avem acces la Linux

Dacă ştiţii alte soluţii, poftim la comentarii

Open Terminal :-

1)Graphical way :

gksudo nautilus ~/.local/share/Trash

2) Direct Way :

sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

WARNING: THE COMMAND USED IN THE SECOND EXAMPLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF USED INCORRECTLY!!

Java

Sun Microsystems have developed Java, which is many things depending on who you ask. It is a language, and an execution environment and probably many more things. On this page Java refers to the software that executes programs compiled to Java byte codes (akin to machine language).

Installation

In order to run Java programs and Java applets, you must have a Java environment installed. The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default, and is usually fine for most purposes. You may, however, have a need to run the Sun flavor of Java if something does not work correctly.

To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 7.04 or later running on Intel or PowerPC platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install either the openjdk-6-jre package or the sun-java6-bin package. (Note: PowerPC version is slow).

To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 running on Intel x86 platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install the sun-java5-bin package.

Note: The same commands will work under Xubuntu/Kubuntu (using Add/Remove or the Adept Package Installer).

See JavaInstallation for details about installation of other flavors of Java.

Choosing the default Java to use

Just installing new Java flavours does not change the default Java pointed to by /usr/bin/java. You must explicitly set this:

• Open a Terminal window
• Run sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the current configuration and possibilities.
• Run sudo update-java-alternatives -s XXXX to set the XXX java version as default. For Sun Java 6 this would be sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
• Run java -version to ensure that the correct version is being called.

You can also use the following command to interactively make the change;

• Open a Terminal window
• Run sudo update-alternatives --config java
• Follow the onscreen prompt

Cairo-Dock is an animated launch bar similar to SimDock or AWN. You can use it to launch applications and utilize small applets that live on the bar. It lacks some of the visual effects provided by AWN, but it my experience it runs a little faster.

This application is an continuation of the abandoned GNOME-Dock project. According to the Ubuntu Wiki:

Procedure For Installation :-

Add the repository to System->Administration->Software Sources->Third Party Software->Add:
deb http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu gutsy cairo-dock

Click Reload.
Click here to install if you have apt-url installed with firefox and you added the above repository or:
Open up synaptic:
System->Administration->Synaptic and search for cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plug-ins then click install.

Once Installed you can access Cairo Dock via Applications->System Tools->Cairo Dock
Cairo-Dock has an update function so you will not need a repository or need to download it again

Check here for more plugins and addons

Ciao a tutti!

Nella sezione Ubuntu&C si è aggiunta una nuova guida, forse più dedicata ai miei colleghi fruitori di WordPress… Ma in fondo tutti possono provare!

A presto…!

I had this amazingly infuriating problem up until a short while ago, whenever I edited the programs to boot at start time, the sessions manager (System -> Preferences -> Sessions) immediately forgot my changes, without an error box or anything. After a tip from the forums, I ran it in the terminal, which pinpointed the problem, the system couldn’t write to a folder called autostart in the folder .config.

Fair enough, so I changed permissions on this folder to be writable by all. Still no luck.

After about a month of being bloody pissed off with this arrangement, but unable to fix it, I happened across a tip that suggests deleting the folder and recreating it. So simple, but it might just work….

And it did! So if you’re having the same problem, heres how to go about fixing it.

1. Open a terminal and run the command “cd .config”

2. Now, check the permissions of the files in this folder, run “ls -l”, this lists the properties of the files within the current folder. We’re interested in the properties of the “autostart” folder.

3. Find the line corresponding to the autostart folder, it will be the top one, or very close to it, now, after the series of letters ( e.g rwrx–r–rw etc.) it should list your username as the owner of the folder. If you see ‘root’ here, this may be your problem, you can remedy it by running the following command,

“sudo chown username autostart” (Replacing ‘username’ with your username obviously).

4. Try the sessions manager again, if it doesn’t fix your problem, we’ll move onto the next step.

5. Once again navigate to the .config folder, this time we’re going to delete the folder and recreate it, so run the following command, it will do both operations at once.

“sudo rm autostart;mkdir autostart”

6. This should fix the problem, so give sessions manager a go again.

Let me know if this works for you, it drove me crazy for a while, hopefully you found this post before it does the same to you!

BTW – I’ve typed this whole post without looking at the keyboard once, my own very blunt way of teaching myself to touch type! Its a pain in the arse, but I’ll let you know if it works!

I just set up conky on my Hardy machine, its as simple as can be, a quick “sudo apt-get install conky” did it for me.

The cool thing about it is that you specify exactly how it works, by creating and editing a file in your home directory called .conkyrc , this file is a little hard to understand so you’re better to (like I did) use a pre configured file, I’ll post mine here, along with a screenshot. It makes your desktop look seriously l33t!

t’s funny how some people react when I tell them I use Linux. Sometimes they express the sentiment that I must be very computer savvy. Other’s get caught up in all the brand loyalty hype and still some have never heard of Linux! I kid you not! The truth of the matter is that I switched partly because Windows no longer offered me any challenges and reliability became an issue. The most common question I get asked whenever I present a public speaking seminar is “Why did you switch to Linux?”Well… for all those who asked, here’s the long winded answer.
