Google contact yang ada di android juga lancar diunduh, tapi ada sedikit bug di WP8, yaitu bila anda memiliki kontak dengan tipe nomor telepon adalah tipe “Other”, anda harus mengubahnya dulu lewat Google Contact (buka di browser PC) ke “Mobile” atau “Home”.

Nah, sekarang bagaimana kalau WP8 dihubungkan di Ubuntu? Saya mencoba dengan Ubuntu 10.04, tidak merespon, Kubuntu 12.04 tidak merespon juga, tapi dengan Ubuntu 12.04 lancar. Saya menggunakan Live USB untuk Ubuntu 12.04, jadi betul-betul bekerja out-of-the-box.

Di Ubuntu 12.04, Nokia Lumia 520 dikenali sebagai MTP Device, jadi bisa langsung diakses lewat nautilus. Proses Drag-n-Drop juga lancar, walau ada beberapa file yang error saat dihapus (entah kenapa). Foto bisa dipindahkan langsung dari memori handphone ke kartu memori/PC. Semua lancar.

Di internet sempat beredar kabar bahwa kartu memori di-enkripsi di perangkat Windows Phone, tapi waktu saya mencoba ternyata tidak di-enkripsi. Saya bisa langsung menambahkan lagu ke kartu memori lewat PC (lebih cepat daripada lewat kabel data) dan langsung dikenali, hanya saja file playlist dengan format *.m3u tidak dikenali. Padahal itu salah satu cara saya untuk membuat playlist dengan mudah di Linux (sebagai tambahan, Blackberry bisa membaca file *.m3u).

Saya jadi tidak sabar pengen beli Ubuntu Phone (semoga dibawah 2 juta harganya..). Wkwkwkwk..

Popular solution, didn’t work for me

Step 1: change brightness to your desired level and then issue this command in a terminal:

cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

Take note of the number you get, which is your current brightness level.

Step 2: edit rc.local as root

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Copy this line

echo X > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

above the existing ‘exit 0′ line, replacing X with the value you got in Step 1.

Step 3: restart.

You can find more detailed instructions and workarounds here

Not so popular, but worked for me

Step 1: edit /etc/default/grub as root

Step 2: look for the line containing

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”

and modify it so it looks like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor”

Step 3: restart

All the above tasks can be done using the terminal. However, if you prefer the easy method, then install GRUB Customizer – it lets you carry out the above tasks easily from the application (GUI) without actually knowing how to do it from the command line.

This brief tutorial is going to show you how to easily install GRUB Customizer in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail and how to change the background image of the boot menu.

When you’re ready, press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, run the commands below to add its PPA archive.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

Next, run the commands below to update your system and install GRUB Customizer.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

After installing the program, go to Ubuntu Dash and search for it, the launch it. When opens, go to the Appearance Settings tab and select a background image. Save your settings and restart.

That’s it!

To revert or undo the changes, go back to GRUB Customizer and select the Appearance Settings tab, then remove the background image and save.  Or click the Revert Changes button at the top right of the program and save.

If you want to completely remove GRUB Customizer, run the commands below to get rid of its PPA archive.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

Finally, run the commands below to completely uninstall the program.

sudo apt-get purge grub-customizer && sudo apt-get autoremove

Enjoy!

chroot_local_user=NO
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

2. Create the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list and enter the usernames which you want to jail.
/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

userA
userB
userC
...

3. By default, the chroot folder has to be non-writable. The simplest way is to change the user home folder permission but this is not a perfect solution. If you are looking for a better solution. please refer to this.

chmod a-w /home/<username>

4. Restart the vsftpd.

/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

5. Connect to the server using any FTP client, the jailed FTP account should work.

Done =)

Congratulations and welcome.  All three are first time council members.

The Kubuntu Council is the governing body of Kubuntu. The Kubuntu Council has three primary roles:

• Approve development plans for future Kubuntu releases
• Approve Kubuntu membership applications
• Resolve disputes within the Kubuntu project

Fortunately, we had our own mini vUDS today so we’ve now got a good idea what we want to have the new council approve.

Once upon a time not long ago, I left Ubuntu 10.10.   Not that I wanted to it’s just that I needed to be able to update my program packages as well as keep up with security updates. 

I thought it was a real shame that 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was not an LTS release of Ubuntu.  Which is why I went on and on as to why I didn’t wish to depart from it.  Who knew that only a few short weeks later I would be leaving on a jet plane.

Don’t know when i’ll be back again.

Fast forward about a month later and after trying XFCE I found that I just wasn’t satisfied with that, so I moved on to Cinnamon.  It’s not that I hated it, it’s just I got really really homesick for Gnome 2.

But you know what?  I’m not gon’ cry, I’m not gon’ cry I’m not gonna shed no tears!!

You know why?  Well, because of something called Gnome 3 classic.  

Lol! I just randomly thought of an old commercial I saw as a kid.  It may be familiar to you as well.

I like the application and the places tabs those are familiar to me, so are the indcators on the upper right corner of the screen.  Also the top and bottom panes are cool as well.

I digress,  not only did I change desktop environments, but I changed distro.  OK, I know I know Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu and is the grandchild of the Debian project but I had already fallen in love with it several years ago so I went ahead and made that leap.  

And no….It wasn’t a Quantal one at all!!!  No thanks, Quetzal just doesn’t sound very appetizing to me.  So I decided to add more Mint into my life as it makes for a very nice tea.

Speaking of tea.  Mate isn’t so bad either but to be truthful adding Cinnamon and Mint together is even better.

My name might not be Mikey but I like it I like it!!!

this is how to install lamp in ubuntu .. open your terminal

sudo apt-get install tasksel

Now to install LAMP, type the taskel command in terminal :
sudo  tasksel

choose lamp

Insert mysql root  password

and install PHP MY ADMIN

sudo  apt-get  install  phpmyadmin

login to php my admin use browser : 
http://ip/phpmyadmin   or http://localhost/phpmyadmin


source : http://www.unixmen.com/install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat/

Open the terminal and type;

$ sudo  apt-get install kde-workspace-dev kdelibs5-dev build-essential
$ sudo  apt-get install libdeclarative-multimedia
$ sudo  apt-get install libtag1-dev
$ sudo  apt-get install kffmpegthumbnailer
$ sudo apt-get install nepomuk-core-dev

Build Instructions

(Common to both Ubuntu and Fedora)

Open the terminal and type;

$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-mediacenter
$ cd plasma-mediacenter
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config –prefix`
$ make -j(n+1)          // n = number of cores
$ sudo make install

install ntfs-3g if you do not already have it installed.

sudo apt-get -y install ntfs-3g

mount the drive by specifying the device id and folder where you want the mounted contents to appear.

mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdf4 /home/user1/windoze/

done. the windows hibernation file has been deleted, and you can access the contents of the drive. be aware that deleting the hibernation file obviously means that any of the information that was being used at the time the disk was put into hibernation will be lost.

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "minimize,maximize,close:"

Before

After

Note that the code above will move the buttons to the left but won’t put them in the right order. If you want to put them in the same order as the window buttons on all your other programs, change the order so “close” is the first item in the above command. The colon in that string indicates the placement of the buttons, so if you want to move the buttons back to the right, move the colon to the beginning of the string (and of course reorder the buttons, unless you like a little bit of inconsistency just to screw with other users on a particular machine).

Credit goes to Leet Tips for the command, though not the explanation (that was me).

Para identificar el problema, decidí hacerle una prueba de memoria con un CD de Linux  y Bingo! Resulta que era una memoria RAM que tenía problemas. Realicé la prueba varias veces utilizando una sola memoria e intercambiándolas de slot, así me di cuenta cuál estaba dañada, la removí y problema resuelto.

Si tienes el mismo problema intenta esto, también puedes dejarme un comentario con tu experiencia o enviarme un Tweet  y así podemos ayudar a más personas o contestarte alguna inquietud que tengas.

PD: La laptop que utilicé era una Toshiba Satellite L305, pero el problema debe ser similar en otras laptops.

I wanted this done to reclaim some real-estate on my screen. The blacklist has been hard-coded in the binary and we need to replace the contents in order the work around it.

The workaround:

> cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies
> sudo sed -i 's/Eclipse/Xclipse/' libappmenu.so

This works great, however I’ll suggest taking  a backup of libappmenu.so before changing it. Good luck!

Dude, you got a Linux-powered Dell! In all the years I’ve reviewed laptops I’ve never been as pleasantly surprised by an Ultrabook as I was with the Dell XPS 13 Developers Edition. This ultrathin, ultralight SSD laptop originally came in Windows flavor but, much to my surprise, I far prefer the Ubuntu edition of this device. It is solidly built, acceptably priced given the solid state drive, and surprisingly powerful.

Rewind

I’ve been using some form of POSIX-compliant operating system for over a decade but I must admit that I have been remiss in my Ubuntu installations. Whereas I was once a KDE kid with some Gnome leanings, my distro knowledge stopped at about Mandrake and picked up again as Ubuntu began its rise to glory. That said, I was curious to see what Linux looks like these days. In short, it looks great.

The laptop itself is well-made. An aluminum top and pane of Gorilla Glass protects the 13-inch screen and it weighs a little less than 3 pounds. The entire package is self-contained, solid, and quite portable.

The laptop, codenamed Sputnik, is a concerted effort by Dell to make sure everything on the device works well. It includes a number of Dell-specific packages – you can see a list here – but it supports most updates to the OS and attendant software and seamlessly upgraded to the latest version, 13.04, on top of the stock 12.04 Dell provides.

If you haven’t used Linux on a desktop you’ll be surprised at how uneventful it is. Everything “just works,” from the camera to the disk encryption to the update downloads, and there is little of the traditional futzing around with scripts and drivers when attempting to add hardware or fix broken peripherals. As a non-power-user who once wrote a script to re-initialize my audio chip every time I woke my computer from sleep, it was a pleasure to see the XPS 13 boot up without issue and worked quite seamlessly with most devices I tried with it. Arguably, with only two USB ports (one 3.0, one 2.0) and a DisplayPort jack, you’re not going to be adding much to the mix.

The GeekBench score for this particular model hovered at around 5,500, which is solid performance. The MacBook Air, for example, gets about 6,600 on a good day and the Core i7 hits about 7,000 although it can top out at about 10,000 depending on the machine. 5,500, while not ideal, is still solid. The laptop lasted for 7 hours of standard use, about par for the course for a laptop of this size.

Using the laptop was a dream. I was able to set up my environment quite quickly and seamlessly and after a few hours I quickly picked up a workflow that allowed me to write, edit photos, and post from the field. The lack of an SD card was quite disheartening, to be sure, but an external dongle helped me make short work of that issue. I used GIMP to crop and resize photos, Vim to edit my posts and writing, and connected to web-based versions of my favorite cloud services if I needed access to files or social media.

The best part about the XPS 13 Developers Edition, however, is Dell’s own support offerings. It’s clear that releasing an Ubuntu into the wild without good support would be suicide for the product. To that end, the company is offering one year of “ProSupport” that includes round-the-clock North American tech support and next-day on-site servicing. While Dell Hell is still a fresh memory in my mind, at least, this offering is more in line with corporate support than end-user Windows management.

Who is it for?

Designers

No. Unless you’re a GIMP master, this probably isn’t the laptop for you. To be fair it’s surprisingly thin and light but it has no SD card slot, making it a hard sell for the designers among you. Working solely on the web? Sure, you could feasibly get away with doing a little CSS or HTML on this thing, but you’re probably better served with a laptop running more photo-editing applications.

Writers will also be a little put off by the lack of native support for some of their tools. However, if you’re a markdown/plain text editor kind of person, this laptop connected with a revision control system could be a winner. It obviously depends on your workflow and, although I was able to pick it up fairly quickly, Ubuntu might not be the place to look for absolute ease-of-use.

Founders

Yes. To paraphrase Justin Timberlake, a laptop isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? An Ubuntu laptop. While you may annoy most of your co-workers with your insistence on running LibreOffice, this laptop is more than enough to run a few spreadsheets on and, in addition, build a business with. Seamless connectivity to most cloud services is a large benefit and thanks to Dell’s CloudLauncher app you can quickly and easily spin up nodes with a few keystrokes. Best of all, you’re not going to be another me-too entrepreneur with a MacBook Air and a dream (and you don’t have to use Windows 8), which is a great feeling

Programmers

Yes. This is a more-than-capable programmer’s machine and all of the care Dell put into this laptop really helps it shine as a developer’s device. For example, Dell has added Profile Tool, a method for “cloning” a workspace between laptops. This allows you to manage dependencies, preferred system tools, and tool chains. An Ars reviewer notes that these Profiles could become a way to “share” setups between programmers as well as a method to see how programming “superstars” have set up their machines. In short, Dell wants to make it clear that they care about developers with this device.

Bottom Line

It doesn’t get much cooler than the XPS 13 – and that’s high praise coming from an unreformed Apple addict. While I’m not sure this would become my everyday carry laptop, I could definitely see it replacing a similarly outfitted Windows machine and, if I ever felt the need to go full Doctorow when it comes to encryption, open software, and paranoia, this is the device I’d choose.

The Smart Scope feature that was originally scheduled for Ubuntu 13.04 is now due to be added in Ubuntu 13.10; Smart Scopes should also provide the ability to control precisely which sources are, or are not, queried for information, rather than the current on/off switch for network queries. In addition to YouTube and Amazon, the Ubuntu Dash will search several dozen other online sources, but the developers say it will only display relevant search results. Another new item on the agenda for Ubuntu 13.10 is the ability to buy music from within the Dash interface. The developers are also planning to introduce various improvements for Unity 7 and a new version of Compiz that is designed to enhance the performance of the Ubuntu desktop.

Another topic of discussion was the question of whether Chromium should replace Firefox as the distribution’s default browser; however, no decision has so far been made. An overview of further potential new features for Saucy Salamander is available on the blueprints page on Launchpad.

According to the current development schedule, Ubuntu 13.10 is due to be released on 17 October; a beta release is scheduled for 26 September. The current development state is reflected by the daily builds that are automatically generated and tested for bugs by the build system.

However, as we know, .10 releases are near to worthless piece of craps, so keep with 12.04.2 or 13.04 until 14.04 arrives!! Except if you like to hunt a billion bugs and getting insane silently at your desk….then it will be fun!

Solution

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/85191944/libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_amd64.deb

(change amd64 to i386, if y on 32bit)

1. Show all of the start-up applications in the “Startup Applications Preferences”, which  by default Ubuntu does not show. Open the terminal and type:

sudo sed -i ‘s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g’ /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

Now turn off anything that you do not need to run.

2. Reduce the Boot Menu Delay by opening a terminal and typing;

gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

Now look through the file until you find “GRUB_TIMEOUT”, change it to a lower value by pressing the arrow keys.

When you are done save the file by typing;

sudo update-grub2

sudo apt-get remove unity-shell-shopping

Then log out and log in again, and what annoyed you will be gone ;-)

STEPS

• Open up a terminal
• Type in xinput list and find the number of your mouse. Below are my results. The number for my mouse is thus 10.

• Next, find the numbers corresponding to the back and middle click button. Type in xinput test 10. Now all data from your mouse gets displayed on the screen. Without moving the mouse, use the back button and middle click button. To end press control C. Results:

#!/bin/bash
NUM1=2.0
NUM2=3.0
if (( $(echo "$NUM1 < $NUM2" | bc -l) ));
then
  echo $NUM1 is less than $NUM2
else
  echo $NUM2 is less than $NUM1
fi
