Ganux - Terengganu Linux

Dah lama rasanya x update blog ni. Sebenarnya 2-3 minggu sudah blog ni kena attack ngan spam sampai kena blacklist ngan google and firefox 3. Biasala malas nk update software wordpress punya pasal. Apa2 pun terima kasih kepada abg ganux dan abg hardyweb yang membantu menyelesaikan masalah ni bersama2… Opps tak lupa kepada twitter yang menghubungkan kami semua.

Ok enuff of the intro. Aku baru beli Modem USB Maxis Broadband (ladybird plak tu) utk mengisi kehausan Internet aku (My Internet Thirst). Modem ini nombor modelnya ialah Huawei E220. Aku rasa Maxis Broadband cam tak baper best.. but we’ll talk about that later.

Fedora dan Ubuntu terbaru detect automatically modem tu. Just plug-and-play. Masukkan modem, tunggu kejap, click on network-manager and korang akan nampak GSM Modem akan disenaraikan disitu. Click dan automatically dia akan dail dan seterusnya anda akan terus connect ke Internet.

Tapi pagi ni dia buat hal plak modem tu. Apparently kalau anda run modem tu dalam windows atau kadangkala jikalau modem tu crash dalam Linux, dia akan run sebagai USB storage dan autorun utk install driver dalam windows. Dalam keadaan ini modem anda serupa la dgn paperweight dalam Linux.

More info ada disini - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/105545

So cara2 utk reset semula modem tersebut dlm linux adalah seperti berikut:-

Ubuntu:-

sudo rmmod usb-storage
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003

Fedora:-

su -
rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003

Lps tu masukkan semula modem tersebut dan anda akan boleh gunakan modem itu seperti biasa.

Aku nak share link utk sesapa nk belajar zypper package manager utk OpenSUSE secara express:-

Salam Semua.

Aku baru je install OpenSUSE 11 KDE 4 Desktop. Saja nk familiarize sket ngan OpenSUSE new repository management (zypper) yang terlalu digembar-gemburkan dan test KDE4 yg jauh lebih polish dari distro2 yang lain.

Malangnya, baru je nak update sistem aku guna GUI, kantoi crash error ni plak:-


susekde4:/home/wariola # zypper update
Building repository 'Updates for 11.0' cache [done]
Error building the cache database:
repo2solv.sh “/var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-11.0-Updates” > “/var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE-11.0-Updates/solv”

Warning: Disabling repository ‘Updates for 11.0′ because of the above error.
Reading installed packages…
Nothing to do.

Aku try guna zypper update command pon mendatangkan masalah yang sama.

So aku terus meminta tolong kepada abg google ku dan terjumpa posting ini

http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/388749-repo-non-oss-failed-cache-repo-139-a.html

Aku pon dengan yakinnya, terus delete folder “/var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-11.0-Updates” menggunakan command rm -rf /var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-11.0-Updates sebagai root dan try update skali lagi. Everything is fine after that.

Salam Semua.

Salam Semua. Lama jugak aku x post blog kat sini.

Hari ini aku nk cerita pasal Blackberry ” USB charging current is not sufficient.” Bos aku baru sahaja beli Blackberry (bukan aku, aku x mampu beli Blackberry tu) dan tiba-tiba dia nk charge Blackberry tu guna USB kat Notebook Dell d630 dia. Setiap kali dia nk charge asyik2 kuar error ” USB charging current is not sufficient. Verify that your handheld is connected to a powered USB charging source and that the proper USB driver is installed.” Yang peliknya kat notebook Dell yang lebih besar ok pulak, x kluar error tu.

Dengan rasa ingin tahu, aku terus google masalah dia. Aku jumpa 2-3 posting di sini yang menerangkan masalah tersebut:-

Cara mudahnya, install software yg datang dalam CD bersama dengan Blackberry tersebut bernama Blackberry Desktop Manager. Software itu mampu mengawal tenaga elektrik yang dikeluarkan oleh USB anda.

Post dari rivviepop ini mampu menerangkan segalanya utk semua OS:-

Yah you need to install Pocket Mac, that should solve it.

The issue is that a BlackBerry relies upon a piece of software (the Windows driver, for instance) to detect when a BB is plugged in and dynamically adjust the USB current on that port from 100mA to 500mA. On Windows this is the Device Manager install portion (which installs the driver), a Mac needs Pocket Mac, and linux now has ‘bcharge’ (there is also a new kernel module ‘berry_charge’ in the upcoming 2.6.21 release.

Sekian terima kasih. Harap ini dapat membantu mengatasi masalah anda.

Jikalau anda seorang sysadmin yg dah penat mata melihat staff2 main YM dan MSN sehingga menjejaskan produktiviti (IT perlukan YM untuk cari bahan dan bertanya soalan kepada rakan2 IT yang lain), maka silalah add beberapa line ini di dalam squid.conf anda.

acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain shttp.msg.yahoo.com

Kemudian restart squid anda. Sebaiknya letakkan di bahagian atas configuration file squid bagi membolehkan rules ini diaktifkan. Saya meletakkan selepas http transparent.

Wants to share this for quite sometime. Go to http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp and download Openfire server for your platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) and use it for your home/life/company. You wont regret it.

Openfire is an Open Source IM server (or Real Time Collaboration - RTC server as the marketing guys calls it) that is free and getting more freer. It seems that Jive Software doesnt think RTC is the next best thing and go on to focus more on their Enterprise Facebook Offering - Clearspace. You can read it here on why they released everything, even their paid enterprise function before to the masses.

For me the software have everything you need starting with a very user friendly interface, LDAP integration, choices of database connection etc. And with the release of the enterprise management function and plugins (Asterik plugin.. yummy..). Openfire use the standard XMPP Jabber protocol (the same one that powers Google Talk) and compatible with a lot of Jabber clients out there (read: pidgin, kopete etc).

With this such long list, there is not reason why you shouldnt try it.

The server seems to be down for quite some time (shortly after the election) and havent been blogging for quite some time…

I just upgraded to Fedora 9 sulphur and well.. it was challenging at first. Now everything seems to be getting stabilized and faster (thanks all Fedora team) and enjoying back time with my sulphur.

One thing I really miss from my time with Fedora 8 is my Mozilla Prism extension capability on Firefox 3 beta. Fedora 9 seems to includes Firefox 3 Beta but the prism extension could not seems to be working with it. It seems that Ubuntu Hardy is also having this same issues. Well.. I thought my world is turning upside down.. until I found Mozilla Prism standalone software.

Its just a simple install. Download the software, unpack and doubleclick the prism icon (for Linux).

Get yours here (under the prism title)

To know what is prism, you can go to my previous post here

Its 6:15 in the morning and I have yet to sleep. This will be my first post in Planet FOSS so I think its appropriate that I do it on the Historic Day of Malaysia constitution. I guess the election excitedness take my sleep away.

Anyway Just like to share this interesting piece of technology from Mozilla Labs, the “Mozilla Prism”. From wikipedia it describes Prism as follows:-

Prism, previously known as WebRunner is a product in development which integrates web applications with the desktop, allowing web applications to be launched from the desktop and configured independently of the default web browser. It is commonly used with Google AJAX Applications, such as Gmail Google Docs etc.

You can get the extension here, but be warned it only runs only Firefox 3 Beta for now.

Below are screenshot for Prism runs from my Fedora Desktop (click for full size):-

From the screenshot, you can see that the browser runs independently from Firefox thus the Google Reader application have look and feel of a desktop app to it. To enable your most used website to have this feature, just go to “tools” and “convert website to application”. Then there is a GUI menu to tick and voila its your desktop, complete with app icon.

The advantage is that it will enable the app to have independent resource attached to it personally. System admins and developer can also customize their application to run on independent Prism tab on the other hand. I found Prism to be useful for my google office application and Plone.

Although Adobe AIR dominates this kind of technology for now and Micro$oft with Silver and MoonLight, its good to an Open Source alternative to it. More info can be found here.

WELCOME TO NEW MALAYSIA.. FOR ALL
