OpenOffice.org 3.2 dan OpenOffice.org 2.4 Dalam Satu Desktop Linux




Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya membahas topik instalasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 di Desktop Linux lama Ubuntu 8.04. Dalam proses tersebut, kita memerlukan proses uninstalasi terlebih dahulu OpenOffice.org 2.4 yang telah ada di sistem Ubuntu 804 agar OpenOffice.org 3.2 dapat di instalasi di sistem Ubuntu 8.04.

Namun, ternyata dua versi aplikasi OpenOffice.org dapat di instalasi secara bersamaan sebagai 'tandem' agar dapat bekerja bersama dalam satu desktop Linux tanpa harus membuang versi yang lebih lama terlebih dahulu. Kenapa harus repot? Salahsatu sebabnya, OpenOffice.org versi built-in instalasi distribusi, memiliki fitur OpenOffice.org Quickstarter yang sangat membantu mendongkrak kinerja OpenOffice.org pada saat dibuka pertama kali saat sistem di hidupkan, sedang keunggulan OpenOffice.org versi terbaru tentu lebih lengkap dari sisi fitur, dan kompatibilitas antar-dokumen dengan office suite populer lain lebih baik.

Langkah untuk menginstasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 di desktop yang telah ada OpenOffice.org versi yang lebih lama adalah:
  1. Download full package yang sesuai dengan distribusi yang kita gunakan dari web openoffice.org.
  2. Ekstraksi full package tersebut, dan instalasi semua paketnya kecuali paket Desktop Integration secara masive melalui terminal, dalam contoh ini paket DEB, maka proses instalasinya adalah sebagai berikut dengan mengunakan privillage root (dengan asumsi posisi shell telah ada di folder berisi paket DEB OpenOffice.org): # dpkg -i *.deb
  3. Paket OpenOffice.org 3.2 telah berhasil di instalasi, tetapi tidak akan muncul di menu desktop karena paket Desktop Integration tidak di instalasi. Paket Desktop Integration adalah paket yang berisi shortcut aplikasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 yang tidak bisa di instalasi bersama paket OpenOffice.org versi yang lebih lama karena akan terjadi konflik.
  4. Untuk memunculkan shortcut OpenOffice.org 3.2 di menu (KDE, Gnome, XFCE dlsb), kita harus menambahkannya secara manual melalui menu editor. Dalam contoh ini memakai menu editor Gnome di Ubuntu yaitu alacarte.
  5. Klik kanan pada menu Gnome dan pilih edit menu. Lalu masuk ke tab kategori program Office, lalu pilih New Menu (sub direktori baru dari kategori menu Office) dan beri nama OpenOffice.org 3.2. Pilih icon yang sesuai (bisa kita cari dari tema icon yang ada di sistem yang kita sukai, yaitu di /usr/share/icons.
  6. Masuk ke sub kategori yang telah kita buat, lalu buat shortcut satu persatu aplikasi yang ada dalam paket OpenOffice.org 3.2 dengan memilih New Item. Pada proses New Item, pada bagian command, pilih browse dan cari executable aplikasi di direktori /opt/OpenOffice.org3/programs/sbase untuk OpenOffice.org 3.2 Base, dan /opt/OpenOffice.org3/programs/scalc untuk OpenOffice.org 3.2 Calc dan seterusnya. Setelah semua selesai, klik close, dan lihat di menu Gnome. Sekarang kita memiliki dua versi OpenOffice.org dalam satu desktop Linux !
  7. Selamat mencoba!

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners.  But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine  Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc). It is probably the most popular brand from China and I have to say that Huawei is a great product. Because of this I decided to buy a CDMA USB modem from Huawei.
