Linux Tanpa Internet? Siapa Takut?




Masalah utama bagi para pengguna pemula Ubuntu adalah : tidak bisa memutar VCD/DVD dan juga koleksi MP3. Ada Rhythmbox untuk manajemen musik, dan juga Totem sebagai default video player. Tapi tetap saja kedua aplikasi tersebut hanya mau memutar format-format open source yang sangat asing dan jarang digunakan.


Solusinya adalah : instal w32codecs sebagai codec multimedia komplit, dan install Mplayer sebagai default video player baru. Kemudian install XMMS sebagai music player yang baru.
Banyak forum-forum ubuntu di internet membahas hal tersebut, namun (setahu saya) semuanya menggunakan solusi online. Artinya, untuk menambah paket-paket tersebut, komputer ubuntu kita harus terhubung ke internet. NAH, DI SINI LAH MASALAH TERBESAR PERKEMBANGAN LINUX DI INDONESIA!


Sebagian besar pengguna komputer di negeri kita, belum terhubung ke internet. Masalahnya simpel, langganan internet (dalam paket apapun) masih tergolong kebutuhan yang mahal, dan masih sangat sedikit yang sudah mempunyai koneksi internet.


Padahal, solusi di forum-forum ubuntu di internet semuanya merujuk pada solusi online, bagaimana ini? JANGAN TAKUT! SEMUA ADA SOLUSINYA!
Baiklah, mari kita cari solusi itu!


Pertama, cari dan download paket w32codecs di internet.dari hasil searching saya, saya menemukan alamat server yang menyediakan w32codecs adalah sebagai berikut :
http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/
Setelah masuk link di atas, ada daftar paket w32codecs dalam berbagai versi dan rilis. Downlodlah rilis yang terbaru (ada nama dengan rilis sesuai tanggal).


Kemudian, download Mplayer dan XMMS di repositori resmi ubuntu, yang beralamat di packages.ubuntu.com. Setelah masuk, carilah paket Mplayer dan XMMS di form search, setelah itu muncul daftar banyak paket yang dibutuhkan, komplit dengan semua dependency-nya. Sangat rumit, tapi tidak perlu bingung! Cari saja paket utama installer-nya, downloadlah paket itu.


Setelah terdownload, taruh semua pkaet download tadi di home, lalu install semua paket di atas, dengan perintah sudo dpkg -i *.deb


W32codecs akan lancar diinstall, tapi Mplayer dan XMMS pasti akan error, karena begitu banyak dependensi yang belum ada. Nah, disini kita harus telaten sedikit. Ambil selembar kertas, catat semua paket dependensi yang belum ada tersebut, lalu kita kembali ke warnet, dan download-lah semuanya satu per satu secara manual dari repositori resmi ubuntu.
Setelah semua terdownload, taruh di home, dan install ulang dengan sudo dpkg -i *.deb


Nah, sekarang ubuntu kita sudah siap memutar bermacam-macam file multimedia.
Untuk jaga-jaga, dan agar sewaktu-waktu diperlukan lagi, kumpulkan paket multimedia yang sudah kita download tadi ke dalam satu direktori, kemudian burn-lah ke CD, sehingga kapan2 kita butuh, tinggal di install.


Jadi, Linux tanpa koneksi internet, SIAPA TAKUT?

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 : ...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
