The Damned Beep!

Until now, I enjoying Linux Mint 5, another 'multimedia-ready' version of Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS. The simple reason I used it of course because Linux Mint 5 was fully-rock ready to play any multimedia formats, and also, Linux Mint 5 was completely compatible to Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS packages. We can easily install any additional softwares from Ubuntu Hardy LTS repository using apt-get. For the last thing, I always enjoy using Ubuntu Hardy as my default Linux desktop because Ubuntu Hardy was released as a Long Term Support version of Ubuntu. It means that we will get long term support for our Linux desktop for three years. From the previous cases of Ubuntu 6.06, LTS version of Ubuntu also promises third party softwares compatibility releasing. Of course I can download and switch my Linux desktop to Linux Mint 6 (Ubuntu Intrepid), but I still and will always enjoy using Ubuntu Hardy because of the LTS.


For the whole system, Linux Mint 5 is perfect. One big damned thing that I really-really hate on Linux Mint is on the “tuuuut” sound when we made a mistake such as un-finished close window, and backing space typing in terminal. The sound “tuuut” is so damned-hard and really makes me so damned-angry. Especially I always work in the evening to midnight, and of course this damned-beep-sound was really disturb anyone who had gone nice slept.


To turn this beep off, we just need to go to gnome main menu “System>Preferences>Sound”. In the “Sound” dialog box, look at “System Beep” section and uncheck the “Enable system beep” button. Now, we will not get the damned-beep sound again, and we can fully-complete enjoying Linux desktop.


Happy Linuxing!

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

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2.
