Download Them!

Downloading (anything) from internet is one of our daily tasks in these modern life. Theres some techniques for downloading. We can use our internet browser`s downloader (e.g Firefox and Opera), or we can use another third party tools for download. We known that as the download manager, and the main function of download manager is to speed up the download process and manage it. In Windows platform, we known some download manager softwares like Internet Download Manager (IDM) and Download Accelerator Plus (DAP).


How about download manager in Linux? Dont worry, Linux also had some powerful download managers. One of them is called wget. Its a shell-based downloader. Although wget was a shell-based downloder, wget came with many wonderful usefulness. One of it is recursive download. Using recursive download, we can completely download one or more directories that contain packages we need.


How about graphical downloader? One of graphical downloader on Linux is called D4X. D4X is a great graphical download manager on Linux with very similar interface as IDM or DAP. For download, we just enter our download address on the add address toolbox. For saving, we just enter our local directory e.g /home or /home/download. We also can save our download packages on /root directories if we start D4X with root access.

In Gnome desktop, use run (alt+F2) and type :

gksu d4x

or

In terminal, login as root or using sudo :

# d4x

$ sudo d4x

Finally, I just want suggest anyone in whole world to try it and use Linux !

Happy Tux-ing ! ^_^

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. And greatly, this has already been recognized by Linux from so long time ago and so I can use the modem easily with GNOME's Network Manager. But later I found a problem : how to top up my prepaid internet account? To top up my prepaid internet account, I have to send a SMS to the provider and I can't do this on Linux.
