K3B dan Satu Bug


Di dunia Open Source, aplikasi CD/DVD burning sudah cukup banyak pilihannya. Yang paling terkenal ada K3B, Brasero dan Xroast. Ada juga aplikasi proprietary NeroLinux yang dibuat untuk sistem open source Linux. Walaupun sehari-hari saya bekerja dengan desktop Gnome, saya sangat menyukai aplikasi-aplikasi KDE, termasuk untuk urusan CD/DVD Burning, pilihan saya tetap kepada K3B.


Keunggulan K3B sangat lah banyak, selain pastinya gratis, K3B juga sudah mendukung multi session dengan sempurna. Yang paling menarik, ternyata pencinpta K3B memiliki selera humor yang tinggi. Setiap kita sukses melakukan proses burning, selalu ada suara sorak sorai “teleleteteeet tetet teet”, yang diikuti gambar Penguin tersenyum. Sebaliknya kalau proses burning gagal atau tidak sempurna, ada suara “teeeeeeet” diikuti gambar Penguin cemberut. Itu adalah humor yang sangat menyegarkan yang disisipkan di aplikasi hebat K3B. Sayang sekali, untuk K3B versi 1.xx, gambar Penguin tersenyum-cemberut dihilangkan, saya cukup kecewa :-)


Setelah sekian lama bekerja dengan K3B, dan bisa dibilang hampir 96 % proses burning saya sukses. Saya hanya menemukan satu bug yang sama untuk semua versi k3b. Bukan bug yang terlalu mengganggu, tapi cukup mengesalkan jika kita belum terbiasa. Bug itu adalah, k3b selalu gagal melakukan proses kloning CD/DVD. Jadi? Yap! Saat proses pembuatan file iso memang berhasil, tetapi saat saya masukan disk blank, entah kenapa proses selalu gagal. Karena saya selalu mengalami masalah yang sama, akhirnya kalau saya akan melakukan kloning CD/DVD, saya akan melakukannya dalam dua tahap secara manual. Tahap pertama adalah dengan memilih opsi Copy CD, lalu saya pilih “Only Create Image”. Tidak lupa saya ubah direktori image iso ke direktori /home yang mudah dijangkau. Setelah proses pembuatan iso berhasil, baru saya masukan disk kosong dan saya gunakan opsi “Burn CD Image”. Walaupun terkesan agak repot, tapi proses tersebut 100 % berhasil.


Kalau boleh dibandingkan, saya lebih menyukai K3B dibandingkan dengan Nero Windows. Kenapa? Saya sangat sering mengalamai kegagalan proses burning di windows dengan Nero. Satu kekurangan Nero yang paling menyebalkan adalah Nero tidak bisa digunakan oleh user non-administrator, semisal user Guest. Kalau kita menggunakan Nero di windows dengan user Guest, memang nampaknya proses berhasil, tetapi saat kita buka CD hasil burn, ternyata disk masih kosong. Entah! Akhirnya saya lebih menyukai K3B, dan desktop Linux!

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 : ...

BAM Huawei Mobile Partner For Linux. Download and Install.

Click to enlarge Profile management Broadband connection is one of the most used internet connections, alongside wired and wi-fi internet connection. 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.
