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!

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”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin.

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. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
