Roxterm : Menjalankan Shell Dengan Ringan dan Nyaman


Bekerja dengan command-line atau perintah teks di lingkungan Linux dan Unix (termasuk Mac OS) adalah sebuah keniscayaan. Walaupun front-end grafis sudah tersedia untuk ribuan aplikasi di dunia Unix, tetapi manajemen sistem berbasis perintah teks masih menjadi alat yang sangat tangguh dan efektif. Berhubung sistem operasi berbasis Unix untuk kebutuhan desktop di dunia saat ini sudah berbasis modus grafis (yang bahkan sangat menawan), maka di butuhkan aplikasi terminal emulator untuk melakukan perintah teks. Di dunia Linux sendiri, aplikasi terminal emulator cukup banyak pilihannya. Yang paling terkenal dan yang paling sering saya gunakan tentu saja adalah Konsole Gnome-Terminal, dan Xterm. Kalau Konsole sebagai terminal emulator default untuk desktop KDE dan Gnome-Terminal untuk Gnome, maka Xterm adalah terminal emulator cross-platform yang merupakan utilitas-dasar-standar yang ada dalam sistem Linux. Untuk melakukan pekerjaan sederhana dan cepat, saya jelas memilih xterm, dengan fiturnya yang terbatas. Tidak ada fitur tab dalam xterm, sehingga kalau kita akan menterminasi (men-kill) aplikasi, kita harus membuka xterm baru di menu atau run, dan itu cukup melelahkan (^_^).


Selain Xterm, ternyata ada aplikasi terminal emulator cross-platform yang bernama Roxterm. Aplikasi ini sangat ringan seperti xterm, tapi memliki fitur yang cukup canggih. Selain fitur tab yang sangat berguna untuk melakukan pekerjaan multi-tasking, ada juga fitur “Name Tab”. Name tab ini berfungsi untuk menamai tab pekerjaan kita, dan akan sangat berguna saat kita melakukan multi-tasking yang cukup banyak. Sistem Linux memang sistem yang sangat unik dan menarik, selain interface grafis 3D yang sangat menawan, kita masih bisa belajar programming sederhana dengan melakukan manajemen sistem via modus teks.


Yang perlu jadi catatan, aplikasi ini sudah terdapat dalam repositori distrbusi mayor Linux, jadi sangat mudah untuk menginstalasinya. Nampaknya, aplikasi ini akan jadi terminal-emulator favorit saya, menggantikan Konsole yang memang lebih saya sukai daripada Gnome-Terminal.

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.
