Meringankan Desktop KDE 4 di Kubuntu Jaunty



Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackapole datang dengan KDE 4.2.2. Dari sekian banyak pernak-pernik keindahan desktop KDE 4 yang menawan, ternyata Kubuntu Jaunty dengan KDE 4.2.2 menyisakan satu kekurangan yang agak menggangu, yaitu agak berat bila dijalankan pada PC tua dan dengan resolusi lebar.


Sebagai contoh teknis, sistem saya adalah :

P IV 2,4 Ghz / Memori 512 MB

Resolusi maksimal 1280x1024 piksel


Dengan sistem tersebut, tiap saya menggerak-gerakan pointer ke segala arah di desktop, akan terasa patah-patah dan agak berat. Saya sempat agak kesal dan ingin membuang Kubuntu dari PC saya, tetapi akhirnya saya mendapat satu trik untuk membuat desktop Kubuntu Jaunty terasa lebih ringan.


Trik tersebut adalah : jalankan compositing manager ! Karena saya memakai PC tua, maka saya menggunakan xcompmgr compositing manager, sebuah aplikasi compositing manager kecil yang ringan. Untuk menginstalasinya sangat mudah ;


$ sudo apt-get install xcompmgr


Agar xcompmgr jalan otomatis waktu booting sistem, masukan program tersebut ke daftar autostart applications. Caranya sangat mudah, jalankan run (Alt+F2), lalu ketik 'autostart' (tanpa petik).


Pada jendela konfigurasi autostart, pilih 'Add Program', dan ketikan 'xcompmgr' pada bagian custom applications, dan Apply.


Sekarang, desktop Kubuntu Jaunty dengan KDE 4 sudah lebih ringan dan nyaman digunakan !


Selamat ber-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. With forced, I temporarily used Mobile Partner application on Windows to buy / top up my prepaid internet account. ...
