Kembali Pada amaroK : Karena error pada gMusicbrowser


gMusicBrowser bawaan Zenwalk 5.2 yang buggy

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya mencoba menginstalasi Zenwalk 5.2 GNOME. Secara keseluruhan, desktop linux berbasis Slackware ini sangat oke. Di usung dengan GNOME 2.22, dekstop ini terasa sangat cepat di komputer saya.


Aplikasi-aplikasi yang disertakan pun lumayan, walau saya harus menambah sendiri OpenOffice.org 3.0. Dari beberapa aplikasi yang by default disertakan ada satu yang cukup menarik perhatian saya, yaitu gMusicbrowser. Sekilas mirip sekali dengan aplikasi music manager amaroK, namun setelah saya coba beberapa kali, ternyata aplikasi tersebut (yang disertakan dalam Zenwalk 5.2), masih cukup buggy. Selalu saja ada error yang sama setiap kali saya menjalankan musik dengan gMusicbrowser yaitu setelah menjalankan lagu beberapa track, aplikasi ini akan berhenti memutar lagu selanjutnya. Saya coba klik-klik lagu-lagu yang ada, namun tetap saja hasilnya sama. What`s happened? Itulah, karena saya belum menjadi seorang programmer atau software analyzer, maka saya hanya bisa ber-bingung-ria. Hyuff!!


Karena bingung dan tidak tahu masalahnya, akhirnya saya lebih memilih menggunakan (kembali) pemutar musik kebanggaan KDE : amaroK. Setelah menimbang dan membandingkan, dari berbagai macam aplikasi music-organizer, memang amaroK masih menjadi yang terbaik, mengalahkan aplikasi sejenis yang ditulis dengan berbasis GTK : Evince, Banshee, Rhythmbox, gMusicbrowser, BMPx.


Dalam hal ini, semakin menguatkan keyakinan saya, bahwa software yang memang didesain untuk desktop linux yang ultimate memang KDE, terbukti dengan banyaknya aplikasi KDE yang memang terasa berfungsi secara ultimate, alias “hampir-tanpa-cela”. Tengoklah semisal amaroK, K3B, Kchmviewer, Kdeedu, SMPlayer dan lain sebagainya. Semua berfungsi dengan hampir-sempurna, dan dengan interface yang cantik.


Selamat ber-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. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w...

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 ;)
