HelpExplorer : HLP Viewer For Linux

Di desktop Linux, kita bisa menemukan banyak aplikasi untuk membaca e-book yang berformat PDF, CHM dan DJVU, tetapi masih sedikit yang aplikasi Linux yang secara native mampu membaca e-book berformat HLP. Padahal, HLP adalah salahsatu format e-book yang dijadikan format standar untuk dokumentasi program di windows, selain format CHM. Lalu, adakah program yang khusus ditujukan untuk membaca e-book HLP di desktop Linux?

Tentu saja ada! Ada sebuah aplikasi non-free bernama HelpExplorer Linux. Aplikasi ini dikembangkan oleh KAMA Software dan sudah lama tidak di update, tetapi masih tetap fungsional dan bisa kita gunakan di distribusi Linux terbaru manapun.

Saya sudah sangat lama mendapatkan aplikasi ini, dan saya mendapatkan paket installer tarbal. Lalu, saya berpikir untuk memaket-ulang aplikasi ini ke dalam paket DEB yang bisa kita instalasi ke distribusi Debian-based manapun. Paket DEB dari HelpExplorer tersebut saya simpan di akun ziddu saya, DISINI, yang bisa anda download dan anda instalasi di desktop Linux anda. Saya juga telah mengkonversi paket tersebut ke dalam RPM yang bisa anda download DISINI, tetapi saya tidak bisa memastikan apakah bisa berjalan lancar, karena saya pengguna desktop Ubuntu :)

Untuk paket TGZ, saya belum bisa membuatnya karena mengkonversi paket ke format TGZ menggunakan Alien hasilnya tidak sempurna dan tidak bisa berjalan dengan baik di distribusi Slackware-based (sudah pernah saya coba). Jadi, untuk format TGZ, barangkali ada Slacker yang berbaik-hati memaket-ulang paket tersebut secara manual? :)

Salam Linux! Semoga bisa berguna!

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 : ...

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.
