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!

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 : ...

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...

Download, Install and Play Angry Birds Rio In Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Angry Birds Rio is a spin-off of the new-legendary game Angry Birds. This plot is specially taken from popular animation film Rio, an adventure of a pet Blue macaw bird from US in Brazilian jungle. Based on that successful film, there are some game developers created a spin-off for Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Rio. The good news about this is, there is already a flash version of this game so we could play it in Linux desktop easily using flashplayer (standalone player, or by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin). And just like what I've done before in Angry Animals game, I've packed this game too into Debian package so we could install it with ease. If you have had installed flashplayer standalone, you don't have to download and install it. But, if you haven't it yet, you have to download the flashplayer standalone to play this game. These are the packages : adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb angrybirds-rio_0.1_i386_debian.deb This is a fre...
