OpenOffice.org 3.2 dan OpenOffice.org 2.4 Dalam Satu Desktop Linux




Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya membahas topik instalasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 di Desktop Linux lama Ubuntu 8.04. Dalam proses tersebut, kita memerlukan proses uninstalasi terlebih dahulu OpenOffice.org 2.4 yang telah ada di sistem Ubuntu 804 agar OpenOffice.org 3.2 dapat di instalasi di sistem Ubuntu 8.04.

Namun, ternyata dua versi aplikasi OpenOffice.org dapat di instalasi secara bersamaan sebagai 'tandem' agar dapat bekerja bersama dalam satu desktop Linux tanpa harus membuang versi yang lebih lama terlebih dahulu. Kenapa harus repot? Salahsatu sebabnya, OpenOffice.org versi built-in instalasi distribusi, memiliki fitur OpenOffice.org Quickstarter yang sangat membantu mendongkrak kinerja OpenOffice.org pada saat dibuka pertama kali saat sistem di hidupkan, sedang keunggulan OpenOffice.org versi terbaru tentu lebih lengkap dari sisi fitur, dan kompatibilitas antar-dokumen dengan office suite populer lain lebih baik.

Langkah untuk menginstasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 di desktop yang telah ada OpenOffice.org versi yang lebih lama adalah:
  1. Download full package yang sesuai dengan distribusi yang kita gunakan dari web openoffice.org.
  2. Ekstraksi full package tersebut, dan instalasi semua paketnya kecuali paket Desktop Integration secara masive melalui terminal, dalam contoh ini paket DEB, maka proses instalasinya adalah sebagai berikut dengan mengunakan privillage root (dengan asumsi posisi shell telah ada di folder berisi paket DEB OpenOffice.org): # dpkg -i *.deb
  3. Paket OpenOffice.org 3.2 telah berhasil di instalasi, tetapi tidak akan muncul di menu desktop karena paket Desktop Integration tidak di instalasi. Paket Desktop Integration adalah paket yang berisi shortcut aplikasi OpenOffice.org 3.2 yang tidak bisa di instalasi bersama paket OpenOffice.org versi yang lebih lama karena akan terjadi konflik.
  4. Untuk memunculkan shortcut OpenOffice.org 3.2 di menu (KDE, Gnome, XFCE dlsb), kita harus menambahkannya secara manual melalui menu editor. Dalam contoh ini memakai menu editor Gnome di Ubuntu yaitu alacarte.
  5. Klik kanan pada menu Gnome dan pilih edit menu. Lalu masuk ke tab kategori program Office, lalu pilih New Menu (sub direktori baru dari kategori menu Office) dan beri nama OpenOffice.org 3.2. Pilih icon yang sesuai (bisa kita cari dari tema icon yang ada di sistem yang kita sukai, yaitu di /usr/share/icons.
  6. Masuk ke sub kategori yang telah kita buat, lalu buat shortcut satu persatu aplikasi yang ada dalam paket OpenOffice.org 3.2 dengan memilih New Item. Pada proses New Item, pada bagian command, pilih browse dan cari executable aplikasi di direktori /opt/OpenOffice.org3/programs/sbase untuk OpenOffice.org 3.2 Base, dan /opt/OpenOffice.org3/programs/scalc untuk OpenOffice.org 3.2 Calc dan seterusnya. Setelah semua selesai, klik close, dan lihat di menu Gnome. Sekarang kita memiliki dua versi OpenOffice.org dalam satu desktop Linux !
  7. Selamat mencoba!

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...
