Setting Koneksi Dial Up Menggunakan Handphone Dengan Koneksi Bluetooth di Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal

Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal hadir dengan membawa cukup banyak peningkatan fitur, tampilan yang lebih elegan dan fresh, serta software-software baru yang bagus. Untuk software, Ubuntu Natty menghadirkan LibreOffice 3.3 (sebuah fork baru dari OpenOffice.org yang nampaknya akan jadi standar office di beberapa distribusi mayor), Mozilla Firefox 4.01 (versi yang sangat ditunggu-tunggu) dan integrasi Banshee dalam volume control Gnome, sekaligus menggantikan Rhythmbox sebagai default music player (saya sangat suka dengan fitur baru ini, sangat elegan).

Namun, dari semua itu, peningkatan fitur baru yang sangat saya sukai adalah : Ubuntu Natty sudah bisa membuat koneksi dial up menggunakan handphone dengan memakai koneksi bluetooth ! Ini sangat-sangat bagus dikarenakan saat ini harga handphone sudah semakin murah (handphone 3g sudah dibawah satu juta). Baiklah, mari kita bahas fitur baru yang maknyus ini.

Pertama, buatlah pairing antara komputer dengan handphone. Caranya, colokkan bluetooth dongle kita, lalu klik pada icon bluetooh di bagian atas dan pilih Add New Device. Ikuti saja wizard-nya, dan pada satu bagian, centanglah opsi bisa melakukan koneksi dial up memakai koneksi bluetooth – handphone. Lalu akan muncul wizard yang sangat mudah untuk diikuti. Pertama, pilih negara, dan lalu pilih operator. Ubuntu sudah mempunyai list semua operator GSM di Indonesia, mulai dari 3, Indosat hingga AXIS. Pilih saja operator yang kita gunakan (saya memakai operator 3).

setelah wizard selesai, pada applet Network Manager, pilihlah nama handphone kita, dan tunggu. Nanti akan dikenali pilihan nama operator, misal: 3 GPRS. Pilihlah nama operator kita yang muncul dalam Network Manager, dan jadilah Connection Established! Sangat simpel dan asyik betul :)

Berikut ini adalah catatan teknis periperial yang saya pakai:

Handphone : Nokia 2330-c (koneksi internet GPRS/EDGE)

Operator : 3 (Three)

Bluetooth : K-one Bluetooth USB dongle

Komputer : Intel Pentium IV 2,4 GHz, Memori 512 MB

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...

QMMP Skins Pack for Ubuntu/Debian

QMMP is a great Winamp Like music player. For me, this is the greatest current living Winamp Like Music Player in Linux (Audacious seems to be more “gtk” interfaced music player than classic winamp). This is based on QT but works smooth and fast enough in gtk based desktops (lxde, xfce, gnome). For you that don't know yet what is QMMP, this is a popular app and installable easily by apt in Ubuntu and or Debian (squeeze, wheezy, sid) : sudo apt-get install qmmp Because of this, I decided to pack some cool Winamp classic skins to be a Debian package to fullfil the lack of additional skins in default QMMP installation. These are the skins : AmpBurger Bang & Olufsen DaizedAmp iTunesLeopard Kenwood-KDC-2019 Rapture s1-1.5d Winamp5-XMMS Winamp Classic And this is the file qmmp-skins-pack-0.1-all.deb you can download and install it to eyecandy your QMMP Player. Happy Linuxing !
