Editing Application Menu Desktop Configuration file Adding Launcher items to the panel with 'Show Label Instead of Icon' option XFCE 4.8.3 looks just like our lovely Gnome 2 Desktop :) Gnome 3 has released their latest version (3.2 when I wrote this post), but they still not get good acceptance yet. So many people still love the old and simple Gnome 2 desktop interface and experience. As reaction, many user decided to switch to another DE that looks similar to Gnome 2 like XFCE and LXDE (like Linus Torvalds has switched to XFCE). Another reaction is more radical came from user who love Gnome 2 so much and has made a fork of Gnome 2 that later called as MATE. I, as an Gnome 2 lover, of course have been impressed by MATE, and after I tried it in my Ubuntu 11.10 system, I realized that MATE still too premature and brings some fundamental bugs. So, as an alternative I run XFCE 4.8 by installing Xubuntu 11.10 and I just can say : It is amazing !! All stuffs in the XFCE 4.8 just al...

SiS VGA Driver for Linux, taken from CDLinux 2008 The Driver works perfectly to play any videos The Driver works good and recognizes the monitor maximum resoulution Linux now has revolutionary grown into a modern operating system. Now, Linux has been used widely from web server, supercomputer into personal desktop, laptop, and even now, Linux has been very popular to be used in many tablet and smartphone devices. These radical changes indicates that Linux has grown into an ultimate operating system that has ultimate capability to handle any recent and most recent computer hardwares. This is of course a big deal for us to be celebrated. But in one another rare case, I've found an ironic thing : Linux has left few old hardwares into more less usable hardwares. In my case, my old onboard SiS 661FX VGA controller, since the release of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, “hasn't ironically been maintained” to works as well as in the previous Linux releases. Since then, my SiS vga controller ...

Linux Mint 12rc, with MATE 2011.11.03 (click to enlarge) Since its release, with gnome-shell as default session, Gnome3 has uttered so many controversies. Many people said that gnome-shell is too complicated, less functional, and as my personal opinion, I can say that Gnome3 is "just changing" but with less attention in usability and simplicity. As a reaction of all the less satisfying Gnome3 release, there is an Arch Linux user, has decided to make a fork of the old Gnome2 Desktop into the new independent brand Desktop Environment, with hope, that will be usable to the too many Linux users who still love Gnome2 desktop interface. He alone has forked the latest Gnome2 packages (2.32.x) and renamed them as MATE Desktop Environment . Of course, I've been surprised and so fond of, but, as an Ubuntu user, I just can follow the newsletters from the internet forums. And finally, just like dream, Linux Mint developer has decided to take part to maintain MATE and import them as ...
