Build of cdfs-src failed in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and The Alternative Solution

VCD ripping, using k3b

Error Message in cdfs building in Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot

Unlike Windows, Linux, because of its kernel design, couldn't read an copy VCDs as normal files in a data CD. But, of course, there are some way to “copy” VCD in Linux to our harddisk drive. The most used tools to read and copy VCD in Linux are vcdxrip (part of vcdimager) and cdfs. If vcdimager is a ripper tool, cdfs is a module to be patched in kernel so we could mount VCDs just like as a normal data CD, and we could copy paste them into our harddisk.

I prefer use cdfs to vcdimager, and for enough long time I used cdfs to copy and collect my old VCDs into harddisk, but in Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot, I've found an annoying bug. I couldn't build cdfs package from cdfs-src package. When I tried build cdfs from cdfs-src package, module-assistant gave me this error message : Build of cdfs-src failed! How do you wish to proceed?

A post in Launchpad told that current cdfs-src version is not compatible yet with Linux Kernel version 3.x.x (Owwwwhh!). This is bad news of course, because the bug seems like unsolved until someone hack or build new version of cdfs-src to be compatible with Linux Kernel 3.x, or until someone patch Linux Kernel 3.x.x to be able to work with cdfs. As an common end-user, I just could pray and hope that the solution will be presented soon :D

But, of course, as a loyal Linux user, I didn't give up to find a way to cover this problem while I wait for upstream solved for cdfs-src bug with Kernel 3.x.x. Happily, finally I found a simple solution to copy VCD in Ubuntu Oneiric and the solution is k3b+vcdimager. K3b, as a sophisticated and high quality disc burner, presented many sophisticated features such as vcd and dvd ripping, and vcd and dvd making. And magically, by using vcdimager, I've successfully ripped VCD into harddisk without any notable error (really!). The only one note is, if the ripping process couldn't completely rip our VCD, just repeat the process until all the tracks in the VCD successfully ripped into harrdisk :)

Technical Note :

System : Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot with default Kernel 3.0.0-12-generic

cdfs-src : 2.6.23-4

module-assistant : 0.11.4

k3b : 2.0.2

vcdimager : 0.7.23-4ubuntu2

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 : ...

BAM Huawei Mobile Partner For Linux. Download and Install.

Click to enlarge Profile management Broadband connection is one of the most used internet connections, alongside wired and wi-fi internet connection. 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.
