Today, video tutorial or video preview is became trend, since internet access has became more cheap and more fast. The format that used is Adobe Flash Video with .flv file format. It is small and so portable to be included in our website. One successful internet website that using this technology is Youtube, a personal video broadcasting owned by today biggest internet king maker Google.


To access Flash Video, we need flashplayer plugin and if we has good internet connection, we could install it in Ubuntu very simply by Ubuntu Software Center. But, many of us have not good connection yet so installing flash plugin by this way is a trouble. Or, we need offline installer so in other times if we need to clean install our Ubuntu system, we don't have to get online again to just install a plugin.


One thing to do is very simple. Go to Adobe Flashplayer Download Page, and install flashplayer plugin package and install it manually to our Ubuntu system. At Adobe page, choose the latest flashplayer plugin, and at "select version to download" dropdown menu, choose the .tar.gz for other Linux (not APT for Ubuntu 10.04+).


Then we will get flashplayer-bla-bla.tar.gz package and the next steps to do are :

  1. Extract it by right click in nautilus/file manager and Extract Here

  2. We will get one file and one folder : libflashplayer.so (the main file) and usr folder (consists Adobe Flash Player Configuration. This folder is just optional).

  3. Move libflashplayer.so to the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by terminal

    sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins -v

  4. Then, move the usr folder into usr directory in our Ubuntu system (this is optional, we don't have to do this if we don't need it) by terminal :

    go to usr directory we have extracted (ex : we put it in home or wherever we like to maybe /home/Downloads)

    cd usr

    then move it into /usr folder in our system

    sudo cp -rf ./* /usr -v

  5. (Re)start Firefox and go to any site that using flash medias and we will get the latest flashplayer plugin work well in our Ubuntu system. Now, since Flashplayer version 11.x, will also get Adobe Flash Player Preferences to do some things about flashplayer configuration.

  6. Just repeat the steps if we have to reinstall our Ubuntu System (maybe for the newer Ubuntu release).


System Specification :

Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot

Flashplayer 11.2.r2

Mozilla Firefox 13 (Aurora build)

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 : ...

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.
