Eagle on Ubuntu 12.04 (MATE Desktop) A friend asked me about how to install Eagle EDA Software on Ubuntu. It is an app to draw Electronic PCB design but has a trouble to be installed on an Ubuntu system. And apparently, the trouble is there is an unmet dependency libpng14 that doesn't exist in Ubuntu repository so we couldn't install it regularly on an Ubuntu system. So then I looked for the solution and finally I've found the dependency from rpm.pbone.net and Alhamdulillah I've successfully installed it on my Ubuntu 12.04. Because it was a rpm package, I extracted the package and then packed it into deb so we could install it on Ubuntu system easily. Here are all we need to install Eagle on an Ubuntu system : Download Download these two packages : libpng14-14_1.4.3-4.3_i386.deb eagle_6.2.0_i386.deb Installation Just simply install them by sudo dpkg -i *.deb or if you have Gdebi (it's default in Ubuntu 10.04 and below), you could double click them one...

Sometime, when we were downloading something using Firefox, because of electricity and another unknown causes, our computer was suddenly shutted off and our download was also stopped. It is OK if the file size of the download is small, but how does if the file size is big (1 GB maybe) and we have done download 600 MB size ? Oh My God that must be crazy -_- And so what to do ?

Click to enlarge Since 4.0 Mozilla has decided to release the further Firefox browsers more frequently for the sake of improvements. It is indeed a great decision, but there are many enterprise users who need standardized system to simplify their enterprise technical management. Because of this reason, then Mozilla made a new decision to create a new branch of their Firefox browser that named Extended Support Release (ESR). This is similar to Long Term Support of Ubuntu release, but apparently Ubuntu doesn't facilitate this branch so we are Ubuntu users won't get ESR version of Firefox from Ubuntu's official repository. But happily, there is official Debian project maintains the ESR release of their rebranded Firefox Iceweasel web browser. And I've tried the app from their Sid repository on my Ubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine (with some patches). As usual, I am so happy if I can share any good things to the others and so now you all Ubuntu users could tr...

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.
