How To Install Persepolis Download Manager on OpenMandriva

Persepolis is a powerful download manager for Linux. It isn't just a GUI frontend for aria2. Based on my experience, Persepolis performs faster than aria2. Also, of course, it is a lot more easier to use than a command line download manager.

Major Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu & Fedora, have already included Persepolis in their official repository so you can install it easily.

Unfortunately, other Linux distro, haven't included persepolis yet in their repository, OpenMandriva for example. Luckily, you are still able to install persepolis on your OpenMandriva directly using git. And it is pretty easy as well.

The Steps

It is quite simple to install Persepolis on OpenMandriva:

Firstly, install the dependency:

sudo dnf install aria2 ffmpeg youtube-dl git

Then, clone from git and execute the installer:

git clone "https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis.git"

sudo python3 setup.py install

Preference Setup

You might find the default Persepolis appearance looks weird. You have to set the icon theme to make it looks better. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Icons, change to Breeze or Papirus Light. Now, you have the powerful Persepolis Download Manager on OpenMandriva.

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 : ...

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...

Download, Install and Play Angry Birds Rio In Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Angry Birds Rio is a spin-off of the new-legendary game Angry Birds. This plot is specially taken from popular animation film Rio, an adventure of a pet Blue macaw bird from US in Brazilian jungle. Based on that successful film, there are some game developers created a spin-off for Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Rio. The good news about this is, there is already a flash version of this game so we could play it in Linux desktop easily using flashplayer (standalone player, or by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin). And just like what I've done before in Angry Animals game, I've packed this game too into Debian package so we could install it with ease. If you have had installed flashplayer standalone, you don't have to download and install it. But, if you haven't it yet, you have to download the flashplayer standalone to play this game. These are the packages : adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb angrybirds-rio_0.1_i386_debian.deb This is a fre...
