Kernel is the heart of an operating system. It communicates directly to the hardware to deliver what you call an operating system. Linux itself is the name of a kernel that is now widely used in a lot of system, including your Android phone. Furthermore, a "Linux operating system" is technically a complex system with a Linux kernel and other components --most of them are component from GNU project. Thus, the appropriate name for a "Linux OS" should be GNU/Linux. Ubuntu --and its derivatives-- is one of the most popular Linux distribution that comes with the most fundamental philosophy of an operating system: ease . Ubuntu works properly with a lot of countless hardware, out of the box. Also, it has a huge software repository to fulfill your need. Another great feature comes with Ubuntu is regular Linux kernel update, so your system will always be more secure and updated. Unfortunately, some hardware, mostly WiFi card, has inconsistent behavior with newer Linux kerne...

I need to work with Hipchat and didn't have any problem running hipchat client on my Linux machines, since I move to Hipchat4 and installed it on my Debian 9 Stretch with Kernel 4.9. The Hipchat4 Linux Client is unable to connect to the internet and an error message appears " Make sure you have an internet connection and try again.. ". The internet is ok and everything is ok, so this is without doubt a bug in the Hipchat4 Linux client with newer Linux system. I didn't find this problem with my older Linux machine like Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04 and older releases. After wandering around the internet, I've finally found a solution and quite simple. Here are the steps : 1. Create a symbolic link to a library to the Hipchat4 library. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.2 /opt/HipChat4/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.2 sudo ln -s /opt/HipChat4/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.2 /opt/HipChat4/lib/libcrypto.so 2.

If you are a Linux user, it's not as easy as Android, if you want to put music collection into a Windows Phone. In Android, you could easily grab, copy and paste your mp3 files into your devices. In Windows phone, that doesn't work.  Windows phone is designed for Microsoft Windows OS. If you want to put music files into your devices, you have to sync your mp3 files in your computer using Windows Media Player.  So, how to sync music files into Windows Phone from Linux OS? Apparently, there is a way, and quite simple. Here are the steps : 1. You must edit your mp3 metadata (id3) using music metadata editor. I recommend Easytag. Complete the metadata, especially the artist, music tittle, and music album. 2. Create a folder structure Artist/Album. Example : Mariah Carey/Greatest Hits. 3. Put your mp3 files into the Album folder. 4. Plug in your Windows Phone. 5. Copy and paste the Folder we've been created in step 2 into the Windows Phone's Musi...

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)

HipChat is an emerging chat application platform. Currently, there is a native, official Linux client that could be downloaded from HipChat website . But as I've been tried it, the application is little bit heavy especially when you are using an old, low-end PC (example : an old dual core Pentium, with less than 2 GB ram). But hey , don't be sad. Apparently, HipChat uses XMPP protocol so we could connect HipChat in any Messenger Client that supports XMPP such as Pidgin (or Kopete). Here are the steps : 1. Get your HipChat username. Go to your HipChat's XMPP Account Page (you need to login). 2. Go to Pidgin > Manage Accoun > Add : Protocol : XMPP Username : Your HipChat username Domain : chat.hipchat.com Resource : leave empty Password : You HipChat password 2. Tadaaa, now you could use HipChat in Pidgin.

SSH Tunneling is a tricky way to connect to internet network. Theoretically, SSH Tunneling is a mechanism to connect to internet network by "riding" other connection's band. In Windows, there are plenty applications and or tools to use SSH tunneling. How about Linux desktop? SSH itself is a tool from Linux world. Thus, SSH Tunneling of course easily can be done in ANY Linux distribution, without ANY third party applications. All you need is ssh command and a tiny tool called proxychains . Purpose SSH tunneling commonly used to bypass regular connection to others' private connection, in order, for example, we could access blocked websites (youtube, porn site, etc). Another common purpose of SSH tunneling is to pursue better internet connection speed. Steps 1. Open terminal and run following command : ssh -D 12345 user@yourserver.com/your server's IP -p server_port Example : ssh -D 12345 andy@192.168.11.99 -p 22 Once you're logged in into...

Baru-baru ini saya mendapat pinjaman inventaris dari tempat saya bekerja berupa sebuah laptop HP Sleekbook 14 dengan UEFI BIOS dan terinstal OS Microsoft Windows 8. Sebagai pengguna Linux, tentu saja saya sangat kerepotan memakai sistem operasi Windows 8 yang memang dari sisi interface sungguh sangat merepotkan (bagi saya). Akhirnya saya pun langsung menginstal Ubuntu Linux 14.04 dengan cara seperti biasa, dan demikianlah sampai proses selesai, namun begitu mesin saya restart, langsung boot menuju Windows 8 dan Ubuntu 14.04 yang baru saja saya pasang tidak terdeteksi. Saya pun gagap. Baru kali ini saya menghadapi mesin dengan UEFI BIOS, dan dengan OS Windows 8 yang memang by default  memakai bootloader berbasis EFI. What do I do ? Karena kesal, akhirnya saya lakukan instal ulang berkali-kali dan gagal, sampai akhirnya berhasil. Berikut langkah-langkah yang berhasil saya terapkan untuk mengawinkan Windows 8 dengan Linux Ubuntu di komputer dengan UEFI BIOS : 1. Pakai Ubu...

As default, Ubuntu GNU / Linux doesn't support broadcomm WLAN (WiFi) adapter. And so, if you have laptop / netbook with broadcomm adapter, you won't be able to connect to the internet throughout WiFi / hotspot connection. But luckily, Ubuntu makes it very easy to install broadcomm WLAN adapter. There are two easy options to install it : 1. By APT Plug your laptop in to a wired (cable) internet connection and install the driver by following command : sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source 2. By Ubuntu Live CD / USB In your Ubuntu Live CD / Live USB, find a folder named pool. Find these files :  - pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source.xxx.deb - pool/main/d/dkms/dkms_xxx.deb - pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_xxx.deb - pool/main/f/fakeroot/libfakeroot_xxx.deb Copy those files into your home, open terminal, and install them by following command : sudo dpkg -i *.deb And now, you will have your broadcomm WLAN / WiFi works.

Kadangkala, ada monitor yang tidak dikenali dengan baik di Linux, padahal VGA card yang dipakai sangat baik. Akibat utama dari tidak dikenalinya monitor dengan sempurna adalah resolusi maksimal monitor tidak tertampil, dan hanya mampu dikenali dengan resolusi maksimal 1024x768 pixels. Hal tersebut tentu sangat mengganggu karena resolusi yang lebar sangat membantu efektivitas kerja terutama untuk desain (grafis, website dlsb). Apa penyebab dari tidak dikenalinya monitor saya sendiri kurang begitu mengetahui, sebab untuk kasus yang saya alami, dengan VGA card yang sama (Intel G41), kondisinya berbeda ketika saya memakai LCD monitor merk LG yang dikenali dengan sempurna di Linux Ubuntu, namun tidak dengan LCD Monitor BenQ T52WA. Setelah mencari ke pelbagai penjuru laman internet, akhirnya saya menemukan langkah untuk "menaklukan" atau memaksa sebuah monitor supaya dikenali secara maksimal di Linux dalam hal screen resolution. Berikut langkah-langkahnya : Persiapan Aw...

WPS Office 9a10 / 2013 Running on Ubuntu 13.04 Since first release, OpenOffice.org (now rebranded as LibreOffice) has been the only one, professional, complex Office Suite application in Linux. It has the whole things we need in professional office task. Even, it well supports Microsoft Office's .doc and .docx. In a simple statement : OpenOffice.org / LibreOffice is uncomparable to other Office Suite applications in Linux (Abiword, Goffice, Caligra  Office etc). But now it seems the LibreOffice domination in Linux will be challenged by a new, complete and very good looking Office Suite called WPS Office . It's a free, Linux version of Kingsoft Office . And so, what is the greatest thing in this Office Suite ? As long I've tried it, I could say this is a full featured, but the best part of this app is in its UI. It is very identical to Microsoft Office 2010/2013 UI and or even it is a clone app just like XMMS to Classic Winamp. So, if we are going to be bo...

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. With forced, I temporarily used Mobile Partner application on Windows to buy / top up my prepaid internet account. ...

Linux desktop now has became a modern operating system. With its newer kernels, this cute desktop operating system has supported more wide types of hardwares. Also, Linux kernel now, is more superior than Windows in multi processing with multiple processors. In end-user computing, there are some basic hardwares that users need to fulfill their needs in their everyday works : 3D VGA (Nvidia, ATI, Intel), Wi-Fi, Printers, and Modems (USB, ADSL etc). But now, the trending stuff in end-user computing, alongside Wi-Fi to catch free WLAN Internet connection services, is USB Broadband GSM/HSDPA/CDMA/EVDO Modem. There are many brands of USB modem and only small numbers of brands that until now aren't recognized yet by Linux. Yesterday, I've already purchased an CDMA/EVDO modem with Huawei brand. This is a leading company in USB modem market and this company has been recognized as a great developer in USB modem market. So, their products has been well recognized in any mod...

There is a very popular multimedia format called Shockwave (with swf file format). This is an awesome format that we could use it to make a lightweight video tutorial or, commonly used to build a lightweight but rich and interactive game called flashgame. To play swf, we need an software called flashplayer. And there are two version of flashplayer : (1) Flashplayer browser plugin that works with Internet Browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome and IE; (2) Flashplayer Standalone. This is a standalone software (with window and menus) to open swf files. The easier way to play swf is by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin, but that is little less elegant and little more heavy than using Standalone Player. In Linux, there are some Flashplayer Standalone project, includes open source and proprietary project : libflash-swfplayer. This is an obsolete project and its package doesn't exist anymore in Ubuntu repository above Hardy Heron. Gnash. This is popular open source flas...

Conversion process Step 4. Last step, click continue Step 3. Select image collection folder Step 2. Select Filetype as gif / or another Step 1. Add Action Save For some reasons, we need to convert our image collections from one to another format (e.g : from jpeg into png, gif etc). In Linux, we have had convert, a command-line tool, part of the popular tool imagemagick. But, in order to convert multiple images at once, undertaking it using convert is absolutely difficult (I've tried, and followed the manual, but always been failed). But, don't worry! We have a great solution. In Linux, there is already a GUI tool to do very complex actions of image manipulation called PHATCH . Now, here it is the steps : 1. Open phatch, and select “ Add an action ” button. 2. Scroll down, find and select action “ Save ” . 3. In Save action dialog, there are columns about image profile we want to convert. Select “ As ” and select the format we wanted (ex : gif)...

Openshot Video Editor Today, personal broadcasting is on our fingertips. Now, we could easily make any video documentation, music video covering, or even amateur movie making! (and then, uploaded to the Youtube). These eases happened because of the rapid development of multimedia technology. Today, almost in every low-end cellphone presents camera with video recording capability as a basic feature. Everytime, everywhere, we could tape our memories to be digital clips. But, raw recording is of course boring. People need editing and add some cute stuffs like Video title, animation effects, and transition effects between multiple clips. So what we need is a video editing software. In Windows, we knew windows movie maker as a simple but easy-to-use and full-featured video editor. How about Linux ? Nothing to be worried. In Linux, we have so many video editors, but as my personal opinion, I have two winners of the software : Kdenlive and Openshot Video Editor . Both of those editor...
