Talking about linux, it is familiar with us as a difficult operating system but it just our thought. when we step into it, all rumors will begin to fade away. actually, Linux is not so difficult as most people think. The difficulty is generated automatically in our mind when we think the thing is difficult. Frankly, i felt that linux os is so difficult at the first time i use my ubuntu. but when i read many tutorial in the internet i begin to love my ubuntu.

I give you some tips on how to get on with linux family.

a) you should set ur mind that linux is good os.
b) Think that, you must be free from any viruses.
c) The most important is, love to learn program(code,msdos,etc).
d) Think that this is time to move from

The Linux OS will never force you to do programming in order to use it, but they ask you to learn how to use the pre compile code. for example, when you install software you need to use code to run the installer. So thats it, unless you are advanced or expert user.

Last night, i just installed my flash 8 pro and it ready to go for my project. aja-aja fighting.

Ok That’s all for now. next time i ll be back to add something. bye

Wow.. in berita yang baik bagi rakyat malaysia. kerajaan kita berusaha untuk memulihkan situasi ekonomi yang merundum sejak beberapa bulan lalu. Hari ini kerajaan mengumumkan bahawa, akan ada penurunan harga bagi minyak akhir tahun ini.

Hal ini, memang baik, tetapi sebagai pengguna kita juga harus tetap berjimat cermat seperti yang di sarankan oleh kerajaan malaysia. Untuk Keterangan Lanjut sila baca artikel dibawa..

Malaysia Boleh!

JOHOR BAHRU: Rakyat dijangka terus menikmati harga minyak yang lebih murah menjelang akhir tahun ini, sekurang-kurangnya dua kali lagi berdasarkan harga minyak dunia yang semakin rendah dan stabil di bawah AS$100 setong.

Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, Datuk Shahrir Samad, berkata berdasarkan aliran harga minyak dunia pada masa kini, ada kemungkinan harga petrol dan diesel di negara ini, akan diturunkan sekurang-kurangnya dua kali lagi menjelang akhir tahun.

“Kerajaan menggunakan formula harga purata minyak dunia dalam menentukan harga pasaran komoditi itu di sini (Malaysia) dan harga purata pada Oktober adalah antara AS$70 hingga AS$75 setong, manakala pada bulan November ia turun lagi,” katanya di sini, semalam.

Kali terakhir kerajaan menurunkan harga petrol dan diesel adalah 1 November lalu, iaitu kepada RM2.15 seliter bagi (RON97), RM2.05 (RON92) manakala diesel dijual pada harga RM2.05 selepas pada Jun lalu membuat keputusan menaikkan harga minyak sebanyak 78 sen daripada RM1.92 kepada RM2.70 seliter.

Shahrir berkata, pada akhir Oktober lalu, harga minyak dunia turun di bawah paras AS$70 dan atas dasar itu harga minyak negara pada Disember ini dijangka akan turun.

Beliau berkata, walaupun ketika ini musim sejuk di kawasan hemisfera utara dan akan ada peningkatan permintaan untuk minyak bagi tujuan pemanasan tetapi minyak berkenaan bukan petrol, sekali gus tidak menaikkan harga komoditi berkenaan.

“Ketika kerajaan menaikkan harga minyak sehingga RM2.70 Jun lalu, ramai rakyat yang merungut ’sakit’ kerana perbelanjaan meningkat tetapi, hakikatnya ia hanya untuk tiga bulan.

“Bagaimanapun, kerajaan mahu rakyat terus mengamalkan dasar berjimat cermat kerana kita tidak dapat meramal harga minyak pada masa depan,” katanya.

Hy All,
I just found this tutorial on how to build offline repository and feel to try in by my self. anyway this is rather not difficult than other site i ve found. besides all, i try it first. ok wait for my comment. for more details, please click the link below this article.

I was going through my /var/cache/apt/archives folder the other day and I thought to myself, “So will I have to re-download all these packages if I do a clean install? It’d be cool to build my own APT repository with the 3000+ packages in my local cache.” I mean, internet access is not cheap here in Ghana and the speed is nothing to write home about. The only snag was I didn’t know how to do it. So I went hunting on google and it turned out a lot has been published on this topic. I found it all rather confusing, mostly geeks talking to other geeks in geekish, so I decided to write my own how-to for my much simpler mind.

If your roaring to go and know what you’re doing, skip down to the summary. If you want to take things slow however, read on. Okay, enough talking already, let’s get our hands dirty…

1) Create folders for the package files you plan to keep in your repository. Here is an example: in your home folder, create a new folder called repository in which you will keep all your downloaded packages. If you plan to burn the package files onto a CD, I suggest you create separate folders for each disk. The naming is up to you – disk_1, disk_2, etc (I’ll assume this naming convention throughout the rest of the tutorial). This is just to ensure that you use the next folder once your cache reaches the size of a CD (usually 700MB). If you are using a local hard drive or a DVD, you obviously have higher limits to keep in mind. If you do not plan to create a CD/DVD, you may simply dump all the files in the repository folder.

2) The next step is to copy all your deb files (those files that end with .deb)  to the repository folder(s). Open Nautilus, navigate to /var/cache/apt/archives and copy all the deb files to the appropriate folder(s). For instance, /home/<username>/repository/disk_1 - keep an eye on the size of the folders. To do it in the terminal:

cp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb ~/repository/disk_1 

If you have many files, it may take quite a while so be patient.

3) Change into your repository folder:

cd ~/repository/disk_1

4) Now do the following command to create the Packages.gz file that is needed to for Synaptic to “see” your repository:

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

I suggest you copy and paste this to avoid any typos.

• Please note that every time you add any more .deb files to this folder, you have to create a new Packages.gz file using the above command before the new file(s) will show up in Synaptic (or Aptitude).
• Be sure to install the build-essential package (sudo aptitude install build-essential) before running the above command.

There are several ways of using your newly created repository.

I) Keeping the files on a local hard disk…

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file like so:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And insert this on a new line (preferably the first):

deb file:/home/username/repository/disk_1/ /

Remember to replace username with your real username.

Reload your package index like this:

sudo aptitude update

II) Using a CD/DVD as a repository:

a) Burn the repository folder onto a CD/DVD

b) With the disc loaded in your drive, fire up Synaptic and click through the menus like this:

Edit –> Add CD Rom.

c) You will be asked to type in a description for the disc; type in anything, for instance: Offline Repository Disk 1.

d) Click Ok.

Summary
Go to /var/cache/apt/archives and copy your debian packages to a folder of your choice, for example, /home/<username>/repository/

• Change into the repository directory

cd /home/username/repository

• And generate a Packages.gz file like this:

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

Make sure build-essential is installed (sudo aptitude install build-essential) before you run the above command.

• Add the following line to your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list)

deb file:/home/username/repository/ /

Remember to replace username with your real username

• Reload your package index like this:

sudo apt-get update

That’s it… sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I found the following tips for using Synaptic very useful:

• You might want to check out the online sources.list generator. It will let you select various repositories for your sources.list. Once you get the output, simply replace the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file with it.

• Now have a loom at the Synaptic settings (Settings –> Repositories –> Settings).

• I suggest you decide if you always want to get the highest/latest version or if you want to stick to the feisty version.

• Also, ensure that you have checked the option that allows downloaded packages to be kept in the cache, otherwise you will just have to download them again if you accidentally do an apt-get autoclean or something similar. Have fun.

Hi all,

I just want to share with you about what i ve got while browsing today. Just Click the GOT AN OPINION? small banner at my side bar or just click this link (Youth Says) and you will lead to the site and you can be able to explore it by yourself.

Lets start it.

Today i will continue to read all over internet to learn more about how to configure my ubuntu since i am a newbie on this linux world. I have once linux os (Fedora) but i gave up already coz it was very difficult to get on with. But now, i will learn linux coz i hate windows environment which is “virus friendly”. Windows is now sit under the virus feet… very sad. So without wasting time i migrate to Ubuntu…

Ok la.. i have to go now…see ya.

Yes, finally I can be able to install the Ubuntu Linux 8.10. After 3 hours battle trying to install this OS, eventually linux has been installed into my old laptop (not really old). The CD is actually corrupted but my friend’s baby oil has saved me..ahaha…. I m serious!

This is the step:

1. try to convert the Ubuntu Cd into .iso file.

2. Error occur. “fatal error occurred on MsgicIso.”. (So my hope is almost fade away.)

   I concluded that some sector in cd has corrupted.

3. The first time burn is using the Magic Iso. Later, I try the Iso Recorder.

   But before I install, I moved cd out and try to clean it.

   But This part has saved me. I took the baby oil, and clean up the Cd and do new convert. I guess it will stuck, because past 3 days, I ve tried so many times and result failure.But this time, even there are error reading for some sector in cd, the Iso recorder try to correct the error occurred. Thanks to Iso recorder. It is powerful tools to convert CD data to .iso file.

4. After that I try to install the converted file using Wubi. The Wubi installation is very simple. Just run it and it will detect your iso file. After configure little setting, the Wubi will do the rest. While waiting you can have a cup of coffee and lie down sometimes.

5. Finally, It has been installed. So know I have ubuntu 8.10 into my laptop.

Installation tools:

1. Wubi.exe

2. Iso Recorder

3. Corrupted CD(this is my cd condition, but not severe!)

4. baby oil (to clean the CD. Not recommended. I force to do this)

5. Windows XP os.(I run wubi from windows)

6. Just Install it!

Thanks.

Spirit of Linux.

Past 2 days, i ve tried to install ubuntu and failed. uhhh..really hate this kind of problem. i gues that the cd has a problem. it may be corrupted during burning or my laptop cd drive could not support the 4x speed burner.  But tonight, i will try again and install it through windows as my friend recomended for me to try. acctually, i’ve tried it so many times but i failed and get fed up on just trying. anyway it gave me experience how to handle this problem… for know, there is no reason for me to tell you how to install ubuntu unless i succed to install it.

Ok la, Pray for my Luck. Tonight is the last battle to install it. i hope it can be done as i plan.

This blog will be updated every week on Thursday. It seems so busy at this moment…

I just finished installing this wordpress theme. I like this theme. after installing it ,i modified it a little bit. Just remove the original side bar and replace it with widget provided. anyway, thanks to wordpress and the creator of this theme.
