Mengubah urutan menu boot Ubuntu

Ketika kita memasang Ubuntu berdampingan dengan Windows (dual booting) maka secara standar ketika startup, menu boot akan memilih booting Ubuntu terlebih dahulu. Sebenarnya cukup mudah mengubah menu boot Ubuntu, yaitu dengan mengedit berkas menu.lst yang ada di /boot/grub. Jalankan perintah di Terminal:

cd /boot/grub
sudo gedit menu.lst

Editor teks akan terbuka dan kita bisa mengubah urutan boot menu. Dalam menu.lst, setiap sistem operasi yang terpasang pada komputer diwakili oleh satu blok informasi yang berisi: nama sistem, nomor idenfitikasi standar (uuid), kernel, dan lokasi temporer sistem (initrd). Penomoran blok-blok informasi tersebut berurutan dari nomor 0. Untuk mengubah standar urutan boot menu, cari dalam menu.lst informasi sbb:

# You can specify ‘saved’ instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command ‘savedefault’.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use ‘savedefault’ or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0

Proyek akhir pekan kali ini menghadirkan layanan online kuesioner atau online survey. Layanan ini di buat dengan online.QTAFI.

Nah online.QTAFI ini merupakan versi online dari QTAFI.

Jadi untuk mahasiswa, dosen, peneliti, fakultas atau universitas ataupun pihak-pihak lain yang ingin melakukan survey online bisa mencoba layanan ini. Namun karena layanan ini menggunakan server umum (baca: gratis) maka tingkat kehandalannya tidak dapat dijamin. Untuk peneliti yang ingin melakukan survey besar secara serius bisa memasang online.QTAFI di server masing-masing. Untuk mencoba layanan ini silakan mengirimkan email ke patria(at)incher.uni-kassel.de. Sertakan juga nama project yang Anda inginkan dan sedikit deskripsi project tersebut.

First impression of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

So.. I decided to try Ubuntu last weekend. Since it is now a long vacation until new year, I decided to add Ubuntu beside my Mandriva. I use Mandriva since years ago, if you see my articles about linux here, all are made under Mandriva (previously Mandrake).

Why I decided to try Ubuntu? First, I think it is the most “talk about” linux distro these days. Lots of support, forum, updated regularly and, not like Mandriva, all version are free. The hardware minimum requirement is only 256 mb ram, which is perfect for my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite 2400 with only 512 mb ram). I also want to try GNOME which is the default desktop environment in Ubuntu. And the main reason that I’m interested in Ubuntu is because their names are so cool :D… Dapper Drake, Gutsy Gibbon, Hardy Heron, Intrepid Ibex…. sounds so interesting rite !? :))

The installation is simple, simpler than Mandriva. But I missed the advanced option of disk-partition like in Mandriva. After first boot everything looks normal, clean and fast. However I can not play any multimedia files, even mp3! I must say that I was little bit shock :D… After updating some libraries everything run smoothly now. I find that GNOME is more simple than KDE, still trying to get used to everything in GNOME…

After Ubuntu installed I also add some software. First I installed vpnc to connect to university network. After connected to the internet, everything is easy. Maybe I will write an article about this vpn thing. To install a software I just go to add/remove program or Synaptic Package Manager, so far I haven’t use command line for installing something.

Applications I installed after Ubuntu installation:

If Linux is really that good, why people keep using Windows?

Last week one of my friend asked me, “If Linux is really that good, why people keep using Windows?” It’s really a good question and I think a lot of people out there have the same question. In this post I don’t want to list how Linux is better in a lot of areas compared to Windows because it will be such a long post. Just take a glimpse at http://www.whyLinuxisbetter.net/, this site summarized some reasons for you to try Linux. Instead, we will discuss why changing behaviour (and keeping them) is difficult for lots of people. We will discuss this with NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) approach and with more specific example on the difficulty to move from Windows to Linux.

This post is not an attempt of attacking Windows. Because I think Windows (still) has certain point over Linux. And I am also still using Windows for some working-related issue. So my point is I am not against Windows!

First I would like to take you to NLP environment. What is NLP exactly? You can find the global description about NLP here . One of underlying principle of NLP is the map is not the territory and people react based on the map – not the reality.

This epistemology by Alfred Korzybski prostulate that there is no such thing as objective experience. People do not really react or behave according to the reality, but in fact they react based on beliefs they have built over time about reality. Just one example: 1 hour felt like just 15 minutes when you enjoy something. But with the same time it might felt like 2 or 3 hours or even forever when you are in a boring class with a boring topics and boring professor :D. See my point? The time is the territory, it’s the same for everyone but how each people react to it is varies. Each people react by the map on their prior belief. So how can we take this to further application?

Wine adalah suatu program loader yang memungkinkan pengguna Linux untuk menjalankan aplikasi Windows di Linux. Untuk menggunakan Wine tentu saja kita harus memasangnya terlebih dahulu. Jalankan perintah

# urpmi wine

Selanjutnya Wine akan terpasang, kemungkinan beberapa pustaka harus di pasang terlebih dahulu tergantung kondisi mesin Linux Anda. Wine akan terpasang di bawah direktori home Anda: /home/nama pengguna/.wine/.

Selanjutnya jalankan perintah konfigurasi Wine:

#winecfg

Akan muncul kotak dialog untuk mengkonfigurasi Wine sesuai dengan kondisi partisi Windows dan Linux di komputer Anda.
