oh where is the sound

ok last night when i got home, first thing i did is turning my sayang on.
i just got my hard disk full with new movies, -thanks to the geek house-.

and it happens that when i play, no sounds came out. i tried with different players but negative. so i reboot.

then i reboot again.

again and again.

i gave up and tried the older kernel


now it works!

so i take my time watching a movie.. with some background process,running in the background (i now managed to watch many videos in full screen mode. talk about loneliness n boredom)

in the meantime, i posted a question in #ubuntu-my
which later somebody posted a link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

this morning i reboot in the default kernel and followed the instruction in the link

ouh before that i just randomly
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart 
that went ok but the sound not yet there

bla bla bla.. the hardware is there n recognized, kernel got the sound packages, so seems like nothing is actually wrong

but the last line,

sudo alsa force-reload

made me i finished another movie :)


really, the next problem that i need to fix, i'll ctrl+f 'finally' in the troubleshooting page

at a glance

duduk dekat meja skang boleh nampak beberapa perkara..
  • tripod patah dah byk kali repair still xelok.. bole nampak dgn spirit tak level skang.. tapi still boleh guna, cuma kena lapik siket la..
  • lutut yang dah bebulan oke tetiba saket balek.. krim pulak dah expired.. (dah lama sangat da rupanya tapi belum baik)
  • hinge lappy da totally detached (lcd dgn body) tapi da ejas sket so die jadi guard je.. mmg lekat dekat cable je skang.. yang ni pun pakai konsep lapik lapik jugak
  • filp cover phone da patah. separa bogel dan tak lagi menarek perhatian rakan rakan
  • kamera yang malas nak sebut the flaw nanti la baru pegi repair
  • vmware yang takbole updet kernel or something.. sangap microsoft ofc gak aa.. susah woo pakai openoffice~
  • vbox yang x recognise img.. dah format manual pun xjadi jugak.. dulu dulu guna macam senang je.. dah lama x tgk fedora ngan w7
  • external keyboard yang bukak pastu duk main2 sampai malas nk pasang balik.. farewell je ahh~
  • pokok kaktus masih bertahan sehingga arini.. tapi yang satu tu dah nipis sebab kurang air takde org jaga masa cuti raya haji. patutnya tebal.
  • selain sepeket kecik biskut, takde makanan lain. aku lapa. n xrasa biskut tu membuka selera.
problem tak problem sangat aa kan

linux for non-g33k

aku jumpa satu karangan menarik. berbaloi duh baca. korang baca la skali.
tak kisah la korang linux user ke luser ke.. (luser tu lawan bg user. paham2 korang je ah)

so here goes~

taken from linux hater blog
I'm sure all of this is already in y'all's blood. But you know, I figured I should write it down for all the noobs out there. They need to learn how to behave properly as a luser.

  • If something doesn't work for you, tell yourself that you don't really need it anyways.
  • Convert at least five others to user your distribution of choice. Even against their will. Do whatever it takes. Lie about how it makes such a great OS. Tell them the people at the NYSE use it. Tell them it gets less viruses. Tell them it runs on their toaster, so it's awesome. If they resist, here's some things you can do:
    • Do NOT research Microsoft security technologies. Instead, just point solely to Windows 95 and UAC as examples of poor security on Windows
    • Tell them that they can install thousands, no millions, of apps with a single command.
    • Tell them that they'll have choice. Do not tell them that they'll have to make tons of choices which they know nothing about.
    • If they are non-programmers, tell them that it's a fantastic opportunity to get into programming and spend hours and hours to make their system work.
    • Question their manhood or womanhood.
    • Accuse them of spreading FUD.
    • If they're Mac users, accuse them of blatant homosexuality. Then tell them that they're spending way too much money. Show them your wobbly windows.
    • If they point out that they won't be able to do something that they could before, tell them that they didn't really need to do that anyways.
  • A year later, convert them to your new distribution of choice.
  • When you have a configuration problem, do one or more of:
    • File a bug, without doing any research on the problem.
    • If you're really in the mood, find a totally unrelated bug, and post a comment along the lines of, "Hey, I think this might be related ..."
    • If you're actually partially smart and have found the appropriate bug report, post a comment saying 'Me too!', even though there are already 300 of the same. It really helps developers when their bug report pages are really long. You see, they judge the importance of a bug by how short their scrollbar grabby-thing gets.
    • Post to Ubuntuforums. Be sure to sound really spoiled.
    • Tell yourself that you don't need that feature. Tell yourself that if you wait patiently you'll have it in 2 years, maybe.
    • Write something along the lines of "I totally need this feature XXX to work. Someone help me" to every mailing list you can find that ends with -devel.
  • When others have problems, do one or more of:
    • Tell them that it works for you, and give no further information. New users must learn on their own. Remember this. It's for their own good.
    • If you're a little more motivated, tell them that it works for you, and then tell them about your hardware that is totally different from theirs.
    • Never reveal that you actually have no idea what you're talking about. Suggest random solutions like patching their kernel.
    • If they're trying to watch some video or listen to some music in a non-free format, drop some knowledge on them about how they're poisoning society. Trust me, everyone really cares. They're just too stupid to know to care.
    • If all else fails, yes, you can tell them that they don't really need that feature. By wanting it, they're just prolonging their addiction to useful software.
  • Most importantly, write blogs, comment on blogs, post on forums , anything, to tell people that your Linux desktop does everything you need, but make sure you know absolutely nothing about the proprietary software workflows that exist on other platforms. It's really important that you have a "clean room" opinion, unaffected by the imperfections of the real world.
jadi macam mana? make sense tak? haha memang blog tu agak exxagerate la jugak sebenanya.
some are true, at least for me. aku memang obses lebih dengan wobbly windows tu.. hihi

selaku end user yang tegar, tak salah aku guna linux.
dari dulu suka2 je format pc. bila keluar windows vista yang jauh dari panggang dia punya compatibility dgn laptop, aku tau, aku kena move on.
masa tu memang segala ebook collection aku redah. bukan paham sangat padahal, tapi tak kisah la.. bukan baca betul2..
masalah nya masa tu.. aku takde space.. fomat pun satu partition je selalu.. celah mana nak bekap data suma
tapi tanak kalah gak~ buat jugak dual boot, dengan xp sp3, version yang vista-like. kahkah.. bila dah biasa guna vista betul, takdela wow sangat kot..

las2 sampaila seru suka2 try fedora. sempatla dua edition pakai.. then pergi MSOSCONF 09 pow pulak byk2 distro punya cd. apalagi.. install fest la laptop aku..
yang lekat dihati skang ubuntu.. tapi distro lain pun tetap menawan hati gak..
guna command line interface pun tak susah sangat nak explore pc. belajar-able la orang kate~

haa kat seblah tu korang boleh nampak.. ade yang baru nak release lagi.. karmic koala namanya
dengan cite GNOME pun da ade baru.. ni la satu best yang tak dapat tempat lain.. keep us excited!

terima kasih para developers!
bersama melaksanakan 1linux: linux for non-g33k

tarball

i hate this thing.
anyway here are some truly-bloody-hard-to-remember kinda how-to.
when i happen to do one, thousands (exaggerated for sure, but i dont know how to express like 'berpuluh-puluhan' or something to that effect) of google results i clicked to just to execute few tiny lines. why dont i compile it here for my reference, aite?

  • download a tarball. its a compressed folder, or zipped as the one in win. the extension can be .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and few others. (obviously from the websites n not repo/sypnaptic)
  • change the directory to the folder that contains the downloaded tarball
cd /home/anggun/Download and ls to list all the files inside. should see the newly installed package by now.
  • unpack the tarball
tar xzvf filename.tar.gz
tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2
  • change the directory of newly unpack folder.
'cd /filename' then 'ls' to see what's inside.
  • look for install.txt or readme.txt and take sometimes to read. in case there might be some useful info there.
  • ./configure it just checks your system and assigns values for system-dependent variables.
  • make to actually built the executable binary program.
  • sudo make install to finally install it.
  • done, if it returns no error somewhere. and congratulations.

p/s: i never succeed doing one. always try harder for a simpler alternative. too bad you tarballs, as bad as ur name sounds.

of.. kerang?

mencari kerang yg baik tapi still takjumpe
meletakkan kerang yg baik tapi lom berjaya..

mari membuat kerang.


bukan niatku nak typo, tapi xsure eja cengkerang ke cangkerang. the latter seems not too familiar but it does sounds familiar.

p/s: bile bleh balek utp blk ni?

===========
edit ah sket..

td umah saye blackout, sbb kipas kat bwh xbape betol, kdg2 bile turn on je leh blekout.
maka terkapai2 la saye lam bilik lappy mati stret (batt saye da kong lame da)
lalu saye mengintai2 ke bilik seblah dan kebawah lalu mengetahui kisah kipas itu.
da ok balik sume
saye on kan la balik. pastu saye x amalkan mount sume saye punye media. so access la secare manual. satu partition saye xleh bukak. mebi sbb td tgh ade file operation running pastu sudden death kan, so wenglah partition tersebut.
error die panjang, tp yg saye igt, reboot on windows twice run chckdsk bla2..
saye bleh imagine process tu berlaku tp technically, mmg Windows ke maksud error msg tu?
wahahaha.. try je aa pasnih bukak tengok~

a chix of cambridge


i'm on linux. fedora 10 cambridge. like.. in my 5th day.

why linux? why open source? because.. i. just. can.
it is that simple.
i've been on win for forever.. until i finished my second last paper on my second last semester.

so will you join us?
check this out fosschix. if i can, u should, too! using pirated stuff are not that schweet, people =p

why now?
because i just got a break from hectic exams, i just got to buy dvd's to put few files in and i can't burn cd with my lappy, usb creator didn't work well, i'm not in the mood of watching movies/ series (not even to download).

will that makes me a g33k?
sorry, no!
i'm doing all this stuff while having good manicure done and the Digital Camera Magazine on my lap while chatting with housemates and roomate. i mean, other things attract me more than these.

OK OK maybe i'll read the commands.. basic unix commands.. and run a few.
but believe me.. i dont fancy monochrome-unreadable-words that much.

its just all exciting! of discovering new things!
who says the 'curiousity kills the cat?' pity him!
