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

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

:D

change the MAC address

for some reason, you might want to change the MAC address.. its ok, i wont judge u, chill~!


so lets do it in the ubuntu way

1) open the /etc/network/interface

sudo nano /etc/network/interface

2) add this line

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06 #ur new MAC address

ok here's the important part
first get to know ur current MAC number.
type ifconfig and look for HWaddr in the eth0 field.

3) restart.

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

notice that ur IP address will be assigned to a new one

and here is the fedora way

thank you for reading ~!

c.o.o.l.n.e.s.s redefined

ok this is really, really interesting.

remember once upon a time i did ask around on how to connect LAN n WIFI at once?
i was still young and still with fedora back then. (lasem or awal semni je pun~)
i didn't manage to do it and considering the LAN connection is better then the wifi, and found a better way to get rid of the network policy block thingy so i dont care much anymore.

but today.. without any effort.. it. just. happened.
sooooo essing (seriously) cool~!

am just switched to wifi for few minutes, i get back to the lan connection, but in my xp (the vm) the ip looks different. plus the other numbers looks like the wifi connection is currently turned on. really, i was like soooo 'ouh really' when the page redirected to the streamyx login page. (and yes, the GadisHub also went off because of this)
b4 i've never tried to use the wifi connection on the xp because i guess its not yet installed. not sure though, i just played the freshly-formatted image from someone.

any body care to explain the science behind?
the ip table looks normal and no routing alteration has been done.

panel problem solved

intro
since last few weeks, i removed my bottom panel to fully utilize the all-beautiful Avant Windows Manager. but now i added the panel back in place
however..

problem
by default, the newly added panel is empty. i'm familiar with workspace switcher and many other panel plugins but doesn't seem to have any idea on this tiny boxes, not even the name. (must be another jargon, urghh)

solution
1) right click on the panel
2) add to panel
3) add the Window List (Switch between open windows using button)

conclusion
don't fancy problems?
do nothing, at all.

no suitable title, but anyway..

selaen drpada conversation yg menginsafkan.. sile perhatikan aku tgh wat esaimen sbenanye.. pastu bile nak stadi test?

gudlak for me, and fellow frens.. T__T

problem of the day

1. couldn't start applications under the administrative task.
the error
xauthorization bla2..

2. google and found that it actually just need a restart which actually might makes sense because i just installed my vmware. so there i go, long abandoned restart button.

3. then couldn't login due to no free spaces, so the GDM cant create session n login not possible.
that's the error msg.. and i was like, trying to change session, but i don't have much of desktop environment anyway. so none will get me into the system. not even the terminal session.

4. panic mode.. haha.. ok, not really, i always had problems anyway so its no use to be that panic.

5. grab the live cd. my only hope that i could think of.

6. on terminal: sudo su, to be the root that can access my home folder.

7. on file browser, copy files from folders in home folder.. apparently i cant delete or cut-&-paste the files

8. remove the original files to free some spaces up.

9. things went ok when restarted.

phew.

living open source way is not always that beautiful.

cakap la sikit kat mana-mana Shiretoko.. ni tidak..

ok macam ni.. bila kita format, installer tu biasanya bundled dengan applications yang latest pada masa tu. ok fine.. walopun agak bengang kenapa beta version, tapi boleh je update. fine. yang versi baru belom release. fine.

lepas tu.. update kadang-kadang bukan boleh main yum main apt-get saje, kena install baru.. ok fine..
google sana google sini, jumpa solution.
ada beberapa package yang tak auto marked-to-install rupanya.

dah siap suma.. cek balik version application tu..
apa? tak berubah?!

rupa-rupanya, nama application tu dah lain. icon pun lain.

apasal takde sape penah sebut yang mozilla firefox version 3.5.2 ialah Shiretoko?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090803 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.2

dah berapa lama dah ada pun tak tahulah..
ni macam yang deer park dulu kot. icon biru.

adakah perkara aneh ni berlaku kat aku sorang je?

merdeka diri dan sistem operasi

ouh.. dah 2 sept..
salam merdeka :D

erti merdeka bagi saya?
berbuka trip yang panjang.. terima kasih kawan-kawan
sunset n berbuka @ teluk muroh lumut- mayang @ umah arep - refreshment @ old town setiawan - supper @ mekdi - sukaria @ playground lumut waterfront - menonton karok contest @ lumut bistro seblah playground.
balik kebilik diserikan ngan sahur yg ditapau..

selain tu? haa.. saya meninggalkan bilik petang tu sedang pc saya sedang running on liveCD and installing. ya, sedang format dgn ertikata lain. tapi at the same time bleh guna lappy macam biasa.

dan saya merdeka dari program & aplikasi komputer dengan menggunakan yang percuma saja~! dan juga bes! merdekalah juga laptop saya dari penyeksaan task yang heavy :D

so cam biase.. lepas fresh install, kne ulang balik proses memasang dan mengemaskini ni..
jadi disini saya cuba senaraikan apa yang saya ada dan saya rasa perlu sentiasa ada untuk menambahkan konviensi computer saya supaya menjadi lebih bernilai dr seketul.. computer biasa..

goes by category lah ye..
