$this->Post->title('Installing Looking Glass 3D');

$this->Post->details('January 27th, 2007','Codes, Personals' ,'7 Comments »');

first read this for your videocard requirements. then add the following line which is suitable for you into your /etc/apt/sources.list.

for stable

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib

for testing

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib

for unstable

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian unstable contrib

i suggest use the stable one. then update using the following command

sudo apt-get update

and install looking glass using this one

sudo apt-get install lg3d-core

you will need to accept the licenses for lg4d, jdk and java to complete the installation. and after that you need to end your session/log out and choose from gdm/kdm the looking glass session and now login. tedentttt! :)

  • One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life. (Michael Sinz)
  • Once you get started, you’ll only stop because you’re exhausted.
  • It takes another experienced person to really appreciate what you’re doing.
  • Conversely, there’s some odd people who pride themselves on their lack of experience.
  • You can do it for money or for fun.
  • If you spend more time doing it than watching TV, people think you’re some kind of freak.
  • It’s not really an appropriate topic for dinner conversation.
  • There’s not enough taught about it in public school.
  • It doesn’t make any sense at all if you try to explain it in strictly clinical terms.
  • Some people are just naturally good.
  • But some people will never realize how bad they are, and you’re wasting your time trying to tell them.
  • There are a few weirdos with bizarre practices nobody really is comfortable with.
  • One little thing going wrong can ruin everything.
  • It’s a great way to spend a lunch break.
  • Everyone acts like they’re the first person to come up with a new technique.
  • Everyone who’s done it pokes fun at those who haven’t.
  • Beginners do a lot of clumsy fumbling about.
  • You’ll miss it if it’s been a while.
  • There’s always someone willing to write about the only right way to do things.
  • It doesn’t go so well when you’re drunk, but you’re more likely to do it.
  • Sometimes it’s fun to use expensive toys.
  • Other people just get in the way.

$this->Post->title('Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0');

$this->Post->details('January 23rd, 2007','Personals' ,'4 Comments »');
a cute post copy/paste from my friend darkblak. here it is..
Dear Tech Support Team:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child-processes that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.

Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0, but the ‘uninstall’ doesn’t work on Wife 1.0.

Please help!

Thanks,
“A Troubled User”

REPLY:

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that people complain about.

Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this. (Look in your Wife 1.0 Manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support). I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the environment. I suggest installing the background application “Yes Dear” to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command /usr/bin/APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Sarees 2.1 and Jewelry 5.0.

STATUTORY WARNING: DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryWithShortSkirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support …

$this->Post->title('ImportError: No module named berylsettings ( Beryl Latest SVN Package )');

$this->Post->details('January 15th, 2007','Codes, Personals' ,'20 Comments »');

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 2, in ?
import berylsettings
ImportError: No module named berylsettings

i encountered that error recently…
and here is my solutions : edit /usr/bin/beryl-settings with root permission on line says

#!/usr/bin/env python

change it to

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

enable your Treviño’s repository and type this to your console

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install beryl-settings-bindings

and if you get this ( on the above operation this will automatically install python-all but still I get this error )

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 3, in ?
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

install this

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-glade2

and if you get this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 1421, in makeCategoryArea(Category) File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 1268, in makeCategoryArea CatBasePixbuf = gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size("%s/%s"%
(BaseDir,CatImages[Category.Name]),IconSize,IconSize)
gobject.GError: Unrecognized image file format

something like that, install this one

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-common

note : this is based from the error i encountered but it seems that things work properly im not saying that this is the solution if you will still encounter some error feel free to post a comment

soucelink : beryl , Treviño

thanks to Treviño for keeping his repository/package updated. and keep up the good work!

$this->Post->title('Firefox Backspace action');

$this->Post->details('January 15th, 2007','Personals' ,'No Comments »');

…bit confused when I press backspace my page in firefox2.0 will scroll up and not go back in previous page. Well that was the Linux default. :D Some kind a weird. hehehe. And pressing shift + backspace will scroll down your page. It is a feature of firefox in Linux platfrom.

The backspace key was mapped to the browser ‘Back’ function in Mozilla for consistency with Internet Explorer. However, to improve consistency with other applications running on Linux, it was decided that this mapping should be optional—and set based on which platform the browser was running on. As a compromise, this preference was created to allow the backspace key to either go back/forward, scroll up/down a page, or do nothing. - mozillazine

how to turn off this feature? go to address bar and type about:config
and press enter. and go to Filter for browser.backspace_action and change the value to 0.

toink! i always get this error when running the beryl-settings

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 2, in ?
import berylsettings
ImportError: No module named berylsettings

someone says that this is the solution but unfortunately still not work for me. I know it is an SVN package, kaya hindi pa siya ganon ka stable. kaya salamat na din sa effort. and keep up the good work! :)

all i can do is uninstall all the 0.1.5 svn package, disable Treviño’s repository, add the beryl’s ubuntu repository and install it again ( 0.1.4 package ). now i can change the settings of my 0.1.4 beryl. :)

$this->Post->title('Why Linux over XP?');

$this->Post->details('January 14th, 2007','Personals' ,'7 Comments »');

Honestly I’m not a anti-microsoft who say’s that microsoft suck. But nagiging praktikal lang ako.

  1. I have a low-end pc where Linux run faster than XP.
  2. One of the less-fortunate who can’t purchase a licensed XP.
  3. I don’t have any BSOD in Linux box while in XP sumisigaw pang PAGEFAULT_ERROR_NONPAGEDAREA blah blah blah something like that.
  4. I find my home in file system while XP ( ano nga ba ang home sa XP? ).
  5. And lastly linux is programmed to share while XP is programmed to sold.

Ayan na kaya ako nag shift sa Ubuntu…. Thanks to poell siya yung nagbigay saken ng distro ng ubuntu. :)

$this->Post->details('January 12th, 2007','Codes, Personals' ,'1 Comment »');

Alien

Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from anotherdistribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can usealien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it.

Last month I have a problem on how to handle RPM files in Kubuntu. since os ko ay Kubuntu and doesn’t support rpm files so akala ko wala na akong pagasa. And hindi ko naman naisip na meron palang Alien. And now ko lang ulit naalala kung meron bang parang crossover or something like Wine na you can execute Windows Executables in Linux Platforms. Kaya nag surf ako and i got Alien.

Make sure na naka enable ang universe repository.

sudo apt-get install alien

and para naman sa crossover move ng alien

alien -k filename.rpm
