Linux Mint Xfce sudah termasuk Gnome PPP !

Saya baru mencoba Linux Mint Xfce (Debian edition) untuk komputer jadul di kantor saya yang RAMnya hanya 256 MB, dan betapa senang dan terkejutnya saya mendapati bahwa Gnome PPP sudah terinstall by default !

Untuk modem 3G/HSDPA/CDMA yang terkadang kurang optimal dengan konfigurasi default di network manager, adanya Gnome PPP sangat membantu. Biasanya saya perlu repot sedikit untuk menginstall Gnome PPP dengan cara lain (download di komputer lain, lalu ditransfer via USB flash drive). Bravo buat tim Linux Mint !

Ubuntu Repository List for Indonesia (IIX)

When you’re in Indonesia and wanted to update your Ubuntu linux, sometimes it is necessary to get the updates from a Local repository since it’ll be much faster.

You can edit the repository from the terminal by typing command :

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst

Or just use whatever text editor you like using the root / superuser privileges to edit/etc/apt/sources.lst

So, here is an IIX (Indonesia Internet Exchange) repository list for Ubuntu and its descendants.

You don’t need to use all of them, and honestly, you’d better not use all of them. Use the most stable, up to date, and closest to you since it will be faster that way. For later use, you may write down everything on your sources.lst though, and put comment to the lists that you don’t use.

And don’t forget to update your apt after the change.

sudo apt-get update

Many thanks to these mirror providers, I hope more will follow to spread the delicate of freedom :
Kambing, CBN Net, Komo, Indika Net, ITB, UGM, FOSS-ID, ITS, Buaya, UNEJ

Contact us if one of the mirror is broken without us noticing. We’ll make the updates accordingly.

Backup Data (PC Suite) Phonebook Cross CB99Wi di Ubuntu

Ponsel lokal Cross CB99Wi (Triple On GSM+GSM+CDMA, WiFi) menyediakan CD driver dan software PC Suite yang bisa diinstall di sistem operasi Windows.

Kegunaan PC Suite tersebut antara lain adalah untuk melakukan backup & restore data termasuk phone book dan SMS.

Bagaimana dengan pengguna sistem operasi Ubuntu yang berbasis Linux?

Ternyata tidak perlu khawatir, bahkan lebih beruntung dan lebih enak. Karena Ubuntu sudah menyediakan aplikasi PC Suite yang kompatibel dengan Cross CB99Wi yaitu Wammu.

Cara menginstallnya: (saya asumsikan menggunakan Ubuntu versi 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, kalau Anda masih menggunakan versi lama... segera upgrade!)

1. Klik Application > Ubuntu Software Center
2. Cari/search "Wammu"
3. Klik Install

Setelah diinstall, Anda bisa menjalankannya dengan launch Applications > Accessories > Wammu.

Colokkan kabel data ponsel Cross CB99Wi ke port USB komputer Anda. Lalu pilih menu Connect di Wammu. Setelah itu Anda bisa melihat data-data di ponsel, melakukan backup, restore, dll.

Langkah-langkah di atas sepertinya juga dapat dilakukan untuk ponsel Cross yang lain maupun HP lokal/HP Cina yang berbasis operating system MTK.
