Some notes of BlankOn Pattimura
- The scrollbar is too small, but can be fixed by editing theme file
kde-plasma-desktopwork whilekde-plasma-netbookdidn’t. Still heavier than default BlankOnPanel. Need to installnetwork-manager-kdeto get networking working (wat?) since I didn’t install full KDE packages.- VLC really need to be made default media player. But I guess removing Totem is just to much hassle.
- GDM aren’t rendered right on netbook small screen
Update:
- KDE4 have tendency to crash. Hard. Seems the netbook resources aren’t enough for KDE to gracefully handle the load
(like several tabs of Google Chrome)
This blog was hacked :(

the "rogue" admin
It’s amazing that even it went unnoticed for some days, yet it only did minimal damages.

One would think that after that repetitive coding for three years, the students shall whip out the application rather easily. But no, many were resorting to err….asking other students to code the projects for them.
