Installing Firefox Aurora binary

Posted by on January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

I rarely use Firefox these days. I usually use Chrome, Lynx or Opera for web browsing. I think it’s because the latest Firefox version on BlankOn repository is 3.6 (or is it 3.5?). It’s still quite a good one, but I didn’t have any reason to use it while I got other browsers on their latest version at my disposal.

A couple days before, I decided to try Firefox again. But which one? I decided to get Aurora build. I’d like to get the nightly build but I guess it’s a bit overboard. Read more

Openbox on BlankOn Pattimura

I quite like Openbox. It’s lightweight, simple and sleek. I like it even more than LXDE or XFCE.

Openbox on its default setting isn’t very convenience though. I’ve got used to GNOME a little bit too much, I want some of its provided functionalities are present on my Openbox setup too. Read more

Some notes of BlankOn Pattimura

Posted by on November 23, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

  • The scrollbar is too small, but can be fixed by editing theme file
  • kde-plasma-desktop work while kde-plasma-netbook didn’t. Still heavier than default BlankOnPanel. Need to install network-manager-kde to 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)
