The night is old.
My heart is sold.
Now, lady, you have been told.

Morning has come.
Bright, the sun shines.
Smile, girl, greet the brand new day.

Who’s the worst liar?

Posted by Willy Permana in Usil on April 17, 2010

The third worst people in this world is casual liars, because they tell regular lies to you.

The second worst people in this world is lawyers, because they tell legally convicting lies to you.

The real worst people in this world is politicians. They can tell a lie so vivid that even they come to believe it.

*Note: This joke ‘s taken from one of the posts in Politikana without permission :P

E17 a.k.a Enlightenment, a lightweight window manager

Posted by Willy Permana in Komputer on March 30, 2010

Recently I’m trying Enlightenment, a light window manager. I’ve known this app for a long time, but only recently try to install it (I blame Dedi for tempting me :P ). I usually use GNOME. It’s virtually the only desktop environment I ever use. KDE isn’t up to my taste, and I rarely use XFCE anymore since my Xubuntu box has been monitor-less for a while.

The installation steps are the same as posted on Dedi’s blog, with some minor changes. I use old repo key because new repo key will give a GPG error. And since I’m using BlankOn Nanggar, I use packages for Jaunty.

  1. Edit my sources list

    2. $ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  2. Add following line

    3. deb http://packages.enlightenment.org/ubuntu jaunty main extras

  3. Add repo key

    4. wget http://packages.enlightenment.org/repo.key.old -O - | sudo apt-key add -

  4. Update packages and install Enlightenment

    5. $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install e17

  5. Log out and choose Enlightenment session

Enlightenment with Clearlook theme


You can get additional theme, app and stuff for Enlightenment from http://e17-stuff.org/ and http://exchange.enlightenment.org/ (Thanks Dedi, for the link :) )

So, do you want enlightenment? (Hahaha, bad pun, I know :) )

Note: Ubuntu repository also got Enlightenment packages, but it’s still an e16 version.

Getting Ubuntu .deb packages using apt-web

Posted by Willy Permana in Komputer on March 20, 2010

At home, I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 for my main OS. Unfortunately, it’s not connected to internet. Whenever I need to install anything, I had to download it manually from Ubuntu repository. (Well, I also using BlankOn 5.0 at my workplace, but since BlankOn 5.0 is based on Ubuntu 9.04, I can’t just copy its packages in apt cache and copy them to my Hardy machine.)

Manual download has it own cons. Ubuntu repo website do lists the dependencies for a .deb package, but how do I know what’s the dependencies for the dependencies, or whether some of the dependencies are already installed or not?

This is where apt-web, a web-based .deb package finder application developed by mas Fajran “Iang” Iman Rusadi, came in. It helps me to know which packages I have to download and gives package URL on chosen repository mirrors for any specific release. For instance, if I want to install inkscape on Hardy, apt-web let me know that I only need to download two packages (inkscape & libmagick++10), either from Kambing, Buaya, UGM or other mirrors.

Neat, eh? :)
