Yes, you may say the file size will be too big, 3.3GB to 4.4GB per movie, meanwhile you can convert it and get smaller file size. But, you will get lower quality graphic, you can’t choose the language and you can’t burn it again.

It will consume a lot of hard disc space but with 1 TB or 2TB hard disc capacity available at the market, you can back up any movie that you want.

I choose ‘Brasero‘ because it’s very easy to use.

Open your ‘Brasero’ application. If you don’t have it you can install it using ‘$sudo apt-get install brasero‘ in your Linux terminal with Internet connection.

Enter your DVD disc, wait until it occur on your desktop then click ‘Disc copy’ button.
Then select to ‘write to image file‘.

Set your destination folder and name the ISO file.

Now, it’s ready to copy your DVD to image file.

Writing image file on process.

Image copy is completely done.

You can check the result at your destination folder.

If you want to see the movie, select the movie file, click right mouse button, select ‘Open with‘ menu and select VLC media player. If you don’t have VLC media player, you can install it using ‘$sudo apt-get install vlc” in your linux terminal with Internet connection.

Now you can watch your movie collections any time you want.

It was my first opereting system and I think I used it at about 25 years ago if I’m not mistaken. I like to remember what I did before especially if I have good memories with it. Playing Digger, Test drive or Lemmings, typing with wordstar, database with Dbase III+, spreadsheet with Lotus 123 or Impress and some utility tools like PCTools or Locksmith. Put in the big floppy disc for booting and replaced it with another floppy disc with the program. Hard disc was very rare on that time. But, I tell you, you were very lucky if you have a PC on that time.

Well, that’s all the folk. Now, there is a emulator named DOSbox that can do that. For more details about the DOSbox emulator you can read it in wikipedia.org

The installation is very easy.

Make sure you are connected to the internet.

Open your linux terminal and type: sudo apt-get install dosbox.

Installation will start automatically.

Installation is done.

Now, you can try to run the dosbox. You can press Alt+F2 and type dosbox or through Applications > Games > DOSBox Emulator.

You will get the DOSbox splash screen.

Emulator is ready.

Now, you need a DOS program to try.
You can download the applications from www.dosgames.com/gameindex.php.

Select any program that you like and download it.

For this tutorial, I selected ‘lemming’ game.

Double clik the file to extract it.
Open the folder and press Ctrl+L to display your current location. You will need this location for ‘drive mounting’.

Before you can run any applications in Dosbox, you have to tell the Dosbox where you put your applications and connect it to a virtual drive. They call it ‘mounting’.

The syntax is: mount your_drive your_file_location.
You can set any drive that you like. I choose ‘C’ drive. My file location can be different with yours. It depend where you put your applications.

In this tutorial my location is: /home/taufanlubis/Desktop/taufanlubis/Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings.

You reduce typing your location using ‘~‘ character.

So, it become ~/Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings.

The syntax will be:

mount c ~/Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings

type: ‘c:‘ to switch to drive c.

Type: dir

To display the directory list.
In dos, you only can run a program with extension .COM, .EXE and .BAT.
As you see, there are 2 files with .EXE, CGALEMMI.EXE and VGALEMMI.EXE.
Since we don’t use an CGA monitor, type vgalemmi.exe to run the application.

It’s run. I key in the option and…….

…whoala…..
You can play again your old dos game.

Installing terminator is very easy. Just open your linux terminal, make sure you are connected to the internet and type: sudo apt-get install terminator.

With combination with cmatrix ($sudo apt-get install cmatrix) application, open few new windows, run airodump-ng and tcpdump you are already like a computer freak.

See the sample variables below:

a=12345

b=”I’m python”

a is number and b is string.

See the sample input below:

my_string=raw_input(“What is your name?”)

my_number=input(“Enter your number?”)

raw_input() function will give a string and input() function will give a number.

Now, let’s try directly in the idle.

Open Idle editor.

Select File > New Window.

In the new window, type the codes below:
__________________________________________

print “Welcome to Python”

print “—————–”

print “”

s=raw_input(“Please, enter your name? “)

print “Hi..”,s,” Nice to meet you”

n=input(“Please, enter your favorite number? “)

print “Your favorite number + 3 =”,n+3
__________________________________________

In the ‘New window’, select ‘Run > Run Module‘.

If there is no error, you will see the result in the Idle main screen.

Python is a dynamic programming language that combine great power with very clear syntax. Guido Van Rossum began to work with python in late 1980 at National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer science in Netherland (CWI). Before I read the history, I though it came from name of snake. But I was wrong. Guido named it when he saw ‘Monthy Python’s Flying Circus‘ comedy TV show in BBC.

Write your own first syntax
Well, no need to explain more details about python, you can find it in the Internet. Just let’s start.
Open Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) then type: python.
You will get ‘>>>>’ prompt. It’s mean that python is ready to get any commands.


Try to check with few commands, such as ‘help‘, ‘copyright‘, ‘credits‘ and ‘license‘. To quit, just type ‘quit()‘.

Now, go to python again, type:

print “Hello World!!! I’m python”, then press Enter.

Congratulation, you did first your syntax programming in python.

There is another method to to run the python program. It’s called script mode. The first method that you did above is called Interactive mode. To use python script mode you will need a text editor. Don’t forget to put ‘.py‘ for the file extension otherwise python will not run your program.

In this sample, I use vim. You can use any text editor (vi, nano, emacs, etc) that you are familiar with.

We will do the same syntax, print “Hello World!!! I’m python” and for the filename I use ‘hello_wolrd.py‘.

Type the syntax and save it.

Go to the directory where you saved the file and type “python hello_world.py”.

The command is “python your_filename.py”.

Congratulation, you did your first python script mode programming.

Actually, python has a ‘text editor‘ and ‘shell‘ that will make you easier to do both, interactive and script mode programming. But, I have to explain the optional methods above, so you will have more flexibility.
The application is called, idle.
You can download it directly from the Internet using command ‘$sudo apt-get install idle‘.

Installation is done.

Open your ‘Running Application’ dialog box and type ‘idle‘.

In my Ubuntu, I just type ‘ALT-F2′. You may set any shortcut that you like.
Just set it through (System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts).

Welcome to Idle.
It’s almost the same when you did it with Linux Terminal but you can save, edit and run the file directly which make your python programming easier.

As you see, I type the same syntax, run it and got the same output.

To use text editor in Idle, select ‘File > New window‘ and type the syntax program in it.

Select ‘File > Save‘ from the idle menu, go to directory that you want to save the file, type the filename and press ‘save‘ button. You don’t have to give the extension. Idle will automatically add it for you.

With Idle, you can test your python scripts directly.
Just select ‘Run > Run Module‘, you will see the result in the python shell screen.

Now, you know how to use python in ‘interactive‘ and ‘script‘ mode. There is another method that you have to know also. It’s ‘executable‘ mode.
From Idle, select new window, type the scripts below, and save it as ‘hello_world3.py‘

Now open your Linux Terminal again, go to your python directory.

Change the ‘access right‘ to ‘executable‘ for both, ‘hello_world.py‘ and ‘hello_world3.py‘ using ‘$chmod +x hello_world.py‘ and ‘$chmod +x hello_world3.py‘.

To run the script, just add ‘./‘ before the filename.

Type ‘$./hello_world.py‘ and ‘$./hello_world3.py‘.

If you are familiar in wireless hacking then I believe that these both tools are your best friends.

For the one who are still new in hacking, Airodump-ng is wireless packet capture, simple but very powerfull. It will capture raw 802.11 frames. Airodump-ng writes out a text file about the details of all access points and clients seen.

Aireplay-ng is a tool for injecting packet into a wireless network to generate traffic.

I will not explain how to use these tools in here, but how to install it in Ubuntu Lucidlynx.

If you are still using the previous Ubuntu version, you still can apply the same methods.

Can I install using ‘apt-get install’ command in LucidLynx terminal?
You can’t.


Airodump-ng and Aireplay-ng are part of aircrack-ng packages. So, you just install aircrack-ng then these both tools will automatically available.

Make sure you are connected to the Internet then open your Lucid Lynx terminal (Application > Accessories > Terminal).

Type $sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng.

Installation done.

Now, both airodump-ng and aireplay-ng are available in your system.

I wrote this article for easier solution with very clear instructions.

As you can see from the below picture, at the bottom screen, this error suddenly occur when I tried to empty my Evolution trash (File > Empty Trash).

Now, I will show you how to fix this problem.

First thing first, back up your emails. In case, a worst thing happen you still have a back up.

From the main menu choose (File > Backup Settings).

Select any folder where you want to put your backup file and type a filename.

I suggest to start with ‘Year-Month-Date-description‘ format file name. It will make you easier for tracing at the time you need in the future.

The backup process is in about to begin. Press ‘yes‘ button to start the process.

Backup process is on progress.

After you backup your emails, close your evolution.

Now open your file browser.

Go to evolution/mail/local folder. My location is ‘/home/taufanlubis/.evolution/mail/local‘, your one is only different after /home/your_one/…………..

The folder is hidden so you have to set your file browser to enable ‘Show hidden files‘.

Select ‘View > Show hidden files‘ to enable it then go to evolution folder.

Select any files that start with ‘.cmeta‘ and ‘.index‘.

DON”T select ‘.data‘ files.

After you select the files, click right mouse button and choose ‘Move to Trash‘.

After you deleted the files, open again your evolution.

Now, you can empty your trash.

As you can see below, the process is success.

As I said, you need to back up your emails first. Because, the process it may not 100% success.

When I did my one, I hope the whole process is success but I still got one email that is irrecoverably corrupted.

Well, hope that this article is clear enough and help you to solve the problem.

As I said, it’s very easy to use. Just open your browser and type: “www.grooveshark.com”.

Type any group music that you like to hear in ‘Search text box’.

Or if you want to join the grooveshark community, you can sign up it first.

Sign up process is finished.

In this sample, I choose my favorite group music, ‘rolling stones‘. So, I just type ‘rolling stones‘.

Grooveshark will list down all songs from rolling stones.

Now, I click ‘Fool to cry‘ and choose ‘play‘ on the left title song.

It will start playing immediately.

You can save it as your play list. To save it as play list, click ‘save’ button on the left bottom corner. Enter the play list title and click ‘save’ button to save.

You can add your selected songs or add all songs by click ‘Add all‘ button.

To access your save play list, click ‘playlist’ menu on left main menu.
Happy trying.

Step 1. Registration.
Open you your browser and type: http://uploaded.to.


The registration process is very easy, just scroll down and type your email address.

That’s it, very easy.

Now, check your email. You will receive an email with activation link.
Click the link.

It will bring you to your browser with ‘approved page’. You will an account-ID and password.
Don’t forget this ID and password.

Now, you can try to log in. Enter you account-ID and password.

Done, you get your screen main page. It’s still blank, because you hasn’t upload anything yet.

First thing first, change your password and set alias name for your user-id. It will be easier to remember user your own user id instead of numbering. Don’t forget to change your password too.

Now, you can login your new alias.

Login process with alias name is success. You will see on the screen your new alias.

Uploaded.to gives you easier way to upload and manage your on-line storage with ftp access.

In this sample, I use Filezilla. If you don’t have it, you install it (from linux terminal) using command: $apt-get install filezilla or you use any ftp program that you have.

Host: ftp.uploaded.to
username: taufanlinux (your alias)
password: ********** (your password)
port: 21

Login via ftp is success.
On the left side is your local directory and on the right side is your uploaded.to storage. It’s still empty because you hasn’t uploaded anything yet.

Now, trying to upload a file. Just drag any file that you want to upload from left side window to right side window.
As you can see below, uploading is on process.

Uploading process is success. You will see your uploaded file in uploaded.to directory.

You can check on your uploaded.to website screen. Now, you have your file in the screen.
In every file you will have a download link.

Below, is the sample how to use your link file.

And below is the result.

What should I do if forget my password?
From login screen, click ‘Forgotten you password?‘ link, type your user-id (account), alias name or email address then click ‘Order password‘ button.

Your password is sent to your email address. Use this emailed password to login and replace it with your new password.

Open your email to get the temporary new password.

Go to upload.to website to change the password.

First download the skype installer.

Go to: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/.


If you have skype account already you can login directly, otherwise you have to register it first.

Click skype version for Ubuntu based on your processor. It’s available for 32bit and 64 bit.

I choose 32 bit because I use this processor in my laptop.

Downloading in process.

Downloading process is done.

Click the skype package file installer, press Right-mouse-button and choose ‘Open with GDebi Package Installer‘.

You will get installation menu. Click ‘Install Package‘ button to start the process.

Installation is in process.

Installation process is finished.

To run skype, select Application > Internet > Skype , in Ubuntu main menu.
Skype is running.

Although RARLAB distribute the source code and binaries (not under free software license), it’s only can extract not create the RAR archive. I think that’s the reason why ‘rar’ is not popular in Linux community.

To extract ‘rar’ file in Linux Ubuntu you need additional program.
Before you follow the instruction below, make sure you are connected to the internet.

First, open Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type $sudo apt-get install unrar.


After the installation finished, go to file that you want to extract.
Click the file, press ‘Right mouse button‘ and choose ‘Open with Archive Manager‘.

If the installation is correct then you can see the archive file content. To extract the file, just drag out the files outside the archive window.

The administrative job is done in Server side. For client side just set the machine to connect the DNS server.

Before we start, I assume that you are connected to Internet already. For, text editor, you can use any program that you are familiar with. In this sample, I use vim.

The installation is as easy as below:

Step 1. Install the bind9

Open Linux Terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal), type: sudo apt-get install bind9

Installation finished.


Step 2. Edit file /etc/bind/named.conf
Edit file /etc/bind/named.conf, at Linux Terminal type: $sudo vim /etc/bind/named.conf and add the codes below:

—————————————————-
include “/etc/bind/named.conf.options”;

zone “1.168.192.in-addr.arpa” {

type master;

file “/etc/bind/ip.db”;

};

zone “myserver.loc” {

type master;

file “/etc/bind/www.db”;

};
—————————————————-

Step 3. Edit file /etc/bind/ip.db

Edit file /etc/bind/named.conf, at Linux Terminal type: $sudo vim /etc/bind/ip.db and add the codes below:

—————————————————-
$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA ns.myserver.loc. root.myserver.loc. (

2006081201

8H

2H

1W

1D )
@ IN NS ns.myserver.loc.

@ IN MX 10 ns.myserver.loc.

1 IN PTR ns.myserver.loc.

1 IN PTR www.myserver.loc.

1 IN PTR mail.myserver.loc.
—————————————————-

Step 4. Edit file /etc/bind/www.db

Edit file /etc/bind/www.db, from Linux Terminal type: $sudo vim /etc/bind.www.db and add the codes below:

—————————————————-
$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA ns.myserver.loc. root.myserver.loc. (

2006081201

8H

2H

1W

1D )

@ IN NS ns.mymyserver.loc.

@ IN MX 10 ns.myserver.loc.

ns IN A 192.168.1.5

www IN A 192.168.1.5

mail IN A 192.168.1.5

—————————————————-

Step 5. Edit file /etc/resolv.conf

Edit file /etc/resolv.conf, from Linux Terminal type: $sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf and add the codes below:

—————————————————-
search myserver.loc

nameserver 192.168.1.5
—————————————————-

Step 6. Restart the DNS server

From Linux Terminal type: $sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

Step 7. Test the result.

From Linux Terminal type: $ping www.myserver.loc

You may find this error because you haven’t set your ip address yet. Just type: $sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

Test it again. Now, it works.

Now, test with ‘dig’ to get information about DNS Name server.

Most DNS administrators use ‘dig’ to troubleshoot DNS problems because it’s easy to use and very flexible.

From Linux terminal, type: $dig www.myserver.loc

Check, the dns mail server name.

Done.
After everything works, you can change the dns server name and ip address with your own need.

Happy trying.

The error message is a bit complicated as you see below.

_________________________________________

ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy

ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) – expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,

ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make

sure RFMON is enabled: run ‘airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>’

Sysfs injection support was not found either.

_________________________________________

Mean that if you want your airodump-ng run, you will need to try to fix the bolds problems above. Your problem may be one of it but in my case not even one of the error message.

Try to figure out the answer quite some times which is actually is very simple.

It’s only change the ipw3945 chip set mode from ‘Managed‘ to ‘monitor‘.

Step 1. Check your chip set mode

From the Terminal Screen, type ‘iwconfig wlan0‘. Your wireless card name (wlan0) may be different. It will depend on your wireless card chip set or your Ubuntu version. When I used Gutsy or lower version, my wireless card (ipw3945) is ‘eth1′ but when I upgrade to ‘Intrepid’, it become ‘wlan0′.

If you don’t remember the iwconfig command line, just type ‘iwconfig –help‘.

What we need now is the information in ‘interface mode’. We have to change the ‘mode’ from ‘Managed‘ to ‘monitor‘.

Step 2. Change the wireless card mode.

First turn of your wireless card. Type ‘sudo ifconfig wlan0 down‘.

Second, change your wireless card mode from ‘Managed’ to monitor. Type ‘sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor‘.

Third, turn on again your wireless card. Type ‘sudo ifconfig wlan0 up‘.

Fourth, check the wireless card status. Type ‘sudo iwconfig wlan0‘.

Now, my wireless card mode is ‘monitor‘ and you are ready to run ‘airdump-ng’ application again.

The trick is, using free online downloader. There few websites provide this service. One of it is, ‘Download youtube videos‘ and it’s my favorite. It’s very easy to use. The only problem is sometimes a pop up adult pages come out at the first time you open the page.

Step 1. Open youtube website and select a video that you want to download.
Select the web page address of the youtube video and copy it. To copy it’s very easy, just block the address link, press right mouse button and select ‘copy’.

Step 2. Open website ‘Download Youtube Videos’
Open another tab of your browser and type ‘http://downloadyoutubevideo.org”.

Step 3. Paste the youtube video link
After ‘download youtube videos‘ web page is opened, go to ‘youtube URL:‘ text box, paste the youtube link and then click ‘download‘ button.

Step 4. Download the file
If the process succeed, you will get ‘Download video link‘ followed by video file name. Put your mouse pointer on it, press right mouse button and select ‘Save Link As‘ menu.

If there is no problem with the download process, you will get a filename with ‘flv’ extension. If the process failed, only get ‘.html‘ page only. You can change the file name here. Click ‘Save’ button to start downloading process.

Downloading process.

This is my experience when I replaced my old Gutsy with Intrepid.

When I use Linux, I always divide my hard disc into 3 partitions, System, Swap and /Home. It’s a good idea because next time you want to replace your OS, you will not lost all your /Home data.

For your Virtual Box, you will still have most all of your old configuration and the image file. When I did this upgrade, I still have my old virtual box setup and my OS image inside it.

I said not all because the ‘saved state‘ you can’t get it back. You have to press the ‘Discard‘ before you can use it. But it’s ok, only take few seconds for an OS to reboot.

Below are the steps.
First, go the virtual box website and download the program.

Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type ‘sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-3.0_3.0.6-52128_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb‘ to start the installation.

This error occur because I still don’t have the ‘vboxusers’ in Intrepid group. Just add it (System > Administration > User and Groups).

Without a suitable kernel module you will not be able to start the Virtual Box, so just press ‘yes’ to start the compilation.

Compilation process is complete and installation process is done.

This message occur because I still have my old Virtual Box, OS Image and configuration in my /home directory.

Evaluation License.

Scroll down then click ‘I Agree’ button to continue the installation process.

Registration Form for Virtual Box.

If your registration is succeed you will the message like below:

Sometimes, the connection is drop and you will have this message.

Now you can run the Virtual box (Application > System Tools > Sun Virtual Box).
As you see, I have my old OS image with its configuration.I press ‘Start’ button to test.

The splash screen.

Booting process.

Done. I have my other OS running on the Virtual Box. The Internet connection is also run.

How to setup?
First, you have to setup the wvdial.conf file. You can use your Linux terminal or edit it with any text editor. In this article, I will use ‘vim’ because for me it’s very simple and easy to use.
Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) then type: ‘sudo vim /etc/wvdial.conf‘.

Then type the configuration below:
The Baud value will be depend on your mobile phone. Usually the phone will only GPRS speed will have around 230000.

Save the file and Quit (type :wq from vim).

Before you start to test the connection, make sure you check few things below:

-Set the access point in your mobile phone. (In Nokia 5320 express music, go to Settings>Phone Sett.>Connection>Packet data>set access point to ‘axis‘).

-Turn any available network interface. (Check using ifconfig. If the eth1 is on, turn off using command $sudo ifconfig eth0 down’).

-Connect the data cable from PC to your mobile phone. (Select USB mode to ‘PC Suite’).

Now, you can try the connection by typing ‘sudo wvdial’ command. You will have DNS ip address if you are succees.

Now, you can test the connection.

Step 1. Open the website.

All you have to do is open the incompetech website at www.incompetech.com.

Step 2. Select the document size, language, year and week starts then click ‘Get PDF‘ button.

Step 3. Save the calendar to your hard disk.

Step 4. Go the download directory and open the file.

It’s ready to print.

The good thing of FLV ready is you can copy and run clips from Youtube directly without convert anything. Unfortunately you can not slower or faster the video clip.

Another good thing from it for music is the ‘plug connection‘. You can use the standard head phone connector. The original head phone from Nokia does not provide a good bass sound so I change with good quality head phone when I want to hear music, which is much much better.

Below is the picture of the mobile phone. You can have it with Red or Blue color.

In these links below, I will share with you how it works with Ubuntu.

• Sending Files via Bluetooth with Gnomo-obex-send

• Transferring files via Cable Data

• Internet connection with Cable Data

• Internet connection with Bluetooth

Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) then type ‘lsusb‘ and press ‘Enter‘ to check if your USB bluetooth is recognized or not by Ubuntu.

After that, type ‘sudo hciconfig hci0 up‘ and press ‘Enter‘ to turn on your bluetooth device. You can check the result using ‘hciconfig hci0‘.

Step 2. Turn on your Nokia 5320 Express music bluetooth function.

Open Settings > Connect > Bluetooth then set the setting as below:

-Bluetooth to on.

-My phone’s visibility to ‘shown to all‘.

-My phone’s name to ‘Linux 5320‘ (you can use any name you like)

Step 3. Browse the available device from Ubuntu.

Type ‘sudo hcitool scan‘ and press ‘Enter‘ on your Linux Terminal. Block and copy the MAC address (00:21:FE:24:D6:99). This MAC address will be different in every device.

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

Step 4. Set configuration for rfcomm.conf file.

Type ‘sudo sdptool browse your_mac_address‘ and press ‘Enter‘. This command will browse the available service from your Nokia 5320 mobile.

The information that we need is the RFCOMM channel from ‘Dial-up Networking’ service. Just scroll down until you find the dial-up service. As you can see below, my channel is 5 from my ‘Dial-up Networking’ service. You will need it when you set up rfcomm.conf file.

Go to /etc/bluetooth directory by type ‘cd /etc/bluetooth/’ in your Linux Terminal.

Edit the ‘rfcomm.conf‘ file using your favorite text editor. In this sample, I use ‘vim‘.

Change the configuration and save the file. If you use ‘vim‘, press ‘ESC‘ button to release the ‘replace/insert‘ sign then type ‘:wq‘ to safe the file.

Below is my rfcomm.conf setting.

—————————————————————

#
# RFCOMM configuration file.

Step 5. Set configuration for ‘hcid.conf‘ file.

The main problem if pair between mobile phone and a PC/Laptop is it can’t reply back the authentication key code. For example, if you want to transfer a file between 2 mobile phone with bluetooth, first you have to pair the two mobiles. To pair between 2 mobiles, the sender have to set a key pass and the receiver must key in the pass before the 2 mobile can be paired.

You can’t do that in Ubuntu. That’s why to set ‘autoinit = yes’ is very important. Otherwise you will not be able to pair your Nokia 5320 express music.

The setting that I change is:

-autoinit = yes

-security = auto

-pairing = multi

-passkey = 1234 (up to you)

Below is my hcid.conf setting.

—————————————————————
#

# HCI daemon configuration file.

#

# HCId options

options {

# Automatically initialize new devices

autoinit yes;

# Security Manager mode

# none – Security manager disabled

# auto – Use local PIN for incoming connections

# user – Always ask user for a PIN

#

security auto;

# Pairing mode

# none – Pairing disabled

# multi – Allow pairing with already paired devices

# once – Pair once and deny successive attempts

pairing multi;

# Default PIN code for incoming connections

passkey “1234“;

}

# Default settings for HCI devices

device {

# Local device name

# %d – device id

# %h – host name

name “%h-%d”;

# Local device class
class 0×000100;

# Default packet type

#pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;

# Inquiry and Page scan

iscan enable; pscan enable;

discovto 0;

# Default link mode

# none – no specific policy

# accept – always accept incoming connections

# master – become master on incoming connections,

# deny role switch on outgoing connections

lm accept;

# Default link policy

# none – no specific policy

# rswitch – allow role switch

# hold – allow hold mode

# sniff – allow sniff mode

# park – allow park mode

lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;

}

Step 6. Pair the device

You have to do it from your Nokia 5320 express music device.

Open Menu > Settings > Connect > Bluetooth > Paired devices > Options > New paired device > More devices, then it will start searching.

After few seconds, in will show the ‘Devices found‘, choose your computer device in the list and press ‘select‘.

The it will ask ‘Passcode for toshiba-0 (your computer_name)‘, enter the key pass as you put in hcid.conf (pass key=1234) file and press ‘OK‘.

Then another question will occur:

Authorise device to make connections automatically? Select ‘yes‘.

Now, your Ubuntu will be ready to connect with your Nokia 5320.

Step 7. Try the connection

Type ‘sudo wvdialconf‘ in your Linux Terminal to set dial up configuration.

Uppss….. something wrong?

No, it’s ok.

As long as your mobile has been paired with your PC/laptop already then it will be no problem.

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

All you have to do is copy the content of wvdial.conf file that you use for ‘internet connection with cable data‘. See, my article about ‘Nokia Express Music 5320 with Linux Ubuntu – Internet Connection with CA-101 cable data‘

Below, is my the internet connection setting with CA-101 cable data.

Then change the setting like below:

[Dialer Defaults]

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Phone = *99***1#

ISDN = 0

Password = wap123

Username = wap

Init3 = ATZ,”10.1.89.130″,”telkomsel”

Modem = /dev/rfcomm0

Baud = 56700

Now, let’s try again.

If you still can’t connect to the internet, you use the same solution that I mentioned in ‘Nokia Express Music 5320 with Linux Ubuntu – Internet Connection with CA-101 cable data‘.

-Disconnect the connection.

-Turn off your eth0 protocol. (sudo ifconfig eth0 down)

-Re-connect again.

Step 1. Connect the cable data

Setting from Nokia mobile

• Plug in the cable data.

• Choose ‘PC Suite‘.

“Change USB connection mode?

Memory store may be corrupted if data transfer is ongoing”.

• Choose ‘yes‘.

Message at Ubuntu Linux.

Step 2. Configure the dial connection

After you connect the cable data, type ‘sudo wvdialconf‘ to configure the dial-up connection.Ubuntu will recognize the Nokia 5320 express music directly.

Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)

Then type ‘sudo vim /etc/wvdial.conf‘ and press ‘Enter’ to edit the setting connection.

(You can use any text editor that you are familiar to change to configuration. For example gedit).

Below is the setting connection result that I get after I ran the ‘wvdialconf‘ command.

You have to change the setting based on what ‘card‘ that you are using in your mobile. Because the setting will be depend on your ‘mobile card provider‘.

[Dialer Defaults]

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Modem Type = USB Modem

; Phone = <Target Phone Number>

ISDN = 0

; Password = <Your Password>

; Username = <Your Login Name>

Modem = /dev/ttyACM0

Baud = 460800

New configuration that I made based on my mobile card provider. I use ‘Halo card’ from Telkomsel. Press ‘INS’ button on your keyboard then type setting configuration.

[Dialer Defaults]

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Modem Type = USB Modem

Phone = *99***1#

ISDN = 0

Password = wap123

Username = wap

Init3 = ATZ,”10.1.89.130″,”telkomsel”

Modem = /dev/ttyACM0

Baud = 460800

Press ‘ESC‘ to release the ‘INS’ key and type ‘:wq‘ and press ‘Enter’ to write and quit.

Now let’s try the connection.

Type ‘sudo wvdial‘ and press ‘Enter’.

Seem that we are connected to the internet.

Open your browser and try open any webiste.

Problem

Why I still can’t open any website?

Sometimes this problem occur when we have another active connection protocol.

You can check by open another Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type ‘ifconfig‘.

As you seen below, I still have eth0 protocol active.

Turn it off for temporary. Type ‘sudo ifconfig eth0 down’.

Go back to your wvdial Terminal Screen and press ‘Ctrl-C‘ to stop the connection and re-connect again by type ‘sudo wvdial‘.

Open another Linux Terminal, type ‘dig www.google.com‘ and press ‘Enter’ to test the connection.

Done, now you can open your browser and surf with it.

From Nokia Express 5320 menu , select ‘Mass Storage‘.

In few seconds, it will be recognized as a USB storage. You can create any directories that you want.

I suggest to create based on category so it will easier for you to browse your files in the future.

Go to directory in your PC and select files that you want to copy.

Go back to your Nokia and move to the directory that you want to store your files and paste into it.

The copying process is done.

If you are done, make sure to do safe remove by select ‘Unmount Volume’ menu at ‘Nokia 5320 icon‘ before you plug-out the CA-101 cable data.

This question below will occur if you deleted some files in your Nokia 5320 Express Music. I suggest to choose ‘Empty Trash’ because it will remove the deleted files from your Nokia trash bin permanently.

Ubuntu will write your copied files to your Nokia. Do not disconnect the media during the writing process otherwise it will damage your storage device in your Nokia.

Now, you can unplug the cable.

Step 1. Configure your bluetooth device.

Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

- Type ‘sudo hciconfig -a hci0 up’ to turn on your bluetooth device.

- Type ‘hciconfig -a hci0‘ to check the USB status.

- Type ‘hcitool scan‘ to search the available device around. As you see at the screen below, I found a device named ‘Ida’. The information that we need is the id code.

- Copy the id code by select the code using your mouse cursor, press right mouse button then select ‘copy’ menu.

Step 2. Send the files.

Type the command with syntax below:
‘sudo gnome-obex-send –dest device_id location+filename.‘.
Now, you can start to send the files. Every id will be different for each Nokia handphone. Press ‘Enter’ to start the sending process.

Sending file is on progress.

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

You can’t fix it by log out from the system. You can only do 2 things, kill the Firefox process or restart your system. The second option will take a longer time, so let’s do the first one.

Open your Linux terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) then type: ps ax | grep firefox.

You will see the PID number on the left side. PID is Program Identifier. The number can be different.

Have to have stop the process by kill the PID one by one.

Now, start your Firefox again. If you see the screen below mean the problem is fixed.

What is bluesnarfer? It’s a tool to steal informations from a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection. The connection can be between mobile phones, PDAs or Laptops. You can access to a calendar, contact list, emails and text messages.

Who is the creator? It’s Davide Del Vecchio (dante_at_alighieri.org) together with Roberto “boos” Martelloni. The they developed a Linux pof to bluesnarf (read/write/search/perform arbitrary command..). The tool was attached to an article (just Italian) published on the e-zine BFi.

For your information, Bluesnarfing (stealing information with bluesnarfer) is illegal in many countries. Try it with your own risk.

To install bluesnarfer you need two files:

• bluesnarfer.tar.gz (program), available at www.alighieri.org/project.html

• bluez-libs-3.36.tar.gz (library), available at www.bluez.org/download/
  

Save the file to your hard disk.

In this sample, I will install the bluesnarfer in /opt directory. So, I create a new directory for it.

Copy the two files in it. The download directory will be based on your Browser default.

Go to /opt directory. First, you have to install the ‘library file’ otherwise you will get errors.

Extraction complete.

Check the result.

Before you install the library, you have to change your status to ‘root’. Then install the library.

Installation complete.

Go to bluesnarfer program directory and install the program.

Done. Now, you have a new application ‘bluesnarfer’ in ‘bluesnarfer program’ directory and it’s ready to use.

Installation

Before you start the installation process, make sure that you are connected to the internet.

Open your Ubuntu Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), and type ‘sudo apt-get install hddtemp‘.

To check the supported harddisks, type: ‘hddtemp -b’.

To check your hard disk temperature, type ‘sudo hddtemp /dev/sda‘.
