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.

AXIS is one many GSM providers available in Indonesia. I will show you how to setup internet connection with Axis and Nokia 5320 express music.

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.

Free online calendar from Incompetech is very useful kit if you want to create calendars but you don’t have the program in your PC. But of course you must be connected to the internet. The creating methods are very easy. You don’t have to be an expert to create calendars with this tool.

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.

When I choose to buy this mobile phone, my main concerns are the 3G, Bluetooth, Music and Camera features. But, Nokia Express Music 5320 comes with some other features like Radio, Recorder, Video, 2 Camera (front & back), Nokia Map, GPS data (need external GPS), Message Reader, Real Player, Quick Office, Adobe Reader, N-gage games, FLV (flash video) ready and few other more.

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

Step 1. Activate your USB 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.
#
rfcomm0 {

# Automatically bind the device at startup

bind yes;

# Bluetooth address of the device

device 00:21:FE:24:D6:99;

# RFCOMM channel for the connection

channel 5;

# Description of the connection

comment “Nokia Linux 5320 Express Music“;

}
—————————————————————

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.

In this article, I will show you how to connect to the internet with Nokia 5320 express and CA-101 cable data.

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.

Transfer files with Nokia Express Music 5320 is very easy. Just connect the CA-101 to your Nokia 5320 then plug into your Ubuntu.

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.

Sending files via bluetooth from your PC to Nokia Express is not difficult using gnome-obex-send. As long as your bluetooth device is recognized by Ubuntu then it can be done. I use regular cheap USB bluetooth. The brand is ‘Le Taec’, made in Taiwan.
Before we start, don’t forget to turn on your Nokia Bluetooth.

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.

Below is the common error that I always have when I force my Firefox to close.

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.

To start the program, from Applications > Sound & Video select Banshee Music Player.

Splash screen.

It’s first installation screen. Banshee will collect all music and videos in your hard disk.

Collecting data.

Collecting finish.

Select any song to play.

Another feature that I like from Virtual Box is ‘Full screen Mode‘. You can run another Operating System in Virtual Box as if that it is a real Operating system.
If it doesn’t work with your Virtual Box, probably you may have a problem with your display setting or card driver.

To change from ‘Normal Mode’ to ‘Full screen Mode’ in Virtual Box is very easy.
From main menu in Virtual Box, select File > Full Screen Mode.

You will have a reminding message before you switch to ‘Full screen Mode’. You can go back to ‘Normal Mode’ at any time by pressing HOST + F.

HOST button in Virtual Box is RIGHT CTRL button.

Now, I’m in ‘Full Mode’ screen. Seem like I run XP in my laptop. Cool, right?

After I press combination Host + F, now I go back to ‘Normal Mode’.

Why do I need Internet Explorer in Linux meanwhile I have a more power full and faster browser like Firefox?

The main reason are some sites only can be accessed using Internet Explorer, for examples Bank websites, and, if you are a web designer and you need to test your sites.

IE4Linux is only on run on Windows. So, if you want to run on Linux, you need a simulator like Wine. IE4Linux is free open source. The installation is not difficult.

Step 1. Download the source code.

Open your browser and open www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page. Then click ‘Download’ button at the top right menu.

In this sample, I will show you how to install IE4linux from the source code.As you can see on the screen below, there is a guidance on how to download the source code.

Make sure that you have an internet connection already. Now, open your Linux terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type
sudo wget http://tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux.latest.tar.gz.
Wait until the downloading process is done.

Step 2. Installation

Before you can install, you have extract the file first.

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo tar xvzf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz

Go to ies4linux directory.

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ cd ies4linux-2.99.0.1

Run the installation program.

taufanlubis@toshiba:~/ies4linux-2.99.0.1$ sudo ./ies4linux

The warning below occurs because I installed the program using ’sudo’ command which is not necessary. You don’t have to be a ‘root’.

So, I do it again but now as a normal user.
taufanlubis@toshiba:~/ies4linux-2.99.0.1$ ./ies4linux

Installation is running. There are few options that you have to choose then click ‘OK’ button.

Installation process is done. Click ‘Close’ button to close it.

Now you can try to access web sites that only run with Internet Explorer.

Before I start, I assume that you have installed K3b in your system and it recognizes your DVD writer. And if you don’t, you can read my articles about how to install the K3b in here.

Step 1. Click New Project

Writing Data to a DVD (DVD burning) is not difficult with K3b. Enter your empty write-able DVD disc into your DVD Writer. From the K3b main menu, just click ‘New Data DVD Project‘.

A new project screen will show up.
On the top left are directories in your computer and on the right is the directory content.
On the below left screen is the project directory. You can change it with another name.
And on the below right is the empty directory. This is the place where you will put all your files. You can rename ‘K3b data project’ to another name. In this sample, I changed it to ‘PSP Games’.

Step 2. Select and paste the files into project directory.

Now, select any directories or files that you want to copy. I will copy all my data from ‘Temp’ directory. I just select the files and drag it into ‘PSP Games’ directory content (on the right below).

The status bar with a green color shows the amount of files that you will write into your DVD.

If you use a double layer DVD writer, the default size is 8GB. The problem is, It will not recognizes your DVD capacity.

In this sample I use start DVD disc, so it’s only 4.7GB something. But, it still recognized as 8GB capacity. So, as long as you know your DVD capacity then it will be no problem. Otherwise it will produce an error like in here.

To start burning process, just click ‘Burn’ button above ‘PSP Games’ directory.

This is the ‘Data Project’ screen, just use the default and click ‘Burn’ button to start the burning process.

Burning process.

Burning process is done. Click ‘Close’ button to to finish the current project.

If you use K3b for the first time, you will get confuse this error. You think that you have put your write able DVD disc inside your DVD writer but why K3b still says that there is no disc inside.

This error occurs when you try to burn a DVD with more data that it can hold. For example, if you see on the screen below, I try to burn 7.3 GB in a standard write-able DVD disc with at 4.7 GB capacity. It mentioned that I still have 630.8 MB free space. The color bar is still green.

Seem that everything is alright, but it is not. K3b doesn’t recognize your DVD capacity. If you use a standard DVD writer then it will be no problem because the default size is 4.7 GB.

But, if you use a Double Layer DVD writer then it will be a problem because the default capacity is 8 GB. So, whether you put a standard DVD disc or a Double Layer DVD disc, K3b will always recognize as 8 GB capacity. As long as you know your DVD disc capacity then it will be no problem.

Before I start, I assume that you have installed K3b in your system and it recognizes your CD/DVD writer. And if you don’t, you can read my articles about how to install K3b in here.

Step 1. Click New Project

Enter your empty write-able CD disc into your CD Writer or CD/DVD Writer. Writing Data to a CD (CD burning) is not difficult with K3b. From the main menu, just click ‘New Data CD Project‘.

A new project screen will show up.
On the top left are directories in your computer and on the right is the directory content.
On the below left screen is the project directory. You can change it with another name.
And on the below right is the empty directory. This is the place where you will put all your files.

Step 2. Select and paste the files into project directory.

Now, select any directories or files that you want to copy. In this sample, I will copy all my data from ‘Karate’ directory. I just select the files and drag it into ‘K3b data project’ directory (on the right below).

The status bar with a green color shows the amount of files that you will write into your CD. The 684.6 MB is total files that you will copy, 702 MB is the maximum amount and 17.4MB is the free space that can be used.

To start burning process, just click ‘Burn’ button above ‘K3b data project’ directory.

This is the ‘Data Project’ screen.I recommend to use 12x speed. I think, burning CD with a high speed will affect to your burning quality.

If you want to change the CD volume, click ‘Filesystem’ TAB and change the volume name.To start burning process click ‘Burn’ button.

K3b will start the burning process.

Burning process is on going.

Burning process is done. Click ‘Close’ button to finish the current project.

K3B is a burning tool designed for KDE but you still can run it on Gnome. The menu is simple even for a new user. You will know how to use it in a minute. There are so many things that you can do with K3b.

You can:

• Copy CD or DVD.

• Burn CD or DVD ISO image.

• Rip audio CD

• Rip Video DVD

• Rip Video CD

• Erase CD-RW

• Format DVD RW

I think K3B is one of the best CD and DVD burning tools in Linux.

Installation

From Ubuntu Terminal screen (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), type:

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo apt-get install k3b

Running the program.

From Ubuntu desktop, click Applications > Sound & Video then select K3b.

Below is the main screen of K3b. On the top left is your directories and on top right is your directories content.

The six most use features for burning are available on the main screen.

If you need more features, just click on the ‘Further actions‘ button.

Help program

If you want to dig more details about K3b, you can read from the Handbook or go to its online help site.

What is Redtube? RedTube is the same like YouTube if you are familiar with it. The different is the content. The only videos that available in RedTube are for adult consumption.

In a computer world, I prefer the question ‘How?’ not ‘Why?’.

So, the question to me is “How I can do it?” not “Why I have to do this?”. That’s why there are so many solutions in the underground world.

The method to download RedTube movies is very simple. First, you have to find out the location of the FLV (Flash Video) files from RedTube then download it using your Download Manager. To find the FLV files, you need a tool. And as far as I know there is no special tools designed to download RedTube videos.

But, there is an online tool that you can use to find the FLV files from the RedTube. It’s ‘Download Red Tube Videos”. The web page address is www.downloadredtubevideos.com.

For Download Manager, I use “Gwget Download Manager”.

Step 1. Open www.downloadredtubevideos.com web site.

Step 2. Find RedTube FLV link.

Open www.redtube.com web site and choose any video that you want to download.

Sorry, I can’t post the page here. Then copy the video link, paste it in the Text Box (see sample below) then click ‘Get Video’ button.

Step 3. Copy the FLV video link.

After few seconds, you will see a new link ‘Click Here to download Videos!‘.

Copy the link.

Step 4. Download the FLV videos.

Open your Download Manager. If you use Gwget Download Manager, click ‘New’ button’. The link will be automatically copied to Gwget. Then click ‘OK’ button to proceed the process. You can repeat the steps to download the other FLV files.

Happy trying.

WordPress is one of the most well known free CMS for Blog available in the internet. If you want to use it instantly and free, you can go to www.wordpress.com. Just register and use it. It’s very easy. The problem is, you can’t use your own “themes”, do CSS modification or add “google adds” because it’s not allowed.

As an alternative, WordPress gives a free CMS which can be modified to your need. It’s available to be downloaded at http://wordpress.org.

In this article, I will show you how to install and run WordPress on XAMPP.

Before we start, I assume that you have installed XAMPP in your system and familiar with Linux Terminal.

Step 1. Download WordPress CMS.

Open your web browser and type “http://wordpress.org” in the URL box to open WordPress.org website. Then click “Download WordPress 2.5.1”. The version may be different if the new version is release.

Save to your download directory.

Step 2. Installation
Copy the WordPress CMS file from your download directory to /opt/lampp/htdocs/.

Extract the WordPress Installation file.

If the extraction is success you will have a new ‘wordpress’ directory.

Start your XAMPP server.

Open your web browser and type “localhost/wordpress” to run the installation setup.

WordPress need a wp-config.php file before it can start the installation process. It’s a normal error. Just ignore it and click ‘Create a Configuration file‘.

This error below occurs when you don’t have a ‘write‘ permission to your WordPress directory. So, we have to set the permission first before we can continue the installation process.

Go back to your Linux Terminal.

To change the permission for WordPress directory, goto “/opt/lampp/htdocs/” using ‘cd‘ command and use ‘chmod og+w‘ command to give a write permission to the WordPress directory.

Go back to your web browser and click ‘previous’ button to go back to the first installation page. Now, click again the ‘Create a Configuration File‘ button.

Welcome to WordPress installation setup. Click ‘Let’s go’ button to continue.

Enter your Database name, User Name and Password. The database Host you don’t need to change. Most all web server use this default. Table prefix you need to change also.

Click ‘Submit’ button to continue.

If you got the same error like below is OK. We can fix it. This error occurs because WordPress installation can not create the database file.

Open new tab in your browser, type ‘localhost’ and press ‘Enter’. You will have a XAMPP main screen. Click ‘phpMyAdmin’ button to open ‘phpMyAdmin’ screen.

Click your WordPress ‘database name‘ at ‘database’ text box, type your database name and click ‘Create’ button.

You have the WordPress database already.

Close the ‘phpMyAdmin’ and ‘XAMPP’ screen, go back to your “WordPress’ screen and click ‘Previous’ button at your browser to go back to the screen below.

Click ‘Submit’ button to continue.

Now, the WordPress installation can connect to the database that you have created with phpMyAdmin.

Click ‘Run the install’ button to continue the installation process.

Enter your Blog Title and your Email then click ‘Install WordPress’ button.

Write down your Username and Password otherwise will not be able to access the WordPress ‘administrator’ page later on. The password is randomly created by WordPress installation. So, my one will be different with yours. Then click ‘Log in’ button to continue.

The screen below is your first “Log in” to your WordPress. Enter the Username and Password that you wrote down before and click ‘Log in’ button.

This is the Administrator screen of WordPress. If you see on the screen, there 3 buttons on the top right, ‘Settings, Plugins and Users’. Click ‘Users’ button.

You will have a ‘Manage Users’ screen. Click ‘Your Profiles‘ button.

This is ‘Your Profile and Personal Options’ screen.

Scroll down the screen to the bottom until you see ‘New Password’ text box. Fill it with your new password and re-type the password at the second text box then click ‘Update Profile’ to save it.

Then click ‘Visit Site’ to see your page.
Congratulation, you have successfully installed WordPress in your system.

Mambo is one of the most famous free CMS available in the internet. Actually, Mambo were developed by members of team who created Joomla before.

Before we start, I assume that you have installed XAMPP in your system and familiar with Linux Terminal.

Step 1. Goto Mambo website.

Open your web browser and type “http://mambo-foundation.org” in the URL box to open Mambo website.

Then click “Download Mambo CMS”.

Step 2. Download the source file.

Select the latest version with .tar format extension. The latest version available that I can download when I write this article is MamboV4.6.2.tar.gz. Click the link to save the file to your ‘download directory’.

Step 3. Create Mambo directory at XAMPP web server

Before we extract the Mambo file we have to prepare the directory for it. Since we use XAMPP in this sample, the working directory will be at “/opt/lampp/htdocs”.

Now, open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

Type “sudo mkdir /opt/lampp/htdocs/mambo” to create a directory for mambo.

Type “cd /opt/lampp/htdcos/” and type “ls -l” to check the result.

We have mambo directory already. Type ‘cd‘ to go back to your home directory.

Step 4. Copy mambo source file

The download directory can be different. It depends to your browser setting. I set my download directory to ‘mydata/new_download‘. So, you can go to your download directory using ‘cd’ command.

Since I use ‘mydata/new_download’ for my download directory, so I type “cd mydata/new_download”.

Check the file with “ls -l” command followed by the mambo file name.

Copy the mambo file to mambo directory that we have created before using ‘cp‘ command (sudo cp MamboV4.6.2.tar.gz /opt/lampp/htdocs/mambo/).

Step 5. Extract Mambo source file

Go to mambo directory using ‘cd‘ command (cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/mambo).
Check the file (ls -l MamboV4.6.2.tar.gz).
Extract the file (sudo tar xvzf MamboV4.6.2.tar.gz).

The process is done.

Step 6. Install Mambo from web browser

Before we start to install the Mambo, first we have to run XAMPP server first.
Go back to your XAMPP server directory (/opt/lampp) and type “sudo ./lampp start” to start the apache and MySQL server.

Now, you can run your browser and type “http://localhost/mambo”.

Mambo Installation – Precheck

You will have mambo installation screen. Type ‘Next‘ button on top right to continue.

Mambo Installation – License

Click check box at “I understand that this software is released under the GNU/GPL License” and click ‘Next‘.

Mambo Installation – Database Configuration

Enter the data needed:

• Hostname: localhost

• MySQL User Name: root

• MySQL password: enter_your_password

• Verify MySQL password: re_enter_your_password

• MySQL database name: put any name (I used db_mambo).

• MySQL Table prefix: don’t change it.

Check box “Install Sample Data”: don’t change it if you are new to mambo.

Then click ‘Next’ button to continue.

Just click ‘OK’.

Mambo Installation – Your site name

Enter your site name and click ‘Next‘ button.

Mambo Installation – Email and admin password

Don’t change the URL and path.
Just enter your email address and your admin password. Don’t forget this password, otherwise next time you can’t access the admin menu.

Mambo Installation – Configuration File

Don’t forget!! Your user name is ‘admin’ and your password is “12345678 (depend on what you type)”.
Mambo can not create its configuration file the the directory is not writeable.
It’s no problem, we can create it manually.

Just block the configuration codes, click your right mouse button then select copy.

Go back to your Linux Terminal, go mambo directory and type “sudo gedit configuration.php” to create the configuration file using “gedit” wordprocessor.

Paste the configuration file that we copied before.

Name the file with “configuration.php” and save it.

Go back to your Mambo Installation process in your browser and fill the details. Then click ‘Proceed’ button after you are done.

Now, you we are almost done. But, there is another last job to do, remove the installation directory for security reason. Otherwise, can go in and change your admin password.

Go back to your Linux Terminal.
Go to ‘mambo directory’ and check the installation directory.
Remove the installation directory using ‘rm’ command (sudo rm -rf installation/).

Now, go back to your browser and refresh button.
Click ‘Administrator’ (Under Other Menu) button to check administrator function.

Enter the user name and password. Remember, the user name is ‘admin’.
Then click ‘Login’ button to proceed.

Welcome to mambo administration screen.
Congratulation!!! You have mambo in your system.

There are hundreds or may be thousands game titles for Sony PSP available to be downloaded from the internet. Is it illegal? It’s up to you. I only want to show you that you can do it. Sony PSP only can play with the extension .cso or .iso. You will find also that there are psp games files compressed in rar format. It’s no problem. Just extract it.

My favorite site for Sony PSP games is www.pspiso.com. I think it’s one of the most complete web site for Sony PSP. Now, open your browser and type the website address.

Then click ‘PSP Games‘.

You will find a lots of link where each link consists of a lot of games.
For this sample, I clicked ‘Matt260’s ………………”.

Now, I choose ‘Need for speed: ProStreet‘ to download. The file is compressed is RAR format, game format is in cso and the file size is 291.79MB.

To start downloading process, just click ‘Download‘.


When you click ‘download’, you will be forwarded to a ‘online storage’ web site. It’s can be Megaupload, rapidshare etc. Enter the code: XJV (every time will be different).

If you are not a member then you have to wait for 40 to 60 seconds until the download button is show up.

Then click ‘Free Download” to start the downloading process directly.

If have a Download Manager, do right click on the ‘Free Download‘ button and select ‘Copy Link Location‘.

Open your Download Manager and paste the link. If you don’t have, you can find it here.

The downloading process will start in seconds.
But you only can do one by one. I’ve tried with few games together, it didn’t work. If you want to know how to upload these games to your Sony PSP device, you can find it
here.

What is Joomla? Joomla is one of the most powerfull free content management system available in the internet. It’s written with PHP programming. Since it use PHP, you need apache server to run it. In this article, I will show you how to install Joomla with XAMPP in Linux. If you are familiar with Linux, the installation process is not difficult.

Note:
I assume that you have installed XAMPP in your system. If not, you have to install XAMPP first (read here), otherwise you will not be able to follow all the instructions below.

Step 1. Downloading
Go to Joomla website at http://www.joomla.org and click the latest version 1.5.3.

Save it your hard disk.

Go to ‘/opt/lampp/htdocs’ directory and create a new directory named ‘joomla’.

Go to the directory where you downloaded your Joomla file. I use ‘/mydata/new_download‘ as my download directory, so I move to this directory.

Then copy ‘Joomla_1.5.3-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz‘ file to ‘/opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla‘.

Go to ‘/opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla‘ directory and check the joomla file.
Extract the file using ‘sudo tar xvzf‘ command.

The extraction process is done.

Delete Joomla_1.5.3-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz because you don’t need it.

Run your XAMPP server, open your browser and type ‘localhost/joomla‘. Joomla starts the installation process automatically (http://localhost/joomla/installation/index.php).

Step 1. Language
Select your Language and click ‘Next’ button.

Step 2. Pre-Installation Check

Joomla then checks for “Pre-installation Check”.
When you see ‘configuration.php Writeable = No‘. It’s permission setting only, no problem. We can create it later manually.
Just click ‘Next’ button to continue.

Step 3. License
Click ‘Next’ button also at ‘License’ screen.

Step 4. Database
Now, this is the most important thing. The database setup can be different. If you are only install in your personal web server it will be no problem. You can put any ‘user name‘ and ‘database name‘ with what you want. But, if you will put in a commercial or free web server, they will provide you for the ‘user name’ and ‘database name’.

Database Type: mysql (default)

Host Name: localhost (default)

User Name: root (default)

Password: ***** (put your password here)

Database Name: db_joomla (put your database name here)

Step 5. FTP Configuration
If you don’t use FTP server just click ‘Next’ button.

Step 6. Configuration
Put your Site Name: ‘My book collections’ (This is your web page title).
Enter Your Email: ‘taufanlubis@indosat.net.id‘ (This your email address).
Enter Admin Password: ******* (This is your admin password next time change your Joomla setting).
Confirm Admin Password: *******

Install Default Sample Data.
If you are a beginner, just use the default database setup.

Step 7. Finish
It’s almost done. We just have to create ‘configuration.php‘ file manually.

First, you have to select all codes below, click right mouse button and select ‘Copy’.

Goto your Terminal Linux, and run gedit.It’s a very simple graphical word processor. Type ‘sudo gedit /opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla/configuration.php‘.

Enter your password.

Click ‘Edit > Paste‘ to paste the configuration content. Save it and close the gedit program.

After we create the configuration.php, click ‘Next’ button to continue.

You have finished all the steps. Actually, you can ignore the message below and start to use your Joomla by click ‘Click here when the directory has been removed‘.

But, it’s not save. Because, if someone can access your installation directory, he will be able to re-setup your Joomla. So, we have to delete it immediately.

To delete the installation directory, you have to open your Linux Terminal.

Go to ‘/opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla‘ directory and delete it using ‘sudo rm -rf installation/‘ command.

Go back to your Joomla Installation screen.
Now you can click ‘Click here when the directory has been removed‘ link.
Congratulation. You’ve installed Joomla by your self.

To change the setting, click ‘Administrator’ link on ‘Resources’ group on the left screen.

Enter your User name and Password and click ‘Login’ button.

Welcome to Joomla Administrator Screen.

The basic security setting for xampp is not secured with password. You have to change the setting if you want to increase your xampp security access.

To check your security setting, from XAMPP main screen, click ‘Security’. Below is the default for first installation security setting.

To change to security setting, you have to do it through Linux command line. Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

Goto to ‘/opt/lampp‘ directory.

Step 1. Create XAMPP password.

In Linux Terminal, type “sudo ./lampp security”.

• Type ‘y’ and press ENTER.

• Enter your first password

• Enter your second password

Note: your userid is ‘lampp‘.

Step 2. Turn off MYSQL access via network.

• Type ‘y’ and press ENTER.

Step 3. Create phpMyAdmin password

• Type ‘y’ and press ENTER.

• Enter your first password

• Enter your second password

Step 4. Create MYSQL root password

• Type ‘y’ and press ENTER.

• Enter your first password

• Enter your second password

Note: Don’t forget it or you will can not access your Mysql server as root anymore.

Step 5. Change FTP password

• Type ‘y’ and press ENTER.

• Enter your first password

• Enter your second password

Go back to your Xampp main screen.

Now, xampp will ask for password. Enter ‘lampp’ for User Name and enter your security password.

From XAMPP main screen, click the ‘Security’ link again.

Now, your xampp is secured with password and can not be accessed from network.

If you are looking for Web Server or FTP server and you don’t to have a complicated process, xampp can be considered as your choice.

The most thing I like from XAMPP is separate setup with the Linux system and it’s easy to use. So, next time I don’t need it, I just remove its directory, and that’s it. I don’t need to do uninstall process.

XAMPP has been tested to work on SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian, mean it works with Ubuntu.

There are 4 steps to do before you can run XAMPP on Linux.

Step 1. Downloading

First, you have to download the program from http://apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.

Click “XAMPP for Linux” to open “XAMPP for Linux” web page.

Click “Step 1: Download”.

Select “XAMPP Linux 1.6.6” to download xampp-linux-1.6.6.tar.gz. It’s the source code program. We have to compile before it can run. The version number that you see below can be different at the time you go to the Xampp website, because there it may has a new update or version.

Save to your disk.

Step 2. Installing

After downloading process complete, go to your download directory. In my laptop, I save on mydata/new_download/ directory. The directory can be different. It depends on your download directory default.

Now, open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and go to your “download directory” using ‘cd‘ command following with your directory name. Check the xamp-linux-1.6.2.tar.gz file using ‘ls -l‘ command.

Copy the xampp-linux.1.6.2.tar.gz file to ‘/opt‘ directory.

Extract the xampp-linux.1.6.2.tar.gz file.
