FlashPlayer on 64-bit Slackware-based distros

As everyone knows, installing Flash Player on 64-bit Linux distribuion isn't just dead easy as the browser-based installer mostly won't work, with Slackware-based ones: more pain.

Although it could be DAMN simple:
1. Get Square, 64-bit release for libflashplayer
1.5. Extract the archive, you'll get libflashplayer.so
2. Copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
3. Make a copy also in ~/.mozilla/plugins, a symbolic link will do


Hope it works!

Salix 64-bit

I've recently had Zenwalk replaced on my laptop, I'm now employing Salix OS 64-bit. The reason behind the migration, despite the bleeding new version of Zenwalk 7.0, I'm longing for 64-bit operating system and want to keep the Slackware flavor in it, there comes Salix.

I simply mix up packages from Salix64 (13.1.2)'s installation with ones from Slackware64 13.1. Having Salix as the base is nice, it's slimmer than standard Zenwalk or Slackware (by default).

Eh, gotta compile the kernel--the preinstalled kernel is quite old: 2.6.33.4. It's the same version I had with Zenwalk for over almost a year. :)

Canon MP250 on LinuxMint 10 (Julia)

Yeah, if you think printing in Linux (and scanning) sucks, it isn't true in my case--at least to some extent. I managed to install Canon MP250 (multi-function printer/scanner) in Linux Mint-equipped box in just few minutes.

First download the available driver here (Canon Australia, I can't find it in the Indonesian one). IJprinterdriver is the printing driver, ScanGear is bundled driver and application for the scanner.

I pick the deb packages as I don't really need to care about compiling the source myself. deb -i approach won't work. I have to extract the those two archives, and run the install.sh within the extracted archive.

And it works just fine! :)

I still have to figure out how to enable Windows client installing Windows-version driver via shared printer over samba, headache this time.

March

It's nearing to the end of month, and I just have posted a single post in this blog. Screw it! (and it's barely valuable)

I've just fixed few things:
- the links for Virtual Orchestra Studio
- adding "Favorites" widget--it's just like Internet in early 90s, no? (although it's merely several entries)
- realizing this's been going nowhere, I have to be more serious about this.

Yeah, end of March!
(and I realize my English is getting worse)

せかいにさよなら(sekai ni sayounara)

From a visual novel, cometh a revelation--gakt! It's Yume Miru Kusuri.

The song is sung by Marica, FunczionSOUNDS do the music.
Marica: Sekai ni Sayounara
FunczionSOUNDS: Sekai ni Sayounara (instrumental)

Fetch the lyrics from here.

Zenwalk 7.0, I'm ready for upgrade!

Zenwalk 7.0 RC1 is ready!

Hex Editor

This afternoon, I was looking forward editing save file from an old visual novel game (The Maids' Story). At that very moment I realized there's no hex editor installed on my Zenbox, gwah!

After some brief search, my choice come upon jeex, it employs merely GTK+, so great addition to Geany. :))

If you won't mind to have some GNOME libraries, ghex is surely a better choice.

XDG user directory

I recently deleted all the visible folders on my home directory subconsciously, and files start appearing on my desktop which I like it clean (so I can enjoy my wallpaper rather being obstructed with icons).

The file need to be configured is ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, if it's missing you can make one with invoking xdg-user-dirs-update. Yep, simple!

Thanks to superchango@bbs.arclinux for saving me from reading the XDG docs.

[Bomb.tv] Channel B

Despite this edition of photobooks is rather obsolete already (it's publised from 2005 to 2008), I just like them! Casual-daily clothing is literally better than those piece of crap bikinis (at least, to me).

Lately, I've been hating bikini photoshoots for certain reasons I don't really understand myself--it just feels so wrong.

Anyway, see some google hit on "channel b" bomb.tv

Tata Young: I Believe

This song is quite old (2004) actually, but Tata Young's always been on of my favorites.

Tata Young: I Believe, the lyrics is here.

I believe, I believe in love
and like the stars above,
they shine, let it shine over me
Set me free, I believe in you
and that our love is true
Oh, I believe, I believe

Gravure, FAIL!

I simply hate when beauty is fake. See, I hate lense-less glasses (so where's the glass?!) and breast-padded breast. Even gravure should emphasize on natural beauty!


You notice the lense-less glasses? Hot, yes? Neutral glasses will do better I suppose.


IMHO, making A-cup to B-cup won't help you to look sexier. Just show what you've got--that's the best!
IMHO, the best is having D-cup by nature :D

By the way, the model is Emi Ito, those pictures are taken from Intelligent Sexy [Sabra.net]

Counting to 364

I've (just) started playing this game after watching fourth episode of Dragon Zakura.

The rules is pretty simple, sum the card you draw from the deck until it hits 364.
See, 1(ace) +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11(J))+12(Q) + 13(K) = 91
91 * 4 = 364. Thus it yields 364 if you sum all the cards' value.
The one who counts to 364 first wins, and you may restrart your count from the first card anytime.

It' more fun to play along with friend, and likely to miss the count :D
By the way, my personal record (just today) is 2 mins 49 secs.

I'm here-by your side

They're just nice to listen to, Soulja and Thelma Aoyama are a great duo I'd say.

Koko ni Iru yo , the first song (I assume), is the masculine one. There's mostly Soulja rap with Thelma's part on the refrain stanzas. Meanwhile, Soba ni Iru ne, the reply song, is the feminine one. The only mostly singing is Thelma, while Soulja's part is merely around 4 lines per stanza :D

Yep, enjoy!

Also, fetch the lyrics here:
Koko ni Iru yo @kiwimusume
Soba ni Iru ne @kiwimusume

Dualhead on Linux? simple

If you think getting dual head display in Linux is kind of pain--you are mistaken, Xrandr has all the thing to get done, as simple as your igfxtray in your Windows boxes.

It's pretty simple, first check wheter the secondary display is activated. My laptop is Acer 4720z and my LCD screen is Acer AL1716WM.

$xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 800, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA connected 1280x800+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 367mm x 229mm
1440x900 59.9 + 75.0 59.9
1280x800 74.9*
1152x864 75.0
1280x720 60.0
1024x768 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 59.9
720x400 70.1
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm

1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

The VGA part is my monitor, and the LVDS is the laptop's display.

Then invoke the magic wand!
$xrandr --output LVDS --auto --left-of VGA

Whalla! You get the double head.

Indonesian Models

When I was lurking around in an Indonesian forum, I come across to this site.

It's claimed to include Indonesian (girls) models only. Isn't that great?
I don't see such copyright on the photos--so I'd just grab them all :D yet I am missing some number.

Mai Kuraki: Boyfriend

Mai Kuraki (ft Michael Africk): Boyfriend, you can fetch the lyrics from this Frech fan site.

I like the "you're about to barely be my [boy/girl]friend" lines so much (and how it's repeated so many times) :D

Personal ongoing projects

Sure I hadn't posted anything for a while. I've been so busy with school, and some just-for-fun projects.

I am currently:
- working on an old NES clone, just to make sure it will spring back to life again,
- trying to get GRUB 1.98 working, unifying Windows XP, OpenBSD, Slackware, openSUSE, and LinuxMint in a box,
- coding some parser-lexer for a small DBMS for my Database class,
- downloading AVgirl and MangaThat!. :D

I'll post the updates once one of them's done.

Slack Box Down

My Slackware box's recently gone down. :(

I don't really understand how it could happen. I found SCIM was installed (I uninstalled in the first place) this morning and everthing's crumbling down.

Gotta (re-)install!

TestDisk

Just recommending: TestDisk is the best free yet reliable recovery tool you can get.

It just saved my from total despair recently. :)

RockBox on EZX

It was an old port of Rockbox to EZX (A780/i, E680/i/g) by blackhawk. I just make the launcher on my own.

The installation is pretty simple, just tap the *.mtf file and install the *.mpkg (I assume you have MPKG-enabled ezxsetup already)
rockbox.mtf
launcher.mpkg
