Resolved

Resolved is kinda subjective word. But anyway, that’s not my point. What I want to stress here is how the resolving progress in par along time. There are people who believe that some problem will be resolved, some other don’t. Some believe that there’s only one process of resolving, some others are more open to alternatives.

I, myself, believe that every problem will be resolved in its own way. Generally never match my imagination of resolving. Generally never match as well to others’ imagination of resolving. To quote John in Constantine: God always works in mysterious way. Some like it, some don’t.

Indeed, even df shows that there actually some spare left (substracts Capacity with Used), I was running out space. What quite weird is df shows 0% space availability, eventhough “1-K blocks” substracted with Used hadn’t reach zero yet. I’ve done apt-get autoclean but it didn’t give me much. I finally invoke apt-get clean, and voila, all problem solved. I can login into X again and wrote this blog. So, this mean I won’t switch to Kubuntu in near time :p. Ja-ne


PS:

Hmm, where could I found a scim for GTK apps? Bah, apt-cache search scim to the rescue

So, do you think it’s plausible to learn Japanese by yourself? I don’t think it would be as fast as learning in a course. But I do think it is plausible. So, what’s my point? Well, you can start learning nihongo by yourself using some internet materials. I found Japanesepod101.com to be interesting and helpful. There’re already over 132 beginner level podcasts by this October. And it’ll be more. And there’s also japanese lesson book from wikibooks.org. I’m nowhere far Konnichiwa’s Introduction part, I’m choked already :)). Okay, see ya around. Ja-ne じゃね

PS:
Let’s help each other learning nihongo ^^

Udah ditemeni sampe sahur segala, ehhh masih juga dapat yang ginian:

checking for  gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.0  beryl  dbus-1  dbus-glib-1 gthread-2.0... Package xrandr was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrandr.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xrandr', required by 'beryl', not found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.0  beryl  dbus-1  dbus-glib-1  gthread-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Ampunnnnnnnn … katanya not dependent on GNOME, ternyata masih perlu librari segambreng, gtk, glib. Uh, ya mau gimana lagi la wong aselinya memang forknya compiz. Ugh, eyecandy itu terpaksa jadi mimpi dulu … Beryl oh beryl ..

Xorg 7.1 feat. Kompose

Xorg 7.1 feat. Kompose

Originally uploaded by Framed Geek.

After spending lile my half Saturday and a whole Sunday, I finally managed to taste Xorg 7.1. It’s been a quite long awaited dream. Desperate to see how the performance boost would be, yesterday, I decided to build Xorg 7.1 from source.

I choose to build Xorg using jhbuild which seem to offer many otomation. And apparently (luckily) it does. Following the guide on Xorg page, I build the source step by step. it was all goes smooth like what the page said. My first error was indeed the xcb thingy, but later the story wrecks out beyond teh available scenario. Luckily, the issues weren’t to hard to solve. Mostly dealing with pulling the source yourself or adusting environment variable. from knowing nothing about how jhbuild works, I grasp things bit by bit. I even start to admire git. It’s cool, tought it wasn’t as simple Subversion. Got plenty of features hidden inside. So far what I;ve known only git clone and git pull ^^. Enough for checking out and updating source :p.

So, how’s Xorg 7. feel? When this could be a feeling but it felt somewhat snapier. My Kompose which previously worked rather sluggish is now works smoother. it still took some delay when taking screenshot but I think it takes lesser time than before. AIXGL still doesn’t wok for i don’t have the i915 module in my new Xorg 7.1. Weird eh? My olf Xorg seems to be b0rked, graphic looks ugly with green noises. guess it’s time to move permanently to Xorg 7.1.

Okay, I’ll leave you wth the screenshot. I’ll tell you more as I go with this Xorg 7.2. Until then, enjoy ^^
