Karmic Koala, back into legacy GRUB

One of  a lot of new feature of Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) is GRUB2 (GRand Unified Bootloader 2).  GRUB2 has replaced formerly known GRUB-Legacy (0.9x), which no longer being developed. It has significant different comparing with previous version, there is no longer /boot/grub/menu.lst  file, GRUB2 boot menu handled by /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This file automatically generated when system boot. but how if we still want to use old stuff, For example, i didn’t succeed to configure this newest version for pc_efi boot, meanwhile i need this for dual booting with my OSX86.

Surrogation

Imagine, in the future human don’t need going outside just for go to office, to the mart, or even meet their husband and wife, all of our activity will handled by robot called surrogate, meanwhile the human (operators) are just sitting in their room controlling the replication through intenet connection, no need to walk or move their hand, connected into their neuron. Imagine when we got perfect looking,  younger, handsome, or beauty. All surrogate are perfect. we can be any people what we want, reduce all risks while outsite, no crime or fear.  something that can only happened in our dream. But it’s all fake, human lost all fascinated thing being human, they living in lie, killing human side, lost the humanity. I guest not better than their robot. That what Surrogates movie trying to told us.

Hal-hal yang menyebalkan di facebook

Ada yng pernah lihat videonya Julian Smith yang judulnya 25 things that i hate in facebook ?, kocak banget. Di video itu disebutkan hal-hal yang menyebalkan di facebook, atau fitur-fitur yang useless. And gak tau juga kenapa akhir-akhir ini gw juga jadi malas buka situs yang diawali Mark Zukkerberg ini, banyak hal yang bikin gw males. Don’t take it personal ,  getting mad at me, or looked me as obnoxious :p, let’s we assuming it’s all just social critism. I still connected to facebook too, and only part peoples do this (i hope).

LG-KU250 Storage Mode got problem in Karmic Koala

I got litle trouble after upgrading to karmic koala, since the upgrade I’ve had problems with usb-storage. After i plug the device, system not mount anything. Actually this issue happened in Jaunty, but finally working after i did litle trick, add this line into /etc/modules :

usb-storage option_zero_cd=2

But in Karmic, it doesn’t work as i expected . This problem happened because device id 05c6:1000 is not initialized correctly and stopped with result :

[  144.565583] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[  144.576078] usb-storage: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5

So i guess this happened in all devices which share these IDs (used by a Qualcomm chipset for storage device)
I wish i can find a solution immediately, Damn, i’ts so annoying if i remove first memory card from my mobile phone, then connected through Card Reader just for data exchange

Dangkal, bener-bener dangkal!

“Parah banget sih lo, makanya lu beli Blackberry biar bisa facebook-an“. Glek! kaget gw denger itu waktu di angkot. Yang bikin kaget bukan masalah obrolan 2 orang cewek itu, atau juga tampang 2 cewek itu, biasa aja sih gw bilang (Wakakakka, sok kaya gw keren aja), tapi apa yang mereka omongin. Gw kaget karena orang cuma ngejudge seseorang gaptek cuma dari 2 hal, Blackberry (BB) and facebook. I think it’s silly and to shallow.

Solving Eclipse Galileo problem in Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10)

Yesterday i’ve upgraded my ubuntu with latest version 9.10 (Karmic Koala). After installing a lot of application, i was trying to install my favorite IDE, Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo). but something goes wrong after. i was not able to push OK button or Cancel button etc.
At that time i tought that main problem is my eclipse. Before i upgraded to karmic. i was install some plugins. that doesn’t matter in 9.04. but after install fresh copier of Galileo i still found this problem. Finally i found it, the main problem is about in how eclipse use GTK. In linux eclipse use GTK Library for handling interface, so it can be more native look.

Simple Maven2, Spring 2.5, JPA and Hibernate integration

A few months ago, i’ve read a tutorial about spring 2.5 writen by Endy Muhardin (one of JUG Indonesia Hall Of Fame), that tutorial explained bout newest features of Spring 2.5, this version now supports Annotation. Configuration is no longer always in xml file. this made our effort to build program pragmatically  more easier to configure, faster and efficient.

But due to my bustle, and a regulation in place i work now. i have to leave Spring Frameworks. My project prefer choosing EJB3 and Struts2 as main developtment stack. the main reason is our client need a distributable application (even i know that spring support those too). Besides, developt a  ORM for handling database using JPA is more interesting for me than other approach. One question is, how bout people who doesnt need EJB feature which needed heavy container like Glassfish or JBOSS to running their application?.

Fortunately, Spring support JPA for connecting  to database, we can choose Hibernate or Toplink for JPA implementations. and it’s still can run in light web server like tomcat or jetty.  i’ll give you very simple example using JPA+Hibernate in Spring 2.5.
