Comments

Written on January 26, 2010 by Hendy Irawan

Apabila Anda mempunyai kartu Smart CDMA dan modem Haier CE100, Anda dapat menggunakannya untuk konek ke Internet di Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10.

Berikut rangkuman caranya. Detail langkah-langkahnya akan saya bahas di artikel selanjutnya.

Aplikasi yang akan kita gunakan untuk konek adalah Gnome PPP. Untuk menginstall, klik di sini apt:gnome-ppp atau Gunakan Synaptic untuk menginstall package gnome-ppp.

Jalankan Terminal, lalu masukkan perintah berikut:

sudo chgrp dip /etc/ppp/*secrets
sudo chmod g+w /etc/ppp/*secrets

Anda juga harus menambahkan user Anda ke group dip dengan perintah berikut:

sudo adduser ceefour dip

Ganti “ceefour” dengan username Anda sendiri.

Catatan: /etc/ppp/options tidak perlu diubah.

Setiap mulai konek ke Internet, lakukan:

  1. Klik kanan modem di desktop, lalu Eject
  2. Gunakan Terminal untuk menjalankan perintah: 
    sudo modprobe -v usbserial vendor=0x201e product=0x2009
  3. Jalankan Gnome PPP, Konfigurasi sebagai berikut:
    Username: smart
    Password: smart
    Phone number: #777
    Port: /dev/ttyUSB0
    Modem: USB Modem
    Ignore terminal strings (stupid mode): Checked
    Put on tray after connect: Checked

Anda juga dapat menggunakan kartu CDMA dari mobile operator lain dengan mengganti username, password, dan phone number sesuai ketentuan dari operator.

Selamat ber-Internet!

Advanced Techniques

Autoeject:

  1. make updated fdi & remove fdi cache
  2. add udev rule

Faster speed + no modprobe:

  1. recompile option.ko or get precompiled option.ko

Menginstall Tampilan Bahasa Indonesia di Magento

Comments

Written on November 4, 2009 by Hendy Irawan


Magento adalah aplikasi e-commerce (disebut juga online store atau shopping cart) berbasis web dengan fasilitas sangat lengkap.

Tampilan Magento dapat diterjemahkan ke bahasa lain selain bahasa Inggris menggunakan Language Pack. Berikut ini cara menginstall dukungan bahasa Indonesia.

Catatan: Komputer/server Anda harus terkoneksi ke Internet saat melakukan langkah-langkah berikut.

Dapatkan Extension Key

  1. Browse ke Indonesian Language Pack for Magento.

  2. Klik tab “Releases”.
    Pada versi terbaru (paling atas), klik tombol “Get Extension Key”.
    Centang “By checking this box I agree to the extension license agreement“, lalu klik lagi tombol “Get Extension Key”.

  3. Pilih extension key yang muncul, catat atau copy ke Clipboard. Contoh extension key untuk versi 1.2.0.0.2 adalah:

    magento-community/Locale_Mage_community_id_ID-1.2.0.0.2

Install Language Pack Bahasa Indonesia

  1. Dari admin Magento, klik menu System -> Magento Connect -> Magento Connect Manager.

  2. Di bagian “Install New Extensions”, di kotak “Paste extension key to install”, masukkan extension key yang Anda catat di langkah 4, lalu klik tombol “Install”.

Aktifkan Tampilan Bahasa Indonesia

  1. Dari admin Magento, klik menu System -> Configuration.

  2. Pastikan Anda berada di halaman General -> General.
    Di bagian Locale options -> Locale, pilih “Bahasa Indonesia”. Lalu klik tombol “Save Config”.

Refresh Cache

Apabila cache Magento sedang aktif, perubahan Anda tidak langsung aktif. Langkah-langkah Refresh Cache sebagai berikut:

  1. Dari admin Magento, klik menu System -> Cache Management.

  2. Di bagian Cache Control -> All Cache, pilih “Refresh”.

  3. Klik tombol “Save cache settings”.

Silakan cek tampilan aplikasi web Magento Anda yang baru. :-)

Saat ini, language pack bahasa Indonesia masih belum terlalu lengkap. Mau membantu? Silakan bergabung di forum Language Pack Indonesia untuk Magento.

Read ext3/ext4 Partition from Windows 7

Comments

Written on November 1, 2009 by Hendy Irawan

If you use Windows 7 and want to dual-boot Ubuntu (or another Linux-based operating system), you’ll want to be able to read Ubuntu files from Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

The latest Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 uses ext4 filesystem by default, and previous versions use ext3 and ext2 filesystems. There are several good options to read and write ext2 filesystems from Windows systems, but ext3 or ext4 support is an entirely different scenario.

I tried three different software to read my ext4 partition: Ext2fsd, Ext2IFS, and DiskInternal Linux Reader. Ext2IFS fails to mount my ext4 partition due to unknown feature bit AND because my partition has inode size of 256 (Ext2IFS only supports inode size 128). DiskInternal Linux Reader apparently tries to scan my harddisk forever.

With Ext2fsd, I’ve successfully accessed my ext4 filesystem from Windows 7. Here I’ll show you the steps to make it happen:

  1. When creating the ext4 filesystem, make sure to add “-O ^extent” which means disabling the “extent” feature bit. I’m not sure if the following steps will work if your ext4 filesystem still has “extent” feature enabled. ext2 and ext3 partitions should be fine.
  2. Download ext2fsd here.
  3. Right-click the downloaded file and click Properties. Set the compatibility mode to “Windows Vista Service Pack 2″ and check “Run as administrator”.
  4. Run the ext2fsd installer. During install, I recommend you uncheck the “enable write access” feature to safeguard against losing data in your Linux partitions.
  5. Restart Windows 7.
  6. Run the Ext2 Volume Manager from Start Menu.

Now you should be able to mount your Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions from Windows 7 and read the files without any trouble.

These steps should also work on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP, only that you will not need to enable compatibility mode (step 3).

Let me know if this how-to works for you!

Cara Mengaktifkan Firebug Lite di Dojo untuk AJAX Debugging

Comments

Written on September 22, 2009 by Hendy Irawan

Web development menggunakan Dojo AJAX Library memang sangat powerful. Dojo mempunyai fitur untuk menambahkan efek-efek JavaScript dinamis dengan relatif mudah.

Namun, ada saatnya muncul masalah pada page kita, dan bisa saja itu karena scripting JavaScript yang salah atau problem lainnya. Jangan khawatir, karena Dojo mempunyai fitur Firebug Lite untuk membantu kita mengatasi masalah tersebut.

Untuk mengaktifkannya, tambahkan djConfig="isDebug: true" ke SCRIPT tag Dojo :

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/dojo/dojo.js"
    djConfig="parseOnLoad: true, isDebug: true"></script>

Firebug Lite akan muncul di bawah halaman Anda, bila Anda ingin memunculkannya dalam popup, tambahkan popup: true :

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/dojo/dojo.js"
    djConfig="parseOnLoad: true, isDebug: true, popup: true"></script>

Refresh page, maka Firebug Lite akan siap membantu.

Patch Disqus Plugin Agar `Allow Comments` di WordPress Tetap Berfungsi

Comments

Written on September 19, 2009 by Hendy Irawan

Disqus adalah sebuah jasa penyedia layanan comments hosting (komentar) untuk blog dan social media. Disqus mempunyai plugin untuk WordPress sehingga sangat mudah digunakan.

Satu kelemahan dari plugin ini adalah tetap menampilkan form komentar Disqus di semua blog post maupun pages, meskipun sudah kita disable dengan menghilangkan tanda centang di “Allow Comments” untuk halaman-halaman yang kita inginkan.

UPDATE: Plugin Disqus terbaru sudah memperbaiki kelemahan ini, sehingga patch ini tidak lagi dibutuhkan.

Solusinya adalah patch yang kita terapkan pada plugin Disqus tersebut. Caranya:

  1. Login ke WordPress Admin.

  2. Klik menu Plugins > Editor.

  3. Pilih plugin “DISQUS Comment System”

  4. Cari baris yang berisi code berikut: (sekitar baris ke-100) 
    if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) ) {
  return;
}

  5. Lalu ganti dengan code berikut: 
    if ( ('closed' == $post->comment_status) || ('page' == $post->post_type)) {<br />  return;<br />}<br />if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) ) {<br />  return;<br /> }

Setelah itu Save. Maka Disqus hanya akan muncul pada blog post yang Anda inginkan saja.
