OpenOffice error recovery

Delete 3 files (easier cut and paste these into terminal):

$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/cache/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat

$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu

$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup/*

Got this from here http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=39084

And these are the detail:

Under Windows (English), you could delete the files

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Recovery.xcu

and

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\cache\org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat

along with the entire contents of

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\backup\

The path names may be different under a non-English version of Windows, and under Linux, these files will be located in a subdirectory called .openoffice.org in your home directory.

EDIT: Deleting Recovery.xcu will reset the autosave interval back to its default value of 15 minutes. This can be changed under Tools | Options | Load/Save | General.

Googleearth 6 in Debian Squeeze

1. $ sudo apt-get update
2. $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Download deb package from http://earth.google.com
4. $ sudo dpkg -i go*.deb
5. If many dependency failures, this is the last working try: $ sudo apt-get install lsb-core lsb-release pax alien rpm rpm2cpio libelf1 librpm1 librpmbuild1 librpmio1 libelf1 librpm1 librpmio1 rpm-common

Hint: I did block (double click in the package) and middle click (anywhere in terminal) to get the dependency transferred at the cursor position.

Hisab Ramadhan 1432H

Ringkasnya, pada 30 Juli, saat matahari terbenam, kira2 bulan ada di -5 derajat. Pada hari berikutnya, bulan ada di posisi +6 derajat di atas ufuk. Jadi insya Allah kita mulai puasa bersama tanpa beda pendapat.

Mudah-mudahan bermanfaat.

Plone geospatial

View sREM Kalsel in a larger map

Akhirnya berhasil install collective.geo.kml. Sepertinya sisanya hampir sama.

Lalu kepikiran sama google maps' iframe. Kayaknya kalau bisa implement iframe di Plone, urusan prototype srem jadi lebih simpel.

Wait a minute! Kenapa harus Ploe + iframe? Kalau Django + iframe bisa jalan, maka roadmap (Geo)Django tidak perlu direvisi. Just add a new mile-stupid-iframe-implementation-stone, and all data can be chased right away! Aha, AWS, here we come!

Satu lagi, perpetaan dibangun diatas projection yang berbeda dengan Google Earth. So, kalau mau Google Earth sebagai basis, sepertinya perlu acara besar2an konversi dari shapefile yg sdh ada ke GE.

Btw, I like the approach of this instant django site.

Suara hilang di flash/youtube

Barusan muter2 karena Flash kehilangan suaranya di semua browser. Sudah ganti-ganti Gnash (default Iceweasel/Firefox dan lain-lain yang berbasis Gecko, saya kira) dan Adobe Flashplayer (default google chrome dan opera).

Resolusinya sederhana, tinggal ketik

$ sudo alsactl init

Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC1200" "HDA:10ec0888,10438357,00100101" "0x1043" "0x8357"

Hardware is initialized using a guess method

Sudah dikontribusikan di Ubuntu Forum dibawah, kalau pengen tahu cerita lengkapnya:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10923614#post10923614

By the way, kalau nggak nemu paket deb flashplayer dari adobe (misalnya untuk mesin Debian), bisa pasang Adobe Air. Maka, di /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources akan ada file libflashplayer.so. Kalau tidak, bisa download tar.gz-nya disini.

Tinggal mbikin symlinknya saja:

$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

$ sudo ln -s /opt/Adobe\ AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so flash-mozilla.so

Cek juga postingan terdahulu tentang flash.

Ubuntu jump upgrade Jaunty-Lucid

Rule of thumb:

1. Semua dikerjakan dengan terminal (konsole, gnome-terminal atau sterm, atau tty1-6)
2. Baiknya (tidak harus) jangan reboot sebelum semua proses selesai. Ada pengalaman, sistem yang tidak terupdate dengan baik jadi tidak singkron antara konfigurasi dengan aplikasinya, sehingga sistem tidak jalan. Meskipun ini bukan kiamat, tapi cita-cita 'jump upgrade' jadi tidak mudah dikerjakan
3. Lakukan langkah 3 berulang-ulang, meskipun sepertinya sudah selesai
4. Untuk menguji sudah selesai atau belum, coba install aplikasi baru yang kecil saja. Kalau ada permintaan semisal "$sudo apt-get -f install" kerjakan saja. Itu artinya masih ada paket yang belum singkron.
5. Kalau hasil akhir dari langkah 3 sudah : 0 update, 0 new install, dst, itu artinya sudah beres, komputer bisa direstart dengan selamat, insya Allah.
6. Langkah dibawah sudah diuji di beberapa sistem, jadi insya Allah oke.

Tahapannya hanya 3, yang ada didalam tanda petik, tanpa tanda petik:

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, ganti semua kata jaunty menjadi lucid, misalnya dengan "$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
2. "$ sudo apt-get update"
3. "$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

Selamat mencoba. Silahkan komentar kalau ada yang tidak beres. Tapi ingat, jangan saya dilempari tanggung jawab kalau ada yang error. Prinsipnya, you should understand the risk.

Ubuntu upgrade "Forbidden"

Kalau provider internet (kantor) punya proxy, boleh jadi beberapa paket di Ubuntu yang nama paketnya berbau pornografi akan diblok. Yang paling umum yang dibawah ini:



Cara mudah untuk mengatasinya adalah copy paste pesan "Forbidden" tersebut selengkap-lengkapnya, lalu masuk ke
http://ubuntu.pesat.net.id/archive/pool/

atau

http://repo.bppt.go.id/ubuntu/
di Firefox.

Download file-file yang hilang diatas, sesuai lokasi yang ditunjukkan. Simpan file-file tersebut di folder tersendiri (misalnya di ~/Downloads/), lalu kopi ke /var/cache/apt/archives/. Kopi-paste perintah dibawah (tidak termasuk tanda $) dengan Terminal atau Konsole.

$ cd ./Downloads/
$ sudo mv *.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/

Baru setelah itu ulangi upgrade lagi.

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Kalau mau upgrade-nya melompat, misalnya dari Jaunty ke Lucid LTS, lihat posting ini.

Demikian, mudah-mudahan bermanfaat.
