If you ask me how many websites you visit that have Java applets, I tell you no one. They are few, few enough to make opening a page with Java applet a time consuming task! Yes, today I ran into one that uses Java applet for essential service, and I really need it. (more…)

uTorrent on Kubuntu 11.10 libssl error
After installing Kubuntu 11.10, uTorrent server won’t start. Whenever I start it I get this error:
./utserver: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
with a lot of Googling, I solved it by installing libssl0.9.8 package:
sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8
Hope it will save someone’s time 🙂
Sharing folders between two computers running Kubuntu (KDE)
Sharing two folders between two computer is something that expected to work out of the box, but it seems that the new releases of Kubuntu needs extra work to add this functionality, I was surprised about how we still need command line to tackle this simple task, even after all this great Graphical User Interface exprience being introduced in Linux world.

Kubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition
In May 2010 I purchased Toshiba NB 305 Netbook, it comes with Windows 7 starter edition.
Well, it was working just fine, light and speedy, until I decided to protect my Windows with AntiVirus and Firewall application, you know, Windows’ eternal companions! That’s where it started to be slow, slow enough to make me frustrated.
Then I decided to install Kubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition since I am already using Kubuntu on my Laptop.
It’s kind of slow, but I think I’ll buy 2 GB RAM to replace the installed 1 GB.
One thing that’s quite interesting so far is the interface, it is optimized for netbooks, and looks great and handy.
It’s updating right now, and I am not sure if it will play my media files smoothly, usually, I install smplayer on Kubuntu.
For those interested, there is Ubuntu Netbook Remix, many of Internet users giving good impression about it. I am a KDE guy, so, not ready for it yet.
Only Linux! no more Windows xD
Today, I re-formated my Toshiba laptop and installed KUbuntu 9.04. I was going to install Fedora 11 but I encountered some issues when I reach Disk Partitioning, and actually I was quite lazy to check the cause.
I’ll stick with kubuntu for while and see!
By the way, tomorrow supposed to be the release day of Microsoft Windows 7. Great OS of course, I hope all success for it. I was using the RC for the past 3 months, and I can tell it has its unique look & feel.
Actually, when I bought my Toshiba it was without OS, which cheaper with 200 LD than the one shipped with Windows Vista, Now, there is no way I go back to Vista, and I have no plans spending more money on the new Windows 7. So I decided to give it a try and have my Laptop with only Linux, something I didn’t try since my first Linux installation back in early 2004.
It’s updating now, and I feel so bored, I tried to play a movie with KMplayer, but nothing playing, I’ll wait until the update finishes and see!
I’ll start looking for an alternative to Adobe Dreamweaver, I think it will be Quanta+.
See you next time 😉
