Anjar Hardiena: Google Chrome, Disaster atau penolong para webdeveloper?

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:00:18 +0000

Beberapa hari yang lalu Google mengumumkan telah mengeluarkan browser mereka yang bernama "Google Chrome". Dengan tampilan menawan, sleek, simple, dst...dst... browser ini cukup menggiurkan untuk dicoba.... walaupun sampe saat ini ane blom coba sama sekali ni browser. Alesannya? kudu nyoba dikantor karena pake Windos karena blom ada versi Linuxnya.... Namanya ...

Anjar Hardiena: Ganti theme? “Working Under Pleasure” Hmmm……

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Security Update: PHP

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:46:00 +0000

A new PHP package has been released for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to fix security issues. This might be the last PHP series supported, so those who still loves PHP 4, please get ready to upgrade to PHP 5.x. Here's the email from Slackware Security Team:

[slackware-security] php (SSA:2008-247-01)

New php packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to fix security issues. These releases are the last to contain PHP 4.4.x, which was upgraded to version 4.4.9 to fix PCRE issues and other bugs.

Please note that this is the FINAL release of PHP4, and it has already passed the announced end-of-life. Sites should seriously consider migrating to PHP5 rather than upgrading to php-4.4.9.

Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/php-4.4.9-
i486-1_slack11.0.tgz:
Upgraded to php-4.4.9. This upgrades the bundled PCRE library to fix security issues, as well as fixing a few other security related bugs.
See the PHP4 ChangeLog for more details:
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php#4.4.9
Please note: PHP4 has been officially discontinued since last year, and reached the announced EOL on 2008-08-08. Sites should consider migrating to a supported release.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: KDE 4.1.1 Arrives

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:38:00 +0000

One week after KDE 3.5.10 comes up, another release has been made by KDE team. This time, a monthly update to KDE 4.1.x series, which brings KDE 4.1.1 on the surface. This series will be updated monthly until they get to KDE 4.2.0 which is schedduled to on January 2009 (good idea to start a new year with better desktop manager).

In overall, KDE 4.1.1 brings this better performance and many bug fixes found on KDE 4.1.0 relased last month:

Significant performance, interaction and rendering correctness improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's webbrowser
User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma, the KDE4 desktop shell
PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular
Fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata
Stability and interaction fixes in KMail

For full detailed changes, please see the Changelog. I have a feeling that this version will be added to /testing soon after Pat compiled the source and tested it.

I'm waiting for Vincent's packages to be updated and i will try this version too on my office workstation (not on my desktop at home).

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Pidgin Update

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:58:00 +0000

Pidgin 2.5.1 has been out for a few days and i have been using it on my desktop, but today it is available on -Current tree. It's quite a quick release from the developer compared to other releases which usually took more than a month. Probably because there were some critical error found on 2.5.0, so they had to make a fix on it.

By the way, Pidgin 2.5.1 has SOCKS proxy support, so if you are behind the proxy, you can try this version and let's hope it works behind the proxy. Pidgin is known to be unfriendly with proxies, but let's hope that myths will end by this version

Here's the small changelog today:

Tue Sep 2 15:26:09 CDT 2008
xap/pidgin-2.5.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pidgin-2.5.1.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Security Fix: Samba

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:02:00 +0000

Samba package has been upgraded to fix permission on -Current (-Stable and older version of Slackware were not affected as this package only being released on -Current). Here's the changelog:

Tue Sep 2 02:11:27 CDT 2008
n/samba-3.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.2.3. This fixes a security issue where group_mapping.ldb was accidentally chmod 666 (only in -current, as all previous Slackware versions use the Samba 3.0.x branch which is not affected). This build also adds the mount.smbfs wrapper script for mount.cifs, and a link to the wrapper from /usr/bin/smbmount. This may fix some of the issues that people were having mounting SMB filesystems.
Note that SMBFS is considered obsolete now, and using mount.smbfs really isn't any different in function using the wrapper than using mount.cifs directly. For more information on the security issue, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3789
(* Security fix *)
Since this security issue only affects the unreleased development branch, (aka -current) this ChangeLog comment is the official notification.
For those using older versions of Slackware, many of them got bugfix updates to the 3.0.x branch. Check the new packages out -- they should correct some stability issues.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: PV on Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:48:00 +0000

Guess what? PV is on the Facebook. You can add him by searching or by looking at his account here. I was introduced by Robby Workman. You can see his latest photo (it's quite rare to find his photo on the Internet).

So, if you are Slackware users and have Facebook account, you can add him . I'm not sure how he got there, but you can contact him directly talking about Slackware. He's updating his status quite frequent. The current status is working to make Samba print.

Welcome to Facebook, PV

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: New Poll: Slackware Logo

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:43:00 +0000

As you might already know, Slackware has changed the logo into a "flippy" logo which was made by Mark from Senile Felines Design. It's called Ambigram and sometimes it's even hard to read when you are not used to it.

So this month's question is about the new logo. Whether you like it or not, it's up to Pat to decide whether he will use the old one or the new one on the next Slackware release. Remember guys, it's just a vote

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Poll Results

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:09:00 +0000

Well, another month, that means another poll results from Slackblogs. Last month's question was about OOo inclusion on Slackware's official tree. We 94 voters last month and here's the final results:

Yes, definitely 58 (61%)
No, people can use other source like Slackbuilds 29 (30%)
I don't use OOo, so it doesn't matter for me 7 (7%)

Most people would love to see OOo included on the Slackware. So far, people get it from SlackBuild as they already provide the SlackBuild script to convert the RPMs files into tgz so it can be easily be managed by pkgtools. I myself uses rpm2tgz to convert the files and so far, everything works just fine here.

FYI, building OOo from source it's really something painful. You have lots of requirements and lots of settings before you can start compiling (it doesn't count error on the compilation phase). If you don't believe it, try looking at this page. This will give you a head start of what the build process like.

One thing that makes me tickle when i read the vote post was the last option. There were people who still don't use OOo. I know it's bloated, but still it's probably the best office suite available in Linux platform.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Security Update: Amarok

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:21:00 +0000

Even though it's a bit late for -Current users, but it might be useful for those who don't play fire with -Current and stick with -Stable tree. Amarok has just been upgraded to 1.4.10 because The Magnatune music library plugin made insecure use of the /tmp directory, allowing malicious local users to overwrite files owned by the user running Amarok through symlink attacks. This was fixed in 1.4.10, so please go get them now, mostly if you are using Magnatune. Here's the latest -Stable tree:

Thu Aug 28 22:48:16 CDT 2008
patches/packages/amarok-1.4.10-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz:
Upgraded to amarok-1.4.10. This fixes a security issue in the Magnatune online music library support which could be used by malicious local users to overwrite system files. For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3699

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: KOffice Patched

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:32:00 +0000

There was one small issue on KOffice so that Pat has to patch the KOffice in order to fix this issue with ODT files. Here's the latest -Current changelog:

Thu Aug 28 15:11:39 CDT 2008
kde/koffice-1.6.3-i486-6.tgz: Patched KOffice to write ODT elements in the correct order according to specs. This issue was first noticed by Giovanni Venturi while moving ODT documents between OOo and KWord. Thanks to Giovanni Venturi for pointing out the patch in KOffice's SVN.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: Kdetoys and Kdenetwork are Back

noreply@blogger.com (Willy Sudiarto Raharjo) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:15:00 +0000

In the last KDE updates, two files were missing (kdetoys and kdenetwork). Right now, it has been uploaded by Pat and every KDE packages are now synchronized to 3.5.10. Good to hear that.

Wed Aug 27 21:01:25 CDT 2008
A couple of things slipped through the cracks with that last update. An old patch was applied to kdenetwork making that build fail. Once that was fixed kdetoys (previously missing) built correctly. Perhaps it needed a header file or library from kdenetwork. Sorry about that, and thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo and Corrado Franco for pointing out the omissions.
kde/kdenetwork-3.5.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdenetwork-3.5.10.

Willy Sudiarto Raharjo: KDE 3.5.10 Is Available

KDE 3.5.10 has been released and it's already on the Slackware-Current repository. Go get them and upgrade to the latest version of the KDe 3.5.x version. It's still one of the most stable version of the KDE version. I'm still using it even though Pat has put the KDE 4.1 on the /testing directory. I do use KDE 4.1, but it's on my office desktop which i rarely used for most of my daily activities. Anyways, here's the latest -Current changelog (it's nice to see the changelog gets updated after two weeks without any updates):

Tue Aug 26 22:21:31 CDT 2008
Upgraded KDE version 3.x.x to 3.5.10. Really, there's nothing wrong with looking back as long as it's something stable and dependable. It's good to see that KDE3 received this maintainance update. Thanks, KDE team! :-)

Makassar-Slackers: Salut dengan HP Service Center

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:30:26 +0000

Baru-baru ini, ada masalah dengan laptop kantorku merk HP Pavilion dv2000 yang merupakan hibah dari kantor pusat di Jakarta. Masalahnya display tidak menampilkan gambar melainkan desktop putih dan bergaris-garis warna-warni sejak awal laptop menyala (sebelum bios). Perkiraan saya adalah masalah hardware VGA. Biasanya kalau laptop itu chipset vga-nya melekat pada mainboard, so.. perkiraan mungkin mainboardnya yang harus diganti. Berarti biayanya tidak mungkin sedikit:((
