“gksudo nautilus” salah satu magic word Ubuntu

Posted by snug | Tips-Trik Ubuntu | Thursday 10 July 2008 1:15 pm

Dalam menggunakan perintah-perintah “sudo” di Ubuntu sangat membutuhkan daya ingat yang luar biasa. Mungkin buat programer jagoan ngapalin setiap perintah di terminal adalah hal biasa. Namun bagi gue yang kebanyakan saraf neuron otaknya masih blank, ngapalin perintah-perintah di ubuntu hal yang sulit, blog ini adalah satu catatan gue. Seperti diketahui Ubuntu ini berbeda sekali dengan sistem operasi lainnya. Jika di windows, user bisa menjadi administrator, namun di Ubuntu, by default, user tidak menjadi administrator dari sistem operasi. Itulah sebabnya gw menjamin, tidak ada virus yang bisa nyerang ubuntu. Namun hal diatas menjadi hal yg repot tatkala kita hendak merubah hal kecil, misalnya mengganti attribut folder. Untungnya Ubuntu menyediakan perintah-perintah yang bisa berbasis grafis. Salah satunya adalah perintah “gksudo nautilus”.

Misalnya kita ingin menjalankan File Manager (nautilus pada GNOME atau konqueror pada KDE) dengan akses root. Jika kita memakai Linux Ubuntu (GNOME), tekan tombol Alt+F2 lalu ketikkan: gksudo nautilus.

Dengan perintah ini kita bisa merubah attribut folder dengan berbasiskan grafis, tanpa melalui terminal.

Webserver : Xampp di Vista dan Lampp di Ubuntu

Posted by snug | Berita Ubuntu, Tips-Trik Ubuntu | Monday 7 July 2008 10:38 am

Pada sistem operasi windows, gue terbiasa menggunakan Xampp. XAMPP merupakan sebuah paket instalasi untuk PHP, APACHE dan MySQL. Dengan menggunakan XAMPP, kita tidak perlu lagi repot menginstall ketiga software itu secara terpisah. XAMPP dapat di download di http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. Gue ngak usah cerita banyak tentang bagaimana install Xampp, soalnya semua serba otomatis deh. Selama tuh orang bisa baca tulis kayaknya pasti bisa nginstall. Bahkan buat yg ngak bisa bahasa Inggris pun kayaknya bisa deh, soalnya udah ada edisi bahasa indonesia. Tapi untuk lengkapnya bisa aja ke blog dari rekan Wahyu Pramsinto di http://away.blogsome.com/2007/05/28/cara-instalasi-xampp/

Masalah sedikit rumit pada instalasi di Ubuntu. Tapi akhirnya gw bisa juga, setelah melewati beberapa kendala. Cara-cara instalasi dan beberapa permasalahan yang terjadi coba gw tulis disini.

Cara mudah install webserver dengan XAMPP sudah ada paket MySQL, PHP, Perl dan lainnya. install XAMPP : download , extrak, dan start jadi deh….

  1. Download LAMPP versi baru disini http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#374
  2. Extrak file donload ke /opt dengan perintah sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.4a.tar.gz -C /opt
  3. Jalankan xampp dengan perintah sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
  4. Jika muncul pesan /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 334: log_success_msg: not found, simply follow this instruction to edit your mysql.server file
  5. Ketik di konsol sudo gedit /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server
  6. Pada baris pertama ganti dengan #!/bin/bash

Untuk Cek, jalankan Firefox lalu ketik: http://localhost

ok. XAMPP dah jalan

ohya kalo ada muncul pesan setelah start sbb;

/opt/lampp/lampp: line 74: arch: command not found

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.6.3…

/opt/lampp/lampp: line 74: arch: command not found

/opt/lampp/lampp: line 74: arch: command not found

XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)…

/opt/lampp/lampp: line 74: arch: command not found

XAMPP: Starting MySQL…

/opt/lampp/lampp: line 74: arch: command not found

XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD…

XAMPP for Linux started.

tenang…. jangan takut, ketik lagi

sudo nano /bin/arch

isi dengan :

uname -m

keluar dan simpan, lalu ketikkan :

sudo chmod +x /bin/arch

ok. sekarang restart XAMPP dengan perintah;

sudo /opt/lamp/lampp restart

kira-kira akan keluar seperti ini D

Stopping XAMPP for Linux 1.6.4…

XAMPP: Stopping Apache with SSL…

XAMPP: Stopping MySQL…

XAMPP: Stopping ProFTPD…

XAMPP stopped.

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.6.4…

XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)…

XAMPP: Starting MySQL…

XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD…

XAMPP for Linux started.

Permasalahan yang terjadi pada saat gw nginstall.

Lampp tidak mau berjalan karena ada program lain yang sedang berjalan

Cara ngatasi: Gunakan Synaptic Package Manager, cari semua paket apache, php, sql yang mungkin sudah terinstall. Remove aja. Abis itu restart LAMPP dengan terminal.

Sedikit bantuan, gunakan perintah-perintah pada terminal dengan perintah dibawah ini :

Usage: /opt/lampp/lampp <action>

start        Start XAMPP (Apache, MySQL and eventually others)

startapache  Start only Apache

startssl     Start only SSL support

startmysql   Start only MySQL

startftp     Start only ProFTPD

stop         Stop XAMPP (Apache, MySQL and eventually others)

stopapache   Stop only Apache

stopssl      Stop only SSL support

stopmysql    Stop only MySQL

stopftp      Stop only ProFTPD

reload       Reload XAMPP (Apache, MySQL and eventually others)

reloadapache Reload only Apache

reloadmysql  Reload only MySQL

reloadftp    Reload only ProFTPD

restart      Stop and start XAMPP

security     Check XAMPP’s security

php5         Activate PHP5

php4         Activate PHP4

phpstatus    Which version of PHP is active?

backup       Make backup file of your XAMPP config, log and data files

panel        Starts graphical XAMPP control panel

Setelah anda yakin sudah berjalan dengan baik perbaiki keamanan anda dengan perintah :

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security

XAMPP: Quick security check…

XAMPP: Your XAMPP pages are secured by a password.

XAMPP: Do you want to change the password anyway? [no] y

XAMPP: Password: isi password anda

XAMPP: Password (again): isi password anda lagi

XAMPP: Password protection active. Please use ‘lampp’ as user name!

XAMPP: MySQL is accessable via network.

XAMPP: Normaly that’s not recommended. Do you want me to turn it off? [yes] n

XAMPP: MySQL has to run before I can check the security.

XAMPP: MySQL has to run before I can check the security.

XAMPP: ProFTPD has a new FTP password. Great!

XAMPP: Do you want to change the password anyway? [no] n

XAMPP: Done.

Permasalahan kedua yang terjadi adalah setelah saya membuat password root pada PHPMYADMIN, ternyata muncul tulisan error seperti : “phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection” jangan bingung… cara mengatasi ikutin langkah berikut :

sudo gedit /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

tambahkan password yang anda isi pada config.inc.php :

/* Authentication type and info */

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = ‘config’;

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ‘root’;

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ‘isi password anda’;

Permasalah Ketiga yang muncul.

Folder HTDOCS tidak Unwritable, cara mengatasi :

Make htdocs folder writable Sebelum kita menyimpan files kita dalam folder htdocs, Kita harus merubah dulu permissions sehingga folder tersebut menjadi writable. Dibawah ini adalah jalam termudah merubah change folder permission di Ubuntu.

Press ALT+F2 dan tulis “gksudo nautilus” dan RUN Run, setelah sebelumnya anda mengisi password anda.

tuju ke “/opt/lampp” dan klik kanan folder htdocs.

Pilih Tab Permissions dan  and Check semua  “Write” checkboxes, kemudian close

Sekarang folder htdocs anda sudah writable, Anda bisa menyimpan file anda di folder tersebut.

Setting Koneksi Dial-up pada Ubuntu

Posted by snug | Tips-Trik Ubuntu | Sunday 6 July 2008 1:25 am

Dial-up access is a form of Internet access through which the client uses a modem connected to a computer and a telephone line to dial into an Internet service provider’s (ISP) node to establish a modem-to-modem link, which is then routed to the Internet.

 

Most ISPs provide dial-up connections supporting PPP because it is a fast and efficient protocol for using TCP/IP over serial lines. PPP is designed for two-way networking; TCP/IP provides the transport protocol for data.

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) uses several components on your system. The first is a daemon called pppd, which controls the use of PPP. The second is a driver called the high-level data link control (HDLC), which controls the flow of information between two machines. A third component of PPP is a routine called chat that dials the other end of the connection for you when you want it to.

Configuring a Dial-Up Connection in Ubuntu

Ubuntu includes some useful utilities to get your dial-up connection up and running.Here is the following ways you can connect to your dialup connection

1)Using your networking option in Ubuntu

2)using gnome-ppp

3)using kppp (For Kubuntu)

4)using wvdialconf & wvdial

5)using pppconfig & pon/poff

first thing you need to make sure your modem drivers are installed or not.If you want more details about modem drivers in ubuntu and installation check here

Now we will see 3 ways how to configure dialup connection in ubuntu

Before Starting

Before configuring Dial-up connection you need to have the following information from your ISP

1)Username

2)Password

3)Dail-in number

Configuring a Dial-Up Connection using Networking option

you can go to System—>Administration —>Networking

Once it open the application you should see the following screen

In the above screen select modem connection option and click on properties you should see the following screen

The first thing you will need to do is to enable the connection by ticking the Enable this connection box,now you need enter your ISP’s phone number as well as your username and password

Next, click on the modem tab to specify details about your modem and also configure the speaker volume. Most telephone systems use tone dialling nowadays, so make sure this is selected . I have selected the speaker volume on medium.

Now you need to click on options tab If you are using a laptop, then you will probably want to uncheck Set modem as default route to the Internet whilst you are on a LAN, otherwise you may struggle to see anything! Tick it when you are expecting to use your dial-up connection though, and Ubuntu will use this connection to get out onto the Internet.You need to select other two options checked.

Now You can use the Gnome Modem Monitor and Network Monitor panel if you want to stop, start and monitor modem connections.

Configuring a Dial-Up Connection using pppconfig

configure a connection using pppconfig, a command line utility to help you to configure specific dial-up connection settings.This is a command line based option to manage dialup connections.

Open a terminal from Applications > System Tools > Terminal and type

sudo pppconfig

Now you should see the following screen here you need to select “Create Create a connection” select ok and press enter

Here you need to enter provider name and you can leave default one and in this example i am giving “comcast” select ok and press enter

Next screen you need to select “Dynamic Use dynamic DNS” select ok and press enter

You need to select Authentication method here i am selecting “chat :Use chat for login/password :Authentication” select ok and press enter

Select login prompt option leave default select ok and press enter

Select password prompt option leave default select ok and press enter

Enter the username given to you by your ISP in this example i am using “ruchiw” select ok and press enter

Enter the password given to you by your ISP in this example i am using “myfirstpassword” select ok and press enter

Enter the modem speed as “115200″ select ok and press enter

Select method of dialing as “Tone” select ok and press enter

Enter the number to dial select ok and press enter

Choose your modem configuration method if you want to detect your modem automatically select yes otherwise select no in this example i am selecting no select ok and press enter

Select the modem port and i leave the default option select ok and press enter

Here is the complete details you have choosen for your provider connection in this example comcast

Finished the connection settings select ok and press enter

Select “Quit Exit this utility”

Exit the terminal window using the following command

exit

Connecting to your ISP

Before you connect for the first time you need to add yourself to both the dip and dialout groups by using the commands

sudo adduser YOURNAMEHERE dip

sudo adduser YOURNAMEHERE dialout

connect to the ISP configured as “comcast”

pon comcast

disconnect the ISP configured as “comcast”

poff comcast

If you are trying to connect as default “provider” you need to use the following commands to connect and disconnect

pon

poff

You can check the last messages generated by these commands with

shows the (status) messages generated by pon and poff

plog

Configuring a Dial-Up Connection using gnome-ppp

GNOME PPP is an easy to use graphical dialup connection configuring and dialing tool with system tray icon support.It uses GNOME/GTK+ for its graphical interface and integrates well in GNOME desktop environment, but it can be used in other environments.

It also uses WvDial dialer as its backend, providing simple configuration via config files. You can also use plain wvdial if you don’t have X running.

Install gnome-ppp Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

This will complete the installation.

If you want to open the application go to Application—>Internet—>GNOME PPP

Once application opens you should see the following screen

In the above screen you need to click on setup to configure your settings you should see the following screen configre the modem settings

Next click on networking tab to configure network settings

Next click on options tab to configure general options

Once you have all the details enter the details you can see the following screen
