Several weeks ago, my computer has been death, he he. I say it was death because i couldn’t enter Gnome Display Manager (GDM) in my machine as i would like to enter. I don’t know why did this kind of annoying thing happen brutally to me. I have any kind of way to resolve my problem which is dropped me to a lonely and disappointed feeling after a proud thing Of Ubuntu. Really hard for me to think that my Ubuntu machine have to be resolved through a clean install!!!!! How can it be, I think it woudn’t be a matter if my Internet Connection is good enough. my Internet Connection isn’t sufficient to provide me the Ubuntu Update which now has been Hardy 8.0.4.1 as fast as you all could. How much time, also setting that i must do?

By The way, by the end of my searching, I found a great Post Which guide me in resolving my problem. Unfortunately i’m forget where the URL is located, but i remember the steps which guide me through. I know My Problem was because My ATI Driver so actually i want to find my way ‘home’ by resetting it using terminal. But that was a Big Lie (means Nothing’s happen!!) I cant do it!

and finally I tried this steps and works successfully!!!!

1. If you are facing your White Screen of Death, Try this Alt+Ctrl+F1, It would lead you to the tty Mode. Log in and restart by typing sudo shutdown -r now You will be restarted
2. (if you haven’t been starting your machine you may go from this point) In the login screen, click the option button which is located on 7 O’Clock direction (lower left)
3. Choose Session
4. Choose the Failsafe GNOME option and click OK
5. Now your screen is really beautiful, Isn’t it? hehe
6. Your work isnt finished yet, Go to the Application >> Add and Remove Programs
7. YOu will be escorted to the Program Package that is installed or ready to be installed in your machine (because I’m Using ATI CARD and i know the problems coming right from it) Type ATI in search bar, scroll down and uncheck the ATI binary X.Org driver (if u are using another Card, Sorry I dont recommend you to use this) Click Apply
8. Insert your Password, and Ok again
9. Once the Process finished, you may Restart your machine, and in logon screen, See the Step No. 3 Above and choose GNOME session as your default
10. You will be log in successfully to your Hardy!!

if you still have the problems, may be you should do this in the terminal (this problem maybe because of your compiz)

I hope thats Helps

today i feel not so good, because of a stomachache that brings me very weak. But I just want to review my ubuntu since i falling in love with it!
Ubuntu was surprisingly attract my attention at the first sight!! wow i thought It going to be my lovely distro i think!! (that time) and it is!! i made ubuntu as my main OS! i love it
and the thing that i love from it are
1. It is Free and opensource software
2. Good appearance
3. Much much more free on using it
4. Faster in internet connection
5. Virus free (maybe for now — i dont know will it appear to linux machine one day!)

but as the running time, igradually found that this free and opensource is also sometimes annoying ar at least made me troubled. the thing are:
1. When i download a content, i cant browsing (anyone knows why?)
2. After installing compiz, sometimes my videos and audio files cannot be played (whether not all the time, it really disturbing me!)
3. sometimes i must remember the code when i want to install some packages or program in my machine

but overall, i love you Ubuntu

This is several days since i decide to migrate my OS choice to Linux (Debian Core/Ubuntu) OS. Firstly I must reinstall my Linux OS because a wrong setting in my /opt folder also i was unable to get it right as the OS itself want! why did i Know It? i know it since it was unable to boot normally or it was unable to log me in correctly. Ya, I think that’s no problem because i myself is still in learning process. Also i would like to thank for Ubuntu team who has so kindly deliver the CDs freely to me and all of people request it anyone interested in it, just freely come here but all u have to do is just give some time to register or if you have a broadband Internet connection you may try it here

Everything is totally different and so light. That was the first impression when i come with my plain mind. Everything i have ever worried of ‘migrating’ my OS choice isn’t happen as I’ve pretended before. The thing remain in my mind is why i don’t try to migrate to Linux soon as i received the CD few months ago.
With this new one, I’m able to surf faster, download files easily and more interested in it. believe it or not, this using this distro, I’m able to download files 3x faster than usual. I’m not kidding when i say that using Ubuntu is faster. I’m really feeling it. with it i could hear for the music directly from AOL music without any trouble. i haven’t feel the same with my formerly OS. may be if i in the broadband connection, this will no effect at all because it maybe no difference between high speed in Win or in Lin.

i recommend this opensource software for all people in the world.

Thanks Lin!!

Kemarin, tanggal 17 Juni pesanan CD linux gratis dari canonical. ltd datang memenuhi pesananku yang aku aplikasikan beberapa waktu lalu (tepatnya kapan sku juga Lupa). namun setelah kinfirmasi ke http://shipit.ubuntu.com aku dapat pernyataan

Shipped/Cancelled requests

• 2 CDs requested on 2008-03-22, 2 CDs were approved and sent to the shipping company on 2008-03-25. Please note requests usually take from 4 to 6 weeks to deliver, depending on the country of shipping.

Ya intinya, Ubuntu telah sangat berbaik hati 2 kali pesan duakali pula dipenuhin. malah liat kan yang terakhir, pesannya 2 dikirimnya 3 biji. What a really kind of Ubuntu. Mungkin sesuai dengan mottonya “LINUX FOR HUMAN BEINGS”.
Dengan penuh antusiasme tinggi aku buka tuh Kemasan yang cantik putih. ehm Isinya membuatku kaged sekaligus senang karena isinya bukan cuman Kubuntu aja yang datang seperti yang aku pesan sebelumya (gak merhatiin amplop dinK!!) disana ada paket Ubuntu (yang dulu udah aku pesan) namun versinya beda Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) wow!! i think I’m surprised that time juga Edubuntu. kelebihan yang satu ini yaitu kita bisa menginstal si linus ekh linux ke kompi kita langsung tanpa harus takut terjadi sesuatu yang gak menyenangkan bakal terjadi terhadap windoze yang kita miliki. sesuatu yang sangat jauh berbeda dengan si gutsy gibbon alias ubuntu 7.10 yang lalu. CD yang lau coman sempat aku mainin beberapa kali via live CDnya namun gak berani sama sekali untuk mengutak-atik sistem windoze yang udah aku pake mulai dulu. Mubazir banget kan Kirimannya!! namun yang kali ini wah kayanya Hmm nice to try deh i think. Dan jadilah aku mencoba menginstal si Kubuntu via Windoze. namun itu semuanya belum sepenuhnya membuatku yakin untuk mencoba lebih jauh!
Thanks buat semua orang yang mendukung aku dalam pengenalan ku terhadap Linux
bro udin di tutorial K.L.A.S (Kelompok Linux Arek Suroboyo) It Helps me much, walaupun karena bodohnya diriku semua data di Drive Dku hancur gara2 salah pengertian serta salah mempartisi diskku via partition Magic hixzz. semuanya sih gak perlu disesali. Toh segala sesuatu memang perlu pengorbanan serta pasti ada harga yang harus dibayar untuk mencapai pengalaman yang terbaik. asal gak selalu salah mulu!!. Juga thanks buat temen lamaku yang ternyata udah duluan make Linux walau beda distro si utuhkulalil aka adit, thanks buat pencerahannya, mas penil aka nila yang sangat membantu, juga itonk yang ngasih banyak hal. terutama juga buat istri + Os yang sangat mengerti serta memahami keadaanku. i love u all
