Enable/ Disable Touchpad Ubuntu [GUI Mode]

Like I said in my prev post (Make Touchpad on ASUS Laptop Recognized - http://mynameisthom.blogspot.com/2012/01/make-touchpad-on-asus-laptop-recognized.html), I'd like to share how to enable/ disable touchpad (ASUS laptop) in GUI mode. Exactly, I just following the steps on Using Touchpad-Indicator - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Using_Touchpad-Indicator. I tried it, but it seems not working at all. From the title might be my failure has appear (it's for synaptics dude!). My bad..

Make Touchpad on ASUS Laptop Recognized

I am almost desperated when talking about touchpad-issue on my ASUS A43E laptop. ASUS, is not using Synaptics anymore (in my laptop and mostly ASUS laptop I heard), replaced by Elantech. And, the common Ubuntu still using synaptics by default. The only problem is, the touchpad become unrecognized, and dumbly recognized as PS/2 Logitech mouse :3

After a few day surfing in-out Ubuntu Forums, blogs and websites, finally today (just now) I found a solution on how to enable touchpad (include multi-tap, two finger scrolling, click on tap etc).

Sync Tomboy Notes Ubuntu

I have 1 PCs, 1 netbooks and 1 laptops, I'm working in with. They're all using Linux Mint 11 "Katya". What I'm trying to tell is how can I sync my Tomboy notes each other? Yep. By using internet cloud computing, sounds great enough. Solving my probs. Tapi make aplikasi apa???

Saya udah pernah make Springpad, Scribble dan Quick Note. Itu semua merupakan ekstensi dari Google Chrome, dan bisa offline maupun online (tersinkronisasi). Tapi dalam hati saya, masih tetap ada yang kurang. Dan saya nyaman memakai tomboy notes.

Here's the story : I've ever read (but not tried yet) if tomboy could be synchronized. That time, the tuts was mentioning the sync url is http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy. Yeah, I opened it and because it's soo ugly, I didn't tried it.

A lil while ago, I've tried online sync of Tomboy Notes on better way. Using Ubuntu One. I got that info from https://one.ubuntu.com/help/tutorial/install-and-setup-notes-sync/, #areare¹ If only I knew it from the first time :3

Enable/ Disable Touchpad on Ubuntu 11.04

Exactly, I am using Linux Mint 11 'Katya'. But, just never mind it, since it based on Ubuntu 11.04. Just unity-less and layouts customization *that's why I'm using it*.

I got a new laptop, like I said yesterday. It's ASUS A43E. After spending almost one-day-full on installing some softwares and a little customization, one thing disturbing me. I could not disable it. Usually, it can be done by pressing 'Fn' combination key. But not. Even if I pressed it many times, it wouldn't go disable.

Until, I surfed the other day (exactly, its today), and found some discussion on Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592273). There are some tricks there. The first thing I trid is  installing the GUI-way, using touchpad-indicator software from ppa, which still gimme no difference. It wasn't work for my ASUS A43E. I found this link (http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/05/how-to-disable-enabletouchpad-in-ubuntu.html -- natty installation steps' version) if you want to try. Maybe you'll get some lucks, since the comments said mostly works just fine. My bad, it was not working on me.

So, I back to the Ubuntu Forums page I found, and try the below steps. At least, these some lines works fine..

The Secret of WGET : Keampuhan WGET

Siapa yang belum kenal sama wget, cung!
Apa itu wget? Buat apa? Emang penting? Kenapa wget?
Sabar.. Semua itu akan saya bahas di sini.

[Asal mula]
Friday. January 13th, 2012
Nothing wrong in that date. Menurut takhayul Barat, angka 13 merupakan angka sial. Apalagi harinya Friday. Takhayul Barat meyakini angka 13 adalah angka sial dan Jum'at adalah hari jelek. Lagi-lagi takhayul, jika dua hal tersebut bertemu jadi satu, berarti #uwow. Tapi nyatanya ndak tuh..

maaf mas, nyela.. Ini hubungannya sama wget apa ya?
#Grrr... Diam dulu to. Ini baru pemanasan alias warming-up. Ntar akhirnya juga nyampe ke intinya. Sampai mana tadi? Umm.. *mikir*

Jadi, di Friday 13th ini saya malah mendapatkan keberuntungan. Salah satu diantaranya adalah saya dapet laptop baru dari pak bos Albert Pratama #yay. Singkat cerita, tuh laptop saya install-i Linux Mint 11 "Katya". Bedanya dari versi yang di laptop saya yang satunya ataupun yang di PC yang di kosan, terletak pada architecture-nya. Yang ini 64-bit bo'.. Jadinya, gak cocok deh dengan koleksi software yang saya punya.

RabbitVCS : A TortoiseSVN Like On Linux

Sebenarnya saya sudah pernah melakukan instalasi RabbitVCS ini di lappie saya. Cuman, seperti instalasi software yang belum masuk repo; saya ndak begitu hapal dengan alamat reponya. Prinsipnya, selama masih bisa akses Google, everything is OK :D Tapi, kemudian kok rasa-rasanya gimanaaa gitu kalo harus terlalu bergantung pada mbah yang satu itu. Kan, udah pernah install, kok ya mau install lagi aja musti pusing cari link. Kalo saya posting di sini kan mending kan yak. Pertama, saya punya catatan --mempersempit ruang gerak. Kedua, kali aja ada yang butuh juga, terus nyasar di sini. Siapa tau membantu..
