Send Mail Using SSMTP on Ubuntu

Send Mail Using SSMTP. Just another log of one of my activities :D

Currently, I set up my desktop computer to be able to send email. Not from browser, but from the system. 

So, I am using ssmtp with a guide from a quite-old-post from Tom Dryer in tombuntu.com. I've set up my laptop before with it, and works. And after a while, I need to set up my desktop, and I forgot, and I got back to Tom's post :D

How To

Well, we need to install SSMTP first
sudo apt-get install ssmtp

then, we need to change the configuration, located in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. My configuration is like this :

Right Click Panel on Gnome Classic session Ubuntu 12.04

Ubuntu 12.04, with code name 'Precise Pangolin' has been released a while ago. But since I am not a fan of Unity and hate must be install the-codec-thing, so, I'm waiting the release of Linux Mint 'Maya' with Cinnamon Desktop Environment. But after I tried it, it didn't comfort me. In short, I uninstalled the Cinnamon, leaving the Linux Mint 'Maya' with Gnome Classic. Yeah,, It most comfortable with me.

After trying for a while, I just stucked on how can I move the panel bar? The Maya's default was placing it at the bottom of the monitor. I just wanna move it, just like my prev Linux Mint 11 (and I intend to give it a global menu applet).

OK. Here is the way  to solve it! I got this from my own experience and a lil bit help from Stackoverflow, which I forgot the link.
  1. Move the bar - Press alt + click + drag
  2. Show right click menu. Press win/ super button + alt + right click panel
So, that's it! Or if you are using Maya with Mate version, it wouldn't be that strange.

[Ubuntu] Reading LIT File

Today, I've been confused by a lil file with *.lit extension. After did a google for a second, finally I know if *.lit file is proprietary extension, like usual, work under win-thing. The file I've talking about is an ebook file, in *.lit format. Damn. So irritating.

I've watched and found some command-line way, but I just dont like the way they 'hack' it. I'm GUI man :D At least, for something easy (I just wanna read the ebook!) like this, should I use command line? Using script? Nope thank you. I believe there must be always another way. Like what I wrote here :P

So, here is another way. The logic is, in Windows environment, there should be a reader. So, I just search it and I got it already, Microsoft Reader.

Tadaaa : Prime Time

Umm.. better if I serve the steps this way :

  1. I assumed you've already installed wine. It's a must. Download the Ms-Reader installer file here
  2. Once you've downloaded it, installed it thru' wine.
    Note : usually you must do 'chmod +x' first to the file to make it executable before you can run it
  3. If it's installed already, we cann't use it yet. Just a lil bit longer. We need to hack it first. Blame Microsoft for the damn-activate-thing.. >.<
  4. We need no get a file called msvcirt.dll in order to make the reader work. Get it here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcirt or if you wanna get your own way, google it.
  5. Next, just extract the file you've download and dump it into /home/your_username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Reader/
    *change your_username with your computer username of course.
  6. And done! Here we go.. :P

[SOLVED] Hibernate on Ubuntu with ASUS A43E

This afternoon (4.07 PM, GMT +7), I am playing with my ASUS Laptop. This time, I still wonder why this laptop can not hibernate properly. My prob was after clicking hibernate button, it is hibernating like usual, but when the resume time, it just gimme blank screen. And it means, sadly, I've got to hit the power button. So far, I used to just suspend the machine. But I'm not satisfy with just suspend! I need more. Let's say, I've a hibernate button and it's useless. So, what the purpose of it? An accessory? Grrrr.. Don't say this is an April fool, since on my ACER netbook the hibernate works great.

What I dislike of suspend is, it's consuming battery so much.. It's like not different than when it's not suspended. Grrr..

I've been googled in my free time. Do some hacks, based on their solution, till I was bored because still not worked. But then, this day God gimme a way. For you guys, the key is keep searching/ asking.. :)

The Solution

Exactly, I can't post the proper solution here because of the hardware/ others reason. But, here you are, my savior link. Might be it could be useful for you who facing the same issue as me. Just, I dont guarantee  it will work on you. Like I said, depends on your machine spec or other reasons. Just dont give up and keep trying! :)

Note : My OS is exactly Linux Mint 11 'Katya'. But, I called 'Ubuntu' since Mint is its derivative..

Memblock Facebook

Siapa yang gak kenal Facebook? Bahkan anak-anak SD pun sekarang sudah punya akun Facebook. Teman saya bahkan sudah membuatkan akun Facebook untuk anaknya yang baru beberapa bulan lahir. Keren..

Enough with the chit-chat. Di saat orang - orang pada keranjingan Facebook, saya pengen membagi cara membloknya melalui cara termudah. Yah, dengan konsekuensi, tidak dirubah balik konfigurasinya karena ini merupakan cara termudah tadi :D

Kenapa musti di blok?
Saya mungkin tergolong orang dengan low-self-control. Tipe orang yang kalau pas seneng, keranjingan sampe bosan. Atau kalau benci, ya benci banget. Kind of that person. Begitu pun dengan masalah Facebook ini. Gara gara ada bahasan OOT di group Facebook yang saya ikuti, saya jadi sering bolak balik cek akun Facebook guna sekedar liat-perkembangan-terbaru. Efek sampingnya, otomatis saya kadang menggadaikan waktu kerja/ istirahat dan sebagainya.. It's all because of Facebook! Untungnya, saya juga tipe orang yang bisa self-motivated. That's why I need to block it!

Caranya?
Note : Saya make Linux, distro Linux Mint. Tapi pada dasarnya, semua Linux sama sih *makanya saya lebih merujuk ke 'linux'-nya daripada ke 'mint' (merek)-nya.
