Coder's Talk Having Fun with Computer, Gadget, Programming, Electrical & Electronic, Robotic and Technology Subscribe via Email September 16, 2008 For those who have starts getting in love with Terminal Console intruth about enzyte Ubuntu, you may love to be able to do everything from the Terminal console. Even if I previously said, I've already bored with the terminal coz I see it every day... I have a lot to say about situations where you only got your terminal console to use programs in linux. But lets keep it short and go straight to the point now. The program to enable you to use Pidgin via Terminal console is called Finch. Finch as in the manual is "A Pimpin’ Penguin console frontend to libpurple Instant Messaging client." Run this command on your terminal to install finch in Ubuntu: After installation, you can now use your Pidgin from the terminal console by running this command on your terminal: As you wish to use terminal, you should already aware that you can't use your mouse (too bad for mousey... LOL). So, you have to be ready with keyboard shortcuts to use this application. Here is the quick list of useful keyboard shortcut to be use within Finch (taken from 'man finch'): Finch: GNT ShortcutShortcut Description
You may now grab your terminal, try and feel it for yourself. For more information, you may simply call "man finch" and read them. That's all for now mate, Enjoy Ubuntu!!

Just edit the /etc/network/interfaces file using any text editor on the server. By default, you should have nano and vi in your Ubuntu Server. The simplest and straight forward text editor is nano. So, use this command: $ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces you should see the default file content like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # The loopback network interface # The primary network interface This is the default network settings on your Ubuntu Server where it use DHCP. So, to set it as static IP. Let say, we wanna setting like this: => Host IP address: 10.1.1.100 You should change the file like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # The loopback network interface # The primary network interface To set the DNS server, edit the /etc/resolv.conf file using this command: $ sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf add the line for nameserver like this: search myisp.com That's all... enjoy!!

It's just because I'm getting busy with my workloads and some stuff to do with Ubuntu Malaysia Community. Now I'm back, and I would like to share with you this cool IDE for programming in Linux called Geany. Geany is a light-weight cross-platform GTK+ text editor based on Scintilla with basic Integrated Development Environment (IDE) features. It is designed to have limited dependency on separate packages and short load times. It is available for a wide range of operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, BSD and Solaris. Among the supported programming languages are (according to the documentation) C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, Python, Perl and Pascal. Geany is one of the more fully-featured editors on the Linux platform, as most Linux editors adopt a more minimalist philosophy. It is similar to Windows editors such as NoteTab or ConTEXT. It is Free Software licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL. ~ Cited From Wikipedia ~ Previously, people use vim, nano or gedit to write codes for linux programming. Even thou there is not much problem in using all these text editors to write codes, productive people will need more things to have that will reduce their work and increase their output. ...Read more |
