Desktop Experience: Bug Fix

Because of the modularization of X.org 7.0, you must make directory named default in directory "/usr/share/icons". You can copy "index.theme" from "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default" into that directory. So, you may enjoy the default mouse theme. For compability, you could just make a symlink. This is the way it is:
# sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/default
# ln -s /usr/X11/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme /usr/share/icons/default
Now, you can enjoy your new cursor. The default install still use the old fashion to install default setting.

For nVidia, besides TNT2, all gfx card from nVidia should use nvidia-glx not the legacy one. The info in the given link is rather false.

Now, I get myself addictive into KDE because of their kcompmgr. I can configure my menu, panel, and apps to have shadow and cool fade animation. I admit defeat on gnome. *sigh*

I hope those boys and gals at metacity can implement better. Now, I must admit that I'm a KDE user.

Btw, blender still doesn't know GLX. It's because my VGA card (nVIDIA GeFORCE 2 MX 400) are considered as legacy system. *Hiks* :)

[edit]
The problem is I never put "EnableGLXWithComposite" option in my "xorg.conf". That's why I never have my GLX enabled (which is default for nVidia cards). Now, with the option enabled, I have my both GLX and composite run with charm. Spookie!

With kcompmgr enabled, I have beautiful desktop experience at home which is more beautiful than Windoze!

Ubuntu Dapper Drake would be a great masacre to another desktop, imo. With just the development version I have, the desktop greatly improved and responsived. Can't wait the final version.

One thing, how do I enable SELinux on the kernel? (Don't worry this is geek stuff, don't ever terrified by the question)

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
