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 ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...
