Unable to load Deluge

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

My experience when installed Deluge which I have installed but unable to load it. For first time when load Deluge, it will require to make some configuration adjustment. If there is any error during the configuration. Your Deluge will not able to load.

So, we need to re-configure the setting. But, the previous adjustment config file have to remove.

Deluge config file store at ~/.config/Deluge/ . Just remove Deluge directory and launch Deluge again and you will prompt for the adjustment configure again. You may decide to backup the directory before remove, but will not have problem if delete it :)

When you have prompted with a message state : You need to have root privileges , when opened an application. There are few ways actually to deal with this,

  1. type $ sudo application_name , to run under root user
  2. type $ gksudo > a screen will display which you may type the application launch command
  3. right click on application properties > Launchers > add gksudo at the command field there. When execute the application next time, it will run under root privileges

Thats it if have some application that require root privileges to do something.

Blank Screen after 10 minute with xserver-xgl

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

How to get rid if the screen turn to blank when watch movie or etc after 10 minute. Well, I checked that it consider a bug when look at launchpad. But, there is a way to work around by add below line to Xorg.conf,

Section “ServerFlags”
Option “blank time” “0″
Option “standby time” “0″
Option “suspend time” “0″
Option “off time” “0″
Option “screen blank” “0″
EndSection

Try again after restart your system.

Animated Appearance at Ubuntu

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

An error appeared when I change the setting of Appearance at my Ubuntu setting;

The Composite extension is not available

Fixed it by install ‘xserver-xgl’ through Synaptic Package Manager. Then you will get your Ubuntu be more animated.

Reason : ATI’s drivers do not directly support Compiz, need to install a piece of software called XGL.

The latest movie I have watched to share. I give 3 our of 5 star for this movie’s rate. You can see lots of fight and fight action among human with blood exhausted vampires. This vampires move fast and silent when hunting, but they can’t fly or turn to bat. Storyline quite similar with previous vampires movie that watched. But will be the first time to see if a human can turn to vampires by injected vampires blood to human body. For wat? To gain power against with those powerful vampires which hard to kill by human during the day without sunlight.

Story line

Producer Sam Raimi (”Spider-Man”) brings audiences the terrifying thriller “30 Days of Night,” set in the isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, in the extreme northern hemisphere, which is plunged into complete darkness annually for an entire month. When most of the inhabitants head south for the winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the town’s residents. As the night wears on, Barrow’s Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight.
