Masih Banyak Pe-Er

Mungkin karena ada terjemahan di upstream yang belum digabung ke launchpad, mungkin juga karena menterjemahkan itu pekerjaan yang membosankan, sulit, dan tidak glamour, mungkin juga karena yang mampu menterjemahkan tidak merasa perlu membantu pemakai Ubuntu pada khususnya, dan Linux pada umumnya, dengan anggapan tidak ada yang membutuhkan terjemahan ...

Tak apalah. Sedikit demi sedikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit. Ayo kita cicil!

Yay! Suspend2 Will Be Merged Into Mainline

I like to use suspend2 to do hibernation aka STD (suspend to disk) on Linux, and today, a very important step has been taken to start merge it into mainline kernel.

Rafael said

Now, I think that the hibernation should better be done completely in the
kernel, because that's just conceptually simpler, although some data exchange
with the user land may be acceptable for some optional fancy stuff.  I'm also
tierd of the endless "to merge or not to merge suspend2" discussions that just
lead to nowhere.  For these reasons I declare that I'm ready to cooperate with
Nigel on integrating as much of suspend2 as reasonably possible into the
existing infrastructure, under the following conditions:
- we don't remove the existing user-visible interfaces
- we work on one piece of code at a time
- we avoid code duplication, as much as possible
- we avoid using open-coded things, if possible
- if we don't agree on something, we ask someone wiser (volunteers welcome ;-))

If that's acceptable, we can start tomorrow.  In the process, we can try to
separate the hibernation code paths from the s2ram ones, but that will require
a lot of knowledge about things that neither me nor Nigel, AFAICT, are very
familiar with, like writing device drivers. 

And Nigel answered:

I don't want to remove user visible interfaces either (I understand that
you mean the ioctls by that?). Perhaps we can find a way to make them
still usable with a more in-kernel solution (ie some things become
noops?).

> - we work on one piece of code at a time

Sure. We should spend some time discussing and planning beforehand so we
don't waste time and effort writing and rewriting.

> - we avoid code duplication, as much as possible

No problem there.

> - we avoid using open-coded things, if possible

Regarding open-coded things, I assume you're referring to the extents. I
would argue that they're not open-coded because list.h implements doubly
linked lists, and extents use a singly linked list. That said, I suppose
we could make the extents doubly linked and use list.h, even though that
would be a waste of 4/8 bytes per extent.

> - if we don't agree on something, we ask someone wiser (volunteers welcome ;-))

Absolutely!

Code::Blocks for Debian

I wonder why nobody try to package Code::Blocks, a good, GUI, IDE into Debian. It was wnpp-ed long time ago (April 2005), then abandoned. The easy alternative is to use Ubuntu's which have been actively developed. Instaling them into Debian Sid was very smooth. But then I said to myself, "Why wouldn't I try compile it myself?". I tried, and it was a rather frustrating experience :(

My result so far: succes on Debian Etch AMD64. Big failure on Debian Sid i386. We need this tiny patch to compile it in Debian:

In Sid i386, preparation process by running bootstrap always failed with this uncommunicative error messages:

src/base/tinyxml/Makefile.am:6: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
src/base/tinyxml/Makefile.am:6:
src/base/tinyxml/Makefile.am:6: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
src/base/tinyxml/Makefile.am:6: to `configure.in' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.

So I tried alternative: run bootstrap on Ubuntu Dapper AMD64, apply above patch, then continue build fakeroot debian/rules binary. Voila! We got a native Debian one!

Update April 4th, 2007
I found the culprit: libtool from experimental. After downgrading back to sid, everything's fine now.

Debian di Acer Aspire 5583 NWXMi

Dokumentasi tentang instalasi Debian di notebook Acer Aspire 5583 NWXMi saya pasang di web, bukan blog, karena sifat dokumennya yang relatif statik, tetapi beberapa bagian akan di-update.

Halaman tersebut saya informasikan juga ke pengelola situs Linux on Laptop dan Linux With Laptops, Notebooks, PDAs and Mobile Cell Phones, agar pemakai laptop yang sama/serupa dan mengalami masalah instalasi, lebih mudah mencari informasi. Apakah anda punya pengalaman serupa dan sudah mendokumentasi serta mempublikasikannya?
