What is DNS Crypt ? You may read the preview release here . But its official release is for Mac OSX package only. They release the source at github and i try to find any PPA package for it but i get this from pinowudi blog (http://pinowudi.blogspot.com/2011/12/referring-to-x4s-issue-for-linux.html) . So i want to give a try to build the package.
I try to build the package at my PPA with the help from Mahyuddin Susanto . After finish building the package, i do the testing at my workstation:
$sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fenris/ppa
$ sudo apt-get install dnscrypt-proxy
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dnscrypt-proxy

Need to get 168 kB of archives.
After this operation, 479 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Then i run it with sudo privileges,

fenrisCAD, Technology, Ubuntu
Working at new company and differ environment make me explore and expose to new experience … with the latest concurrent multiple project running …. banking system application , enterprise portal and ICT consulting …
My biggest challenging and experience is working with the Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) engineers, C&S , Architect is they are working on the same format and file that is CAD . So why i say it biggest challenging is i doesn’t know any software that can work in Ubuntu (maybe lack of OSS application knowledge) but i’ve try to find before .. then i have no choice need to work with the proprietary software such as AutoCAD. Luckily today while i browsing my facebook … i saw an advertising banner about FREE CAD software. I then straight away go to the website and reading the information and its saw support multi platform include linux.
http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/free-cad-software/
I straight away download and excited to try in Ubuntu since they already package the installer. After download and try to install , i discover its need some dependencies ,
sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-extra sendmail
sudo dpkg -i DraftSight.deb
Its required an activation so u need to register with your email address and activated it with the given link in your email. Finally ………………….

apport-collect will then go find all the open tasks for that bug (just in case it is assigned to more than one package), run all of the apport-hooks for those packages, and attach that information to the bug report. It does all of this with out any other interaction with the reporter. To see which packages already have apport hooks available for them, see the Apport wiki page. Now, we all need to start adding more apport hooks so this is even more useful.
e.g:
fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ apport-collect -p ubuntuone-client 375249
Logging into Launchpad…
The authorization page (https://edge.launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=mSqpzgwT2G92DdNCSV7J) should be opening in your browser. After you have authorized this program to access Launchpad on your behalf you should come back here and press <Enter> to finish the authentication process.

Edit your /etc/default/bluetooth :
# Defaults for bluez
# start bluetooth on boot?
# compatibility note: If this variable is not found bluetooth will
# start
BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1
# This setting will switch HID devices (e.g mouse/keyboad) to HCI mode, that is
# you will have bluetooth functionality from your dongle instead of only HID.
# Note that not every bluetooth dongle is capable of switching back to HID
# mode, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355497
HID2HCI_ENABLED=1
HID2HCI_UNDO=1
#PAND_ENABLED=0

fenrisComputers, Network, Security, Sophos, Technology Sophos
Sophos has recently launched the beta of Sophos Anti-Virus 7.0 for UNIX. Initially this will be for Solaris 9 & 10 Sparc platform and allows users to centrally control policies, consolidate alerts and view reports etc.
Anyone wishing to join the beta program should contact betaprogram@sophos.com as soon as possible.
But why bother, I hear you ask. Doesn’t malware only affect Windows? So why do I need to add anti-virus to a platform that isn’t affected?
We may note of course that the first internet worm infected UNIX machines, and the first rootkits were trojanised versions of UNIX system utilities. You may say it is ancient history.
More recently our own analysis shows that nearly half the compromised web servers hosting malware are running Apache, and 70% of the infections caught on our linux honeypot are a six year old virus called Rst-B. And the most commonly infected files are trojanised versions of Unix system utilities downloaded by hackers after a successful break-in.
Another good reason is the story of Typhoid Mary . The story goes that a health inspector was investigating an outbreak of Typhoid. His initial report was as follows:
“I had my first talk with Mary in the kitchen of this house. . . . I was as diplomatic as possible, but I had to say I suspected her of making people sick and that I wanted specimens of her urine, feces and blood. It did not take Mary long to react to this suggestion. She seized a carving fork and advanced in my direction. I passed rapidly down the long narrow hall, through the tall iron gate, . . . and so to the sidewalk. I felt rather lucky to escape.�
Using other platforms as files servers, or hosting business critical applications makes a great deal of sense, but although modern malware does target the Windows operating system, protecting any UNIX servers, helps prevent reinfection of those desktops from your very own Typhoid Mary.
You may of course disagree with me and you’re confident that your UNIX servers are clean, in which case why not join the beta program and prove me wrong.
PS. The photo above is of Chris Northwood. Chris is a placement student who is working as a developer on our Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux/UNIX R&D team. Apparently the rest of the team chose Chris for the photoshoot as they thought he looked the smartest of all of them.

fenrisComputers, My Life, Technology, Ubuntu firefox 3.0b5, Foxmark
Here are some screenshot of foxmark:
At last … the addon that i’ve wait already support firefox 3 but its still a beta version.Words from beta.foxmark.com :
Thank you for beta testing Foxmarks for Firefox 3!
Click on the button below to get started. Some important things to remember (see below for details):
- Backup your bookmarks!
- Install this beta client on Firefox 2 as well.
- Read about the latest known issues on the Beta News page.
The current beta client version is: 2.0.44.17
Install this Beta Client on Firefox 2 as Well!
You will need to install the beta client on all your synchronizing browsers, especially Firefox 2. Because Firefox 3 introduces new bookmark data (such as tags and smart bookmarks), the non-beta Foxmarks client may cause synchronization errors, data loss, or both.
Back Up Your Bookmarks
Warning: Both Firefox 3 and the Foxmarks client above are beta products, so there is no guarantee that your bookmarks will not be corrupted or lost. Please backup your bookmarks before you begin, and regularly during the beta program.
To backup bookmarks in Firefox 3:
- From the menu bar select: Bookmarks –> Show All Bookmarks
- A window containing your bookmarks will appear.
Select: Import and Backup –> Backup
- Save the bookmarks file to a safe location.
Exiting the Beta Program
Though we would be sad to see you go, we do understand that not everyone will want to remain in the beta program. Thank you for your help in improving our software.

Repost from : http://melayubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/e-maj-ubuntu-for-malaysian-edisi.html
Dengan rasminya saya disini menerbitkan sebuah majalah elektronik yang saya namakan sebagai “E-Maj Ubuntu for Malaysian” secara PERCUMA untuk ditatap oleh pembaca blog melayubuntu sekelian. Anda bebas review diblog masing-masing, copy dan mengedarkannya, upload ke mana-mana website torrent dan sebagainya diatas semangat ingin mempromosikan ubuntu kepada umum.
Saya telah berfikir akan cara bagaimana untuk monitor akan jumlah download yang akan diterima oleh Edisi Pertama ini namun buntu. Jika sesiapa mempunyai idea, sila bagi respon. Sebarang sumbangan dalam bentuk idea, kritikan konstruktif, design konsep, mahupun wang ringgit adalah dialu-alukan diatas matlamat untuk menghasilkan sesuatu yang lebih baik dari edisi pertama ini.
Edisi pertama ini dihasilkan dengan pelbagai rintangan termasuk keputusan internet, kekurangan sumber, kekurangan pengalaman dan bakat, kesuntukan masa dan sebagainya. Harapan saya, terimalah ia sebagaimana ia telah ada =). Thanks for your support!
Tahniah diucapkan kepada Syahid Zul diatas hasil usahanye … pihak Komuniti Ubuntu Malaysia amat berbangga mempunyai ahli seperti beliau … keep it up bro!!!
