El equipo de desarrolladores de digiKam no para de trabajar para dotar de más funciones al magnífico software de gestión de fotografías de KDE.
Hace un par de días lanzaron la primera beta de Digikam Software Collection 2.6.0, que logicamente no está preparada para ser utilizada de forma profesional ya que presentará un buen número de errores pero muestra el camino hacia el lanzamiento de una nueva versión de la aplicación.
No son muchas las novedades de esta nueva versión, entre ellas:

Faptul că România a semnat un tratat ce ridică multe semne de întrebare în ceea ce priveşte intimitatea utilizatorilor de internet nu mai este ceva nou. Este deajuns să căutaţi pe Google folosind cuvintele cheie România şi ACTA şi o să fiţi uimiţi de numărul mari de bloguri, ediţii online de ziare şi chiar posturi tv care semnalizează acest lucru precum şi efectele sale negative. Începând de azi Comunitatea openSUSE România se alătură tuturor celor care se opun adoptării ACTA şi vă recomandă să semnaţi petiţia online creată de organizaţia Avaaz, petiţie ce va fi trimisă Parlamentului European. Acest tratat va fi supus votului final al Parlamentului European in luna iunie.
Spre bucuria unora şi sau dezamăgirea altora Mozilla a lansat de curând cea mai nouă versiune a navigatorului de internet Firefox, anume versiunea 10. Schimbările notabile ale acestei versiuni sunt următoarele: Most add-ons are now compatible with new versions of Firefox by default; The forward button is now hidden until you navigate back; Anti-Aliasing for WebGL is now implemented; CSS3 3D-Transforms are now supported. O listă completă cu schimbările şi problemele rezolvate de versiunea 10 le aveţi prezentate în cadrul acestei pagini. În paralel cu această versiune Mozilla a mai lansat si versiunea 10 ESR, aceasta fiind dedicată mai ales şcolilor, organizaţiilor sau companiilor şi oferă un suport prin actualizări pe durata unui an întreg.
Utilizatorii de openSUSE ce folosesc versiunile 11.4 şi 12.1 pot obţine Mozilla Firefox 10 adăugând sursa de pachete numită “openSUSE BuildService – Mozilla”, prin deschiderea Yast, respectiv Software Repositories -> Add -> Community Repositories -> selectarea sursei de pachete Mozilla prin bifare -> OK ptr adăugare -> în final OK ptr salvare. După ce aţi adăugat sursa de pachete actualizarea implică deschiderea unui terminal în care se efectuează comezile sudo zypper refresh şi respectiv sudo zypper dup. Pentru aceeia dintre voi mai îndrăzneţi openSUSE vă oferă şi pachete precompilate cu versiunea 10 ESR prin intermediul unei surse de pachete experimentale. Pachetele sunt disponibile pentru versiunile 11.4 şi 12.1.
Noticias que sencillamente no dejan de sorprenderme, más en éste mundo donde la información se repite una y otra y otra vez cuando a seguridad de tu información se trata. ¿Recuerdan que el gran problema que hubo en Noruega cuando la contraseña para el sistema de agua potable era 0-0-0-0?
Bueno, recientemente hackers de Anonymous vulneraron cuentas de correo electrónico de la presidencia siria.
Aunque para muchos podría verse como una gran hazaña informática, realmente no lo es. En muchos casos todo esta tan fácil que solo hay que saber que puerta tocar, como fue para el presidente sirio Bashar al-Assad, quien enfrenta dificultades de todo tipo, donde no sólo ha incurrido su régimen en graves violaciones a los derechos humanos, motivando condena internacional, sino también los hacktivistas de Anonymous han expuesto información interna luego de intervenir cuentas de correo electrónico de asesores presidenciales.
La información proviene del periódico israelí Haaretz, donde se explica que varias de las cuentas intervenidas por Anonymous estaban protegidas por la contraseña 12345″.
La contraseña 123456″ es la segunda peor contraseña del mundo, y la del presidente ni siquiera tenía el 6.
En fin, recuerden que crear una contraseña difícil de vulnerar es extremadamente fácil, en orden de proteger su información a los ataques más comunes del mundo informático.
FOSDEM was awesome this year. We had an overbooked schedule for our DevRoom, we inaugurated the beautiful and fantastic K building, and i got to present the lima driver.
First off, i would like to thank the FOSDEM organizers and the ULB. The already unique event that is FOSDEM just keeps getting better and better. Pascal & friends: congratulations, like every year, you've outdone yourselves.
Secondly, i would like to thank all the speakers in my devroom. It is clear by now why the first-come-first-serve algorithm has to be used, and it is also clear that it is working. But thank you all for making this a successful event (even Chris, who couldn't make it due to a train derailment). I hope you guys had a lot of fun too, both during your talk and with the rest of FOSDEM.
Lastly, to all those who attended my talk (and those who couldn't get in anymore as well): Thank you all for your very positive feedback. No matter what happens with lima in future, this talk will be the most memorable moment. (oh, and a big thanks to Will Stephenson, from SuSE and KDE, for getting a webcam up that quickly). To whoever shouted something along the lines of "we don't see that, it looks like a perfect cube to us" when the caching went off in the rotating cube hack: this is the open source spirit in its most tangible form. Thank you very much.
To end this post, let me plug the lima website again. We also have a mailinglist and the #lima channel on freenode. The limare code has been available since yesterday night. Heise and lwn posted the story already, and the videos from the FOSDEM talk should soon hit phoronix as well.
To keep myself warm, I purchased nice "beurer hk25" heating pad. According to their manual, it is "thoroughly tested" and "high-quality" product. It was supposed to have three temperature
settings... but in fact it has three power settings, with emergency overtemp fuse that renders the pad useless. Uncool :-(. [Pad is connected by two wires to the control unit]. It was not exactly cheap, either.
I expected some kind of switching/tyristor control, but apparently control unit just contains resistors, so it "may heat up" and "may not be covered". Oops. I thought that controlling 100W of heat is not a rocket science.
But that was not biggest surprise. Biggest surprise was that heating pad is actually able to induce enough electricity in the human body to be felt. Just touch another person, and her skin appears appears to vibrate very rapidly.
Now, the manual does have a lot of warnings; but "don't touch another person while using this" is not there. (Ok, the warnings mostly say "this can not be used at all"). One of warnings describes possible pacemaker interference, and lists electrical specs: 5000V/m electric
field strength, 80A/m magnetic field strength, 0.1mT magnetic flux density.
Except that values listed are not actual values produced by the pad, but limits from health regulations. So this does not do help me determining if this device is designed to introduce interesting sensations, or if my device is somehow faulty.
(Not sure how I should be measuring this, anyway. So far I know that multimeter indicates cca 2V AC between me and ground when it is on, so I know I'm not imaginging this, but....)
Now, I don't think this is unavoidable. Including AC/DC converter would be one possible solution... right?
Desde la página de actuable (a la que puedes acceder pinchando en este enlace: http://actuable.es ) conozco la siguiente noticia. Resulta que las imágenes y derechos del mítico discurso de Martin Luther King que empezaba con “I have a dream” y con el que consiguió reclamar atención ante la situación de discriminación que sufrian los afroamericanos en EEUU, el país de las oportunidades (para algunos) “pertenece” a la compañía SONY/EMI. Y son ellos los que deciden a quien y en qué condiciones le licencian el derecho de utilizarlo, reproducirlo, etc. Una situación demencial (otra más) a la que lleva esta situación de licencias, piraterías, derechos de autor, etc…
Desde esta página de Actuable, se ha llevado una campaña para reclamar a SONY/EMI que no se adueñen de ideas, discursos, imágenes, etc que no les corresponden. Que licencien esas imágenes y sonidos como de libre uso y difusión, algo que sin duda era lo que quería Martin Luther King. Que su mensaje, y sus ideas llegasen al mayor número de personas, para difundir su idea, y no que quedase a merced de unos directivos que sólo piensan en dividendos, y en cómo mantener sus antiguos negocios de mercado basado en restricciones y en penalizar a quien comparte cultura, a quien denomina “piratas”. Yo creo que son ellos los piratas al rapiñar de esa manera ese mensaje y comercializar con el.
Transcribo aquí en artículo de Actuable, al que puedes acceder pinchando este enlace: http://actuable.es/peticiones/sony-emi-liberad-discurso-i-have-dream-martin y mandar una petición a SONY/EMI para que libere los derechos de ese mensaje, y esas imágenes… y no se adueñe y comercialice con ideas que no le pertenecen: Entra y firma la petición.
Soy Yasmin Gabriel, una activista afroamericana por los derechos civiles. A través de esta petición estoy reclamando a Sony/EMI que renuncie voluntariamente a sus derechos de copyright sobre la grabación del discurso “I have a dream” de Martin Luther King, para que la misma pueda pasar por fin a formar parte del dominio público.
El uso comercial de este simbólico discurso contradice las propias palabras de Luther King pronunciadas el 28 de agosto de 1963. Y es evidente que Luther King no quería que las empresas vendiesen este discurso, algo que quedó claro en diciembre de 1963 cuando demandó a Mister Maestro Inc. y Twientieth Century Fox Records Company para que detuviesen la venta no autorizada de su discurso “I have a dream”.
Si como yo te emocionas cada vez que escuchas la grabación de estas famosas palabras de Martin Luther King, entonces, en nombre de su legado, firma esta petición para dejar claro a Sony/EMI que deberían liberar voluntariamente su copyright. No podemos permitir que unas palabras que simbolizan en todo el mundo la lucha …

This post has been long overdue. I have been meaning to post since a long time, but it has got delayed due to some or the other reason. The last few months have been great. I completed most of the code for my OBS widgets, and quite a lot of the errors in pulling the data from the API have been taken care off, but still some minor irritating bugs exist. Also, the task of packaging the widgets remains.
After nearly a month of it’s release, I installed the KDE version of openSUSE 12.1. The installation bugged me a lot, and I had some problems setting it up. After the installation finished, I knew why openSUSE is the best KDE distribution. The branding is just awesome, and everything works seamlessly. I spent nearly two hours playing just with Activities, and the Netbook interface. All seemed well, till I started getting Kernel messages, and after that, all hell broke loose. I kept getting messages from syslogd, and the system used to hang up after that. I attempted a reinstall, and things seemed to work better, but the messages didnt subside. I need to get my system serviced for Hardware Problems now.
I applied for a talk on ‘Developing OSC Plugins’ at FOSDEM under the Distributions Devroom. My talk got approved, but I had to pull out of the talk due to some constraints. It was quite gutting not to be able to attend a major conference. I followed the talk via Twitter, and the Live Streams, and specially liked Adrian’s talk on the OBS. I would surely try and make it to the conference the next time.
Google Summer of Code 2012 has been announced, and I have begun my preparations in full fervor. I have chalked out a plan, and have begun checking out the list of projects, and interacting with communities. I hope to finally participate this year, and get a great project with loads to learn, and have a cracking summer
Chrome ist nun in Version 17 verfügbar und wird auch über die Quellen ausgerollt. Eine Neuerung sticht (für mich) besonders hervor: Ab jetzt kann auch in Flash-Videos die Werbung geblockt werden (mittels Adblock) Sollte man schon Adblock nutzen, wird die Option automatisch aktiviert.
FOSDEM 2012 is just round the corner and, as you might know, LibreOffice will have a DevRoom this year too. And, as it was already publicized, your servant and Eilidh McAdam of libvisio fame will attend too. The goal of this event will be to help you to become a LibreOffice developer, by helping you to get your first contact with the code from inside.
How to prepare for the event?
In order to give as many community members the possibility to speak, the presentations will not take more then 15 minutes each. But we will be there for one-to-one contacts and hacking goodness. If you are interested in contributing to our new Visio import filter, or the upcomming Corel Draw and MS Publisher filters, here is what you can do:
git clone git://libwpd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libwpd/libwpd)git clone -b STABLE-0-2-0 git://libwpg.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libwpg/libwpg)git clone git://libwps.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libwps/libwps)git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/libvisio), andgit clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libcdr)--with-system-libwpd--with-system-libwpg--with-system-libwps--with-system-libvisio--with-system-libcdrWith this kind of build, you will be ready to make the most from your Brussels weekend. Nevetheless, you can drop around at our IRC channel #libreoffice-dev channel at irc.freenode.net for more information and ideas.
Starting to do it instead of planning to do it ...
... is the best way to enter the FOSS development. That is why your servant and Eilidh will be around to hold your hand with debugging and finding way to implement your favourite features. We will answer your questions about the library design. We will point you to the place in the code where your bug might linger. And for more complicated stuff, we will debug it with you.
Don't expect us to give you a fish, but we will certainly teach you how to catch it by yourself. And in the same token, you will become a contributor inside a community of smart people that is fun to hang and hack with.
See you in Brussels the 4th and 5th of February 2012.
Since infamous erasing of factory calibration in my ColorHug device and restoring calibration matrix, I noticed it did screen calibration wrong. However I did not find time to properly investigate the issue. Yesterdays mail from Richard was actually trigger for me so I've opened up this topic.
In the end it turned out to be caused by Little CMS wrongly parsing CCMX in case you are using locales which use something else than . as decimal point.
After lot of googling, I've realized there is probably no good way of parsing floats independent on current locales, so I used one of hacks I found and I think it's less intrusive - get current decimal point by printing float string using printf and then convert the string to it. I know it looks ugly, but including own implementation of strtod is also not nice and playing with locales is definitely something not thread safe to do within widely used library.
Anyway I've asked upstream to merge my patches, so let's see what they think of it.

Imagine there is a GPL’d open source project, going strong for more than 10 years, with more than 50 contributors. Now a company comes along and registers the name of the project as a trademark with the clear intention of suing people using this name to sell equipment with the software preloaded.
They are not contributing to the project.
Is there anything the project can do about that?
The opposition deadline (german: “Widerspruchsfrist”) is not over yet.
Oh - and of course they are blatant GPL violators, linking the project’s GPL’d software against closed source libraries which in turn use closed source kernel drivers, ship a U-Boot version of which nobody has ever seen the sources and so on, but that’s a different story.
Okular, el magnífico visor de un buen número de formatos como PDF, Postscript, DjVu, CHM, XPS, ePub y algunos otros menos famosos, sigue evolucionando.
En menos de una semana, Albert Astals (mantenedor actual y presidente de KDE España) ha anunciado una excelente característica para KDE 4.9 y ha pedido ayuda para mejorar la aplicación.
Okular ahora entiende los guiones
A partir de la versión de KDE 4.9, Okular será capaz de buscar palabras que tengan guiones para partirlas en dos líneas.
Más información: tsdgeos en castellano
Pero, ¿Cómo copiamos los textos con guiones?
La petición de ayuda es sobre como debería responder el programa con el siguiente caso:
El equipo de Okular nos preguntamos que debería pasar si tienes dos líneas con el siguiente texto

Bonjour,
Ce weekend, pour la deuxième fois, je suis allé au FOSDEM : la « réunion européenne des développeurs de logiciels libres et open source ».
Arrivé le samedi matin dans l’immense amphithéâtre de l’ULB, l’Université Libre de Bruxelles, pour la conférence d’introduction.
L’un des bâtiment, joli sous la neige :
J’ai fait, comme tout le monde, mon petit programme en choisissant parmi les très nombreuses conférences qui avaient lieu en parallèle.
Voici, entre autre, la présentation « Deep Dive into KDE Mobile » par Laszlo Papp :
Il a abordé les différents ports d’applications KDE vers Maemo/MeeGo/Mer, et bien sur Plasma active.
La conférence Telepathy in KDE par David Edmundson et Martin Klapetek :
KDE Telepathy est au stade de développement mais le gros du travail a été fait, la base est là, maintenant les développeurs cherchent à ajouter quelques fonctionnalités demandées et à assurer la stabilité de l’ensemble.
Le stand openSUSE, au matin du samedi, il n’y avait pas encore grand monde, parce qu’ensuite, avec leur bières et teeshirts à 1€ le succès était garanti !
Le stand KDE avec de beaux teeshirts :
Je n’ai pas pu y retourner le dimanche, je n’ai donc pas assisté aux conférences openSUSE, j’attends de voir si elles ont été filmées.
N’hésitez pas à venir l’année prochaine, c’est vraiment un évènement énorme et il y a des présentations pour tous les gouts, des sujets non techniques aux sujets très pointus.

Une news de l’équipe openSUSE su le même sujet : http://news.opensuse.org/2012/02/08/opensuse-at-fosdem/
As promised, I’m blogging periodically to update you all on the progress of our soon-to-be-named openSUSE conference in Florida.
With our naming poll closing this Saturday (11-February), the naming poll is getting pretty exciting. A last minute entry is gaining popularity and it looks like possibly it will be a toss-up between two proposed names before the poll ends. If you haven’t voted yet, why not? Vote here.
On IRC, mails, and directly on our planning wiki page, people are volunteering to be a part of the planning. On the wiki page, you’ll see we’ve solidifed the types of committees we need and added some good notes to relevant committees. People have volunteered whether or not they think they can actually make it to the conference. A good show that just because you may not actually be there, that doesn’t lessen your value within the community.
I’m especially excited to see some good diversity on the program committee. Itxshell, from Honduras, is joining Alan Clark, Drew Adams and myself and will give us good mileage toward our goal of making this a great bi-lingual conference. We want to make this a welcoming experience for both English and Spanish speakers, both languages have high presence in the area.
Many of the committees that have immediate tasks to perform are moving along at a good pace after our kickoff meeting last week. However, one immediate need is the sponsorship committee. This is a vital function that needs to be organized in the very near future. As we have said already, we cannot expect guaranteed funds to cover all our conference expenses and we want to reach out to potential sponsor donors to help fund the conference as well as any possible travel sponsorships. If you can join the sponsorship committee, everyone would be ever so grateful. 
As said, our naming poll ends this Saturday. At that point, we’ll be able to move quickly with setting up our conference web page, promotional posters and flyers to distribute to events, and other things that depend on having a formal name attached to the event. Andi Silva is already hard at work coming up with designs for our posters and flyers.
Alan Clark has done a nice job of compiling a list of LUGS in the Florida area that can help our organizing efforts. I think we should expand that to include neighboring states since they’re so close by.
Alexia, the conference manager for SUSECon, will be making a trip sometime in the near future to do ground scouting of the area near the hotel. We’ll get some good information back about what resources exist in the neighborhood and a better idea for the lay of the land. This is going to be useful for when we add location information to our website for attendees.
It is my hope that we make a formal …
Yesterday I woke up to the news that Canonical are no longer going to fund Riddell to work on Kubuntu. I've trying to figure out what that means for KDE and for community Linux generally.
Disclaimer: I work in the same role as Jonathan at SUSE, a competing Linux company that sponsors the openSUSE project. This is my personal opinion, not that of the openSUSE Board or SUSE Linux GmbH.
I'm sad for Jonathan personally. He has put a lot of his lifeblood into Kubuntu over the years, at no little cost to himself, and to be pulled off one's favourite project hurts. The same thing could happen to me if the powers that be decide, so I can easily empathise with him.
In the bigger picture, I have to say that this doesn't surprise me at all. For Canonical, Kubuntu fulfilled its purpose a few years ago already. Kubuntu, and the other official Ubuntu derivatives, have always been a spoiler move to tie up community contributors who believed in the early community-centric image of Ubuntu, but who didn't agree with the main Ubuntu's direction. Otherwise, there was the risk that Ubuntu design decisions would polarize the Linux community and send people towards Ubuntu's competitors. With the derivatives, they are safely occupied under the big tent of the Ubuntu brand.
If we look back at the Ubuntu game plan as history neatly lays it out for us, we have
1) Establish the Ubuntu brand amongst early adopters (check, by about 2005)
2) Expand it to the wider Linux user base (check, by about 2007)
3) Make Ubuntu the default Linux for non-technical users (2009)
4) Tie up a paying market. Initial targets have been enterprise desktop Linux (maybe next year ;)) or consumers in the massmarket netbook segment (but that was squashed by tablets and Microsoft rounding up the manufacturer back to the XP prison), and now they are aiming at embedding into consumer electronics (TVs) and will probably snare a tablet OEM as a cloud OS (hell, if KDE can do it...) or a bookseller or someone who wants a platform to digitally sell something else off of.
5) Profit
6) Buy more spaceflight (Probably. For some, 5) is enough)
Somewhere after 1), the massive demand for KDE on Ubuntu in KDE's main territories (Germany, via the ubuntu.de forums, which IIRC threatened an unofficial fork) caused Canonical to realise that it was better to control a large dissenting minority with some token gestures than to have them really doing their own thing. So Jonathan, at that point a KDE packager at Debian, was hired, and Mark Shuttleworth did his salesman job at a couple of KDE events making some insubstantial promises (If I had a dollar for every KDE eV board member at the time who told me "But Mark has promised to install and use Kubuntu on his workstation" multiplied by every Ubuntu developer overheard chuckling that "But they don …
It's almost been a year since we launched our EC2 management page which allows for uploading your appliances to the Amazon cloud. We are constantly improving and extending it, but up to now it has been lacking integration with SUSE Gallery.
If you wanted to run an appliance from Gallery in EC2 you had to clone and build an EC2 image of it first. In order to improve this workflow we came up with this:
De mano de Karggest conozco la noticia, traigo aqui un extracto traducido. Si quieres ver la noticia oficial, pincha este enlace: http://www.suse.com/company/press/2012/2/suse-celebrates-20th-anniversary-in-2012.html
“Los orígenes de SUSE se remontan a septiembre de 1992 cuando 3 estudiantes universitarios de matemáticas y un recién graduado ingeniero de software (Roland Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Burchard Steinbild, and Hubert Mantel) formaron una compañía para desarrollar softwarey funcionar como un grupo asesor de Unix. Viendo el potencial que tenía el entonces incipiente Linux se ofrecen al apoyo y desarrollo de este. Se elige el nombre de “SuSE” como acrónimo de un término alemán que significa desarrollo de software y sistemas “Software und Systementwicklung” . El nombre fue acortándose con el tiempo quedando en SUSE.
SUSE tiene una larga trayectoria de servicio contribución a un gran número de proyectos de código abierto. Uno de los mayores y más influyentes es el proyecto de openSUSE ®, que fue establecido en 2005. El software de soporte comercial de Linux de SUSE siempre se había desarrollado y distribuido bajo los modelos de código abierto y licencias, pero openSUSE abrió aún más los procesos de desarrollo, permitiendo a los programadores y usuarios para probar y ayudar a contribuir al desarrollo de su comunidad y las versiones comerciales. “
Buena noticia para los usuarios de Linux, que SUSE siga siendo un referente en desarrollo de software basado en Linux con sus productos para servidores, que sigue estanto entre los más utilizados. Esperemos que el proyecto siga adelante durante muchos más años! Mas info en wikipedia.

Masih berkaitan dengan artikel saya tentang backup membackup, kali ini saya akan menyajikan cara membackup file-file anda menggunakan program penduplikat file berbasis GUI yaitu déjà dup.
Install Déjà Dup
Déjà Dup sudah menjadi tool backup default di LinuxMint 12, jika anda menggunakan Linuxmint 11 anda dapat dengan mudah menginstalnya melalui Software Manager dengan cara mengetik deja-dup di kolom pencarian. Cara lainnya adalah menggunakan perintah berikut di terminal.
sudo apt-get install deja-dup
Backup File
Silahkan buka Déjà Dup melalui Menu > System Tools > System Settings lalu klik ikon Backup, setelah terbuka anda akan dihadapkan pada menu Overview dimana konfigurasi program backup masih default dan posisi program masih OFF.
Sebelum membackup file, anda harus menkonfigurasi file apa saja yang mau dibackup, dimana backup akan disimpan, dan kapan mau dibackup. Untuk menyetting konfigurasi tsb, pertama-tama klik menu Storage di sebelah kiri lalu pilih lokasi penyimpanan backup, bisa di clouds, online server, server lokal atau di folder. Pilih harddisk eksternal atau server online agar data backup anda aman jika terjadi kerusakan pada harddisk komputer anda.
Menu berikutnya adalah Folders, dimana anda harus memilih folder mana aja yang akan dibackup dan folder mana yang tidak perlu dibackup.
Dan menu terakhir di sebelah kiri adalah Schedule, dimana anda harus menkonfigurasi jadwal berlangsungnya proses backup.
Setelah semua setting telah dikonfigurasi, silahkan kembali ke menu Overview, lalu geser tombol automatic backup ke posisi ON, atau klik tombol Back Up Now, selanjutnya anda akan diminta memasukkan password enkripsi, anda bisa memasukkan password atau memilih tanpa password. Setelah itu proses backup akan berlangsung.
File backup tsb akan tersimpan dengan ekstensi tar.gz atau gpg, tergantung pilihan apakah file tsb di enkripsi dengan password atau tidak.
Restore
Untuk merestore kembali file-file anda, buka program Déjà Dup, lalu pada menu Overview klik tombol Restore. Anda akan diberikan menu dropdown dengan pilihan tanggal backup yang telah dibuat. Pilih salah satu tanggal dan lanjutkan dengan klik Forward. Pilih lokasi restore lalu klik Forward lagi. Jika info yang anda berikan sudah benar klik Restore untuk memprosesnya.

Thrilled to bits to report that for the first time in the Americas, openSUSE users, developers and folks who might want to be in those categories will be gathering in Orlando, Florida this September. This community conference doesn’t have a name yet (more on that later), but is sure to be informative and exciting. As with all openSUSE activities, participants will certainly have a lot of fun!
The story is that the annual corporate SUSE conference is happening September 18-21. This is where system administrators, developers and other people who make their living using SUSE Linux Enterprise gather. Just speculation on my part, but I’ll guess that Attachmate/SUSE got a better deal from the hotel if they reserved the entire week. The beneficiaries of this arrangement include the scruffy brigands of openSUSE.
Planning for the event began last Wednesday on Internet Relay Chat, with a dozen or so active participants, including your humble scribe (see the full transcript) (see a summary). We want to make this a conference that is comfortable for both basic users and the developers who make openSUSE the great distribution it is.
Aside: For KDE users who may be feeling abandoned by Canonical/Kubuntu today, maybe it’s time to look at another powerful, yet simple desktop Linux distribution.
The first item on our agenda, though, is naming this first ever conference. Quite a few names were suggested at the kickoff chat, and a poll is being conducted at openSUSE Connect. Choose your favorite before Saturday!
If this conference excites you, you can help make it happen. Visit the conference wiki and sign up for one or more of the task teams.
Watch this space for more news as things move forward.
Busy time at the booth
openSUSE brought lots of fun to FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium. We’re all exhausted now from selling beer, t-shirts, hats and giving demonstrations of openSUSE with GNOME Shell, KDE, Plasma Active, openSUSE-on-ARM (running XFCE) and countless other things. Yet we did want to tell you about FOSDEM before we go catch up on sleep!
Like last year, the crew from the SUSE office in Nuremberg loaded up a bus with people, beer and anything/one else needed for FOSDEM. The bus was left during Friday night at the ULB where FOSDEM would happen. Despite the risk of somebody breaking in and stealing our awesome goodies, it was deemed more important to join the other FOSDEM go-ers in their attack on the tasty-beverage supply of Brussels! Besides, a night outside in the > -10C degrees from last weekend ensured the beer would be cold and ready to drink.
Cool hats to keep your head warm
The next morning, those smart enough not to drink too much (or (wo)manly enough to ignore the hangover and show up anyway) prepared the booth for the onslaught of visitors eager to learn the latest about openSUSE and buy the coolest beer at FOSDEM. Besides this great beverage we also had the usual assortment of stickers, openSUSE DVDs, t-shirts (in any size as long as your size is Large) and of course our demo systems showing off openSUSE. This year we had our big touch screens again, one with GNOME Shell, the other with the latest from KDE, as well as an assortment of smaller devices. Several of them ran ARM with either consoles or XFCE and there was a “WeTab” with Plasma Active on it as well.
Interestingly, our beer got “forked” by the Firefox crowd who bought a bunch of them (we threw in some t-shirts) and put a firefox sticker over the Old Toad badge. Yes, “Free as in Beer” and all that. Suffice to say the beer was not only popular (as some evil tongues claimed) because the K building had no other drinks available – everyone who tried it agreed it was actually a high quality lager. If you want to know more about the beer, see here. Sorry, we don’t ship it, but if you look us up at LinuxTag in May (Berlin) we will have some!

If you have never been to FOSDEM there is little we can do to describe this event. Nevertheless I will attempt to paint you a picture as everyone deserves to know how awesome it is! For starters, as you might know, our beloved Pascal “Yaloki” Bleser is part of the FOSDEM organisation. There is no doubt that the event can do anything but rock! Of course, while Pascal might be as strong as many men, he’s just a part in the mighty wheels that keep FOSDEM running. That is to say: it is big. VERY big. The two …
Last weekend was FOSDEM and it was a blast! Camila's first and I get that she didn't look forward to it that much - we had some trouble on the way there. As I'm now just on the way to the airport to pick her up (she had a meet-up with some KolabSys people) I dunno if she changed her mind but I bet she did. If only because she got some Brazilian beans from Izabel Valverde ;-)
For me it was the usual - there was little visiting of talks for me. Seriously, 200 hours of talks in 2 days? Attempting to visit the interesting ones just leads to frustration so I've given up on that. There are just too many people to talk to, too much beer to drink and sell and little catch-ups to have. FOSDEM needs to become a week-long event. Seriously.
