Sometimes you need to ignore adds, may be you just concern about the content of the web page. You just ignore the adds on the page. There are some plugins that available on firefox for blocking adds. For example, flash blocker, adds blocker, etc. To block some adds content on web page, I usually use this plugins.

Virtualbox: Setup Wizard ended prematurely [SOLVED]

4

Category : Gadget, In English, Laptop, Tips, Tools, Software & Technology

I have that problem (Setup Wizard ended prematurely) when try to re-install my VirtualBox 2.1.0 and 2.1.2 on my Windows box. I was previously install with virtualbox 2.0.6. When VBox 2.1.0 arrives, I was able to install that version smoothly, without any problem. After using vbox 2.1.0 for quite some time, everything was good. Until one day, I had something problem with my Cisco VPN connection 3 weeks ago. I had some problem with re-installing Cisco VPN, then I decide to remove my Vbox for a while and trying to resolve Cisco VPN. After the problem was solved with Cisco VPN, then I need to re-install again my Virtualbox. Then, this annoying error is makes me confused.

I had “Setup Wizard ended prematurely” error every time I re-install virtualbox with version 2.1.0 and the newest 2.1.2. That is why I only able to use 2.0.6 version for the last 3 weeks. Only that version able to install successfully. Start googling around at that time still no luck. Today I am googling again and find a ticket on Virtualbox website telling the same issue.

Simultaneous file download FTP client

Category : Gadget, In English, Laptop, Linux, Tips, Tools, Software & Technology, Ubuntu

I have often to backup a site using FTP or FTPS client. Many of FTP clients I have try but seems like I don’t find the best one for me. Until I try FileZilla Portable on my windows box. Actually I already have it for a long time, but it was rarely used. Until I remember that I have it on my hardisk and want to try it.

After using it. Wow, I was shocked. FileZilla now able to download a simultaneous file from one site. This is very good for me, because back in few years ago, I have to use a demo of a proprietary software to try a simultaneous download. But now, It’s all free. Just download FileZilla. Thanks to FOSS. :)

It’s already more than a year I’m using a password management called KeePass Password Safe Portable. I am a big fan of Portable Apps, all of those application from Portable Apps is already on my thumb drive plus more application like Opera Portable, Skype Portable, XAMPP and many more. This portable apps always useful when you need to use another PC, but you want to use your application, not using the application on host PC, besides you don’t want to leave your data on another PC. This application help me a lot while working on another PC. Unfortunately, Portable Apps only available on windows. All of application coming from Portable Apps is on FOSS based.

TIPS: How to increase more volume when playing multimedia files

8

Category : Gadget, In English, Laptop, Linux, Multimedia, Tips, Tools, Software & Technology, Ubuntu

I have a multimedia file. It’s a movie. I play it in Ubuntu with Totem Movie Player. I find the video of the movie was good but the volume was too low. I have already try to increase speaker volumes and player volumes but they are already on maximum level. I can’t get more volume even my laptop speaker able to play more. This is not a problem if you have an external speaker with amplifier. You can increase the volumes without any problem, because when using external speaker you have the ability to increase it with amplifier. But I don’t have it right now, I just have my laptop internal speaker and or an earphone. It’s the only one I got. So, now I want try to find how to increase the volume of the movie (or any other multimedia files) on my laptop if the sound is too low.
