After a few weeks concentrate with my jobs, I almost forgot about this place. What happen to my personal notes thingy ??
busy bz busy bz
Many interesting stories/mumblings/security tips/notes I need to write here but I just don't have a fxcking time to spend. Maybe that time will come or maybe this so called sharing personal fxcking notes will remain silence.
No one knows
Just B.U.M.P

The Chronicles of All for 1 Multimedia Player (Part 2 - VLC + amr codec)
I'll skip the Mplayer's installation story because of I don't need it while I got VLC running smoothly but will consider to post if I got a request (It's 5 min to 4.00 a.m damn it !! I need to finish it up fast!!).
Now the story continue ...
1. Get the VLC latest source (as for now the version is vlc-0.8.6f)
2. Extract the source code and change to the extracted directory
3. Get the all the library that needed for build VLC
This is the trickiest part, when I run ./configure I got this following error message
what the fxck ? need to compile ffmpeg again ? hmm ... I check the the missing library file 1st
The library file is in /usr/lib/. I need to tell configurator the location of the library (set the flag for the library). Then I try to run ./configure again
Then 2nd last stage is "make"
YEAH BEBEH !! SUKSES!! SUKSES!! and we can install it !!
We can try playing 3GP file
It can play with sound now !! I've tried with various types of media file such as mp3, wmv, mkv and such with no problemo.
Hope you all will be lucky as me ... chow !!
Now the story continue ...

The Chronicles of All for 1 Multimedia Player (Part 1 - ffmpeg)
That RealPlayer installation issue really piss me off. I don't know is it bugged or not compatible with 64 bit architecture. I don't even want to think about it. All I need is my 3gp's file can be play with sound.
This is the 1st time I have to make my hands dirty in Ubuntu. I though as Ubuntu's user I just can install all the packages (either using apt-get , aptitude , dpkg , Install and Remove Applications or Synaptic Package Manager).
I've managed to compile mplayer with ffmpeg for solving the "amr codec" issue (for most of 3gp audio) based on severals tutorial that I found while googling. That's hell of pains because I need to try multiple ways based on multiple tutorials to compile with succeed (yes I'm a noob at compiling).
After that I have a thought "Hey, why not I try to compile vlc player with that ffmpeg ?". Then I ask my guru for the guide (google of course) but no luck ... sigh
I'm still in the mood of dirty hands so I try it a little bit by bit. Learning from errors is a good training for you.
The story begins ...
1st of all, I compile ffmpeg with libavcodec (the leading audio/video codec library) to support MP3 and AMR based on tutorial from Chez Mattiouz's blog. Thanx :)~ (FYI I tried a several guides from others, but your's the only way that I manage to succeed compiling with mplayer and vlc)
1. Fire up the terminal and then get into root shell environment
2. Get the latest sources from LAME MP3 official site, as for now the latest beta version is lame-3.98 beta 8.
3. Extract the source code and change to the extracted directory
4. Configure and install
5. Check the AMR Codec Library site for latest version of amrnb and amrwb and grab them, as for now the lates version of amrnb is 7.0.0.1 and for amrwb is 7.0.0.2
6. Extract amrnb, configure and install
7. Extract amrwb, configure and install
8. Make sure that that your /etc/ld.so.conf includes the directory where these 3 libraries just got installed (usually its /usr/local/lib).
Mine didn’t so I had to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ffmpeg.conf and run "ldconfig"
10. Get the ffmpeg source from SVN repository, but you need "subversion" package installed in your system
11. Configure ffmpeg and make, if you got no error you can proceed to install
There you go !! now we got ffmpeg that supporting MP3 and amr codec
But ... what the fxck !! This page is getting longer !!

Welcome Ubuntu (Part 2)
The installation process is going smoothly and almost hassle free (refer here for instruction). Very user friendly, everything next ... next ... next ... not sure can go back ... next ... finish and reboot !! I remember my 1st experience installing linux, using RedHat in late 90's (most user friendly at that time) I'm stuck at creating partition. If I'm not mistaken there was no auto creating partition option in that time.
Back to the topic, finish installing the packages and some required setting (timezone, hostname, ip, username and yada-yada), reboot and voila !! Ubuntu is using Gnome as desktop, the system requesting for autoupdate for various packages. There a popup message that give instruction for enable the sytem to install my graphic card driver. I follow the instruction "click System -> Administration -> Hardware driver -> Enable restricted driver". Then the driver automatically installed.
This is good, I dont need to make my hands dirty at the 1st day of using Ubuntu.
I'm playing around the desktop to make myself familiar with the interface.
I open up the terminal
to checked the default process and wow !! compiz is run by default. This is good. I googling around to find how to setting up and manage the compiz (I'm crazy about the 3D desktop thingy). I need to install compiz config setting manager.
And then I click System > Preferences > Advanced System Effects Settings. There are several plugins installed and running, I just need to add Desktop Cube and Rotate Desktop. By googling around I found a keyboard shortcut for compiz fusion
Note: Super key = Windows icon key
After playing around with the effects, I'm entering my previous NTFS partitions (Note: This machine is dual boot with WinXP and got 2 NTFS partition) and tried play HD Movie with default movie player which is Totem. Wow no problemo !! MP3's file running with Rhytmbox Music Player. What I love is I can preview the MP3's sounds by pointing the mouse pointer to the MP3 files at File Browser !!
Then I tried play 3gp files. Video is ok but no sound. Hmm ... tried using command line to find out what's the problem and this is the output
** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found. This is not good. Googling around to find other 3gp's compatible player. Yeah !! RealPlayer will be my saviour. I downloaded the installation file and run the command as in instruction at several forums and blogs
What the fxck !!
Then I googling around about mplayer, still problem with amr ... what the fxck
Trying to get info about vlc player then I found this
WHAT THE FXCK !!

Trying to get info about vlc player then I found this
samr is the FourCC for AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) audio. It is not supported in VLC due to licensing issues. VLC can be compiled with AMR (using FFmpeg compiled with it) however this is not compatible with the GPL due to software patents. - Source

Welcome Ubuntu (Part 1)
After I got new portfolio for my job, I don't have time to spend at games anymore. Yes I was hardcore at gaming especially online games, so I decide uninstall a couple of games that takes around 25GB of hard disk space.
Hey I got more free space now and no more gaming, so I decided to use linux as my "main personal OS" because of needs (from my job) to do research, development, coding and yada-yada.
My rig is running on AMD 64-bit dual core and using NVIDIA 7900 GTO graphic card and after googling around I found that Ubuntu might be fulfill my needs. While waiting for downloading ISO by so called " bandwidth provider that give you an unsurpassed Internet experience" (refer here) to finish, I shrunk my NTFS partition using GParted LiveCD to give space for Ubuntu.
Burn the ISO (ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso) and boot it up ...
What the fxck ??!!

what the fxck ??!!
This is my 1st attempt to write this such thing (blogging) even though I've been lurking around the net since "once upon a time" ago. I'm not trying to be a "blog whore" but just want to make a personal notes and sharing a knowledge on any interesting things that happen in my life.
What the fxck is "blog whore" ??!! I can't answer that and "University of Google" seems cant give the answer too.
What the fxck ??!! "blog whore" not in wikipedia too ??!!
sigh, someone need to be a contributor there
