Hello, it's been a while since my last post. And I don't know how to start writing in this blog. Lately I have download lots of anime but I don't have time to watch or write about it. SO for a change, I'm gonna write a how to (very mini how to) about kernel compile on opensuse.
Opensuse is my favorite Linux distro. The last release of opensuse is version 11.1 released on late 2008. So it's been months since the last opensuse release and new technology like ext4 filesystem is already available on other distro like ubuntu or mandriva. So as a great fan of opensuse it's time to update our distro.
A kernel update probably not necessary for most user, and it's more than fulfilling curiosity than a technical needs. But by compiling kernel by your own you can customize your OS at a very deep level. Compiling a new kernel provide a new technology or improvement over the previous release. By compiling kernel you also able to remove feature that never use. But before we proceed I suggest to backup all the data because bad thing can always happen :-). It's always good idea to have one or more backup.
OK lets get started:
First download kernel source from http://kernel.org. Get the latest stable kernel. At the moment the latest stable kernel is version 2.6.30.1. Download it and save it to home folder (my home folder is /home/yyyholic).
Second step is extract the downloaded kernel source. To do that, open terminal and navigate to where you download the kernel source. In my case its on /home/yyyholic. Then extract the kernel source using the tar program. Type tar -xf (name of kernel source). Replace (name of kernel) with the kernel source that you download. After extraction you should find a folder like linux-2.6.30.1 on your current working folder.
The third step is move the extracted kernel source to /usr/src. To do that we must login as root. So type su (enter) than type your root password. After we login as root lets move the kernel source folder to /usr/src. To do that type mv linux-2.6.30.1/ /usr/src/ (enter).
Next is install the required packages for kernel compilation. This is easy step if you have internet connection. We will use zypper to install these package. On terminal as root type: zypper in gcc make qt3-devel (enter). Wait until all process finished.
Now we ready for kernel compilation. Still in terminal do "change directory" to /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.1/. Then as root type this command: make xconfig. Wait few moment and you should find this window:
Basically we use the window above to decide what feature we use on our kernel. If you don't know one or two option then leave it at default value. Don't rush, read everything and try to understand every option. You can always use google to understand some technical words. Make sure to optimize the kernel option according to your needs. If you use your PC as desktop then make the processor more active. And don't forget to disable kernel debugging.
After you choose the kernel option, klik save button on toolbar and exit. Next we will compile the kernel. type "make rpm" to compile and package the kernel as rpm. This process will take some time. On my test machine (Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ram) it takes about 30 minutes. After compilation go to /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/. You should find your kernel as rpm package there.
Now, after the kernel is ready, lets install it. Assume that you already in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/, type rpm -ivh [name-of-kernel.rpm]. The rpm -ivh command will install the kernel as new kernel. The new kernel will not replace the old kernel, and this is good because you will need it if new kernel did not work :-D. After kernel installation run mkinitrd to create init for new kernel. Then add the new kernel on grub. You can add it by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst or use yast.
That's it. Now restart your computer and try your new kernel. Now you have faster opensuse. Have a lot of fun :-)
Hi, its been a while :-)
This is the ending song of Gundam 00 Season 2 anime "trust you" by Yuna Ito. You can listen it here but the real file is at aimini.net. This mp3 uploaded by pxd.
Lyrics for this song available at animelyrics.com. Thank's for the uploader and lyrics provider. Enjoy :-)
OK every SUSE fan already know that tomorrow is openSUSE 11.1 release day. Now I'm wondering in their site to get sneak peak of the new feature or improvement. it seems like everybody already exited with the next release. Even I can find a review on distrowatch, an that's strange, tomorrow is the release day but why there's a review on distrowatch?
Is it possible that people @ opensuse already release the iso? I think that the best chance, so i ended searching the web with google for "openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.iso" keyword. And Bang!!! I found a download link for opensuse 11.1 a day before its funal release. Cool :-)
I can't confirm if it's the original release from opensuse. But it worth some time for download right?
Oh, it also worth to check at it feature list here:

Long-long time ago, i watch a splendid animation. Actually it's not the best part of the anime stories, but it's the episode ending. No i'ts not ending song, it's the ending! It's the SOS DAN dance in Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu episode.
I'm thinking, somebody must already uploaded in youtube. So I check it at youtube, insert some keyword to query some video, and here is the result.
This video is not the anime version, perhaps the game version. And as usual I'm not the uploader, credit goes to Morizuki for uploading the video.
Enjoy it!!! :-)

A song from the second season of Gundam 00 is here. Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi by UVERworld. The song is hosted at imeem.com. I'm not the uploader of the song, so credit goes to radz ravenheart for uploading the song. Also I found the lyrics at animelyrics.com, again credit goes to peardruid for the lyrics. Here is the lyrics:
Ai ga ai wo "omosugiru" tte rikai wo kobami
Nikushimi ni kawatte iku mae ni...
Nanimokamo sou daro? BATSU no warui jijou ni wa itsumo futashite kuwasemono no RIARU
Yuganda JIRENMA jidai de yakusoku shita hazu no futari sae kidzukazu toorisugite yuku
Kowashiatte wakariatteta koto mo
Okizari ni shita
Kore ga nare no hate nano?
Mitomenaide tachimukatta toki mo
Ochite iku toki no IMEEJI kara nigedasezu ni
Ah nando demo sagashidasu yo
Kimi no me sono te no nukumori wo
Nanimokamo sou daro? BATSU no warui jijou ni wa itsumo futashite kuwasemono no RIARU
Yuganda JIRENMA jidai de yakusoku shita hazu no futari sae kidzukazu toorisugite yuku
Inakutatte kawari wa shinai machi wa
Boku no sukui wo motome ya shinai darou
Matomo na yatsu ni narisumashite
Dare mo ga kuzuresou na kesshou no naka de
Ah nando mo uso wo kasaneru kara
Ai wa itsumo watashi wo kizutsukeru dake... tte kimi wa tsubuyaite
Shinjiru koto ga kowakute naitan daro?
Yowasa wo shitte tsuyoku nare osorezu shinjiru koto de
Nikushimi ni kawaru mae no hontou no ai wo shiru no darou
Hoshigatteta mono wa
Kokoro ga nai tsukurareta konna sekai jya nain da yo
Miterarenai riyuu no kakera mo nai hibi
Iyashisa ga yadotteta utsushitsukareta hitomi ni
Kokoro wo iyasu uso sore mo ari nante
Demo kokoro wo ubau no ga uso darou
Ai ni chikadzukou tomo kamitsukareru dake... tte boku wa tsubuyaite
Shinjiru koto wo yamete ikitetan da yo
Zetsubou kuratte tatte mo akireru hodo no omoide
Hakanai inochi shigamitsuite ikya ii
Hoshigatteta mono wa
Kokoro ga nai tsukurareta konna mon jya nain da yo
Kono machi de ushinatta ai
Sono imi sagaseba
Sukoshi MASHI ni natte susumeru darou
Now if only I can find translation for this song. Any suggestion for link, or translation?
PASTERU KARAA mo odori dasu yo sa monogatari ga hajimaru
sugusama boku wa kimi no moto e tobidashite iku no sa
matteite yo hanayagu machi o ima kakenukete iru
itazura ni karamaru unmei bokura zutto sagashitetanda
soshite ima futari de aeta kitto guuzen nanka ja nai
kono mama soba ni ite hoshii
usubeni iro mai chiru kimi no hoo o somete ikutabi mo meguru
