Kubuntu Running on Virtualbox

0 comments

What about KDE on Ubuntu? Ok, it call Kubuntu. So I try it on my system by using Virtualbox. Same as PCLinuxOS it run using KDE which require more powerful hardware. I think due to it powerful engine to make more better desktop environment. Anyway, if you had powerful system, then you can try Kubuntu and see the different of KDE environment compare with Gnome. For Sabily, I will ask their programmer either we can use KDE or not. Then suggest them to add it in the future version of Sabily.
So, let see Kubuntu run on live cd image inside Sabily by using Virtualbox latest version 3.1.8.

Starting Kubuntu virtual machine from live CD image.


Live session of Kubuntu.


Desktop Setting GUI.


Shutdown Kubuntu Live session.


By running this session I think it is possible to run KDE for Ubuntu or Sabily on my system. Next I will install KDE on my Sabily and get experience how it look like.

One of the most top distro that I know either than Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian etc is PCLinuxOS and yesterday I already finished download it new version PCLinuxOS 2010. The most interested is it had KDE session that don't have on Sabily. As I know another distro that use KDE is Mandriva. So I try to run it on Virtualbox to see the different of it compare with Gnome Ubuntu or Sabily.
After start I found the different of it appearance which is more attract colour and have more start menu. I share some of the screenshot that I take when run it on Virtualbox. Hopefully in the future Sabily also will support KDE session like Ubuntu.

Sabily 9.10 Gaza Detected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

0 comments

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS already released officially. If you are in Sabily your Update Manager will detected it and request you to upgrade. In this situation you should not click update cause it will change your desktop to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and override or erase your Sabily setting. Unless you decide to change your Sabily to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. If you are Sabily user, just wait until Sabily 10.04 Manarat official release and we hope there are supported for upgrade version.

Last week while I'm on facebook, I had asked by one friend from Indonesia about LXDE either it support for Sabily or not. Then I found that LXDE is support to Ubuntu so I guest it should support to Sabily too.
Today I try to install LXDE in Sabily and use it session to log in. Luckily it was support for Sabily log in session but some icon can't be load. Hopefully Sabily designer team will take attention for this matter. We will discuss more about LXDE later. I also post a screenshot of Sabily in LXDE session.

Virtualbox - New Version Update

0 comments

One thing that I like about Sabily or Ubuntu is new version of software detect. If we run any software while we are online, it will detect for a new version of the software and request us to update it. If we don't want to update, just ignore it. For example that I want to show here is Virtualbox software. After I run it, information about a new version appeared and suggest me a link to download it. When I click on the suggestion link it direct me to a download location at Sun Microsystems server. Then I accept to download update version of Virtualbox and install it after that. Below picture is some of the screenshot that I take while update my Sun Virtualbox software.

New version of Virtualbox detected after I run it.


After click on the link, it direct me to the download location.


Right click and choose Open with GDebi Package Installer to install it.


Click on Install Package to start install.

Installation completed. Just click Close to end it.


Now I had a new version of Virtualbox without I'm waste my time to search for it.
