Metadata

Metadata is data about data. In computer world, metadata is information from a file or a table in database. Example of metadata such as file name, table name, and file size. Operating system computer use metadata to access information in order to work properly. So, metadata is important things.

metadata_never_index is a file extension. The goal .metadata_never_index is your computer do not store metadata on your harddisk, so that it can save more space. For your information, if your Windows operating system can not open file extension metadata never index, it might be an error occur on your registry files. The solution is you can use Driver Detective software to repair file extension metadata never index. Not only for repairing registry files, you can use Driver Detective to monitor your software, hardware, and device driver. Driver Detective is free.

I've installed Driver Detective few days ago. The installation was very easy. After the installation completed, I tried to run it, but the software could not run. It needed to connect to the internet and I didn't had internet connection at the time. It showed error message. In my opinion, error message was bad. Why? because the error message did not give good information and appeared with bad design. I think the software developer must be handle the error message with better information and user-interface.

Install Codec Pack in Linux

Like Windows operating system, most of Linux distribution come with no multimedia codecs, so you'll not be able to play certain multimedia files such as rmvb, mp3, avi, DivX or MOV.

In this post, I'll show you how to install a codec pack into your Linux operating system. First of all, you must download codec pack. You can download a codec pack from softpedia:


w32codec-all description

The most important codec pack for Linux, used by many media players.

w32codec-all-2006 is the most important codec pack for Linux, used by many media players, including Xine and Mplayer.

Most important video codecs:

· MPEG-1 (VCD) and MPEG-2 (SVCD/DVD/DVB) video
· MPEG-4 in all variants including DivX ;-), OpenDivX (DivX4), DivX 5 (Pro), XviD
· Windows Media Video 7/8 (WMV1/2)
· Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3) (using x86 DLL)
· RealVideo 1.0, 2.0 (G2)
· RealVideo 3.0 (RP8), 4.0 (RP9) (using Real libraries)
· Sorenson v1/v3 (SVQ1/SVQ3), Cinepak, RPZA and other QuickTime codecs
· DV video
· 3ivx
· Intel Indeo3 (3.1, 3.2)
· Intel Indeo 4.1 and 5.0 (using x86 DLL or XAnim codecs)
· VIVO 1.0, 2.0, I263 and other H.263(+) variants (using x86 DLL)
· MJPEG, AVID, VCR2, ASV2 and other hardware formats
· FLI/FLC
· HuffYUV
· various old simple RLE-like formats

Most important audio codecs:

· MPEG layer 1, 2, and 3 (MP3) audio
· AC3/A52 (Dolby Digital) audio (software or SP/DIF)
· AAC (MPEG-4 audio)
· WMA (DivX Audio) v1, v2
· WMA 9 (WMAv3), Voxware audio, ACELP.net etc (using x86 DLLs)
· RealAudio: COOK, SIPRO, ATRAC3 (using Real libraries)
· RealAudio: DNET and older codecs
· QuickTime: Qclp, Q-Design QDMC/QDM2, MACE 3/6 (using QT libraries), ALAC
· Ogg Vorbis audio
· VIVO audio (g723, Vivo Siren) (using x86 DLL)
· alaw/ulaw, (ms)gsm, pcm, *adpcm and other simple old audio formats

After your download is compelete, open a console/terminal and do the following command to extract the codec pack

tar xvjf all-20071007.tar.bz2

Because some players have default directory to look codecs you must make sure that these directories:

/usr/lib/codecs/
/usr/local/lib/codecs/
/usr/lib/win32/

If your Linux don't have directories that I mention above, you can create with the following command:

mkdir /usr/lib/codecs/
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/
mkdir /usr/lib/win32/

Now, you need to copy all the codecs to the all directories and change their permissions to 755 with the following command:

cp all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/
cp all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/
cp all-20071007/* /usr/lib/win32/
chmod 755 /usr/lib/codecs/*
chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
chmod 755 /usr/lib/win32*

That's all!

Computer Specification Shell Script

Saya membuat shell script untuk melihat spesifikasi komputer. Untuk melihat spesifikasi komputer, ada 5 perintah yang sering digunakan, yaitu:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
lsmod
lspci
dmesg

Shell Script yang saya buat, hanya menampilkan informasi dari komputer yang saya anggap penting. Berikut ini adalah shell script yang saya buat:
UPDATE: Script ini telah saya update sehingga akan melakukan pengecekan apakah login sebagai root atau tidak.


#!/bin/bash
clear
user_id=`id -u`

if [ $user_id -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Only root can run this script"
exit
fi

echo === Computer Spesification ===
echo

# MAIN SPECIFICATION

# ========== PROSESOR ==========
core=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c "model name"`
model=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d ":"`
cache=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cache | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d ":"`

echo PROCESSOR
echo core" = $core"
echo model" = $model"
echo cache size" = $cache"
echo

# ========== RAM =========
memTotal=`cat /proc/meminfo | head -n1 | cut -f8 -d " "`
memTotalMB=`expr $memTotal / 1024`

echo RAM / Main Memory
echo Total Memory" = $memTotal KB = $memTotalMB MB"
echo

# ========== Harddisk =========
hdTotal=`cat /proc/partitions | head -n3 | tail -n1 | cut -f12 -d " "`
hdTotalMB=`expr $hdTotal / 1024`
hdTotalGB=`expr $hdTotalMB / 1024`

echo Harddisk
echo Total Capacity" = $hdTotalMB MB = $hdTotalGB GB"
echo

# ========== VGA ==========
vga=`lspci | grep VGA | cut -f3 -d":"`

echo VGA / Graphic Card
echo Model" = $vga"
echo

# ADDITIONAL Specification

# ========== AUDIO ==========
audio=`lspci | grep Audio | cut -f3 -d":"`

echo Audio
echo Model" = $audio"
echo

# ========== Ethernet ==========
eth=`lspci | grep Ethernet | cut -f3 -d":"`

echo Ethernet / LAN Card
echo Model" = $eth"
echo
echo

echo "Thanks for using this script. By aji"

Jika ingin mendownload shell script di atas: comp-spec_v2.zip

Untuk menjalankan script:
1. Login sebagai root
2. Ekstrak comp-spec.zip & Jalankan:

chmod +x comp-spec.sh
./comp-spec.sh


Semoga bermanfaat! Jika ada salah, mohon dikoreksi.
