Upgrade Ubuntu Offline

When i use ubuntu in my office. I have some problem with my establish connection. Sometime the Internet connection down, so i must restart again when download something from Internet. This case was happen when i want to upgrade my ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. To solve this problem i googling how to upgrade ubuntu without connection. So i find the solution. This is step to upgrade ubuntu offline via ISO than you can do with any version of ubuntu.

1. First you must have an alternate ISO file of ubuntu any version. Alternate Iso is different with Desktop ISO. I want to upgrade to ubuntu 9.04, so i must have Ubuntu Alternate 9.04 IDO file. You can dowload it here.
2. Then you must mount it in cdrom with this command :

sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0

3. After that you run this command as root

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

4. Then it will show upgrade window and you can go configure it easily.

What is very different in Jaunty?? I think, it many change in look feel in it interface. It more attractive and nice color.

Flex Builder on Ubuntu

Do you know Flex? Flex is one platform language to build web or desktop application from Adobe.

Flex is a highly productive, free open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. While Flex applications can be built using only the free Flex SDK, developers can use Adobe® Flex® Builder™ 3 software to dramatically accelerate development

~ Adobe

Flex builder was build to run in Windows and Macintosh only. But Adobe also hear some advice to make it on Linux. This tutorial show you how to install Flex Builder in your Ubuntu. Flex Builder Linux is a plugin-only version of the Flex Builder that you can use to build Flex applications on Linux.

1. Make sure Java common libraries in your PC was install the latest. To check this you can go to Synaptic Manager and find "java-common" then apply it. Thanks for insideria to remember me this.
2. Go to Adobe web and download Flex Builder Linux Alpha and save in your home. You can download it here.
3. Flex builder is a plugin in Eclipse, so you must have Eclipse first. You can search in Add/Remove Program and find Eclipse version 3.3.x or above.
   
4. Run the installer either marking it as executable (chmod +x) or by using a shell to execute it (sh flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin).
5. Then you can start Eclise. You must create a new workspace before beginning. Select File > Switch Workspace from the menu bar and enter a new folder name. If the folder doesn't exist, Eclipse creates it.
   
6. You can see your flex builder now in your Ubuntu.
