Instal Firefox 4 di Ubuntu

As usual Ubuntu users running Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) can install Firefox 4 RC via Terminal or Software center GUI. If you are not sure about how to access terminal or don’t want to mess things download Firefox 4 tar.bz file and click to install. Download Firefox 4 tar file from here to install it offline.

Install Firefox 4 via Terminal :

Go to Applications > Terminal and enter the following commands carefully,

1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install firefox

Install Firefox 4 via GUI Software Center :

Launch Ubuntu Software Center. Head over to Edit > Software Sources and click the ‘Other Software’ tab. Press ‘Add’ and then add the PPA ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable.

Download Bzipped Package

You can go to the Firefox download page, download the TAR.BZ2 package and manually install it. The advantage of that method is that you won’t lose the current version 3.6 of Firefox. However, you’ll have to unpack the BZ2 file to a folder somewhere, locate the “firefox” executable file, then double click to launch it. If you’d like to, you can also create your own launcher link on the desktop or add it to a panel.

After that you need to update sources. For that go to System > Administration > Update Manager to perform an upgrade.

Upgrade Versi Ubuntu:
Upgrade bisa dilakukan dengan 2 tehnik, yaitu upgrade online dan offline
yang perlu diperhatikan adalah saat upgrade, versi yang akan diupgrade
harus dekat dengan versi terbaru. Misal: Ubuntu 10.04 -> 10.10
sangat tidak disarankan mengupdare Ubuntu 9.10 langsung ke 10.10

1. Upgrade Online (tentunya ada koneksi internet yang lumayan kenceng)
– klik menu System -> Administration -> Update Manager
– klik tombol check (anda akan diberitahukan jika ada versi terbaru)
– klik tombol upgrade dan ikuti proses selanjutnya

2. Upgrade Offline (membutuhkan cd installer alternate)
– Download installer Ubuntu versi alternate
– Mount file iso hasil download
Code:

$ sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom
$ sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom

– Upgrade dengan perintah
Code:

$ gksu “sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade”
