Store Permanently Ubuntu Multiple Displays Setting

In Ubuntu 12.04 and maybe others, if we set displays for multiple monitor it just works for the current session. It means, if we restart our PC, the setting was gone and we need to set up again via display setting as shown from the picture below.

Ubuntu Display Setting

To store permanently the multiple monitors setting in Ubuntu, we can manually set the xrandr by making file .xprofile in home directory (~/.xprofile). For example, to set extra monitor in the left side of main monitor permanently (as shown by the picture above), type the following in ~/.xprofile

xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1

For complete instruction, you can follow the Ubuntu wiki here. The ~/.xprofile will be executed by xrandr every single start of Ubuntu. The example script above will locate the extra monitor to the left of main monitor, here are the sreenshot of mine.

Doa Ketika Takut Akan Seseorang (Doa Minta Perlindungan)

Saat pulang ke Indonesia setahun yang lalu, dan sebelum berangkat lagi ke Jepang, seorang bapak, teman ngaji saya tiba-tiba memberi saya secarik kertas yang isinya sebuah doa. Ceritanya, anak si bapak tersebut diterima beasiswa kuliah di fakultas kedokteran di universitas negeri ternama di kota Surabaya. Nah, saat pemberkasan daftar ulang, entah bagaimana caranya, berkas anaknya hilang di administrasi universitas. Singkat cerita, karena si anak panik dimarahi petugas administrasi dan terancam gagal masuk FK, dia menghubungi ayahnya, dan si bapak tadi menyarankan untuk membaca doa ini. Alhamdulillah, setelah membaca doa ini, si anak kemudian maju ke tumpukan berkas daftar ulang, dan secara acak mengambil salah satu berkas, dan... ternyata itu berkasnya.

Karena masih menyimpan secarik kertas yang bertulis amalan doa ketika takut akan seseorang itu, saya memfotonya lewat handphone, agar tidak lupa. Sebetulnya doa ini simple dan mudah di hafal, insyaAllah dibaca 5 kali saja sudah hafal.
