1) Keyboard:Not all function keys works, the most important ones do like lcd brightness, sound and the disable trackpad one
2) DVD-RW: Works but I have a really bad performance. It could be the same thing that affects my desktop and is a pretty common thing on intel chipset
3) Card Reader: Works with SDHC (High Capacity), tested on microSDHC 4GB (with adapter)
4) W-LAN: Toshiba suggests not needed modifications, for me it worked out of the box
5) Bluetooth ref: Ubuntu Forums
On toshibas bluetooth is switched off by default on boot. It can be switched on by an acpi call that is pretty easy to make in windows ( press a button ) but not in linux , omnibook make things much easier. First you will need some packages to grab the source from svn and to compile it.

$ sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential linux-source linux-headers-generic
Then you can check the svn source and compile
$ cd ~
$ mkdir omnibook
$ cd omnibook
$ svn co https://omnibook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/omnibook/omnibook/trunk
$ cd trunk
$ make
$ sudo make install


The A300 is not directly supported by omnibook module so we have to force it with proper options

$ sudo depmod -a
$ sudo modprobe omnibook ectype=12

after this bluetooth should work, if you want to load the module on boot make a file called omnibook.modprobe in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following line:
options omnibook ectype=12 userset=1

and then you can finally add “omnibook” in /etc/modules

There’s a bug in Ubuntu that make you unable to receive files ( toshiba side is all working, the bug is in the bluez-utils package) , downgrading is a solution

6) Suspend/Hibernation: I had problem with the xorg drivers. After installing Ati Binary drivers it worked liked a charm , I’m very happy for this.Edit: after waking up from hibernation the bluetooth system is disabled for some reasons. “echo 1>/proc/omnibook/bluetooth” will do the job.

7 Wired Lan:
rmmod sky2
cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net
cp -p sky2.ko{,.orig}
perl -pe 's/\0\0\x6c\x43/\0\0\x55\x43/g' sky2.ko.orig > sky2.ko
Note

I feel that with the newer bios ( 14/07 ) things work better, the fan is less noisy for example

My superkaramba monitor is based on the dual cpu monitor by Loacoon, I changed it a little to show some useful stuff , some of them gentoo specific ( last sync, last emerges, currently emerging….. genlop is a dependency).

Here’s the code, on my system superkaramba themes are in ~/.kde3.5/share/apps/superkaramba/themes/

Superkaramba theme

I had two big problems, I couldn’t hibernate/suspend and I couldn’t switch to the ttys with Alt+F1 for example.

Starting from the latter I realized that the nvidia-glx package instead of the nvidia-glx-new does the job. Since I don’t know the difference between the two packages and I really don’t care to have the newest nvidia driver I consider this problem fixed.

Now suspend works and not sometimes or just one time like it used in the past, I had to change some config options in /etc/default/acpi-support

SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
POST_VIDEO=false
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true

Hiberating is still a problem or better waking up from hibernation is a huge deal on my laptop. It does hibernate and it tries to wake up during next boot but when X starts everything freeze. It seems a kernel or xorg problem because I can’t turn on/off the capslock led. Here’s the bug I’ve filled, hopefully someoene will look at it.

• Media Server: it serves the content on the network
• Media Renderer: it renders the content served by a media server

So I actually needed both on my gentoo linux.

Probably the easiest way to browse content served by upnp servers is djmount , it works as a FUSE file system ( that can be mounted by a normal user) and it looks for all the upnp devices in a network. It works very well even with content provided by Windows Vista (or better from the Media Player that comes with windows vista). You create a directory and simply “djmount it”, in that directory there will be other subdirectories , one for each media server you have in your network.

Easy and working but not that cool, I mean…all this new stuff and , in the end, I still have to browse directories. I’m not using these new things just because I don’t want to plug in an usb cable, I’m not that lazy. So I went searching in various forums another solution.

My first choice as media server was ushare, somehow connected to the geexbox project but it had its limitation, one above all that it doesn’t read tags, so when you copy a music file to another device you must retag it manually. Another problem was the init script that didn’t work that well and I didn’t have time/will to fix it. Mediatomb seems the definitive choice to me, it seems a nice project, it reads metadata and has a built in sqlite backend. (you can use mysql too but i don’t have the server on my box). Mediatomb has a webserver you can connect to and you can add/delete content to your share and chose how to rescan your library , you can chose inotify on that ( if you are using beagle you should already have inotify in your kernel).

When it goes to the Media Renderer it seems that there is not much choice yet, but there is some and in particular there is gmediarenderer from the GNU guys. GmediaRender , as the names says, it’s able to render content served from a MediaServer, it needs gstreamer as a backend for all the codecs (it actually uses gstreamer to render the stream ). If you have gmediarender running you can simply go to your nokia N95 media player , chose a song and in options chose “execute on personal network” ( or something like that) and your computer (not the phone) will sound. You can do the same for videos or pictures.

What about coherence? I have it installed and the rhythmbox plugins actually works , I can see my N95 and browse its contents but you can’t (yet) make rhythmbox work as a MediaRenderer. Coherence is supposed to be a full UPNP solution with its server, renderer and controller but the people who develop it are very good in making Youtube videos but not that good to explain the world “how the hell that damn thing works”.

What is missing? On my nokia I can chose to copy or move stuff to my personal network, I can’t do it and don’t know what part of this upnp mess should provide this feature.


#! /bin/sh
USER=user ## mldonkey user
PASS=pass ## mldonkey password for user
HOST=192.168.1.2 ## host where mldonkey is running

ScheduleWorld Side

After signing up and logging in there are a few things that must be changed in the scheduleworld configuration page.

• General Preferences for: as it says those are just general preferences , they have nothing to do with the syncing procedures,can be left as they are
• GMail Contact Synchronization: would be handy but gmail sucks under this point. Gmail remembers automatically every address you have sent an email to and this means that after a while you will find a lot of guys called “unsubscribe” on your phone contacts, this is the part that sucks.I don’t use this feature.
• Standard SyncML Client Configuration: these are the configuration options we will use on the Nokia, all Nokia N series comes with syncML compliant client and we will use it.
• Funambol SyncML Client Configuration: if the application/device you want to sync doesn’t come with a syncML compliant client there is a possibility that you can install some funambol components to make it work and sync properly with scheduleworld.(for iPod , Windows Mobile, Outlook, theres should be something for BlackBerries too)
• Evolution SyncML Configuration (SyncEvolution): for the evolution office suite ( if you don’t know what it is don’t bother).I use Gnome but I when I’m not home I must use windows,so I prefer crossplatform applications like the ones from Mozilla.

There are other configuration option at the bottom of the boxes (its actually another wider box in pink and purple colors). If you want to sync with google calendar the configuration options with a pink background are the ones that matter the most.(those ones that come after “To manually sync with your specific Google Calendar click ‘Google Sync’ at the top of the day view. “).

• Authorization: most of people should click on “Single User/AuthStub”, if you use google apps for your domain then you should click on “Hosted Domain/Client Login”.After that your browser will fire up a google page that asks you if you want to grant permission to scheduleworld.com, you should answear yes.
• Corresponding Google Calendar Username (email): your google login
• Google Calendar Title:click “Find” and chose the calendar you wish to sync with.
• Other options: the defaults are ok, maybe you want the “Automatically sync with this Google Calendar with every SyncML sync” set to “yes” so that every time you sync with scheduleworld you get synced to google calendar automatically.

Nokia Side

The syncML client by Nokia is called “Syncronization” and it should be under “Utilities” (my N95 is in Italian).Options->NewProfile.

• Profile Name: Anything you want
• Applications:we will sync Contacts and Calendar, click on Contacts: Include:yes ; Database: card ; Direction:both; go back.Click on Calendar: Include:yes ; Database: cal ; Direction:both. Pay attention: Contacts database is “card”, Calendar database is “cal”.
• Connection: these info are on the scheduleworld configuration page in the “Standard SyncML Client Configuration” box. Put the server url in the “host address”, do the same for username and password.

Now go back with your phone to the syncronization page and click on the new created profile to sync your phone to Scheduleworld and to Google Calendar with it.

Thunderbird Side

You can find Scheduleworld extension for thunderbird here, right click save, fireup thunderbird and under Tools->Add-Ons click on install and select the extension, restart thunderbird. Upon restarting a wizard should show up guiding you to the configuration options,as usual you can find these infos on the scheduleworld configuration page.After Username and Password you are asked what contacts you want to sync, Personal Address Book are the contacts you created , Collected Address Book are the contacts you know cause you sent or they ahve sent something to you.Next is the Calendars to Syncronize, put a mark on “Sync” and chose the calendar to sync, keep going and reading till you finish.Now aunder tools->SyncSW to sync.

Tip for Gnome Users

Gnome has a clock applet that if you click on it it shows you a calendar , that calendar is connected to evolution and it will show in glance all your appointments,pretty handy feature. If you don’t want to use evolution there’s a solution here

even if it says “Audio device:nVidia” you must use the snd-hda-intel module to make it work and actually ubuntu loads it during startup but sound still doens’t come out from speakers or headphones That module supports lots of chipset and sometimes they are not recognized properly and you must tell him what kind of chip you are using.
My “real” sound chip is the ALC660 from realtek and the solution for me was having a look at:

gas@gas-laptop:~$ zless /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz


scroll down until you find
Module snd-hda-intel
--------------------

Module for Intel HD Audio (ICH6, ICH6M, ESB2, ICH7, ICH8),
ATI SB450, SB600, RS600,
VIA VT8251/VT8237A,
SIS966, ULI M5461


and down again until you find
ALC861/660
3stack 3-jack
3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig 6-jack with SPDIF I/O
3stack-660 3-jack (for ALC660)
uniwill-m31 Uniwill M31 laptop
auto auto-config reading BIOS (default)

as you can see the default config for those chips is “auto” and thats bad….for me the right one was 3stack-660.

Last step and we are done:
gas@gas-laptop:~$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base


and add as the last line the following:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-660

now, just because we mostly all come from windows,reboot.

Have fun hearing

“stolen” by nuno

Vista is a bunch of shitty tools whose reason to exist is to drive you nuts.

As soon as I started Vista I realized that having the harddisk led blinking every often would have driven me crazy in a couple of days, then I found out that my laptop had Norton installed and it is a very well known fact that after you install something from Symantec you simply can’t get rid of it, they love you and they’ll stick with you….forever.

But you know….I have paid for a license.So the next thing was trying to shrink that smart 120Gigs partition and try to make things a little bit more clever and wow! Vista as its own partition utlity that actually is able to shrink the only filesystem it can read, for once it seemed that MS had done something almost right. Nope. That Shrink utility is (again) stupid and the best that it can do is shrinking your partition to half of what it was so I had to reboot with gparted live who actually did the job. Not completely because Vista didn’t like those changes and some repairing utility started ( by itself) that after 3 hours let me boot Vista. So as a start if Packard Bell had provided me a damn windows install cd I was done in 1 hour by instead they had to do things the cool way with their own Master DVD.( that you must make it yourself and if you lose it your fucked because you can’t make another one).

Then usability: Vista is secure , it comes with a *nix like hierarchy , in fact when you want to do operations that could potentially destroy your computer your screen turns gray and you have to click two times rather than one and in my home this is a cracker safe environment.

Software: the only software I use on windows is SolidWorks that does’t work on my Vista, no wonder why in April the solidworks guys said that they are going to make a linux version of it (maybe because they use opengl?).

Solution: format and classical winxp install on is tiny 10Gigs in NTFS and the rest in something that Virus called windows can’t understand.

P.S. btw the laptop itself as far i can tell is not bad, the Atheros wireless seems less powerful that the intel one….

Here’s the source planet that generates the feed , here’s the page of my blog that uses that feed.

These are the release notes and among the new changes I found:

• PHP5.x
• MySQL 5.x
• Apache 2.2.x
• GCC v4.1
• from XFree86 to X.org v7.1

Updating

Fist of all install aptitude
apt-get install aptitude

I used to have Debian Sarge 64 that is a semi official backport , now Etch is shipped with amd64 architecture too so the backport is not needed anymore. Updating is not difficult , one should change all “sarge” to “etch” in /etc/apt/sources.list, mine look like this


deb ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
#deb http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
# TOR
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor etch main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor etch main


the “www.backports” line is comments out because etch hit stable just today. Backports are binaries compiled for etch and shipped for sarge, sometime you can’t install a package because it misses a dependency but you can run it because it doesn’t miss any dependency while it runs, hence that backports that let me use the latest mldonkey with sarge for example.

Then


apt-get update
aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade

Note that aptitude was used rather that apt-get dist upgrade because is known to be more strict on dependencies that apt-get dist-upgrade, installing aptitude here as docs say will bring in lots of other packages.
I hope that etch will be as good as sarge , for me sarge never hanged once in its life, the only problem I had was a that a couple of deamons used to exit silently after a couple of weeks running . Hopefully etch comes with a version of shorewall that is able to handle traffic shaping.

2 cents about gentoo : I love gentoo and I have no intention to change my desktop distro …but debian management is damn faster… I remeber last Gcc major upgrade , rebuilding the the system and then the world , emerge breaking during night, a couple of days compiling vs 20 min of debs fetching in debian.

Edit: Squid and Shorewall have new configurations:

• Squid: ( ola ola Christian )delete these lineshttpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on and add this always_direct allow all.Now look for http_port X.X.X.X and add “transparent” the result should be something like this:http_port 192.168.1.2:8080 transparent

• Shorewall: have a look at /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples . Now the file “zones” must contain the firewall zone, there are no comments and no display any more so in the end you should find something like this:net ipv4
loc ipv4
fw firewall

  ipv4 is the default for normail traffic

Here I am , asking myself why mldonkey doesn’t load a local ipfilter if its download fails. So I went on their forums to ask and since I’ve never done that I had to register first …. I found no solutions but a I got myself a new question : Am I visually impaired or plain stupid?

This is a KISS ( Keep It Simple Stupid ) script to backup and upgrade to the latest version your wordpress blog.You will need a shell / ssh to run this script ( tested on standard linux bash ).

Features

• No configuration needed
• Full Database Backup
• Full blog root backup excluding the backup directory
• Automagic blog upgrade
• Easily written and hence easily adaptable

Installation

open a shell and “cd” to your wordpress blog root path ( the one that contains wp-admin directory or wp-config.php for example)
wget http://www.lucagasperini.com/wpautoupgrade.sh
chmod u+x wpautoupgrade.sh

Usage

open a shell and “cd” to your wordpress blog root path
sh wpautoupgrade.sh
Now point your browser to http://www.example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Restore

I have an idea for doing things the KISS way but no time for now so you have to do things manually . The backup performed is standard so you can simply follow the codex.

Notes

• Two different backups are made , content and sql table, they are stored in /pathtoblog/backup.
• To download your blog backup file point your browser to http://www.example.com/backup/files.tar.gz.
• To download your sql table backup point your browser to http://www.example.com/backup/sql.gz
• All backups are kept and are not backed-up ( buckups don’t contain older backups). This mean that over time the backup directory can potentially become huge.Check it and delete older ones
• I didn’t want this script to call the upgrade.php autamatically cause it means no feedback at all.
• If you don’t have a standard wordpress install don’t use this script. For example if you use a Debian package to install wordpress this script won’t work because the deb has been debianized and all config have been moved to /etc/wordpress rather than standard /blogroot
• If it doesn’t work is your fault

Weird …..the page rank misteries.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post concerning how much vista is expansive compared to computers shipped with linux where you just pay the hardware and you get a bunch of good free software.

Nowadays when you go to a computer shop you find a lot of laptops with big “Ready for Vista” stickers so i called my article “Get Ready for Windows Vista” that is in italian “Preparati a Windows Vista”, just for the sake of joking .

It happens that if you search for “Preparati per Windows Vista” instead of seeing results from shops, newspapers, magazines that actually talk about getting ready for vista you see the first result from Microsoft and the second one is from my blog where I actually tell people that buying Vista is stupid, expensive and in the case you still want it I left there a link to a financial institute that make loans and I called it “Preparati a Windows Vista”.

Here you are , “Get Ready for” or “Preparati a ” Windows Vista” using google.

P.S. What happens when you don’t know this stuff and you look for “Get ready for Linux”? And mostly “How the hell is possible?”

Nano without highlighting

Nano with syntax highlighting

A gentoo user (ryszardzonk) has bizipped all the tips and tricks of this thread, lucky me…basically :

1. place *.nanorc files in /usr/share/nano directory
2.
A - place nanorc in /etc to use it globaly for all users
or B - place nanorc as .nanorc for everyuser you intend to use it with
3. enjoy
4. mail upgraded or additional syntaxes to vojcek [a t ] tlen [dot ] pl

About point 2: don’t do both cause you’ll probably get Segmentation Fault from nano , in gentoo nano comes with /etc/nanorc already (at least with common FLAGS), you can simply overwrite it.

As you can see it’s quite complete , Have fun

Hi,
So I’m posting for a rather large project. I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It’s supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I’m going to sell that operating system later on. It’s going to be called BlueOrb.

These are some important points :

It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has.
ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS.
It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP)
When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number.
It HAS to be HACKER SAFE!
It must be quick and good looking.

Note that I only accept quality work and do not want any quickly done BS.

And here’s the best answer :

Hi. I can do this for you next week, when I plan on taking a break from a nonotech based / atomic fission driven search engine thats going to make larry page wet his pants. 6 days to code, 1 to rest. It will be written from scratch and completely original in design, so don’t worry about copyright bs. I plan to write the entire OS in C, and blindfolded, if its all the same to you. 100% secure will not be a problem either…In fact the OS will be designed to leverage jedi mind tricks to kill anyone that even thinks about breaking in. (i was thinking maybe make them chop off their feet and jump up and down until their empty would be fair). Anyways, I’m gonna smoke some more crack, maybe you should do the same. Thanks!

As far as I can tell from the changelog there have been a few fixes for ekiga but no big improvements.

Thinking about ekiga i realize that is very easy to get lost in very simple things, especially for gnome developers. Every tray icon of any Voip/Chatting software on this planet change when you have a missed called , so you can actually realize that someone was looking for you but not with ekiga. You must open it and once you have done it there are no symbols that warns you about the missed called at first glance but there’s a single text message …. it doesn’t seems so smart…
