My work went away

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

What a happy news!
I came to the office today to find out that Raouf screwed my work up! He deleted the 5 existing partition to create a Fedora one!!!!
6 months of development and research were erased within some mintues.
Damn! I won’t give you back your CDs!!!!

Ubuntu: Humanity for others

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

I have just received a pack from Netherlands: Ubuntu CDs that I ordered one month ago. It works perfectly, although I found an issue while looking for packages by apt-get. Well, I don’t like the “Fedora-like” restriction: No MP3, no MPEG, no Flash, no java, etc.
As I told, the system is stable, recognizes hardware, has […]

A new form of Corrupt Disk

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

SONY has a new form of Corrupt Disk. You can’t play it on your computer on a free operating system. The Digital Restrictions Management let Windows users make a few copies–but the copies are corrupt too, and only Windows can play them.
 
It works by installing a “rootkit” on Windows computers–that is, software that hides […]

Skyping around

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Not using Windoze does not prevent me from using some non Free Softwares sometimes, as long as they are good, useful, and GNU/Linux compatible.
Skype is one of the those programs, for it’s reliable, secure and has many features, besides, it doesn’t use some strange ports, only 80 and 443. However, I could not run […]

Search’n'Replace

Monday, October 17th, 2005

To search and replace a string at the same file with “sed” command, use the -i option:
sed -is ’s/search/replace/g’
The same option can be used for Perl too; this can help a lot:
perl -pie ’s/search/replace/g’

CDFS

Monday, October 10th, 2005

I found out another OS called cdfs. The installation is quite simple: download it from http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/, then patch the kernel source. It is also possible to just type make at cdfs directory; insert the module and, depmod and modprobe it. You have a new filesystem!
Once done, update /etc/fstab adding the following line for example:
/dev/hdc   /media/CDFS   cdfs    […]

A bash script to download all Linux Gazette issues

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Here’s a little script to download all Linux Gazette issues since 1995:
url=”http://linuxgazette.net/ftpfiles/”
for i in $(seq 10 99)
do wget -c lg-issue${url}${i}.tar.gz;done
for i in $(seq 100 118)
do wget -c lg-${url}${i}.tar.gz; done
wget -c lg-issue01to08.tar.gz lg-issue09.tar.gz
unset url

Becareful: you must execute the script in an empty directory (too many archives) and expect a 94 MB of size!
