Add to /etc/pulse/default.pa to automatically switch pulseaudio sink to Bluez:
.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so load-module module-bluetooth-discover load-module module-switch-on-connect # Add this .endif
Modify /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf to auto select A2DP profile (instead of HSP/HFP):
[General] Disable=Headset # Add this
Apply changes:
sudo pulseaudio -k # Restarts pulseaudio sudo restart --system bluetooth # Restarts BT
In some places internet access is provided via proxy. Some proxies block imap and smtp and allow only ports 80 and 443. If your email client doesn’t have proxy configuration (like my beloved Mutt), then you need to forward imap and smtp by hand. If the proxy you are behind supports https this means you can bypass it via https connect method.
To demonstrate that I’ll install Proxytunnel on my Ubuntu 14.04. After that I am creating 2 upstart scripts that launch proxy-tunnel daemons from proxy to imap/smtp (in this example to gmail’s servers). The daemons are started on system’s boot and are listening for imap connections on localhost:993 and smtp on localhost:993. For simplicity I’m adding my mail servers to hosts file, without that I would need to reconfigure my mail client to use localhost instead of *.gmail.com.
sudo apt-get install proxytunnel sudo touch /etc/init/tunnel-imap.conf /etc/init/tunnel-smtp.conf sudo chmod 644 /etc/init/tunnel-imap.conf /etc/init/tunnel-smtp.conf
/etc/init/tunnel-imap.conf:
# proxy daemon for Gmail description "proxy daemon for Gmail imap" start on runlevel [2345] expect fork respawn respawn limit 10 5 exec /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.com:80 -d imap.gmail.com:993 -a 993
/etc/init/tunnel-smtp.conf:
# proxy daemon for Gmail description "proxy daemon for Gmail smtp" start on runlevel [2345] expect fork respawn respawn limit 10 5 exec /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.com:80 -d smtp.gmail.com:587 -a 587
add to /etc/hosts:
127.0.1.1 imap.gmail.com 127.0.1.1 smtp.gmail.com
Reboot
Tip 1: if you are an Upstart guru, you can make 1 upstart script instead of 2 🙂
Tip 2: one can use iptables instead of hosts
# iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d smtp.gmail.com -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.1.1
Tip 3: there is a Python script that does the same job (didn’t test it)
Create a custom hotkey of the following command:
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,1570,820,320,180
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,above
Minecraft не поддерживает ни OpenJDK, ни Oracle JDK 7. Для решения проблемы требуется установка Oracle JDK 6:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer sudo update-alternatives --config java
Запуск:
java -jar /path_to_minecraft/minecraft.jar
Или правой кнопкой на JAR -> Oracle Java 6.

After this tutorial you’ll learn how to compile your first vala GTK program
Prepare your system:
# add the GPG key for the vala team PPA sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7DAAC99C # add the PPA to your Software Sources sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team # update the package lists sudo apt-get update # install vala sudo apt-get install valac-0.18 vala-0.18-doc valac-0.18-dbg valac --version # optionally install other PPA packages # libgee - collections library sudo apt-get install libgee-dev # install gtk-dev sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
Save program text to hello.vala file:
using Gtk;
int main (string[] args) {
Gtk.init(ref args);
var window = new Window();
window.title = "Hello, World!";
window.border_width = 10;
window.window_position = WindowPosition.CENTER;
window.set_default_size(350, 70);
window.destroy.connect(Gtk.main_quit);
var label = new Label("Hello, World!");
window.add(label);
window.show_all();
Gtk.main();
return 0;
}
Compile and launch the prog:
valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 hello.vala && ./hello
Recently, I became the proud owner of Onkyo TX-NR515 receiver. This device is DLNA MediaRenderer as upnp-inspector says. The A/V receiver is from the 2012 devices family (TX-NR414/TX-NR515/TX-NR616).
Streaming the sound from PC to my DLNA device over wlan was a tough task, but I managed to solve it the way I’ll describe below. The main idea is to pass the alsa/pulseaudio output stream over LAN to DLNA device. There are 2 ways of doing it: with DLNA server or without.
Before you begin OSQA installation, you first need to get the source code from subversion. You can receive instruction on how to do this from our Download OSQA page . This guide covers the installation of OSQA on the Ubuntu operating system using a MySQL database. If you’ve achieved a successful installation on Windows, Mac, or any other OS, we are interested in adding your installation methods to our upcoming guides for those systems. To successfully install OSQA, simply perform the instructions in each section as you scroll down the page. Continue reading
OSQA is an opensource Q/A engine. In this article I’ll describe the way I installed it on my VPS.
I like Debian/Ubuntu OS. Debian lacks new packages, that’s why I chose Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I had Lighttpd installed on my machine, so firstly I tried to install OSQA on Lighttpd. Googling around I found that running OSQA in fcgi mode is not OK (when you have a VPS). WSGI is the right way. Unfortunately, Lighttpd’s WSGI is very unstable, experimental and unsupported. That’s why I decided to move to nginx.
Django projects are great with pure WSGI servers. So I decided to install nginx with WSGI server (uWSGI, GUnicorn, etc.). Spending 3 days, writing LOTS of site blocks, tuning nginx, messing around with various WSGI servers, I finally switched to Apache.
My Apache/Ubuntu way was as described in article on meta.osqa.com. After doing the steps I received 500 errors as well as this:
Middleware module "django.middleware.csrf" does not define a "CsrfResponseMiddleware" class
OSQA is not compatible with Django 1.4.0, but works OK in 1.3.1. Check your version:
python >>> import django >>> django.VERSION
If necessary install 1.3.1:
sudo easy_install django==1.3.1
In my spare time I’ll continue playing with nginx + uWSGI (or gunicorn), I think it’s the best way of running OSQA.
1. Для установки Windows 7 с флешки нужно изначально отформатировать её в NTFS. Флешки, отформатированные в FAT32 не подойдут.
2. Скачать Unetbootin версии 494 (или 490). В последних версиях Unetbootin убрали галочку “показать все устройства”. Без неё вам Unetbootin не покажет устройства с NTFS. Также для Linux необходимо добавить права на выполнение (в Windows нужно просто распаковать архив):
chmod 755 unetbootin-linux-494 ./unetbootin-linux-494
3. Указать путь к образу ISO
4. Дождаться (минут 15) пока система скопирует на флешку файлы и сделает её загрузочной
5. Вставить флешку в нужный компьютер, загрузиться с неё.
