Using x2vnc What is x2vnc?x2vnc is a dual-screen hack. It “will let you use two screens on two different computers as if they were connected to the same computer. The computer with the ‘main’ keyboard must be running X-window, and the second computer should have a VNC server running which will update the contents on the actual screen. Why?The scenario: I sit at my desk, with my workstation that runs X. I have my laptop beside me (to the right) which also runs X. I keep having to lean over and use the mouse and [continued…]
IntroductionEver had an MP3 file that is just too long to listen to in one sitting? Normal MP3 playing software allows you to pause playback and continue later, but some portable media players only have track-skip buttons and don’t allow the listener to search within a track. If you are listening to multiple short audio tracks, this isn’t a problem but if the MP3 file is longer, it can be a pain. A good example is an episode of LUG Radio which often runs over an hour, but is a single Ogg or MP3 track. Creating a Skeleton C++ Project using GNU autotools Installing the SoftwareEnsure you have a working system with autoconf automake make g++ gcc etc… Debian packages can be installed with the following command: # apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf or if your using aptitude… # aptitude install build-essential automake autoconf Creating the ScriptRun the script below to create your new project in your current directory.

Note that some knowledge of RAID1 under Linux is assumed. What you will need
The aim of this page is to make the whole DVD-ROM region free situation clearer. DVDs containing films or TV series are encoded with a “region”. This is an artificial measure introduced on top of the DVD format at the behest of content producers. “Region 1” is made up of the US and Canada for example. The UK is in “Region 2”. Some DVD discs are produced with multi-region encoding and are designed to play in more than one region. Rarely are commercial discs produced without any region protection (also known as Region 0 discs), but Revolution OS [continued…] NAT under QemuWhen using user-net Qemu behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically configure the network for the guest OS. Under QEMU 0.7.2 and below using the option -user-net or QEMU 0.8.0 and above (you don’t need to specify this any more because it’s actually the default) -net nic -net user or if you have no tun/tap init script, Qemu uses a completely user mode network stack (you don’t need root privileges to use the virtual network). The virtual network configuration is the following: Qemu [continued...]
LIRCThe Linux software for dealing with infra-red remote controls is LIRC. LIRC has a number of components which work together to allow programs to respond to the buttons on a remote handset. Kernel moduleFirst, you need a LIRC kernel module for the receiver that you have. For example, the lirc_streamzap module works with the Streamzap remote control. Inserting this module into the kernel with modprobe will also load the core lirc_dev module. The main distributions ship a selection of lirc driver modules which match their pre-compiled kernels. The kernel module communicates with [continued…] |
