As a kid, I had an extreme irrational hatred for tomatoes and anything that had touched or been within the proximity of them.  Without exception, I would not touch any food that had even a minuscule tomato component, and as a result, I missed out on a lot of great eating until I was about twelve years old.  No pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, or any other related foods were acceptable to my palate until, after a particularly wicked bout of peer pressure, I broke down and ate my first slice of pizza and immediately broke into a frenetic quest to make up for lost time, eating pizza and lasagna as much as I could and driving my mother nuts with my nightly (and constantly denied) requests for more.

I know what your thinking, “WTF is this guy running off about?”  Basically, I had a similar experience today with a great distro called Pardus 2009, which I decided to try on a whim after a number of glowing reviews from friends, acquaintances and a bunch of really positive forum discussions.  As a devout GNOME user who could never quite learn to like KDE, I was hesitant to waste the time downloading and installing Pardus.  After all, in my admittedly limited experience with KDE based distros, there were very few differences between them across the board… You know the old, “if you’ve seen one” routine.  However, something was nagging at the the back of my head, call it latent peer pressure from the bushel of positive reviews I had encountered in the last few weeks, or even an overwhelming sense of curiosity, but I went to the English version of the Pardus website[1] which, at the time was nothing more than a giant download link, and began the process of downloading one of the two main Pardus ISO’s[2].

After the download completed and I burned the 687 Mb ISO to disk, I restarted my system and followed the impressively simple and attractive graphical install which is readily accessible for any Linux newbie, all the wall to completion and booted my fresh Pardus 2009 install.  From the first boot to the final load of the KDE 4.2.4 desktop, I found myself saying “Wow!”  From top to bottom, this is easily the most unique and attractive KDE based distribution I have had the pleasure to run.  The developers of this distro have taken great pains to make it stand out in the crowd which, incidentally has always been one my main criticisms of the 4.x series of KDE desktops.  They all seemed to boot to the same Oxygen Plasma theme and some variation of the same Oxygen icon theme.  Not Pardus, however which allows you to choose from a number of preset styles and wallpapers while you perform a number of rather basic setup tasks through Kaptain. I was immediately impressed by the fresh take on the desktop including the Milky icon theme which I think is pretty sexy!

I know, I know… some of the purists out there will say screw the appearance, you can change it later (I have added my own wallpaper), what about the performance and stuff.  Well, if you like KDE, you are going to love Pardus as all of the basic setup options are available through the usual System Settings screen, and Konsole is readily available to perform any tasks you need and like in the command line.  While I like to perform all of my package management tasks and upgrades through the command line, I do like to try out whatever package management applications come with the distro to get a quick overview of the depth of the default repos.  The default Package Manager has a Synaptic like UI that is well laid out and extremely intuitive with a good selection of software, while obviously not as deep as the various Debian repos, is very well represented.  Performance wise, from my initial impressions of the last couple of days and using pure feel and intuition, I would say that it has been the best performing KDE desktop I’ve run on my system to date.  In the past, with the same basic effects enabled, KDE 4.x has run choppy during periods of heavy system load, but so far, I have not experienced any lags or choppy loads with Pardus 2009.  All my applications have opened quickly and smoothly, even in instances of heavy system usage.

So, if you haven’t figured it out, Pardus 2009 is my pizza to the KDE tomato.  Pardus is a great system with excellent load times, good performance and an extremely attractive interface.  It is easy to install and setup, and provides an extremely positive user experience.  Possibly most impressive for me, is that Pardus is now my default desktop which has never happened before.  This will mark the very first time that a KDE environment has replaced GNOME on my main system.  For me, Pardus 2009 is a highly recommendable system, and I strongly urge people to try it out for themselves.

Notes

[1] English Pardus site: http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/

[2] There are two main ISOs to choose from.  The first is a basic Pardus 2009 which includes only English and Turkish installs and weighs in at 687 Mb.  The second is an International version which contains eleven additional languages and is only 9 Mb larger, weighing in at a mere 696 Mbs.

Excerpt on the Pardus 2009 release notes as laid out in Distrowatch.com:

Ingin membuat tampilan kursor di desktop Ubuntu tidak lagi blinking ( kelap-kelip ) ?

Ikuti langkah berikut :

1. Jalankan aplikasi Terminal. Setelah Terminal terbuka, jalankan aplikasi gconf-editor dengan mengetikkan perintah berikut : gconf-editor.
2. Dari aplikasi gconf-editor, masuk ke menu /desktop/gnome/interface, dan hilangkan tanda centang pada opsi kursor_blingking.
3. Untuk mengetesnya, Anda dapat mencoba mengetik di gEdit ( Editor pada Linux kalau di OS Windows seperti Notepad ), lalu mencoba mengedit teks. Kini, meski posisi kursor diam, tampilan kursor di desktop Ubuntu Anda tidak lagi blinking.

Si algo le tengo que agradecer a ubuntu y sus problemas de PulseAudio es que gracias a ellos conocí Slackware que es mi distribución preferida pero bueno eso es harina de otro costal, en las ultimas 6 computadoras a las que les he instalado/actualizado ubuntu (incluyendo la mía y la de mi hermano), he tenido problemas con pulseaudio, curiosamente mi hermano encontró la solución trasteando, luego también la logre encontrar trasteando pero no supe ni que tanto hice para que funcionara, así que me di a la tarea de investigar cual es el origen del problema, y luego de buscar por un buen tiempo entre foros, blogs e irc encontré desde soluciones estúpidas y otras bien fumadas, que al final de cuentas no funcionaban o medio funcionaban.

Luego de una intensa búsqueda encontré la luz al final del túnel, el principal problema que tenia es que solo una aplicación sonaba a la vez, la solución la encontré en  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7522891 no me gusta hacer copy-paste pero esto creo que si lo amerita, la solución que voy a copiar a continuación es solo para ubuntu 9.04 pero en el link se encuentra para las otras versiones de ubuntu.

Instrucciones Comunes (Jaunty)
1. Haga backup (y luego borre) los archivos viejos de configuración.

$ mkdir ~/pulse-backup && cp -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* /etc/asound.conf /etc/pulse -t ~/pulse-backup/
$ sudo rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* /etc/asound.conf

Nota: No se preocupe si alguno de estos archivos no existen en su sistema.

2. Asegúrese que tiene las librerías necesarias de PulseAudio y las utilidades de configuración.

$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

3. Asegúrese que la maléfica libreria “libflashsupport” no esté instalada.

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge libflashsupport flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound

Nota: la librería “libflashsupport” era (y hasta cierto punto, todavia es) la causa más común de la inestabilidad de Firefox desde que se lanzó Hardy, porque muchos usuarios habían sido mal aconsejados al pensar que tenían que instalar esta libreria para estar tranquilos que Flash y PulseAudio funcionarían correctamente. Si usted ve algún post que recomienda a alguien instalar esta libreria, por favor respondale con un link a este post, o al reporte de bug. Cuanta más gente sepa de este problema, mejor. Gracias!

4. Abra Sistema – Preferencias – Sonido. En la sección de dispositivos, asegurese que todas las opciones de “Reproducción de sonido” estén en Autodetectar. Ponga el item “Captura de sonido” en ALSA. Cierre la aplicación cuando termine.

Nota: Elegir PulseAudio para captura de sonido va a causar cuelgues , asi que se le aconseja que elija el dispositivo “directo” de ALSA.

5. Abra la aplicación de Control de Volumen de PulseAudio (”pavucontrol” o puede lanzar Aplicaciones – Sonido y Video – Control de Volumen). En la sección Dispositivos de Salida verá una lista de los dispositivos de reproducción disponibles en su sistema. Haga click derecho en la entrada que usted desea que sea el dispositivo por defecto y habilite la casilla “Por defecto”. También diríjase a Dispositivos de Entrada, haga click derecho en el dispositivo que usted quiere que sea su entrada (microfono) y asegurese que la casilla “Por defecto” esté habilitada. Cierre la aplicación cuando termine. Nota: Si le aparece el error “Fallo de conexión: Conexión rechazada”, lance manualmente PulseAudio  antes de abrir la aplicación de Control de Volumen.

Nota: El dispositivo de audio que recomiendo usar por defecto (default) es simultaneous output.


$ pulseaudio & pavucontrol

Salga de la sesión y vuelva para que se activen los cambios.

You may have read on more than one occasion that Linux is not susceptible to viruses. It is true that, because Linux doesn’t automatically run in root mode and because it contains more security, it isn’t anything like as susceptible to viruses as Windows is. However, I still recommend installing antivirus software.

I have been testing Clam AV because it comes in the Ubuntu repository. Simply typing in

sudo aptitude install clamtk

will pull in all of the parts of Clam AV that a normal user will need. Then it is a matter of starting up Clam AV from Applications > System Tools > Virus Scanner.

When I first ran Clam AV this evening, it reported that i had 3 viruses. A screen popped up with the names and locations of the suspect files. The delete function didn’t work – possibly because I am testing Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10), which isn’t due out in final form until October. However, with the names and locations given, I could easily pull up the file manager, and then search for and delete the files manually.

Here are the results of my re-scan after deleting the suspect files.

One possibility for these viruses is, of course, a false alarm. (I prefer not to take any chances!) Another possibility is that they are Windows viruses, unable to infect a Linux machine but lurking until they can be passed onto the next Windows computer on the network or among your group of friends. There are enough Windows viruses out there that anyone on a network that includes Windows computers should consider taking precautions not to pass along any garbage.

I, my partner Angelica, and the Joanne and Au (who will be developing mini-games for the elementary math level) have decided to use the Wii Remote, or simply Wiimote, as our game’s input device.

…and we are going to use the Wiimote without the Wii console.

Reuse of Nintendo’s Wii game console hardware, accessories and software for purposes outside those intended by the manufacturer is referred to as Wii Homebrew, and original efforts focused on using the Wiimote as an input (pointing) device for other OS or for some web-based games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_homebrew). Reverse engineering Wiimote’s features allowed the development of drivers that can be used for Wiimote’s Bluetooth communication with OS such as Linux, Windows and Mac. Also, there are existing libraries for developing applications using the Wiimote. For example, WiiRemoteJ is a free Java API and library for interacting with a Nintendo(R) Wii(tm) Remote through Bluetooth(R). WiiRemoteJ aims to do two things: first, it aims to create an easily accessible interface for Java developers wanting to work with the Wii Remote. Second, it aims to provide tools for developers using the Wii Remote to speed development (http://www.wiili.com/forum/what-is-wiiremotej-t2356.html). Also, there is Wiigee, which is an open-source gesture recognition library for accelerometer-based gestures specifically developed for the Nintendo® Wii™ remote controller, and since it is implemented in Java, it is platform-independent. This is useful for applications which requires recognition of user-defined gestures. There are other libraries written in Java for Wiimote applications, such as WiiuseJ and Wiimote Simple. Using Wiimote on the said operating systems requires a Bluetooth device, and if the application is to be developed using Java, a JSR-82 implementation (JSR-82 -> the official Java Bluetooth API).

We’re thinking of working with the Linux OS, since Avetana, a JSR-82 implementation, is free with Linux, although we have the option to use BlueCove, an open-source JSR-82 implementation, for Windows and Mac OS.

/*…we chose Java because we’re more familiar with it, so we searched for Java libraries for Wiimote application development… */

Well, after taking some time to find a new church home, and getting rested up and refreshed, it time to get back to my Father’s business. One way I’m doing that is starting to ramp up things over at the Freely Project.  The idea of Freely is to encourage the use of Linux and open source software in churches, ministries and missions work.  Currently I’m working on some pages discussing the whys and hows…..

If this is an idea that interest you, join us over at the Freely Project!

Related to our Freely efforts, is introducing other believers to Linux.  Over the past couple of months I’ve refurbished a half dozen or so PCs with Linux and given them to friends, and installed Linux on systems for several others.

All part of being a blessing to others, and freely given what I’ve freely received!

Con la salida de Firefox 3.5 muchos usuarios han actualizado a esta version, para despues darse cuenta que esta version tenia un bug en la seguridad, por lo que los de Mozilla han lanzado la version 3.5.1 para corregir esos errores. Si uno quiere tener las ultimas versiones de los productos de Mozilla se tienen 3 opciones (Agregar repositorios, instalar desde codigo fuente) o esta que les presentare a continuacion.

Ubuntuzilla es un script escrito en python que permite instalar las ultimas versiones de los programas Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, y Seamonkey en Ubuntu y derivados. Esto se creo desde la Ubuntu 7.04 ya que en ella se encontraba Thunderbird en la version 1.5, y ya estaba la 2.0; el funcionamiento de este script es parecido al de instalar desde codigo fuente solo que permite el respaldo de los marcadores, extensiones y mas de la version anterior, escoger el lenguaje (cosa que no pasa en los repositorios ), un gestor que nos avisa si hay una nueva version ,y una opcion para desinstalar la nueva version y restaurar la anterior.

Para instalarlo, pueden usar el paquete deb para instalarlo.

Y como se usa, asi de sencillo, vamos a instalar la ultima version de Firefox:

ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox

Y despues seguimos las instrucciones en la terminal y tenemos Firefox 3.5.x

Solo cambiamos “firefox” por el programa a instalar (seamonkey o firefox)

Espero que les sirva.

rsnapshot is a great application for taking backups. It uses rsync and hard links, and makes backup management very easy. It comes with a nice perl script, rsnapreport, which reads the output of the rsync commands used by rsnapshot, and prints a useful report, with the stats of each rsync command.

For detailed info about rsnapshot, you can visit the website of the project.

A typical configuration would set up a cronjob, in which the output of the rsnapshot sync command(or rsnapshot daily, if the sync_first option is not enabled), is piped to rsnapreport, and the output of rsnapreport is piped to a CLI SMTP client, to send us a mail with the stats of the sync operation.(sendEmail is a very nice SMTP client ).

However, if you’re taking backups from multiple machines, the sync operation can last longer than expected. So, if the datablock timeout in our SMTP server isn’t large enough, we will never get an email.

This is solved if we use a wrapper script for the rsnapshot sync operation. We use that script for the cronjob, and inside the script we have something like this:

#!/bin/sh
rsnapshot sync > /tmp/rsync_stats 2>&1
cat /tmp/rsync_stats | sendEmail -f backup@foo -t user@bar -u rsnapshot report
rm -f /tmp/rsync_stats


And problem solved!

Como administrador de sistemas o de servidores web necesitamos tener la información del estado de nuestro apache, para esto tenemos la herramienta apachetop.

También esta herramienta nos ayuda a generar estadísticas de acceso.

La herramienta apachetop nos da información en tiempo real muy similar a top, para poder instalarla es necesario hacer los siguiente:

—–debian/ubuntu y derivados:

apt-get install apachetop

—–Centos/Fedora/RHEL, para este tipo de distribuciones es necesario tener habilitado repositorio de DAG.

yum install apachetop

Para iniciar la aplicación solamente ejecutamos de la siguiente manera:

user:~# apachetop

o

user:~# apachetop -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

Para mas información del proyecto revisar el siguiente link.

Bueno me acabo de jugar un par de partidas en el Openarena (del que ya hablare en otra ocasión), y ahora proceso a elaborar mi primer post, hablando sobre Android, si el sistema de google para celulares, haber me dí con la noticia de que también había una versión para pc, la cual aunque aun bastante limitada en funciones, satisface la curiosidad.

Me había propuesto configurarlo en mi pendrive para iniciarlo desde ahí, pero después de mucho probar, no logre hacerlo (que bruto que soy xD ) así que opte por la otra opción razonable dadas las circunstancias y de que ya eran casi las 3 de la mañana y la obsesión por ver funcionar Android era mas fuerte que el sueño. Bien como decía la otra opción razonable se llamaba Virtualbox, así que me dispuse a ello después de descargar el paquete “virtualbox-3.0_3.0.2-49928_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb” y proceder a la sincillisima instalación, ya estamos listos para crear nuestra máquina virtual con Android.

aquí algunas capturas.

El sistema como veran se ve interesante, espero que con el tiempo se implemente lo suficiente como para tenerlo instalado en el PC.

Pardus 2009 Released!
Pardus 2009 Release Notes
1. Welcome to Pardus 2009!

Welcome to Pardus 2009, another great Pardus release from Pardus developers, translators, artists and documentation writers.
We kindly invite you to visit http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng for more information.
1.1. Feedback

You can use http://bugs.pardus.org.tr, (Pardus bug tracking system) to report a bug, send a bug fix or suggest anything related to Pardus. We would like to thank our users and developers for their bug reports, fixes, new package or feature suggestions for this release.
2. What is new ?
2.1. Updates in Pardus Technologies

With the release of Pardus 2009, core technologies like PiSi and COMAR are updated to provide new features. YALI is also updated to offer a smoother and more reliable installation experience. The enhancements in Mudur initialization system provide a faster and more robust startup process along with a better remote file system support.

All of the Pardus managers have been refactored and optimized for KDE4. New Pardus tools, Network Plasmoid for easy network profile switching and Service Plasmoid for easy service management are now available in our repositories. These plasmoids can be placed either on the desktop, or any of the panels on the desktop for easier access.

A new manager System Manager has been added to provide easy configuration of system wide settings, like the default locale, keymap, timezone etc.

Package Manager and PiSi are now a lot faster than before, thanks to the new caching mechanizm. Many changes have been made to the packaging system of PiSi, making PiSi packages about 20% smaller, and also delta package support will be on by default from now on. Package installing and updating will be a lot faster and will require much less bandwidth. Package component tree has also been refactored, letting users find their preferred packages even more easily.

Installation system Yalı has a boost with refactoring and new PiSi features, doubling the installation speed of Pardus. Pardus now installs everything in about 15 minutes on an average computer of today. A new feature rescue mode support is also added to Yalı, which can be used to take back previous package updates, restore bootloader etc.
2.2. Graphical Enhancements

Pardus 2009 comes with a lot of graphical enhancements. With this new release, Pardus users will meet the Milky icon theme of Pardus, consisting of about 1000 icons. We also have a wide variety of graphical enhancements, from wallpapers of nature photographs to 3D rendered images, splash images etc.
2.3. KDE 4 Desktop Enviroment

New member of the KDE family KDE4 that has been the choice of many Pardus users for a while now, is now the default desktop environment. Pardus 2009 includes the latest stable release of KDE that has been enhanced and modified for Pardus. All the KDE programs in Pardus repositories have been updated to or replaced by their latest KDE 4 versions.

With the new version KDE, Pardus provides a new look and feel for users. Plasmoid based desktop system, where every component can be placed on anywhere on the desktop, Strigi desktop search fully integrated to desktop environment, desktop effects coming as a part of KDE, Dolphin the next generation file manager with many remote protocol support are just a few examples of the new desktop experience for our users.
2.4. Updated Components

Pardus 2009 includes a lot of package updates besides Pardus Technologies. Some of the highlights are as follows:

* KDE 4.2.4
* Linux Kernel 2.6.30.1
* Openoffice Office Suite 3.1
* Firefox Web Browser 3.5.1
* Gimp 2.6.6
* Xorg 1.6.2
* Python 2.6.2
* Texlive 2008
* GCC 4.3.3
* GLIBC 2.9

2.5. New Filesystems

Pardus now comes with Ext4 filesystem, successor of Ext3, as the default filesystem. Ext4 is a lot faster than Ext3 and has many new features in terms of capacity and extensions. For example, Ext4 supports partition sizes up to 1 exabyte and file sizes up to 16 terrabyte.

XFS, ReiserFS and the experimental Btrfs are also available in our installation system, Yalı.

For more information about updates and new features on Pardus 2009, you can take a look at the Pardus website.
3. Installation requirements

You can run Pardus 2009 on an average hardware. We suggest to use at least 512 MB RAM (memory) and a 1400 MHz processor to get a good performance. Minimum and recommended hardware requirements for Pardus 2009 are mentioned below:

* 256 MB memory (1GB or more recommended)
* 1000 MHz Intel or AMD processor (1400 MHz recommended)
* At least 4 GB of free hard disk space (10 GB recommended)

Пожалуй каждый продвинутый пользователь ОС Linux хоть раз в своей жизни задумывался о том, как драйвер файловой системы хранит данные с точки зрения фрагментации (и следующей из неё потери производительности). Бытует мнение что времена однопользовательских однозадачных систем прошли, в современной ОС одновременно работают десятки процессов, многие из которых работают с диском, так-что запросы на чтение/запись поступают асинхронно и абсолютно непредсказуемо, из чего делается вывод о том шанс того что головка диска летя над магнитной пластиной “схватит” нужные данные выше, если наблюдаеться некоторая фрагментация (данные “распылены” на разделе). Как ни абсурдно на первый взгляд, но оно и есть, правда с оговоркой — не везде. Модель поведение веб-сервера раздающего кучу относительно небольших файлов это одно, но при работе домашнего компьютера…

Итак, старый спор о том нужна ли дефрагментация файловых систем Linux, таким как ext3, reiser и т.д. неожиданно снова всплыл на горизонте. И причина тому торренты. А дело то всё в том, что торренты любят кушать место с диска, причём кушать маленькими кусочками (нет-нет, штатно клиент конечно кэширует место одним куском, но ведь бывают и нештатные ситуации), да так что потом бывает диву даёшься — один файл читается 100 MiB/s, а его сосед по директории 4-6 MiB/s. Абсурд? Нет, фрагменттация. Но это решается довольно просто, к сути:

Con Kolivas, один из разработчиков ядра, написал небольшой скрипт для простейшей дефрагментации (копированием), сходный по функциональности с утилиткой shake, однако скрипт имеет один существенный недостаток — он работает “вслепую”, т.е. не анализаруя своих действий. Мне удалось исправить логику поведения скрипта, чтоб он не делал более фрагментированных файлов, вот как это выглядит:

И сам скрипт: defrag-sh (это баш скрипт, последние 4 символа в названии можно убрать)

Скрипт работает рекурсивно вглубь относительно директории, из которой запушен. Зависимости — утилита filefrag (из пакета e2fsprogs, если не путаю).

Теперь вновь можно наслаждаться полной скоростью (в моём случае около 100 MiB/s) ~_^

TÜBİTAK Ulusal Elektronik ve Kriptoloji Araştırma Enstitüsü (UEKAE) bünyesinde geliştirilen Linux tabanlı işletim sistemi Pardus’un son sürümü Pardus 2009 kullanıcılarla buluştu.

TÜBİTAK UEKAE’den yapılan yazılı açıklamada, YALI ve PiSi’de yapılan iyileştirmeler ile kurulum hızı 2 kat artan Pardus 2009′un, ortalama bir bilgisayara 15 dakikada kurulabildiği belirtildi.

Verilen bilgiye göre Pardus 2009, bilgisayar teknolojileri hakkında yüzeysel bilgiye sahip olan, kişisel bilgisayarlarını klasik ihtiyaçları için kullanabilen ve yapmak istedikleri için hangi uygulama ya da donanımı kullanacağını seçebilen ”bilişim okur yazarı” tüm genel kullanıcıları hedefliyor.

Pardus 2009 Kurulum CD’sinde, internet araçları, ofis paketi, her tür görsel, müzik, film için oynatıcı ve düzenleyiciler, oyunlar gibi bir masaüstü kullanıcısının gereksinim duyacağı yazılımlar bulunuyor.

Muchas veces, tenemos que monitorear el uso de memoria en un servidor Linux , “watch” es un comando útil para mostrar el tiempo real de uso de la memoria en Linux.

watch -d free -m

El uso de la memoria se actualizarà cada 2 segundos, y los cambios de valores seràn destacados (highlighted).
