Just rambling commands and package installs

[rokytnji]

Just some commands I use

[rokytnji]

Lets try this again. Wireless commands I use for info.

Code:

echo uname: && uname -a -m -p && echo lspci: && lspci && echo lsusb: && lsusb && echo lsmod: && lsmod && echo ifconfig: && ifconfig && echo ifconfig -a: && ifconfig -a && echo iwconfig: && iwconfig && echo resolv.conf: && cat /etc/resolv.conf && echo route: && route -n

Above command must be ran as root in terminal to get all relevant info.

lshw and hwinfo must be installed before running below commands in Vector 7 Std Gold. You won't find them in Gslapt in Vector 7.

hwinfo-13.57-i686-1jsc.tgz

lshw-B.02.16-i686-1cf.txz


Commands I use are

Code:

lshw -C network

Code:

su -c "hwinfo --wlan"

Code:

su -c "hwinfo --netcard"

Happy Trails, Rok

Thanks Rok and keep ramblin.

[rokytnji]

Thanks Rok and keep ramblin.

Alrighty then, for wireless

Code:

dmesg|grep wlan0

Code:

readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver/module

For wired

Code:

dmesg|grep eth0

Code:

readlink /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver/module

Code:

whereis ifconfig
ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig /usr/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz /usr/X11/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz

I don't know if any Vector Linux members know of this search engine. So just posting the link here.

It makes a good bookmark.

Edit: as of Today. 12June2013. That link does not function properly. Sad day for me.

How to find if your computer supports a linux pae kernel

Code:

grep pae /proc/cpuinfo

If you get nothing on the  read out. You probably don't have a cpu that supports a pae kernel. Mine for a reference.

Code:

$ grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc up pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm

shows that this box (my M/C shop media center Emachine 3407 Desktop)  supports a linux pae kernel.

Just uploading some mtu's and .pls and .asx stuff so I can find later. Anybody else is welcome to them. I keep the extracted streaming folder in ~/Music. It's a bit of a mess though (duplicate .tar and stuff).

You can get a nice progress bar for dd by using the pv command. If pv isn't installed, it should be in the repository.

Code:

pv -tpreb [fullpathandfilenameoftheiso] | dd bs=4M conv=sync of=/dev/sdx

To record my desktop (change 1366x768 to your screen resolution eg; 1024x768)

with sound

Code:

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /home/username /Video/test2.avi

without sound. Below command just puts video in /home

Code:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 24 -an -threads 2 -sameq -i :0.0 screencast.avi

or below command puts video in ~/Video directory in /home

Code:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /home/username/Video/my-video.avi

find the space consuming files on the partition

Code:

du -sxh /*

Flash and its problems

Depending on my gear. If I have a Pentium 3, 512MB ram computer.

Linux

    2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel Atom 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooks
    Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 5.6 or later (32 bit and 64 bit), openSUSE® 11.3 or later (32 bit and 64 bit), or Ubuntu 10.04 or later (32 bit and 64 bit)
    Mozilla Firefox 17 or Google Chrome
    512MB of RAM; 128MB of graphics memory

One way I get around this is Install Grease Monkey first in my Browser.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

Then Install a couple of user scripts in Grease Monkey like
http://linterna-magica.nongnu.org/
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/151139

Another way I skin a cat is to run Adobe flashplayer 10.3 instead of 11.2.

     

Linux

    DownloadDownload the Linux Flash Player 10.3 Plugin content debugger (TAR.GZ, 5.60MB)
    DownloadDownload the Linux Flash Player 10.3 Projector content debugger (TAR.GZ, 4.59MB)
    DownloadDownload the Linux Flash Player 10.3 Projector (TAR.GZ, 4.25MB)

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10.3

MY IBM T23 Pentium 3, 1 Gig ram laptop streams you tube videos with no jerkiness or problems via a wirless pcmcia G card with Flash 10.3.

Just some other neato stuff for you tube

And be careful with "dd" aka disk distroyer. Make double sure of your /dev/sd??
or you might end with: see aka.
dd carries no warning!
