RDI en direct sous Linux
Depuis quelques temps, j’arrive à écouter sans problème le flux video de Radio-Canada sous Ubuntu Linux. Il en va pas de même avec tous les vidéos sur le site cependant.
Je ne sais trop comment je suis abouti à la bonne configuration. Dans tout les cas, il faut se procurer les codecs appropriés dans les bons [...]
Installing Spim/Xspim
Spim is A MIPS32 Simulator freely available for Linux, Mac and Windows. The process for installing the software from source is not as nice as we would expect it to be.
Download source code from:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/SPIM/spim.tar.gz
You will probably need to get Bison and Flex:
sudo apt-get install bison flex
Don’t forget:
sudo apt-get install libxaw7-dev
Otherwise you’ll get “X11/Xaw/Cardinals.h: No such [...]
Check start up date under Linux
Obviously “uptime” provides that information but only gives the number of days. On one of my server, it shows:
01:39:53 up 445 days, 11:15, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
But when did that happen ? I don’t know any option which can compute the actual date using uptime.
I realized the other day that [...]
Per process disk read/write monitoring
One of the most annoying thing for me is to hear this clicking noise coming from my hard drive. Last day, while I was trying to concentrate on some algorithms, there was this sound coming out of my laptop which was starting to drive me crazy. The frequency was constant and continuous, so I asked [...]
3 useful applications
I’ve just discovered these 3 applications two days ago and I think it worth to give it a try.
Conky
Conky is lightweight system monitor. Screenlets might be great, but I don’t find it integrated good enough to my desktop and makes my session to load slower. Conky is available in the Ubuntu repos.
Terminator
I was normally [...]
Bluetooth et le Macbook Pro 4.1 sous Ubuntu Hardy
Je n’arrivais pas à faire fonctionner ma sourie bluetooth au cours des dernières semaines. Toutes les indications sur les forums ou dans les tutoriels indiquaient que le bluetooth devait fonctionner parfaitement dans les dernières versions d’Ubuntu. Pourtant, je n’arrivais pas à faire apparaître aucun dispositif bluetooth par l’applet bluetooth-manager de gnome. En passant en ligne [...]
Recevoir des appels en provenance d’un téléphone sur Ekiga
Ayant réussi à configurer Ekiga pour appeler à des numéro de téléphones, j’ai songé après tout à me procurer un numéro de téléphone pour recevoir des appels également en Voip sur mon ordinateur. La qualité du service de diamondcard.us m’a semblé bonne et peut-être même meilleure que celle de Skype concernant la fluidité de transfert [...]
Configuring Ekiga for PC-To-Phone calls
Eventhough you can run Skype on Linux system as described in my last post, I think some more flexible and open options worth to be set.
Ekiga is one of them and is available out of the box in Ubuntu.
Installing Skype under Hardy 64 bits
When installing Ubuntu on my laptop, I made the choice to run it in 64 bits mode having in mind that it might lead to various problems. One of them, is to get Skype running. Since this product is proprietary, no package can be created for 64 bits. You still can get it work by [...]
Getting wireless driver to work on MBP 4.1 and 64 bits
Unfortunately, it seems that the wireless device used in the Macbook Pro 4.1 has no linux driver yet. Ndiswrapper has to be used instead. After uncompressing the rar file named broadcomxpinstaller.exe, simply use the file bcmwl5.inf for a 64 bits installation even if broadcominstaller64.exe is also provided. I updated the Ubuntu wiki to precise it. [...]
MPLAB 7.60 under Wine
In a nutshell (supposing you start from scratch):
$ sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
$ rm .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microchip -rf (to remove anything that failed)
$ wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks vcrun6
$ wget http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/mp760a.zip
$ unzip mp760a.zip -d microchip
$ wine Install_MP760a.exe
$ wineserver -k (to get rid of splash screen at the end of install)
$ sh winetricks dcom98
$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microchip/MPLAB IDE/Core/MPLAB.exe
I [...]
Converting uif images to ISO under Linux
Unfortunately, it seems that no program is available yet to handle that kind of (proprietary) file format under Linux. The only solution left (except to install Windows) is to use MagicISO under Linux using wine.
With Ubuntu, this simply is a matter of typing:
$sudo apt-get install wine (if not installed)
$wine path/to/Setup_MagicISO.exe
$wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MagicISO/MagicISO.exe
I haven’t tried the [...]
Set syntax color highlighting and line numbering in vim
Simply add these lines to your ~/.vimrc:
:syntax enable
:set number
You will end up with a nice interface that may looks like this:
