Creating symlinks in Finder

2011-07-24T16:03:00.001+08:00

I use Dropbox to back up my files, among other uses. And I've been using Gnome for years, instead of copying directories and files that I want to backup into the Dropbox folder, I would just create symlinks to them using Nautilus. And doing that has been very easy.

I thought I can do that with Finder as well, but I was wrong. What I did was dragging a folder into the Dropbox folder, while pressing Cmd + Option. While it was showing a similar "shortcut" icon, it didn't do what expected it to do.

Instead, it created a new file, that is probably similar to Gnome .desktop file (though a .desktop file is essentially a text file). To have a similar behavior in Finder, I had to install a Service, SymbolicLinker .

A new "Make Symbolic Link" entry will now appear in the menu when you click on a folder. Although its a bit inconvenient, I can live with that. (though I miss Ubuntu & Gnome already)

The Case of Expired Debug Certificate

2011-07-04T09:17:00.001+08:00

This morning I tried to compile an Android application using Eclipse, and got this error:

Error generating final archive: Debug Certificate expired on 7/3/11 3:41 PM

Referring to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2194808/debug-certificate-expired-error-in-eclipse-android-plugins, the Android SDK only generates a Debug Certificate that is only valid for 365 days.

To solve this, just delete the debug.keystore file which is by default located in ~/.android/ (Linux & Mac OS X)

NetworkManager 0.71 Package for FRESH Jaunty Installation

2009-10-13T14:03:00.004+08:00

Greetings.

This is the NetworkManager 0.71 package for a FRESH Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop. It was packaged for the recently held installation fest in KICT, IIUM, so students would have easy access to both IIUM wireless and any mobile broadband service (yes, you don't need wvdial!). I have included a shell script for installing included packages, so do not install each of the *.deb packages manually because you may break some packages. The script was written in rush a few hours before the installation fest, and I have not revisit it since then. So, I should warn you that it might not work for a non-fresh Jaunty Desktop installation. You may try, but do it at your own risk.

The New NetworkManager: IIUM Wireless Supported

2009-09-01T07:01:00.004+08:00

Hi all.

Sorry for not writing for quite a long time. I have a lot of things in mind, just didn't feel like writing. Anyway, I have a good news for IIUM folks running Ubuntu, or any other distros. Quite a month ago, the new NetworkManager is released, and it supports (finally) IIUM wireless. So if you had followed the temporary workaround here to install the previous version of NetworkManager, please do STEP 1, as you need to unlock the packages first before installing the new ones.

Else, go to STEP 2.

STEP 1 (If you had followed the guide here)

Unlocking packages:

#echo "network-manager install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
#echo "network-manager-gnome install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
#echo "dhcdbd install"| sudo dpkg --set-selections
#echo "gnome-system-tools install"| sudo dpkg --set-selections
#echo "libnm-glib0 install"| sudo dpkg --set-selections
#echo "libnm-util0 install" | sudo dpkg –set-selections

Now, go to STEP 2 :-D

STEP 2

Then add the NetworkManager PPA to the list of repositories, for Jaunty (others, read here):

#echo -e "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main\ndeb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Then do upgrades:

#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get upgrade

You might get key error, read the site given above to fix it. Enjoy! :-)

SVN Tutorial #1

2009-06-26T08:02:00.018+08:00

Hello to all readers :-). I'll be writing a few series of tutorial on SVN, starting from today. I am neither an SVN expert nor an experience user. But I would like to share with you my knowledge, though very little on SVN.

So, what is this SVN thing that I have been talking about? According to the world's greatest source of plagiarism, Wikipedia:
“Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc”

So it is a version control system, or some put it as a revision control system. It is popularly used by a lot of open source projects, to manage and maintain versioning of projects, so if you are not a programmer, you can skip reading this whole section. I was kidding :-p, I suggest you to continue reading. In general, anything that has to with “version”, may use this software or system to manage them. Not only source codes, you can also use it to manage your documents, notes, shopping list, graphics or anything. But bear in mind, as it is a version control, it may not be really suitable for things that do not change often, like your movie collection, you wouldn't edit each of them every day and keep a revision of every movie you had edited, would you? Hmm, I think I better get started, giving too much definition wouldn't help much, let's see SVN in action.

First, install the SVN (also available for Windows). For Ubuntu, just do the apt-get thingy:

$sudo apt-get install svn

While waiting for the installation to finish, the SVN tool that you are downloading now is a command line based tool, there also exist a number of GUI client, but I'll be explaining everything here in command line. Let me explain you its concept, you will have an SVN repository, where you will upload your files, or versions of files onto it. But you won't be working directly inside the repository, instead you will have what is called as a Working Copy (wc), where you can download files from the repository, or upload files onto it. The repository will keep versions of your files in it, so you never overwrite anything, you simply upload a new version if you had made any changes to any files in your working directory.

Setting Up SVN Repository

Now, let's create a repository, fire up a terminal window and type:

$ svnadmin create ~/myrepo

Let say you have some files in your ~/Document/mywork directory:

$ ls ~/Document/mywork
helloworld.c readme.txt

Let's upload these two files into myrepo:

$ svn import ~/Documents/mywork file:///home/jebon/myrepo/mywork_repo -m "First time import"

What the above command just did was creating mywork_repo repository, where you will be uploading your files to later on. It also imported files in your mywork directory and set a message “First time import” for your reference. Be careful with the "file:///" syntax, because the address could be remote, you have to follow that syntax. However, the first directory used the normal convention. Each time you upload file(s), or commit change(s), you may set a new message. So you may have different messages for different versions of you work.

To see the files in your repository, type:

$ svn list -v file:///home/jebon/myrepo/mywork_repo
1 jebon Jun 25 22:37 ./
1 jebon 73 Jun 25 22:37 helloworld.c
1 jebon 42 Jun 25 22:37 readme.txt

where '1' in the first column of every row indicates the version number. Since you have just commited your first “changes”, it makes sense it printed 1.

Working Copy

As you have imported files you will be working on to the repository, let's not bother with the ~/Documents/mywork for now. As I mentioned earlier, you will have a 'working copy' where it contains files you are currently working on. First, you have to create it using "svn checkout":

$ svn checkout file:///home/jebon/myrepo/mywork_repo ~/Documents/my_wc
A /home/jebon/Documents/my_wc/readme.txt
A /home/jebon/Documents/my_wc/helloworld.c
Checked out revision 1.

You have just created a working copy in ~/Documents named my_wc. Now, go to that directory and do:

$ cd ~/Documents/my_wc
$ svn status -v
1 1 jebon .
1 1 jebon readme.txt
1 1 jebon helloworld.c

It will show you the output like above, meaning you had just created a working copy which contains files from your previously created repository. If you type “ls”, you would see the same files listed. SVN is developed for multi user environment, many users can access the repository, download files, change them, and upload the changes back to the repository. But newer changes never overwrite the older ones, they are simply new versions of particular files. As such, you need to update your working copy, to get the most recent version of files from the repository, thought in this example, since you are working alone, it is not necessary. Anyway, just try this command to update your working copy:

$ svn update
At revision 1.
$ svn status -v
1 1 jebon .
1 1 jebon readme.txt
1 1 jebon helloworld.c

As you can see, no changes is made to your working copy (my_wc directory), since it has the most recent version of files. Now, edit helloworld.c file with you preferred text editor. Be careful, do not edit files in your repository, you may break the repository, you should only work in your working copy directory, my_wc, if you have forgotten. When you have edited and saved the file, type:

$ svn status -v
1 1 jebon .
1 1 jebon readme.txt
M 1 1 jebon helloworld.c

A character “M” appears at the line containing helloworld.c indicating the file has been Modified. You'll be seeing other characters too later on, to indicate the attribute of a particular file.

Committing to Repository

If you want to commit (upload) the changes you made to the file to the repository, use:

$ svn commit -m "I have modified helloworld.c file"
Sending helloworld.c
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 2.
$ svn status -v
1 1 jebon .
1 1 jebon readme.txt
2 2 jebon helloworld.c

svn status -v shows that helloworld.c is at revision 2, while readme.txt is still at revision 1, since you modified and commited (svn automatically commited only modified file(s)) only helloworld.c file. Take note the quoted string after the -m argument, as I said earlier, you can associate a message with every changes you commit.

Read, Read, Read!

You should have some basic idea about revision system now, you work in another directory and commit it to the repository, which can be a remote host. I think I would stop here for my first SVN tutorial, but you may check the help page of SVN to learn other commands. To find out what arguments can be pass to svn command, type:

$ svn help

if you want a help on specific argument, say update, do

$ svn help update

svnadmin is a different command (you used it to create your repository previously), but for help the argument is similar:

$ svnadmin help

for specific argument, say create

$ svnadmin help create

If you want to read more, fortunately, the SVN team provides you a free book, get it from http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Here is a summary of command you should have learned from this tutorial:
svnadmin create – to create a repository
svn import –to import files into your repository
svn list – to list files in a repository
svn checkout – to create a working copy
svn status – to list files in a working copy and associated status
svn update – to update your working copy with the most recent version of files from the repository
svn commit – to commit changes of you made to the repository

This is my first time writing such tutorial, so there will be flaws, mistakes, unclear explanations and so on. Forgive me for that. This is part of my learning process too. Some people say, teaching is the best way to learn. Do write comments, suggestions, or whatever. You can even give some donation :-p. See you soon, do your homework!. (I'll certainly do mine)

How to: Setting up IIUM wireless in Windows 7 RC1

2009-06-25T13:43:00.043+08:00

Last night, I installed Windows 7 RC1 (upgraded from the retarded Vista, not a clean installation). After restoring my Grub (yep, Ubuntu is still my primary OS), I tried to connect to IIUM wireless network, without configuring anything. I just wanted to know whether the existing application (provided by IIUM ITD) and setting installed in Vista would work. Well, it didn’t work. So I removed the application and reinstall it again, and surprisingly, the installer detected my Windows 7 as Windows XP. Then, I tried the older version of the installer, again, with no luck. So I googled a bit, and found one blog, I think it’s belong to an ITD staff. He said the installer was not compatible with Win 7 and he instead uses the Cisco’s own software (of course, he has a Cisco card :-p) to connect to the wireless network. Luckily, after some more googling, I found this software, SecureW2. Well, you can read on its website to know more but I’ll just explain briefly how to set it up with IIUM wireless.

First, install the software, and when prompted to “Select components to install”, make sure you tick both GTC and PEAP.

After you have finished installing the software, follow these steps to set up the connection:
On your start menu, go to SecureW2 --> PEAP Manager (Yes, you may search)
A window will be pop up as below, click New

Then on the dialog box, enter “iium”. You may enter anything else, but you better stick with it, to avoid confusion when following later steps.

Click OK, and a new window will appear magically. Tick “Use alternate outer identity:”

And then, click Advanced, another window will appear. Just tick “Use empty outer identity (RFC 4822), then click OK.

Now go to “Certificates Tab”, untick “Verify server certificate”

Then, go to the next tab, “Authentication”. Enter details as follow:

Select Authentication Method: EAP
EAP Type: SecureW2 EAP-GTC

Click “User account” tab, untick "Prompt user for credentials"
Enter your username and password, leave the domain field blank. Then Click OK for this window and another OK for the previous (parent) window (and possibly there are others, too) .

Now you are done with SecureW2 configuration. You still have a few things to configure, right click on the network icon on the notification area, and choose “Open Network and Sharing Center”. Then click "Manage wireless networks" on the popup window.

Then on the popup window, again, (This is why it’s call Windows) Click add, and a dialog will popup. Choose "Manually create a network profile"

Enter details as below

Then click next, and click “change connection settings”

On security tab, as do as below

Then click Settings, choose iium, Then click OK for all windows

Then click on the network icon, click iium-community and connect. You should be connected to the wireless network now. If a dialog pop up asks for an "identity", enter you user name. If it asks for a "response", that should be your password.
Quite a long step, huh? Good luck :-)

New Design!

2009-06-23T10:37:00.002+08:00

Hello guys!
Haven't been writing for a while, kind of busy actually. Anyway I have an exam tomorow, Network Programming. I love this subject. Well, I've just changed my blog's theme, got it from http://www.btemplates.com. What do you think?

Anyway, enough for now, I have to study :-(. But I'll be writing on SVN soon. See you :-)

Renung-renungkan, dan selamat beramal. heheh :-D

Melihat 'Progress' Semasa Menyalin Fail di Dalam Terminal

2009-06-14T12:56:00.004+08:00

Sering kali apabila anda menyalin fail atau direktori menggunakan arahan 'cp' di terminal, anda tidak tahu sebanyak mana fail atau direktori tersebut telah disalinkan, kerana tiada paparan menunjukkan peratusan fail yang telah disalin. Ia tidak sama seperti menggunakan 'file browser' seperti nautilus di mana jumlah fail (atau sebahagian dari sesuatu fail) yang telah disalin dapat dilihat pada tetingkap dialog yang dipaparkan. Tapi penggunaan arahan 'cp' tidak memberikan and maklumat ini. Sebagai contoh, jika anda menggunakan arahan ini:

$ cp -vR /home/mine/Source /home/mine/Documents/

Dengan munggunakan arahan 'cp' bersama opsyen 'v' ("verbose)", apa yang dipaparkan hanyalah nama fail-fail yang telah disalin. Tetapi bagaimana jika fail yang and mahu salinkan itu bersaiz 1GB? Opsyen 'v' dalam hal ini tidak akan memaparkan apa-apa selagi fail tersebut belum selesai disalinkan. Walau bagaimanapun, anda masih boleh menggunakan cara lain, sebagai contoh arahan 'pv'. 'pv' adalah "Pipe Viewer", di mana ia mampu untuk menunjukkan jumlah data yang sedang dipindah melalui “paip”. Dalam hal ini, ia boleh digunakan untuk menyalin fail dan pada masa yang sama memaparkan jumlah data yang telah dipindahkan dan tempoh masa yang masih tinggal untuk melengkapkan proses tersebut. 'pv' tidak termasuk di dalam pemasangan Ubuntu yang asli (default, sesuaikah perkataan itu?). Namun begitu, seperti biasa, apa yang anda perlu lakukan hanyalah:

$ sudo apt-get install pv

Untuk menggunakan 'pv' untuk menyalin fail pula, sintaksnya adalah seperti berikut:

$ pv [asal] > [destinasi]

Contohnya:

$ pv /home/mine/Downloads/sabily-9.04-desktop-i386-small.iso > ./sabily.iso
55MB 0:00:08 [4.84MB/s] [> ] 5% ETA 0:02:07

Jika anda perhatikan, tidak seperti 'cp', anda perlu menyatakan sekali nama fail tersebut (“sabily.iso”) pada destinasi yang anda mahu letakkan dan ini mungkin sedikit menyusahkan. Dan lebih malang lagi, dengan menggunakan cara ini, anda tidak boleh menyalin direktori seperti menggunakan 'cp' dengan opsyen 'R'. Tetapi jangan risau, masih ada cara lain untuk menyalin fail dan direktori, sambil memaparkan petunjuk (jumlah data dan masa yang masih perlu disalin). Untuk tujuan ini, anda boleh menggunakan 'rsync'. Saya tidak pasti sama ada 'rsync' disertakan sekali bersama pemasangan Ubuntu yang asli. Jika tidak ada, apt-get sajalah :-).

'rsync' bukan sahaja boleh digunakan untuk pemindahan fail secara jarak jauh (remote sync=rsync), tapi boleh digunakan untuk memindah file di dalam hos yang sama (local). Penggunaannya untuk tujuan ini adalah mudah, seperti 'cp':

$ rsync -r --progress [direktori_asal] [destinasi]

Contohnya:

$ rsync -r --progress /home/mine/Downloads .
sending incremental file list
Downloads/
Downloads/186.03_notebook_win7_32bit_international_whql.exe
29130752 24% 4.54MB/s 0:00:19

akan menyalin “Downloads” dan fail-fail di dalamnya masuk ke dalam 'current' direktori. Opsyen 'r' adalah untuk menyalin direktori dan isinya (recursive) dan opsyen 'progress' untuk memaparkan petunjuk. Tetapi hati-hati, 'r' tidak sama dengan 'R', tidak seperti di dalam 'cp'.

Untuk mendapatkan maklumat cara penggunaan arahan-arahan di atas dengan lebih lanjut, silalah merujuk kepada 'man page' mereka.

Selamat mencuba :-D

Terminator: Salvation

2009-06-07T10:45:00.006+08:00

Nope, you guessed it wrong :-p. This is not a film review, its just another geeky article. The title is pretty misleading, but it is indeed about a terminator :-). Yeah, Terminator. Terminator is actually a terminal emulator, like gnome-terminal, written for linux-based OS. The most notable feature of Terminator is it ~~runs skynet~~ supports multiple terminal in a single window. If you use terminals most of the time, maybe you'll find this application is very usable. I have indeed set my default terminal to Terminator (System → Preferences → Preferred Applications).

That's the Terminator in action. Two vim editors, netstat, and a couple of cows (?) running in a single window!. The configuration is also pretty easy, in fact you don't need to do anything. Just install and run it. You can run multiple terminals by right-clicking inside the Terminator window.
It is not a new application, and I have known about it for some time actually. The reason I installed it is because I am doing most of my coding now with vim. Maybe I will write an article about vim :-) later.

So,

$ sudo apt-get install terminator

But beware, John Connor might come after you!

Mount Partition Windows Secara Automatik Ketika Daftar Masuk (Login)

2009-06-03T10:18:00.000+08:00

Ramai pengguna Ubuntu (Linux secara umum) membuat pemasangan secara dual-boot dengan Windows. Ini menyebabkan pengguna-pengguna Ubuntu sekali sekala atau kerap kali ingin mengakses partition Windows mereka, sebagai contoh untuk mengakses fail-fail yang telah mereka ciptakan di situ. Walau bagaimanapun, pengguna-pengguna terpaksa mount partition setiap kali mereka boot ke dalam Ubuntu meraka. Mungkin adalah lebih baik untuk membiarkan Ubuntu secara automatik mount partition Windows yang kita mahukan. Di sini, saya ingin memberi anda salah satu cara (ya ada banyak cara lain) untuk menetapkan Ubuntu supaya mount secara automatik setiap kali anda daftar masuk ke dalam Ubuntu anda:

Pertama sekali, anda mesti tahu partition apa yang anda mahu mount. Klik pada Places di menu (panel atas), dan klik pada partition yang anda mahu mount. Kemungkinan besar anda akan diminta untuk memberikan kata laluan anda.
Kemudian, buka Terminal dan taip mount. Lihat pada baris yang memaparkan nama partition yang baru sahaja anda mountkan.
/dev/sda2 on /media/DATA type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
Seperti contoh saya telah mount partition dengan label DATA. Sekarang, di dalam terminal yang sama, taip:
gedit ~/.profile
Sebuah tetingkap gedit akan terbuka. Pergi ke baris terakhir, dan tambahkan baris ini:
gnome-mount -d /dev/sda2
Tukarkan sda2 dengan apa yang telah dipaparkan kepada anda pada langkah 2.
Kemudian, tutup tetingkap gedit dan kembali kepada terminal yang sama. Taip:
gedit ~/.bash_logout
Sekali lagi, tetingkap gedit akan dibuka. Pergi ke baris akhir dan tambahkan baris ini:
sudo gnome-mount --unmount -d /dev/sda2
Anda juga perlu menukarkan sda2 seperti langkah 4.
Sekarang tutup tetingkap gedit dan terminal. Unmount partition-partition yang terlibat tadi, klik-kanan pada ikon partition yang berkaitan di Desktop. Kemudian klik unmount.
Daftar keluar dan masuk semula. Partition anda sepatutnya telah dimount secara automatik. Anda hanya perlu klik pada ikonnya di Desktop.

Semoga berjaya :-D

Another funny bug :-D

2009-05-31T12:37:00.000+08:00

Perhaps some of you are still wondering where this blog got its name. "aptgetmoo" is actually "apt-get moo", part of apt-get package handling utility included in Ubuntu and some other distros. Try typing it in your Ubuntu terminal:

apt-get moo

And you should get this:

Have you?hehe. So what about the bug? Read it yourself here. They even proposed a new ASCII cow :-)

Pepijat no. 1 Ubuntu

2009-05-29T22:01:00.000+08:00

Pertama sekali, pepijat ialah bug :-p. Setelah beberapa tahun menggunakan Ubuntu, baru sebentar tadi saya tahu tentang pepijat no. 1 Ubuntu yang telah dilaporkan sendiri oleh Mark Shuttleworth (pencipta Ubuntu). Apakah pepijat tersebut?
"Microsoft has a majority market share"
Haha kelakar :-D tetapi Ubuntu sebenarnya sangat serius dalam menyaingi Microsoft.

Slow Booting and Mounting USB Devices

2009-05-21T16:34:00.000+08:00

A couple of days ago, my Jaunty took a longer time to boot than usual. It annoyed me more when mounting USB devices (including my mouse!) also took almost unreasonable-two-minutes. At first, I thought it was an ext4 bug, as from what I read it is quite unstable for the current kernel included in Jaunty. I didn't think I had done something wrong to my Jaunty, especially installing any hardware related application. I searched through the forums and also Launchpad and found some cases of slow booting but nothing quite similar to mine. Fortunately I did discover this one useful tool, Bootchart. It logs activities during booting process and draws a graph to show the sequence of processes and time taken by each of them. Using Bootchart (can be installed through synaptic or apt-get), I discovered a process, udevadm, took longer than a minute to finish.

The image generated by Bootchart is quite large, so click here to view.

From my understanding, udev is a process, if I can put it so, that manages devices connected to a computer (running Ubuntu and some other distros, of course). Quite related to my USB issue, isn't it?. Then I did dpkg-reconfigure to the some packages I suspected related to udev and yet the problem persisted. After searching the forums and googling for some time, I found one solution pertaining slow booting in Launchpad. It said to delete a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/. Then I saw this one file in that directory, “99-btnx.rules”. And Btnx is actually a daemon that provides extra functionalities to my wireless Logitech mouse. Only then did I realized my mistake, I had turned on one option in the btnx setting (btnx-config) of which I'd thought will solve a problem regarding my wireless mouse.

So I turned off the option and tried plugging in my USB thumbdrive. In a couple of seconds, it showed on the Desktop. Feeling that I had already solved the problem, I rebooted my machine. To my relief, it booted up as fast as before the problem occurred. What a waste of time, a simple tick should have saved hours of searching through the Internet.

Now Jaunty boots less than 30 seconds. Here's the obligatory screenshot :-).

How to Connect to IIUM Wireless Network in Ubuntu 9.04

2009-05-16T12:59:00.000+08:00

Just like Ubuntu 8.10, the newest version of Ubuntu (9.04) does not work with IIUM Wireless (SSID: iium-community) out of the box. This is because the lack of support for PEAP-GTC in the current version of NetworkManager included in both versions of Ubuntu. And just like Ubuntu 8.10, the workaround is to replace the Jaunty's NetworkManager with Hardy's. There's a downside, as Hardy's NetworkManager does not provide support for wireless broadband services like Celcom and Maxis broadband. As such, configuring the wireless broadband will become harder once the NetworkManager is replaced with the Hardy's one. Fortunately, :-) there is also a workaround for that, using gnome-ppp which relies on wvdial, can detect and connect to the wireless broadband. I made a simple script bundled with required packages to replace Jaunty's NetworkManager (I am yet to learn Bash scripting, so sorry it's not really good).

Download the bundled package here.
Extract the downloaded zip file into your home directory
Open a terminal, type
cd NetworkManagerHardy_forJaunty
Then make the script executable,
sudo chmod u+x install-nm.sh
Then type,
sudo ./install-nm.sh

After the installation, you can try connecting the wireless network. If it doesn't work, try rebooting your Ubuntu.

For those having wireless broadband access, install gnome-ppp (it will automatically install wvdial):

sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

After the installation, you can run gnome-ppp from Applications → Internet → Gnome PPP.

To set up the connection in gnome-ppp very is easy, and I am too lazy to write it here :-p. I have tried it with both Celcom and Maxis broadband, using several modems and mobile phones. They worked! :-D
