Tagsistant On Production (2)

In Ubuntu on 27 March 2010 with no comments 244 views

I’ve been waiting for someone to release a special-GUI-file manager to support Tagsistant. I decided not to wait and try out existing straightforward implementation (see previous post). I create a directory named tags inside my home and add an item on desktop session startup in System > Preferences > Startup Apllications containing this command tagsistant [...]

Hijri Calendar

In Ubuntu on 16 September 2009 with 1 comment 27 views

Not succeding to find Hijri Calendar in Synaptic, I go for http://www.ojuba.org/wiki/hijra/. First, let Google translate does the job. Secondly, install this python applet. Inside hijra-0.1.18 run $ sudo python setup.py install It’d fail as it couldn’t find HijriApplet. Rename HijriApplet.py to HijriApplet to make it work. Now, it is in path (/usr/bin/) and can [...]

Tagsistant (1)

In Ubuntu on 9 September 2009 with no comments 37 views

Installation of tagsistant requires SQLite and FUSE, in Ubuntu they are satisfied as libsqlite3-dev and libfuse-dev (which will also requires libselinux1-dev and libsepol1-dev). A series of configure, make, and make-install will fail during the make-install. /usr/local/share/pixmaps must be created first before running $ sudo make install After that I test tagsistant to organize /data/tags/ $ [...]

Queue Job To Be Executed At Certain Times

In General Linux, Ubuntu on 30 March 2009 with no comments 2 views

A series of command can be queued by using at command. There are slight variations between UNIXs for at command, the following example is for Ubuntu. Due to to the purpose of running it for OpenView managed nodes (this is some sort of trial-test), I put the job queue as if it was done through [...]

Add Script to Local Bin for Default Path

In Ubuntu on 22 February 2009 with no comments 1 views

By adding script to /usr/local/bin, it will become reachable. What reachable means is that it’ll be part of the default PATH echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games It supposed to be in executable permission (chmod +rx).
