Dual Screen under Linux

Tue, 2008/09/02 - 8:49pm — clemens

EDIT: When using a nvidea card run

sudo nvidea-xconfig --twinview

And just     Option "TwinViewOrientation"      "<relationship of head 1 to head 0>"

Problem still remains for multiple configurations like with or without a beamer.
-- EDIT END

Problem: difficulty to attach a beamer or secondary screen to X.

My development environment so far

Fri, 2008/08/22 - 1:40pm — clemens

Intro

These are my notes when doing my first (drupal) presentation @ FrOSCon 2008 Drupal Room

This method uses the concepts

  1. All drupal sites in directory www
  2. All site-config in a separate directory
  3. All site-data in a separate directory

This way an upgrade to another drupal version runs smoothly. Hmmm this was about developer environment.

Add new local domain

Why do I need this? To make sites like http://nf.test http://nf.dev or http://froscon.demo


sudo su -
echo 127.0.0.254 froscon.demo >> /etc/hosts

sending a file commandline with evolution

Wed, 2008/04/23 - 10:06am — clemens

While trying to send an png of size 4.5MB the following command is not performing.

/usr/bin/evolution mailto:example@example.com?attach=file:///home/clemens/image.png

cpu usage went up to 100% and stays there for at least 3 minutes.

The command is useful though.

annotate

Wed, 2008/04/16 - 11:35am — clemens

http://drupal.org/project/annotate

The module started as the transcribe module for annotating a node by an editor. When ready to commit the project to drupal is noted that the annotate project was quite similar in functionality so I submitted a merge request to the project maintainer. The maintainer stayed silent for far to long, so we decided to take over the project.

The annotate_ed module is now what the transcribe module was.

The project contains more modules

annotate
Makes it possible to make a private note to a node

My Drupal Modules

Wed, 2008/04/16 - 11:21am — clemens

I've build a few drupal modules. Mosts modules are paid for.

Installing swfmill and finding your friends

Thu, 2008/04/10 - 12:58pm — clemens

While reading the README for http://www.swfmill.org/ to compile non of the dev versions of libxml, libxsl, libfreetype and libpng where mentioned.

As it turned google this point me to http://www.burobjorn.nl/blog/?p=324 with the exact specs documented. Installing a lot dev versions.

I rather install packages then running ./configure && make && sudo make instll but following instruction is cool when they are working.

And this gem sudo /sbin/ldconfig -v I would never found.

Site management

Tue, 2008/03/25 - 10:16am — clemens

On the dev list Angela Byron is mentioning a lot of multi site modules. This is an extract from the discussion followed.

patterns
Module/system configurations that can be run at any time
hostmaster
Bryght's multisite hosting managed site deployment framework, which includes http://drupal.org/project/hosting and http://drupal.org/project/provision. See
http://groups.drupal.org/hm2 for more info

Drupal

It's quite handy to have a Drupal book.

enabling ipw3945 without ipw3945 kernel driver.

Sun, 2008/03/23 - 4:50pm — clemens

As Intel states on http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ this driver is deprecated and mine is not functional for WPA-2.

So I have to replace the driver IPW driver with the IWL driver from http://intellinuxwireless.org.

It turned out that my not functional IPW driver was due to how the passphrase for my wireless was stored with gnome-keyring-manager. It was stored into the 'default' keyring and not into the 'login' keyring. So this story title is not covering the end result. But still. The commands are useful to me and hopefully to you too.

Commands used are lsmod | grep ipw

Looking for typographic modules

Fri, 2008/03/21 - 10:24pm — clemens

Looking for some typographic modules I ran into these two

http://drupal.org/project/sifr
http://drupal.org/project/typogrify

But as far as I remember there are two modules for making graphical node Titles.

I ran into these to interested enough to read some day.
- http://drupal.org/project/guitar

For the developer:
- http://drupal.org/project/trace
- http://drupal.org/project/versioncontrol_svn

And this one has probably something similar as my drush_mm module:
- http://drupal.org/project/used_modules
