You might find the following key-bindings useful. Uncomment the ones
you need removing the leading double-quotes.

$ echo $TERM
xterm-color

From ~/.vimrc:

 Valid names for keys are:  Up Down Left Right Home End
 S-Left S-Right S-Up PageUp S-Down PageDown  LeftMouse

 Many shells allow editing in Emacs Style.
 Although I love Vi, I am quite used to this kind of editing now.
 So here it is - command line editing commands in emacs style:
  cnoremap C-A  Home
  cnoremap C-B  Left
 cnoremap C-B  Del
  cnoremap C-E  End
  cnoremap C-F  Right

  cnoremap ESCb S-Left
  cnoremap ESCC-B S-Left
  cnoremap ESCf S-Right
  cnoremap ESCC-F S-Right
  cnoremap ESCC-H C-W

  imap C-A ESCI

Re: delay shutdown while backup (rsnapshot) is running

* Fabian Kürten (2010-07-01):
[...]
 Now my question: How can I prevent/delay the shutdown while rsnapshot is
 running. For your information, I am using gnome, so a solution working
 only for shutdowns via gnome system menu would be sufficient.

How does that system work?

You could run a shell script that checks for the rsnapshot process or
PID file. The script could either quit or loop when this is the case.

-snip
#!/bin/sh
#/usr/local/sbin/shutdown.sh

#detect rsnapshot process and exit 
pidof rsnapshot  echo Shutdown cancelled || shutdown -h now

#alternatively, use the PID file, and loop in a 10 min. interval
[ ! -e /var/run/rsnapshot.pid ]  RSNAPSHOT=0 || RSNAPSHOT=1
while [ ${RSNAPSHOT} == 1 ] ; do
  [ ! -e /var/run/rsnapshot.pid ]  RSNAPSHOT=0  break || sleep 600
done
shutdown -h now
-snap

Re: Moving to LVM

2009-03-18 Thread André Berger
* Stefan Monnier (2009-03-18):
  That said, two ext3 filesystems would be absolutely OK with me, as
  long as I could merge them virtually, so my movieplayer (dbox2) would
  have to access just one directory, and deleting files from that
  directory would result in deleting the original file (not just a
  symbolic link). I could create a more... symlink on disk1 pointing
  to disk2, but I really want everything in one directory,
  alphabetically. 
 
 You can play around with unionfs or mount --bind and things like that,
 but my recommendation is to not bother: they can be very useful for
 various situations, but from what I can tell it won't bring enough
 benefits in your case (e.g. in a unionfs, erasing a directory will only
 erase it from the top directory, not the underlying one).

I gave unionfs a try (etch 2.6.18 plus its unionfs module source,
self-compiled), was able to 'unify' my directories, and export the
union mount via NFS. However I can't get any client to mount them.
Regular NFS exports of /mnt/{mybook,samsung} with the same syntax
work, just to mention it.

  # mount -t nfs 192.168.1.5:/mnt/flicks -o

Tried the entire exports(5) arsenal of fsid,crossmnt,nohide etc.,
also exporting to a single host pp., no go. 

 Using symlinks might not always do exactly what you want, but symlinks
 are well understood by all the usual tools and can be manipulated
 without needing root proviledge, so it'll always be easy to see what's
 going on and to fix things.  That's not necessarily the case with
 funny mounts.

If only they were fun mounts.

Well, symlinks... I fear I'm at a point where I have to get used to
the idea.

* André Berger (2009-03-16):

(Replying to myself and trying to sum up your AQs)

Thank you all for the helpful discussion and detailed instructions,
_much appreciated_. 

I'm aware of the significance of backups, and keep redundant backups
of 'important' data. The files in question are 'just movies' I would
miss but could live without. Not that I wanted to avoid lose them
though.

That said, two ext3 filesystems would be absolutely OK with me, as
long as I could merge them virtually, so my movieplayer (dbox2) would
have to access just one directory, and deleting files from that
directory would result in deleting the original file (not just a
symbolic link). I could create a more... symlink on disk1 pointing
to disk2, but I really want everything in one directory,
alphabetically. 

Could mount --bind come to the rescue? But if I mounted one
directory 'over' another, it would 'cover' the original one, which
wouldn't be accessible any more, would it?

Moving to LVM

2009-03-16 Thread André Berger
Hi there!

I'm on Etch and have got two external USB disks, one GB each in size.
Disk1 contains one ext3 partition and my media files, and is full.
Disk2 is empty and should take future media files. I don't have a
third disk I could use for backups.

My plan is to create a Logical Volume Group to span two partitions
located on different disks, and export that LV group via NFS. If I
got it right (please correct me), I need partitions of type 8e on
both disks. So I thought I

1 partition disk2 8e 
2 create a LV group and add disk2/p1 to it
3 create an ext3 filesystem on the LV
3 copy the data from disk1/p1 to the LV
4 partition disk1/p1 8e
5 add disk1/p1 to the LV group
6 resize the LV ext3 filesystem to 2 TB, so it spans both disks resp.
  partitions

Does this sound right to you? Maybe you could help me with the
necessary command as well...  

What happens if, for whatever reason, just one of the disks is
available?

  See if the NSLU2 works for you. The NSLU2 (Slug) is a headless device,
 
 I've been toying for a while with getting a Buffalo Linkstation for
 this sort of thing.  Manufacturer recertified models are often
 available for as little as $60-$80 USD.  These prices include a HDD of
 several hundred GB, and the HW seems to be superior to the Slug in at
 least several ways (1000Mbit ethernet, internal HDDs plus USB
 support).  There's a pretty active hacking community:

 and they have a Debian page:
 
 http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Debian
 
 But I ultimately don't know if linux is as well supported on them as it
 is on the Slug.  Anyone have a more informed, experienced verdict on
 these Buffalo devices?

They run HardHatLinux out-of-the-box, and come with an FTP server.
Debian ('FreeLink') can be installed with more or less effort,
depending on the model. Alternatively, software can be added via ipkg
once you've 'opened' your device, or you could compile it yourself of
course. Some newer models even come with bittorrent client software. 

There's also a very nice alternative GPL firmware, foonas.

Re: Lightweight alternative to imagemagick?

2009-01-11 Thread André Berger
* Bob Cox (2009-01-11):
 I want to resize jpeg images (in order to create thumbnail images for a
 webpage) from a bash script and know that I can use 'convert' from the
 imagemagick package to achieve this.  This will be run on a (headless,
 no X) lenny/armel NSLU2 slug. 
 
 However, aptitude says that to install imagemagick requires 78 new
 packages, including x11-common, various gtk and font libraries - which
 will be irrelevant on the NSLU2.  Using the without-recommends switch in
 aptitude reduces the package count to 63 and choosing the
 'graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat' package rather than imagemagick
 brings it down to only 52 packages.  This still seems quite a lot and
 includes lots of font stuff and x11-common when all I want is the
 'convert' command.
 
 Does anyone know of a simpler, slimmer alternative for resizing jpegs
 from the command line please?

It all depends on your needs.

djpeg (from libjpeg-progs) Currently the scale factor must be  1/1, 1/2,  1/4,  
or  1/8.

If you're looking for photo gallery,

Super basic:

 If you have a resource-limited box, you probably don't want to run CUPS.
 What is it you're trying to do.  CUPS is only one of a few print spooler
 systems available.  

For home use, you could try p910nd http://p910nd.sourceforge.net/

Re: webdav davfs2 and file editing

2008-06-16 Thread André Berger
* Freddy Freeloader (2008-06-16):
 I am trying to get a working setup with webdav and davfs2 where I can  
 edit files from a remote webserver locally.  I can successfully access  
 the webdav directory and files and mount them on my workstation.  The  
 problem I'm running into is that most of the time I open a file to edit  
 it I get the following error message.

 The file  
 /media/dav2/administrator/components/com_reviews/toolbar.reviews.html.php 
 could not be opened properly and has been truncated. This can occur if  
 the file contains a NULL byte. Be aware that saving it can cause data 
 loss.

 This happens with about 60-70% of the php files on that website.  Is this 
 something to do with how the files were created?  I can edit the ones I 
 have problems with on the server if I ssh into it and use vi. 

Maybe an MTU problem; Jumbo Frames in your network?

 I don't know about starting cups on demand, but the more recent

 isn't in backports, but you could get it from the sourceforge site.

Thanks Kelly. There are quite a few dependencies, I will need some

   will now get raw data numbers and stuff. So one turns off the
   printer and removes the job from the queue. Problem is that as soon
   as the printer is turned on, the garbage continues. Short of
   rebooting, there seems no way to stop the beast. Restarting cupsd
   does not help.
   
   Any ideas on how to get it cleaned out without a hard reboot?
  
  Method 1
  In your browser visit
  http://localhost:631/
  (localhost:631 works for me).
  Click on the Jobs tab,  identify the job on the list of print jobs
  (probably the last one) and click on the Cancel button.
  
  Method 2
  In Gnome, open the printer icon in the top panel.
  
  (Alternatively, from the desktop menu:
  Desktop - Administration - Printing - Your-printer-icon
  (double-click).)
  
  Identify the job on the list of print jobs, right-click on the job
  for the context menu and click on Cancel.
 
 Yes, if the job was sent via CUPS. If it was sent using lpr, then lpq
 and lprm are the right tools.

Don't forget cancel resp. cancel -a on CUPS.
