GRE preparation under Linux … WIP …
1) GRE Bible using wine

2) aptitude install dict dictd
3) Get Word Lists from : http://www.postech.ac.kr/~gla/gre/

testing endian issues on PC using QEMU
See the excellent article http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_mips_qemu.php.
After booting the Debian MIPS image:
aptitude update ; aptitude upgrade
aptitude install build-essential gcc rcconf openssh-server screen gdb
Test Program: http://dhiru.kholia.googlepages.com/endian_detect.c
OpenSolaris 2008.05 sucks big time! … WIP …
* The installer CD takes ages to load.
(KNOPPIX/ Hardy Heron Desktop loads much much faster!)
* The rounded GNOME buttons look plain ugly. Hire decent artists.
* no gcc on CD! wtf Sun?
* Retarted package manager. Damn slow!
Does it really download single files one by one? Come on at least publish software in archives. Just copy/use apt at least!
* The shutdown option from GNOME menu doesn’t work always!
* GCC version in repository is 90+MB !!! and is stuck at version 3.4.3
In which age are you living, Sun? At least give us 4.x
* This release is horrible. Better luck next time! *
Mercurial FTW! … WIP
- Compilation and installation takes less than 10 seconds.
- Does not clutter /usr/bin.
- Works flawlessly under M$ Windows.
- Plays nice with SVN.
- Easy to learn. (Takes < 5 minutes!)
Get it from: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/
Binary Packages: http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
bye bye git for now!
FIX: ssh openpty error session_pty_req session 0 alloc failed
Symptoms:
- ssh clients hangs.
- cat /var/log/auth.log shows openpty errors.
FIX:
/sbin/MAKEDEV tty
/sbin/MAKEDEV pty
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
Permanent:
add following to /etc/fstab
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
Vim 7 + Putty + Copy Paste
Problem: Doing right-click in vim makes vim go in “visual mode” and pasting doesn’t work.
Solution: Disable vim’s mouse support.
Edit /etc/vimrc and append “set mouse=”
Now it works. Thanks to #vim on FreeNode
Debug:
:verbose set mouse?
