+# CD device you want to read from

+# Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create

+# NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
+# Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type

+# Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format

+# subdirectory.
+#PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE} - ${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
+# If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
+# string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option

+#VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'

+# Custom filename munging:
+# By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful
+# filename:
+# * Translate colons to a space and a dash for Windows compatibility
+# * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
+# * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores
+# * Translate stars into pluses.
+# To change that, redefine the mungefilename function.
+# mungefilename receives the CDDB data (artist, track, title, whatever)
+# as $1 and outputs it on stdout.
+mungefilename ()
+{
+	echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr /\* _+ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]

+# function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
+# Uppercase.
+#mungegenre ()

+
+# Custom pre-read function
+# By default it does nothing.
+# You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
+# * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by 
+#   your CD device.
+# * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also 
+#   set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
+# KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or

+# Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.

+bash
+====
+
+To only show the last 2 directories in prompt, there are two scripts at the [Muffin Research Labs](http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2007/09/25/showing-last-two-directories-of-pwd-in-bash-prompt/).
+The best one would be this:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+function PWD {
+    tmp=${PWD%/*/*};
+    [ ${#tmp} -gt 0 -a "$tmp" != "$PWD" ] && echo \<${PWD:${#tmp}+1} || echo $PWD;
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Add this to `.bash_profile` and replace `\w` by `$(PWD)` (note the parents!) in your `PS1` line in that file.
+
+A more comfort version which replaces the home directory by a tilde, is the following. I changed the function name to
+`PWD2` to highlight the difference to the normal `PWD` variable.
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+function PWD2 {
+    xpwd=${PWD/$HOME/"~"};
+    tmp=${xpwd%/*/*};
+    [ ${#tmp} -gt 0 -a "$tmp" != "$xpwd" ] && echo «${xpwd:${#tmp}+1} || echo $xpwd;
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+
+zsh
+===
+
+The zsh has this feature built-in. Use this to show only 2 parts of the PWD:
+
+    %3(~.«.)%2~
+
+This says: If `%~` (the prompt incl. replacements such as `~` for homedir) has 3 or more parts, show `«`.
+After that show 2 parts of `%~`.

+Simultaneous playback
+=====================
+
+The `festival` text-to-speech synthesizer seems to use normal ALSA playback instead of PulseAudio. This leads to it
+failing when there's already something playing. E.g. if you're listening to music with *Rhythmbox*, *festival* fails
+with this message:
+
+    Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
+
+To make it use PulseAudio, we can re-route the audio through the `pacat` utility as proposed on [this bugreport](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467531).
+Just add these few lines to your `/usr/share/festival/init.scm`:
+
+~~~
+(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "pacat --channels=1 --rate=$SR $FILE")
+(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
+(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'raw)
+~~~
+
+**Note:** I had to use `raw` as the required format since the `snd` from the bugreport gave me loud noise instead of
+speech. `raw` works fine.
+
+
+Announcing system errors
+========================
+
+On [fedorabook.com](http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/42-Productive-Monday-Festival-Speech) I
+found this little script which will read every new line from `/var/log/messages`:
+

+[wcd](http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/) is a tool which catalogs all directories of your $HOME (can be configured to
+catalog the whole drive) and then lets you type `wcd Desktop` and switches over to your `~/Desktop` from wherever you
+are. Or you can type `wcd "Rammstein*"` and it will show you a list of your Rammstein-albums of your `~/Music`-directory
+and jump to your choice.
+
+The Ubuntu-Package is very outdated, so you better download the file from the homepage. Unpack it in `/usr/local`:
+
+    /usr/local% sudo tar xvzf wcd-4.1.0-linux.tar.gz
+
+This will put a `wcd.exe` to your `/usr/local/bin` which is the main executable. But *wcd* doesn't work by directly
+calling it, you have to add a function to your shell. But the following code into your `.bash_profile` or `.zshrc`:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+# wcd
+function wcd {
+    /usr/local/bin/wcd.exe -i -K -G $HOME $*
+    . $HOME/wcd.go
+    rm $HOME/wcd.go
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+This advises *wcd* to put the `cd`-command into a file `~/wcd.go` which is afterwards sourced by your shell to actually
+complete the `cd`. You can also type `wcd -g` to start the graphical `cd`. The switches `-i -K` make *wcd* ignore cases
+and put it in color-mode (for the `-g` UI).
+
+<p><div class="noteclassic" markdown="1">
+Before using it the first time, you might have to issue a `wcd -s` which will scan your $HOME.
+</div></p>

+To use USB devices under e.g. [VirtualBox](http://virtualbox.org/) in *Hardy*, edit the file
+`/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh` and find the line:
+
+    # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
+
+Remove the following four comments so that it looks like this:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+#
+# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
+#
+mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
+domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
+ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
+mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Also add the following line to your `/etc/fstab` (*129* is the group-ID of *vboxusers*)[^1]:
+
+    none     /proc/bus/usb     usbfs     devgid=129,devmode=0666    0     0
+
+Now enable the new settings by doing:
+
+    sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh stop
+    sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start
+
+Finally, edit the file `/etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules` and find the line containing the `usb_device`
+subsystem. Extend the permissions to `0666` like this:
+
+    SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", MODE="0666"
+
+Save the file and you should be able to use USB devices inside VirtualBox guest systems.
+
+According to [Ubuntu Unleashed](http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-install-virtualbox-in-hardy-heron.html),
+you might have to add 2 lines to the `/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh` for the *usbfs* to get mounted automatically upon boot.
+
+I'm also not sure about the permissions. It might work also using `0664` or even `0644`.

+Creating
+========
+
+ext3
+----
+
+    mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 -L my_external
+
+You might want to enable additional features using `tune2fs`.
+
+    tune2fs -O +feature /dev/sdb1
+
+**`feature`** may be one of the following:
+
+|feature       | Description                                                                  |
+|:------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+|`large_file`  |If you have files > 2GiB, this flag should be automatically set by the kernel.|
+|`dir_index`   |Uses hashed b-trees to speed up lookups in large directories.                 |
+|`sparse_super`|Limits the number of backup superblocks to save space on large filesystems.   |
+
+There are some more, but these are the most interesting. On external drives you might want to set the reserved space
+for the root-user to 0% instead of the default 5%:
+
+    tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1
+
+You can show all information about the superblock using:
+
+    tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1
+
+
+Renaming
+========
+
+To rename a partition (e.g. an USB drive), there are different tools for different filesystems.
+There's a nice overview at [ubuntu.com](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive).
+
+ext2 / ext3
+-----------
+
+You need the package [e2fsprogs](apt://e2fsprogs).
+
+    sudo e2label /dev/sdb1
+    sudo e2label /dev/sdb1 my_external
+
+
+FAT16 / FAT32
+-------------
+
+You need the package [mtools](apt://mtools).
+
+    sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdb1 -s ::
+    sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdb1 ::my_external
+
+
+JFS
+---
+
+You need the package [jfsutils](apt://jfsutils).
+
+    sudo jfs_tune /dev/sdb1
+    sudo jfs_tune -L my_external /dev/sdb1
+
+
+NTFS
+----
+
+You need the package [ntfsprogs](apt://ntfsprogs).
+
+    sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdb1
+    sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdb1 my_external
+
+
+ReiserFS (v3)
+-------------
+
+You need the package [reiserfsprogs](apt://reiserfsprogs).
+
+    sudo reiserfstune -l my_external /dev/sdb1
+
+
+XFS
+---
+
+You need the package [xfsprogs](apt://xfsprogs).
+
+    xfs_admin -l /dev/sdb1
+    xfs_admin -l my_external /dev/sdb1

+To use UMTS Internet via a bluetooth mobile phone, install the packages [gnome-ppp](apt://gnome-ppp) and [ppp](apt://ppp).
+
+There's a nice manual at [UbuntuUsers](http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Bluetooth/Mobile).
+
+1. use `hcitool scan` to find the MAC of your mobile
+1. use `sdptool search DUN` to find the dial-up networking details of your mobile, note the line `Channel: 7`
+1. edit the file `/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf` and uncomment the section and make the changes according to your details:  
+  
+        rfcomm0 {
+        	# Automatically bind the device at startup
+        	bind yes;
+        
+        	# Bluetooth address of the device
+        	device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
+        
+        	# RFCOMM channel for the connection
+        	channel	7;
+        
+        	# Description of the connection
+        	comment "SonyEricsson P1i";
+        }
+
+1. launch *Gnome-PPP*
+1. click *Setup* and change the settings:
+    * **Modem** Tab
+        * *Device:* /dev/rfcomm0
+        * *Type:* USB-Modem

+I recently switched to using the [zsh](http://zsh.sf.net/) instead of [bash](http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/).
+The reasons were those comfort functions of zsh, such as:
+
+* menu driven completion (you can navigate items using the cursor keys)
+* command correction (typing `mkae` gives a `Did you mean 'make'?`)
+* parameter completion (shows possible parameters for most commands **incl. a short description**)
+* path name guessing (typing `tail /v/l/dmesg` gets corrected into `tail /var/log/dmesg`)
+
+So I installed the packages: [zsh](apt://zsh), [zsh-doc](apt://zsh-doc) and [zsh-lovers](apt://zsh-lovers). When
+starting it for the first time, you'll encounter a configuration tool which asks several questions to make your zsh
+experience a good one.
+
+Bad thing is: This tool can't read the settings you made in a previous session, so be careful running it a second time.
+
+I found an easy way to make the prompt show only 2 parts of the PWD using some zsh-magic: [Prompt with 2 directories]({% post_url 2009-02-20-prompt-with-2-dirs %}).
+
+My full configuration file is here: [.zshrc]({{ site.url }}/assets/zshrc.txt).
+
+
+DEL-key not working
+===================
+
+Using the <kbd>Del</kbd>-key changed the 3 letters after the cursor to upper case and then made further editing of the
+current line impossible. I found a solution to this problem over at [gnegg.ch](http://www.gnegg.ch/2004/10/delete-key-in-zsh/):
+Just add the following bindings to the `.zshrc`:
+
+    bindkey "^[[3~" delete-char
+    bindkey "^[3;5~" delete-char
+
+
+Problems with mc
+================
+
+*zsh* seems to cause problems with the *Midnight Commander*. The *mc* can't detect the PWD using *zsh* as a sub-shell
+and therefore gives several "`Warning: Cannot change directory to …`" although the path **did** change. But this
+message moves the rest of the screen and makes *mc* almost unusable. You can use *mc* without a subshell by starting it
+with `mc -u` or just switch your login-shell back to *bash* (in your `/etc/passwd`) and change the link of your
+preferred console application to e.g. `gnome-terminal -e zsh` - in the latter case, *mc* will use your login-shell
+(*bash*) as a sub-shell and work as expected.

+The setup of [jabberd2](apt://jabberd2) is mostly straight-forward. Just install the package and all needed transports.
+The change the config files in `/etc/jabberd2` to your needs, esp. the name/jid of the admin.
+
+
+pyMSNt
+======
+
+Update
+------
+
+The most recent version is in a *Mercurial* repository at <https://sharesource.org/hg/pymsnt/summary>. There you can
+download the `trunk` revision and replace the files in `/usr/share/pymsnt` with the new ones. You might also need to
+add the new options from the `config-example.xml` to your `/etc/pymsnt.xml`. Afterwards restart the transport and you
+should be set.
+
+Timeout
+-------
+
+The MSN transport [pyMSNt](https://sharesource.org/hg/pymsnt/summary) is a bit picky.
+
+If you get error messages like:
+
+    Failed to connect to MSN servers: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <type 'exceptions.Exception'>: Timeout]
+
+In the config file, if you are behind a NAT router, specify **your internal LAN IP** for `<host>` otherwise, it won't
+work. Always check this setting first before digging for other possible errors.
+
+
+PyYIMt
+======
+
+A Python Yahoo-Transport can be found at the [xmpppy](http://xmpppy.sf.net/). To install it, do the following:
+
+1. create a directory `/opt/pyyimt/src` and put the contents of the `yahoo-transport-0.4.tar.gz` in it. You'll also need
+   the `xmppy-0.5.0rc1.tar.gz` - put it into `/opt/pyyimt/src/xmpp`.
+1. now modify the `config.py` to look at another place for the config file. Change the 4th line like this:  
+  
+        configFiles = ['config.xml', '../pyyimt.conf.xml', '/etc/pyyimt.conf.xml']
+
+1. now copy the `config_example.xml` to `/opt/pyyimt/pyyimt.conf.xml` and modify it according to your needs.
+   Also set the following values:
+    * **spoolFile:** `../yahoouser.dbm`
+    * **pid:** `../pyyimt.pid`
+    * **debugFile:** `../yahooerror.log`
+1. make the whole directory `/opt/pyyimt` and all files and sub-dirs belong to the group *jabber* and writable for
+   that group.
+1. use this init.d-script: [pyyimt.txt]({{ site.url }}/assets/pyyimt.txt)

+I personally like English language operating systems. So I have set my Ubuntu to English language. But I still want
+German curency, decimals and time. With most applications, you can define the formats to use inside the application.
+But I stumbled at *Evolution* which lets you define 12/24-hour setting for the calendar, but doesn't use this setting
+for the mail list display.
+
+So I added the following lines to the file `/etc/environment` below the `LANG="en_US.UTF-8"`:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
+LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
+LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
+LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+So the most formats where as I wanted them - despite the time. Yes, I could set `LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"`, but this not
+only produces German formats but also German names for the months and weekdays. And this is something I didn't want:
+The whole application in English language but the months and weekdays in German, e.g. "Freitag 11:42".
+
+So there are now two possibilities:
+
+1. you compile your own locale definition, or
+1. you take a Hex editor and modify the existing one
+
+I decided to do the second.
+
+In `/usr/lib/locale` are all locale definitions. So I made a backup of the original `LC_TIME` below `en_US.utf8` and
+fired up *ghex2*.
+
+So in principle there are two strings of every format - one in ANSI encoding which is directly readable, and one in
+Unicode where there are 3x `00`-Bytes between the single characters. So in general I just replaced all `%r` (12hrs time)
+by `%R` (24hrs time) and removed the `%p` (AM/PM). I also changed the date format `%m/%d/%Y` to `%Y-%m-%d` to get the
+international format. As mentioned, I had to make these changes 2x times - once for the ANSI strings and once for the
+Unicode ones.
+
+To get the first day of the week correctly (Monday here in Europe), I first had to change the location `0x912` from
+`02` to `01` (which means: The first workday of the week is now *Sunday* (1st day) instead of *Monday* (2nd day)). So to
+finally get the European week, I also had to change location `0x90c` from decimal value `19971130` (a Sunday) to
+`19971201` (a Monday, new value in Hex: `81bc3001`). So now the first day of the week was a Monday (Dec. 1st, 1997) and
+thus the week and work-week were corrected.
+
+The *en_US* locale has the first 7-day-week as the first week of the year. In Europe, the first week with at least
+4 days is counted as the first week of the year (DIN 1355 / ISO 8601). So I changed location `0x910` from `07` to `04`.
+
+Finally, I still had *Evolution* showing AM/PM times. I fixed this by overwriting these strings with Null-Bytes
+(`00`h) - again, two times for each. This made *Evolution* show 24hrs times.
+
+
+Paper Format
+============
+
+The default paper format can be changed as described [here](http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/07/02/change-ubuntus-default-paper-size-from-a4-to-letter/):
+
+    sudo dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1
+
+Or you just change the file `/etc/papersize`.

+---
+per user
+========
+
+The native screen-size detection doesn't work for dual-head installations. To let X11 handle both screens as one large
+display, find the section `Screen` in the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` and add the following lines:
+
+~~~
+SubSection "Display"
+    Virtual 2560 1024
+EndSubSection
+~~~
+
+This is for two 1280x1024 displays side-by-side (1280+1280 = 2560). Now you can use `xrandr` to set displays.
+
+    xrandr -q
+
+Shows all available displays. Usually it will show the devices `VGA-0` and `LVDS`. To change the output of the external
+display to be left of the internal LCD panel, use something like
+
+    xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of LVDS
+
+You might also have to use *System* → *Preferences* → *Screen Resolution* to configure the location of the displays.
+
+
+Fix screen order
+----------------
+
+Under *Intrepid*, it often happens to me that my screenorder is wrong after login. This is shown by a mirrored output on
+the left display, but the system thinks that there's a left workspace. On rare occassions, I even have the wrong order
+(i.e. if I move the mouse to the right on the right workspace, it appears on the left display's workspace.) This is
+quickly fixed by switching the order around:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+#!/bin/sh
+echo Switching position of displays
+xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS
+echo Switching off ext. display
+xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
+echo Switching back to normal
+xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 75 --left-of LVDS
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+After calling the script, my displays are showing the correct workspaces.
+
+
+system-wide
+===========
+
+To configure dual-head system-wide (for Desktop computers), there is a great manual at [UbuntuForums](http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=826717).
+
+1. Use `xrandr -q` to get the output device's names (for me it was `VGA-0` and `DVI-0`)
+1. open the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` in your favorite editor
+1. find the section `Device` and add 2 lines so that it looks like this:  
+  
+        Section "Device"
+            Identifier "Configured Video Device"
+            Option "monitor-VGA-0" "right"
+            Option "monitor-DVI-0" "left"
+        EndSection
+1. The device names have to be prefixed with `monitor-`. The names after that are for you to choose.
+1. find the `Monitor` section and change the identifier to one of the names. (e.g. `right`)
+1. add another `Monitor` section below and change the identifier to the other name. (`left`) Also add the
+   line `Option "LeftOf" "right"` in between.
+1. now the both monitor sections should look like this:  
+  
+        Section "Monitor"
+            Identifier "right"
+        EndSection
+        
+        Section "Monitor"
+            Identifier "left"
+            Option     "LeftOf" "right"
+        EndSection
+1. find the `Screen` section and add the following line to define the default display.  
+  
+        Monitor "right"
+1. add a `SubSection "Display"` and the `Virtual` line as with the per-user configuration
+1. save the file and restart X

+To use features like *circular scrolling*[^1] of a Synaptics touchpad, you need to add the following lines to
+your `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`:
+
+~~~
+Section "InputDevice"
+    Identifier   "Synaptics Touchpad"
+    Driver       "synaptics"

+    Option       "Protocol" "auto-dev"
+    Option       "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
+EndSection
+~~~
+
+You also need to add the following line into your `ServerLayout` section in that file:
+
+        InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
+
+<p><div class="noteclassic">
+After an upgrade to Jaunty, these lines are commented out by the update-manager. Just uncomment them and everything
+should work again.
+</div></p>
+
+Afterwards you can install the [gsynaptics](apt://gsynaptics) package to manage the settings for your touchpad - incl.
+enabling the circular scrolling.
+
+
+[^1]: It's like a jogdial: just draw a circle with your finger starting from top-center. Clockwise will scroll down, counter-clockwise will scroll up.

+---
+Instead of playing music through usual audio players, there is the possibility of using the *mpd* - a daemon which
+runs in the background and plays music.
+
+The great advantage is: You can choose between various interfaces and always control the same player with the same
+playlist(s) - even via TCP/IP from another PC or even a portable device.
+
+
+Installing the server
+=====================
+
+Install the package [mpd](apt://mpd). After that, edit the file `/etc/mpd.conf` and add the following lines, so that it
+uses the PulseAudio daemon instead of ALSA:
+
+~~~
+audio_output {
+    type "pulse"
+    name "My PulseAudio Device"
+}
+~~~
+
+This allows other sounds (e.g. from Gnome) to be played simultaneously.
+
+You can then symlink your personal music folder to `/var/lib/mpd/music` or - if you are the only user - replace that
+directory by the symlink directly.
+
+
+PulseAudio rights
+-----------------

+You might encounter the problem that MPD seems playing a song but you don't hear anything at all. This might be a
+problem with PulseAudio rights. Install the package [paprefs](apt://paprefs) and enable the *Enable Network Access*
+and *Don't require authentication*. If these options are grayed out, do this:
+
+* edit the file `/etc/pulse/default.pa`
+* find the line  
+  
+        #load-module module-native-protocol-tcp
+
+  and replace it by  
+  
+        load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1
+* do a `killall pulseaudio`
+* restart `mpd`

+
+I found [pympd](http://pympd.sf.net/), [Ario](http://ario-player.sf.net/) and [Sonata](http://sonata.berlios.de/) really
+usable (pympd looks a bit like *Rhythmbox*) and for the console: [ncmpc](http://hem.bredband.net/kaw/ncmpc/). For the
+latter, you could add an alias: `ncmpc=ncmpc -c -m` to always start it in color-mode and with mouse support.

+sudo
+====
+
+Using `sudo umount` you can unmount ANYTHING but need `sudo` access.
+
+
+fusermount
+==========
+
+Using `fusermount -u` you can unmount all FUSE mounts.
+
+
+pumount
+=======
+
+Using `pumount` you can unmount all mounts below `/media` which don't appear in `/etc/fstab`.
+
+
+Shutdown/Reboot hangs
+=====================
+
+If there are mounted *cifs* shares, you might encounter a *"CIFS VFS: no response for cmd 50…"* on shutdown or reboot
+which may take about half a minute before the machine actually shuts down (or reboots). This is caused by the network
+being shut down before the shares were umounted.
+
+The thing is, in Jaunty there already is a script to umount network shares before the network is shut down, but it has
+the wrong start-type of `S` = start. If you look at the script itself, you'll find this:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+case "$1" in
+  start)
+	# No-op
+	;;
+  restart|reload|force-reload)
+	echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2
+	exit 3
+	;;
+  stop|"")
+	do_stop
+	;;
+  *)
+	echo "Usage: umountnfs.sh [start|stop]" >&2
+	exit 3
+	;;
+esac
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+So if called with the argument `start`, it will do nothing. It has to be called with `stop`.
+
+To fix this (in Jaunty):
+
+* go to `/etc/rc0.d/`
+* find the link `S31umountnfs.sh` (type: S = start)
+* do a `sudo mv S31umountnfs.sh K31umountnfs.sh` (type: K = kill/stop)
+* now go to `/etc/rc6.d/` and do the same to the link there
+
+You may find some more info on [this blog](http://whereofwecannotspeak.wordpress.com/2007/12/25/unmount-samba-filesystems-before-shutdown-or-reboot/).

+If you don't want to create a designated swap partition (e.g. if you plan to downsize it later) and don't want to play
+around with *GPartEd*, you can create a swap**file** instead.
+
+To create a 512 MiB swapfile, do the following:
+
+    dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024K count=512
+    mkswap /swapfile
+    swapon /swapfile
+
+To automatically add the swapfile upon boot, add this line to the `/etc/fstab`:
+
+    /swapfile     swap     swap     defaults     0    0
+
+
+You can later easily change the size of the swapfile by re-creating a smaller or larger one.
+
+You only have to make sure the file is contiguous or `swapon` might give an error.

+The default tool for CD ripping under Gnome is *Sound Juicer*, found under *Applications* → *Sound & Video* →
+*Audio CD Extractor*. But this tool had severe problems recognizing my custom configuration for LAME encoding (I
+changed `vbr-quality` from `6` to `2` but the tool ignored it) also you had to restart it for every configuration
+change which means you have to re-enter all CD information.
+
+So I tried [abcde](http://code.google.com/p/abcde/).
+
+After installing the package [abcde](apt://abcde) and some other utilities (`id3`, `id3v2`, `flac`, `oggconvert`,
+etc.), I copied the file `/etc/abcde.conf` to `~/.abcde.conf` and modified it according to [Andrew Strong's examples](http://www.andrews-corner.org/abcde.html)
+and my own preference.
+
+Now ripping a CD is as simple as typing `abcde` at the prompt.

+================
+
+If you want some scripts to emit beeps, e.g. because you don't always have your headphones on, you first have to enable
+the `pcspkr` module. This is per default disabled in Ubuntu. To enable it again, do the following:
+
+1. open `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf` in your favorite editor (using `sudo`)
+1. find these lines:  
+  
+        # ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
+        # nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
+        blacklist pcspkr
+1. comment out the last line
+1. finally, do a `sudo modprobe pcspkr`
+
+After that, you can play around with the [beep](apt://beep) program.

+---
+To burn/print lightscribe media under Linux, you need two things:
+
+* the [LightScribe System Software](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx)
+* a labelling program, such as [LightScribe Simple Labeler](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx?id=815)
+  or [4L LaCie LightScribe Labeler](http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10803)
+
+
+Installing 4L
+=============
+
+1. install the lightscribe library: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribe-1.14.32.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
+1. convert the RPM to DEB (you need the packages *fakeroot* and *alien* to be installed!):
+   `fakeroot alien --fixperms -c -k 4L-1.0-r6.i586.rpm`
+1. **on 64-bit systesm** the previous step will abort with an error, if this is the case:
+    * enter the `4L-1.0` directory
+    * rename `debian` to `DEBIAN`
+    * enter the `DEBIAN` directory
+    * delete the directory `4L`
+    * edit the file `control`
+        * remove the blank line between the `Maintainer:` and `Package:` lines
+        * change the `Depends:` into `Depends: lightscribe`
+        * add a line `Version: 1.0-r6`
+    * now go back to the directory containing the `4L-1.0` directory
+    * run `dpkg --build --force-architecture 4L-1.0`
+1. install the newly generated DEB file: `gksu gdebi-gtk 4l_1.0-r6_i386.deb` (on 64-bit systems use
+   `dpkg -i --force-architecture 4L-1.0.deb`)
+1. create a menu shortcut to `/usr/bin/4L-gui` using the *System* → *Preferences* → *Main Menu* tool (as an icon I used
+   the LightScribe-logo from [WikiPedia](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:LightScribe-Logo.svg))
+
+
+No drive detected
+-----------------
+
+If *4L-gui* doesn't detect any drive, try running it from a console window. If you see the following error message:
+
+    user@host:/usr/lib% 4L-gui
+    4L-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+
+The described library is missing (as with *Karmic Koala*). Either try finding it in `aptitude` or do the following:
+
+1. create a file `/etc/ld.so.conf/lightscribeApplications.conf` with the following contents:
+   `/opt/lightscribeApplications/common/Qt`
+1. run `sudo ldconfig`
+
+This will index the libraries in the given folder - where there is the `libstdc++.so.5` found. If this breaks other
+programs for you, use this command:
+
+    sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lightscribeApplications/common/Qt /usr/bin/4L-gui
+
+
+root privileges required
+------------------------
+
+If you get the error ***Printing requires root privileges*** first check whether you called it with `gksu` or `sudo`
+and if yes, check, whether the files `/usr/4L/4L-gui` and `/usr/4L/4L-cli` have any *setuid*-bits set. If so, remove
+them.
+
+Or do it the other way around and make sure, the *setuid* mode is set and make `root` the owner.
+
+
+Installing Simple Labeler
+=========================
+
+1. install the lightscribe library: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribe-1.14.32.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
+1. install the simple labeler: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribeApplications-1.10.19.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
+1. **on 64-bit systems** you have to link the `liblightscribe.so` and `liblightscribe.so.1` into the `/usr/lib32`
+   directory (moving might also work):  
+  
+        ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so /usr/lib32/liblightscribe.so
+        ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so.1 /usr/lib32/liblightscribe.so.1
+1. create a menu shortcut to `/opt/lightscribeApplication/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler` using the *System* →
+   *Preferences* → *Main Menu* tool (as an icon I used the LightScribe-logo from [WikiPedia](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:LightScribe-Logo.svg))
+
+
+Enabling enhanced Contrast
+==========================
+
+To make burned labels appear darker, you can activate the *enhanced contrast* feature which is present in the library
+since version 1.8.15.1. The procedure is described at the [PSE site](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/pse/).
+
+Darker contrast needs more time to burn!
+
+To enable this feature, run the following command from a command-line:
+
+    sudo /usr/lib/lightscribe/elcu.sh
+
+You will see something like this:
+
+~~~
+Current contrast setting: Default
+
+MODIFY CONTRAST SETTINGS:
+1 This will make your labels darker, but you will experience a longer label time
+2 This will reset your LightScribe contrast to default factory settings
+Select new setting: _
+~~~
+
+Type <kbd>1</kbd> and confirm with <kbd>ENTER</kbd>.

+Java crashes with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc00000005)
+==========================================================
+
+The [AirVideo](http://www.inmethod.com/) Server for iPhone runs only under Mac and Windows and needs [Bonjour](http://support.apple.com/downloads/Bonjour_for_Windows)
+and [JRE](http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp). Java always crashed with
+
+    EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x7d826f48, pid=8, tid=12
+
+After some poking around, I found a thread at [nabble.com](http://old.nabble.com/Wine%2BJava%2BNvidia-crashes-td22505117.html).
+Disabling the `d3d9.dll` was the solution:
+
+1. Run `winecfg`
+1. Go to the *Libraries* tab
+1. Select `d3d9` from the drop-down box, click *Add*
+1. Select the new entry `d3d9` and click *Edit…*
+1. Select *(X) disabled*, click *OK*
+
+That was it. Now, Java should run smoothly.

+If you have no sound in Flash videos but in all other programs, there are two possibilities:
+
+1. the PCM output is set to silence
+    * check volume setting with `alsamixer`
+1. you might have a second audio device (e.g. a Webcam with a microphone) which gets preferred by ALSA
+    * fix it by unplugging it, or
+    * force ALSA to use another device, see [ALSA FAQ#26](http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026)
+    * set *Skype* → *Options* → *Sound Devices* to *[  ] Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels*
+1. some sound via PulseAudio is currently playing (see [ALSA → PulseAudio for Flash and others]({% post_url 2010-02-12-alsa-to-pulseaudio-for-flash %}))
+
+Bug report is [#396558](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/396558).

+If you are on a 64bit system, you might sometimes stumple upon 32bit programs which need several libraries of which are
+no lib32-packages. A good example is the [Amazon MP3 Downloader](http://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200317330).
+
+You can now either search the missing libraries at [packages.ubuntu.com](http://packages.ubuntu.com/) or use a tool
+which does this for you: [getlibs](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790). You run it with the desired 32bit
+program as a parameter and it will locate, download and install all missing libraries the program needs to run.
+
+Download it at [frozenfox.freehostia.com](http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/).

+To merge multiple (similar) video files into one big file, there are different ways.
+
+
+avimerge
+========
+
+This only works with `avi` files. *avimerge* is part of the [transcode-utils](apt://transcode-utils) package.
+
+    avimerge -o output.avi -i file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi fileN.avi
+
+If the sound doesn't match from the second file on, use the `-c` switch.
+
+<p><div class="noteimportant" markdown="1">
+Check your files after merging! If you have no audio near the end of the final video file, use *mencoder* below.
+</div></p>
+
+
+mencoder
+========
+
+This should also work with `mpg` videos. Install the [mencoder](apt://mencoder) package.
+
+    mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi fileN.avi -o output.avi

+To export a list of all installed packages, you can use the following command:
+
+    sudo dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt
+
+But this will loose any `{A}` markers for automatically installed packages and therefore produce a lot of garbage when
+dependencies change.
+
+To export only manually installed packages, use `aptitude` like this:
+
+    sudo aptitude search '~i!~M' -F '%p install' > selections.txt
+
+(More `aptitude` filterstrings can be found on [their project page](http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html).)
+
+On the other machine, use the following command to set the new markers:
+
+    sudo dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
+
+Now run `aptitude` and resolve the dependencies.

+If your flashplugin only recognizes the very first mouse click and then seems to ignore the mouse completely, just
+click somewhere outside the area where the flash script is (e.g. on the webpage background) and then flash will
+recognize the next click.
+
+Some more promising solutions are these:
+
+* [ubuntugeek.com](http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-flash-is-not-recognizing-mouse-clicks.html): edit the file
+  `/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer` and add the following line just before the last one:  
+  
+        export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
+
+  The complete file should now look somewhat like this:  
+  
+        #!/bin/sh
+        TARGET_OS=linux
+        TARGET_ARCH=i386
+        export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
+        . /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer
+
+* if you are on a 64bit machine, install the 64bit flashplugin from [this PPA](https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash)
+
+
+Flash Preferences unusable
+==========================
+
+If your clicks onto the Flash preferences are not recognized, close [gnome-do](apt://gnome-do) and/or [docky](apt://docky).
+After that, the preferences should be clickable again. (found [here](http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8484828&postcount=19))

+After an upgrade to *Ubuntu Lucid Lynx*, all Samba shares were missing symlinks, esp. symlinks to directories outside
+the share.
+
+To enable these again, add the following lines into the `[global]` section of your `/etc/samba/smb.conf`:
+
+{% highlight ini %}
+follow symlinks = yes
+wide links = yes
+unix extensions = no
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Then restart `smbd` and you should see the symlinks again.

+

+The tools you need are described on [blog.joff3.com](http://blog.joff3.com/2008/02/downloading-and-ripping-music-from.html).
+There's also the nice [youtube-dl](apt://youtube-dl) package. One thing I noticed: the `ffmpeg` command there re-encodes
+the audio which might loose some quality. To just dump the audio off the Flash video, use:
+
+    ffmpeg -i somevideo.flv -acodec copy output.mp3
+
+This is for 240px videos. All larger ones use AAC format. Use this:
+
+    ffmpeg -i somevideo.flv -acodec copy output.aac
+    ffmpeg -i somevideo.mp4 -acodec copy output.aac
+
+If you happen to have the latest webm format, use this:
+
+    ffmpeg -i somevideo.webm -vn -acodec copy output.ogg
+
+
+This will just extract the audio track without doing anything to it.
+

+XPlanet renders an Earth globe including actual clouds and satellites' positions. It also has data to render the moon,

+of a boring wallpaper.
+
+To make things a bit easier, there's [this Python script](http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=dba5c223bddb4c7d1e119ad00225548d&p=258035&postcount=6)

+To enable most `.plgx`-Plugins, you need to install the [mono-gmcs](apt://mono-gmcs)-Package. For newer versions of
+KeePass, use [mono-dmcs](apt://mono-dmcs).
+
+For a list of all needed packages, look at [leo.gaggl.com](http://leo.gaggl.com/2011/04/keepass-version-2-on-ubuntu/).

+Detect new disk size
+====================
+
+With virtual machines (VMware at least), you can resize the disk drives without restarting the VM itself. After doing
+that, you have to get Linux to recognize the new disk drive size. Use one of these (found [here](http://oldblog.renanmarks.net/en/blog/reload-partition-table-without-rebooting-linux-system)
+and [here](http://jason-antonacci.blogspot.de/2012/08/recognizing-linux-block-device.html)) - assuming the modified
+drive is `/dev/sdc`:
+
+* `hdparm -z /dev/sdc`
+* `echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/rescan`
+* `partprobe /dev/sdc`
+
+<p><div class="notewarning">
+Make sure to umount all mounts from this drive before rescanning it. Otherwise, it won't work.
+</div></p>
+
+Check the success with `fdisk -l`.
+
+
+Resize partition
+================
+
+Using `parted`, there's the `resize` command. But this is not as robust, es using `resize2fs` from the [e2fsprogs](apt://e2fsprogs)
+package. So the recommended way is to manually resize the partition using `parted` and then run `resize2fs` to do the
+actual resize operation.
+
+Make sure to switch to `unit s` (sectors) in `parted` and `print` the partition table before doing anything to it so
+that you can refer to it later.
+
+
+Fill Empty Space
+================
+
+To fill empty space with zeroes (to e.g. reduce the partition size using `vmkfstools`), use this command (found [here](http://www.zedt.eu/tech/linux/zero-out-free-disk-space/)):
+
+    nice cat /dev/zero > zero.fill; sync; sleep 1; sync; rm -f zero.fill

+---
+To rip a DVD track to a file, you need the [transcode](apt://transcode) package and the encoders you're going to use.
+
+To rip a single track as ogg, use the command
+
+    transcode -i /dev/scd0 -x dvd -T 5,15 -a 0 -y null,ogg -o ~/Nasty.ogg
+
+This would rip audio only (video goes to *null*) chapter 5, track 15 to the file `Nasty.ogg`.
+
+    transcode -i /dev/scd0 -x dvd -T 5,15 -a 0 -y null,raw -b 192 -o ~/Nasty.mp3
+
+This one rips to a `mp3` file. The codec is `raw` because *transcode* internally works with mp3.
+
+
+**UPDATE:** The `raw` audio encoder is deprecated and `tcaud` should be used instead. Use this:
+
+    transcode -i /dev/scd0 -x null,dvd -y null,tcaud -T 1,8 -a 0 --lame_preset extreme -m outputfile.mp3
+
+More information about how to use `transcode` is explained here: [ubuntuforums.org](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1357157).
+
+
+mplayer
+=======
+
+Find out the longest DVD track using [lsdvd](apt://lsdvd):
+
+    lsdvd | grep Longest
+
+
+Then dump that track with [mplayer](apt://mplayer):
+
+    mplayer dvd://02 -v -dumpstream -dumpfile output.vob
+
+Convert with [avidemux](apt://avidemux), [avconv](apt://avconv) or similar, e.g.:
+
+    avconv -i output.vob -qscale:0 8 -qscale:2 2 -filter:v yadif output.mp4
+
+    avconv -i output.vob -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -f avi -c:v mpeg4 -b:v 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -async 30 output-en.avi
