WinWrangler + gtkhotkey for Arch

November 1st, 2008

Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen just released updated versions of WinWrangler and gtkhotkey. I made PKGBUILDS for both, the icon for WinWrangler didn’t work so I hardcoded it.

He created this video of it in progress.

I use Super+1 for expand and Super+2 for tile, to do this in Openbox add this to your rc.xml in the <keyboard> section.

<keybind key=”W-1″>
<action name=”Execute”>
<command>winwrangler -l expand</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-2″>
<action name=”Execute”>
<command>winwrangler -l tile</command>
</action>
</keybind>

xkcd desktop display!

October 27th, 2008

To be able to save one click.. or not to use the mouse, I have created a program that upon the pressing of the key ‘r’ will download and display a random comic from xkcd.com and display it on my screen. Every now and then it runs out of memory, but that has proved the only way to stop - so i’ll leave it. It should work on all platforms with cairo, curl and gtk.

The easiest is to use scons to build it.

Duplicity on Multiple Folders

October 17th, 2008

To run duplicity on several folders using the ssh backend I created this bash script:

#! /bin/bash
$USER=”user”
$HOST=”host”
$KEY=”.ssh/key_to_server”
cd ~
ssh-add $KEY
read -s -p “GnuPG password:” PASSPHRASE

echo -e “\n####DEV####”
PASSPHRASE=$PASSPHRASE duplicity -v6 dev/ scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dev
duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 3 scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dev
echo "########DOCUMENTS#######"
PASSPHRASE=$PASSPHRASE duplicity -v6 /media/Hoppla/Users/Gaute/Documents/ scp://
${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dokument
duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 3 scp://
${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dokument

Just repeat the last three lines for each dir you want to backup. For some reason duplicity doesn’t follow symlinks so you have to add those manually.

Updated PKGBUILD for Archlinux for newest version:

# $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.12 2008/08/02 20:27:55 Snowman Exp $
# Maintainer: Aaron Schaefer
pkgname=duplicity
pkgver=0.5.02
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=’A utility for encrypted, bandwidth-efficient backups using the rsync algorithm’
arch=(’i686′ ‘x86_64′)

md5sums=(’475e09b3eae5d9875e4177d487dc8986′)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
python setup.py install –root=$startdir/pkg || return 1
}

Put the PKGBUILD in a folder and do:

$ sudo pacman -R duplicity
$ makepkg -c
$ sudo pacman -U duplicity-0.5.02-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Eduroam i Linux

September 19th, 2008

For å koble manuelt til Eduroam som blir brukt på HiB og UiB kan du bruke dette oppsettet, hugs å oppdatere eduroam.conf fila til å di epost-adresse på skulen og passordet ditt. I fila eduroam_start må du endre variabelen iface til nettverkskortet ditt. Det er mogleg det funker som det er, om ikkje kan du teste ut å bytte ut ‘ath0′ med ‘wlan0′.
