Debian : OpenOffice.org 3 installation

Successfully installed oo.org by apt pinning. Include experimental repository in /etc/apt/sources as:

#Experimental
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib

Do an aptitude update and then:

aptitude install openoffice.org/experimental This worked like a charm.

Debian : Play WMA (win32codecs)

To play Windows Media Audio just :

sudo apt-get install w32codecs

after adding this in your sources.list :

Debian : How to build local APT repositories

1) Create folders for the package files you plan to keep in your repository. Here is an example: in your home folder, create a new folder called repository in which you will keep all your downloaded packages. If you plan to burn the package files onto a CD, I suggest you create separate folders for each disk. The naming is up to you – disk_1, disk_2, etc (I’ll assume this naming convention throughout the rest of the tutorial). This is just to ensure that you use the next folder once your cache reaches the size of a CD (usually 700MB). If you are using a local hard drive or a DVD, you obviously have higher limits to keep in mind. If you do not plan to create a CD/DVD, you may simply dump all the files in the repository folder.

2) The next step is to copy all your deb files (those files that end with .deb) to the repository folder(s). Open Nautilus, navigate to /var/cache/apt/archives and copy all the deb files to the appropriate folder(s). For instance, /home//repository/disk_1 - keep an eye on the size of the folders. To do it in the terminal:

cp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb ~/repository/disk_1

If you have many files, it may take quite a while so be patient.

3) Change into your repository folder:

cd ~/repository/disk_1

4) Now do the following command to create the Packages.gz file that is needed to for Synaptic to “see” your repository:

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

I suggest you copy and paste this to avoid any typos.

• Please note that every time you add any more .deb files to this folder, you have to create a new Packages.gz file using the above command before the new file(s) will show up in Synaptic (or Aptitude).
• Be sure to install the build-essential package (sudo aptitude install build-essential) before running the above command.

There are several ways of using your newly created repository.

I) Keeping the files on a local hard disk…

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file like so:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And insert this on a new line (preferably the first):

deb file:/home/username/repository/disk_1/ /

Remember to replace username with your real username.

Reload your package index like this:

sudo aptitude update

II) Using a CD/DVD as a repository:

a) Burn the repository folder onto a CD/DVD

b) With the disc loaded in your drive, fire up Synaptic and click through the menus like this:

Edit –> Add CD Rom.

c) You will be asked to type in a description for the disc; type in anything, for instance: Offline Repository Disk 1.

d) Click Ok.

Summary
Go to /var/cache/apt/archives and copy your debian packages to a folder of your choice, for example, /home//repository/

• Change into the repository directory

cd /home/username/repository

• And generate a Packages.gz file like this:

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

Make sure build-essential is installed (sudo aptitude install build-essential) before you run the above command.

• Add the following line to your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list)

deb file:/home/username/repository/ /

Remember to replace username with your real username

• Reload your package index like this:

sudo apt-get update

That’s it… sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I found the following tips for using Synaptic very useful:

• You might want to check out the online sources.list generator. It will let you select various repositories for your sources.list. Once you get the output, simply replace the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file with it.

• Now have a loom at the Synaptic settings (Settings –> Repositories –> Settings).

• I suggest you decide if you always want to get the highest/latest version or if you want to stick to the feisty version.

• Also, ensure that you have checked the option that allows downloaded packages to be kept in the cache, otherwise you will just have to download them again if you accidentally do an apt-get autoclean or something similar. Have fun.

What is Linux ?

Linux is an operating system for your computer, in a similar way that Microsoft Windows and Apple's OSX are operating systems for your computer. Linux is very different however (and we believe, better!).

Linux was started in 1992 by then university student Linus Torvalds, who released his software for free, including all of the source code. Because Linus made his source code freely available, thousands of developers around the world have downloaded it, made changes and sent improvements back to him!

Because of this global collaboration effort, Linux is stable, extremely flexible and well supported. It is the fastest growing operating system in the world and it is freely available for you to install onto your computer! Sound great? It is!

Linux comes with thousands of free applications, which are maintained by thousands of volunteers around the world. These projects also release their source code, which means they too are 'open source'.

"But how can they do all this for free?" I hear you ask. The Linux and open source communities do all this for free because they love the software, not because they try to make money from it. They are doing it for prestige, honour and because they believe in open source ideals.

It is important to note that due to the nature of open source software (the ability to customise it however you like) there are many different version of Linux. This is great because you can find a version that suits you best! These different versions of Linux are called 'distributions'. This is because the creators of the various versions take Linux and make their own changes to it, add their own packages and then distribute it for free. It might sound complicated, but it's not. So don't worry, we'll help you get started on the right track!

We invite you to look further into Linux and welcome you to 'make the move' into an amazing new world.

Please read on, or skip through to the 'Get started!' section if you're ready to jump right in!

MS Windows XP - change boot picture

This is cool! Mark Russinovich just "discoverd" a new boot.ini switch for winXP and 2003.

/BOOTLOGO
Use this switch to have Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 display an installable splash screen instead of the standard splash screen. First, create a 16-color (any 16 colors) 640x480 bitmap and save it in the Windows directory with the name Boot.bmp. Then add "/bootlogo /noguiboot" to the boot.ini selection.

JDataStore 7 - developer license

you will have to extract the jdatastore.license file out of the
original jdsserver.jar and add it to your /lib folder.

Borland JBuilder 2005 on Java 5 - guide

There are several steps to make JB2005 run on JRE1.5rc, instead of using its default JRE1.4.

Firstly, modify JBUILDER\bin\jdk.config, as the following:
#--------------------------------------------
#javahome ../jdk1.4/
javahome C:/jdk1.5.0/

#addpath ../jdk1.4/lib/tools.jar
addpath C:/jdk1.5.0/lib/tools.jar
addpath apache.jar

vmparam -Dswing.aatext=true
#--------------------------------------------
Notice we have another apache.jar. This is because in JRE1.5 Sun has changed package org.apache.* to com.sun.org.apache.*.internal, which makes JB cannot find the appropriate package, and throw exceptions, which will stop JB's starting-up. Sun's solution is recoding the source, which ofcoz not works in our circumstance. So i extract J2RE1.4.2's rt.jar (in JRE1.4.2/lib), pull out org/apache/, and compress it to be apache.jar. Then i put it into JBUILDER/bin.
Now its time to launch JB on JRE1.5rc! Enjoy!

Another thing: due to the changes made in LandF part in Swing of JRE1.5rc, JB cannot use Windows LF. Instead, i use Borland LF. It's also nice enough for me! Hope somebody could fix this. Also i want to use JRE1.5's default LF in JB, because it is very convenient to view, at least much better than the 1.4's default Metal LF!
