Unpack the Zip archive to a directory, for example, C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK. Other possible choices for GTK+ installatioon folder could be:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.16.4
  
• C:\Program Files\GTK\2.16.4
  
• C:\Users\Public\GTK\2.16.4
  
• C:\Windows\GTK\2.16.4
  
• C:\Windows\System
  
• C:\Windows\System\GTK\2.16.4
  
• C:\Windows\System32
  
• C:\Windows\System32\GTK\2.16.4

Then, add the GTK+ directory to %PATH%, as shown below.

Adding GTK bin to %PATH%

This section assumes that you're using Windows Vista. Open the Start menu, right-click on Computer and choose Properties.

Click on Advanced system settings on the left side of the window.

At the System Properties dialog, click on Environment Variables at the bottom. At the Environment Variables dialog, click on New. Create a new user variable, PATH as C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\bin;%PATH%:

You can also define a variable LANG to localize your GTK applications, for example, fr_FR.UTF-8 for French.

Customizing GTK with .gtkrc-2.0

The default GTK look may not be appealing. To customize GTK look, we use GTK themes. When we compile GTK for Windows, we get two GTK theme engines, libpixmap.dll and libwimp.dll. We are going to use the Wimp theme engine, which best matches Windows look. Create a file .../etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc for systemwide customizaiton with the following contents. Alternatively, create a file .gtkrc-2.0 in your personal folder, for example, C:\Users\Joe\.gtkrc-2.0 .

gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"

style "user-font"
{
        font_name="Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

This assumes that you have the file libwimp.dll and also a theme directory at .../share/themes/MS-Windows . You can also specify other fonts, such as Serif 10 or Arial Bold Italic 10. Start a GTK application like Pidgin, GIMP or X-Chat and check if it looks good.

Compatibility with Pidgin

If you have compiled GTK on your own following my tutorial but Pidgin installer without GTK+ won't install because it can't find your GTK+, you can use PeaZip to manually extract files from the installer. Remember to move subfolders in $_OUTDIR to the Pidgin top folder. Then, create a shortcut on your Desktop pointing to C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pidgin.exe.

My GTK compilation will work with Pidgin if the following files are copied into the Pidgin directory:

iconv.dll

intl.dll

zlib1.dll

These files are easily found on the Internet (1).

Personalize Fontconfig and Pango

Now that GTK+ is working, you can further personalize it by tweaking Fontconfig and Pango. To fine-tune fontconfig, edit fonts.conf. To tweak Pango, create a file .pango.aliases in your personal folder and edit it.

Compiling Mencoder for Windows

Mencoder is a command-line tool for creating multimedia files. It allows you to convert video from one format to another. When used together with OGMRip, mencoder helps you to rip DVD into a video file that's convenient to watch on computers. Note that the instruction herein explains how to compile Mencoder for the Windows platform, not Linux.

MinGW must be installed first (Look here for how). Once you have MinGW, launch MSYS (rxvt) from the Start menu and type the following commands.

1. PNG and JPEG

   
   

   PNG depends on zlib compression library. Download the zlib source from zlib.net and compile as follows:
   

   tar xzvf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
   cd zlib-1.2.3
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw
   make
   make install

   
   

   Now get the PNG library here and compile it as follows:
   

   tar xzvf libpng-1.2.34.tar.gz
   cd libpng-1.2.34/
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared
   make
   make install

   
   

   Download the source for JPEG library, compile and install JPEG as follows:
   

   tar xzvf jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz
   cd jpeg-7
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw
   make
   make install

   
   
   

2. libdca Library

   
   

   Download the libdca source from videolan.org and compile it like this:

   
   

   tar xjvf libdca-0.0.5.tar.bz2
   cd libdca-0.0.5
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw
   make
   make install

   
   
   

3. OGG, Vorbis and Theora

   
   

   The source for these libraries can be obtained from xiph.org. Compile them like this:
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared
   make
   make install

   
   
   

4. Libcdio Library

   
   

   Download the libcdio source from here. Compile and install libcdio as follows:
   

   tar xzvf libcdio-0.81.tar.gz
   cd libcdio-0.81
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared
   make
   make install

   
   
   

5. Live555 library

   
   

   The Live555 library is used to decode streaming media. Get the live555 source from here and compile it as follows:
   

   cd /mingw/lib
   tar xzvf live.2009.07.28.tar.gz
   cd live
   ./genMakefiles mingw
   make

   
   
   

6. LAME

   
   

   LAME is an MP3 encoder. This library allows Mencoder to encode DVD sound into MP3 audio. Download LAME from lame.sf.net and compile it as follows.

   
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-expopt=full
   
   make
   
   make install

   
   
   

7. TwoLame

   
   

   TwoLAME is an MP2 audio encoder. Get the source from twolame.org and compile it:
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw CPPFLAGS='-DLIBTWOLAME_STATIC'
   make
   make install

   
   
   

8. XviD

   
   

   In case you didn't know, XviD is the most popular video encoder used in creating movie files found on the P2P networks. With this library, mencoder can rip a DVD into XviD video. Get the XviD source from xvid.org and compile as follows:

   
   

   tar xzvf xvidcore-1.2.2.tar.gz
   
   cd xvidcore/build/generic
   
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw
   
   make
   
   make install

   
   

   In addition, change to the /mingw/bin directory and copy xvidcore.a to libxvidcore.a.

   
   

   cd /mingw/lib
   
   cp xvidcore.a libxvidcore.a

   
   
   

9. FAAC

   
   

   FAAC is an MPEG-4 AAC audio encoder. Get the source (faac-1.28.tar.gz) and unpack the package. Then, edit Makefile.am:
   

   SUBDIRS = include libfaac

   
   

   Also, edit the line beginning with AC_OUTPUT in the file configure.in:
   

   AC_OUTPUT(libfaac/Makefile include/Makefile Makefile)

   
   

   Then, compile FAAC like this
   

   sh bootstrap
   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-static --disable-shared
   make
   make install

   
   
   

10. x264

    
    

    x264 is yet another good video encoder. x264 requires YASM to build an optimized executable. So get yasm and save it as /mingw/bin/yasm.exe. Then, compile x264 like this:

    
    

    sh configure --prefix=/mingw --extra-cflags="-DX264_VERSION=20090608"
    
    make
    
    make install

    
    
    

11. Compiling Mencoder

    
    

    Now you're ready to compile mencoder. Download the MPlayer source snapshot from mplayerhq.hu and unpack it. Then, type the following commands into the MSYS window to produce the executable mencoder.exe.

    
    

    CPPFLAGS='-DHAVE_INT32_T -DLIBTWOLAME_STATIC'./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-static --enable-theora --yasm=/mingw/bin/yasm
    
    make mencoder
    
    strip *.exe
    
    mv -iv mencoder.exe /c/Windows

    
    

    This produces a static executable mencoder.exe and copies it into the C:\WINDOWS folder.

    
    

If you'd like to try my mencoder build, download it from here. Its filename is MPlayer-svn-r30521-snapshot-3.4.5.zip.

To Convert a FAT16 partition to FAT32 in Windows 98/ME

To convert a FAT16 partition to FAT32 in Windows 98/ME, you need to reboot with the emergency book floppy created by Windows. To create a boot floppy:

1. Open the Start menu, open the Settings submenu and click the Control Panel.
   
2. Click Add/Remove Programs.
   
3. Select the Boot Disk tab in the pop-up window, and choose Create.
   
4. Insert a blank floppy into your floppy drive and let Windows do the job.
   
5. Then reboot your PC.
   

Once you're in DOS, change to C:\Windows\Command. Run CVT.EXE which will convert your FAT16 drive to FAT32.

Building gtk-gnutella for Windows

I built gtk-gnutella for the Windows platform using MinGW. gtk-gnutella is an application that allows you to share files in the gnutella P2P network. Here I show how I built GTK-gnutella step-by-step:

1. Install MinGW

   
   

   First of all, I installed MinGW. GCC 4.4 and higher versions are recommended.

   
   
   

2. Compile Pthread and Regex (Optional)

   
   

   Build pthread and regex as shown in the following posts.

   
   
   
   
   • MinGW: Posix Threads for Win32
   
   
   • MinGW: Porting GNU Regex to Windows
   
   
   
   
   

3. Build GTK+ Library

   
   

   Follow the instruction in the following post to compile the whole GTK+ library.

   
   
   • Compiling GTK+ for Windows with MinGW (for Windows XP and up)
   
   
   

4. Build GnuTLS (Optional)

   
   

   I think GnuTLS is optional but it provides secure communication between gnutella clients. I chose to build GTK-gnutella with gnuTLS features. So I compiled GnuTLS as shown in this post.

   
   
   

5. Unpack the Source

   
   

   Then, I downloaded the gtk-gnutella source and unpacked it in my HOME directory.

   
   

   cd $HOME
   
   tar xjvf gtk-gnutella-0.96.6.tar.bz2
   
   cd gtk-gnutella-0.96.6

   
   
   

6. Run the Configure script

   
   

   Then, I ran ./Configure. For convenience, I am providing here my config.sh file generated by the Configure script. You can copy this file to your source tree before running the Configure script.

   
   

   #!/bin/sh
   #
   # This file was produced by running the Configure script. It holds all the
   # definitions figured out by Configure. Should you modify one of these values,
   # do not forget to propagate your changes by running "Configure -der". You may
   # instead choose to run each of the .SH files by yourself, or "Configure -S".
   #
   
   # Package name      : gtk-gnutella
   # Source directory  : .
   # Configuration time: Wed Aug 15 14:50:53 HST 2012

   Alternatively, if your config.sh needs no modification, just run the following commands.

   
   

   ./Configure -S
   make depend

   
   
   
7. Before running make, open src/Makefile and insert -mwindows into the gtk-gnutella section:



gtk-gnutella:  $(OBJ) $(EXTRA)
        $(RM) $@
        if test -f $@$(_EXE); then \
                $(MV) $@$(_EXE) $@~$(_EXE); fi
        $(CC) -o $@  $(OBJ) $(EXTRA) -mwindows $(JLDFLAGS) $(LIBS)




This prevents GTK-gnutella from outputting error logs to a black console window.





8. Then, I compiled gtk-gnutella with the following commands:

   
   

   make
   
   make install

Building FAAC, XviD, GPAC and OGMRip

MPlayer Series

1. Preparing for MPlayer Compilation
   
2. To Compile MPlayer for Windows
   
3. Compiling MPlayer for Linux
   
4. Compiling Mencoder for Windows
   
5. SMPlayer, the Ultimate Movie Player
   

After building MPlayer and Mencoder for Linux, the last fun part is to build OGMRip so that we can rip movies into AVI or MP4 files as found on the P2P networks. OGMRip is a graphical movie convertor that uses MPlayer and Mencoder to convert a movie into another format.

Building FAAC

First, let's compile FAAC as it is needed to encode AAC audio. You need a g++ compiler, autoconf, automake and tcl-dev to compile FAAC, following a typical procedure:

./bootstrap
./configure --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --with-mp4v2
make
make install

The bootstrap command produces the configure script and Makefile necessary for the build procedure. The following set of files are generated upon compilation of FAAC:

/usr/bin/faac
/usr/include/faac.h
/usr/include/faaccfg.h
/usr/lib/libfaac.a
/usr/lib/libfaac.la
/usr/lib/libfaac.so
/usr/lib/libfaac.so.0
/usr/lib/libfaac.so.0.0.0
/usr/man/man1/faac.1.gz

Building XviD library

Now, let's build the XviD library. XviD is a popular video codec. A typical build procedure for XviD looks like this:

tar xzf xvidcore-1.2.2.tar.gz
cd xvidcore/build/generic
./configure --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Upon successful compilation, the following set of files are installed on system.

/usr/lib/libxvidcore.a
/usr/include/xvid.h
/usr/lib/libxvidcore.so
/usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4
/usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.1

Building GPAC

Next, let's compile GPAC which is an open-source MPEG-4 encoder. Before compiling GPAC, install the following developer libraries, most of which are optional:

liba52-0.7.4-dev
libasound2-dev
libavformat-dev
libfaad-dev
libmad0-dev
libmozjs-dev
libogg-dev
libopenjpeg-dev
libssl-dev
libtheora-dev
libvorbis-dev
libwxgtk2.8-0
libxvidcore4

Then, compile GPAC as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --cpu=i586 --enable-pic --strip --use-ffmpeg=local --use-js=local

make

make install

When GPAC is compiled and installed successfully, the following set of files are generated on the system:

/usr/bin/MP4Box
/usr/bin/MP4Client
/usr/bin/Osmo4
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_aac_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ac3_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_alsa.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_bifs_dec.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ctx_load.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_dummy_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ffmpeg_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ft_font.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_gpac_js.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_img_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ismacryp.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_isom_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_laser_dec.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_mp3_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_mpegts_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_odf_dec.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_ogg_xiph.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_oss_audio.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_raw_out.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_rtp_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_saf_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_soft_raster.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_svg_in.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_timedtext.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_x11_out.so
/usr/lib/gpac/gm_xvid_dec.so
/usr/lib/libgpac-0.4.5.so
/usr/lib/libgpac.so
/usr/man/man1/gpac.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/mp4box.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/mp4client.1.gz
/usr/share/gpac/gpac.mp4

If you encounter the following error during compilation:

scenegraph/vrml_smjs.c:41:20: error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory

make symlinks to jsapi.h and compile again as follows:

cd include/

ln -s ../extra_lib/include/js/* .

cd ..

./configure --prefix=/usr --cpu=i586 --enable-pic --strip --use-ffmpeg=local --use-js=local --extra-cflags=-DXP_UNIX

make

make install

Some programs require the gpac static library libgpac_static.a. This file is not installed by default. However, you can copy it manually:

cp bin/gcc/libgpac_static.a usr/lib

Building OGMRip

Finally, let's build OGMRip. First, make sure you have the following developer libraries:

libdbus-glib-1-dev
libdvdread-dev
libenca-dev
libenchant-dev
libgconf2-dev
libglade2-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libhal-dev
libnotify-dev
libstdc++6-4.4-dev
libtheora-dev

Optionally, install intltool, gtk-doc and xsltproc for internationalization and documentation. Then, build OGMRip as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-gtk-doc --with-ocr=auto

make

make install

After OGMRip is compiled and installed successfully, the following set of files are generated on system:

/etc/gconf/schemas/ogmrip.schemas
/usr/bin/avibox
/usr/bin/dvdcpy
/usr/bin/ogmrip

/usr/share/man/man1/subptools.1.gz
/usr/share/ogmrip/
/usr/share/pixmaps/ogmrip.png

Now that you've compiled OGMRip, go ahead and test it. Be sure that mplayer, mencoder, ogmtools, vorbis-tools, gpac, faac, lame, mkvtoolnix and gocr (or ocrad) are installed, also.

Compiling MLDonkey for Linux

MLDonkey is a multi-protocol P2P file-sharing program for Windows, Mac and Linux. Unlike eMule, MLDonkey supports Bittorrent, FastTrack and DirectConnect networks, too. Compiling MLDonkey requires OCaml compiler toolchain. First, download and install the following Ocaml stuff. These are names of required Debian packages:

ocaml-native-compilers

camlp4

ocaml-nox

Then, install these libraries:

zlib1g-dev

libbz-dev

libgd2-xpm-dev

libmagic-dev

Now, you are ready to compile MLDonkey. Change directory to the MLDonkey source tree and type these commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu

make release.mlnet.static

You'll get a tarball, for example, mldonkey-3.0.0.static.i586-Linux_glibc-2.7.tar.bz2. Keep it at a safe place. Now, extract the tarball to a directory, for example, /opt. In the extracted folder, you'll find an executable, mlnet. This is just a command-line program, so you need a GUI frontend, such as Sancho.

Compiling GTK 2 for Windows

Thank you for coming back. This post is outdated. Please read “Compiling GTK+ for Windows with MinGW”.

Manually Starting a VNC Server

Manually starting a VNC server is necessary for testing VNC. Once you got VNC to work correctly, you can copy the command line to a script or inetd.conf. First, I created an executable script ~/.vnc/xstartup with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh

exec /etc/X11/Xsession

This file has to be made executable, of course. Prior to starting vnc4server, make sure your X session can start normally by checking your ~/.xsession file. My .xsession file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

exec openbox

Then, I started vnc4server:

vnc4server -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 -name VNC4

The first time you run vnc4server, it will ask you for the password. Create a password that only you can guess and memorize it. Next, I installed TightVNC U3 package on my Sandisk U3 flash. I went over to another PC running Windows and plugged in my USB flash. The U3 menu popped up and I clicked on the TightVNC icon. Then, I specified the address of my Linux box running vnc4server:

192.168.1.234:1 or

192.168.1.234::5901

After I was done with vnc session, I killed the vnc4server with the following command:

vnc4server -kill :1

When vnc sessions don't seem working, check the log file: ~/.vnc/*.log

Connecting to a VNC Server through a SSH Tunnel

For security and privacy, VNC connection should be done through a SSH tunnel. Here, I am using Putty to set up a SSH Tunnel. First, type in the host name:

Next, type in the user name:

Check the following options. Also, move Blowfish up for speed:

Set up a SSH tunnel. The Source port will be the local port through which the VNC viewer will connect. The destination port is the remote port whereby the VNC server listens. Click Add button:

Save the Putty session.

Now that you set up a SSH tunnel, you can use a VNC viewer like TightVNC to connect through the SSH tunnel to the remote VNC server. For example, specify localhost::5900 as the server host to TightVNC.

Building Seamonkey in Linux

Seamonkey is yet another Web Browser with built-in email reader and address book. Formerly known as Mozilla Suite, Seamonkey is now abandoned by the Mozilla foundation in favor of Firefox and Thunderbird. However, Seamonkey is still being developed by a few people and is in a stable, useful state. Seamonkey is sometimes omitted from Linux distributions. If you want to use Seamonkey in such distros, you can either download a pre-compiled package or compile Seamonkey for yourself. Building Seamonkey in Linux is not as complicated as it may seem.

First, you need to install the necessary compiler tools and libraries:

• g++
  
• libgtk2.0-dev
  
• libidl-dev
  
• libjpeg62-dev
  
• libpng12-dev
  
• libxft-dev
  
• libxt-dev
  
• make
  
• zip
  

Next, download and unpack the seamonkey source from here. In the top-level mozilla directory, create a file, named .mozconfig, with the following contents:

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-i586-pc-linux-gnu
ac_add_options --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default,-irc
ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --with-system-png
ac_add_options --disable-system-cairo

Remote Desktop Session with VNC4Server & TightVNC

We are in a computing era in which we run applications from a remote computer or server. There are many ways for us to have remote desktop sessions. RDP, NX and VNC all are protocols designed to implement remote desktops. Of those, VNC is the most used and supported. This post is about many ways of setting up and using VNC in Linux and Windows. Below I explain how I set up a VNC remote session between my Linux box and a TightVNC viewer running on a Windows PC.

Setting up Inetd to start VNC on Incoming Connections

First, I installed vnc4server on my Debian Linux box. Alternatively, I could install tightvncserver instead. TightVNC is lighter than vnc4server. Anyway, to have inetd automatically start a VNC server on incoming connections, I added the following line to my /etc/inetd.conf file. This is all one line:

5995 stream tcp,rcvbuf=64k,sndbuf=256k wait nobody:nogroup /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 960x600 -depth 16 -AlwaysShared -rfbauth /etc/vnc/passwd -desktop myOffice -dpi 96 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 -co /etc/X11/rgb

For tightvncserver, the inetd.conf line would look slightly different because tightvncserver panics when wait is used instead of nowait. This means that tightvncserver sessions can never be shared when started from inetd:

5960 stream tcp,rcvbuf=64k,sndbuf=256k nowait nobody:nogroup /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 960x600 -depth 16 -desktop myOffice -dpi 96 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 -co /etc/X11/rgb

Typical port values are in the range from 5900 to 5999. Make sure everything in the following checklist is OK for VNC to work:

• A display manager, such as gdm, kdm, xdm or wdm, must be running and set up to accept XDMCP requests. Read the sections below about setting up XDMCP for VNC sessions.
  
• A VNC password must be created and stored in the readable file /etc/vnc/passwd. To create it, run:
  
  

  vncpasswd
  
  mkdir /etc/vnc
  
  mv ~/.vnc/passwd /etc/vnc
  
  chmod 644 /etc/vnc/passwd

  
  
• At least, fixed and cursor fonts must be present in the default font paths. If not, specify the font paths with -fp parameter.
  

Tell inetd to reload settings in /etc/inetd.conf with the following command:

kill -1 $(pidof inetd)

Setting up GDM to handle VNC logins

It is rather simple to make GDM accept XDMCP requests from a VNC server. Open the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and add the following lines in the [XDMCP] section:

[xdmcp]

Enable=true

Port=177

DisplaysPerHost=8

The lines above enable GDM to accept logins at UDP port 177. Also, GDM is set up to accept up to 8 users from localhost. Otherwise, GDM may refuse remote logins through SSH tunnel when there are already a couple of users logged in at localhost.

For security, it is recommended to add the following line to /etc/hosts.deny:

gdm: ALL

Then, add the following line to /etc/hosts.allow:

gdm: 127.0.0.1

Setting up XDM for use with VNC

XDM is lighter than gdm or kdm, so XDM is ideal for VNC sessions where network bandwidth and CPU resource are precious. In fact, XDM can coexist with gdm or kdm. In Debian, set HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER to false in the script /etc/init.d/xdm:

[ -z "$HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER" ] && HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=false

To set up XDM to handle VNC logins and deliver a user's desktop, XDMCP support has to be enabled first. Open the file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config and locate the following line:

DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

Change the number 0 to 177. Then, open the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and specify the range of addresses to allow access to XDM. Usually, it is sufficient to add only the following lines to /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess:

localhost

127.0.0.1

Optionally, you can change the look of the login screen. Open the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup and enter a command to set the background image:

#!/bin/sh

hsetroot -fill /usr/local/share/pixmaps/Repressed.jpg

You can also change the welcome line and the face image by editing the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:

xlogin*greeting: Remote VNC Session

xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/share/X11/xdm/pixmaps/xorg.xpm

Using TightVNC in Windows to Run a Linux Destop

I installed TightVNC U3 package on my USB thumbdrive so I can connect to my VNC server anywhere. However, I had to tweak TightVNC a little bit to open a VNC session to my Linux desktop.

The default encoding Tight doesn't work well with vnc4server. So I had to change it to CoRRE.

OpenOffice.org on Portable USB drive

My favorite Office suite is OpenOffice.org which is free and fully functional alternative to Microsoft Office 2007. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend OpenOffice.org to you.

However, OpenOffice.org is not widely available on computers in offices, cafe, schools and airports. In case you want to use OpenOffice.org on public computers without OpenOffice.org installed, you can install OpenOffice.org onto your USB flash drive beforehand, carry it with you wherever you go, and run OpenOffice.org from the USB thumbdrive. OpenOffice.org can be installed on USB thumbdrives of minimum 512 MB space. There are 2 portable releases of OpenOffice.org:

• U3 release of OpenOffice.org
  
  This version is outdated 2.2.0.0 and cannot be run on non-English versions of Windows.
  
• PortableApps.com release of OpenOffice.org
  
  This version is the latest 3.0.1 and can be run on all versions of Windows and also on Linux. Thus, I recommend PortableApps.com release.
  

Alexander and Baldwin Museum: Sugar Industry of Hawaii

The museum showcases many exhibits that illustrate the history of the sugar industry of Hawaii and the sugar industry’s impact on the Hawaiian culture. The sugar industry was a major industry in Hawaii since 1835 until 1960’s. It contributed greatly to economic development in Hawaii, laying out important infrastructures, such as water supplies, transportation and local financial groups like various factor agencies. The sugar industry also introduced various ethnic immigrants into Hawaii, making Hawaii such an ethnically diverse society today. The many ethnic groups from China, Japan, Philippines and Portuguese islands also brought their own unique culture with them, and these separate cultures intermingled to become a unique Hawaiian culture today.

The exhibits include the miniature model of the Maui island, the pictures of water tunnel construction, the drawing of Henry Baldwin’s courageous anecdote in Maliko gulch, artifacts of immigrant laborers, aerial picture of plantation camps, and various tools and machines used in the sugar mills.

The museum visit was a memorable experience for me whereby I saw the astonishing accomplishments by Samuel T. Alexander and Henry P. Baldwin, two local entrepreneurs of Hawaiian missionary ancestry. They started one of the largest industries in Hawaii, and their legacy remains one of the most powerful companies in Hawaii, the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar company. Although the museum is owned and run by the HC&S company, I didn’t find its exhibits biased or partial. For example, the exhibit on the lives of immigrant laborers in plantation camps explained the dual purpose of the camps: to ease the transition to the new land by ethnic groups and to discourage cooperation among ethnic groups. The museum exhibits were very interesting in that they also included many artifacts of labor immigrants and their labor contracts. The exhibits reminded me of the lectures in my Hawaiian history class about the sugar industry and multi-ethnic labor immigrants. The museum was both educational and inspirational to me in that it showed me the past hardships and efforts that led to the current greatness.

Bailey House Museum Report

The Bailey House Museum stands on the royal Hawaiian ground which was deemed sacred for Ali`i of Maui. The fact that Hawaiian noble chiefs donated this sacred ground to the missionaries to build a mission school adds to the significance of this museum. The building that houses the museum was built on 1833 and functioned as a mission school in its early years. Known as the Wailuku Female Seminary, the school taught many daughters of Maui’s chiefs how to read and write the Hawaiian language, the Christianity and crafts, such as spinning and weaving. Here, two important missionaries in the Hawaiian history, Reverend Jonathan Smith Green and Edward Bailey, lived and taught Hawaiian women. By teaching them how to read and write the Hawaiian language, they contributed greatly to perpetuation of the Hawaiian language and preservation of the Hawaiian culture. By educating Hawaiian women, this mission school significantly improved the social status of Hawaiian women, traditionally treated inferior to Hawaiian men.

The building of the Bailey house is in itself an important exhibit,whose structure showcases the workmanship of both the missionaries and early Hawaiian builders. The middle section of the house was built with large white bricks that illustrate the building style of Hawaiians.

Other important exhibits include many drawings by Bailey, his epic poem Hawaii Nei, many Hawaiian artifacts, such as Koa plates, Kapa cloths, stone tools and fishing lure for catching an Octopus, among many other things.

It was a special experience for me to visit the home of early missionaries and Hawaiian women educated there. I saw and touched old furnitures, beds, a spinning wheel, the oven and other housewares that early missionaries used. During the visit, I gained my understanding of what missionary lives in Hawaii were like. It is marvelous that the house still stands after nearly 2 hundred years. The exhibits well illustrate many aspects of Hawaiian history, including the missionary life and the Hawaiian culture. The exhibits are overall satisfactory, considering the limited space and the surrounding atmosphere. I learned about the Wailuku Female Seminary in my Hawaiian history class which I think played a significant role in improving literacy among Hawaiian women and their social status. The museum is an important heritage to Maui, the island I live in.

Problem with saving OpenOffice.org documents as PDF

I use OpenOffice 2.4 in Debian Linux 5.0 Lenny, but recently had a problem with exporting OpenOffice.org documents to PDF. Debian Lenny doesn't have OpenOffice.org 3.0 packages yet. I think the problem originates from using obscure Postscript fonts. I used Caslon Book BE in my OpenOffice.org Writer document, but the output of the exported PDF file was unreadable. Actually, the problematic PDF file didn't display any spaces.

Eventually, I fixed this problem. I saved the document as a postscript printout and converted it to PDF using pstopdf13.

ps2pdf13 input.ps output.pdf

Another thing I did to fix the problem was to change Times New Roman fonts in my formulas to Times New Roman PS. I also had to convert all pictures in the document to encapsulated Postscript format and embed them in the document. For EPS conversion of the pictures, I used GIMP.

cdrkit: Ripping CD/DVD ISO in Linux

To copy or rip an ISO image from a CD or a DVD, type the following command in xterm, mlterm or your favorite terminal:

readom dev=/dev/hdc f=mycopy.iso speed=2 retries=8 -noerror -nocorr

The readom command is contained in the wodim package which is commonly found in Debian Linux or Ubuntu systems. The example above rips a CD in the CD-ROM device /dev/hdc and save it as mycopy.iso. To find the device name of your CD-ROM or DVD drive, run wodim --devices.

The f= option specifies the filename to save the ISO image as. I chose the reading speed 2 because the ripping performs better at lower speeds. I also set the retry limit to 8 because the default retries of 128 is too time-consuming in case reading errors occur. For more information on the readom command, refer to the readom manual by running man readom

Windows 98/ME Driver for NEC/Belkin USB 2.0 Controller

I recently installed Windows ME and noticed that Windows ME didn't include drivers for USB 2.0 controllers. I have a Belkin USB 2.0 enhanced controller. It took me a while to find a Windows 98/ME driver for my USB 2.0 card. After searching Yahoo! I found 2 drivers. The first one is the Orangeware driver (Download it HERE) and has the following contents:

OUSB2.INF
OUSB2HUB.SYS
OUSBEHCI.SYS

The other driver (Download NECUSB2.ZIP or HERE) contains the following files:

NEHCD.SYS
NUSBD.SYS
Nehcd.inf
ReadMe.doc

Taking Screenshots in Linux

It's nice to be able to take pictures of your computer screen. Then, you can show the pictures to your friends or put it on the Web so people can be impressed with your pictures.

In Microsoft Windows, taking pictures of the computer screen is as easy as pressing the Print or Alt+Print key. Pressing the Print key takes a screenshot of the whole screen, whereas pressing the Alt+Print grabs the current focused Windows only.

However, taking screeenshots in Linux is not as simple as in Windows unless you use GNOME or KDE. In this post, I will list many ways of taking screenshots in Linux.

xwd, xwdtopnm and pnmtojpeg combination

In the most primitive way, I use a combination of xwd, xwdtopnm and pnmtojpeg. This method requires you to type commands in xterm. The following example takes the screenshot of the root window — the whole desktop:

xwd -root -screen | xwdtopnm | pnmtojpeg --quality=85 --optimize > ~/screenshot-`date +%F_%T`.jpeg

In case you want to take only the picture of the focused windows, the following example shows how:

xwd -frame -screen | xwdtopnm | pnmtojpeg --quality=85 --optimize > ~/screenshot-`date +%F_%T`.jpeg

It's useful to append a sleep command so that you have the time to select the window or arrange the screen the way you want:

sleep 5 && xwd -frame -screen | xwdtopnm | pnmtojpeg --quality=85 --optimize > ~/screenshot-`date +%F_%T`.jpeg

Vista Installation Annoyances

This post will eventually have a collection of tips for resolving issues when installing Windows Vista. Some of them are based on my own experience with Windows Vista installation, but I'm going to add useful advices I found on the Internet.

Partition your hard drive before booting Vista DVD

I think it's good to partition your hard drive first before going ahead with Vista installation. There are many partitioning tools, for example, GParted, Acronis DiskDirector and the forsaken PartitionMagic. My favorite is GParted. Because Vista leaves a little space at the beginning of the hard disk after installation, this may create a problem when you later move or resize your Vista partition.

Screen goes blank while Vista DVD is booting

This happened to me when I tried to install Windows Vista on my old computer with an LCD monitor. The screen went blank while there was no hard disk activity. However, when I punched the Caps Lock on the keyboard, the LED for Caps Lock switched on and off. So I knew the Vista DVD booted okay but Vista was'nt recognizing the monitor yet.

So I reset the PC. As soon as the Vista DVD began loading, I held down the F8 key until a black-and-white Advanced Boot Options menu appeared. I highlighted the line saying Enable low-resolution video (640x480) and pressed Enter. Then, Vista successfully booted into a nice Installation screen with large characters.

Vista doesn't recognize my hard disk

This happened to me when I tried to install Windows Vista on a hard drive that's connected to a PCI IDE controller — Promise Technology Ultra 100 TX2. Obviously, Vista couldn't recogize the IDE controller. So I had to download the driver and save it on a USB flash. Then, I plugged the flash drive in and told Vista to load the driver. After Vista successfully loaded the driver for my IDE controller, Vista could see my hard drive and install onto it.
