DIY SNES CLASSIC
Martin Wimpress
2017-01-24 12:00
Comments
Inspired by the recent NES Classic I made a DIY SNES CLASSIC just in time for the Christmas holidays and it’s very portable! To make one yourself you’ll need: * Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
* Retropie 4.1 or newer. * Two 8Bitdo SNES30 wireless controllers.
* A SNES 3D Printed case.
* CRT scanline shaders to complete the retro look on the big screen. Both controllers use Bluetooth, so two player wire-free gaming is possible. The USB cables are just for charging, but if you’ve got no charge they can be used as wired controllers too. Retropie can be controlled via the controllers, no keyboard/mouse required. RASPBERRY PI 3 NEXTCLOUD BOX RUNNING ON UBUNTU COREMartin Wimpress
2016-12-13 17:17
Comments
I recently bought the Nextcloud Box . When it came to setting it up I ran into a problem, I only had Raspberry Pi 3 computers available and at the time of writting the microSDHC card provided with the Nextcloud Box only supports the Raspberry Pi 2._Bummer!_
OVERVIEW
This guide outlines how to use Ubuntu Core on the Raspberry Pi 3to run Nextcloud
provided as a snap fromthe Ubuntu store.
If you’re not familiar with Ubuntu Core, here’s a quote: > Ubuntu Core is a tiny, transactional version of Ubuntu for IoT > devices and large container deployments. It runs a new breed of > super-secure, remotely upgradeable Linux app packages known> as snaps
After following this guide Ubuntu Core and any installed snaps (and their data) will reside on the SD card and the 1TB hard disk in the Nextcloud box will be available for file storage. This guide explainshow to:
* Install and configure Ubuntu Core 16 for the Raspberry Pi 3 * Format the 1TB hard disk in the Nextcloud Box and auto-mount it * Install the Nextcloud snap and connect the removable-media interface to allow access to the hard disk * Activate and configure the Nextcloud _External Storage_ app so the hard disk can be used to store files * Optional configuration of Email and HTTPS for Nextcloud PREPARE A MICROSDHC CARD I explained the main steps in this post but you _really should_ read and follow the Get started with a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3page as
it fully explains how to use a desktop computer to download an Ubuntu Core image for your Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 and copy it to an SD cardready to boot.
Here’s how to create an Ubuntu Core microSDHC card for the Raspberry Pi 3 using an Ubuntu desktop: * Download Ubuntu Core 16 image for Raspberry Pi 3 * Insert the microSDHC card into your PC * Use GNOME Disks and its _Restore Disk Image…_ option, which NATIVELY SUPPORTS XZ COMPRESSED IMAGES. * Select your SD card from the panel on the left * Click the “burger menu” on the right and Select _RestoreDisk Image…_
* Making sure the SD card is still selected, click the Power icon onthe right.
* Eject the SD card physically from your PC. UBUNTU CORE FIRST BOOT An Ubuntu SSO account is required to setup the first user onUbuntu Core:
* Start by creating an Ubuntu SSO account * Import an SSH Key into your Ubuntu SSO account * Here are instructions to generate an SSH Key * You’ll need a keyboard and monitor connected to the Raspberry Pi 3 to go complete the first boot process and device configuration. Insert the Ubuntu Core microSHDC into the Raspberry Pi, which should be in the assembled Nextcloud Box with a keyboard and monitor connected. Plug in the power. * The system will boot then become ready to configure * The device will display the prompt _“Press enterto configure”_
* Press enter then select _“Start”_ to begin configuring your network and an administrator account. Follow the instructions on the screen, you will be asked to configure your network and enter your Ubuntu SSO credentials * At the end of the process, you will see your credentials to access your Ubuntu Core machine: This device is registered toLOGIN
Once setup is done, you can login to Ubuntu Core using ssh, from a computer on the same network, using the following command: sshso with:
sudo console-conf
PREPARE 1TB HARD DISK Log in to your Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubuntu Core via ssh. sshext4 filesystem.
sudo fdisk /dev/sda Do the following to create the partition: Command (m for help): o Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x253fea38. Command (m for help): nPartition type
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free) e extended (container for logical partitions) Select (default p): p Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1 First sector (2048-1953458175, default 2048): Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-1953458175, default 1953458175): Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 931.5 GiB. Command (m for help): w Now format the partition and give it the label DATA. This label will be used to reference it for mounting later: sudo mkfs.ext4 -L data /dev/sda1 AUTOMATICALLY MOUNT THE PARTITION Most of the Ubuntu Core root file system is read-only, so it is not possible to edit /etc/fstab. Therefore we’ll use systemdto achieve that.
Be aware of one of the systemd.mount pitfalls: > Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they > control. Example: the mount point /home/lennart must be configured > in a unit file home-lennart.mount. Yes that’s right! THE UNIT FILENAME MUST MATCH THE MOUNT POINT PATH. Create the media-data.mount unit: sudo vi /writable/system-data/etc/systemd/system/media-data.mount Add the following content: Description=Mount unit for data What=/dev/disk/by-label/dataWhere=/media/data
Type=ext4
WantedBy=multi-user.target Reload systemd, scanning for new or changed units: sudo systemctl daemon-reload Start the media-data.mount unit, which will mount the volume, and also enable it so it will be automatically mounted on boot. sudo systemctl start media-data.mount sudo systemctl enable media-data.mount And just like any other unit, you can view its status using systemctlstatus:
sudo systemctl status media-data.mountUPDATE UBUNTU CORE
Make sure Ubuntu Core is up-to-date and reboot.sudo snap refresh
sudo reboot
After the reboot, make sure /media/data is mounted. If not double check the steps above.INSTALL NEXTCLOUD
The Nextcloud snap uses the removable-media interface, which grants access to /media/*, and requires manual connection: sudo snap install nextcloud sudo snap connect nextcloud:removable-media core:removable-media Browse to the Nextcloud IP address and create the admin user account,for example:
* http://nextcloud.local/ NEXTCLOUD CONFIGURATION In the examples below replace nextcloud.local with the IP address or hostname of your Nextcloud Box and replace example.org withyour domain.
EXTERNAL STORAGE
Enable the External Storge app via: * http://nextcloud.local/index.php/settings/apps?category=disabled# Configure External Storage app via: * http://nextcloud.local/index.php/settings/admin/externalstorages Use these settings: * Folder name: _data_ * External storage: _Local_ * Authentication: _None_ * Configuration: /media/data * Available for: _All_* Send mode: _SMTP_
* Encryption: _STARTTLS_ * From address: _nextcloud@example.org_ * Authentication method: _Plain_ * Authentication required: _Yes_ * Server address: _smtp.sendgrid.net:587_* Username: apikey
* Password: theactualapikeyENABLING HTTPS
It is strongly recommend that you use HTTPS if you intend to expose your Nextcloud to the Internet. First do a test to see if you can install a Let’s Encrypt certificate: sudo nextcloud.enable-https -d Answer the questions: Have you met these requirements? (y/n) y Please enter an email address (for urgent notices or key recovery): name@example.org Please enter your domain name(s) (space-separated): nextcloud.example.org Attempting to obtain certificates... done Looks like you're ready for HTTPS! If everything went well, then install the certificate sudo nextcloud.enable-https Answer the questions again: Have you met these requirements? (y/n) y Please enter an email address (for urgent notices or key recovery): name@example.org Please enter your domain name(s) (space-separated): nextcloud.example.org Attempting to obtain certificates... done Restarting apache... done If Let’s Encrypt didn’t work for you, you can always use Nextcloud with a self-signed certificate. sudo nextcloud.enable-https -s MANUAL CONFIGURATION CHANGES If you need to make any tweaks to the Nextcloud configuration file you can edit it like so: sudo vi /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/config.php If you have manually editted the Nextcloud configuration you may need to restart nextcloud: sudo snap disable nextcloud sudo snap enable nextcloudCONCLUSION
So there it is, Nextcloud running on Ubuntu Core powered by a Raspberry Pi 3. The performance is reasonable, obviously not stellar, but certainly good enough to move some cloud services for a small family away from the likes of Google and Dropbox. Now go and install some Nextcloud clients for your desktops and devices:-)
HP MICROSERVER N54L POWER SAVING AND PERFORMANCE TUNING USING DEBIAN.Martin Wimpress
2015-12-16 12:00
Comments
I’ve installed Open Media Vault on a HP ProLiant MicroServer G7 N54L and use it as media server for the house. OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian.
I want to minimise power consumption but maximise performance. Here are some tweaks reduce power consumption and improve network performance.POWER SAVING
Install the following. apt-get install amd64-microcode firmware-linux firmware-linux-free \ firmware-linux-nonfree pciutils powertop radeontoolAnd for ACPI.
apt-get install acpi acpid acpi-support acpi-support-baseASPM AND ACPI
First I enabled PCIE ASPM in the BIOS and forced the kernel to use it and ACPI via grub by changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, so it looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force pcie_aspm=force nmi_watchdog=0" Then update grub and reboot.update-grub
reboot
ENABLE POWER SAVING VIA UDEV The following rules file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-local-n54l.rules enables power saving modes for all PCI, SCSI and USB devices and ASPM. Futher the internal Radeon card power profile is set to low as there is rarely a monitor connected. The file contains the following: SUBSYSTEM=="module", KERNEL=="pcie_aspm", ACTION=="add", TEST=="parameters/policy", ATTR{parameters/policy}="powersave" SUBSYSTEM=="i2c", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto" SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/autosuspend", ATTR{power/autosuspend}="2" SUBSYSTEM=="scsi", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto" SUBSYSTEM=="spi", ACTION=="add", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto" SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card*", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="radeon", TEST=="power/control", TEST=="device/power_method", ATTR{device/power_method}="profile", ATTR{device/power_profile}="low" SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_host", KERNEL=="host*", ACTION=="add", TEST=="link_power_management_policy", ATTR{link_power_management_policy}="min_power" Add this to /erc/rc.local. echo '1500' > '/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs'HARD DISK SPINDOWN
Using the Open Media Vault web interface got to Storage -> Physical Disks, select each disk in turn and click Edit then set: * ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT: Intermediate power usage with standby * AUTOMATIC ACOUSTIC MANAGEMENT: Minimum performance, Minimumacoustic output
* SPINDOWN TIME: 20 minutesPERFORMANCE TUNING
NETWORK
The following tweaks improve network performance ,but I HAVE A HP NC360T PCI EXPRESS DUAL PORT GIGABIT SERVER ADAPTER in my N54L so these settings may not be applicable to the onboard NIC. Add this to /erc/rc.local. ethtool -G eth0 rx 4096 ethtool -G eth1 rx 4096 ethtool -G eth0 tx 4096 ethtool -G eth1 tx 4096 ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 1000 ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 1000 Add the following to /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf. fs.file-max = 100000 net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 50000 net.core.optmem_max = 40960 net.core.rmem_default = 16777216 net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 net.core.wmem_default = 16777216 net.core.wmem_max = 16777216 net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0 net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0 net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000 net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10 net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 30000 net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 2000000 net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216net.ipv4.tcp_sack=0
net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 0 net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0 net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216 net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min = 8192 net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min = 8192 vm.swappiness = 10CONCLUSION
With these settings applied powertop reports everything that can be in a power saving mode is and the room temperature is measurably cooler. More importantly, with four 4TB drives in a RAID-5 configuration formatted with XFS and dual bonded gigabit ethernet, I am able to backup data to the server at a sustained rate of 105MB/s, which is0.85 Gbit.
Not too shabby for an AMD Turion II Neo N54L (2.2GHz) :-DREFERENCES

I’ve just bought my first _brand new_ computer since 2008. Thanks tothe Black Friday
and Cyber
Monday sales on
Amazon.co.uk and Scan.co.uk this year I was able to put together a pretty sweet Intel NUC which is now running Ubuntu MATE 15.10.
I spoke about this new system on LINUX Unplugged Episode 122 and have been contacted by people wanting more details. Hopefully this blog post will answer any outstanding questions. Press play below to hear to what I said on the podcast.THE NUC
I purchased an Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) Kit NUC5I7RYH.
* Barebones mini PC* 1 x Core i7 5557U
/ 3.1 GHz
* Iris Graphics 6100* Gigabit Ethernet
* Bluetooth 4.0 LE
* 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi Everything works out of the box with Ubuntu MATE 15.10 including sending audio to the monitor over HDMI and DisplayPort.THE RAM
The Core i7 5557U
specs state that DDR3L 1866 Mhz RAM is supported. The arstechnica Mini-review: Intel’s powered-up Core i7 Broadwell mini PC has some benchmarks that show a performance improvement when using 1866 Mhz clocked RAM, so I purchased: * HyperX Impact SODIMM - 16GB Kit*(2x8GB) - DDR3L 1866MHzCL11 SODIMM
THE SSDS
I have two SSDs in the NUC. * Samsung MZVPV256HDGL-00000 - SM951 256GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMeSolid State Drive
* SanDisk Ultra II SSD 960 GB Sata III 2.5-inch Internal SSD THIS IS WHERE YOU MIGHT NEED TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH. At the time of writing, it is not possible to boot directly from the Samsung SM951 NVMe SSD. Although other quad channel NVMe SSDs do appear to be supported as the boot device. It is possible that the Samsung SSD 950Pro
,
which is also NVMe, can be used as the boot device in Linux, but _don’t take my word for it_. Do your research. My work around was make the SanDisk Ultra II the boot device by putting /boot and the MBR on it. I have put / and swap (swap because I want to experiment with suspend and hibernate) are on the Samsung SM951 and /home is on the SanDisk Ultra II. There are faster SSDs than the SanDisk Ultra II but this was 50% off during Black Friday and just too good a deal to pass by. I did sacrifice a little performance on this component, so if absolute performance is your goal look at alternative SSDs, the Samsung 850 EVO seems to benchmark favourably.THE MONITOR
A week after I purchased the NUC I noticed ebuyer.com were selling the monitor I wanted with a 100 discount. So I snapped one up.* Samsung S27D850T
27” WQHD LED DVI HDMI Monitor The NUC is connected via mini Display Port and my Dell Precision T7400 is connected via HDMI. The Samsung S27D850T has an audio out and a 2.1 speaker set is connected to it.CONCLUSION
I’m extremely happy with the NUC5I7RYH.
Linux compatibility is first class, it’s fast and has relatively low power consumption. You can even charge a mobile phone using one of the front USB ports (the yellow one) when the NUC is powered off. It is my principle workstation and is able to handle everything I demand fromit, with ease:
* mp3 and ogg audio encoding * h.264 video encoding (~1 min of video @480p encodes in 1 second) * running multiple virtual machines * compiling large applications * creating xz compressed images of Ubuntu flavours for the RaspberryPi 2
I’ve not tried gaming on it yet, but the holidays are approaching and GRID Autosport was released for SteamOS this week. So I know what I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks time :-D INSTALLING NIKOLA ON UBUNTUMartin Wimpress
2015-11-05 11:00
Comments
Nikola is a static site and blog generator written in Python that I’ve been using for a good while now. This blog post describes how to install Nikola on Ubuntu 14.04 or newer. Now, this may look like a long winded way to install Nikola, given that .deb package exist, but in my opinion it is the correct way to install Nikolaon Ubuntu.
INSTALLING PYTHON
First you’ll need Python. sudo apt-get install cython3 libpython3.4 python3.4 python3.4-dev python3.4-minimal Now install the Python “package” management utilities. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-virtualenv python-pip virtualenvwrapperTHE SNAKEPIT
Create a “Snakepit” directory for storing all the virtualenvs.mkdir ~/Snakepit
CREATE A VIRTUALENV FOR NIKOLA The following will create a new virtualenv called nikola based onPython 3.4.
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 ~/Snakepit/nikola-773 WORKING ON A VIRTUALENV To activate the virtualenv do the following. source ~/Snakepit/nikola-773/bin/activate Your shell prompt will change while a virtualenv is being worked on to indicate which virtualenv is currently active. While working on a virtualenv you can pip install what you need or manually install any Python libraries safe in the knowledge you will not adversely damage any other virtualenvs or the global packages in the process. Very useful for developing a new branch which may have different library requirements than the master/head. When you are finished working in a virtualenv you can deactivate it by simply executing deactivate. INSTALL NIKOLA REQUIREMENTS Nikola requires some additional packages. sudo apt-get install liblcms2-dev libfreetype6-dev libjpeg8-dev \ libopenjp2-7-dev libtiff5-dev libwebp-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev \ libyaml-dev libzmq-dev zlib1g-dev Some of the content optimisation filters require additional packages. sudo apt-get install closure-compiler jpegoptim optipng yui-compressor Install Tidy 5. (optional) sudo apt-get -y remove libtidy-0.99-0 tidy wget http://binaries.html-tidy.org/binaries/tidy-5.1.14/tidy-5.1.14-64bit.deb -O /tmp/tidy5.deb sudo dpkg -i /tmp/tidy5.deb sudo ln -s /usr/bin/tidy /usr/local/bin/tidy5rm /tmp/tidy5.deb
WHAT ARE THESE REQUIREMENTS FOR? The following are required to build pillow, the Pythonimaging library.
* liblcms2-dev
* libfreetype6-dev
* libjpeg8-dev
* libopenjp2-7-dev
* libtiff5-dev
* libwebp-dev
* zlib1g-dev
The following are required to build lxml, a Python XML library.* libxml2-dev
* libxslt1-dev
The following are required to build python-coveralls.* libyaml-dev
The following are required to build pyzmq.* libzmq-dev
INSTALL NIKOLA
First install Cython, which will ensure some of the packages required by Nikola use all the available optimisations. pip install --upgrade Cython Install all of Nikola. pip install --upgrade "Nikola"CREATE A SITE
After installing Nikola, you should create a site. A site is a collection of all assets needed to render your website, including configuration, posts, pages, images, and all other files and customizations. To create a site, you need to run: nikola inityou from here.
INSTALLING WILLIE IRC BOT ON DEBIANMartin Wimpress

Comments
Willie is an IRC bot written in Python that I’ve recently started using. This blog post describes how to install Willie on Debian and as usual I will be using virtualenv to isolate this Python application from the rest ofthe system.
INSTALLING PYTHON
First you’ll need Python. sudo apt-get install libpython2.7 python2.7 python2.7-dev python2.7-minimal The following will also be required to enable all the featuresWillie supports.
sudo apt-get install enchant python2.7-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev Remove any apt installed Python packages that we are about to replace. The versions of these packages in the Debian repositories soonget stale.
sudo apt-get purge python-setuptools python-virtualenv python-pip python-profilerInstall pip.
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py sudo python2.7 get-pip.py Use pip to install virtualenv. sudo pip install virtualenv --upgradeTHE SNAKEPIT
Create a “Snakepit” directory for storing all the Python virtual environments.mkdir ~/Snakepit
CREATE A VIRTUALENV FOR WILLIE The following will create a new virtualenv called willie using Python 2.7 as the interpreter. virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 ~/Snakepit/willie WORKING ON A VIRTUALENV Activate the virtualenv for Willie. source ~/Snakepit/willie/bin/activate Your shell prompt will change, something like (willie)user@host:~$, while a virtualenv is being worked on to indicate which virtualenv iscurrently active.
While working on a virtualenv you can pip install what you need or manually install any Python libraries safe in the knowledge you will not upset any other virtualenvs or the global packages in the process. Very useful for developing a new branch which may have different library requirements than the current stable release. When you are finished working in a virtualenv you can deactivate it by simply executing deactivate.INSTALL WILLIE
I’ve decided to use Python 2.7 to run Willie and therefore have to install backports.ssl_match_hostname which is not required if you usePython 3.3.
pip install willie backports.ssl_match_hostname ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY Willie has no external dependencies, besides Python. However, some of the modules do have external dependencies. So install the following Python modules so that I can make use of everything Willie can do. pip install feedparser pytz lxml praw pyenchant pygeoip ipython --upgradeCONFIGURE WILLIE
I am not going to explain to how to configure Willie because all that good stuff is very well documented by the project. * https://github.com/embolalia/willie/wiki But for reference, my default.cfg looks something like this: nick = nicofyourbot user = nicofyourbot name = Give You Bot A Name host = chat.freenode.netuse_ssl = true
verify_ssl = true
port = 6697
owner = nicofthebotowner channels = #example nickserv_password = ************prefix = \.
timeout = 120
userdb_type = sqlite userdb_file = /home/username/.willie/willie.dbWILLIE AS A DAEMON
From this point on I assume you’ve completed the first run configuration of Willie and have .willie/default.cfg in yourhome directory.
Add the following to /etc/init.d/willie.#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: willie # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs # Should-Start: $network # Should-Stop: $network # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Willie IRC Bot. # Description: Start and stops the Willie IRC bot for a given user. ### END INIT INFO # NOTE! Replace with the user you want to run Willie. willie_USER="yourusername" HOMEDIR=$(getent passwd $willie_USER | awk -F: '{print $6}') DAEMON="$HOMEDIR/Snakepit/willie/bin/willie" CONFIG="$HOMEDIR/.willie/default.cfg"startd() {
if ; then
echo "Starting Willie for $willie_USER" start-stop-daemon -c $willie_USER -u $willie_USER -x $DAEMON -S -- --config ${CONFIG} --fork --quietelse
echo "Couldn't start Willie for $willie_USER (no $CONFIG found)"fi
}
stopd() {
echo "Stopping Willie for $willie_USER" willie_PID=$(pgrep -fu $willie_USER $DAEMON)if ; then
echo "Willie for USER $willie_USER: not running."else
kill -15 $willie_PIDfi
}
status() {
willie_PID=$(pgrep -fu $willie_USER $DAEMON)if ; then
echo "Willie for USER $willie_USER: not running."else
echo "Willie for USER $willie_USER: running (pid $willie_PID)"fi
}
case "$1" in
start) startd ;;
stop) stopd ;;
restart|reload|force-reload) stopd && startd ;;status) status ;;
*) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/willie {start|stop|reload|force-reload|restart|status}"exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Set the permissions. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/willie Check that you can start/stop Willie. sudo /etc/init.d/willie start sudo /etc/init.d/willie status sudo /etc/init.d/willie stop Add willie to the startup/shutdown sequence. sudo update-rc.d willie defaults And that’s it. Willie is now running as a daemon insidea virtualenv.
ZNC IRC PROXY
Martin Wimpress
2014-08-02 10:10
Comments
I have been using the BIPIRC proxy that
maintains a persistent connection(s) to a list of IRC channels. However, I’ve heard good things about ZNC and decided to give it a try. The purpose of an IRC proxy, or bouncer, is that you can then point your IRC clients to them to maintain a transparent connection from multiple clients and playback the conversations that took place whileyou were away.
INSTALLING ZNC
The ZNC package for Debian Wheezy are very old, so I decide to installfrom source.
INSTALL REQUIRED PACKAGES We first need to make sure we have all the packages required tobuild ZNC.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libperl-dev pkg-configCOMPILE ZNC
Now download and compile ZNC.cd
wget http://znc.in/releases/znc-1.4.tar.gz tar zxvf znc-1.4.tar.gzcd znc-1.4
./configure --with-opensslmake
sudo make install
CREATE A USER
Create a separate ZNC user so that ZNC does not need to run as root:sudo groupadd znc
sudo adduser --system --home /var/lib/znc --group zncCONFIGURING ZNC
You can use the interactive wizard to configure ZNC which really help create the initial configuration. sudo -u znc /usr/local/bin/znc --datadir=/var/lib/znc --makeconf Here is a transcript of how I answered the initial configuration questions. Checking for list of available modules...ok
Building new config First let's start with some global settings... What port would you like ZNC to listen on? (1025 to 65535): 7778 Would you like ZNC to listen using SSL? (yes/no) : yes Would you like ZNC to listen using both IPv4 and IPv6? (yes/no) : Verifying the listener...ok
Unable to locate pem file: , creating it Writing Pem file ...ok

You can enable those later. Load moduleok
To connect to this ZNC you need to connect to it as your IRC server using the port that you supplied. You have to supply your login info as the IRC server password like this: user/network:pass. Try something like this in your IRC client... /server#! /bin/sh

After you’ve created the script, you must give it the proper permissions to run and add the script to the startup/shutdown sequence. sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/znc sudo update-rc.d znc defaultsStart the service:
sudo service znc startStop the service:
sudo service znc stopWEB CONFIGURATION
I love that ZNC comes bundled with a web based configuration tool. Just login to https://znc.example.org:7778 to add users, add networks to users and to add channels to networks. Really simple stuff. IRC CLIENT CONFIGURATION I use HexChat , but other IRC clients are available. Just add a new Network to HexChat for your ZNC server, use the username, suffixed with the network name you configured in ZNC, and your ZNC password.CONCLUSION
I much prefer ZNC to BIP. * I really like the web and IRC configuration but I still have the option to configure the config files directly. * ZNC is far less cryptic with regard to setting up IRC client connections and user management is much better implemented. * When I add a new channel to an existing network in ZNC it automatically appears in my connected clients without the need torestart anything.
* ZNC’s IRC backlogs don’t have the confusing double time stamps present in BIP and ZNC is much faster re-establishing connections to my multiple IRC network and channels. * Most importantly, ZNC has been far more stable than BIP.REFERENCES

I have a few Debian servers that run at home and on VPSs. I wanted to add some basic systems monitoring to them, but didn’t want anything too complicated to look after. I found Monitorix.

This install has been tested on Debian Squeeze and Wheezy. First install the dependencies. sudo apt-get install rrdtool perl libwww-perl libmailtools-perl \ libmime-lite-perl librrds-perl libdbi-perl libxml-simple-perl \ libhttp-server-simple-perl libconfig-general-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl Now Monitorix itself. wget -c "http://apt.izzysoft.de/ubuntu/dists/generic/index.php?file=monitorix_3.5.1-izzy1_all.deb" -O monitorix_3.5.1-izzy1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i monitorix_3.5.1-izzy1_all.deb At this point Monitorix is installed and running. Point your browser to http://example.org:8080/monitorix/ and enjoy! CONFIGURING MONITORIX Everything in /etc/monitorix/monitorix.conf is comprehensively documented, just get tweaking. * http://www.monitorix.org/documentation.html Each time you update the configuration Monitorix will requirea restart.
sudo service monitorix restartNGINX STATUS
If you run nginx then you’ll want to drop the following into /etc/nginx/conf.d/status.conf so that Monitorix can monitor nginx.server {
listen localhost:80; location /nginx_status {stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
}

Last year I removed all my music from Google Play Music and created my own subSonic server. I really like subSonic but don’t use it a huge amount, mostly for syncing some music to my phone prior to going on holiday or business. Therefore, I’ve made a single one time donation to the project rather than the ongoing monthly usage fee. INSTALLING SUBSONIC ON DEBIAN This is how I install subSonic on Debian Wheezy.INSTALL TOMCAT.
sudo apt-get install tomcat7INSTALL SUBSONIC.
apt-get install ffmpeg sudo mkdir /var/subsonic sudo chown tomcat7: /var/subsonic sudo wget -c https://github.com/KHresearch/subsonic/releases/download/v4.9-kang/subsonic.war sudo cp subsonic.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webappsRestart Tomcat.
sudo service tomcat7 restart Login to subSonic by visiting http://server.example.org:8080/subsonic and login with the credentials admin and admin. Make sure you change the password straight away. Right, that is it. You can stop here and start filling subSonic withyour music.
SUBSONIC CLIENTS
On the rare occasions that I listen to music via subSonic I useUltraSonic
for Android and Clementine on my Arch Linux workstations.REFERENCES

I have a Brother MFC-7360N printer at home and there is also one at work. I wanted to to get Cloudprint working with Android devices rather than use the Android app Brother provide, which is great when it works but deeply frustrating (for my wife) whenit doesn’t.
What I describe below is how to Cloudprint enable “Classic printers” using Debian Wheezy.INSTALL CUPS
Install CUPS and the Cloudprint requirements. sudo apt-get install cups python-cups python-daemon python-pkg-resources INSTALL THE MFC-7360N DRIVERS I used the URL below to access the .deb files required.*
http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=mfc7360n_all&os=128 If you’re running a 64-bit Debian, then install ia32-libs first. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs Download and install the MFC-7360N drivers. wget -c http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006237/mfc7360nlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb wget -c http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006239/cupswrapperMFC7360N-2.0.4-2.i386.deb sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc7360nlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb sudo dpkg -i --force-all cupswrapperMFC7360N-2.0.4-2.i386.debCONFIGURE CUPS
Edit the CUPS configuration file commonly located in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and make the section that looks like: # Only listen for connections from the local machine. Listen localhost:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.socklook like this:
# Listen on all interfacesPort 631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock Modify the Apache specific directives to allow connections from everywhere as well. Find the follow section in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:Order allow,deny
# Restrict access to the admin pages...Order allow,deny
# Restrict access to the configuration files...AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEMOrder allow,deny
Order allow,deny
Allow All
# Restrict access to the admin pages...Order allow,deny
Allow All
# Restrict access to the configuration files...AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEMOrder allow,deny
Allow All
AUTHENTICATE
Google accounts with 2 step verification enabled need to use an application-specific password.*
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1056283&topic=1056286 Authenticate cloudprintd. sudo service cloudprintd login You should see something like this. Accounts with 2 factor authentication require an application-specific password Google username: you@example.orgPassword:
Added Printer MFC7360N Start the Cloudprint daemon. sudo service cloudprintd start If everything is working correctly you should see your printer thefollowing page:

Add the Google Cloud Print app to Android devices and you’ll be able to configure your printer preferences and print from Android.. CHROME AND CHROMIUM When printing from within Google Chrome and Chromium you can now select Cloudprint as the destination and choose your printer.REFERENCES
