To generate a password, in addition to the command above, there are 4 other commands, or at least I know only these, however, all from the command line.

egrep-ioam1 '[a-z0-9] (8)' / dev / urandom

openssl rand-base64 9

makepasswd --chars=20

</ Dev / urandom tr-dc A-Za-z0-9_ | head-c10 | xargs | cat

This post comes from the awareness that I am one to whom things simple, especially sula my Debian, I've never liked. So much so that by dint of experience, there is always something wrong. Sometimes I wonder, why use an OS, where when you hurry and urgency to do something, anything does not work, rather than use another where everything goes to the first stroke, yet in my hard disk, there are always present at least 5 systems, but as we all know "C'est l'amour", and that famous question that I sometimes I do, I always respond the same way, "I LIKE TO ME SO '.", and at this point for me to forgive my beloved, to treat her like I want to take beautiful love song.

After dried the tears come straight to the point, and told of my urge to burn a movie onto a dvd-rw, and after they used in series, GnomeBaker, Brasero and K3b can not burn anything, and I get a deluge of errors .

To obtain a screencast with Linux, there is a great program like gtk-recordMyDesktop, which is nothing more than a fronted for recordMyDesktop. The screencast is exported as the end format. Ogg. Another method, largely because I think the best is to use ffmpeg customizable, with the following command:

x11grab ffmpeg-f-s 1280 × 1024-r 30-i: 0.0 / home / USER / Desktop / screencast.mpg

the end just press q to exit.

In this example I used as a resolution of 1280 × 1024, and as a final format. Mpg. But you can choose a different resolution, and especially to export in different formats, depending on our needs.

T o get a graphical view of all sub-directories in a given path, you can use the following command:

ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e 's/:$//' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//--/g' -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/-/|/'

F or those who want to know the version of your bios, one method consists nell'utillizzare dd, with the following syntax:

dd if = / dev / mem bs = 32k skip = 31 count = 1 | strings-n 8 | grep-i bios

in my case the output of this command was:

debianbox: / home / edmond # dd if = / dev / mem bs = 32k skip = 31 count = 1 | strings-n 8 | grep-i bios1 +0 records in
1 +0 records out

For all those who believe that with Linux you can not get rich, I want to present WinforLinux tonight, hoping to contribute to vosta and my wealth. To become rich do not need to do is type this command:

echo $ (1-20 shuf-i | head-n9 | sort-n) - $ (1-10 shuf-i | head-n1)

I found that I'm going to play is this:

1 7 8 9 13 14 15 18 19 to 5

Your what will? When you win, remember me:)

I just noticed that Iceweasel 3.5.3 was released by experimental and is present in Sid, while we are in Debian Squeeze version 3.0.14. To upgrade must not do is add the repo at the moment of Sid, and then later remove them.

# Echo deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main | tee-a / etc / apt / sources.list

# Apt-get update

# Apt-get install iceweasel

Today, having had a bit of time I wanted to compile Gimp 2.7, to check the news, one in all the famous single-window mode, and check if it was done a little photoshop style of order, as promised. Gimp 2.7 does not is nothing but the testing version of the future Gimp 2.8. Title I as I compiled on Debian Squeeze, then fill to make sure you have everything there is a need including:

git-core libtool autoconf automake intltool

still occur wanting more.

We start with determining the variables, since we will install in / opt, so we can use both versions of Gimp.

export PATH = $ PATH: / opt/gimp-2.7/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH = / opt/gimp-2.7/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = / opt/gimp-2.7/lib

then ensure that we can compile Gimp:

sudo apt-get build-dep gimp

At this point we have to download and complete graphics library and Babl GEGL.

Babl:

git clone --depth 1 git://git.gnome.org/babl
cd babl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.7
make -j4
sudo make install -j4

GEGL:

git clone --depth 1 git://git.gnome.org/gegl
cd gegl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.7 --disable-gtk-doc
make -j4
sudo make install -j4

Now we download and compile Gimp:

GIMP:

git clone --depth 1 git://git.gnome.org/gimp
cd gimp
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.7 --disable-gtk-doc
make -j4
sudo make install -j4

at this point if everything went well we are with Gimp 2.7 installed in / opt and we can start it with:

/opt/gimp-2.7/bin/gimp-2.7

The first assessment is certainly good, but way to go any more so. I say this without wishing to make comparisons between Gimp and Photoshop, which would be like making a comparison between Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher.
