masa on noob.
masa on myöskin sähkötekniikkaa "opiskeleva" noob.
masa ylläpitää omaa palvelintaan, jonka nimi on tällä hetkellä quad. quadilla pyörii irssi, webbiserveri, pellettipolttimen logitussoftat, git-repoja, Minecraft-palvelimia ja toisinaan sekalaisia muitakin pelipalvelimia.
=== masa's random collection of Linux configuration stuffs ===
==== Disable the Recently used files list in GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x ====
===== In GTK+ 2.x =====
<source>
rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
echo gtk-recent-files-max-age=0 >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
</source>
<strong>Note:</strong> At least with LXAppearance installed, add that config value to the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead!
===== In GTK+ 3.x =====
<source>
rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
echo gtk-recent-files-max-age=0 >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
echo gtk-recent-files-limit=0 >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
</source>
<strong>Note:</strong> If the file didn't exist, add "[Settings]" to the top of it!
==== Swap the left and right channels with pulseaudio ====
Copy the following config:
<source>
cp -pi /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/default.pa
</source>


masa on myöskin sähkötekniikkaa "opiskeleva" noob.
Edit the config, add the following two lines to the end:
<source>
load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=reverse-stereo master=1 channels=2 master_channel_map=front-right,front-left channel_map=front-left,front-right
set-default-sink reverse-stereo
</source>
 
Restart PulseAudio by running pactl exit at the command line.


masa ylläpitää omaa palvelintaan, jonka nimi on tällä hetkellä dual. dualilla pyörii irssi, webbiserveri, pellettipolttimen logitussoftat ja suurelle yleisölle on tarjolla 24/7 toimiva Hard-vaikeustason KillingFloor-palvelin. Suunnitelmissa on tarjota lisää pelipalvelimia, kunhan joskus saan paremman nettiyhteyden kotiin.
This configuration makes a few basic assumptions: that the card you're reversing the channels of is card 0; that you only have to deal with 2 channels; and that those channels are called front-left and front-right. If you have a videocard with HDMI out, it is likely the analog out of your motherboard will be card 1, not 0; so master=1.

Nykyinen versio 29. kesäkuuta 2015 kello 12.03

masa on noob. masa on myöskin sähkötekniikkaa "opiskeleva" noob. masa ylläpitää omaa palvelintaan, jonka nimi on tällä hetkellä quad. quadilla pyörii irssi, webbiserveri, pellettipolttimen logitussoftat, git-repoja, Minecraft-palvelimia ja toisinaan sekalaisia muitakin pelipalvelimia.

masa's random collection of Linux configuration stuffs

Disable the Recently used files list in GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x

In GTK+ 2.x
rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
echo gtk-recent-files-max-age=0 >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Note: At least with LXAppearance installed, add that config value to the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead!

In GTK+ 3.x
rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
echo gtk-recent-files-max-age=0 >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
echo gtk-recent-files-limit=0 >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Note: If the file didn't exist, add "[Settings]" to the top of it!

Swap the left and right channels with pulseaudio

Copy the following config:

cp -pi /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/default.pa

Edit the config, add the following two lines to the end:

load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=reverse-stereo master=1 channels=2 master_channel_map=front-right,front-left channel_map=front-left,front-right
set-default-sink reverse-stereo

Restart PulseAudio by running pactl exit at the command line.

This configuration makes a few basic assumptions: that the card you're reversing the channels of is card 0; that you only have to deal with 2 channels; and that those channels are called front-left and front-right. If you have a videocard with HDMI out, it is likely the analog out of your motherboard will be card 1, not 0; so master=1.

Some useful commands

Record an area from the screen

Record a region from screen, with audio (can be used to record for example Minecraft). Shows the region outlines to align the window.

ffmpeg -f x11grab -show_region 1 -r 25 -s 1280x720 -i :0.0+500,80 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 22 -f alsa -i pulse -c:a libvorbis -b:a 96k -threads 0 -f matroska sda6/minecraft_withertaistelu_overview_2012-11-24_2.mkv

Another sometimes useful option fo x11grab:
-follow_mouse centered|<PIXELS>

When it is specified with "centered", the grabbing region follows the mouse pointer and keeps the pointer at the center of region; otherwise, the region follows only when the mouse pointer reaches within PIXELS (greater than zero) to the edge of region.

Encode images into a (timelapse) video

ffmpeg -f image2 -i ms_all/shot_%06d.png -r 25 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 25 -an -threads 0 -f matroska rakennustapahtuma_2012-11-03_crf25_medium.mkv

Some random web stuff

Generate a SSL-key:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -nodes -days 1001


Random shell scripts

Safely shutdown a SATA hard drive (spins it down). Umount first! Usage example: scsiremove /dev/sdb

/usr/local/bin/scsiremove (needs sys-block/scsiadd and sys-fs/lsscsi):

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
        echo "Usage: $0 <device>"
        exit 1
fi

if ! which lsscsi >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "Error: lsscsi not installed";
        exit 1
fi

if ! which scsiadd >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "Error: scsiadd not installed"
        exit 1
fi

device=`lsscsi | grep $1`

if [ -z "$device" ]; then
        echo "Error: could not find device: $1"
        exit 1
fi

hcil=`echo $device | awk \
'{split(substr($0, 2, 7),a,":"); print a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4]}'`

scsiadd -r $hcil

Merge together video files in matroska containers (needs media-video/mkvtoolnix).

/usr/local/bin/merge.sh:

#!/bin/bash

ALL="empty"
DSTDIR=${1}
FILES=${2}

for i in $(ls ${FILES}*)
do
        if [ "$ALL" = "empty" ]; then
                ALL=${i}
                FIRST=${i}
        else
                ALL="${ALL} + ${i}"
        fi
done

#COMBINED=$(basename $FIRST | sed "s/\.mkv/_all.mkv/")
COMBINED=`basename ${FIRST} | sed "s/\.\([a-zA-Z0-9]\{1,10\}\)$/_all\.\1/"`

if [ -f "${DSTDIR}${COMBINED}" ];
then
        echo "Error: the target file already exists!"
        exit
fi

#echo "mkvmerge $ALL -o ${DSTDIR}${COMBINED}"
mkvmerge $ALL -o ${DSTDIR}${COMBINED}
touch ${DSTDIR}${COMBINED} -r ${FIRST}

Encode videos into matroska container, with Ogg Vorbis audio and h.264 video (with x264 library). Needs media-video/ffmpeg, media-libs/libvorbis and media-libs/x264.

encode.sh:

#!/bin/bash

SRCDIR=/home/masa/Media/Fraps/Fraps/
DSTDIR=/home/masa/f/

SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

for i in $(ls ${SRCDIR}javaw*avi)

A script I used to symlink multishot screenshots into linearly increasingly named ones for ffmpeg encoding:

lnlinear.sh:

#!/bin/bash

#echo "?: $? #: $# 0: $0 1: $1 2: $2"
num=0

if [ $# -ne 1 ];
then
	exit 1
fi

for i in `ls $1`
do
	for j in `ls -tr ${1}/${i}`
	do
		num=`echo "${num} + 1" | bc`
		#echo "$j -> ${num}"
		#printf "$j -> shot_%06d.png\n" ${num}
		name=`printf "shot_%06d.png\n" ${num}`
		#echo $name
		#echo "ln -s /home/masa/ms/${i}/${j} /home/masa/ms_all/${name}"
		ln -s /home/masa/ms/${i}/${j} /home/masa/ms_all/${name}
	done

Filter out cron messages from /var/log/messages (using syslog-ng logger)

In /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf, add and change:

# Create a filter:
filter f_croninfo { level(info) and not facility(cron); };
# for example before the line:
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

# Add the following and comment the original line
log { source(src); filter(f_croninfo); destination(messages); };
#log { source(src); destination(messages); };
