Subversion (svn) 1.8 on Debian 7 wheezy

Posted on by mario

Just installed a brand new debian and than I can’t use my working copies cause the svn version is still 1.6.x
So an upgraded is required!

 

wget http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O /tmp/wd-deb.gpg
apt-key add /tmp/wd-deb.gpg
rm /tmp/wd-deb.gpg
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/debian wheezy svn18

So now I can have fun again! Why not git? Cause the company repos are still in svn and I had some troubles with git-svn.

farbige man pages

Posted on by mario

Man pages sind nicht immer sehr übersichtlich. Die man pages etwas einzufärben hilft!

ans Ende der .bashrc

export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'

schon sind die man pages in Farbe.

Upgrading OpenSSL on Debian 6 (squeeze) or Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)

Posted on by mario

The Problem on the long term ubuntu 8.04 and the current stable debian is that they ship the old OpenSSL 0.9.8o With that I wasn’t able to compile the new apache 2.4.1 with all the SSL features I want. Downloading the OpenSSL source and just configure make make install didn’t help at all.

checking whether to enable mod_ssl... checking dependencies 
 checking for OpenSSL... checking for user-provided OpenSSL base directory... none 
 checking for OpenSSL version >= 0.9.7... FAILED 
 configure: WARNING: OpenSSL version is too old 
 no 
 checking whether to enable mod_ssl... configure: error: mod_ssl has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures 
 mario@h2020668:~/apache24/httpd-2.4.1$ openssl version 
 OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

The only thing that helped was to use the unix config script plus the right prefix plus the shared option

wget http://openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1.tar.gz 
 tar xfz openssl-1.0.1.tar.gz 
 cd openssl-* 
 ./config --prefix=/usr zlib-dynamic --openssldir=/etc/ssl shared 
 make 
 sudo make install

 

Debian is very fine, but sometimes it sucks because of the lag of new software versions

vserver ubuntu IPv6 network

Posted on by mario

Since some days there is IPv6 available for my server. But I noticed it just today. Editing /etc/network/interfaces and adding a new virtual interface didn’t work at all. The /etc/init.d/networking restart just showed errors. And ifconfig venet0 wasn’t satisfying.

What works is /etc/network/interfaces just adding the loopbback

iface lo inet6 loopback
        adress ::1
        netmask 128
        gateway fe80::1

Now the trick is to add /etc/rc.local and add this before exit 0

ip addr add 2a01:238:40ab:cd12:dead:beef:dead:beef/128 dev venet0
ip route add default via fe80::1 dev venet0

Than execute /etc/rc.local
Wonder o wonder. Ifconfig works and also ping6 ipv6.example.com

Than I had to add the new ipv6 adress to my apache config

Listen [2a01:238:40ab:cd12:dead:beef:dead:beef]:80

Don’t forget a to create a symlink from rc.local to /etc/rc2.d/S21rc2.local

Install Tweetdeck on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit

Posted on by mario

The worse thing about this is that there is only a 32 bit version of adobe air which is needed to run tweetdeck.

sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
sudo getlibs -l libnss3.so.1d libnssutil3.so.1d libsmime3.so.1d libssl3.so.1d libnspr4.so.0d libplc4.so.0d \
libplds4.so.0d libgnome-keyring.so libgnome-keyring.so.0 libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1
sudo ldconfig

Download the AdobeAIRInstaller.bin from http://get.adobe.com/de/air/otherversions/

chmod +x ~/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo ~/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Keept the /opt folder

goto http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/
