Iphone music in your Linux

2010-01-21T08:04:00.000-08:00

With ifuse project we can mount our ipod touch or iphone in our Linux desktop... and now, we can use Rhytmbox to listen all our music with Linux and transfer music to our devices without iTunes.

I used this tutorial:

And works perfect, now I'm listening my iphone music in my Ubuntu desktop. I've tested it with an ipod touch 2G and an iphone 3g.

Blackra1n push fix only to solve youtube problem

2010-01-10T12:05:00.000-08:00

I have an iphone 3g with blackra1n and I have the "common" problem with no-gps, no-wifi, no-push and no-youtube. But really, if I do the Blackra1n without the SIM inserted and then to do the snow I insert the SIM I only have this problem with youtube, the other things works correctly, gps, wifi or push. And then, If I go to install the PushFix patch from Cydia then youtube works correctly but then I don´t have push notifications working. This patch is broking my push notifications.

Then I downloaded the patch (a .deb file) and converted to tgz in a Debian Linux with alien tool to convert packages. Uncompressed the .tgz and copied 3 files, inject and youtube-cert.bin and youtube-key.bin to my iphone with ssh to folder /var/Keychans. And finally, executed file inject with ./inject. Rebooted my iphone and voila, youtube works correctly and I have push notifications working.

You can download a zip file with 3 files here. Uncompress and copy files to your iphone with ssh to /var/Keychans folder, exec ./inject and reboot your Iphone. This patch is only if your only issue is with youtube, if you have problems with push, wifi or gps use the Cydia PushFix patch.

Ubuntu server with x-window

2009-11-26T01:52:00.001-08:00

How to install a simply x-window system to our Ubuntu server?

Is easy...

sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-core

This installs a basic gnome with nautilus and basical gnome tools.

Then, you also can install gdm if you like graphical login or firefox if you need a browser (or epiphany or other), gnome-terminal or other tools (gnome-sshman is a good ssh client).

Squid with ncsa_auth authentification

2007-06-14T07:03:00.000-07:00

To use Squid with authentication, we need:

A user and their password. We can create it with:

htpasswd -c /etc/squid/users user

and type the password. To add a new user, we must use:

htpasswd /etc/squid/users newuser

Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf and add:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd

And finally, in the same file (/etc/squid/squid.conf), in ACLs section, create a proxy_auth acl:

acl authenticated_users proxy_auth REQUIRED

And the http_access rule to this acl:

http_access allow authenticated_users

Finally, restart Squid and voilá, when you are going to enter the web your browser asks you about a user and password.

Search spam in imap folders

2007-06-14T01:57:00.001-07:00

I've made an script to search a folder called Spam and learn all emails as spam mails or if the folder is called Ham, then all emails are learned as not-spam.

This two scripts, called search-ham and search-spam are made to work with Vpopmail, Courier-Imap and Spamassassin. To use it, you only need to edit the script amb modify the variables "dominio" to configure the vpopmail domain to search in, "spamdir" to configure the name of the folder where the users are storing the spam or not-spam emails and "ruta", the folder where the vpopmail domain is. And then, you only needs to execute the script or configure a crontab to run periodically.

The script called search-ham is for email classified as not spam and search-spam for email classified as spam. The scripts uses the command sa-learn from Spamassassin to learn spam o ham emails.

The scripts are made with Python. Download here.

Gnirfleo fake

2007-03-28T02:17:00.000-07:00

Gnirfleo is a project to make a homebrew web browser to Nintendo DS. The release day was fixed by Gnirfleo (the programmer) to 24 of March (at the present year, supose:) ) but Gnirfleo announced that he hasn't time to upload it and another "doubtable excuses". Is this another fake? Is he making time to 1st April?

I supose that Gnirfleo will announce the fake the 1st of April... another time. This isn't the first time that a fake is published to the Nintendo DS scene, is sad but real. We'll wait to April.

Encode an entire folder to utf-8 with iconv

2007-03-09T04:34:00.000-08:00

I've made a python script to encode a folder with text files from iso-8859-1 to utf-8. It can be used with other code types changing -f iso-8859-15 to -f your_original_code and -t utf-8 to -t code_to_export in the last line starting with "os.system...".

The script is here. Is very useful to change all my .txt ebooks that are originally in iso-8859 to utf-8 (that is needed by moonshell multimedia tool, to read ebooks in my Nintendo DS). To use only execute the script in the folder. Is not recursive, only changes the .txt that are in the folder.

Conexiones vpn con PPTP bajo Linux

2007-03-05T02:52:00.000-08:00

Hace bastante hice un documento para crear y configurar conexiones vpn bajo Linux con pptp. Es un sistema de vpns bastante sencillo pero muy utilizado por clientes Windows, por lo que suele usarse bastante. Subo el documento para que todo el mundo pueda acceder a el. Y como ya lo he perdido y vuelto a encontrar cinco o seis veces, de paso, espero que quede aqui "fijado" definitivamente. El documento esta en español.

Ssh with Blackberry

2007-03-03T08:25:00.000-08:00

My boss recently give me a Blackberry 8700g, connected to the "world" with vodafone BES connection. It's a great device, you can surf the web with Blackberry Browser, read and send email with integrated Blackberry email client, etc.

I installed Gmail and Google talk for mobile devices, Gmail is better than Blackberry email to read email and well, Blackberry messenger is only for other Blackberrys and I want to talk with other people with gmail accounts. All Google apps can work with BES connection (and BIS), included Google Maps for mobile devices. But other applications only works if you have tcp/ip connection (configuring APN).

And if you need a "little terminal" to enter to your linux servers and see if all is ok, you can install a ssh client in your Blackberry. You can try two ssh applications, Idokorro ssh and Midpssh.

Idokorro ssh is commercial (you can purchase a 100$ license) but you can use the one month trial version. Is easy and fast to use, you can save usernames and passwords and all servers data that you need to enter very fast in all ssh servers. The better is that Idokorro ssh works with BES connections (and tcp/ip of course) and it works for me. But is commercial:(

Midpssh is a ssh application for mobile devices and have a Blackberry compiled version. Is free and similar to Idokorro ssh, but you can type directly to the "linux screen" or use an entry form to type your commands and then press enter to send it (Idokorro ssh only uses this last form to send commands to the ssh terminal). I prefer midpssh, is free and more elegant to use, but not works with BES connections (with my BES vodafone connection don't work) and only with tcp/ip.

And that's all, there are the only two ssh applications for Blackberry that I have found. The two are good applications and I recommend to prove them:)
