How To Reset EPSON l350 Ink Level

noreply@blogger.com (superuser) — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 05:07:00 +0000

For some non geeks it is hard to find the exact way to reset the printer and we find a tool to reset but when this window pop out

If you click on the how to button you will be asked to refill the ink and somehow even if you refill the ink the red LED always blink and of course you can't print any files.

And the solution is simpler than i thought, it's not rocket science.

Just push the triangle button ONCE, and it will solve the problem without any tools/software needed.

Vote for New Kodi Logo

noreply@blogger.com (superuser) — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 03:55:00 +0000

As many of you know, the pathway to the new name is only partially complete. Beyond the various legal steps still needed to be taken, we need to finally take a step forward in the design of the new logo. The logo that’s been posted on the alpha release threads has been an acceptable place holder, but now is the time to get serious about selecting something more lasting.

We need to choose the logo.

We’ve received numerous designs of all varieties in our logo suggestion thread. So many, in fact, that there are actually more submitted logos than currently active team members. Having an internal vote on which logos we like most is virtually impossible.

So instead, we’d like to continue pulling in help from the community. To start, we narrowed down some of the selections just a bit, so that logos that appeared to repeat themselves were eliminated. This still left 58 logos to consider. We then created a poll that allows anyone, users, developers, various grandmas and others to view the many different versions of the Kodi logo and actually vote for their favorite.

The Rules of the Kodi Logo Vote

First, please only vote once.

Second, this is ranked voting. That means you can say which logo is your favorite, which is your second favorite, and so on down the line. Often, those later votes can really matter in ranked voting. If you like, you can just rank a single logo as first and leave all the rest ranked 58th. Or you can rank a top 10 and ignore the rest. Or you can rank all 58 logos. The decision is entirely yours. You can even rank all of your top ten as 1 and the next ten as 2 and so on.

Third, many logos have added colors, backgrounds, or even additional words like “entertainment center.” When you are deciding, please mostly vote on the design of the wordmark Kodi and any attached icon design.

Fourth, the Foundation is obliged to make the final decision, but we will almost certainly pick from the top three or four, and unless there are serious legal or other objections, we will do our best to stick with the logo that the community prefers the most. Either way, the top few logos will all be sent to doghousemedia, where we will work with their design team to finalize the best logo we possibly can.

Fifth, and finally, before you begin voting, please look through all 58 logos. Our voting software randomizes the list for every new user so we can avoid people just voting on the first five they see, but this is a very serious decision with repercussions that could last years into the future. We want everyone in the community to be involved, but we also want everyone to take this vote as seriously as we do.

And that’s it. Here’s the link to the vote. Voting ends Friday, the 17th of October. We’ll see you on the other side.

DevCon

On a related note, we’re excited to announce that Kodi DevCon this year will begin this Friday the 10th of October and run through Sunday the 12th. Again, we’ll try to keep a liveblog running throughout to keep people up to date on various presentations and discussions. This year we plan on breaking out into smaller groups in the second and third day actively work on some things that benefit from real face time. We will also try to live blog as much of these break out sessions, but we may have less success at that point.

So, let's vote for our favorite media center apps.

Netflix on XBMC

noreply@blogger.com (superuser) — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:24:00 +0000

Step One: Install Chrome Launcher and NetfliXBMC

You'll need two add-ons to get this working, and you won't find them in the default XBMC repository. So, to install them:

Download AddonScriptorDE's testing repository here. Save it to your Downloads folder (or wherever else you want).
Open XBMC and head to Settings > Add-Ons > Install from ZIP file. Choose the ZIP file you just downloaded and it should install the repository.
Head to Get Add-Ons and choose AddonScriptorDE's Testing Repo. If there isn't anything in it, head back to the Get Add-Ons Menu, press the "c" key to bring up the context menu, and choose "Force Refresh." If you head back to AddonScriptorDE's Testing Repo, you should see a list of categories.
Head to Program Add-Ons and select "Chrome Launcher." Press Enter and install the add-on.
Once Chrome Launcher is installed, head back to the category list and go to Video Add-Ons. Choose NetfliXBMC and install it.

Now, you should have all the necessary add-ons installed and you can continue to the next step.

Step Two: Configure NetfliXBMC

Next, you'll need to set up NetfliXBMC to work with your Netflix account and other preferences. Head to Videos > Video Add-Ons in XBMC, highlight NetfliXBMC, and press the "c" key to bring up the context menu. Choose "Add-On Settings" to get started. Here are some things you may want to tweak:

Account > Email and Password: Enter your Netflix credentials here.
Account > Single-User Account: If you have multiple profiles on your Netflix account, you'll want to de-select this (otherwise your browser will ask you every time, which isn't easily controllable with the remote). If you have multiple users using Netflix on the same XBMC machine, select the "Show Profile Selection on Each Start" option, which will ask you which user is watching every time you use the add-on.
Advanced > Delete Cache/Delete Cookies: Try these buttons if you experience problems logging in.
Advanced > Win Browser/OS X Browser: If you're using Internet Explorer or Safari instead of Chrome, you'll want to select your browser here.

Once you've gotten this set up, head into NetfliXBMC and try playing a movie or TV episode. If you experience problems, try fiddling with the settings to get it working, or check out the troubleshooting section at the bottom of this post.

If you can get a video to play, it's time for the last step: setting up your remote.

Step Three: Configure Your Remote (Optional)

If you control your home theater PC with a remote (rather than a mouse and keyboard), you'll need to configure NetfliXBMC for your remote as well.

NetfliXBMC is still in the very early stages, but in our tests, it worked quite well. However, depending on your setup, you may or may not experience any issues. Make sure you've read this entire guide word-for-word, as well as the NetfliXBMC forum post. If you still have questions, that thread is the best place to ask them, especially if it's the result of a bug that the developer needs to fix. He's extremely responsive, so don't be afraid to let him know if you're having trouble! Best luck!

Vine for Android Gets Advance Features Update

noreply@blogger.com (superuser) — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 14:42:00 +0000

After launching an improved camera experience and advanced enhancing instruments for its iOS app, Vine is giving its Android version the identical treatment.

The biggest addition by far is the choice to import videos. Similar to Instagram, this means users can shoot and edit movies with other, perhaps more sophisticated apps before bringing them in for the final upload. From the digicam display screen, simply press the upward arrow icon within the backside left-hand corner.

Clips can be previewed in Vine’s square-crop format and trimmed to six seconds or less. If you still have time remaining, you can import additional videos and Vine will stitch them to the end of your loop automatically.

Similar to the iOS app, there’s also a shortcut (the arrow icon with a cross in the middle) that lets you preview and delete the last shot. Particularly useful if you need to reshoot something, but don’t want to delete your entire Vine.

Long-time Vine users should appreciate the improved capture tools too. A wrench icon visible on the camera screen hides a bunch of advanced features: Today’s new addition is a “torch” mode that switches the flash on. iOS users were also given a new grid level and the option to focus lock with the front-facing camera, but neither appear to be available in the Android app.

After tapping the arrow within the high right-hand corner, you’ll be given a last preview of your Vine. Earlier than hitting the large green “tick” icon though, you can now press edit and unlock some extra enhancing options. These embrace the power to duplicate and trim specific photographs in your loop.

10 Dazzling Facts about NFC

noreply@blogger.com (superuser) — Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:07:00 +0000

Google NFC and also you get greater than 42 million results. But how
much do you really find out about Near-Subject Communications?
Even though it’s getting a ton of protection, to many people it nonetheless
feels one thing of a mystery. That can assist you get a clearer image of
this magical expertise, we’ve unearthed some astonishing info
and stats.

1. The origins of NFC can be traced back to 1945 when Leon
Theremin invented a listening device called The Thing. The device
was used by the Soviet Union to spy on the American ambassador
in Moscow. Because it used passive techniques to transmit an
audio signal, it’s considered a predecessor to current RFID
technology, which in turn led to NFC

2. In 2004, Nokia along with Philips and Sony established the Near
Field Communication Forum. Its aim was to promote NFC
technology, while establishing standards that ensured any NFC
enabled mobile device could be used to make a credit card
payment. The Forum now has over 140 member companies.

3. As far back as 2005, Nokia launched the Nokia 3220 with an NFCmodified back cover. But it was only really in 2007 with the Nokia
6131 NFC, that the tech started to make waves.

4. Earlier this year, Juniper Research said 20 per cent of all
smartphones would be NFC-enabled by the year 2014. That works
out at a whopping 300 million.

5. Last month, Nokia launched the world’s first NFC enabled
speaker, The Nokia Play 360°. Simply tap your phone on the
speaker and it wirelessly streams music from your smartphone.

6. At the NFC hub it’s now even possible to order your own NFCtags, posters and business cards. You choose and create printed
products with attached/integrated NFC-tags and the NFC hub
supplies them to you ready made with all the relevant encoding
and printing. Just like that.

7. NFC can transfer data between totally different devices. For
example, NFC-equipped smartphones like the Nokia N9 can send
photos to NFC-equipped TV sets.

8. Since 2003, millions of Londoners have been using NFC Oyster
travel cards. Five million are touched against readers on the
Underground every single day. In fact, they’re so popular, they
even brought one out to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

9. In the future, the Nokia Research Centre predicts, physical walls
will be as interactive as their Facebook equivalents, thanks to highspeed NFC.

10. Between 2006 and 2008, Oulu in Finland became the world’s
most NFC tagged city with 1500 NFC info tags installed in everywhere from buses and bus stops to pubs, restaurants and
theatres. The project funded by the European ITEA research
program was called SmartTouch.

Hopefully this has given you a better perception into the magical world
of NFC. Know some other attention-grabbing information or stats that can dazzle
us? Then please do pull them out of your hat

Here is some spolier from XBMC Official Site

Since 2002, the software program often called XBMC has gone through three namings. First, it was known as Xbox Media Player. Upon realizing that it did a bit greater than your conventional media player, in 2004 the event group elected to rename it Xbox Media Center. A mere four years later in 2008, the staff once again elected to rename the software program to easily XBMC, provided that it had moved on from its original roots on the Xbox. Assist for the Xbox was dropped shortly thereafter.

The XBMC Team just announced the name changing to Our Favorite Media Center from XBMC into Kodi

Mediatek based Android Devices Haunted by SMS Exploit Hack

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 15:15:00 +0000

A new discovery by blogger Korben means that many MediaTek-primarily based Android phones are prone to the strangest of hacks. All it takes to remotely reboot some unlucky person's telephone is to textual content them the image '='. In MediaTek chipset language, this image apparently equals "shutdown and reboot". Korben demonstrated the vulnerability within the video below.

If you're unfortunate sufficient to get spammed with exploitative messages, you might have your telephone rendered unusable.

Some standard Alcatel handsets, such as the One Contact Idol X, Idol Extremely, 997D, Pop C3, S-Pop, and Star, have been confirmed as vulnerable.To find out whether or not your MediaTek-based phone gets lured by the trick, text your self '=' without the quotes. If you find yourself rebooting, fear not - simply change your default messaging app to one thing other than the default one.

Hopefully the flaw does not find yourself larger than what it at the moment is, otherwise hackers could have a area day with the majority of China phones.
Some Samsung S series copy or clone have been flawed by this bug.
For a while some users have reported that MIUI ROM have been patch this bug.

Humin : A Smart Way to Organize a Smartphone Contacts

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 16:23:00 +0000

We took an early sneak-peek at Humin, a better contacts app than default contact app for the iPhone, back in January. Lastly, it’s launched into the App Retailer within the US in the present day and it’s even higher than once we first tried it.

Humin works best when it’s placed in your dock in place of the default Phone app. It organizes your contacts in a smart way, replacing the normal alphabetized list with factors like your location and the day and time. Over time, the app learns which people are most relevant in a particular context and displays them first.

The search facility is just as impressive. It’s based on a ‘connection graph’ built up of data from Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn and other sources. Our brains don’t organize the people we know in order of their surnames, but by arbitrary connections like ‘We met at a party in Paris’, ‘She works at IBM’, or ‘He lives in New York City’. Humin gets its name from a ‘human’ approach to search. When I enter ‘Works at The Next Web’, I get a list of all my colleagues. If I search for ‘lives in San Francisco’, I get a list of everyone in my contacts list from that city.

In the months since we first checked Humin out, the San Francisco-based team has been busy refining the product and now many people will be able to discard their default Phone app completely. The startup has arrangements with all major US carriers so that your missed calls and voicemail can be routed to Humin.

The app works well overall, aside from the odd minor bug here and there (the app insists that the company ‘The Next Web’ is called ‘Next Web’, for example, and former employees can show up in a company search, even if their data shows they’ve moved on).

Beyond these niggles that can be ironed out by the developers over time, the quality of the experience is only as good as the quality of the contacts data on your smartphone. To that end, there’s a feature that allows users to request updated contact details from people they know.

During the app’s beta period, it would mass-mail all contacts to request updated data, without it really being clear to the user that this is what would happen. Humin briefly developed a reputation as a spammy app among some early adopters, although CEO Ankur Jain says that the company learned from this experience. Now, requests are more granular, with users being able to select exactly who they want the app to contact. I can’t help thinking that FullContact’s API would be worth the company exploring for a smoother experience, though.

Jain sees Humin as a company built around “tech that thinks about people the way you do.” He describes the core technology underpinning the app as “like PageRank for contacts.” How this could be used beyond smartphones is intriguing. Jain mentions wearable devices and cars as markets the company is exploring, although I’m sure the enterprise market could find uses related to CRM too.

Humin is currently available in the US only but will open up to new markets over time, with a UK launch coming soon.

➤ Humin.

Update: After this article being published, some users from the beta program told us that Humin is still sending contact update requests out in their name despite them having deleted the app. We have contacted the company for clarification about the issue. Humin reiterated that the verification flow has been changed to stop bulk requests for contact details, adding that an option to cancel verification has been added in-app, and any users affected by such an issue can contact the company to have all requests switched off.

Here is Mr. Wedha's art from the beginning

And the top image is my first Potrait of Kim Jong Un, which is not completed yet.

By the way I only use Inkscape, which is free to use and quite light for low speed CPU like mine with 1.0 GHz

How to Check CPU Usagein Linux OSs

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:32:00 +0000

It’s somewhat trivial job to get details about how much of CPU time is consumed by Linux OSs, its parts or numerous software it runs, but fortunately there are numerous utilities making it doable to get it. A few of them are included into sure Linux distribution, other are not however most of tools listed below can be used to find out CPU utilization stats:

1. top

top is very old and important core utility coming with almost any Linux and Unix operating systems. It shows real-time system resources utilization (CPU, RAM, swap file etc.) to administrators via console, here is the part of it’s output:

top - 16:05:38 up 3 days,  6:08,  2 users,  load average: 0.54, 0.54, 0.61
Tasks: 100 total,   2 running,  98 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  5.3%us,  1.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 93.7%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:    515984k total,   497928k used,    18056k free,    13988k buffers
Swap:  1502068k total,    92956k used,  1409112k free,   129096k cached

As this tool provides a lot of useful information, it makes sense to read its manual page: type man top.

2. atsar

sar, atsar are other old tools providing system activity reports including CPU load we need. Here is an example of sar’s usage:

viper@viper-desktop:~$ sar -u 2 5

Linux  viper-desktop  2.6.20-17-generic  #2 SMP Mon Jun 9 22:08:13 UTC 2008  i686  07/04/2008
16:13:58  cpu %usr %nice   %sys %irq %softirq    %wait %idle             _cpu_
16:14:00  all    3     0      0    0        0        1    97
16:14:02  all    0     0      0    0        0        0    99
16:14:04  all    0     0      0    0        0        0   100
16:14:06  all   23     0      0    0        0        0    76
16:14:08  all    0     0      0    0        0        0   100

As you might see CPU utilization was almost 0% for two seconds after the command was executed. BTW, here is the description of the options sar was started with:

-u showed statistics about CPU utilization (average and per cpu) with 5 intervals of 2 seconds.

3. ps

ps is one the most used core utilities every Linux or Unix administrator uses as this utility with short name shows processes run in the system. If you need to get information about how much CPU or RAM resources are consumed by certain process, just run this:

viper@viper-desktop:~$ ps u 23988
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
viper 23988 0.0 0.6 5760 3280 pts/0 Ss 15:54 0:00 bash

where 23988 is PID of the process (can be get from the output of ps ax).

And be sure look the manual of those commands for ore details.

When user launches the KeePassX password manager first it requires to set up of a master password to add an extra layer of security to password storage. As an option you can use a file with encryption key instead of the password. This key file can be used along with the master password to provide stronger security. KeePassX application is rather simple so you can easily create one or more databases which will have a master password and will contain all the login credentials stored encrypted. This manager is considered to be one of the most secure managers. If you’re Ubuntu user just type in terminal the following command:

sudo apt-get install keepassx

GPassword Manager

Gpassword Manager (GPM) is also one of the most secure and highly rated password managers which have more friendly and easy to use interface that KeePassX. This utility has many features that make it to be a good choice for most of the high level computer users. This password manager allows to set and add favorites into system-tray that is one of the unique features of this application. GPM utility uses the crypto++ method for encryption which can be used in Windows and Linux hence it enables the same database to be used on different platforms without the need to convert anything.

My Passwords

My Passwords is a simple and easy to use utility that allows you to store all your login credentials in an encrypted manner within a file. The most exciting feature of this utility are its speed and no requirement of an installation. Encryption algorithm that is used there is AES. Storage in Derby Database format along with AES encryption gives the user the power to create secure and fast password repository. The interface for this utility is fairly simple.

Fiagaro’s Password Manager 2

Fiagaro’s Password Manager 2 is another powerful tool with strong encryption methods that makes it one of the most secure utility for managing passwords in Linux. Fiagaro’s Password Manager 2 uses the AES-256 encryption of the database files which hold all your login credentials (it uses master password that should be set up once you started the program first).

Gringotts

Gringotts is rather old project: its application for Linux/Unix provides the user the possibility to store his or her notes in secure storage encrypted by symmetrical ciphers. Gringotts has a set of eight different algorithms that can be used to encrypt the desired data. This utility also provides different methods for hashing as well as compression. The interface of Gringotts is not as simple as of other password Managers but still easy to use and most effective for old school bearded Unix users.

Limit your Linux's CPU Process

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:45:00 +0000

I found cpulimit is pretty useful for the scripts running from cron, for example I can do overnight backups and be sure that compression of 50GB file via rar won’t ate all CPU resources and all other system processes will have enough CPU time.

In most of Linux distributions cpulimit is available from binary repositories so you can install it using commands:

sudo apt-get install cpulimit

sudo yum install cpulimit

If it’s not possible in your distro then it’s extremely easy to compile it:

cd /usr/src/
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit/tarball/master -O cpulimit.tar
tar -xvf cpulimit.tar
cd opsengine-cpulimit-9df7758
make
ln -s cpulimit /usr/sbin/cpulimit

From that moment you can run commands limited by CPU percentage, e.g. below command executes gzip compression so that gzip process will never step over 10% of CPU limit:

/usr/sbin/cpulimit --limit=10 /bin/rar archive.rar

You can check actual CPU usage by gzip using commands:

ps axu | grep rar

top

Btw, the first command contains ‘grep [g]zip’ to avoid the last line in common output:

root    896448  10.0  3.1 159524  3528 ?        S    13:12   0:00 /usr/sbin/cpulimit --limit=10 /bin/gzip vzdump-openvz-102-2012_06_26-19_01_11.tar
root       26490  0.0  0.0   6364   708 pts/0    S+   15:24   0:00 grep rar

Using cpulimit you can also allocate CPU limit to already running processes, e.g. below command will allocate 20% CPU limit to process with PID 2342:

/usr/sbin/cpulimit -p 2342 -l 20

It’s possible to specify process by its executable file instead of PID:

/usr/sbin/cpulimit -P /usr/sbin/cups -l 30

WildGuppy 1.0 Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 26 Jan 2014 07:37:00 +0000

A small apps created by Billy Boar that can be downloaded from http://www.thecutestgeek.com/wildguppy

Adjusting your laptop brightness automatically by using the webcam as light sensor but actually it takes a sample picture and scan the light ambience

The feature is not bad for an initial build, but the bug make the feature not working, such as in dark room, so i'll have to adjust the brightness manually

Run following commands in your terminal to install wildguppy

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fantasyleague0629/wildguppy

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wildguppy

Some dependencies:
- xbacklight ( sudo apt-get install xbacklight )
- fswebcam ( sudo apt-get install fswebcam )

Now enjoy you Linux like a boss

Trying the new cloud JoliOS

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 10:02:00 +0000

My First impression is the cloud concept since we are in Cloud Computing Era
So I am looking for an Open Source Operating System to Use, to learn about Cloud Computing

First try
1. Making an USB key using Linux Mint Olivia with jolicloud-usb-creator-1.2.0.sh but not working due to xdg-su is not included (i had no idea why this happen to Linux Mint)
2.Using linux-image-writer.py , make sure you placed it with Joli ISO

3. SQUASHFS can't be read in Live USB mode (probably ISO corruption)
