"Knock, knock, Neo." The Coolest App I ever wrote!

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:54:00 +0000

I may keep coming back and updating the script with more features. So, make sure you come back and check it out

Watch the demo video, run the script. Because, I really can't find the right words to describe this. Remember, when Neo (The Matrix) was sleeping on his desk while his system was displaying all kind of search results, and all the suddan, he start receiving the coolest mysterious messages ever. Well, this script is close to that. It is fully automated once you run it. It will display all type of information

It's bash script, so just copy it, and make it executable to run it
To make the script executable after saving it:
chmod +x THE_SCRIPT_NAME

This is so cool I can't even come up with a name for it. So, name it what you want. I my gift to you. Instead of installing some other app that just output some unreadable stuff, use my script.

Stay updated like Neo
To look cool like a hacker, you could run it on one the cli tty:
Ctrl+Alt+tty1 or Ctrl+Atl+tt2
Or you can run it on one of your work space by itself. Have the terminal in fullscreen, your cli font set to Courier 10 Pitch Bold, with dark background and Matrix like green foreground (text). And let it do its Matrix thing without touching it.
Let your friends and strangers be amaze.

Replace "atlanta" in the script with your own zip code. You'll need acpi, elinks installed. Use it with tmux, to look like a real l33t
sudo apt-get install acpi elinks tmux

If you modify it, and make it do even more cool stuff, please let me know. The possibilities are endless. You can even have the script open your browser, do a search and then close. How cool is that. Enough talk, here it is:

My new 3D Holographic desktop

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 01:21:00 +0000

How cool is that? I am waiting to see how long this awesome Futuristic 3D Desktop is going to stay unnoticed. Apparently, to be notice on YouTube for making Linux related videos, you have to start with making Distro (OS) reviews. Which is something I don't ever plan on doing. There are to many people already doing a good job at it.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who decided to get rid of gnome 2 (*hint Ubuntu Unity team, and Gnome 3 team). If it wasn't for you guys decisions, I would not be designing my own personal awesome 3D Desktop Environment now.
While static and flat, Gnome 2 was awesome when well customized. Thanks, I bet you guys going to get rid of Compiz and CompizConfingSetting manager next.

CFD (Cool Futuristic Desktop) Limited Edition

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:33:00 +0000

This is my "Limited Edition) CFD

I watch a lot of anime. And some of my favorites are: Eve no Jikan, Ghost In The Shell, Denno Coil, Pale Cocoon, Vexille, Appleseed, Noein, Animetrix. They inspired me.

My advice, if you are into designing cool sci-fi futuristic GUI, watch more sci-fi anime. It doesn't matter how old you are. Anime are not made just for children. For example, regular children would not get "Noein: To Your Other Self", it's based on quantum physics.

Spread the word.

Network Manager not running error on Ubuntu 12.04 (FIXED)

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:21:00 +0000

I upgraded my Linux system (Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS) a few minutes ago. And, my network manager haven't work since. So , if you happen to experience the same error with your network manager, try the following command.

Open your terminal, type:
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start

Enter your password at the prompt, and press Enter. That's it. Your Network Manager will start running, and you will have your internet connection back.

This is not a permanent fix. You may required to do this every time you boot the system.

WPA2 Wireless Internet connection without wicd, wifi Radar and Network Manager

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:37:00 +0000

How to connect to your secure WIFI connection without installing, using Network Manager, wicd or any other heavy graphical applications.

This post is intended for people who want a lightweight GNU Linux system and a WPA2 encrypted wireless Internet connection. Plus, make sure you have installed the wireless card driver necessary for your computer, do some reading on the topic, and back up your data.

Let's get started:

You can find and install the necessary drivers by installing and use jockey:
sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk jockey-common
Install wpasupplicant, and wireless-tools.

sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wireless-tools

Next create a file:
sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Add copy and paste into the file (do not remove the quote in the code):



ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant



network={

ssid="YOUR SSID"

psk="YOUR PASSWORD"

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

proto=RSN WPA

pairwise=CCMP TKIP

}

Now create a bash script
gedit ./wifi
copy and paste inside it:



#!/bin/bash

pkill wpa_supplicant

ifconfig wlan0 up

iwconfig wlan0 essid YOUR-ESSID-NAME-HERE

wpa_supplicant -B Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

dhclient wlan0

Make the batch ./wifi executable:
chmod +x ./wifi

into your menu, and start up file, add gksudo ./wifi &

Add now, when X server start up, you will be prompt to enter your password to connect to the Internet.

Advices:
*Make the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf impossible to read by other users for security reason. Open terminal and enter those commands:

sudo chmod 0600 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
*Use wpa_passphrase and (>>) to add other network to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
*Disable or uninstall Network Manager (nm-applet), wicd, wifi radar...

Extract compressed files the easy way (.tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .zip, 7z, .exe, ...)

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 21:19:00 +0000

Add that to your ~/.bashrc (which should be in your home directory).
Now to extract a file on your terminal just add the word extract in front of the compressed file location. It will extract the compressed file as long as you had the libraries install
Usage example:
extract ~/firefox-8.0.1.tar.bz2

Here is the script to Copy and paste:



extract () {

if [ -f $1 ] ; then

case $1 in

*.tar.bz2)   tar xvjf $1    ;;

*.tar.gz)    tar xvzf $1    ;;

*.tar.xz)    tar xvJf $1    ;;

*.bz2)       bunzip2 $1     ;;

*.rar)       unrar x $1     ;;

*.gz)        gunzip $1      ;;

*.tar)       tar xvf $1     ;;

*.tbz2)      tar xvjf $1    ;;

*.tgz)       tar xvzf $1    ;;

*.zip)       unzip $1       ;;

*.Z)         uncompress $1  ;;

*.7z)        7z x $1        ;;

*.xz)        unxz $1        ;;

*.exe)       cabextract $1  ;;

*)           echo "\`$1': unrecognized file compression" ;;

esac

else

echo "\`$1' is not a valid file"

fi

Gnome Terminal as a Lightweight Desktop Environment

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:43:00 +0000

Use gnome-terminal as a powerful lightweight desktop environment and graphical user interface that runs on top of a computer Gnu/Linux operating system X server. Basically, will turn the gnome-terminal into a desktop.
There is a saying. If you master the command line interface, you'll master the entire system.

1- Add gnome-terminal in the Login manager list

Open the terminal, and enter (enter your password when prompt to):
sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-terminalOS.desktop

Once gedit is open add, save and close:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Chrome OS
Comment=
Exec=~/master-command
Type=Application

2- Edit your ~/.bashrc file:
copy and past the following in your ./.bashr

echo -e ;links2 -dump "http://www.google.com/search?q=weather+atlanta&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a" | grep -A 5 -m 1 "Weather for"

echo -e ;cal -3

echo -n '┌─=[' $(whoami) ']=─┐' '┌─=[' $(who -q) ']=─┐' '┌─=[' $(df -h | grep /dev/sda1 | awk '{print $3}') ']=─┐' '┌─=[' $(acpi) ']=─┐' '┌─=[' $(acpi -t -f) ']=─┐'

3- Make the bash script call ~/master-command

In the terminal, enter
gedit ~/master-command

Once gedit is open add, save and close:


#!/usr/bin/env bash

xsetroot -solid "#000000" &

gnome-terminal --geometry 117x34+49+69 --hide-menubar --tab --title=System -e htop --tab --title=web -e elinks --tab --title=Network Monitor -e 'netstat -tcp' --tab --title=Mixer -e 'alsamixer -g' --tab --title=Calendar --active &

gnome-terminal --window  --title=+Status+Main-Menu --hide-menubar --geometry 122x2+22-5  &

xclock -digital -update 1 -bg "#000000" -fg "#00ffff" -fn -*-*-bold-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -padding 6  -geometry 285x25-13+16 &

exec metacity

In the terminal, enter:
chmod +x ~/master-command

Qick tips:

+ Change the gnome-terminal color and the color values in ~/master-command to match your metacity theme.

+ Make adjustment to each window size according to your display, use xwininfo to get the proper -geometry values in ~/master-command

+ Install liknks2 if you want the weather to display on your terminal. And replace weather+atlanta with weather+YOUR ZIP CODE

+ Run graphical apps (GTK+) with the & (this will free the terminal you using as a launcher for other commands). for example, to run chromium-browser, just enter:
chromium-browser &

+ Do a search for CLI apps. There are lots of awesome apps and commands you can use in the terminal.

+ here are what you need to install if you are doing this from scratch: A Linux operating System, gnome-terminal, X server, a login manager, metacity.

An awesome lightweight menu for your Linux system: 9menu

contactnecopost@gmail.com (Salem R.) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 04:53:00 +0000

Here is an awesome lightweight menu that should work in any Linux Desktop. It's called 9menu. I tried a lot of lightweight menus, launchers, and 9menu has to be one of favorite. Why you ask? 9menu doesn't use a
lots of dependencies. And it give complete control on how it looks and its contents. Well, the screenshot pretty much speak for it self. Will upload a video on my YouTube channel soon. Like always, Installing it is very easy.
sudo apt-get install 9menu

You can run it using a key binding or button binding. Use Commands in Compiz for that, because it's easier. You can change the color for background and the font, change the type and size too. Use the xfontsel -print command in your terminal to look for different fonts.

Enter the following commands for you bindings:

9menu -popup -bg "#f1f1f1" -fg "#000000" -font "-*-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -teleport -file ./.9menurc

Once it is installed, create a executable file .9menurc on your home folder.
gedit ~/.9menurc
make sure you made it executable by doing:
chmod +x ~/.9menurc

Here is a copy of my .9menurc (copy and edit it to your liking). But, it would be cool if you link back to us.

You can have a full featured lightweight Linux Desktop by using Compiz as your Window Manager. With you also enjoy all the features that Gnome 2 has to offer, but don't want a load of unnecessary apps burning your memory and cpu, just install gnome-panel. That's it.

applications like Conky will not display correctly, plus you wont be able to
have access to all the eye candy features.

1- Open the terminal, enter (enter your password when prompt to):

sudo gedit /etc/share/xsessions/compizOS.desktop

2- Once gedit is open, enter, save and close:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Compiz OS
Comment=
Exec=/usr/bin/compizOS-session
Type=Application

3- In the terminal, enter (enter your password when prompt to): sudo gedit /usr/bin/compizOS-session

Once gedit is open, enter, save and close:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
gnome-session
gnome-power-manager
gnome-panel
exec compiz

5- make /usr/bin/compizOS-session executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compizOS-session

And here is a bonus:
You can save on your memory and cpu usage by using wpasupplicant by it self to connect to your wifi internet connection. No need for Network-Manager and nm-applet.

lightweight Key Binding app

Keylaunch

Keylaunch is a lightweight key binding app. It is useful if keys like your media player keys are not working, or use it for quick application launcher . It was difficult for me to find an how to for it. So, I will share with you what learned.

Installing keylaunch should be easy because it is already included in your repository. Install it like you install any other Linux apps from your repository. You use the terminal :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install keylaunch

Now add keylaunch in your auto start app list like in ./.xinitrc or ./.xsession or use your start up application.

Now here is how to use it. Create a file on your home directory like this:
gedit ./.keylaunchrc

Copy and past the following script:



#!/bin/sh -f

# Copy to $HOME/.keylaunchrc

#

# Format:

# key=...KeyName:Command

#

#  KeyName is the name of the key you want to use. Find the KeyName using xev  via your terminal

# Try your commands in the terminal first to see if they works

#

# ... No modifier

# *.. Shift

# .*. Ctrl

# ..* Alt

#

# Included my own key binding as examples 



key=.*.2:conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc-tronn





key=.*.Delete:amixer set Master toggle

key=.*.Insert:amixer set Master 10dB+

key=.*.End:amixer set Master 5dB-

key=.*.Menu:pcmanfm
