Android and Media Goblin

noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:04:00 +0000

Some assumptions of this guide

you have eclipse and all the android stuff installed and working
you have a working media goblin instance
you know how to work eclipse and android sdk

1st thing is to enable the correct things in Media Goblin, edit your media ini file, mine is found /srv/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/mediagobin_local.ini

# place plugins here---each in their own subsection of [plugins]. see
# documentation for details.
[plugins]
[[mediagoblin.plugins.geolocation]]
[[mediagoblin.plugins.api]]
[[mediagoblin.plugins.oauth]]

then run

./bin/gmg dbupdate

Then we need to build our android client but! before we do that we need some Oauth stuff visit http://media.example.com/oauth/client/register obviously changing details for your site, fill out the forms as a private with no redirect URL and either keep this page open or print it to PDF (Save paper) then we need the android client code so clone the git repo with

xpd259@mars:~/workspace$ git clone git://github.com/joar/mediagoblin-android.git
Cloning into 'mediagoblin-android'...
remote: Counting objects: 107, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (47/47), done.
remote: Total 107 (delta 36), reused 107 (delta 36)
Receiving objects: 100% (107/107), 317.13 KiB | 82 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (36/36), done.

in eclipse edit the resource
mediagoblin/src/org/mediagoblin/android/client/NetworkUtilities.java

and change the secret key and client id already filled in with your own and then build on your client, Then on your phone it will now load up media goblin and ask for a url fill this in, and then login using your username and password now any media your from the gallery and maybe other apps (not tested this yet) will have a share to media goblin icon, after giving your media a title and such a quick upload will silently add it to the upload sync and
moments later it will be on your gallery

multiple ssl certificates, apache2 and debian

noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:56:00 +0000

there maybe other ways to do this but me and a friend spent 5+ hours at this problem and this was the only solution

1st you will need your files from StartSSL
I ended up with a www.key, www.crt, sub.class1.server.ca.pem and ca.pem files
while using the example at Apache + startssl does work, it requires a password typing during the startup of apache to de-encrypt the encrypted key files, while this is great for security, but when trying to use two key files with a password apache just asks for the one and ignores the others
so I removed the password from the key file and made it in to a plain pem file, and configure apache in one file

openssl rsa -in www.key -out www.pem

/etc/apache2/Ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

Listen 443
NameVirtualHost *:443
SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck off

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName www.exapmple.com
        ServerAdmin email@example.com

   SSLEngine on
   SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
   SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

   SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.pem
   SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
   SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.pem
...
rest of normal config
...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName gallery.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com

   SSLEngine on
   SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
   SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

   SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gallery.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gallery.pem
   SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
   SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.pem
...
rest of normal config
...
</VirtualHost>

Then a restart of apache2 and loading any modules it requires and "job is good one"

Apache + start ssl

Easy ssh alias to simplify your life

noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:20:00 +0000

If you’re anything like me, you're probably using of a half dozen remote servers on a daily basis. And if you’re even more like me, you have trouble remembering all of the various usernames, remote addresses and command line options for things like specifying a non-standard connection port or forwarding local ports to the remote machine.

A typical SSH command looks something like this

 ssh user@example.com
 Password: **************

Not too shabby, but if the port is not on 22 like default, A more complex example of a connection could be something like

ssh sdfds@example.com -p 8937

now we could make this easier by adding a alias to ~/.bashrc so we connect with a simple bash alias

$ alias web='ssh username@web.example.com -p 224050'

and simply running

# web
password: *********

however there is a more elegant solution, ~/.ssh/config

Host mirror
    HostName server1.co.uk
    Port 6223
    User mirror

Host www
    HostName server2.com
    Port 66
    User www-data

Host jupiter
    HostName server3.org
    Port 22
    User xpd259

Host fileserver
    HostName fileserver.foo.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/fileserver_rsa
 
Host Minecraft
     HostName minecraft.foo.com
     User minecraft
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/minecraft_rsa
     ServerAliveInterval 30                                                                                                                                           
     ServerAliveCountMax 120

then it's possible to connect via a simple

ssh www

ssh -X www

Debian wheezy allow system wide use of wireless

noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:40:00 +0000

I wanted to allow normal users to be allowed to access wireless networks without knowing the system password or been given access to sudo, while I've been told this has been updated and fixed in the sid package, some might not want to upgrade packages
so fire up your terminal and run

sudo nano /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy

then search for the follow section and below the translations edit the allow_active to say yes

  
<action id="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system">
...
...
  <defaults>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>

this should allow normal users to use network manager and use wifi without the admin passwords this "fix" might get undone if an update is applied to the system
this should also work for any system using policykit such as ubuntu and arch

force chrome bookmarks to open in a new tab

To force chrome to open a URL in a new tab regardless of the mouse button the link is clicked with it is as simple as editing the URL with something like this

javascript:window.open('http://www.spritesandbites.net/');

passwordless truecrypt in Linux

noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:19:00 +0000

Passwordless Truecrypt

Using truecrypt to secure your data is a very wise idea, not only does it stop prying eyes from reading your data encase your PC is stolen it also means you can use a dropbox style syncing service, safe in the knowledge your data can (almost) never be read if the service is comprimised

Things you will need to do this

Root or Sudo access
knowledge of the command line
know how to use an editor

First Step creating the group to limit users to the truecrypt group who can use truecrypt

groupadd truecrypt

Edit the sudo config to allow the group to run the command

#Allow all members of group truecrypt to execute truecrypt command
%truecrypt ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/truecrypt

Add users to the group

gpasswd -a USER1 truecrypt
gpasswd -a USER2 truecrypt

logout and in again, and now when truecrypt is run, there should be no password dialog for mounting and unmounting other than your TC vaults password

creating `block in blogger`


noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:14:00 +0000
Creating a <code> block in blogger

I love my blog template, but it was lacking a code block to highlight when I was posting code other then using quote and that just didn't look right.

so how to go about it, html and css was the key. Make a background then make a green box around it then add some padding


.code{

background:gray;

padding:25px;
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                max-width:550px;

color:limegreen;

border-style:dashed;

border-width:2px;

border-color:limegreen;

}



this was all the css I needed to make the box look how I wanted it, but now to use it, I could use it inline but that would mean adding something like it everytime I made a post.
 This was a messy idea and would mean dupication of code, putting it in the template and calling <p> class="code"  </p> in the html editor was much more elegant.and less prone to errors

 
to edit the html/css visit Template in settings then customise-> Advanced -> css






by adding this code to the css section of advanced section of the template editor I can call it by adding the following to a post

<div> class="code" <p> text goes here</p>  </div>


this creates the desired effect



Embed an Audio file in a Blogger post
noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 18:53:00 +0000

Embed an audio file in a post Blogger
Sometimes it is useful to post an audio file on your blog, other than making a soundcloud account what are your options ?



For hosting the files, you need somewhere to store the mp3/ogg so it can be played back


dropbox (public folder)
Box.net
Amazon S3
web hosting
libsyn.com



Whatever you choose, how do you then get a player for the audio?



Most browsers support HTML5 Audio element[1] so we can use the <audio> element

enter this code replacing URL.ogg/URL.mp3 with the URL to your mp3 or ogg file




<audio controls="controls" height="50px" width="150px">
  <source src="URL.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
  <source src="URL.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element. Upgrade your browser to one that does
</audio>





  
  
Your browser does not support the audio element. Upgrade your browser to one that does




the player will play the 1st file format it recognises



also so the RSS feed has the media enclosed in it so podcasters play the audio you could do the following





Enclosure Links

gnome key bindings post
noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:18:00 +0000
if you have come here looking for the gnome key binding post,
Sorry this post was lost when I moved my blog to Blogger



a copy can be found on way-back machine on archive.org and looks something like this

I don't know if this works with gnome 3





Setting gnome keybindings is dead easy

a key binding is a quick key combination to start a program

so pressing alt+crl+ F starts firefox

I've done this on ubuntu 8.4 but it should be the same for any distribution of Linux with gnome as it's desktop
how to set it up for firefox

press +F2 and type gconf-editor








this will open the conf-editor
navigate to
app>metacity>global_keybindings





and find a disabled run_command e.g run_command_1
edit it so it has f in it (see screen shot ^ )

then naviage to
app>metacity>keybinding_commands
and find the matching command e.g if you used run_command_1 then find command_1 edit it with a double click and enter firefox \and ok





now when you press the keys alt+ctrl+F Firefox will start
repeat process for any other applications you want to give a key kinding to
    



shutter and Gnome 3
noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 18:55:00 +0000
If like me you have noticed that shutter keyboard short cuts no longer work, The fix is surprisingly simple



requirements




Gnome 3/shell installed
Shutter installed
little common sense ;)


First thing is to find the Keyboard settings in the control panel and click + on the Custom Shortcuts





Custom Short-cuts

Then lets "fix" the full screen capture, the command we need to run is shutter -f

so after clicking + and adding a name of your choosing add the command shutter -f for full screen mode





Full Screen capture



Then to capture the active window the command is shutter -a



so once again add a name and command





"Active window mode" capture





After this we need to set the shortcut key



click on Disabled and press the key/key-combo you wish for the command



I like "Print Screen" for full screen and "alt+Print Screen" for the active window

Dicks Perfect Debian Wheezy install
noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:40:00 +0000

Dicks Perfect Debian Wheezy install


I have been a Debian Wheezy user for some time now and I love everything about it but setting up a "perfect" system can take some extra steps, This is how I do mine.



1st download an ISO from www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

unless it has been released then just visit www.debian.org



burn to some media and reboot and then install using the installer (see video for a general Idea of what to do).



 





Once you have the default install of Gnome, KDE, Xfce or what ever you have picked

open a terminal sudo su to get root privileges



#sudo su




REPOS






open the following file



# nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list



and edit so it looks something like this, adding non-free contrib to the end of each line





deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main non-free contrib

deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib


it would also at this point it would make sense to make use of http://http.debian.net/ for your mirror, read the link for more details 








GRAPHICS


If you have an ATi or Nvidia card then follow theseNvidia http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Installation-1ATI http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo


MEDIA

Beware, patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are in.

For example Content Scramble System (libdvdcss) isn't totally legal in UK.

but! I want to watch DVDs on my system so, the first thing I did was install libdvdcss

while I don't like to install the whole Debian multimedia repos as I don't like what it does to other packages and I only want the one package, so either visit http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/package/libdvdcss2 or

# wget http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.12-dmo1_amd64.deb

# dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.12-dmo1_amd64.deb




once this is installed I can play DVDs




Then for the rest of the media I like to add the following so I can play media in my web browser

and have flash (yes I know it is evil and there is gnash but gnash is broken for you-tube)



# aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree gecko-mediaplayer gnome-mplayer mplayer2 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly




WIRELESS

if your wireless worked out of the box, then you are lucky I needed to manually add 

#apt-get install wireless-tools 

along with my WiFi drivers from the non-free repository but I'm not covering this as this can be found in the Debian wiki and doesn't need repeating as this is a general install guide.




Skype

While Skype isn't FOSS friendly and I don't like it, some friends can't use other g+ or other better services, so visit http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ and download the Debian 6.0 package and install with the following

#dpkg -i skype-debian_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb 

Chrome or Chromium

Chrome is the Google web browser and Chromium is the opensource version of it.

Here I have a choice of either chrome or chromium 

I prefer chrome and it can be downloaded from https://www.google.com/chrome

as it has an up-to-date flash (the only updated version of flash for Linux)


Chrome Choice


and installed with 

#dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
or install Chromium with 




# aptitude install chromium-browser

PLYMOUTH

Plymouth is the graphical boot loader that displays a "nice" image when booting it also works with encrypted partitions 





plymouth boot screen asking for a luks password







# aptitude install plymouth plymouth-themes-all v86d

# plymouth-set-default-theme joy




if you are using nvidia or get the ugly plymouth boot screen then do the following





nano /etc/default/grub





and replace the following line


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"




with this one:




GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"








and uncomment line (about) 19


#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480





then edit the following file 


nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules





and add the following


uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap


then in the terminal run


# echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash



then update grub and initramfs with the following 

#update-grub2


#update-initramfs -u

upon rebooting you should be greeted by a nice Plymouth boot




DROPBOX




As I own a Galaxy Nexus there's no easy way to "mount" my phone and access the data so I use dropbox and dropsync to sync the data on and off my phone automagically.




visit https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx or download the amd64 version with 

#wget https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/debian/dropbox_1.4.0_amd64.deb

or x86 with

#wget https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/debian/dropbox_1.4.0_i386.deb




and install with

#dpkg -i dropbox_*

# apt-get -f install




HANDBRAKE

Handbrake is a video converter so I can watch stuff on my upnp TV, XBMC client and make smaller high quality YouTube uploads, while this package is also in Debian multimedia I prefer to roll it my self.




first we need to install some dependencies 





apt-get install subversion yasm build-essential \

autoconf libtool zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libfribidi-dev \

intltool libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev \

libgudev-1.0-dev libwebkit-dev libnotify-dev \

libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev


then we need to download and build the source code





#svn checkout svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk hb-trunk

#cd hb-trunk

#./configure --launch



#cd build

#sudo make install


for more advance settings and build options see

https://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/doc/BUILD-Linux



not that I'm saying you should as it is illegal but you can now "backup" your dvds to protect your investment






OTHER APPLICATIONS


the final few applications I use day to day are Kdenlive, Blender and hotot



these can be added by a quick



apt-get install kdenlive blender hotot

How to Setup a VPN  Server on Debian Wheezy Linux
noreply@blogger.com (Dick Thomas) — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:57:00 +0000


I wanted a VPN to access my data on my server from my phone and other devices 






Prerequisite



You will need to forward port 1723 from the internet to the server to enable the connection.
you will need to know how to use apt-get, aptitude or other method of installing software.
You will need to know how to use a text editor on the command line vim, Emacs or nano.
set-up your router to allow remote connections to your machine.
set-up a static IP address or a faux one using a service like dyndns.org.


Install the VPN server





sudo su
aptitude install pptpd





then edit /etc/pptpd.conf



nano -w /etc/pptpd.conf


and add to the end of the file






localip 192.168.1.5remoteip 192.168.1.234-238


"localip" is the address of the server, and the "remoteip" are the addresses that will be handed out to the clients,  adjust these for your network



now is the time to edit the /etc/ppp/pptpd-options with your editor 




nano /etc/ppp/pptpd-options


and add the following to the end 




nobsdcompms-dns 192.168.0.1
nobsdcomp
noipx
mtu 1490




adjust the ms-dns ip address to suit your DNS servers details, once again set it up to suit your network

nano /etc/ppp/chap-secrets


use tab between fields 




# Secrets for authentication using CHAP# client        server  secret                  IP addressesdick      *    lemontree  *

then restart the server with  


sudo /etc/init.d/pptpd restart



Forwarding
This could be seen as a bit of a security risk as anybody connected to your VPN can use your internet connection, but as far as I see it what is the point of a VPN with out forwarding.
to do this we enable forwarding ipv4 in the kernel by editing  /etc/sysctl.conf


nano  /etc/sysctl.conf
find the net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 line and change it to 
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1





and either restart the system or run 

sysctl -p





Connecting


with Gnome on Debian wheezy or any other desktop using network manager install


apt-get install network-manager-pptp-gnome




Click The + at the bottom left









Choose Interface VPN and create a new interface









Blank VPN Window







Fill out per your requirements



Once you have filled out your host-name and connected to your machine  traffic will come via the VPN
