Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 3 comes with a brand new development version of the Nautilus file manager (with tabs) and a new Linux kernel, version 2.6.26-4 (based on 2.6.26). It also includes the following applications

building firebird 2.5 from source on ubuntu hardy

here is the script in google code

moving apache php hosts to nginx (scaling plan)

In the first stage we will use nginx to handle all images and files like javascript (is very fast and we can set high keepalive)
nginx can process php files from cakephp with fastcgi and i have wrote about the first test i have made at home for it (tested and worked the cake 1.2 and fastcgi on an ubuntu hardy system)

But to be safe we can keep apache and in first stage we use nginx as frontend for images and for php apache will handle the request
And if all ok we can switch later to an full nginx system without apache .(in part two)


Also nginx can be used as an load balancer (for content delivery) so in future if is needed we can add more servers for php serving


Think there will be more nginx servers but this only if there is a need to spread the load to many servers

problem with nginx and cakephp is solved now

I had to put the right root

location / {
root /var/www/app/webroot;

sound-juicer can be removed , i don't rip cds

i also use vlc 0.9.0 instead of totem
so i can remove all totem packages

$sudo apt-get remove totem totem-common totem-gstreamer totem-mozilla

How to disable ipv6 in ubuntu

here is an small howto

Before disabling



and after




$ip addr show lo
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo


see no ipv6

gnome-nettool is quite useful so it will stay for the moment

i use comand line tools line , traceroute and mtr but it looks nice and i like it

network status is ok for me and i don't quite care about network applet so i have removed it

gnome-netstatus-applet

I told you i don't use evolution and deskbar-applet

so i have removed them

$sudo apt-get remove contact-lookup-applet deskbar-applet


Deskbar-applet is intended as a browser-like keyword-driven url bar.
You type a web address, or an email address, or a file name, or some
keyword then the arguments, and it shows a popup with possible choices
from there. Like 'Search google for foo'.

I also don't use palm

so
$sudo apt-get remove gnome-pilot gnome-pilot-conduits

my next removals (i use k3b so i can remove brasero, also i use thunderbird so i can remove all evolution bloat)

$sudo apt-get remove evolution-webcal gnome-cards-data rhythmbox brasero

i'm still left with evolution-data-server-common

also i don't use msdos floppies or zipdisks so
i can remove mtools

also i don't need wvdial

on an lan network

sudo apt-get remove wvdial

if you don't use floppies
then you can remove fdutils

sudo apt-get remove fdutils

/etc git snapshots with php

Read the main article with general idea http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/20070312134706

I have wrote an small php script for daily snapshots for /etc

Here how i use it on an nacked sistem


1.install git
apt-get install git-core
2. initialize /etc to be a git repo
cd /etc
git init-db
chmod og-rwx .git
3.ignore a few files
cat > .gitignore
*~
*.dpkg-new
*.dpkg-old
4.commit the current state
git add .
git commit -a -m"initial import"


then you can add an daily snapshot script or an after upgrade one (after dist-upgrade)

./git-snapshot-script.php

You can check the /etc status with

$sudo git status

in my case was

# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add ..." to update what will be committed)
#
# modified: php5/cli/php.ini
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
so i have made a new snapshot
./git-snapshot-script.php
/etc Backup for Mon Jul 21 18:51:19 EEST 2008Created commit a2b9112: snapshot Mon Jul 21 18:51:19 EEST 2008

after pulse audioremoval

now i can watch youtube with sound thank you

also what is left libpulse0 , if i remove it
then it will remove audacious and mplayer
I guess i can recompile them without pulse support
also i should remove pulse from ubuntu-desktop (there is one dependency somewhere)

howto solve the pulseaudio problem in ubuntu

remove all pulseaudio [it might break your system ...so please do it with care]

sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-lirc libpulse-dev

or with synaptic hunt them down all packages that can be removed from the system
without breaking it too much

put your rest in memcache

briliant idea to use memcache and have less hits to the php and database (expensive)
I guess 99% of time the hits will be requested from memcache and only the new pages will be created
and pushed in memcache

example.com/rest/request-> nginx -> memcache -> php+apc- > select * from employees

http://blog.kovyrin.net/2007/08/05/using-nginx-ssi-and-memcache-to-make-your-web-applications-faster/

Load Balancing & QoS with HAProxy

[Ed: and seems that nginx can be used like an proxy and load balancer , what next ? you can get rid of complex lvs ]

Did you know that Flickr optimizes all of their pages to render in sub 250ms?

When you're fighting with response times, the worst thing you can possibly do is queue up another request behind an already long running process. Not only does the first request take forever, but everyone else must wait in line for it to finish as well! To mitigate the problem HAProxy goes beyond a simple round-robin scheduler, and implements a very handy feature: intelligent request queuing!

HAProxy Request Queuing

You can get similar functionality in Nginx directly with the 'Fair Proxy Balancer' plugin (EngineYard is rumored to be running it).

Nginx and Memcached, a 400% boost!

seems another way to speed the request responses

http://www.igvita.com/2008/02/11/nginx-and-memcached-a-400-boost/

Nginx, by default, comes prepackaged with the Memcached module, which allows us to bypass the Mongrel servers and talk to Memcached directly. Same hardware, and a quick test later: ~3,550 req/s, or almost a 400% improvement! Not bad for a five minute tweak!

nginx is very efficient

Very efficient memory handling: it needs only 2.5Mbytes of RAM for 10000 inactive keep-alive connections.

try that with apache and php module , it will kill the server at so many requests

Serving flv files with nginx

Seems that i can ditch apache now wihout problems from equation also lighttpd (that seems to be stalled and with more crashes and memory leaks)

nginx - Basically, it's saved a server.

Quote of the day about nginx web server :

I've moved two phpAdsNew ad servers, a fairly-busy Wordpress blog, the above-mentioned Drupal site and my own Drupal site from Apache2 into Nginx in the last week. Processor use has increased on the server, but critically the ongoing web+database memory use has come down by over 300MB. This means that the box hasn't gone into swap for a week (normally it was paging out every day), server response times are up and (because I'm also using APC to store Drupal's source files in memory) page download speeds are also up considerably.

Basically, it's saved a server.

Tips for configuring nginx for cake php

Here are the rewrite rules to use for nginx, seems that i will need to solve the img problems

http://blog.timperrett.com/2008/4/17/nginx-engine-x-rewrite-rules-for-cakephp


location / {
root /var/www/cake/app/webroot;
index index.php index.html;
# If the file exists as a static file serve it
# directly without running all
# the other rewite tests on it
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
break;
}

here is my nginx config that you can take as example

Linus Torvalds, Geek of the Week

Linus Torvalds is remarkable, not only for being the technical genius who wrote Linux, but for then being able to inspire and lead an enormous team of people to devote their free time to work on the operating system and bring it to maturity. We sent Richard Morris off to interview Linus, and find out more.

Torvalds wrote: "PS. And to get wider distribution for this message: Digg users - you're all a bunch of Wanking Walruses. And you can quote me on that."

and then they Wanking Walruses can cooperate with the masturbating monkeys from OpenBSD

To use UDF modules in ubuntu/linux

You must put full path to the UDF module when you declare the function

in my case

/usr/lib/firebird/2.1/UDF

otherwise you will get something like

"Invalid token. invalid request BLR at offset 63. function SUBSTR is not defined. module name or entrypoint could not be found."

--FBUDF_API int isLeapYear(const ISC_TIMESTAMP* v);

declare external function isLeapYear

timestamp

returns int by value

entry_point 'isLeapYear' module_name '/usr/lib/firebird/2.1/UDF/fbudf.so';

then it worked

select isLeapYear(hire_date) from EMPLOYEE

Firmware for xc2028 tuner and Winfast TV2000 XP Global

In case you try the v4l-dvb from mercurial repository and winfast TV2000 xp global (seems to be suported if you look the cx88 card list but no sound in my case )

install v4l-dvb from source

$hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

cd v4l-dvb
make ; sudo make install

Then extract the firmware

v4l-dvb/linux/Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl:

In order to use, you need to:
1) Download the windows driver with something like:
wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL
.zip
2) Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir:
unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
Driver85/hcw85bda.sys
3) run the script:
./extract_xc3028.pl
4) copy the generated file:
sudo cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware


reboot and driver should look like this

[ 344.286793] xc2028 2-0061: Loading firmware for type=MTS (4), id 0000000100000007.
