802.1X is not user-configurable anymore. So you will need a profile you can install, i got mine from the LRZ:

You will need the eduroam credentials to access the site.

Apparently apple doesn’t like other vendors SSD’s, therefore only Apple SSD’s get TRIM support. I have a SSD ex factory but for all the hardware hackers out there, this is how its done:

Nasty side effect: you have to do this for each os update . . .

I have a bash script that generates names for binaries, these names include parameters ranging from 2 to 64. I sort these then but due to the nature of alphanumeric sorting, 4 is sorted between 32 and 64 (4 is bigger than 3 but smaller than 6…). So what i need is leading zeros for the sorting to work the way i want it to work. The easiest solution i could come up with is padding zeros c-style using the command line version of printf:

PARAMLIST="2 4 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64"
for PARAM in $PARAMLIST;
do 
  printf "%02d\n" $PARAM
done

sort –numeric-sort

solves the sorting issue as well

ever wanted to merge two text files horizontally, line by line? I do have a list of files were I want to associate one entry in each file with its name for plotting in gnuplot:

find ${LOG} -iname "*.log" -path "*${FILTER}*" -exec cat {} \; >times.txt
find ${LOG} -iname "*.log" -path "*${FILTER}*" -exec echo {} \; >names.txt

Now i need one result file with:

name1 time1
name2 time2
...

The tool i was searching for is called paste and does exactly that:

paste names.txt times.txt

Sometimes I really do love my job (but only sometimes )

One of my favorite applets in gnome is netspeed which of course wont work in unity (damn you, unity). But using the indicator version of sysmon, dstat (cool tool – check it out if you haven’t already) and some bash magic you can get something similar to work anyways.

The above link explains everything needed and you’ll end up with your netspeed being displayed in the panel . . .

Ubuntu server installation provides colored man pages – nifty
This is what has to be done to get it working in a X session terminal:

sudo aptitude install most
sudo update-alternatives --config pager

Choose “most” from the list and test it with a man pagge “man test”.

Have fun . . .

[update] As always, bert nows more :
I have found a major and a minor flaw in using most as the man pager:

Major: I use the -X option for less (by putting them into the LESS env variable [1]). This does not clear the terminal on exit of less. Thus, you see the last viewed page of the manual. This is particular helpful when looking-up a command line option, so I can copy’n’paste the option to the command line after quitting less. I can’t find a similar option for most.

Minor: less shows the name of the manual page in the bottom prompt, while most just shows ‘*stdin*’.

Footnote [1]: For the curious reader, this is the content of my $LESS: -MSiRXF. Feel free to look them up in the manual.
