ubuntu 11.04 and intel compilers

September 7th, 2011 No comments

only work well after gcc-multilib has been installed. An intel dev in the forums wrote that not even the intel 12.x compilers will support ubuntu’s new lib-folder structure so keep in mind to install gcc-multilib on new systems as this is not done per default.

TRIM revisited

July 25th, 2011 No comments

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 . . .

If you visit the link, do take the time to read the comments, they are “enlightening” . . .

Colorfull man pages

July 8th, 2011 6 comments

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.

Cheat Sheets

April 14th, 2011 No comments

Ich bin großer Fan von Cheat Sheets zu deutsch: Spickzettel, zumindest wenn es um Programmierung oder Ähnliches geht. Wer zur Hölle soll sich all die verschiedenen Syntaxen auch merken?! Willi erinnerte mich neulich mal wieder dran, dass sowas u.U. besser ist als sich gleich ein ganzes Buch zu kaufen.

Nach kurzem Suchen bin ich auf Cheat-Sheets.org gestoßen, eine Website mit vielerlei Spickzetteln zu diversen Programmiersprachen, Anwendungen und vielem mehr.

Wer noch mehr kennt möge sie posten, Cheerio!
