Fiz esse script (cedilha.sh) pra fazer o c-cedilha (Ã§) funcionar no Ubuntu 16.04. Como Ã© uma tarefa chata que eu jÃ¡ tive que fazer muitas vezes fica mais fÃ¡cil pra mim ter um script pra fazer isso e pode ser que seja Ãºtil a outras pessoas. Infelizmente Ã© uma soluÃ§Ã£o que exige baixar e executar como root um script da internet. Eu recomendo que vocÃª leia o script e entenda o que estÃ¡ acontecendo antes de executÃ¡-lo. Esse script altera vÃ¡rios arquivos importantes e ele faz um backup (.bak) desses arquivos.

[bash]wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silveira/cedilha.sh/master/cedilha.sh
sudo bash cedilha.sh[/bash]

Por favor, se o script funcionou pra vocÃª tambÃ©m, diga nos comentÃ¡rios. Se vocÃª nÃ£o estÃ¡ usando Ubuntu 16.04 e quer testar o script ainda assim, edite o script e remova a verificaÃ§Ã£o no inicio do programa.

Heroku on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

Published by Silveira on 2011-09-28

As root execute:

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential ruby rails rubygems1.8
apt-get install ruby1.8-dev libopenssl-ruby

Chance PATH at /etc/environment:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin"

Update your current environment:

source /etc/environment

Install the Heroku gem:

sudo gem install heroku

Run Heroku authentication configuration:

heroku auth:login

Enter the credentials for your Heroku account.

Done!

AVCHD (.MTS) video files

I’m dealing with video format of my new camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3). It’s the AVCHD format (.MTS file extension). You can convert it to other formats using HandBrake on Ubuntu.

Miojo Script

Published by Silveira on 2010-01-28

O pre-requisito Ã© o notify-send, um utilitÃ¡rio de linha de comando do libnotify. No Ubuntu:

sudo aptitude install libnotify-bin

E aqui o script em si:

sleep 5m; notify-send "aviso" "tirar o miojo do fogo"

Pronto, depois de cinco minutos isso vai aparecer:

OpenCV on Ubuntu

Published by Silveira on 2009-12-21

digital_eye

Open Computer Vision Library or just OpenCV, is a cross-platform computer vision library focused on real-time image processing for video files or webcams.

You have two options to obtain the environment to develop on OpenCV. You can insert a new repository in your package manager or compile it by yourself.

For Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala there’s this repository with OpenCV’s package.

To compile it you have to install some additional libraries compile it by your self. And it’s instructions vary for each distribution and version. For example, from Ubuntu Linux 9.10 to 9.04, the process varies slightly. I followed the instructions on this post “Installing OpenCV 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala”.

After you have installed and have a well configured OpenCV development environment, you can compile a “source.c” file into a “program” binary like this:

gcc gcc source.c -o program `pkg-config opencv â€‘â€‘libs â€‘â€‘cflags`

Congelando e Ressuscitando Processos

Published by Silveira on 2009-11-14

Nem sÃ³ de morte vive o kill.

Suponha que vocÃª tem um processo chamado program e quer congelar seu funcionamento. Para congela-lo sem mata-lo vocÃª pode mandar um sinal SIGSTOP com:

kill -s stop `pidof program`

Para ressuscitar o mesmo processo:

kill -s cont `pidof program`

JavaFX 1.1 for Linux workaround

Published by Silveira on 2009-05-16

Download

javafx4linux.tar.bz2 (~ 36Mb).

Installing

1) Extract the javafx4linux.tar.bz2 file. In this example I’m placing it on my Desktop. After the installing process you can remove it.

2) Open your NetBeans 6.5 and go at Tools â†’ Plugins and go to Downloaded tab. In a plain and new NetBeans installation there will be no plugin in this tab yet.

3) Click on the Add Plugins button and head to the directory you extracted the file and select all .nbm files.

4) You will see a list of 22 plugins selected. Click on the Install button.

5) Just keep clicking on the Next button.

6) Check the license agreement accept box.

7) You’ll see a warning because the Linux pluggin is not signed. Don’t worry, just click Continue.

8) Click on Finish to restart NetBeans.

9) Now we can test it. Go at File â†’ New Project, select the JavaFX on Categories and JavaFX Script Application on Projects.

10) Put some code and run it. There is. JavaFX on Linux.

Considerations

This is not a official of JavaFX for Linux! This solution was tested on Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” with Java 6 update 13 and NetBeans 6.5.1, but should also work with others Linux distributions and Java versions greater than 5.

Known bugs

As a non official workaround for JavaFX for Linux you may notice some drawbacks. Some parts of the JavaFX runtime rely on native implementations on the specific operational system. You may not use some multimedia capabilities as video playback, JavaFX Mobile emulator and some performance issues in some effects. Despite that, is perfectly possible to develop applications using JavaFX on NetBeans.

Thanks

I’d like to thanks some guys around the world. Weiqi Gao’s original post on JavaFX on Linux, HuaSong Liu article on DZone and Kaesar Alnijres post.

Ubuntu Jaunty: mÃ¡ performance grÃ¡fica

Published by Silveira on 2009-05-13

ubuntu glass logo

Nas versÃµes anteriores do Ubuntu, inclusive no 8.04 que eu utilizava anteriormente, nÃ£o havia do que me queixar. PorÃ©m com a mudanÃ§a para o 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) de imediato foi possÃvel reparar uma queda drÃ¡stica na performance da aceleraÃ§Ã£o grÃ¡fica 3D.

Minha placa grÃ¡fica no meu notebook, um Amazon FL31.

silveira@fl31:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)

Na release desta versÃ£o do Ubuntu havia um aviso de possÃvel regreÃ§Ã£o na performance em placas de vÃdeo da Intel onde hÃ¡ a indicaÃ§Ã£o de algumas soluÃ§Ãµes provisÃ³rias.

RegressÃ£o do Driver

Eu experimentei uma soluÃ§Ã£o mais drÃ¡stica que foi alternar o driver de vÃdeo para a versÃ£o anterior. O desempenho melhorou bastante, mas ainda senti uma boa diferenÃ§a para os padrÃµes que eu estou habituado. AlÃ©m disso continuava impossÃvel rodar alguns jogos, as texturas eram carregadas nos lugares errados e poucos quadros por segundo. Eu acabei por retornar os drivers para o default do Jaunty e descartar essa opÃ§Ã£o.

AtualizaÃ§Ã£o do Driver

Uma soluÃ§Ã£o alternativa que eu me deparei foi atualizar os drivers para uma versÃ£o mais nova. Como root execute os comandos abaixo para adicionar os repositÃ³rios a lista do APT, adicionar suas chaves e atualizar as informaÃ§Ãµes de pacote e instalar os novos drivers:

echo â€œdeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty mainâ€ >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel.list

sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 165d673674a995b3e64bf0cf4f191a5a8844c542

aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade

A performance ainda nÃ£o estÃ¡ tÃ£o boa quanto jÃ¡ foi mas estÃ¡ completamente suave e usÃ¡vel.

Ubuntu Shipit

Published by Silveira on 2008-12-30

Ubuntus!

Those days I received my box of free Ubuntu CDs and sticks, free of charges.Â Courtesy of Canonical throught the Ubuntu Shipit project, thanks guys! I love those Internet free stuff. It’s essential having a few CDs distros always with me.
