Installing Aeon Stark skin in XBMC (Dharma)
28 december 2010 By 5 Comments
Although Confluence the default XBMC is nice, there are far more beautiful skins for XBMC. Aeon is one of the best:
To install this very spiffy theme in Ubuntu, you first have to install Git for accessing the repository:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Go to your XBMC addons directory and install Aeon65:
cd ~/.xbmc/addons git clone git://github.com/pix/aeon.git skin.aeon65
After this you can select Aeon in XBMC

Install TweetDeck in Fedora/CentOS/REDHAT
17 augustus 2010 By 2 Comments
When you try to install Tweetdeck from the website you’ll notice it doesn seem to do anything. The problem isn’t Tweetdeck itself but the AdobeAIR installer. The easiest way to install AdobeAIR is by downloading the .BIN file manually from here.
Now go to the directory you downloaded your .BIN file to and make it executable:
chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
Execute the file
./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
Now execute the installer
sudo /usr/bin/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer
You can now go to the Tweetdeck website and select “Download now, it’s free“, the installer will use Adobe AIR to execute the installation.

Hacker Comex has released a tool which can easily jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0.1.
To do this, simply browse to http://www.jailbreakme.com and you wil be presented with the following screen.
Simply move the slider to the right and your jailbreak will commence.
This tool should not only work for the iPhone 4, but also for other devices running iOS 4.0 or 4.0.1, including the iPhone 3G, 3GS and the iPod Touch. You can also jailbreak devices running iOS 3.2 using the JailbreakMe-website, so that includes the iPad!
Installing XBMC in Fedora 13/CentOS/Red Hat Enterprise

Make sure you have the rpm-fusion repositories enabled. You can find how to do this over here.
Install the following packages
yum install SDL* glew glew-devel libmad-devel tre tre-devel libogg libogg-devel libvorbis libvorbis-devel boost boost-devel bzip2-devel bzip2-libs fribidi* lzo lzo-devel mysql-libs mysql-devel jasper jasper-devel faac faac-devel enca enca-devel hal hal-devel hal-libs cmake gperf nasm libXmu-devel fontconfig-devel freetype-devel libXinerama-devel pcre-devel gcc-c++ sqlite-devel curl-devel mysql-devel libcdio-devel libmms-devel faad2-devel flac-devel libsmbclient-devel libXtst-devel libsamplerate-devel libtiff-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel avahi-devel wavpack-devel libmpeg2-devel libtool libmicrohttpd-devel libmodplug-devel redhat-lsb expat-devel subversion gettext gettext-libs gettext-devel
For NVIDIA Graphic cards also install libvdpau-devel.i686
sudo yum install libvdpau-devel
Get the xbmc repository
svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/ XBMC
Now configure the application
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so cd XBMC/ ./bootstrap ./configure make
Install XBMC
make install
Start XBMC by typing
xbmc
in a terminal. Of course you can create a shortcut for this.
Sometimes SELinux can prevent XBMC from starting. I always disable it, but you can run the following commands (as root) to let SELinux load the files.
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avutil-50-i486-linux.so'
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/swscale-0.6.1-i486-linux.so'
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avcodec-52-i486-linux.so'
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avformat-52-i486-linux.so'
Add the RPM Fusion repositories to your system
30 juli 2010 By 1 Comment
To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the following command:
Fedora 12 and 13:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
Fedora Rawhide aka. what will become Fedora 14 – NOT for Fedora 13:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'
RHEL5 or compatible like CentOS:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm'

Mount an ISO file in Linux
27 juli 2010 By Leave a Comment
Sometimes you need to mount an ISO archive in Linux. Now I’m using Fedora, but it’s basically the same in about any Linux distro, You can use the image via the loop device in Linux.
First you have to become root or use sudo.
su -
Create a directory in which you want to mount the image. I want to mount a DVD so I’ll just create a
DVD
directory in the
/media
directory
mkdir /media/DVD
Now mount the image
mount -o loop DVD.iso /media/DVD
When you look in the directory
/media/DVD
you will see the contents of the mounted image
ls -alh /media/DVD
After using your image (or in my case watching your DVD unmount it
umount /media/DVD
