Fedora Packages in OBS
I noticed that Fedora build of most of my perl packages fails because of an invalid License field in the spec file.
Fedora is quite strict on the content of that field. Only license strings from this list are allowed. Combinations of licenses must be combined with ‘and’ or ‘or’.
Since openSUSE is not so restrictive with the syntax here I tend to use the Fedora way of filling it.
Further information can be found in the Fedora Licensing Guidelines.
Typing strange characters made easy
To enable the compose key in KDE4 follow these few steps:
- Go to Input Devices → Keyboard in KDE control center
- Choose the tab labelled “Advanced”
- Check the box there and the list below is enabled
- Open “Position of Compose-Key”
- Choose your preferred compose key (mostly thats right control key)
Ready.
To find out how to type what have a look at
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
I quite often use the “real” dash “–” (Compose – - .) instead of the minus sign “-”. Fractions look better his way ⅚ (Compose 5 6) than this way 5/6. Also smileys ☺ (Compose : )), copyright © (Compose o c), arrows → (Compose – >) and much more.
openSUSE 11.4 on an IdeaPad S10-2
Its two weeks now that I got a “new” toy: An used Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2. I know it’s not bleeding edge, but has all what I need and the battery lasts nearly forever (up to ~6 hours depending what I do with it).
It came with Windows 7 installed. After digging thorugh the strange partitioning with a boot partition, a system partition, a backup partition and a rescue partition, I finally managed to make some space for openSUSE 11.4 while still being able to boot Win7 (what I did not do so far).
To make it shot: Every piece of hardware worked out of the box!
Everything means: Graphics, Sound, WiFi, Bluetooth, UMTS, GPS, Webcam, Suspend (also resume 
) and most of the Special Keys (suspend, display on/off, touchpad on(off, brightness, volume and the audio buttons).
Ok, one thing so far doesn’t work: Fetching the balance of my prepaid account using gammu – but of course I already reported that.
I don’t regret that 150€ – I simply recommend that IdeaPad.
Count Colors in a SVG Image
With this commandline you can count the colors used in an SVG image:
grep -oiP “#[0-9a-f]{6};” file.svg | sort -u | wc -l
Just if somebody needs that … (I just did)
Using WordPress now …
After having my first blogging try with Nibbleblog I switched over to WordPress.
I liked the idea of having a really tiny blogging engine without a database in its back. However Nibbleblog doesn’t properly handle RSS-Feeds. Means: Deleted posts still appear in your feed and you cannot filter by categories.
I could of course fix that, but I think I don’t have time for that at the moment. So I’ll start with WordPress … like all the others.
