Saw this today and just saving the link for reference if I would run into this problem.

 

Fortunately there is an undocumented feature hidden in GS: You can declare your type declaration as deprecated. This way, GS does not try to initialize the object and does not try to create the type information object if it does not exist.

Sometime you just want to get a quick overview of what's going on. In this case I wanted to know from what regions accesses were made to a specific page. This web article: Analyzing Apache Log Files < System | The Art of Web, showed how to use awk to filter out specific fields in the apache log format.

I found some info on how to geolocate from the command line here: Geolocate a given IP address | commandlinefu.com (I installed geoip-bin on my Debian).

The resulting one-liner, that

• checks for a pattern in the log file vhosts_access.log,
• extracts the ip number for each request
• and geolocates it:

grep 'some_pattern_in_the_log' vhosts_access.log|awk '{print $2}'|sort|uniq| xargs -I xxx geoiplookup xxx|sort|less

On Ubuntu 13.04 (at least), edit the file:

~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

It is a configuration file in the Windows INI style format. Locate the section called

[KFileDialog Settings]

Change the settings:

Sort by=Date
Sort reversed=true

into:

Sort by=Name
Sort reversed=false

Furthermore, changing

View Style=Simple

into

View Style=Detail

will make it easy to change the sort order on the fly.

The changes will not be immediately picked up by Kate. I did not need to restart the computer or even logout from my Ubuntu Unity session, but logout is probably the way to go if the changes do not take effect after a while.

We will be back with Plone Training, with a three day course July 2 -4 2013 in London.

I haven't actually tested this, so far just assembling bits and pieces that ought to work together.

Now trying Geany, will see how it performs.

 

I recommend geany, which does not depend on Gnome and seems to have almost everything I might want.

I installed the LXDE lightweight X11 desktop environment  on a Debian-based virtual machine (Bachata Linux) and I liked the simplicity of it. So I decided to try lubuntu, Ubuntu with LXDE, on a virtual machine. Once installed, I tried to remove one of the games, to clear up the menus a bit. However then it seemed like it wanted to uninstall LXDE proper..

I wonder if it actually meant a meta-package or what it's called, seems strange to have an all-or-nothing install. I investigated further:

All is well then, somebody else must have thought the same thing as I, and added the explanation. It is apparently safe to remove lubuntu-desktop without removing the, eh, Lubuntu desktop.

import pydoc
pydoc.pager('\n'.join('Hello World %d!' % x for x in xrange(200)))

I had no idea about this. It works well with pythn 2.7 on Ubuntu 12.04

Sometimes I think it would be useful to have pipelines where you can branch out and handle errors or other conditions, or jump forward in a pipeline. There seems to be one syntax that covers this, the Hartmann pipeline:
