Then I realised that 2560x1080 resolution of the screen, but I need the resolution of the HP display panel which is 1920x1080 resolution — but no luck finding the EDID for the EliteBook 855 G8 panel…

Shell Scripting In shell scripting the checking a string is achieved using [ ${var} = "string" ] , if you are writing bash scripts you can use == for the equality test, but this is a non standard extension. os=`uname` if [ ${os} = "Linux" ]; then path=/usr/bin/ else path=/usr/local/bin/ fi Is an example of an if statement using this test . equality shell

Modern text rendering with Linux Came across the following blog so I thought I would give it a try - currently OpenBSD has freetype1, so I am following the process on a AWS Centos 7 machine. To get the needed libraries I needed yum install freetype freetype-devel and yum install libpng-devel To get the correct headers used pkg-config --cflags freetype2 The makefile was failing to build the program - due to me using /usr/local/include instead of /usr/include with missing headers… advanced muppetry… Google Fonts A collection of fonts and that are served by Google. git git remote -v show fonts freetype font rendering git

fonts Following an article mononoki on lobste.rs I installed both mononoki and Fantasque Sans Mono on my laptop /usr/local/share/fonts , and then ran /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache -v which added these new fonts to the font cache. Testing the fonts was done using: printf '\e]710;%s\007' "xft:FantasqueSansMono:pixelsize=12" Getting the terminal to pick up the changes I had to put: URxvt.font: xft:FantasqueSansMono:pixelsize=12 in my .Xdefaults, in ArchLinux that file is deprecated so you would put it in your .Xresources file.

tcpdump Came across a blog on tcpdump with rotating capture files , using the -G , which is a Linux extension to tcpdump. So started playing with tee and split to see if I could generate the same sort of thing: sudo tcpdump -netttlXs 1500 -i em0 | split -b 1m - but this doesn't split on packets or save the information in pcap files: more work needed… tcpdump

NAS Purchased a diskless ReadyNAS and two Toshiba 2TB external disks (Toshiba 2TB StorE Alu2 External Hard Drive from eBuyer quick link 234952 ), which I stripped down and put the disks in the ReadyNAS. Initially I had some issues with the ReadyNAS reporting "corrupt root" this turned out to be due to the disks not been set to boot in the disklabel, once set the disk to boot using fdisk on Debian, the unit installed the OS correctly on the drives. ssh Add-on Installed the ssh add-on which allows ssh access to the ReadyNAS: Linux FileStore 2.6.31.8.duov2 #1 Tue Aug 28 11:21:02 HKT 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux Last login: Thu May 2 14:57:24 2013 from 192.168.5.9 root@FileStore:~# Still need to test backing up Beth's iPad…
