Comment on Running Debian on a Samsung Galaxy under Android by Joe

The 50-rules at the top referring to 18d1 is for the google nexus, which makes the rule unnecessary. The 90-rules referring to 4e8 is where the udev actually uses the rule to recognize the samsung.

Comment on Mounting UFS in read/write under Linux (debian) by Kegeruneku

Now for the challenge of the day :

I got a FreeBSD VM running over kvm, with a LVM backend for the storage. I am able to mount the root using kpartx however the slices are now properly detected, thus the majority of datas are missing.

Do you happen to know a way to detect slices on a Linux LV ?

Comment on Apache mod_python local module import by moebiius_eye

I don’t think your solution is the best one, let me show you how I do it:

sys.path.append(“./”)
import bloup

It works fine for me.
Please tell me if this is not a proper way to do it, since i am new to Apache’s mod_python.

Should it be like this?

# cp /boot/config-2.6.27-2-686 .config <—

I think this is the right path?
# cp /boot/config-2.6.27-2-686 linux-source-2.6.27/.config

Thank you for this post! I didn’t realize you could rsync the cvs repo from sourceforge. This GREATLY sped up importing a 580MB repo compared to importing it via CVS protocol.

Also, thanks for mentioning DEP-5 and dh 7; there are a lot of powerful tools that are not well known enough.

Hi!

Cool, i haven’t tried yet but seems to will work, so I can see one irony:

FreeBSD – cannot mount EXT4 partitions from native way and included in the release (yet).
Linux – cannot mount UFS2 partitions from native way and included in the release (yet).

BUT! both systems can mount NTFS and FAT32 partitions… ironic, no?

I was googling for a cross-platform system file, to have one partition of data and two of O.S; but I only found that FAT is supported for many O.S. (that sucks). I KNOW that ext2 is supported for Unix but i think that is slow …

I’ll try this trick (recompile my linux’s kernel) and except the best, if not i’ll moved to NTFS or FAT (but very ungry)…

Regards, sorry for my bad english because I’m mexican :P.

Ooh, nice! Thank you Anh for the tip. :)

I’ll try to set up the mirroring between sf.net and github.

Cheers,

SF.net also supports Git and you can use it as a mirror. Git has a flexible way maintain remote branches, so setting up both repositories won’t bother.

BTW, here the command I used to convert your CVS repos into Git (don’t have to use rsync to make a local copy of CVS repository.)

git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@lshell.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lshell -o master -C lshell lshell
