Can’t Stand the Hype

Posted on February 6, 2011 by ehurst

As I type these characters on my screen, the Super Bowl broadcast is beginning. I don’t like TV, and I’m in another room. But equally important is, while I might be willing to play a little football, I’m not willing to watch it if there’s enough money involved for the players to wear uniforms.

What I can’t stand is the hype.

I’m an iconoclast by nature. I can’t stand the hype in any other part of life, either. Grandly staged satire is great, but too many people take this stuff seriously. It gets old reading Linux distro reviews loaded with all the same marketing bilge terminology confronting me in other parts of life. Don’t try to tell me what I want; tell me what you’ve got. I don’t care about your goals and thoughtful philosophies, but how well it works for me. Tell me about some nagging old driver issue you finally got fixed, or how you’ve made the same old reliable interface a good bit quicker with fewer bugs so it doesn’t pack my error logs with meaningless complaints. Stop making it so damnably hard to make bug reports and I’ll gladly test your stuff and contribute to the process. My life is not wrapped around the OS on my computer, nor the next car I dream of buying, and scantily clad cheerleaders don’t help me decide.

Want to sell me something? Tell me how it makes life better for people. More ornate is not a human value. More convenient but taking up precious counter space is not a human value. Tastier but loaded with FDA approved toxins is not a human value. Highly certified and utterly useless is not a human value. Solving imaginary problems not felt by any real person is not a human value. Adaptable to any of the billions of unique individuals in this world is a human value, while seeking to force them to fit a mold serving your commercial bottom line is evil.

Telling me you are going to relieve my boredom is boring itself. Don’t offer me the next new thing which will make me feel like an insider in a world where everyone is an outsider because the entire cultural orientation is isolation from our real selves. Don’t tell me it will make pain go away; tell me how it will make the world more tolerable in spite of the pain which never really leaves. Tell me how you are going to help me discover the source of my pain, then let me decide for myself how to balance the priorities you don’t live with, but which I do.

Hype is the chains by which we imprison ourselves more tightly to emptiness. Hype makes a handful wealthy and powerful at the expense of everyone else. The true revolution will not be televised and will remain utterly unmarketable. But there will always be a few looking for it at any given time. Tell me how you plan to offer that freedom freely.

PySol on Debian Squeeze

Posted on February 5, 2011 by ehurst

PySol is not in the repository for Squeeze, but it is for Lenny and Sid. I have read several discussions and the bug reports, but aside from a supposed lack of maintainer, the only issue with PySolFC is making sure you don’t use Python 2.6.0. Well, Squeeze is currently at 2.6.8, so we are safe.

At any rate, it’s not too hard to make it install. First, get the source; pick the file marked “PySolFC-2.0.tar.bz2” and download it. Login as root. You can unzip and untar it in /usr/local/src or wherever you like.

Make sure you install python-pygame and python-tk which is supplied from the standard Debian sources:

apt-get install python-pygame python-tk

Then step into the PySolFC folder and run this command:

python setup.py install

It will take a few minutes to get the game to show up in the menu system. From your normal user account, run PySolFC once to make sure it works okay. Then get yourself the standard music files or any other mod music files you like. Drop them into the folder at ~/.PySolFC/music/ and you should have the background music playing nicely.

Squeeze on Inspiron 1525

Posted on February 3, 2011 by ehurst

This installation was the most recent Squeeze RC2 release, downloaded just two days before this blog post. If you’ve never installed Debian, please see this detailed guide for installing Squeeze. I used the graphical installation offered on the welcome screen.

The previous OS on this laptop was Windows 7, and it has been my experience Win7 does strange things with its file system. Several Linux distros have had trouble doing a repartition and format behind Win7. It failed on the first try, and required I restart the installation process. This was the only hiccup I experienced; the installation was otherwise routine. I chose the defaults all the way through.

There were only two noteworthy items. First, the sound as a whole is much lower than on any previous OS I have tested on this laptop. That is, turning it all the way up still produces a much lower sound volume than I expected, and the tiny speakers at the base of the screen hinge barely put out any sound. However, plugging in headphones offers the normal volume. I can’t guess whether this represents some flaw in the as-yet unfinished product.

Second, I had to build the Broadcom STA module to get wifi working. The instructions are easy to follow; find them here. By using the module assistant, you can easily rebuild any time the kernel is upgraded. This assumes you have access to a regular wired ethernet connection during the process.

Additionally, if you like using the Alps trackpad as much as I do, you really should consider adding the gpointing-device-settings package. The standard GNOME tool for setting acceleration is nowhere near as sensitive as most modern laptops need. This added tool shows up in the menu system under Preferences as “Pointing Devices” and allows for a much finer control over most items.

For those less clued in on Debian, a major concern will be such things as the multimedia packages easily obtained for Debian from Debian Multimedia, an additional repository. Follow their instructions. Once you have your apt repositories updated, I recommend you install the following:

apt-get install mplayer gecko-mediaplayer libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 libdvdcss2 w32codecs sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

This will pull in a lot of dependencies, of course. Because I like the Opera browser, I added that to my sources.list. Just follow the instructions here. Installing this will also give you the Adobe version of Flashplayer as a dependency. Otherwise, you can simply:

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

There are other specialized repositories, and just about every package not already available that way probably has a Debian build version somewhere. The size of Debian user community is so large, it’s hard to find a peculiar Open Source project which does not have a Debian packaged version somewhere. Simply use your favorite search engine with the key word “debian” and whatever it is you are hunting. Same goes for any hardware issue you encounter on your particular hardware. The likelihood some Debian user has already dealt with it is very high.

Update: For those who want to know, here is the hardware via lspci:

Not Cheering for Revolution

Posted on February 2, 2011 by ehurst

I love people. I really prefer humans and interacting with them over just about any other activity in this world. I only like computers because they make communication easier, so all my writing here on computers is really about helping people communicate. If computers are a thing unto themselves, a discrete and separate goal, then they are useless. Everything else in this world, every great endeavor and effort, is only so useful as it helps people.

If I could go to Egypt and solve any problems, for even a small handful of people, I’d pack a bag right now. I have no idea how I’d get there, but that’s not the point. When I feel that certainty of imperative burning in my spirit, I don’t worry much about earthly consequences, except I would refuse to harm anyone else on the way. I don’t have that driving imperative, so I’m staying where I am.

There is no question the current ruling regime of Egypt is very harmful to the citizens. The protesting is utterly justified. When all you offer is an iron-fisted order, chaos is better. Chaos is not evil, and human nature will guarantee a new order arises every time. The only thing preventing a better order arising is some other thug trying to gain oppressive control over the same people. Once they get rid of one thug, so long as they perceive any new leader as no better, chaos will be the result.

That is, unless they are meek and stupid like most Americans. My fellow Americans are mostly drugged out or in some other way living in a fantasy. So they either wish this protesting in Egypt would go away, and fearfully wonder whether it could spread to other places, like maybe — God forbid — here, or they are cheering as they would for their favorite home team in the Super Bowl. It’s very entertaining for a day or two. And if something new happens, it remains somewhat entertaining. Meanwhile, our very own president has threatened to ignore a valid court judgment, usurping the Constitutional separation of powers. This talk of forcing through his health care abomination regardless of any judges’ rulings is a genuine constitutional crisis. Nobody much notices. You certainly won’t get that from the mainstream news, and most Americans hardly understand the issues. They are more worried about the bread and circuses.

Today in Egypt the hired thugs have begun a counter-protest, but using weapons. To be honest, I don’t know enough details about Egypt to do much more than observe. The point is, I know I don’t know. I know I could read an awful lot of stuff and maybe get some idea of what’s going on, but I’m not sure my intellect is big enough to make much of it, short of embarking on a Masters level college course on Egyptian history, culture and politics, by which time they would have settled into some new routine. I am not driven to know Egypt that well. What I do know very well is human nature, and what is the most beneficial handling of human needs. The degree I already have covers that.

What I do understand covers Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, and all the other countries as well. The political details will always elude us, because we can’t be there on the ground in each country. Even those already there may not really know, and talking heads on TV most certainly do not really know. That much is unshakably certain, because that’s human nature. I’ve already written at length what is necessary for a good life on this earth, at both the individual and governmental level. So while I admit there is an entertainment factor in the news reports, from any source you choose regarding all the protests and revolutions, I don’t cheer them on.

That’s because things being what they are, as long as nobody is fighting for the right stuff, whatever they end up with won’t be that much better in the long run. The protests are justified, and even so much as Egyptians lynching the police forces, particularly the security police, is fully just and right in God’s eyes. But that won’t bring much more than temporary relief. Not because the forces of evil are so almighty powerful, but they are stronger than any effort to throw them off so long as those efforts don’t aim at something genuinely better. What I fully understand already is the underlying moral fabric of the cosmos, and they aren’t even trying to grab hold of that. There are elements of truth in what they seek, but they don’t want enough of that truth to expect a good result.

Some will win good results from all this rioting; most will lose. Whether Mubarak steps down or continues his tyranny, Egypt will not likely get good government any time soon. Nor will we. But because the whole Creation is currently convulsing over a great weight of injustice and evil, there will be a lot of unrest everywhere in the world for a good long while. We live in interesting times, very entertaining, but there’s nothing worth cheering.

No Debian for the Clueless

Posted on February 1, 2011 by ehurst

It crossed my mind I could start a new project. Given Debian was about to release their newest — “Squeeze” 6.0 — and I wanted to install it on my laptop, it seemed I might write a few articles here about it. But it’s crazy.

There are a lot of Debian users in the world, and they all seem to write little HOWTOs and tips. The documentation for Debian-related stuff is massive on the Net. The biggest problem is simply learning enough about Linux in general, because Debian does not offer a single unified tool for system configuration. You really have to know a lot about each individual item in order to even know what you want to configure.

I didn’t have any trouble installing the Squeeze RC-2, just a single hiccup when it couldn’t quite wipe the Win7 NTFS partition cleanly. I’d swear Win7 tries to do something crazy to hard drives so nothing else can use them — ever. But I got it installed without any further drama and everything works fine. Still, I realized how much I took for granted knowing about when I started writing notes. By the time I could simplify it down for the clueless, it would be a book.

Further, the dead-tree books on Linux are always obsolete by the time you see them in the stores. It’s a moving target, and it seems to be getting faster every year.

At any rate, Debian is not for newbies who don’t have someone to hold their hand. I really like it, and it’s support is almost as long as for RHEL and clones. It’s very hackable (hacking in the harmless sense). But I would have to set up a long series of classes to teach Debian to folks who hadn’t experienced Linux before. I’d be teaching a lot of generic Linux first, because Debian is pretty generic.

On top of that, a lot of serious Debian fans already hate my writing, so it’s not as if I could draw a bunch of traffic here from them. I suppose it’s because I’m not a part of the Church of Debian. Still, I can recommend it to those with a thirst for computer knowledge and experience with Linux.

Update: I’m already getting belligerent comments from the Church of Debian devotees. If you are one of those, don’t bother commenting, because I’ll delete it.

Don’t Trust Them

Posted on January 31, 2011 by ehurst

As many people do, I read news on the Web. I don’t have time to read everything offered by most of the news agencies. Nor would I trust their instincts about what is news and what is just a story. I read a few because they seem to have a knack for picking up on stuff which is very popular with journalists around the world, so I’ll know what they are lying about today: BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and a couple of local TV station websites. Just so I know what the controlled opposition has to say, I check Drudge Report, too. Fox News websites usually exhibit such poor design, I just don’t bother.

Then I check a few news aggregation sites. Most of them give ample room to conspiracy theories, and I want to keep an eye on what the alternative news hounds want us to believe. But because so many of them are just another form of controlled opposition, it isn’t quite so easy to pick and choose whom to trust. A few you should obviously never trust is the likes of Alex Jones, anyone who gives space to Sorcha Faal, Greg Palast and others of that ilk.

What’s left is still a pretty broad selection, and I am sure I haven’t found all the decent ones, but I have discarded a few who finally revealed their colors as untrustworthy. In general, I would say to anyone who wants me to read their site, these are some of the tests I use.

1. If you embrace the official reports for 9/11, you are either abysmally ignorant of physics or intellectually dishonest. Either way, it causes me to doubt you know enough to talk about anything at all. We can debate all year what did happen, but we should all see easily what did not happen, and burning jet fuel did not bring down the towers.

2. If you can’t bring yourself to talk about how Israel’s government is creating serious problems for the rest of the world, you need to stop talking about those problems. This is not about Jews nor the Holocaust, but about a ruling elite who are too obviously psychopaths, the same ones ruling the US.

3. If you promote political involvement in the US election process, you aren’t smart enough to advise me on anything useful. Stick with trading recipes or dog grooming tips, something safe.

4. If you believe we are now recovering from a recession, or will soon do so, you don’t understand economics. Okay, maybe you are a professional liar about economics, but either way, no one should trust you. If you believe the financiers and bankers aren’t at fault for the mortgage crash, you must be one of them.

5. I don’t care where Obama was born, nor who his father actually was. But if you take him seriously, and believe he is going to do anything good at all for the citizens of the US, or any other country, you are more dangerous than he is. There is no way I will take you seriously about anything. Tell me the sky is blue and I’ll look outside the make sure. You might as well tell me unicorns fly and fart rainbows.

6. If you are utterly certain the world’s ruling elite are all one unified group of evil psychopaths, you need to go back to school. They are there, and awfully intelligent, and psychopaths, with all their secrets and powers, but they are hardly united. Nor will they ever be united. The Jesuits do not rule the world, but they probably would like doing so, and do rule parts of it. The Masons might have been pretty fearsome at one time, but their direct influence is dying. Folks still use their organization to mask evil, but the bulk of the Masons are just weirdos. The CFR, Bilderbergers, Trilaterals, Club of Rome, and similar folks are the snotty elite of olden times, but their grip is tenuous. They don’t actually control their own thugs. The CIA, Mossad, MI6 and similar agencies are pretending to serve some of the others, but actually have their own agenda. All of them are horrifically evil, and we could blame them for 99% of all human misery today, but that is in part because they are not united. How it is they compete without destroying each other outright is anybody’s guess, but they aren’t all one thing.

7. If you trust me to tell you what really matters, you are crazier than I am.

We Got Troubles

Posted on January 30, 2011 by ehurst

Locally here, we’ve been promised to get a piece of the same snow storm about to hit a big chunk of the US. Oklahoma seldom gets that kind of stuff, and we don’t invest that much in the requisite equipment, so we can expect major road and transportation issues. School closures will be a prominent feature of the coming week.

Meanwhile, our thug in Tunisia is out, and his would-be replacement is faring no better, since he wants to keep his under-thugs on staff. Egypt will also toss our thug there, but they got another one in line who only appears nicer. El Baradei is the CFR-Bilberberg candidate, but it seems the protesting Egyptians are fooled by him. Some of our other thugs in that part of the world are also in trouble. Oh, wait — it seems a large portion of the US population now realizes they aren’t our thugs, but clients of the ruling regime of thugs over us, too. Yeah, it’s one big thug club, and we aren’t in it.

For now, the Americans are too highly conditioned to follow the examples in Tunisia and Egypt in such numbers. We have a century of enstupiating mal-education and entertainment. We got fluoride in our water, which the Nazis discovered was a great way of controlling the masses, making them less likely to pay much attention to oppression. It’s like the fish, shrimp, and so forth who swim in our massive pharmacological pollution and start acting stupid, making themselves easy targets for predators. Except that pollution is what leaks into the waters from us, as we consume vast quantities of these drugs. All legally, of course. Or it leaks into the water from our industrial slaughter animal factories (AKA CAFOs). Steaks or chops, anyone?

Well, with prices being driven up on commodities speculation, food will inflate faster than the rest of the economy. That’s rather like fuel, as well, which just recently took a big jump. These two items alone can make or break the more personal economics of average folks. So while there are all sorts of efforts to keep us lethargic and staring uncomprehendingly at most of what goes on around us in the rest of the world, that rumbling of thousands of empty stomachs will eventually be the rumbling of riots, and the rumbling of The Fed’s printing presses will be drowned out.

Now, here in the Heartland, we grow most of what is eaten in those megalopolis strips along our sea shores. We also produce a lot of the oil and gas they burn. If there is going to be serious trouble, it will be in those places where the urbanization stretches for hundreds of miles in all directions. There is no place to grow their food, so it has to be brought in from places like where I live. We are all too glad to send that stuff, but we need to be paid, and an awful lot of those urban folks are without jobs. If they start to riot, there really won’t be any place to send that stuff, since it can’t be transported in through such a mess.

We got troubles, but I think this is a pretty safe place to be while they get worse.

RHEL 6 for the Clueless: LibreOffice as Update

Posted on January 28, 2011 by ehurst

Today Red Hat issued a security update for Open Office on all three versions which had it (4, 5, & 6). If you don’t have access to RHN, you would be crazy to try building it from the SRPM. Frankly, you’d be crazy for not updating to the latest version now supplied by Libre Office.

(Update: Please note the advice offered below in the comments, and avoid using the latest version of Java 1.7. The latest updated version of 1.6 is still available and is preferred.)

Get it here. You’ll need both the main package and the help files. Open a Terminal window and login as root. Place them in a convenient directory. I generally use /home/bkup for stuff like this. When you install RHEL with the default configuration, it gives most of the disk space to a partition for home, where all the user directories are kept. Unless you have a half-terabyte or more, the other primary partition isn’t big enough for too much storage. Remove your old version of Open Office if you have it:

yum remove openoffice*

You’ll be shown a list of files being deleted. Do it. So you get it in that directory where you moved those two files, and you’ll need to open them up:

tar -xvfz LibO_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz tar -xvfz LibO_3.3.0_Linux_x86_helppack-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

This will create two folders with matching long names on them. Start with the installer. Move down into the folder and you’ll see:

ls readmes RPMS update

You can drop down into the readmes and take a look at the file there, but I’ll save you some time. Drop down into the RPMS folder. The “update” is a script we won’t be using. Inside the RPMS folder is a whole bunch of oddly named RPMs. We’ll keep this simple. In order to install these packages, which did not come from Red Hat, we’ll need to tell Yum to skip the signature checks, because we already know we can trust the good folks at Libre Office.

yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm

On the the Linux command line, that asterisk is a symbol which means “match all” and we qualify that with the “.rpm” so it matches all the RPMs in the current folder. Yum will run through all the RPMs and check that they match up, then ask you to make sure you want to do it. You do, so hit “y”. Now move into the folder which holds the menu integration RPMs:

cd desktop-integration

Here, we need the package which integrates with the Red Hat menu system for your desktop, and we’ll tell Yum the same thing about that package, not checking the signature:

yum install --nogpgcheck libreoffice3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-6.noarch.rpm

Move up three layers, then down into the other folder with the RPMs:

cd ../../../LibO_3.3.0rc4_Linux_x86_helppack-rpm_en-US/RPMS

We need a similar incantation for this single RPM as we did the others:

yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm

You’re almost done. I’m not sure where it came from, but there is an odd glitch in how this actually configures the menu. In mine, at least, I got duplicate entries, with one set for the new Libre Office 3.3, and another for the old Open Office 3.2. This stuff happens from time to time, and it’s why I advised adding the Alacarte menu editor in my installation tutorial.

Right-click on your “Applications” menu and select “Edit Menus”. In the window which opens, on the left pane select “Office” and you’ll see the list on the right pane. For all the items labeled “OpenOffice.org” simply click to remove the check marks. They are the ones missing the icons. This will hide them as menu entries. All that’s left is the newly installed LibreOffice stuff. You’re done. Enjoy.

Poor Man’s Windows Server: zPanel and WAMP

Posted on January 27, 2011 by ehurst

Update: The ZPanel site has moved to here to take advantage of Sourceforge hosting. See the comment below.

(Original post begins below.)

So you have this Windows machine, and you really have to have a server. It’s not necessary to spend thousands of dollars on all those fancy licenses and wade through complicated setup and maintenance procedures. You can get the stuff for free and works well enough.

With Linux, you’ll often hear of the LAMP stack — Linux, Apache webserver, MySQL database and PHP. There is also a WAMP stack, with pretty much the same stuff. While I still highly recommend Webmin for Linux, and it will work on Windows, it won’t work as well. There are fewer modules for Windows, and you’ll need a different collection of servers not covered by Webmin. So I recommend zPanel. It’s not as fancy and commercially slick as cPanel, but zPanel is free and it will get you past the worst of the configuration details.

You can find the zPanel documentation here. They used to offer a brief tutorial on setting up a server to run from your home, but their documentation is currently being rewritten (you can find several guides by others using your favorite search engine). If you want to see some older documentation, I highly recommend you see this video tutorial at YouTube because there were a few gotchas in the process. However, what might interest you the most is how zPanel installs Apache, MySQL, and hMailServer for you, and configures them for use. If you need to run an FTP server, it works best with FileZilla server, which is also free.

No, there is no Samba server setup, because Windows does file and printer sharing natively. Tutorials are all over the Net, and it only takes few minutes.
