Aprium Software

I was just adding a few images into subversion from the live linux server, when I updated my local copy....BANG! subversion hits me with this error.

svn: Can't move source to dest
svn: Can't move '/.svn/tmp/prop-base/image.gif.svn-base' to '/.svn/prop-base/image.gif.svn-base': No such file or directory

Im using the gedit text editor for the bulk of my php coding. With all the plugins installed its a nifty little editor.

I did find that the syntax colouring was a little 80's. You can change the colour scheme but the others are not much better. To change the colours you have to write an XML colour scheme document.

Have had eclipse setup with all the colours I like and just ported them into the scheme document. I have attached it to this post so feel free to give it a go!

I have been working with Linux for a while now but it has always been confined to server roles. Home installs of Linux distros have always been unstable. My first install of Linux Ubuntu started to boot into black screen after I installed some recommended updates.

My second attempt at Linux failed because the propriety driver for nvidia would give very low resolutions due to the fact that I had bought a modern graphics card.

The cairo-dock is currently in development and is not very user friendly to set up. Here is what i did to get it working. Its great for having an os x like dock running in gnome.

Install Dependencies

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin librsvg2-common librsvg2-dev libglitz-glx1 libglitz-glx1-dev


Get the source and build

cd /usr/local
sudo svn checkout http://cairo-dock.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cairo-dock-read-only
cd cairo-dock-read-only
make
make install


Once you have compiled and installed an application like MySQL or SVN you will need to create a symbolic link so it can be run from anywhere. To run from anywhere the symbolic link will need to link to the /usr/local/bin directory.

Example

ln -s /usr/local/subversion-1.4.5/subversion/svn/svn /usr/local/bin/svn

UnTar

To untar an archive use:

tar xvzf foo.tgz

To untar all tar files in a directory use:

for a in `ls -1 *.tar.gz`; do tar -zxvf $a; done

Tar

To create an archive use:

tar cvzf foo.tgz dir
