Install pulseaudio-module-raop
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-raop
Install paprefs
$ sudo apt-get install paprefs
$ paprefs
In “Network Access Tab”, check both:
Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally
Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally
System’s sound setting allows you to choose AirTunes sound device as output.
Task Scheduler GUI on Windows XP does not appear to allow us to set a job every 5 minutes.
Instead, schtasks command allows cron-like setting.
To set a job (a batch file) to run every 5 minutes, here’s a sample command.
C:\>schtasks /Create /SC MINUTE /MO 5 /TN yourjob_every5min.bat /TR C:\yourfolder\yourbatchfile.bat
When I installed Debian 5.05 (Lenny) onto a machine with an old motherboard, ASUS CUSL2-C (2000 or 2001 model), I got the following Grub error.
Grub Stage 1.5
Grub Loading, Please Wait
Error 18
My initial configuration was to use an entire HDD (one partition for the mountpoint / and another for swap).
According to the web page below, I made a separate /boot partition with 200MB, from the root (/) partition, placing the /boot at the first partition (/dev/hda1) of the HDD.
Then, base system installation was completed with GUI installation and Debian was successfully booted.
Motherboard: ASUS CUSL2-C (BIOS 1009, which is the latest release)
HDD: Hitachi HTS541616J9AT00 (160GB)
Incidentally, with this motherboard with Matrox G400 Video card, X window was not configured properly, and I am still researching.
This is a note when I installed Hadoop on a single machine (standalone).
I followed Hadoop Quick Start available at:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/quickstart.html
Check Java version — Java 1.6.x is required, and Sun version is preferred. See:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/quickstart.html
Download hadoop-0.20.2.tar.gz from:
http://hadoop.apache.org/mapreduce/releases.html#Download
$ tar xvzf hadoop-0.20.2.tar.gz
Skip rsync and ssh installation, as they are already available on the machine.
// Check the command usage:
$ cd hadoop-0.20.2
$ bin/hadoop
Usage: hadoop [–config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
namenode -format format the DFS filesystem
secondarynamenode run the DFS secondary namenode
namenode run the DFS namenode
datanode run a DFS datanode
dfsadmin run a DFS admin client
mradmin run a Map-Reduce admin client
fsck run a DFS filesystem checking utility
fs run a generic filesystem user client
balancer run a cluster balancing utility
jobtracker run the MapReduce job Tracker node
pipes run a Pipes job
tasktracker run a MapReduce task Tracker node
job manipulate MapReduce jobs
queue get information regarding JobQueues
version print the version
jar run a jar file
distcp copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME * create a hadoop archive
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
or
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.

GCJ (GNU Compiler for Java) can be installed on Ubuntu Linux with the following command.
$ sudo apt-get install gcj
This worked on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04.
To use it, (assuming you have a package and classes as specified,)
$ gcj -o yourcommandname –main=packagename.MainClassName packagename/OtherClassName.java packagename/MainClassName.java
x3270 can be installed on CentOS 5.4 with the following commands.
# yum update
# yum install x3270 x3270-text x3270-x11
DRBL Package makes it much easier to implement Linux diskless client environment than setting up TFTP, DHCP, NFS, NAT-router, netboot-enabled kernels, and so on individually.
For complete steps, refer to http://drbl.sourceforge.net/ .
Here’s the step-by-step record of mine.
I used Xubuntu 9.10 as a host, however, other Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) should be very similar, unless identical.
DRBL is also available for other distributions such as Fedora, Debian, etc.

## When the server gets updated packages, the step above needs to be done again, according to the instruction.
Now, the server is ready for PXE-booting the clients.
This is my record when I installed Canon LaserShot LBP3000 Printer Driver on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Karmic Koala) 32bit.
[May 4, 2010] The following steps worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
Download CAPT Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.00 from Canon.
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/drv_linux.html
Just follow the steps written in the installation manual by Canon.
I encountered one minor error. See below.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cupsys
$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_2.00-2_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_2.00-2_i386.deb
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
sudo: /etc/init.d/cupsys: command not found
I got an error at the step above. So, executed the following line.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]
$ sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3000 -m CNCUPSLBP3000CAPTJ.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E

$ sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3000 -o /dev/usblp0

That’s all. Sharing the printer with Samba is fairly straightforward.
It’s as simple as:
1. Enable Samba Sharing. (If you enable one Samba Shared Folder with GUI, it will install Samba if you haven’t.)
2. Share the Printer on Samba – In the printer configuration menu, right click the printer and enable sharing.
Ubuntu Linux can be remotely accessed via XDMCP as follows.
I used:
XDMCP Server: Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Netbook Remix
XDMCP Client: Ubuntu Linux 9.10 64bit
however, I believe this configuration can be used for other Ubuntu families, too.
[Server]
Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and set [xdmcp] section as follows.
$ cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
Restart gdm.
$ /etc/init.d/gdm restart
(If you are using local GNOME, it will restart your current GNOME　Desktop, too.)

$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr
$ Xephyr -ac -screen 1280×768 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :2 &
$ echo $DISPLAY
— This is to restore the $DISPLAY later.
Set the $DISPLAY value to.
$ export DISPLAY=:2.0
This :2.0 needs to match with the Xephyr command line argument above.
$ ssh -XfC -c blowfish username@hostname_or_IPaddress gnome-session
will start the GNOME session in the Xephyr window.
Restore the $DISPLAY variable.
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
There were two odd folders on Windows 7.
$INPLACE.~TR and $WINDOWS.~Q
I learned that these folders can be deleted following the instructions below, and deleted them myself.
No trouble at all.
