PunBB + Python = PynBB (Linked)

I say:

Is a great honor to me, you linked my python script (PynBB) to the wiki of PunBB

I will continue learing python and punbb source code to give more options to this script

Thanks.

rubygems-update issue on Ubuntu

If you have this problem on your computer:

sudo gem update --system
Updating RubyGems
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
Updating rubygems-update
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    could not find rubygems-update locally or in a repository

The problem is RubyGems you need to install manually or use this script solution:

#!/bin/bash
#(download the latest on http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126)
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/43984/rubygems-update-1.3.0.gem
sudo gem install rubygems-update-1.3.0.gem
sudo update_rubygems
# now this work:
sudo gem update --system
echo "done."

I found this solution on this web:

qTranslate Tag Cloud Fixed

If you have qTranslate plugin for wordpress and you have some issues on your tag cloud.

The problem was that the function that generated the tag cloud in spanish the size of the sources they put comma instead of point

On /wp-includes/category-template.php in function wp_generate_tag_cloud check the line 422, str_replace() fix the problem:

418
419
420
421
422
423
424

	foreach ( $counts as $tag => $count ) {
		$tag_id = $tag_ids[$tag];
		$tag_link = clean_url($tag_links[$tag]);
		$a[] = "<a href='$tag_link' class='tag-link-$tag_id' title='" . attribute_escape( sprintf( __ngettext('%d topic','%d topics',$count), $count ) ) . "'$rel style='font-size: " .
			str_replace(",",".",( $smallest + ( ($count - $min_count ) * $font_step ) ))
			. "$unit;'>$tag</a><!-- $font_step -->";
	}

Toshiba Fan On Ubuntu

You need to install toshset include on toshutils (do you have lm-sensors ?)

sudo apt-get install toshutils

This script make the fan run high, low or normal

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
	h) sudo toshset -fan 4 # high
	;;
	n) sudo toshset -fan 5 # normal
	;;
	l) sudo toshset -fan 6 # low
	;;
esac

If you live in warn places, “~$ script.sh h” could be help you a little don’t use all time this option, to normalize your fan run “~$script.sh n”.

There are other tools on toshset “man toshset”.

MySQL Workbench (Linux)

What is MySQL Workbench ?

MySQL Workbench is a cross-platform, visual database design tool developed by MySQL. It is the highly anticipated successor application of the DBDesigner4 project. MySQL Workbench will be available as a native GUI tool on Window, Linux and OS X.

For Ubuntu (8.04) users i made this install script (run as root):

#!/bin/bash
# This script tested only on Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bits)
# You need some extra libs to run MySQL Workbench
sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0 libzip1 libmysqlclient15off
# Download MySQL Workbench Ubuntu 8.04 Bin Files
wget -c ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz
# Download the md5 checksum file
wget -c ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz.md5
# Check md5sum
real=`md5sum mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz | awk '{ print $1 }'`
confirm=`cat mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz.md5 | awk '{ print $1 }'`
if [ "$real" = "$confirm" ]
then
	# Extract (/usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/lib/mysql-workbench/ /usr/local/share/mysql-workbench/)
	tar xvzf mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz -C /
else
	echo "Wrong MD5, run the script again."
fi

Note: MySQL Workbench is alpha on Linux

PunBB + Python = PynBB

I made this Python script interface of PunBB forums

Download this script: [pynbb.py]

Edit this vars:

# BEGIN OF EDITABLE OPTIONS #
###################################################################
 
HOST = ""	# PunBB WebSite without http:// and slashes
PATH = ""	# Example: domain.com/forum PATH ="/forum"
USER = ""	# Your Username (Important: case sensitive)
PASS = ""	# Your Password
 
###################################################################
# END OF EDITABLE OPTIONS #

Run:

python pynbb.py

Note: Does’t work when the forum uses clean urls (maybe in the next release)
