lirc installation on ubuntu 9.10

Finally I was able to make my SONY remote-con and receiver to work on my Ubuntu 9.10.

Hardwares:
SONY VAIO GigaPocket Remote controller RM-GP3 and
SONY VAIO PCVA-IR3U Infrared Receiver

(1) Check whether you have lirc installed.

After lirc was installed.

dpkg -l | grep lirc

ii lirc

(2) Plug in the USB IR unit PCVA-IR3U

Before plug it in, use "dmesg -c" to flush the kernel ring buffer first

# dmesg -c
...
...
...

Plug in the USB IR then run "dmesg -c" again. This will only shows the new devices.

# dmesg -c
[13346.292093] usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[13346.489338] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

(3) check whether /dev/usb/hiddev0 file was created. It should after USB IR was plugged in. If not, maybe try unplug/plug or restart lirc process, using "/etc/init.d/lirc restart" command.

(4) Edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file and update the following entries.

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"

#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Sony USB IR Receiver - or whatever"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

# sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
...

Point RM-GP3 to the receiver and start pressing!

Sorry I will update on how to customize the keys soon...

MBSA offline scanning quick start

Here is the fastest way to get the MBSA offline scanning started

(1) download MBSA 2.1.1 and install on an English XP professional
(2) copy the \Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2\mbsacli.exe and wusscan.dll to USB-storage
(3) download the Offline catalog (Wsusscn2.cab) to USB-storage
(4) cd to USB-storage drive, run "mbsacli.exe /xmlout /catalog wsusscn2.cab /nvc > otuput.txt"

Note: I encountered this error messages "An error occurred while scanning for security updates. (0x80247002)" when running above command on a Windows 2003 server just after SP1->SP2 upgrade.
It was resolved by installing WUA standalone installer for x86.


Here is one good reference site http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302360(printer).aspx

Welcome to the OpenBSD/landisk 4.5 install program.

This program will help you install OpenBSD. At any prompt except password
prompts you can escape to a shell by typing '!'. Default answers are shown
in []'s and are selected by pressing RETURN.  At any time you can exit this
program by pressing Control-C, but exiting during an install can leave your
system in an inconsistent state.

Terminal type? [vt220]

IS YOUR DATA BACKED UP? As with anything that modifies disk contents, this
program can cause SIGNIFICANT data loss.

It is often helpful to have the installation notes handy. For complex disk
configurations, relevant disk hardware manuals and a calculator are useful.

Proceed with install? [no] yes
Cool! Let's get to it.

You will now initialize the disk(s) that OpenBSD will use. To enable all
available security features you should configure the disk(s) to allow the
creation of separate filesystems for /, /tmp, /var, /usr, and /home.

Available disks are: wd0.
Which one is the root disk? (or 'done') [wd0]
Do you want to use *all* of wd0 for OpenBSD? [no] yes
Putting all of wd0 into an active OpenBSD MBR partition (type 'A6')...done.

You will now create an OpenBSD disklabel inside the OpenBSD MBR
partition. The disklabel defines how OpenBSD splits up the MBR partition
into OpenBSD partitions in which filesystems and swap space are created.

The offsets used in the disklabel are ABSOLUTE, i.e. relative to the
start of the disk, NOT the start of the OpenBSD MBR partition.

# Inside MBR partition 3: type A6 start 63 size 7928865
Treating sectors 63-7928928 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

Initial label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)

Host environemt: OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111b X86
Background: PostgresSQL version 83 install (1) SUNWpostgr-83-server, and (2) SUNWpostgr-83-client

(1) login as root to install both packages
pkg install SUNWpostgr-83-server

(2) verify package installtion
pkginfo | grep postg
system SUNWpostgr-83-client PostgreSQL client tools
system SUNWpostgr-83-libs PostgreSQL client libraries
system SUNWpostgr-83-server PostgreSQL database server
system SUNWpostgr-83-server-data-root PostgreSQL database server data directories and root components

ls /usr/postgres/8.3/
bin/ etc/ lib/ share/

(3) default user (postgres) environment modification; postgres user was created with default home in / (root) and with default shell of /usr/bin/pfksh.
As I would like set shell defaults for user postgres I will need to create a non-root home. I will create it in /export/home/postgres and then create /export/home/postgres/.profile as below;
cat .profile
PATH=/usr/postgres/8.3/bin:${PATH}
MANPATH=/usr/postgres/8.3/man:${MANPATH}
PGDATA=/var/postgres/data
export PATH MANPATH PGDATA

Then I set the default shell to /bin/bash.

(4) The next step is to decide on a directory to create the database and ensure that the permissions are set correctly.
mkdir /var/postgres/data
chown postgres:postgres /var/postgres/data

(5) Login as 'postgres' user to create a database cluster
pfexec su - postgres
-bash-3.2$ which initdb
/usr/postgres/8.3/bin/initdb
-bash-3.2$ initdb -D /var/postgres/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

postgres -D /var/postgres/data
or
pg_ctl -D /var/postgres/data -l logfile start

(6) To start PostgresSQL
pg_ctl -D /var/postgres/data -l postmaster.log start

This will start and create /export/home/postgres/postmaster.log file.


(7) To connect the database called ¨postgres¨ running on a default port
psql postgres
Welcome to psql 8.3.7, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

postgres=#


(8) To stop PostgresSQL
pg_ctl stop
waiting for server to shut down.... done
