RPM manipulation

rpm -qlp myrpmfile.rpm

View files of an already installed RPM:

rpm -ql packagename

To list all packages installed on the systel

rpm -qa

To list all packages related to the name glibc (for example):

rpm -qa glibc

To know which package(s) provided a specific file:

rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-linux5E/lib64/

Edit rpm

Sometime you will need to edit and rpm (for example, some guy who made the rpm inside your company made a mistake in versions and you cannot install the damn thing). Get rpmrebuild from here : http://rpmrebuild.sourceforge.net/

Install manually the rpmrebuild:

yum localinstall rpmrebuild-2.11-1.noarch.rpm

Then edit the rpm using :

rpmrebuild -e -p --notest-install myrpm.rpm

You will be able to edit spec (vim editor), then save changes to a new rpm. Enjoy !! More info here : http://magazine.redhat.com/2007/12/04/hacking-rpms-with-rpmrebuild/

Ubuntu 12.04.3 on Via C7 VX855

To install ubuntu 12.04.3 on a Via C7 VX855.

Download the x86 alternate cd iso. Do not use the mini iso (minimal image), it will freeze at repository check.
Use unetbootin and the iso to creat a bootable disk.
Boot on the USB key. (For my Wyse C90LE, I had to press P when starting. Del for the bios, with password Fireport)
When booting on the usb key, press F4 and choose a command line install.
Then choose install ubuntu.
Go through the process.
When system is installed, boot, login, and :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xfce4
sudo reboot

Then, at next login, login and launche XFCE :

startx

The system has already chosen the Chromium driver for the Via chipset.

Now, to activate sound, you have to install pulseaudio. Then, you can install xfce4-desktop if you want.

SEO :

Remove PHP sessions id :

Add ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', ''); to /conf/local.php file.

Set index to 2 h (admin → config → spam : 24*24*2)
Rewrite URL, (admin → config) use internal dokuwiki mode, then enable slash usage instead of double dot, and to redirect all http: to htttp:wwww. add in .htaccess :

## force http:// vers http://www.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^spheniscus.brennik.fr [nocase]
RewriteRule ^(.*)         http://www.spheniscus.brennik.fr/$1 [last,redirect=301]

Set doku.php as default index file, in .htaccess, add : DirectoryIndex doku.php

Then add robot.txt file like :

Sitemap: http://www.spheniscus.brennik.fr/sitemap.xml
User-agent: *
Disallow: /doku.php/software
Disallow: /doku.php/software/development
Disallow: /doku.php/software/algo

Allow: /doku.php/software/development/$
Allow: /doku.php/software/algo/$
Allow: /doku.php/software/image_and_video/$
