LibreOffice installation with PPA on Ubuntu

I love to use LibreOffice on my linux desktop, so I always replace OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice when the desktop was newly installed. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice Now I can use it!

CU: Serial terminal emulator

cu,個人覺得是一個簡單、方便的 serial console 連線工具。 第一次看到是在 debian 上,透過 apt-cache search 找到的工具,裝好就可以用了。後來,在 OpenBSD 上就沒找到 cu。一度以為沒有這個工具,也試著想找它的 source code 來在 OpenBSD 上自編譯、使用未果。 這幾天在試玩新的 OpenBSD 4.8 時,才發現原來早就內建在系統中,我真是後知後覺啊!! orz $ sudo cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s [speed] 超方便,但功能不會陽春哩!

Another chinese input methods in MacPorts

除了內建的和 Yahoo 輸入法之外,在 MacPorts 裡也找到其它可用的選項。 dhcp-22007:~ shawn$ port search "Chinese input method" gcin @1.2.1 (x11) a Chinese input method server. openvanilla @0.7.2 (aqua, textproc) package of popular Chinese input methods Found 2 ports. Wow, gcin 也放進來了! Great job!

Install Pidgin 2.6.4 from source on OpenBSD 4.6

At first, following content is just my experience to install a newer version from source, it may not works as well as you guys used on LINUX. Do following steps: You have to install following packages before you start to compile pidgin! gmake gstreamer gnutls libnss python cyrus-sasl2 tcl/tk farsight Well, a GTK based desktop environment is needed! (I use XFCE4, Gnome is the best!) Download the source from Pidgin's official site Extract the source Run configure with parameters # ./configure --disable-vv --disable-meanwhile --disable-nm --with-gnutls-includes=/usr/local/include --with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5 --with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.4 Compile # gmake Install as root # sudo gmake install If all the procedures are work properly, you can just start pidgin and enjoy it on OpenBSD 4.6 now! :)
