Toggle Touchpad Enable & Disable

Here is my simple script to help me toggle touchpad enable & disable in NixOS running on Thinkpad R61.

~/bin/toggleTouchpadEnableDisable

# Try disabling the libinput device.

d=`xinput list | grep -i touchpad | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ tmp=match($i, /id=[0-9]/); if(tmp){print $i} } }' | awk --field-separator== '{ print $2 }'`
echo 'xinput list'
echo " SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad device ID: $d"

# Find the touchpad, in my case it's called "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad", with ID 11.
echo "xinput list-props $d"
de=`xinput list-props $d | grep 'Device Enabled' | awk '{ print $3}' | awk --field-separator=\( '{print $2}' | awk --field-separator=\) '{print $1}'`
ds=`xinput list-props $d | grep 'Device Enabled' | awk '{ print $4}'`
echo " Device Enabled setting ID: $de, Device Enabled status: $ds"

newStatus=0
if [ $ds == 0 ]; then
 #echo "Set new status to: $newStatus"
 newStatus=1
elif [ $ds == 1 ]; then
 #echo "Set new status to: $newStatus"
 newStatus=0
fi

# There should be one called 'Device Enabled'; at least mine has.
echo "xinput set-prop $d $de $newStatus"
xinput set-prop $d $de $newStatus

ds2=`xinput list-props $d | grep 'Device Enabled' | awk '{ print $4}'`
echo " Device Enabled setting ID: $de, Device Enabled status: $ds2"

 

Chocolatey: Package Manager for Windows

While preparing Cikgu JN’s new laptop (refurbish Thinkpad T400), I have amazed that there is opensource package manager and some automation for Windows. The laptop come with Windows 7 Professional.

“Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows (like apt-get or yum but for Windows).” – https://chocolatey.org

Main application interface is command line, but also Chocolatey provide option to install nice graphical tool.

Below is some summary command:

choco install -y vlc
choco install -y firefox libreoffice gimp mame telegram sumatra-pdf chocolateygui
choco upgrade -y firefox
choco upgrade -y all

Reka-bentuk Banglo Kecil v2

Masih belum berpuas hati dengan reka-bentuk banglo kecil yang sebelum ini, Cikgu cuba mereka-bentuk rumah banglo untuk mendapatkan yang lebih sesuai dengan citarasa.

Berikut antara ciri-ciri rumah yang Cikgu ambil perhatian:

• Ruang tamu yang dapat melihat kawasan luar depan dan belakang rumah.
• Saiz rumah yang kecil tetapi selesa.
• Dapur bersaiz penuh.
• Dua bilik mandi; dengan tandas duduk dan tandas cangkung.
• Ruang untuk mesin basuh pakaian.
• Ruang untuk simpan kasut.
• Ruang untuk pejabat/komputer.
• Ruang tamu boleh digunakan untuk solat jemaah, dan juga untuk majlis keramaian.
• Dapur dan meja makan yang agak tersorok dari ruang tamu.
• Pili air di luar pintu masuk depan dan belakang rumah.
• Semua bilik tidur mempunyai tingkap yang sesuai.
• 4 bilik tidur (1 bilik parent, 2 untuk anak lelaki dan anak perempuan, 1 untuk tetamu atau stor).
• Kedudukan bilik-bilik dengan ruang keluarga berkumpul tidak terlalu jauh/terpencil, supaya mudah berinteraksi/bertemu muka dan dapat merapatkan hubungan kekeluargaan.

Ciri-ciri yang terpaksa diketepikan dalam reka-bentuk ini antaranya ialah seperti yang berikut:

• Ruang khas untuk pentry.
• Ruang stor. Untuk ruang stor ini, mungkin boleh diadakan sekalikan dengan garaj kereta. Kontena terpakai juga mungkin boleh diguna sebagai ruang stor.
• Ruang jemuran pakaian selepas basuh untuk dikeringkan, kerana boleh diadakan di luar rumah.
• Attached-garrage for two cars.

My OS Watch List

Berikut adalah senarai opensource OS yang menarik perhatian Cikgu.

• NixOS
• GoboLinux
• ReactOS
• FreeBSD
• Android-x86

 

NixOS (http://nixos.org) ialah distro Linux dengan pendekatan unik untuk pengurusan pakej dan konfigurasi. Dibina di atas pengurus pakej nixpkg, ia benar-benar perisytiharan, menjadikan sistem penaiktarafan boleh dipercayai, dan mempunyai banyak kelebihan lain.

 

GoboLinux (http://www.gobolinux.org/) dan NixOS (http://www.nixos.org/) adalah antara OS yang paling Cikgu teruja. Ini adalah kerana Cikgu sangat tertarik dengan idea kaedah filesystem dan package manager.

NixOS dan GoboLinux pada umumnya bertujuan menyelesaikan masalah kebergantungan antara perisian dengan pelbagai versi, tapi dengan pendekatan atau kaedah berlainan. NixOS membezakan setiap versi perisian dengan gabungan ‘hash dan nama perisian sebagai nama direktori’, manakala Gobolinux membezakan setiap versi perisian dengan ‘nombor versi sebagai nama direktori’.

 

Opensource OS yang seterusnya ialah ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/). ReactOS merupakan operating system yang serupa cara kerja Windows. Secara umumnya, pengguna boleh secara terus menggantikan Windows dengan ReactOS. Buat masa sekarang ReactOS masih lagi dalam proses permulaan pembikinan dan berstatus ‘beta’.

quickhowto: qemu networking using vde, tun/tap, and bridge

Not require to configure firewall/routing. Much more simple to setup. Do not need root privilege to run qemu. Easy to use. Tested and working.

Diagram: qemu vde tun tap bridge

# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# dhclient br0
# vde_tunctl -u testuser -t tap0
# ifconfig tap0 up
# brctl addif br0 tap0
# brctl setfd br0 0

$ vde_switch -d -s /tmp/vde0 -M /tmp/vde0mgmt
$ vde_plug2tap -d -s /tmp/vde0 tap0
