cvs server on ubuntu gutsy

Note for my first time setting up cvs server on ubuntu gutsy. CVS, a version control system, allow you to work on sourcecode with your team. To install it on ubuntu, we need two packages from repos, cvs and the wrapper.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo aptitude install cvs cvsd
[sudo] password for pnix:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
cvs cvsd
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1756kB of archives. After unpacking 3973kB will be used.

...
Building tag database... Done
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$

during installation it will ask for repository. I just say '/myrepos'.
next, create repos folder under /var/lib/cvsd and initialize it.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ cd /var/lib/cvsd
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ sudo mkdir myrepos
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ sudo cvs -d /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos init
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ sudo chown -R cvsd:cvsd myrepos
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$

now add new user [change username to what you want]
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ sudo cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos pnix
/usr/sbin/cvsd-passwd: adding user 'pnix' to '/var/lib/cvsd/myrepos/CVSROOT/passwd'
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$


login and checkout test

pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ cd ~/tmp
pnix@pnix-a7n:tmp$ cvs -d :pserver:pnix@localhost:/myrepos login
Logging in to :pserver:pnix@localhost:2401/myrepos
CVS password:
cvs login: CVS password file /home/pnix/.cvspass does not exist - creating a new file
pnix@pnix-a7n:cvsd$ cvs -d :pserver:pnix@localhost:/myrepos checkout .
cvs checkout: Updating .
cvs checkout: Updating CVSROOT

Eclipse test
Eclipse come with CVS support build-in. To use CVS, change the perspective to CVS Repos Exploring. Right click in "CVS Repositories" view choose "New > Repository Location". Enter information for our new CVS server then click "Finish".
That's it. If nothing wrong we just create new repos location and ready for any project to share.

Good tutorial but i have a problem:
when I post
cvs -d :pserver:pnix@localhost:/myrepos login

the answer is :
cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost(127.0.0.1):2401 failed: Connection refused

What can do?

Thank you!

Fixing sendmail take a long time to start

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below. [root@ora10g ~]# newaliases WARNING: local host name (ora10g) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total [root@ora10g ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.55 ora10g [root@ora10g ~]# To fix this, custom hostname[ora10g] need to append to localhost line in /etc/hosts.

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs

Converting dat to mpeg file, to burn vcd on ubuntu

Creating vcd [from dat file] on WinXP, I use "Nero Burning Rom". It can burn dat file to vcd directly. On ubuntu, AFAIK, No burning cd software to burn dat to vcd. I use k3b but it can't burn dat file. It support only mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 format. Dat file need to convert to mpeg first. Thist post will show how I install and use vcdgear to convert dat file to mpeg file. pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz --04:21:14-- http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz => `vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz' Resolving www.vcdgear.com... 66.98.192.104 Connecting to www.vcdgear.com|66.98.192.104|:80... connected.
