Craeating a sequence in OpenOffice.org calc.

2010-05-06 1 min read Linux

Creating a numberd list in the calc with alphabets can be really tiresome sometimes. I found a simple solution to this. Create the numbered list in vim and then paste it into Openoffice.org calc. Here&#8217;s how I do it:

Open vim

type the first in sequence (ex Amit_aga_001)

Follow the below sequence to create a macro:

Esc

[Atl]+q+(any alphabet say &#8217;a&#8217;)  — this will start recording the macro

yy  – yank the current line

Since I updated to the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fedora" title="Fedora" rel="homepage" href="http://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora 13, I was getting error from the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/dynamic_dns" title="Dynamic DNS" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS">Dynamic DNS client for afraid. I was not getting enough time to fix this, so finally I decided to fix this in the night itself 🙂

xterm – select font name and size from command line and set it as default

2010-05-05 2 min read Fedora Linux

I have been very busy last week and specially yesterday with 20 hours of continueous work, but managed to get this working :).

When you right click on Xterm with Ctrl pressed, there pops up a menu for selecting the size of the font. I have always wondered how to set this as default font and/or use this from the command line. So I searched my old homedir and looked for few of the docs that I had to get the information. Here is what I found.

Find out why a program can't seem to access to a file

2010-05-05 2 min read Fedora Linux

$ strace php tias.php -e open,access 2>&1 | <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/grep" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep" title="Grep" rel="wikipedia">grep foo.txt Sometimes a program refuses to read a file and you&#8217;re not sure why. You may have display_errors turned off for <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/php" href="http://www.php.net/" title="PHP" rel="homepage">PHP or something. In this example, fopen(&#8217;/var/www/test/foo.txt&#8217;) was called but doesn&#8217;t have read access to foo.txt.

Strace can tell you what went wrong. E.g., if php doesn&#8217;t have read access to the file, strace will say &#8221;EACCESS (Permission denied)&#8221;. Or, if the <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000220ffa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29" title="Path (computing)" rel="wikipedia">file path you gave doesn&#8217;t exist, strace will say &#8221;ENOENT (No such file or directory)&#8221;, etc.
