VirtualBox by Sun

VirtuaBox :

Sun took over Innotek VBox. Master class product to use multiple OSs on Linux box. I have became huge fan when I tried it. Most imp thing is no sign up, trial version OR registration headache.. Goes very well as open source.

As Linux user, I had limitation while using Microsoft supported stuff. As company intranet & many websites are still IE crazy. I installed Xp with Vbox on my Linux FC6.

Win Xp on Linux Box :



Its was of great use when I started playing Counter Strike. I can start Vbox & play CS. Only you need to care is space & physical memory allocated should be good enough to do your stuff on VBox.

If you go for multiple OS on Vbox.. Physical memory allowed to allocate reduces as underlined OS need to have enough memory..

Guys you can enjoy all your games, movie, other utils of Win environment which may not work in Linux with WINE. Most of n/w stuff don't work with WINE.

Enjoy !
Keep posted if any issue.

micro emulator on FC6 Linux

Micro emulator :

Tried hands on java-j2me emulator on linux machine. Its also helpful in j2me development & trying out small java apps.

To add micro emulator as command in linux, put below lines in a file named microemulator. change permissions to executable. put the file in system path ie /usr/bin or any bin path

Command can set user-agent as "Nokia6030" same can be changed to any phone. Using proxy to connect net. Assuming microemulator is installed at path /opt/microemulator-2.0.1/
======================================================================
java -Dhttp.agent="Nokia6030/Nokia" -Dhttp.proxyHost= -Dhttp.proxyPort= -Xms32m -Xmx64m -jar /opt/microemulator-2.0.1/microemulator.jar -cp /opt/microemulator-2.0.1/lib/t/microemu-nokia-120.jar $1

kudzu FC8 Eth1 Linux

Another post on linux after long time.

My friend Chinmay had issue with RealTek NIC on FC8. This guy had already destroyed 2 NIC on same machine. After opening the box, he placed the NIC on 2nd Ethernet slot on mother board. Rebooting machine didn't showed the eth1.

Followed the below steps to add the device :

1. First command to run after new h/w addition in any linux box : kudzu

2. kudzu detected the Ethernet card and added it in but couldn't show it when seen with ifconfig as eth1 config file was not on place.

3. I checked MAC of card with ifconfig -a , device was with name tmp_sakjdh132 ..
4. Created copy of eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcnf-eth0.conf to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcnf-eth1.conf

5. Changes MAC in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcnf-eth1.conf .

6. /etc/init.d/network restart solved all issue.

ifconfig showed eth1 with valid IP

Thats all !
Chinmay was than back to work. Trying to damage 3rd NIC card on his machine ;)

Ssh on Mobile !

Guys,

Many of mobile phone user wish to access their server through Ssh proto. I got something for you. Only thing you should have is basic midp1.0 supported phone

You can download the app from http://www.xk72.com/midpssh/download.php here . Depending on phone capabilily you should donwload java/midp app.

Only you need is Gprs connectivity to download and connect the server. App has nice functionality like macro, store session, font change.

Here are some screen shots :

Top command o/p on N72 with midp ssh. I even have putty for Symbian client. But I think this is the best ssh client.

Another with dynamic screen. I feel only drawback is connectivity handled by java. S60 Putty work in better manner for connectivity.. Its bit obvious as java has to access native API of Symbian/Proprietor OS of the Phone.

You can download Putty for S60 from here

Download Page S60

If you are facing any connectivity issue.. Let me know. Would like to share some more stuff.. :)

Pls make sure you have unlimited data plan for GPRS access. :) ... Should not get heart attach on seeing mobile bill ;)

Enjoy
