PLANET-N::It's Different

Gearing Up

Days are passing by, we are still moving. The pace of life seems greater than the pace of living. There is not much time to catch up everything in life. Gaining and losing are continuous phenomenon of life. This leads to balanced life.

We think some thing to happed but something else happens and we still have to be satisfied. This is what we cannot change throughout the life. It very hard to get what you want out of your life. May be you reach a position a day that you get something of many things you want, but that will not be enough because there are a lot of things you still miss.

Now, its my time to think and follow some alternate path of life. Its time to build up and keep moving at the same pace life moves. I shall try not to achieve all, but the most. I hope I get success in it.

Convocated

The result of 4 years Engineering has come fruitful. It is the convocation that has been held on last Saturday (20th Feb, 2010). We were at Pokhara enjoying post-graduation ceremony. It was a nice short trip. It was very memorable as well. This is the final proof that says that we are graduated officially.

The program was expected to start at 11 A.M. but after all its Nepal, it started at 1:15 P.M. We were hungry and frustrated to wait. That was the most annoying moment.

The best thing was that we had a lot of cameras and even lot poses to the picture. We took singles, doubles and group photos as well. Everyone was enjoying the photo sessions. We had photos with friends, teachers, seniors, other college students and friend’s friends as well. I am collecting pictures to compile them and make up a story with them.

We all enjoyed the moment but because of friends not because of the convocation.

Installing DimDim in Debian Lenny (Stable)

Finally, after a long searching and research, I was successful in installing DimDimv4.5 in my Debian Lenny Stable Version. We have been facing a lot of problems because we needed to use RPM based distros for DimDim but that was not really desirable.

At last I was able to test the installation, but with crashing browsers. All of my browsers crashed after starting the DimDim server. Moreover, other applications didnot open up as well. The terminal was good, nothing happened to it. I just let the DimDim server running and tested it from other PCs.

I had tried the same process of installation in Ubuntu 9.10 but my GUI became unstable. It kept on flickering, I don’t know why.

I strongly recommend to continue this installation in fresh PC. DONOT use development mode PCs.

This is what I did to make my installation. The most of the parts are from a very well complied French tutorial which showed me the way.

I don’t know why, but they need OpenOffice3 as a clear dependency to install DimDim. So grab your copy from here .

Just extract the tar file and install all the debs in the DEBS folder in it.
Note: You must be root.

# tar xvf Ooo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_fr_deb.tar.gz
# cd OOO300_m15_native_packed-1_fr.9379/DEBS/
# dpkg -i *.deb

Install Java 6 Next

# apt-get install sun-java-6

I have heard that SUN has been bought by Oracle, so there may be a different version of this command. Check out your local repo.
Then set some variables and environment for easier future reference.


# echo "JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.12" >> /root/.bashrc
# echo "export JAVA_HOME" >> /root/.bashrc
# echo "PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH" >> /root/.bashrc
# echo "export PATH" >> /root/.bashrc

Some more modules that may or may not trouble you. They troubled me, so it is better to have them in the latest version.

Some Relief with Database Backup

I was very much troubled by the tedious repetitive process of backing up and restoring databases from MySQL database server. Shiva found out a script which was good to take the daily backup according to dates, but restoring them was still the headache.

Today, I came across a switch to be used with MySQL so that we can easily backup all databases and restore them very easily as well.
Here is the trick that I wanted to share.

First of all backup the database into a SQL file by doing this:

crackjack@planetn# mysqldump -u <mysql_user> -p<mysql_pass> --all-databases > all_db_backup.sql

Then you will have the SQL file in your computer which you can copy to the machine where you need to restore the database to.

In the remote machine you can do this to restore the database:

crackjack@planetn# mysql -u <mysql_user>  -p<mysql_pass>

Now you will be greeted with a prompt like this:

mysql>

There you need to import the SQL file like this:

mysql>source <path_to_sql_file>;

NOTE: You need to notice that there is no space between -p and password field.

Change of Gears

Suddenly, I have started to feel that we have a change of gears in our professional life. As the positive vibes has already started to flow around, we are very determined to gain the achievement we were dreaming of. It seems that life is gonna shift into another instance.

“Team 9″ is a good name to start with because “we are expanding you”. The dedication should be better that ever before and it should always remain the same. This time life is giving an extra opportunity that we cannot afford to lose. I’m gonna grab that and really start to flow into the current.

I hope this one goes well and well enough to change the gears.
