rtorrent after upgrade to current 64

2011-03-31T12:35:00.000-07:00

In short - rtorretn compule wtih his LIB and crash with nasty errors.

I try everything known: SVN earlier versions nothing help!

At the very end of my misery i found patches - i don't know how to get and use them from this site but:

Download current - as full package with all SlackBuids in it.
"http://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/snapshot/current-20110329.1.tar.gz"

Get new one - this from above is only for example, from:

http://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/

untar

find builds for:
libtorrent
download libtorrent
sh ...( slackbuild like root)
install package that will find in /tmp

ldconfig - just for safety

do the same for
rtorrent

install again package from /tmp

that's all

Now will search what this people do to make my torrents happy.

wrt54g v 2.0 howto

2010-06-25T02:07:00.000-07:00

1.
get this:
http://open-wrt.ru/downloads/kamikaze/8.09.2/brcm-2.4/openwrt-wr850g-squashfs.bin

on some linux do:
dd if=firmware.bin of=firmware.trx bs=32 skip=1

wget firmware.trx on /tmp of wrt54g

http://nuwiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/OpenWrtDocs/Deinstalling

mtd -e linux -r write firmware.trx linux

and

reboot

2.
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless/encryption

root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk2
root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key="your_password"
root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit wireless
root@OpenWrt:~# wifi

Configuration is also possible via direct editing of /etc/config/wireless

at end:
uci commit wireless

uci set wireless.@wifi-device[0].disabled=0 - can be other variable SEARCH disabled
uci show | grep disabled

and start it with

wifi


set new password for root with
password - this activate sshd after reboot and disable telnet

reenable dnsmasq and httpd and any in this dir /etc/rc.d/
with
/etc/rc.d/name enable
It may seems that some of them are started but it's not so enable one by one.
Because wireless work devices are connected but can't get IP.

add your rules in
/etc/rc.local

opkg update
opkg upgrade
opkg list - for packages
opkg install name of package

You may need more of iptables pakages for TTL or some filtering or shaping !
They are named with "extra" at end



http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci

Add a firewall rule

This is a good example of both adding a firewall rule to forward the TCP SSH port, and of the negative (-1) syntax used with uci.

uci add firewall rule uci set firewall.@rule[-1].src=wan

uci set firewall.@rule[-1].target=ACCEPT

uci set firewall.@rule[-1].proto=tcp

uci set firewall.@rule[-1].dest_port=22

uci commit firewall


change the wan MAC address.

/etc/config/network you can run the commands below to change the wan
MAC address.
uci set network.wan.macaddr=""
uci commit network
ifdown wan && ifup wan

2.6.33 and 2.6.34 kernel suspend hibernate trouble

2010-06-08T01:14:00.000-07:00

For 2.6.33: USB3 module is: xhci
For 2.6.34: USB3 module is: xhci_hcd

Before start suspend:

rmmod xhci_hcd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd forcedeth hangcheck-timer usbcore

After resume must:

modprobe usbcore
modprobe xhci_hcd
modprobe ehci_hcd
modprobe ohci_hcd
modprobe forcedeth
modprobe hangcheck-timer

Usually script's know for all this but not for USB3. And you will see this error:
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/pm-functions: line 295: echo: write error: Input/output error
or
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/pm-functions: line 295: echo: write error: No such file or directory

or similar. This is not a bug. This is caused from:

kernel: hub 6-0:1.0: cannot reset port 1 (err = -19)
kernel: hub 6-0:1.0: cannot disable port 1 (err = -19)

PM: Device usb2 failed to freeze async: error -2
kernel: PM: Device usb2 failed to suspend async: error -2
kernel: PM: Some devices failed to suspend

It can be seen in Slackware log's after : pm-suspend
this command produce very helpful LOG.

Bluetooth slackware logitech hidd devices

2009-12-11T09:44:00.000-08:00

MX5000
1. Unplug USB dongle
2. Press and hold RED BUTTON
3. Plug usb back

lsusb - on terminal - mus see sometig like that ot without

Bus 005 Device 007: ID 046d:0b02 Logitech, Inc. BT Mini-Receiver (HID proxy mode)

edit: "/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf"
and add:

device 00:07:61:48:34:A2 {
name "Logitech MX1000 mouse";

}
and for keyboard too.
00:07:61:48:34:A2 - this is MAC address of Mouse that can be seen with :

edit: "/etc/bluetooth/main.conf"
and add:
DisablePlugins = network - for Slackware may be other distro too
if this not help and
hcid not load delete plugin from:
/usr/lib/bluetooth/plugins/network.so
This problem appears in some version of Bluez. If have some experience with manualy compiling try some versions from this site "http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/".

edit: "/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth.conf" and
add or change to:
HIDD_ENABLE=true
HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --server" or
"HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --connect 00:07:61:45:AF:A3 --server"" where 00:07:61:45:AF:A3 is MAC of your mouse and keyboard that you add in
"/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf"

HID2HCI_ENABLE=true - here is the place to say this way is the same way that Logitech use to connect devices like HIDD one. Simply You control this now, and may use Your Bluetooth dobgle for other devices let say Mobile too.
Other way is when you use :
hid2hci -v046d -pc709 -m logitech - here i not discus this but you can try it.

restart Bluetooth:
/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart - for slackware
do - and must see:
ps xa | grep hidd
15443 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/hidd --master --server
and do the same for "hcid" must see him too

after that:
1. hciconfig hci0 up
2. hciconfig hci0 -a
and hcitool scan
3. hidd --search - RED BUTTON on the Mouse and Keyboard must be pressed while do that if you not have 3 hand do it one by one
4. Hold The BUTTON and hidd --connect 00:07:61:45:AF:A3 one boy one for MAuse nad Keyboard
If they are connected and your X is fine use it :).
in Some cases you must restart X or define them in x.org.
for You help use:
udevadm info -a -p `udevadm info -q path -n /dev/input/eventX` | less
to see devices "eventX" must be replaced.

After that look at the
top and see if hcid eat all your CPU kill it. In this case you not use it.

VIM running external commands

2009-09-08T22:41:00.000-07:00

From :

http://www.softpanorama.org/Editors/Vimorama/vim_running_external_commands.shtml

VIM running external commands

Vim is a powerful editing tool, but there are some things it just can't do. However, Vim lets you access shell commands and utilities without leaving Vim, and that lets you perform some amazing tricks.

If you run :shell or just :sh while you're in the editor, Vim (or Gvim, if you're partial to Vim's GUI) will place you in an interactive shell. You can run whatever commands you want, and resume your Vim session by exiting the shell.

As most other *nix applications, you can also pause Vim with Ctrl-z, which will drop you back to the shell. When you're finished, you can resume Vim with fg. (This is a feature of the shell, not a Vim feature.)

Have you ever started editing a file, made a bunch of changes, and then typed :w to write your changes, only to find that the file is read-only? You can deal with that in a couple of ways, but one of the easiest things to do is to invoke a shell from within Vim and change the file's permissions before you save it again.

Bang!

Vim also allows you to execute a command directly from the editor, without needing to drop to a shell, by using bang (!) followed by the command to be run. For instance, if you're editing a file in Vim and want to find out how many words are in the file, run

:! wc %

This tells Vim to run the file (%) through the wc utility and report the results. Vim will display the command output at the bottom of the editing window until you press Enter. Note that this command runs the file through the command, and not the contents of the buffer -- so if you haven't saved recently, it won't report your most recent word count.

Bang works best with non-interactive commands. You wouldn't want to run top or another interactive command using :! command , but you could drop to a shell and run such a command with :sh or Ctrl-z.

The bang command can be useful if you're using Vim for programming. If you're writing a PHP script, for example, you could use PHP's syntax check option (-l) to see if your script has any syntax errors:

:! php5 -l %

If you're working on a script or project, you might want to check it regularly, and with minimal typing. You can scroll through Vim's command history by using the up arrow, but if you just want to rerun the last external command, you can use :!! instead.

Reading command output

Most Vim users are already familiar with using the read command, which inserts text from a specified file into the current buffer, like so:

:r textfile

This is handy, but many users aren't aware that you can also read in the output of shell applications. For example, if you wanted to include a list of files from a specific directory, you could include them using this read command:

:r ! ls -1 /home/user/directory

This tells Vim to execute the command ls -1 /home/user/directory and then redirect the output of that command into the buffer. You could also use this feature to read the text from a Web page into the file that you're editing, using a text-mode browser such as w3m. It's pretty simple to grab a page using w3m and dump it right into your editing session without leaving Vim:

:r ! w3m http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi -dump

The -dump option tells w3m to simply spit out the Web page as plain text and exit.

It's also possible to execute multiple commands to process your text before reading it into Vim. A simple example would be to list the directory contents, then pipe the output to the sort command to sort the filenames in reverse order, before inserting the text into the current buffer:

:r ! ls -1 /home/user/directory | sort -r

The read command can also come in handy if you're prepping an incident report from server logs. Let's say you wanted to include all of the errors in an Apache log that include a specific string. You could grep the log and insert the input into your Vim session:

:r ! grep string /var/log/apache2/site-error.log

Vim makes it easy to redirect the output of most standard *nix utilities into a file, and to pipe text from the file it's editing into standard *nix utilities.

Filtering text through external filters

While in Vim, you can select a range of text and run that text through an external command. In visual mode, just highlight the text you want to work with, then run :! commandname . The highlighted text will be replaced by the output of the command. Let's say you wanted to use weak encryption on part of a file by running it through the rot13 utility. Use v, V, or Ctrl-v to enter the visual mode of your choice and select the text you want to encrypt. Then run :! rot13 to replace the selected text with rot13-encoded text. This might be handy when composing an email containing a spoiler about the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica for sending to a mailing list. It's trivial for recipients to decode rot13-encoded text, but the folks who don't like spoilers won't have any surprises ruined by skimming over the text.

You can also specify a range of lines to process, rather than selecting lines in visual mode. For instance, to filter lines 20 through 25 of a file through rot13:

:20,25 ! rot13

Vim will run the text through rot13 and insert it in place of the existing text. If you accidentally overwrite some text in Vim that you didn't mean to, don't worry -- Vim's undo command (u) allows you to restore the original text.

Using a different shell

By default, Vim should use your default shell. If you want to make sure that Vim's using your default shell, you can check the value of the shell option by running this query:

:set shell ?

Vim will display shell=/bin/bash, or whatever the shell is set to. Note that this works with other options as well, so you can use :set option ? to check the value of any option within Vim.

If you'd like to change the value of the shell temporarily, run :set shell=/path/to/shell with the correct path to your chosen shell. For instance, on Ubuntu, if you want to use the Korn shell, you can run :set shell=/usr/bin/ksh -- assuming you have the Korn shell installed.

To make the change of shells permanent, open your ~/.vimrc and add this line:

set shell=/path/to/shell

The next time you start a Vim session, the new shell option will be set.

Get in the habit of using Vim's :shell command and the :! utility, and you'll find that you can be even more productive while using Vim than you might have thought possible.

VIM Tip of the Day: running external commands in a shell

A common sequence of events when editing files is to make a change and then need to test by executing the file you edited in a shell. If you're using vim, you could suspend your session (ctrl-Z), and then run the command in your shell.

That's a lot of keystrokes, though.

So, instead, you could use vim's built-in "run a shell command"!

:!{cmd} Run a shell command, shows you the output and prompts you before returning to your current buffer.

Even sweeter, is to use the vim special character for current filename: %

Here's ':! %' is in action!

A few more helpful shortcuts related to executing things in the shell:

:! By itself, runs the last external command (from your shell history)
:!! Repeats the last command
:silent !{cmd} Eliminates the need to hit enter after the command is done
:r !{cmd} Puts the output of $cmd into the current buffer

depesz said...: you can also use "%!" to pass current buffer via some filtering command.

For example : %!nl - to number lines (different from :set nu), :%!wc to check word count on current buffer, :%!tac to reverse order of lines, and so on.; March 10, 2009 12:24:00 PM EDT
Jon Jensen said...: Yes, and you can also send line ranges rather than the whole buffer, for example, lines 4-7:

:4,7! sort -u

or line 4 through end of file:

:4,$! sort -u

And when a visual selection is active, that will automatically be the range used:

:! sort -u; March 10, 2009 12:31:00 PM EDT
Christopher Nehren said...: And in a homologous fashion, one can read the results of an external command by passing the command to run to the :r command like so:

:r !/bin/ls; March 10, 2009 12:31:00 PM EDT
Jon Jensen said...: Chris, that's the final example Selena gave in the original post, isn't it?; March 10, 2009 12:33:00 PM EDT
Christopher Nehren said...: Yes, indeed. I must have missed that part somehow. Apologies for the noise.; March 10, 2009 12:35:00 PM EDT
Selena Deckelmann said...: @depesz & Jon: Yes! Sorting is one of @gorthx's (Gabrielle Roth) favorite uses :)

Thanks for sharing!; March 10, 2009 1:14:00 PM EDT

InformIT Basic vi Skills for the Linux LPIC Exams Advanced vi

Several tasks are part of vi that don't fit in any other section. Most of these are quite advanced, such as running external commands, joining lines, and splitting windows. This section covers these in detail.

Running External Commands in vi

A frequent question on the exams is how to run an external command inside vi, such as seeing an ls –l listing of the current directory so you can remember a filename:
:! ls –l
In this, the command ls –l executes, with the command's output displaying onscreen, and you need only press Enter or enter a command to return to the vi session. If the output scrolls more than one screen, it's piped to the more command and all the normal movement keystrokes will apply.

Joining Lines

It's quite irritating in vi to be at the front of a line and want to use the Backspace key to move that line to the end of the previous line. The Backspace key works only on the current line. If you need a line to be joined to the previous line, you can position the cursor in either line and press Shift+J to cause the second to be appended to the end of the first line.

Say you have a file named file1 that contains the following text:
This is line 1
This is a longer line 2
This is an even longer line 3
You want to join line 1 and line 2, so you position your cursor somewhere on line 1 and press the J key. The file then looks like the following:
This is line 1 This is a longer line 2
This is an even longer line 3
Putting the cursor on line 2 and pressing J joins line 2 and line 3 in a similar fashion.

Split Windows

Last, but not least, is splitting windows in vi, specifically the vim version of vi. When you're editing a particular file and want to see either another section of that same file or even another file altogether, you can use the following:

:split—This splits the window horizontally, with the same file and lines shown in both windows.
:vsplit—This splits the window on the same file vertically, with the same document shown in both the left and right panes.

Moving between the panes is somewhat counterintuitive because you must press Ctrl+W twice to move between the windows.

To edit a completely different file, you should edit the first one in vi; then to split the screen horizontally with the other file loaded in the second pane, you can enter
:split file2
To set the height of the newly split window from the split, you could enter the following:
:10split /etc/fstab
This command splits the top 10 lines of the screen and displays the contents of the /etc/fstab file therein.

If you wanted to close the split window, you would focus on it by pressing Ctrl+W and then entering
:close
Better yet, after comparing something or getting a filename straight, you can close all the other split windows and just have the current window open by entering the following:

NOTE

Many times I've opened a couple of split windows to see the difference between two files or used the diff command. The easiest way to compare two files and make edits to them is to use the vimdiff command, such as
:vimdiff file1 file2
This loads the two files into a vertically split vim session and uses color and other symbols to show you what is similar or different between the two files. This is useful for comparing a log file before and after a problem or two configuration files to see why one doesn't work.

ati 9.6 kernel 2.6.30 testing

I think any patch will do thing... for 2.6.30 or 2.6.29

This may need too:

go to: common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
copy fglrx.ko on hand to /lib/modules/2.6.30/external/
depmod -a
try load it.

In
cd packages/Slackware/x_pkg/
You must have all files need to copy in /usr/lib/ and /etc/ati ... it is full path tree just copy
- watch for module dir it will not copy because is link ot missing in Slack!
- just copy -r modules/* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
see that all is copied right.

try to start X

P.S>
cpufreq - is not recommended yet - after start crash.

On most motherboards APM not work with Dual Core and etc processors if work he disable one of the cores!

see that file: /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh - it is ACPID default action you can change and add some functionalities.

And Now power button must PowerOff your computer.

KDE4 some short notes

2008-12-15T00:11:00.000-08:00

1. When start new X App:

"Maximum number of clients reached"

Read by my lips carefully:
/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus stop - for slack rc.dbus
/etc/rc.d/rc.hald stop
rm /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
/etc/rc.d/rc.hald start

If under KDE or X env must restart them some future is broken because dbus-daemon socket change ???
try:
lshal
dbus-monitor

No need to kill will end alone when see that is not an loptop if it is not:
4177 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/guidance-power-manager
kill 4177 - change PID

And all will be ok

2. Your USB keyboard is repeat pressed key very often and unnecessarily - my Logitech mx5000 have this problem and many other...

Go in System Settings - Keyboard - Enable Keyboard repeat - Disable or change Delay to Higher Value.

3. For GTK app use: lxappearance - to change Theme, Icons, fonts.

slackware mkinitrd

2008-12-14T23:51:00.000-08:00

mkinitrd - no big deal

!!! All options must be supplied, because mkinitrd change on the fly when create initrd image !!!

mkinitrd - first time to create tree

mkinitrd -c -L -f ext3 -r /dev/mapper/Sea1t-root -k 2.6.27 -k 2.6.27 -m ext3 - for My with LVM2

-c - remove old initrd
-L - LVM support - copy some LVM commands
-f - type of Root FS - look carefully for EXT3 some times mkfs do not create journal must be made on hand tune2fs -j /dev/... . This will brooke initrd if it's for root or other auto mount part.
-r - which part to use for rootfs only /dev/mapper/... is right
-k - load modules from /lib/modules/supplied by You argument - VERSION HERE/... !!! - if not supplied
-m - initrd try to load modules

mkinitrd get 'uname -r' which is wrong in most cases !!!

OPTIOPNS:
1. cat initrd /init to see for changes:
mount -o ro /dev/' Your root' /mnt
exit

This will boot Your System in not very proper way if something is wrong with initrd, and you stuck in prompt inside initrd.

2. initrd - can be chaged ot Fly with boot Live CD.

-See Blog for - Grub install and

- use:
mkdir 'some dir'
cd 'some dir'
gzip 'initrd image.gz'
cpio -id < 'initrd image'

This will unshrink image, edit
!!! mkinitrd ... with all options

!!! After many try i figured out that SELinux troubling boot with:
these Errors :

"Can't execute /bin/init"

"linux failed to execute /init"

"No init found"

and some strange errors like module for fs of main partitition isn't compiled in kernel.

From - info grub - Native install

in command prompt start: Personaly i use SLAX Live CD
- boot
- mount root part somewhere
- "chroot"
- mount all include boot if use separated part.
after that install grub:

grub

root (hd0,0) - for disk 0, part 1
find /boot/grub/stage1 - this not only show part with grub but get new PATH for GRUB ROOT with menu stages and etc...
setup (hd0) - This command will install the GRUB boot loader on the Master Boot
or
setup (hd0,0) - If you install GRUB into a partition or a drive other than the first one, you must chain-load GRUB from another boot loader. Refer to the manual for the boot loader to know how to chain-load GRUB.

P.S.

VI help

2008-12-02T00:17:00.000-08:00

%s/foo/bar/g go through all the file and replace foo by bar :12,20s/foo/bar/ from line 12 to 20 replace foo for bar :s/foo/bar/g in the current line replace foo for bar the g after the last / means to replace all the occurrences of foo vby bar and not only the first one.

The one I find really useful is .,+20s/foo/bar/g

Replace all occurrences in the next 20 lines from the current line only. Great when your editing code and you've realised you used the wrong variable name in that method for example.

^V for block select
Select the lines you want (10j for the next 10 lines)
I for insert mode
Type the # or whatever you want to prefix

Use visual mode (shift-v) to highlight lines, then shell out to external programs to filter them, such as perltidy. To do that, with lines highlighted, type !perltidy (assuming you have it on your machine). This lets you filter specific lines instead of the whole file.

Not horribly exciting ones, but useful:

xp - reverse next two characters
dL - Delete to end of page, in other words, everything visible.
C - Often overlooked: chop off end of line and go into insert mode.

:ret over highlighted text will reformat using the tabbing rules set up in your

.vimrc files. Quite handy when you have legacy code and new code mixed together leaving a big mess when opened in a viewer with different settings.
And, to remove the ^M from files that came from windows:
:se ff=unix

Am I just a vim noob? After doing a search and loving the nice highlighting, is there a way to unhighlight the search term without doing a "/lkasjdfkjdfdf"? In less(1), you'd hit u but haven't found anything for vim.

The tricks I use in vi/vim are mostly the arcane flags.

:set nows

will not search past the top or bottom.

:set sw=4

will make a nice indentation shiftwidth, especially for using the indent command (>). Works great for programming, especially with autoindent (:set ai). But when programming with autoindent, you often need to unindent one shiftwidth... do that by typing control-D at the beginning of the line. You can go to the very beginning of an autoindented line with 0 control-D.

:set list
:set nolist

will turn on/off hidden characters, and show end of lines. Great for finding tabs or spaces at the end of a line.

:set nu

will turn on line numbering.

Of course, if you want actual line numbers in your file, in *nix you'd use
:%!cat -n

when pressed over a parenthesis, finds the matching parenthesis or brackets

Now, I want someone to write a lisp interpreter based in vi macros. That way we can port emacs to vi.

move up to the top line of the block to be delete

mm (sets a marker "m")

move down to the last line in the block

d`m (deletes to marker "m", and that's the grave below the tilde, not the back-quote)

Ah, add "set compatible" to your .vimrc file and you have 99% vi behavior.

Also, you can do use "ma" to mark the beginning line, "mb" to mark the ending line, and then:

:'a,'bs/FROM/TO/g

(in vim only), Ctrl-A and Ctrl-X [vim.org] find the next number on the line starting at the cursor, and then increment or decrement it respectively.

Apart from being weird, these are surprisingly useful sometimes, e.g. toggling "#if 0" to "#if 1"...

Very cool. I didn't know how to mark a range like that before.

And, while we're having fun with search and replace, ^ will match the beginning of a line, so if you mark as above, and then change the command to: :'a,'bs/^/#/

you will have commented out a section of your code without having to insert a comment character independently on each line.
Reverse it with: :'a,'bs/^#//

to remove the comments.

Also, you don't have to use the / command as a separator. Anything typed after s will become the separator, so if you want to, say, change all your Windows paths to Unix paths, instead of starting with: :%s/\\/\//g

which, while undeniably cool, can be more easily written as: :%s;\\;/;g

which is a little easier to read.

Two other interesting bits:

u all by itself will undo the last command. Handy when you're testing your commands before posting them to Slashdot.

Also, Slashdot's editor will remove the newlines before any line that starts with a :
In my examples, I put each command on it's own line, but Slashdot keeps appending them to the previous line. Weird.

And if you add a c (confirm) to the end

:'a,'bs/FROM/TO/gc

you will get a Y/N to replace that instance or not, in case you don't want to replace every occurrence. if you search like this :'a,'b g/FINDME/ s/FROM/TO/gc

vi will ask for confirmation to replace FROM to TO only on line between a and b markers on lines with the string FINDME on it.

:.,$ g/FINDME/p will search from your current cursor position (.) to the end of the document ($) and get /regular expression/ print (i.e grep) inside of vi.

456G

go to the 456 line (G for the last line)

These are a few of my favourite things. Vi plugin for Eclipse and Visual Studio actually makes them have a worthwhile editor, I couldn't imagine not having all the effort I invested into using vi available in some of the "editors" available today.

By Mi
On some Line just type any number let say 8:
- If press ENTER go 8 Lines Below
- if Press SPACE go 8 symbols ahead
- ? what will do with - in front :)

tricks man find

2008-11-29T00:23:00.000-08:00

from: http://linux-blog.org/

I wanted a quick way to be able to find out what files weren’t visible to others (and therefore, not visible to website visitors). Messing with arguments and the file command, you can do the following:

find -type f ! -perm -444

This locates all files not visible to ‘others’ in the current directory. You can apply this to directories as well:

find -type d ! -perm -111

This allows you to quickly display the 96th line of filename.php.  Hope this helps someone like it has me.

head -n 96 filename.php | tail -n 1

Ever wonder how you can get a man page in into a format you can read
and print? There’s many methods of doing it (copy and paste is one) but
one the easiest I’ve found is:

man command | col -x -b  > command.txt

slow laggy GTK under slackware KDE4
