YaST Repositories

Applications

Amarok

Amarok collection stored in MySQL (host: localhost, port: 3306, DB name: amarok, user: amarok)
To set up Amarok MySQL database (see Amarok MySQL HowTo):

% mysql -p -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE amarok;
mysql> USE amarok;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON amarok.* TO amarok@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD_CHANGE_ME';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Installed amarok-packman package (metapackage to install amarok from the packman repository).
Selected Xine engine (needed for crossfading).
- → Now Amarok plays ogg in Gnome desktop too!
Crossfading: 0ms (crossfading 100ms handy for making gapless playback, but playback is sometimes jerky when enabled)
Fade-out: 1500ms (3500ms much too long)
Updated to xine-lib/1.1.15 (solve bug Amarok freeze at track change).

Amule

# off.

SSH

Helper aliases in ~/.bashrc:

##### SSH #####################################################################
alias sshag="ssh-agent bash --rcfile ~/.basshrc"        # launch a shell in which ssh private key passphrase is cached
alias sftpn="sftp daemenj@ftp.noekeon.org"

# function scpnup - Copy file from/to remote Miki Wiki's upload directory
# USAGE: scpnup localfilename @
#        scpnup @ remotefilename
function scpnup() {
 [ "$1" = "@" ] && SRC="daemenj@noekeon:/opt/www/daemenj/web/kiwi.noekeon.org/miki/upload/$2" || SRC="$1";
 [ "$2" = "@" ] && DST="daemenj@noekeon:/opt/www/daemenj/web/kiwi.noekeon.org/miki/upload/" || DST=".";
 scp "$SRC" "$DST"
}

sshag starts a new shell in which passphrase is cached. It uses the rcfile ~/.basshrc:

# .basshrc: Bash resource file for preloading ssh keys in the ssh-agent
#
# Use:
# ---
#   ssh-agent bash --rcfile ~/.basshrc

#Source primary resource file

#Add all ssh keys in ~/.ssh

TrueCrypt

Using TrueCrypt 6.0a.
Personal configuration directory in ~/.tc.
Added function tc in ~/.bashrc to mount tc volume in command-line.

# 2008-07-28 - macro for TrueCrypt

# to unmount       : tc -d
tc() {

		truecrypt -d
	else
		echo "Mounting TrueCrypt volume \"$1\" to /mnt/tc"
		truecrypt -k ~/.tc/tckeyfile "$1" /mnt/tc
	fi
}
