Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So
http://people.debian.org.tw/~jesse/git/everyday_zhtw.html

grub

ubuntu 9.10 default come with grub 1.97, dont know start from which version, menu.lst had done.
Now it use grub.cfg as the configuration file. It's format and syntax is not so easy to understand, and modify.

There are two place to modify with :
/etc/grub.d/ -> lots template and stage, seems allow to add extra grub menu item
/etc/default/grub -> some general setting apply to all items

My target is remove the kernel bootsplash, also make a graphic console, so below settings satisfied me :

__
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4" # removed splash

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
__
Also it wont accept vga=xxx as kernel cmdline now, need to GRUB_GFXMODE=???x??? instead.

Test result :
1.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 vga=791"
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
-> grub in 800x600 mode, and linux console in 1024x768 mode

2.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 vga=791"
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
-> grub in text mode, and linux console in text mode

Conclusion :
Seems both grub should be in graphic mode ( by assign GRUB_TERMINAL,GRUB_GFXMODE )
And also linux kernel ( by assign vga=791 ), otherwise linux console wont be in graphic mode.

Older grub/syslinux, only vga=791 would be enough

dvtm - Tiling window inside console

很多的 embedded 開發者, 平常都是用 vm 裝著 linux, 然後 host 開著 Windows 進行著 W皮L骨的開發。雖然我習慣直接用 Linux host 開發, 但是近來改用 Mac 後, 實在捨不得把漂漂的 Mac 改成 Linux 工作。所以也就開始開著 VM 裝著 Linux 研究, 在 VM 下的 Linux, 其實也是開著 terminal 工作居多。所以多半是用 awesome wm 來便利工作, 有些時候不想切到 VM console, 改用 ssh 連線時, 就缺少了 tiled window 的功能。

dvtm 是用來解決的
http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/
http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/screenshot1.png

default mod key 是 ctrl-g

darwin port 也有 porting 這個 package 到 mac, 所以 mac 下也可以用啦~

Keyboard commands
Mod Each keybinding begins with Mod which defaults to ^g but can be changed in config.h or with the -m
command line option.

Mod-c Create a new shell window.

Mod-x Close focused window.

Mod-l Increases the master area width about 5% (all except grid and fullscreen layout).

Mod-h Decreases the master area width about 5% (all except grid and fullscreen layout).

Mod-j Focus next window.

Mod-k Focus previous window.

Mod-[1..n]
Focus the nth window.

Mod-. Toggle minimization of current window.

Mod-u Focus next non minimized window.

Mod-i Focus prev non minimized window.

Mod-m Maximize current window (change to fullscreen layout).

Mod-PageUp
Scroll up.

Mod-PageDown
Scroll down.

Mod-Space
Toggle between defined layouts (affects all windows).

Mod-Enter
Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area.

Mod-t Change to vertical stack tiling layout.

Mod-b Change to bottom stack tiling layout.

Mod-g Change to grid layout.

Mod-s Shows/hides the status bar.

Mod-r Redraw whole screen.

Mod-G Escape the next typed key.

Mod-X Lock screen.

Mod-B Toggle bell (off by default).

Mod-M Toggle dvtm mouse grabbing. Mod-q Quit dvtm.

Ubuntu 文字模式開機

sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove

or
echo false > /etc/X11/default-display-manager

/etc/X11/default-display-manager 記錄了用哪個 display-manager
如果是 gdm, 多半是 : /usr/sbin/gdm

另, 以下講的更完整:

mac 下用 meld

Meld 是 Linux 下很習慣用的比對工具,仰賴 darwin port 的 project,Mac 下也有機會可以用了。
但是啟動的時候,遇到一些錯誤。

See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Not enough memory)


google 了一下,發現要執行下面兩行先:

# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
# launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

注意的是,很多網站兩行都已 sudo 開頭,其實第二行必須自身的帳號執行( 也是google 來的拉)。
照做之後,果然就可以動了,耶~

ReactOS :

試著在 binary level 與 MS 的 Windows 相容,說來有點匪夷所思。但仔細想來,就是將每個 Windows 的關鍵零件都實作一份,@@好像還是很恐怖。

It also reference some from Wine project. According to the live video, at least it's workable - at some kind of situation.
You can use the 'indent' tool to fix the coding style like this:
indent -npro -kr -i8 -ts8 -sob -l80 -ss -ncs *.[ch]
Multiboot ( mboot )

Not to boot multiple OS, but to define the protocol between boot loader and OS.
Boot loader can also load lots modules into memory, and info OS to get use of it.
A good use case is for Xen, or other hypervisor, to load additional initramfs.

Grub 2 support mboot
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html

syslinux + mboot.c32
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Mboot.c32

Multiboot speification
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/
-> contain detail information about protocol definitions, also piece of code that OS parts may need.

Article about multiboot :
http://onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2007/03/01/inside-multiboot.html

Explain some idea about why multiboot been designed. One goal is to have a unify boot loader to load all kind of OS.

不過裡面提到的,BIOS 要 load HD 的第一個 sector 這件事來說。現存的各種 boot loader,也都有能力 load foreign OS 了。所以是不是要搶占這個位置,倒不重要了。

對於 boot loader 怎 load linux 這塊,這兩年搞很熟了,應該補一下關於 load Windows 這塊的知識倒是。

what is modules.dep ? modules.order ?
CPIO command :

cpio -t 列表 initramfs 裡面的 file
zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-12-generic | cpio -t


cpio -i 解開 cpio 的 file
zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-12-generic | cpio -i

zcat 可以邊解邊 cat,對於沒壓縮過的,直接用 cat 就可以了

cpio -o 製作 cpio files
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > initramfs.gz
