PPA Fundas

27 Jun

For Software Developers/Providers

Personal Package Archive (PPA) service is provided for Ubuntu by Launchpad via which you can distribute software and updates directly to Ubuntu users. Create your source package, upload it and Launchpad will build binaries and then host them in your own apt repository.
Refer this link for more on how to create your own PPA to distribute software.

For Users (Like Us)

PPA (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas) can be easily used to add new sources for software not available in Software Centre.PPAs work like normal Ubuntu archives. You can install software in the usual way — for example, through apt-get or synaptic — and whenever there’s an update Ubuntu will prompt you to install it. Both the x86 & x64 architectures are supported by PPA.

Here is an example, to add the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: user/ppa-name

So pop up your Terminal and try adding few of them from below

Open Office : sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:openoffice-pkgs/ppa

Google Chrome Browser Beta : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/beta

ClamAv Antivirus : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa

Remember to run sudo apt-get update after you are done with above

Here is a look at a successfull addition via PPA


If you still feel you are bit of a Linoob just try using Ubuntu Tweak

How to remotely install Ubuntu through TeamViewer

06 May
So, this guy called me up and asked for installing Ubuntu cause he was a Linoob (not that worse). He said that  he can do everything except partitioning cause he still isn’t expert at that till now.
He wanted me to do his partitioning, but he was just 3000 kilometers (seems like “3000/- only” price tag) away from my place.
So, this idea came to my mind. Eureka! :p
Sharing with you the remote installation of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Requirements:
Procedure:
  • Just pop your CD into your CD/DVD Drive and boot through it to the Live environment.
  • Now go to the Network Manager Applet (top right) and configure your internet connection from there so that you may be able to connect to the “The Support Guy”
    (For Connecting to Internet Refer this Forum Post)
  • Done with connecting to internet, now is the time to Download TeamViewer
  • Run the deb package you downloaded and click “Install Package”
  • Go To Applications -> Internet – >TeamViewer
    An ID and Password will be generated on the left automatically.
  • Just provide the ID and the Password to “The Support Guy” and leave the rest on him. :D (Refer This For Installing Ubuntu)

Note: This procedure has been tested for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and may or maynot work with older versions of Ubuntu

Setting up Oracle XE 10g in Ubuntu

18 Feb

The Oracle Database, also known as Oracle RDBMS is a relational database management system, which is produced and marketed by Oracle Corporation. The Oracle Database Systems is one of the most popular database systems, competing with likes of MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server among others. Oracle is a very robust database solution.

Of course Oracle is a non-free software, and might not be well really liked by free software purists, and its corporate versions and support cost a bomb, but to be fair Oracle does offer a free Express Edition for its somewhat older 10g release, more popularly known as Oracle XE 10g. It’s a free download and is available for variety of platforms including various distros of Linux and Microsoft Windows.

In this tutorial, we will discuss on setting up and configuring Oracle XE 10g in Ubuntu. Here I’ve used a 32 bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 for this purpose, but these instructions will easily work for previous or future iterations of Ubuntu.

First of all we download Oracle 10g XE from Oracle website. I suggest to download from the Oracle’s Debian Repos directly, here. Select the Universal or the standard package for Oracle. Note the client is bundled with the Oracle Software itself, so no need to install it separately. Of course if you wish client alone for connecting to an Oracle software, you may proceed to install it as any Debian package.

Note you need enough RAM for Oracle in your system. If you have less than 1GB RAM, then you need to create more a gig of swap in the system by:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swpfs bs=1M count=1000
sudo mkswap /swpfs
sudo swapon /swpfs

Also you have to download the libaio package, which is necessary for installation of Oracle. Note DEB packages may open directory in Firefox, so use “Save Link As…” in that case.
Note all these packages are 32bit packages, and there’s no 64 bit packages for any Oracle XE. However you can conveniently install the 32 bits packages in a 64 bit system as we will highlight further.
Download and save the packages in some convenient directory, say $HOME/Downloads, and then fire up the terminal and change to the directory containing the packages.
