Filename completion in Linux with mixed case and ignored case.

This is one of my favourites, alwahs keep it handy. Linux is case sensitive by nature but you will always find filenames jumbled up in the case. So what is the solution:

bind ”set completion-ignore-case on”

Just execute the above in your bash command and file/dir name will behave like Windows. Remember that this is per session setting and thus the names do not get changed internally, it only changes the way to access it (specifically completion only). So if you want this behaviour in all your sessions put this in the appropriate profile file.

Oracle GUI client on Linux with mysql support

I was looking for some nice client for Oracle and mysql. I did find mysql-administrator and navicat to be useful but this is much better. <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/tora/" target="_blank">Tora is the client that I am talking about. Installation did not take much time for me..

downloaded the instant client from oracle.com and then the tora rpm from sourceforge.net. Also downloaded the tora-mysql from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/21/year/2002/month/01/day/28

Then tried to install all the rpms found the rpms that were missing and installed them using yum. Once this is done install the downloaded rpms with &#8221;–nodeps&#8221; option of rpm.Put the entries in bashrc

I updated my destop configuration recently, well thats not the news. But I was a idiot doing certain things at that time might be something interesting to my readers. I got a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/nvidia" title="Nvidia" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.3707277778,-121.963738889&spn=0.01,0.01&q=37.3707277778,-121.963738889%20%28Nvidia%29&t=h">nVidia <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/video_card" title="Video card" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_card">graphics card, that was not the issue but I uninstalled the drivers for it after putting it in was the issue.

So, here is the story and the fix.

gollage – create simple collage with ease.

Find the project <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gollage/" target="_blank">here. Download the tar ball and install it. Description of the application is:
