Script to add all the partitions to the fstab.

2010-06-24 5 min read Bash Fedora

I wrote a simple script today to get all the partitions on all the disks and then create <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fstab" title="Fstab" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab">fstab entry with them. The script also gets the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/universally_unique_identifier" title="Universally Unique Identifier" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_Unique_Identifier">UUID and uses the same to make the entry 🙂

Filename completion in Linux with mixed case and ignored case.

2010-06-23 1 min read Bash Linux

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 &#8221;set completion-ignore-case on&#8221;

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.

Fedora 11 Leonidas — Fix HDD (Hard Disk) and CD/DVD automount issues for users other than root.

2010-06-22 1 min read Fedora

I have been thinking of putting this for quite some time now. By default no user (other than root) on Fedora 11 has the permission to mount CD/DVD and or ntfs/vfat partitions. So HAL automount does not work for these.

Here is something you can do to fix this:

Open System-> Preferences -> Authourizations

<a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Screenshot-Authorizations.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-905" title="Screenshot-Authorizations" src="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Screenshot-Authorizations.jpg" alt="Screenshot-Authorizations" width="800" height="700" />

Now, go to org -> hal -> storage and make the changes to suit your needs. You can add or remove a particular user for the operation with the Grant or Block buttons or for all the users system-wide with the Edit button.

Oracle GUI client on Linux with mysql support

2010-06-22 1 min read Fedora Linux

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
