Call for testing openSUSE 11.2 with newer aria2

As you might now, Zypp (the package management stack of openSUSE) uses the very powerful aria2 application to perform its downloads, both for repository metadata and RPM files. Before that, it used curl.Since openSUSE 11.2, the Zypp stack defaults to using aria2 (unless the environment variable ZYPP_ARIA2C is set to 0, in which case it falls back to curl). But currently, we have two issues with

Survived yet another FOSDEM!

This year, FOSDEM didn't completely kill me like last year. Cleanup still turned me into a living corpse (despite the availability of Club Mate -- thanks to the Hackerspace Brussels crowd) but at least I'm back among the living a day after the event instead of a week.

I was very impressed with the network this year. Thanks to AY, Jerome and Peter from Cisco, and of course the FOSDEM networking team. We had to tell people to use more bandwidth. People even came to the infodesk asking us when the network would break because it didn't feel like FOSDEM to them. Yeah...

Taking it a little bit easier over the weekend, I was able to keep an eye on the noise on IRC. This little graph is highly amusing:

Activity on #fosdem

Back to work today. Very few days remain in my current contract, but that doesn't mean the work doesn't need finishing. :-)

deja-dup desktop backup

I've been messing with finding a decent desktop backup application this weekend to run on all the family laptops. I thought backintime would do the trick, but it turned out not to work over sshfs (due to the lack of hardlink support) and doing backups to the same disk that holds the data seems like a bad idea to me.

So, today I found an article on deja-dup in my RSS feed, installed it and it's wonderful. It has a built in scheduler and supports all filesystems that gvfs does, but adds nice things like encryption for your backups and it integrates very well with Nautilus.

I can just select a file or folder and revert it to the state of any of the listed backups, which is exactly the functionality I've been looking for.

Just a shame that I didn't find it in the first hours of looking... but I am happy now :-)

Don't forget the COMMIT in MySQL

Yes, MySQL has transactions if you use InnoDB or NDB Cluster for example. Using these transactional storage engines, you'll have to commit (or roll back) your inserts, deletes or updates.

I've seen it a few times now with people being surprised that no data is going into the tables. It's not so a silly problem in the end. If you are used to the defaults in MySQL you don't have to commit anything since it is automatically done for you.

Take the Python Database Interfaces for MySQL. PEP-249 says that, by default, auto-commit should be turned off. You could turn it back on, but it's good practice to be explicit and commit in your code. Remember the Zen of Python!

Here is just a small example to show it. Uses MySQL Connector/Python, but it does work also with others:


import mysql.connector
cnx = mysql.connector.connect(db='test')
cur = cnx.cursor()
cur.execute("""CREATE TABLE innodb_t1 (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
c1 VARCHAR(128),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB""")
ins = "INSERT INTO innodb_t1 (id,c1) VALUES (%s,%s)"
cur.execute(ins,
(1,'MySQL Support Team _is_ already the best',))
cnx.commit()
cur.close()
cnx.close()

Packman for Factory

We've started building and publishing a core set of multimedia/codec related packages at Packman for openSUSE Factory again, now that 11.3 M1 has been published.Currently available packages include: MPlayer, ffmpeg, fluidsynth, lame, xine, twolame, vlc and xmms, as well as the gstreamer stack and a pile of additional libraries. We don't build all the stuff that's in our 11.2/11.1/11.0

Internet & Security

The new technologies bring along a plethora of delightful new options for consumers to sample content. One of those new ways is the music samples some groups put online. A full track or even a full album to build the hype and allow people to sample the tracks and to persuade them to Go out and BUY their newest creative offspring. And we all love it. It works, its Awesome! Embrace Technology.

A pitty though is the fact that many of these fancy previews lack the least of security measures to keep the actual music safe. The previews are on sites with fancy flash based interfaces to enable people to play them from the browser without hassle and instead of building a decent degree of security into that player, some of them just take plain mp3 files from sites. Fully tagged Mp3s that ll just download to any location and Play. Want them? Go trough the source, click on the mp3 links and wait till the goodies have downloaded. You will have to rename the files to the correct names, but since the mp3 files are cleanly tagged, that wont be an issue – and you cant have it all ey.

In a time where a lot of cds are nearly unusable due to draconic DRM measures, where DVDs play only in certain regions and where you re getting fucked in the arse whenever you shell out hard earned money to enjoy music or a movie. (Dont get me started about the modern day Cinema experience!) Its unbelievable that the other end of the line is So under protected. Im not advocating for DRM here, but to be honest .. if I would have put those online, Id at least chosen a method with a bit more protection along the way.

And its not as if these dont exist.. Take the new Gorillaz site for example. Im a big fan of the Murdoc podcasts and I wouldnt mind listening to them in my car. Contrary to other online content, they go trough the effort of using a flash player (so far we re on the same road as the aforementioned) and having that player connect to a streaming server with a bit more protection to the whole, instead of just placing .mp3 download links in their source!!

Now, lets get down to brass tacks here. Talking as an IT and Security professional with a dose of real life common sense. Not everyone will read the source code to see if it contains usable links (im just curious like that) and then proceed to download those instead of just listening to them on the web site as it was initially intended. And as a second, a stream server isnt failsafe either. Take the time to figure out how it wants its url and how to piece it all together; open VLC and stream it to disk and you ve got the music too. And if you re not up to any of the above, you can take the radio style approach and just have some software record whatever your computer outputs. Or go Really low tech and just hang a mic in front of your speakers while playing them and record that. There is ALWAYS a way ;)

All im saying is .. You cant at the same time screw up the cd I just bought to a degree where it wont play on my car radio; and at the same time put the mp3s in a clickable format in the webpage source, ready for free downloading for anyone who can right click a mouse.

That being said.. Thank you for the Music!

Python, oursql and MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

This post explains how to compile oursql and install it on MacOS 10.6. oursql is a Python database interface for MySQL, an alternative to MySQL for Python (i.e. MySQLdb) and MySQL Connector/Python.

First, find out which MySQL you installed. This can be either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. To make sure, find the mysqld (e.g. in /usr/local/mysql/bin) and do the following in a Terminal window:


shell> file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld
.../mysqld: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

If you see x86_64, you got 64-bit, otherwise 32-bit. If you see both, then you have a universal build. This is important for specifying the ARGSFLAG when building.

Download oursql from Launchpad and unpack it into some directory. Using the information from above, you'll have to do following for 64-bit platform (or universal build) in a Terminal window:


shell> ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" python setup.py build
shell> sudo python setup.py install

For 32-bit, you'll have to do:


shell> ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" python setup.py build
shell> sudo python setup.py install

Following error will be reported when you don't specify the correct ARCHFLAGS:


ld: warning: in .../lib/libmysqlclient.dylib,
file is not of required architecture

Mollom blacklisting and language detection APIs

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that Mollom is a continual work in progress. By studying how people use Mollom, by listening to feature requests, and by examining the plugins that our software partners and others have made available, we've introduced new ways to interact with Mollom.

First, we're announcing support for blacklisting. We introduced two new methods: one based on detecting the presence of user-specified URLs, and another that detects specific phrases or keywords. In both cases, Mollom maintains custom, site-specific URL and text blacklists, and knows to search for the presence of these links or phrases when analyzing text for your site. We're adding support for this API to the next version of the Mollom module for Drupal.

Second, we've implemented a new method that detects the language of any given text. We currently support detection of about 75 languages and this new functionality allows our end-users to take action based on posting language. It could be used to help segment web postings into different forums by language, or to help moderate the languages spoken on your site, for instance. The language detection API is used by some of our customers, but probably won't make it into the next version of the Mollom module for Drupal.

We've got other new features that we're working on as well, and will introduce them as they're ready. In the meantime, I'm excited to see what our plugin developers do with this new level of control.

FOSDEM 2010 Pictures

As always, I took some pictures at FOSDEM 2010. Disappointingly I took less than last year: only 55 instead of 132 (and even that is cheating, because that includes a picture *of* me taken by xvello). Still, better than nothing, I guess... In any case, as always at FOSDEM, I had lots of fun, and that's what counts! Smiling

Fosdem 2010

GNU

The 10th edition of Fosdem was quite crowdy, even in that degree that even the larger rooms were completely filled. In the AW building, some sessions had to disallow people in order to prevent security problems. One might suggest another campus for future editions...
Just like last year, lots of cloud-based talks, and also remarkble, lots of talks about cross-distro management. Anyhow, this is my track :

  1. Cloudlets, universal server images for the cloud
  2. apt-get for Android
  3. Cross-distro packaging with (top)git
  4. Large scale data analysis made easy with Apache Hadoop
  5. Scaling Facebook with Open Source tools
  6. Continuous packaging with project-builder.org
  7. Debian secrets : power tools for power users


Also, in a stunning breach with traditions, I decided not to buy a Debian t-shirt, but a Gnome one instead...

FOSDEM: 'Connecting MySQL and Python', handout & wrap-up

Apparently, my talk at FOSDEM 2010 about Connecting MySQL and Python was the only one about Python? There should be more, or?

I have a hand-out ready in PDF. The slides are not usable without my chatter. It contains a few examples and links. Any comments, corrections, criticism.. are welcome!

The longer version of this talk will be given at the O'Reilly MySQL Conference&Expo 2010 in Santa Clara, California (USA).

Indeed, I really appreciated the talk from Gdk about Education and Open Source during the last edition of FOSDEM (‘09), so I was a little bit disappointed to not have the same kind of talk this year. :(

So now, the challenge will be to make it happen for FOSDEM’11. ;)

An unbelievable surprise!
As it was the first time JBos.org was present at FOSDEM, we did not expect to a such success.
The result was beyond our most optimistic expectations.
See by your self on the following pictures :

First and Second talk – Falko Menge and Heiko w. Rupp -

Third and fourth talk – Mark Proctor, Sabri - From the point the room was always FULL – ( THE BET WAS WON ! Congratulation jbug ! – Belgian Jboss User Group – )

Unfortunately I had not the possibility to attend for the other talks (JBoss ESB, Yoeri Roels). :(

Thanks to jbug.be for helping me to make this happens – Joris, Jarom, etc..).
Thanks also to all speakers – Falko Menge, Heiko w. Rupp, Mark Proctor, Sabri Skhiri, Yoeri Roels

FOSDEM 2010 KDE Group Picture

As always, we had the KDE Group Picture taken at FOSDEM. It went pretty smooth this year, apart from not immediately hearing when the autotimer of the camera clicked Smiling

On Drupal, Open Source and Moving to West Africa

As some of you already know my time as project lead and trainer at af83 came to an end last December. Their Drupal team will continue to be lead by the more than capable Damien Tournoud (@damz), one of the most prolific core Drupal contributors out there.

During my time in Paris I had a blast co-organizing DrupalCon Paris, helping grow the French community and being part of the team that founded l'association Drupal France et Francophonie, the French Drupal Association.

It's made me realize that community work is what makes me get up in the morning: the connecting, the building, the learning. It's awesome to witness and a privilege to take part in.
<!--break-->
It won't come too much as a surprise then, that we decided to move to Senegal (West Africa) to continue the work started in Paris: to support the use and development of open source software (and Drupal in particular, of course) throughout West Africa.

This work will be funded through three channels:

I'm particularly happy we can finally unveil Bantalabs. Co-founder Simon Elliott and I have been preparing this venture for months - defining the core goals, fleshing out the business plan, connecting with higher education institutions and building the site.

We're really excited about this new chapter in our lives. We have high hopes and ambitious plans. We're going to have a lot of fun.

Feel free to follow us on twitter: @bantalabs, @mrsimonelliott, @jpoesen.

Dear *,

These are the first pictures of the FOSDEM’10.

ADSL speed

ADSL has got me stumped. A couple of months ago, Scarlet (aka Belgacom) claimed that even though my ADSL2 modem synced at around 6Mbps, it wasn't unusual that the maximum downstream data rate was 1Mbps, because of the distance from the modem to the ADSL concentrator apparatus thing. Even though I was very sure that it had been 3+Mbps over a year ago.
Today I notice, from the corner of my eye, the download speed of a virtual appliance I was fetching: 500+ KBps, or a good 5 Mbps. Sync rate of my modem is still 6Mbps.
Was something changed at the Scarlet/Belgacom side ? If yes, why ? Or am I blessed by a unique and unexplained cosmic alignment of some sort ? I just hope it doesn't go down again. Maybe I should keep speedtest.net in my bookmarks.

FOSDEM

This year again I'll be at FOSDEM this week-end[1]. I should be around the GNOME stand/devroom and will, of course, attend the beer event on Saturday night.

Don't hesitate to come and say hi if you want to discuss about Telepathy, Empathy, Moovida or about your favorite Belgian beer.

For those who are lucky enough to own a N900 don't forget to download the FOSDEM 2010 Maemo application. The UI is pretty shit but the features are quite nice and it allows you to easily build your schedule for the week-end. If you are more an Android, iPhone or Palm person the app is also available for those plateforms.

See you there!

FOSDEM Beer Event

As every year, there will be a FOSDEM beer event on Friday night before FOSDEM (February 5th 2010).
As in 2009, this year's event will take place at the Delirium Café, in a beautiful alley near the Grand'Place in Brussels. In addition to the enormous variety in beers, the location also has enough room to accommodate the vast crowd of geeks we tend to be.

Delirium Security will help us keep this area FOSDEM-only. If you meet a guard at the entrance to the bar, make it clear to him that you are there for the FOSDEM party. This is done by giving the code FOSDEM3 to the security, also printing this page can come in handy.

Drupal updated !

I was very late to update my own site ! Yesterday I was still running drupal 5.3 !! (shame on me).

Now the site is updated and runs the latest version of drupal 6.x

I'm very happy with this upgrade and I took the opportunity to change the theme; this time I use a nice (to my opinion) theme provided by drupal : fervens

FOSDEM Beer Event Boycot

There are people preparing to boycott the beer event just because Google sponsors the free beers.
The boycott would be by refusing free beer. If people do not want free beer that is their own choice.

However (and I'm very clear about this) I will not tolerate flyers to be handed out or any lobbying at the event. If I see people doing this I will remove them and refuse entry.
Google is our sponsor and we are happy they are! If you really want to boycott stay away from FOSDEM as Google also sponsors the event itself!

The event is a private event and supposed to be free, as stated before FOSDEM has no political nor religious goals and will always refuse to be a part of that.

So In case you are still wondering: People actively pursuing a boycott will be removed!

update: I got contacted by Jan saying he will not continue and I'm happy we can resolve this!

Embedding YouTube HTML5-video with newTube

With all the discussions about the place of Flash on the ever-evolving web and the excitement following Google’s announcement about YouTube going HTML5, one would almost forget that YouTube is only at the very start of their “open video” endeavor. The limitations of the current implementations are numerous; there’s no OGG (damn), no ads (yeah!) and no embedding either (damn) for example.

After looking into ways to call the YouTube mp4-file from within a Video for Everybody html-block (which is not possible, Google protects raw video-files using what seems to be a session-based hash that has to be provided in the URL), I decided to take another (dirty) approach; faking it!

The solution is entirely javascript-based and is as un-elegant as it is simple; create a html-file with a script include of http://futtta.be/newTube/newTube.js and a div with “id=newTube” containing a link to a YouTube-page and the script automagically takes care of the rest. Check out http://futtta.be/newTube/ to see it in action.

The result is an embedded YouTube player which will display the HTML5-version if you’re running a browser which supports mp4/h264 playback (i.e. a recent version of Chrome or Safari) and if you enrolled in the beta. If either of these preconditions aren’t met, you’ll just see the plain old Flash-player.

Don’t get your hopes up, in reality newTube is probably pretty useless (for reasons I’ll get into in a follow-up post, when I have some time to spare that is). You’ll have to wait for someone (YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, … are you listening?) to offer real embeddable html5-video (with support for both mp4/h264 and and ogg/theora).

But I did have fun creating the very first html5-capable embedded YouTube-player ;-)

FOSDEM 2010

This weekend on Sunday, February 7, we'll have a full day of Drupal talks at the 10th edition of FOSDEM, Europe's biggest, free-est and open-est software conference.

FOSDEM, is a free and non-commercial event organized by the community, for the community. Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source developers a place to meet. The Drupal project was granted a developer room at FOSDEM to do exactly that: to share knowledge about Drupal.

The presentations schedule for the Drupal devroom features interesting speakers such as Robert Douglass, Károly Négyesi, Roel de Meester and Kristof van Tomme and even more interesting subjects as mobile device design, AHAH, eID and Views 3. Everyone is invited to attend the presentations.

Asterisk Wake Up call application

If you want to be awaken by your Asterisk PBX, here’s a simple bit of code to add in your dial plan.

Basically, you would call 9253 followed by the time the phone should ring, for exemple if you want to be awaken at 06:30am you would call 92530630 (on your dialpad WAKE0610).

This code only allows to set ONE alarm.

If you want to delete -for exemple the 0630am- alarm, you would call 6692530610 (on dialpad NOWAKE0610).

Asterisk will create a call file and put it under /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
How does Asterisk know when to call you ? It will check the timestamp of the call files.

Make sure you enable func_strings.so module, it is required for STRFTIME.
