[SOLVED] Perl: How to replace umlauts with regex

russenreaktor — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:50:20 +0000

You have a string with umauts you want to replace
$strNewXml = "ÜBERSICHTSKARTE MIT HIGHLIGHTS";


To replace "Ü" use \xdc where "dc" is a Hex value of the "Ü" character from this table

$strNewXml =~ s/\xdcBERSICHTSKARTE MIT HIGHLIGHTS//g;

[SOLVED] Ubuntu: Fixing messed up screen resolution

russenreaktor — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:08:42 +0000

If you messed up with your display resolution try this:

To configure the monitor and display adapter, you need to re-configure
your Xorg server. To do that, first backup your xorg.conf file by
executing the following command:

   # sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

then, stop X by executing the following command (this will put you to
text only mode):

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

You can do the whole X configuration process by executing:

   # sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Once you have re-configured Xorg,  start GNOME again by executing this
command:

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

[SOLVED]Target filesystem doesn’t have /sbin/init

The second attempt was to run Ubuntu off of the CD (don’t install it, just run the OS) and then go into the terminal window and run fsck. For those that aren’t familiar with that command, here is a brief summary

$sudo fsck /dev/sda5


where /dev/sda5 is a drive you want to check

[SOLVED] Chrome: How to change the default language (UI) in chrome
russenreaktor — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:30:53 +0000
Normally you should find this option in “Under the Hood” tab but if have no such option do type
chrome://settings/languages
in to address bar and choose your preferred UI language.
then you must restart your Google Chrome Browser
 
Tested with chrome v13.0.782.220 m and v15.0.871.1 canary

         


[SOLVED] Chrome: How to switch the User agent of the browser?
russenreaktor — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:54:16 +0000
you can pass the user agent string in the command line
for example, this is how to make chrome report itself as IE8.0 on my machine

C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)”
so basically just add –user-agent=”what ever you want to impersonate to” to the target in the shortcut to chrome

and launch chrome using that shortcut!

[SOLVED] Ubuntu – VNC loads but does not refresh.
russenreaktor — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:32:20 +0000
I am playing with UltraVNC from Windows 7 to Ubuntu. To resolve the problem with VNC refresh we should turn off all visual effects.
 

right click on the desktop, select “Change Desktop Background”, click

“Visual Effects”, click the “none” option

[SOLVED] Mount the remote file system on your local machine with sshfs
russenreaktor — Sun, 29 May 2011 15:17:35 +0000
You can mount the remote file system on your local machine with sshfs:
mkdir -p /mnt/sshfs 
root@IS1300:~# sshfs 192.168.1.2:/ /mnt/sshfs 
root@IS1300:~# umount /mnt/sshfs 
Then you can copy paste the file with nautilus/gnome/konqueror/dolphin/bash/whatever
