UI translation tools and version control — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2015/04/13/gtranslator-as-a-ui-translation-tool-no-thanks

UI Translation Tools and Version Control. Today I decided to try some translation tools I could install on my laptop locally to translate Kallithea. So I’d not need to be on-line to use Michal Čihař’s wonderful Weblate. The first tool I tried was Gtranslator. Apart from that it has quite a dumb user interface, so I most probably won’t ever use it again unless things improve. Well, I thought, I need to try Lokalize. Just as with Gtranslator, I created a project, edited one line and hit ‘Save’. As I ex...

hgk misbehaviour with Tk 8.4 — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2014/03/16/hgk-misbehaviour-with-tk-8-4

Hgk Misbehaviour With Tk 8.4. Strangely enough, running hgk (a port of gitk to Mercurial, also known as. With Tk 8.4 crashes my X server. Updating both Tk and the X doesn’t help. I don’t feel like I want to debug X now, but probably that’s what I have to do :(. Posted by Andrew Shadura. Process isolation support in start-stop-daemon. Ifupdown and command status handling. Manual control of OpenEmbedded -dbg packages. Migrate to systemd without a reboot. Community time at Collabora.

A bit more on TrueCrypt — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2013/04/13/a-bit-more-on-truecrypt

A Bit More on TrueCrypt. Few days ago I was discussing my last blog post. With a colleague of mine, Lukaš Tvrdý. Basically, I got rid of ext3-on-the-loop, and now I have real ext3 in a LUKS container, plus a separate swap partition. Now the other problem is: I still have an encrypted NTFS filesystem which I occasionally need to access, but I don’t want to type the pass phrase twice… Something to think about.

How to run Debian from a loop device on a TrueCrypt'ed NTFS partition — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2013/01/05/truecrypt-ntfs-3g-loop

How to Run Debian From a Loop Device on a TrueCrypt'ed NTFS Partition. Basically, what I needed to accomplish was the following:. Boot Linux, map the encrypted partition using. Mount the NTFS filesystem using. Mount the ext3 filesystem image using a loop device. Move the NTFS mountpoint to the new filesystem root. Switch to the new filesystem root. Everything above is performed from initramfs, thus giving an opportunity to do that smoothly and to let the USB stick be used to boot the kernel only. At this...

Tired of autotools? Try this: mk-configure — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2014/03/24/mk-configure-tired-of-autotools-try-this

And shell script snippets instead of monstrous libraries written in. Interleaved with shell scripts. As the result, there’s no need in a separate step of package configuration or bootstrapping the configure script, everything is done by just running. Or a convenience wrapper for it,. Which prepends a proper library path to bmake arguments, so you don’t have to specify it yourself. Try it for your project, you may really like it. I already did. And report bugs.

Clearlooks-Phénix update — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2014/02/05/clearlooks-phenix-update

Then GTK 3.6 came and broke the API once more. Jean-Philippe fixed stuff to work with newer GTK again, and everyone was happy again. But Empire striked back: GTK 3.8 brought more disruptive changes, rendering menus as ugly as never before. Unfortunately, Jean-Philippe was unable to cope with changes alone, he set up a mailing list to collectively develop Clearlooks-Phénix, but that didn’t help, and no fix has been released during more than half a year.

Not coming to FOSDEM — Andrew’s notes

https://blog.shadura.me/2014/01/27/not-coming-to-fosdem

Not Coming to FOSDEM. It turnes out moving to a different city takes more time and effort than I originally expected, so I’m skipping FOSDEM this year. That’s unlike I originally planned to spend the beginning of February I had my flight booked already, but apparently that’s not the best idea ever to go travelling right in the middle of relocation :).
