Here’s a quick guide on how to download and compile wget for your box, alternatively if you’re lazy you can just download the zip file I’ve linked below and follow those instructions.

You may need to remove all external USB drives/memory sticks and reboot.

Here’s the solution:

Let me know in the comments if this helped or you found another solution!

Firstly you’ll need to add a few Link Settings.  In codeblocks you can find the settings page shown below under Project/Build Options/Link Settings.

Codeblocks Linker Settings

As you can see above, you need to add “libws2_32.a” to the Link Libraries and “-lwsock32″ to the linker options.

Additionally:

You may need to add the following to your code:

undefined reference to `IMG_Load`

Here’s how to fix it:

Go to your compiler link options, in code and add

Just on a side note, the Arch Linux help page for Festival, suggests a fix that uses the “aplay” application, this is something which no longer seems to exist in the package mirrors.

Here’s the solution for getting Festival to work:

The trick here being launching Festival with “padsp” before it.

Feel free to leave a comment if this worked for you or you encountered a problem.

Although this will be similar for any Linux/BSD distribution, the instructions below focus on installing these fonts under Arch Linux.

First of all we’ll need to open up a terminal and get super user access

We then need to go to a temporary directory and download the msfonts.zip package:

Then we’ll need to decompress the zipped files and copy them to the universal fonts directory:

Once that’s done you can finish up by refreshing your systems font cache:

You should then find after you logout and back in again that you have new fonts available to use.

Shiny iPhone 4 still with protective wrap!

Having recently installed iOS5 on my iPhone 4, I was in a position where I had to reboot my iPhone whilst out and about.  Sadly at the time of writing this there’s only a tethered jailbreak for iOS5 for the iPhone 4.

What this means is that I have to have the iPhone connected to a computer everytime I boot, therefore I always try and avoid rebooting!  Luckily whilst I was out I had my netbook with me, so I downloaded the latest version of redsn0w and tried to enter DFU mode.

I must have tried 10 times to enter DFU mode, all resulted in the iPhone just displaying a black screen and the computer not detecting it.  I’m not new to this sort of thing so was a little puzzled.

When I returned home using the same hardware, I installed iTunes and this problem was suddenly fixed — I didn’t even need for itunes to be launched, just for it to be installed before the computer would recognise the iphone.

If your iPhone won’t enter DFU mode and you’re sure you’re pressing the keys in the correct combination, starting with the phone being off, make sure iTunes is installed!

Let me know if this helps you.

After launching xfce with the “startxfce4″ command, all I could see was a flickering mouse background with a broken panel in the top left corner.

After much Googling I found the solution that worked for me, so here goes.

First you’ll want to update the system, even if it is a new install!

If this fails or gives an error, it’s likely that you’ll need to remove your local files first:

This worked fine for me, after doing this xfce4 was instantly fixed. Good luck!

First log in on A as user a and generate a pair of authentication keys. Do not enter a passphrase:

a@A:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/a/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/a/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
3e:4f:05:79:3a:9f:96:7c:3b:ad:e9:58:37:bc:37:e4 a@A

Now use ssh to create a directory ~/.ssh as user b on B. (The directory may already exist, which is fine):

a@A:~> ssh b@B mkdir -p .ssh
b@B's password:

Finally append a’s new public key to b@B:.ssh/authorized_keys and enter b’s password one last time:

a@A:~> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b@B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
b@B's password:

From now on you can log into B as b from A as a without password:

a@A:~> ssh b@B hostname
B
