HOWTO: Creating a Local Yum Repository Using an ISO Image on CentOS 7.0

1. Create a mount point, for example /mnt/CentOS

 [ ]# mount -o loop CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1611.iso/mnt/CentOS


2. In the /etc/yum.repos.d directory, add and edit the repository files, such as CentOS-ISO.repo

[c7-iso]
name=CentOS-$releasever - ISO
baseurl=file:///mnt/CentOS/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1



3. Clean up the yum cache

 [ ]# sudo yum clean all


4. Install RPM package

 [ ]# sudo yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c7-iso install "package name"

Install the 32-bit C library:

 [ ]# sudo yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c7-iso install glibc.i686

How to disable start up sound in MacBook Air

It has puzzled me for a long time, especially at midnight.

$ sudo nvram --help

nvram: (usage: no such option as --)

nvram [-x] [-p] [-f filename] [-d name] [-c] name[=value] ...

-x                       use XML format for printing or reading variables

                          (must appear before -p or -f)

-p                       print all firmware variables

-f                        set firmware variables from a text file

-d                       delete the named variable

-c                       delete all variables

name=value      set named variable

name                 print variable

Note that arguments and options are executed in order.

$ sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80

HOWTO Install Codescape Debugger for MIPS on Fedora

The procedure is actually quite simple, but one patch is needed for the license manager.

1. Install Codescape
[ ]# chmod +x Codescape-Debugger-8.0.2.2.CentOS-5.x86.py
[ ]# ./Codescape-Debugger-8.0.2.2.CentOS-5.x86.py

2. Create the LSB linker/loader shared library for the License Manager
[ ]# sudo ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

The License Manager may fail when LSB 3 is not met
Starting the license manager issues the error:
   bash: /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/get_img_host_id: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

3. Register
[ ]# /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/Codescape-Debugger-Registration

4. That's it. We are done.

Without step 2, the registration failed with the following Error. 

The license manager will call following command to get the "Host ID".
[ ]# /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/get_img_host_id

HOWTO: recover deleted files from an ext3 or ext4 partition

extundelete

extundelete is a utility that can recover deleted files from an ext3 or ext4 partition. extundelete uses information stored in the partition's journal to attempt to recover a file that has been deleted from the partition.

But, there is no guarantee that the deleted file will be able to be undeleted!

For example:
[ ]# extundelete /dev/sdc1 --restore-all

extundelete will restore any files it finds to a subdirectory of the current directory named “RECOVERED_FILES”.

How to use OProfile on ARM platform
Default: timer mode, $ modprobe oprofile timer=1
$ opcontrol --reset
$ opcontrol --init
$ opcontrol --start --vmlinux=/tmp/vmlinux --session-dir=/tmp/linux
$ opcontrol --start-daemon

$ opcontrol --dump
$ opcontrol --save=output
$ opreport --session-dir=/tmp/linux session:output -l image:/tmp/vmlinux

Sample Rate = HZ

OProfile with performance counter
$ opcontrol --callgraph=8 --separate=kernel --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux
$ opcontrol --event=CPU_CYCLES:100000:0:1:1 \
                  --event=L1D_CACHE:100000:0:1:1 \
                  --event=L2D_CACHE:10000:0:1:1 \
                  --event=BUS_ACCESS:100000:0:1:1 \
                  --event=BUS_CYCLES:100000:0:1:1 \
                  --event=UNALIGNED_LDST_RETIRED:10000:0:1:1
$ opcontrol --init
$ opcontrol --reset
$ opcontrol --start-daemon
$ opcontrol --status
$ opcontrol --start

$ opcontrol --dump
$ opreport

Sample Rate = (CPU frequency in MHz) / (CPU_CYCLES count) / 64.
      The default value of CPU_CYCLES = 100000. The CPU_CYCLES can be changed as following               example “--event=CPU_CYCLES:125000".

      If CPU is running in 800MHz, the sample rate is 800MHz / 100000 / 64 = 125 samples per second.
