Dual boot : Windows8 and Debian mint

if you want to dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 on a computer with UEFI firmware, this steps given in this tutorial will work also.

Getting From Here To There: To successfully set up a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and Linux Mint Debian 2, you’ll need to have access to a Windows 7 computer. After that, enough space has to be recovered from the C drive to use for installing LMDE 2. Then you’ll download an installation image of LMDE 2, transfer it to a USB stick and then install it alongside Windows 7 on the target hard disk.

To install LMDE 2, the following partitions have to be created:

• Root partition – mounted at /
• Home partition – mounted at /home
• Swap partition

If you’re new to disk partitioning in Linux, take a moment to read Beginners to disks and disk partitions in Linux before embarking on this fun adventure.

Get on a conference call in seconds by copying in this email address

Setting up conference calls can be a pain, but with this new service, it doesn’t have to be. All you need to do to set up your next meeting is copy in this email address: talk@anymeeting.com.

Anymeeting, the company behind the new service, launched it today to help reduce the friction to actually getting on a call. Once you copy in the email address, all attendees get a reply from Anymeeting with the conference call details.

The service doesn’t require an account to get on a conference call and the only limitation is you can’t have more than 200 attendees. This makes it great for a quick work phone call, setting up the football team or even a family call.

The only drawback I found when trying the service was that it signed me up to their newsletter once I’d used it, but it was easy enough to unsubscribe. There are paid plans available for Anymeeting’s more advanced service if you need fully-fledged phone conferencing.

If you need a quick, free, no frills service for getting on a conference call, Anymeeting’s new service might just do the trick.

Activate WhatsApp Calling Feature

WhatsApp's latest voice calling feature that had been under testing is finally available. The WhatsApp voice calling feature is enabled in the latest version of the WhatsApp Messenger that is now available for download for Android devices on Google Play (version 2.11.561).

However, the feature doesn't come right away to the users. Those who want to have the voice calling feature will need an invite, in the form of a WhatsApp call from any other WhatsApp user who has the feature activated on his/her app.

The steps involved are fairly simple:

1. Go to Google Play and download/update the free WhatsApp Messenger app.

2. Ask any other WhatsApp user you know with the voice calling feature activated to call you via WhatsApp.

Post the call, a user can find the WhatsApp voice calling feature activated on their phones and a new 'Calls' tab to the left of the Chats and Contacts tab on the WhatsApp home screen.

While there have been unofficial APKs floating around promising the feature, but it is advisable that users install the app from Google Play or the official WhatsApp website.

How to enable WhatsApp voice calls (with root)

In case none of this is still working for you, there is another way for rooted users to force the feature onto their phones, but it is a bit of a pain, as you’ll need to be connected to your PC and open a terminal every time you want to WhatsApp call someone (until it is enabled permanently for you).

Just open a terminal emulator and enter the following command:

su -c am start -n com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.HomeActivity

HAProxy (High Availability Proxy)

HAProxy(High Availability Proxy) is an open source load balancer which can load balance any TCP service. It is particularly suited for HTTP load balancing as it supports session persistence and layer 7 processing.

HA Proxy Setup  :

I was working with Apache Webserver from very long but when I jumped into the world of NodeJS I started loving websockets. Soon I was planning to integrate my PHP applications with NodeJS. I was happy to use both, till I was not running both the applications on default web service port 80. But when I tried to configure Apache virtual hosting for proxying my request to NodeJS server port, it was not allowing my websocket communication to happen. I tried alot of modules but didn’t got success. And after alot of googling I found something which helped me to achieve what I need. Once I configured HAProxy on my system I was able to serve both applications, PHP and NodeJS through port 80 just by virtual hosting of HAProxy.

How to Increase PhpMyAdmin Session Timeout from 1440 seconds

phpMyAdmin is one of my favorite tools and I use it all the time. But man, the 24-minute session timeout is a huge problem . A short cookie lifetime is all well and good on your production server, but what about when you’re just testing new things  away on the computer in your test envirnment?
Did a little grepping and found that you can override this setting, even though it’s not documented anywhere but in the codes (so far as I can tell). To override it, just open up config.inc.php in the root phpMyAdmin directory and add this setting (anywhere, but  mostly at end of file):
phpmyadmin config file for ubuntu Server : /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = <your_new_timeout>;

Where <your_new_timeout> is some number larger than 1800. Personally, I chose 28800, which is 8 hours.

Define how long a login cookie is valid. Please note that php configuration option session.gc_maxlifetime might limit session validity and if the session is lost, the login cookie is also invalidated. So it is a good idea to set session.gc_maxlifetime at least to the same value of $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'].
php.ini file for ubuntu Server : /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Disclaimer! It should go without saying that increasing the timeout is a (comparatively minor) security risk (but a risk nonetheless). Obviously, do not do this on your production server. And as always, proceed with caution.

Setting up a SVN Server on a EC2 Instance (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

Setting up an SVN server on my EC2 instance (on AWS), is a major problem whenever we connect svn using key-file(key.pem for AWS).
Here’s my situation:

• I have a micro EC2 instance hosted with Amazon.
• I used a non-standard port for ssh access
• I have a pem file provided by Amazon for access through ssh
• I run Ubuntu 14.04 Server on my EC2 instance
• On the client side, I’m running Ububtu 14.04 Desktop

With that out of the way, the first thing I had to do was insure svn was installed on my server and Desktop :

sudo apt-get install -y subversion

Then, on my EC2 instance, I want to create both the directory where I’ll store repositories, and the subsequently, create the repository itself. Permissions and ownership are of the utmost importance. This worked for me:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/svn/
sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /srv/svn/
svnadmin create /srv/svn/{repo_name}
Mind the {rep_name} placeholder above 

vim /svnrepos/conf/svnserve.conf

In that file add these three lines:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

Create a password file:

vi /svnrepos/conf/passwd

In that file add a line for your user:

# add users in the format : user = password
tony = mypassword
