Fix @ (at) character problem with Ubuntu in Macbook

If you can't write the @ character in Ubuntu, you should do this:

1. System > Preferences > Keyboard
2. Go to Keyboard Distribution label
3. Click Options
4. Look for something like "Key to access the third level" (sorry, my Ubuntu is Spanish ;-)
5. Select the key you are used to use when typing the @ symbol (I selected the "Alt" key)

That's all,
Enjoy!!

Install Qt Ruby (qt4-qtruby) in Linux / Ubuntu

Hi!!
You only need to do this:

sudo apt-get install ruby libqt4-qtruby

Maybe you need to install "qt4-dev-tools" if you do not have Qt4 libraries installed in your system.

Enjoy!!

PS: here I include a sample code to test if it works fine:


require 'Qt4'

app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)

window = Qt::Widget.new()
window.resize(200, 120)

quit = Qt::PushButton.new('Quit', window)
quit.font = Qt::Font.new('Times', 18, Qt::Font::Bold)
quit.setGeometry(10, 40, 180, 40)
Qt::Object.connect(quit, SIGNAL('clicked()'), app, SLOT('quit()'))

window.show()
app.exec()



Error while compiling Qt 4.7.1 in Debian Ubuntu (solved)

Did you get this error?:

You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing  QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11

Just do this:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libfreetype6-dev libavahi-gobject-dev libSM-dev libXrender-dev libfontconfig-dev libXext-dev

Join.me: escritorio remoto sencillo vía web

https://join.me/ es un nuevo servicio gratuito que permite que una persona (o varias) pueda controlar el ordenador de otra desde el propio navegador (no importa que sea Linux, Windows o Mac). Esto no es una novedad. Lo que sí lo es es lo sencillito que es utilizarlo, sin necesidad de pararnos a configurar router, cambiar puertos, etc.

Funciona de la siguiente manera:

1. vamos a la web https://join.me/
2. la persona que va a mostrar su ordenador hará clic sobre la flecha naranja. Eso hace que se descargue un programa, que se tiene que instalar.
3. ejecutamos el programa, y vemos que nos muestra como una dirección de internet. Esa dirección se la daremos a quien quiera ver nuestro ordenador (por correo, por el messenger, facebook, etc.)
4. los que quieran ver y controlar el ordenador de dicha persona sólo tienen que abrir el navegador, acceder a esa dirección y listo!!!

Pues eso, así de sencillo.

PD: me ahorrará muchos viajes a casas de amigos y familiares... lo presiento. Lo malo es que los tendré más encima :-(

Enable automatic spell checking in Emacs using flyspell

First you have to install the following packages:
Emacs (e.g. emacs-snapshot), aspell, and ispell.

Then, edit the .emacs file: e.g. sudo gedit (home dir)/.emacs

and add the following lines:

(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook '(lambda () (flyspell-mode t)))
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (function (lambda () (setq ispell-parser 'tex))))
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(setq ispell-dictionary "english")
(dolist (hook '(text-mode-hook))
(add-hook hook (lambda () (flyspell-mode 1))))

Google JavaScript V8 Engine compilation error

If you get this error while compiling V8 JavaScript Engine with scons:

//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

src/handles-inl.h: In static member function 'static void
v8::V8::RemoveMessageListeners(void (*)(v8::Handle<v8::Message>,

src/api.cc:3457: note: initialized from here
scons: *** [obj/release/api.o] Error 1
//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You have to edit the file named "SConstruct" and modify these
variables in this manner:

//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GCC_EXTRA_CCFLAGS = ['-fno-tree-vrp', '-fno-strict-aliasing']
GCC_DTOA_EXTRA_CCFLAGS = ['-fno-strict-aliasing']
//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You should delete the "if" structure and leave these variables alone.
Note that maybe you have to use "scons -c" to clean the old compilation files.
