Configuration on Marko Apfel

Replace or keep existing configuration files during Linux updates/upgrades

Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:03:00 +0100

During updating/upgrading a fresh Moebius installation on a RaspberryPi with

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

it brought this question:

Configuration file `/etc/issue'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** issue (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

The default hint not to do that is mainly for longer running installations to avoid an overwriting of existing configuration files. In case of a fresh installation you should confirm with Y.

OneNote: Change location of Unfiled Notes

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 10:22:00 +0200

There are some links in google to do this. But no hint works for me.

So I tried some own ideas. And indeed – I found a simple solution without registry editing and so on.

Wise settings for Git

Thu, 31 May 2012 11:46:00 +0200

These settings reflecting my Git-environment. It a result of reading and trying several ideas of input from others.

Must-Haves

Aliases

[alias]
 ci = commit
 st = status
 co = checkout
 oneline = log --pretty=oneline
 br = branch
 la = log --pretty=\"format:%ad %h (%an): %s\" --date=short
 df = diff
 dc = diff --cached
 lg = log -p
 lol = log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
 lola = log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --all
 ls = ls-files
 ign = ls-files -o -i --exclude-standard

Colors

[color]
 ui = auto
[color "branch"]
 current = yellow reverse
 local = yellow
 remote = green
[color "diff"]
 meta = yellow bold
 frag = magenta bold
 old = red bold
 new = green bold
 whitespace = red reverse
[color "status"]
 added = green
 changed = red
 untracked = cyan

Core

[core]
 autocrlf = true
 excludesfile = c:/Users/<user>/.gitignore
 editor = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession –noPlugin

Nice to have

Merge and Diff

[merge]
 tool = kdiff3
[mergetool "kdiff3"]
 path = c:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe
[mergetool "p4merge"]
 path = c:/Program Files (x86)/Perforce Merge/p4merge.exe
 cmd = p4merge \"$BASE\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$MERGED\"
 keepTemporaries = false
 trustExitCode = false
 keepBackup = false
[diff]
 guitool = kdiff3
[difftool "kdiff3"]
 path = c:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe
[difftool "p4merge"]
 path = C:/Users/<user>/My Applications/Perforce Merge/p4merge.exe
 cmd = \"p4merge.exe $LOCAL $REMOTE\"

Restoring removed thumbnails in Google Chrome “New Tab” overview site

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:26:00 +0100

Normally the thumbnails at the new tab page are organized by how often you visited a page.

But after removing such a thumbnail by clicking the little gray cross at the right top corner deactivates the logic for this page on the whole. The page is added to an internal black list.

Running CopySourceAsHtml Add-in under Visual Studio 2010

Sun, 02 Jan 2011 10:41:00 +0100

Until now CopySourceAsHtml only supports Visual Studio 2008 out of the box.

But it is no problem to pimp up the config-file for supporting Visual Studio 2010.

Copy all three files to %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins
Open CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn in a text editor and change both lines with
<Version>9.0</Version> to <Version>10.0</Version>
Run Visual Studio 2010 and CopySourceAsHtml works fine

Hudson error: could not delete ..config.xml

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:44:00 +0200

Today we updated our Hudson CI-server. After changing job-configuration Hudson throws an error, that the config.xml could not be deleted.

But the new entries are correct saved.

Nevertheless such behavior bothers.

The trick was to update also the plugins. After that all works fine again.

Global SVN Ignore Patterns und Zeitstempel-Optionen

Mon, 31 May 2010 09:13:00 +0200

Globale Konfiguration

Die setzt man unter den globalen SVN-Einstellungen.

Diese öffnet man per kontextsensitiven Menü im Explorer:

Global Ignores

Standard

*.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo *.rej *~ #*# .#* .*.swp .DS_Store

sinnvoll sind für .NET-Entwicklungen und Visual Studio und ReSharper folgende Ergänzungen

*.suo *.csproj.user */_ReSharper.* *.ReSharper.user */bin */obj *.cache *.gpState

Der oft genannte Vorschlag *bin und *obj ist keine gute Idee da auch Dateien die mit bin enden unterdrückt werden (Something.bin oder Taschendiebin).

Integrating F# in SharpDevelop

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:10:00 +0100

After installing SharpDevelop 4 the F# Interactive could not be activated.

In my case the correct folder for the F# installation must by specified in die application config file. So i opened SharpDevelop.exe.config and set this entry in the appSettings section:

Sandcastle Help File Builder: Content Editor opens without functionality

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:52:00 +0200

If the content editor of SHFB opens without any functionality then the configuration file is corrupt.

This is repairable through deleting the config-files under C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR\_USER\_ID]\Local Settings\Application Data\Eric\_Woodruff\...

Sometimes an error occurred during opening content editor next time. In this case you must study the message. Often you have created a not XML-wellformed content file. Open your last used files with an other XML-editor and look for the place which is described in the message. After fixing the prob you must close SHFB, delete the config-file again and reopen your SHFB-project.

Hierarchy of log4net-loggers (namespace vs class)

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:02:00 +0100

If you want specify log-parameters for loggers of a whole namespace normally you use a scheme like

<logger name="GrandNS.ParentNS.ChildNS.\*" ..

this is the same like

<logger name="GrandNS.ParentNS.ChildNS" ..

There is no ambiguous name possible, because it is not allowed to define a class with the name of a namespace at the same namespace-level.

Konfigurationfile für eine Library lesen

Thu, 10 May 2007 16:20:00 +0200

Beim Verwenden des Standard-Mechanismus zum Lesen von Konfigurationsdaten wird immer die config-Datei der EXE gelesen.

Soll eine DLL über eine eigene Konfigurationsdatei verfügen, verwendet man die Klasse ExeConfigurationFileMap.

Beispiel:

 1: ExeConfigurationFileMap ecfm = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
 2: ecfm.ExeConfigFilename = "MyLibrary.dll.config";
 3: Configuration cfg = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(ecfm, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
 4: AppSettingsSection ass = (AppSettingsSection) cfg.GetSection("appSettings");
 5: string configValue = String.Empty;
 6: if (aSect != null)
 7: {
 8: configValue = ss.Settings["blabla"].Value;
 9: }
