lm-sensors automatic deployment, issue with sensors-detect

 
If you wish to deploy lm-sensors on multiple diferent linux machines issue is with sensors-detect what ask you quite a few questions.
 
I asked on IRC and got few suggestions. First one is if you wish to accept defaults which sensors-detect suggest you need just to press [ENTER] all the time. To automate this use this one liner:
 
(while :; do echo ""; done ) | sensors-detect
 
If you wish to override defaults and answer YES to all questions then use this oneliner:
 
yes "" | sensors-detect

Enable ad-hoc wifi networking on Android

 
Google has disabled wireless ad-hoc networking in Android from day one. Underlying Android libraries and wifi stack support adhoc networking and so far Google has provided no explanation why it still, even after four years, leaves adhoc disabled.
 
There has been huge outcry from Android users over this issue, but there is still no answer from Google Android developers.
 
There are few suggestons on xda-developers forum, and also on Stackoverflow, but most solution so far consisted of using new rom that had ad-hoc support enabled or manually messing about system config files.
 
But wait, there is an app for that!
 
There is an app called WiFi Ad Hoc enabler that should work on most Android devices.
 
If this app works for you, please give it a good review or notify developer of any issues you encounter, but consider that not all Android devices are supported yet.
 
I would be very grateful if you would vote up my answer on Stackexchange.

WordPress post subject name in title (Rhianna theme)

 
Kernelreloaded uses Rihanna WordPress theme by Kineda, and I really love it.
 
One thing I still didn’t change from default is the was it displays posts. Currently no matter which page you are on title doesn’t change, and if you bookmark it you will get only blog name not the post name in the title :(
 
I checked the source of the theme and found the culprit in header.php and the default code is:
title ?php bloginfo('name'); ? /title
 
Because of some protections you can’t see full code on my blog, but check out examples at wordpress wp_title blog and how to change it.

OpenWRT installation from Tomato

 
I have an older Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 with Tomato firmware. Although I’m a hardcore Linux geek I never used OpenWRT, yeah, I know – shame on me ;)
 
OpenWRT wiki has installation instructions that explain how users should first install 2.4 linux kernel based image, set some nvram options, and then install or update to latest 2.6 based firmware image, but WIKI has no links how to do an update.

iPhone IOS update issues

 
Every few months it’s same story again – I need to update my iPhone IOS firmware to new release because there are some cool new features, some new apps just won’t install without latest IOS or iPhone just became to crashy and unreliable that it needs a clean reinstall.
 
Sometimes update is done in mobile shop that some of my friends run and sometimes I do it myself. Because I do it so rarely I forget some of limitations set by Apple.
 

1. Upgrading IOS

- You can’t upgrade to any other but the latest IOS released by Apple.
- this bit me two times as I saw that latest IOS had some thing that I didn’t like to I tried to install to some other that latest version. This is just not possible.
 

2. Downgrading IOS

- You can downgrade only to IOS firmware that you had previously installed, jailbroke and saved shsh blobs from
 
So you can install only latest firmware released by Apple, your current one or previous ones that you have saved SHSH blobs from. Period.

Supress cp “Do you want to overwrite” prompt in Fedora

 
When you try to copy one file over existing one as root user in Fedora you will be asked to confirm that action, but as regular user you can overwrite existing files without any question. So you can easily overwrite your own personal files, GNOME settings, documents, images, etc.

Btrfs Fedora Remix

 
Currently I’m testing if it is possible to create btrfs live CD-USB Fedora Remix. If this works next release of Community Fedora Remix will have btrfs by default.
 
What you need to do is to edit Fedora kickstart file. Instead of just one line that creates single ext4 root partiion you also need a dedicated /boot partition. Currently it is not possible to boot from btrfs partition.
 
Original lines from Fedora kickstart files look like this:

part / --size 5000 --fstype ext4

And you need to change so it look like this:

part /boot --size 120 --fstype ext4
part / --size 6000 --fstype="btrfs"
bootloader --location=mbr --append="btrfs"

 
Keeping my fingers crossed that this works ;)
 
UPDATE:
This isn’t working, livecd-creator just fails when use kickstart file that is edited this way. I got a tip to try one different setup:

part /boot –size=128 –onpart=sda1 –fstype=ext3
part pv.01 –size=128 –onpart=sda2 –grow
volgroup VolGroup pv.01
logvol / –size=128 –vgname=VolGroup –fstype=btrfs –grow –name=root –fsoptions=ssd

 
This works so far that it creates iso image but it is ext3 image, and not btrfs?!? Any ideas on how to create btrfs livecd is more than welcome.
