Google Reader

Error I always encounter this when trying to fetch some data or info into another website using ajax. In IE its working but in FF its not.

It is not possible to fetch data from another domain. It is a security issue of Mozilla/Firefox. Latest browser will not allow to do this job. If it is a cross domain issue then the solution are to change the current configurations of your Mozilla/Firefox or avoid the approach you are going on and change it as the way as the request and response occurs in the same domain.

Someone asked me what are the things to be consider when creating your own php.ini. I said of course disable global variables, upload / resources limits and session timeout. If you use php language then the odds are you may need to consider using a custom php.ini at some point. Here is my PHP configuration that I encourage you to have on your web server that I checked after .

Turn off Register Globals

register_globals = off

If you code with register_globals OFF, you only need to make sure you don’t leave any uninitialised variables that can be abused by attackers. But whether it’s on or off you will still need to validate any user input, so I prefer register_globals OFF, as it saves having to prefix all my variables with $_POST etc.

Avoid Opening Remote Files

allow_url_fopen = off

One of the useful abilities of PHP is the ability to open files remotely without any complex processing.

Many simple scripts use this ability, for example a comic viewer might open up images from a remote server just using the fopen function - which is ordinarily used to open files.

It is an ability has often been abused in insecure scripts though.

If you have a script which tries to open a file and the filename is controllable by a remote user two things can happen:

• Any file on the local system which the webserver can read can be viewed by the remote attacker.
• Arbitary commands can be executed upon your server if the user can cause a remote PHP file to be opened.

Disable session use_trans_sid

session.use_trans_sid = 0

PHP will add a unique PHPSESSID query pair to URIs within your site if cookies are not available and session.use_trans_sid is set. While this helps people who do not accept cookies, search engines will rank your site low.

With the release of PHP version 4.2.0 you don’t need to configure PHP with –enable-trans-sid to have transparent session support, this means that a lot more hosts will have it.

Without this feature you can usually choose between sending cookies to the visitor and modifying the URLs, with cookies being the default setting. Cookies do no harm (most of the time) but appending a query string to all URLs is quite different.

Turn on log_error and display_errors off

log_errors on
display_errors off

Disable Dangerous PHP Functions

disable_functions = proc_open , popen, disk_free_space, diskfreespace, set_time_limit, leak, tmpfile, exec, system, shell_exec, passthru

Turn on safe_mode

I highly recommend you enable safe_mode on production servers, especially in shared environments. This will stop exec functions and others that can easily prevent a security breach.

First of all, I want to thank Poell for inviting me to Joost.

First Try ( XP ) :

Nadownload ko na yung Joost under XP and hindi siya gumana, hindi ko din alam kung bakit. And wala akong balak alamin kung bakit. hehehe siguro dahil sa XP ko siya ginamit.

Second Try ( Kubuntu ) :

I try to install it in Wine and the installation didn’t seem to work properly, as not all files extracted. What I am going to try and do is extract it on a Windows XP machine, and then copy the files in my Kubuntu. And then I tried to run Joost under wine, but no luck. This is what my terminal looks like:

Dahil sa kagustuhan kong mapagana ang Joost at dahil may kaultukan pa din ako sa utak. Humanap at gumawa ako ng paraan. Ayun naisip kong tumingin mismo sa wine kung meron ba silang patch para dito. At meron nga at ito ang nakita ko.

Download you wine source here. Extract it and you need to apply the following patches:

• ntdll: use NtQueryAttributesFile in RtlDoesFileExists_U
• ntdll: NtAreMappedFilesTheSame semi stub
• ntdll: call NtAreMappedFilesTheSame to guard against duplicated loading of the same dll
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Select an onscreen context based on the thread by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Create multithreading contexts for swapchains by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: When multithreading, call glFinish after drawing by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Select offscreen contexts for new threads by Stefan Dösinger
• dsound: zero out parameters even in case of a error

And compile

cd tools
./wineinstall


In your wine configuration Tick virtual desktop with the size of 800×600, else the picture is shifted to the bottom.
Cd into the Joost directory then run wine xulrunner/tvprunner.exe application.ini

Then after that kuha ka ng boy bawang /or wonderboy (recommended) habang nanonood.

Dell + Ubuntu Updates :

According to Eweek’s Interview with Mark Shuttleworth “Dell will not include open-source software such as Wine, which lets users run Windows programs on Linux, with the PCs it plans to bundle with Ubuntu Linux“.

As for wine user, it is very easy to install in [*]Ubuntu, so that will not be a problem for any users of these Dell laptops to get it installed.

Yesterday I update my beryl and after the updates, I turned it off and sleep. And first thing in the morning my wife open my pc for me. And she wakes me up wondering what happen to my desktop and tedent! A fully white display in my screen. Actually my pc continously working but there are thing that I can’t see except the white window(s), white desktop and white shadows.And here are the options on how to get your beryl worked.

• Downgrading your copy of beryl to rc1 ( I still want my new version of beryl rc3 :p kase puro na lang dowgrade, downgrade na nga wp ko pati ba naman beryl downgrade din )
• Change your rendering path from Automatic to Copy / or simply type this command into your terminal ( i tried but was slow thus it hungs my system ) :beryl-xgl --use-copy && emerald
• By changing startxgl.sh from ( I recommend this one ):
  #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -br -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:1
cookie=”$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 9)”
xauth -i add :1 . “$cookie”
exec startkde
  to :
  #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -br -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:0
cookie=”$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 9)”
xauth -i add :1 . “$cookie”
exec startkde

note : this is based from the error i encountered but it seems that things work properly im not saying that this is the solution if you will still encounter some error feel free to post a comment. thanks to pinsan kinz.

first read this for your videocard requirements. then add the following line which is suitable for you into your /etc/apt/sources.list.

for stable

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib

for testing

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib

for unstable

deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian unstable contrib

i suggest use the stable one. then update using the following command

sudo apt-get update

and install looking glass using this one

sudo apt-get install lg3d-core

you will need to accept the licenses for lg4d, jdk and java to complete the installation. and after that you need to end your session/log out and choose from gdm/kdm the looking glass session and now login. tedentttt!

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 2, in ?
import berylsettings
ImportError: No module named berylsettings

i encountered that error recently…
and here is my solutions : edit /usr/bin/beryl-settings with root permission on line says

#!/usr/bin/env python

change it to

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

enable your Treviño’s repository and type this to your console

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install beryl-settings-bindings

and if you get this ( on the above operation this will automatically install python-all but still I get this error )

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 3, in ?
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

install this

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-glade2

and if you get this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 1421, in makeCategoryArea(Category) File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 1268, in makeCategoryArea CatBasePixbuf = gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size("%s/%s"%
(BaseDir,CatImages[Category.Name]),IconSize,IconSize)
gobject.GError: Unrecognized image file format

something like that, install this one

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-common

note : this is based from the error i encountered but it seems that things work properly im not saying that this is the solution if you will still encounter some error feel free to post a comment

soucelink : beryl , Treviño

thanks to Treviño for keeping his repository/package updated. and keep up the good work!

Alien

Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from anotherdistribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can usealien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it.

Last month I have a problem on how to handle RPM files in Kubuntu. since os ko ay Kubuntu and doesn’t support rpm files so akala ko wala na akong pagasa. And hindi ko naman naisip na meron palang Alien. And now ko lang ulit naalala kung meron bang parang crossover or something like Wine na you can execute Windows Executables in Linux Platforms. Kaya nag surf ako and i got Alien.

Make sure na naka enable ang universe repository.

sudo apt-get install alien

and para naman sa crossover move ng alien

alien -k filename.rpm

Isa sa mga pinaka makulit na shortcut! I always lost my code once i hit stubborn shift+backspace accidentally. Here’s the code to disable it :

xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server'

ito ang una kong plugin na nagawa ko. copy nyo lang sa plugin directory then activate nyo sa wordpress admin panel then lagay nyo lang itong code na ito.

<?php weatherforecast(); ?>

pero ilagay nyo ito para mas safe or walang error kapag na deactivate nyo na ang plugin.

<?php if (function_exists('weatherforecast')) { weatherforecast(); } ?>

parameters ng plugin e.g. weatherforecast(“RPXX0006“, “c”);

1. localcode ( string ) : localcode or US zipcode ( default : “RPXX0006” )
2. unit ( string ) : unit ng weather depende sa inyo C or F ( default : “c” )
3. title

Note For Widgets Template : Activate nyo sa plugins nyo then go to Presentation then Widgets then ayun na dun nyo siya maseset title, localcode, unit.

Salamat nga pala kay jason vega para sa ideas nya about Widgets.
