systemd for Raspberry Pi
Hey everyone, i’m supposed to be doing the update of system to be optimized for rasp pi. My first release point is
the usage of the memory that is already exisiting, I will be doing more updates as we go on in this post, but this is my release point 0.1.
For now running fedora x86, and booting on runlevel 3 , this is what I am getting with the free -m -t command
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1000 350 649 0 27 263
-/+ buffers/cache: 59 941
Swap: 2015 0 2015
Total: 3016 350 2665
Better late than never
Holysmokes, this was one late post. I had a few things to take care of the last week so I couldn’t update my blog! I hope i can still get SOME marks for this RPM build lab here.
My last lab was uploaded on the 23rd but it was placed in the wrong category(I’m quite smart) so i doubt I got any marks for that too. Anyways, done with the chitchatting, lets get to the real stuff.
The first two commands I ran was
yum groupinstall "Fedora Packager"yum install rpmlint yum-utils
These were 2 commands that just installed the rpm testing app and the packager.
So on with the work!
First thing I did was put some files into the SOURCES folder!
That was simple enough. next thing I did was get the spec folder set up
dsNext thing I did was run the RPM build!
Last thing I did was just run it through rpmlint really quick
Thats about it, now lets get some REAL work done!
Installing stuff from source
Hi there! I’m just posting some info about me installing things from source. I’ve been testing this out for class and I want to show everyone what I did and how I did it.
First of all, I downloaded the packages that I wanted. In this test, I installed 2 different applications. One is called gawk, which is just a more advanced searching awk(command to search files), and the other one is a nifty little program called barcode. Barcode changes text info into barcodes and its quite an awesome program.
I’m only going to show the installation of the barcode program because the other one is installed exactly the same.
First of all, I downloaded the files.
This can be found here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/barcode/ (barcode)
http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/ (gawk)
After I downloaded these files, I used tar to unzip them. Here is a screenshot of the command I used
After that , I moved into the new directory that it created, and ran the configure file
This allowed my computer to create the make file in order to install, I ran the make command and it outputted this:
And VOILA. It was installed. Just a simple tutorial on how to install from source on Fedora. This took me about 10 minutes to find the right packages, and another 3 minutes to install, its very simple! I tried other programs such as mailman, but it required me to create a new user on my fedora machine which I didnt want to do (I was lazy). So this caused a bit of trouble while I was trying to find the right program
Errrday I’m Posting.
Hi Everyone!
This is my first post for the class SBR600. This class is one of the more interesting classes I do have, and I enjoy it a lot. I cannot wait until I get to actually blog about REAL work. My name is Alan Lau, and its my 6th semester here. I do school part time, and I enjoy it when i’m not at work. Where do I work? I work at Tigerdirect! It’s a great job to learn about the hardware aspect of computers, but I do enjoy the software just as much.

<AlanLau> Hey there!
<nhnguyen> hello!
<nhnguyen> are you in SBR600 at seneca?
<AlanLau> yeah, just testing out irc
<AlanLau> how are you liking the class?
<nhnguyen> same here : ) , looking forward to the stuff we will be doing in that class. they all sound really interesting
<nhnguyen> how about you?
<AlanLau> yeah, i just started working on my blog
<AlanLau> some really cool stuff, can’t wait for raspberry pi
Since we are still on topic, I believe Raspberry Pi is one great idea. Our generation has slowed down in terms of development of software (my generation is full of users..lol) I’m sure the Raspberry Pi can help people in more poor countries start learning code, and allow more of us to learn more code.
