Today I needed to install MC on my Mac.
So that is step-by-step guide:
– Installed MacPorts
Downloaded last version pkg from here http://www.macports.org/install.php and installed it
Then I tried to install MC (sudo port install mc) but got error:
Warning: The Command Line Tools for Xcode don’t appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.
I got installation hanged after this:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
so I checked if network is ok
nslookup ya.ru
it’s ok
then I removed fastestmirror cache and got things working
rm -f /var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt
Today I had an issue when userlist dissapeared.
I found a root cause (occasionally I made it thin) and fix:
/set gui_pane_right_size 100
then switch to another channel
I needed to find and replace string in all php files of current folder.
This is simple perl command:
find <path to directory> -type f | xargs perl -pi -e 's/old_string/new_string/g'
I have an issue when headphones and speakers on my Acer Aspire 7720ZG are playing together. This happens on Linux Mint 13 but it’s not an issue for Windows. So this is not hardware issue.
I checked lot of posts, bugs and manuals, but only one happened. Here it is:

I had this workable on MacOS because my source code editor supported FTP.
But on Linux Mint I found that my code editor (Geany) doesn’t support FTP and I needed solution (don’t want to switch to another editor).
The way is to mount remote ftp folder as local and edit files locally.
First of all install “curlftpfs”:
sudo apt-get install curlftpfs
I have system cache used a lot of memory after a long time of work with system so I looked for something what might clear the cache.
So these are scripts (available in 2.6.16 Linux core or newer):
sync echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
I’m using the last one.
[user@host ~]$ who
who – command which shows you who is currently logged to your server
During my workday I’m sending very often some screenshots or documents and Mail.app does preview for a lot of them by default. That isn’t bad, but lot of mail clients doesn’t recognize these docs as attachments.
The most easy way is to disable preview.
To make it possible (disable preview) please execute in terminal (command line):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
If you want to revert your changes then please do this:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
Mail.app restart might be needed after changes
If you can’t catch error in PHP script but something doesn’t work – add this to the beginning of your script:
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
this will allow you to see all errors.
