I have been using Mokee ROM on my ZTE Nubia Z9 mini for last six months. I got started with Android lollipop 5.1 ROM and soon moved to Marshmallow, while the stock ROM is stuck on 5.0.2. Generally this is the case with chinese OEM's but the phone is solid with more than one day of battery life, great camera and overall snappy response.  Anyway few weeks back I started seeing this file moving/ copying issue where the inbuilt file manager won't copy the files correctly. When I copied more than 1GB of files then it would fail to copy 1-2 files to memory card. This was infuriating.  I thought maybe it's the apps problem and tried ES file explorer. But with ES file explorer also I got similar issue. After using ES File explorer for about a month and noticing this issue a number of times, I decided to use some other file manager. Because this is a basic function and if a file manager is failing in this then there's some serious problem with the app.  So last week I stumbled u...

HP Deskjet 2131 is a basic All-in-one printer. It supports basic inkjet color printing, has a scanner for scanning and copying features. Package: The package comes with the device, power chord, USB cable, driver CD-ROM, demo cartridges which can print 12-16 pages, a manual and warranty card. The warranty is one year for device. The original cartridges come with six months warranty. Operation: I tried few black and white and color prints and the quality was good. Black and white printing speed is average, but not bad. I have seen some older inkjet printers which take one second to print one line. This is not that bad. One thing this printer lacks is it doesn't have automatic paper feeder tray, instead you have to feed papers by hand. This is not a problem for occasional home printing but if you have to take number of prints then you would soon get tired of feeding the pages. The color printing speed is good. I have not yet printed any photos on photo paper. I have ordered some 4...

My desktop at office was stuck on 12.04 for last two years. Recently I got moved to another project and the then critical collection of software and tools on the desktop suddenly became non-critical. So I decided to upgrade it. For last two days I pushed it through two distro-upgrades. And it has survived them and I can now use latest 16.04 LTS. Ubuntu is great!!!

Recently I saw that our combined printout count has risen quite a bit. So it would be good to get a printer. Then started a number of rounds of price and feature comparisons for a printer. Firstly there are two types of printers - laser and inkjet printers. If you look at the features a simple laser printer starts from INR 6K. A laser MFD(Multi-function device or all-in-one or Print-Scan-Copy) starts at 11K. I wanted a simple printer and a laser printer looked good. I could afford a 6K laser printer and didn't have to worry about ink cartridges drying if unused. But then wife raised requirement for scanning too which meant looking for a MFD. Now the problem was a laser MFD was outside of my budget so that meant I had to look for inkjet MFD's. I started looking for various products and the cartridge prices. The cheapest inkjet all-in-one was Cannon Pixma MG2470. It costed only 2.5K. But then I looked at the cartridge prices and found out Cannon cartridges are quite costly. The c...

Starting KDE from Command Line by startx By Zhiqiang Ma On Nov 29, 2012                 0 Keep updated Share on facebookFacebook Share on twitterTwitter Share on google_followGoogle Share on rssRSS I don't use xdm , gdm or kdm … I prefer my Linux booting to init 3 . I like logging in to the command-prompt and starting X manually with startx . In my Fedora Linux box, I always get to gnome even both gnome and KDE are installed. Actually the startx script is already written for most of the modern desktop environment. What we need to do is open the "trigger". The startx script in Fedora will read /etc/sysconfig/desktop for the "DESKTOP" variable (through /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients ) and starts the desktop environment depending on it. While the default value for "DESKTOP" is set to "GNOME" , we will get to gnome if we don't set the variable. When we want to startx to KDE we just need to add one line to /etc/sysconfig/desktop : DESK...

gsoap v2.7.16 ./configure su - make   make install Then into calc++ dir: soapcpp2 -i calc.h g++ -o calcclient++ calcclient.cpp ../../stdsoap2.cpp soapC.cpp soapcalcProxy.cpp g++ -o calcserver++ calcserver.cpp ../../stdsoap2.cpp soapC.cpp soapcalcService.cpp This compiles calc client app and calc server app. execute calcserver++ and after that execute calcclient as ./calcclient++ add 3 3 result = 6 Note: There's some delay observed. ---------------------------------------------------- with modifications to calc.h; calcclient.cpp and redoing all above steps from soapcpp2 -i calc.h; and running calcserver as #./calcserver++ 80 in one terminal and calcclient as $./calcclient++ add 5 6 gives correct output. So gsoap is working in Linux for both client and server. =========================================== Now to Windows *** using available binaries in C:\gsoap-2.7\gsoap\bin folder. Added soapcpp2 binary's path to PATH variable. Next using Visual Studio 2005 Command prompt; got to c...
