Debian Eabi Console Mode Powered :), lightweight but working console mode utilities ! Options

[jpmatrix]

Installed today:

-calcurse : calendar, todos & tasks

-irssi : irc

-ncftp : ftp, but i prefer to use mc

-moc : music player
start it with mocp
then run alsamixer and set "jack function" to headphone to have sound working (at last!) in headphones !

-raggle : rss reader

-iptraf : network monitor

-centericq : multi IM - crash on launch...i've to try another one (finch?)

[Vitel]

In addition to the utils mentioned above, that's what I use:
browser: elinks
e-mail client: mutt
multiprotocol IM client: finch
dictionary: sdcv
console image viewer: fbi

BTW, has anyone tried to write console cpu overclocker?

hello
that's a topic for me, who work about only in console...
so resume :

screen of course... for "all"

abook -> adresse book
mutt -> mail client
irssi -> irc (may do multi - IM)
snownews -> rss reader
slrn -> nntp reader
lftp -> ftp (of course...)
w3m-img -> w3m with image !!!
imagemagick -> to display, conveert, composite (...) image.... the gimp in console.
cmus -> musique
mplayer -> musique and film
tmsnc -> msn client
weather -> to get the weather
cron / at -> you know what it does, right ?
conky --> to replace gkrellm
and... vim , and TeX
bc -> calculator
for, while, case, until, grep, sed, awk (...) -> some bash-scripting that permit me not to launch some heavy programs and to print information i need only with a tail -f of the file i'm creating with the info.



@vitel : i wrote the cpuoverclock.sh .... you want it ? come on #debian-zaurus @irc.freenode.net
i'm sorry, i prefer not to put here for the moment the url because of the google bots... and my "site" isn't "finished" yet... so i'll give the url to anyone wants on the irc channel i just told before. sorry. (maybe i'll put it in topic).

well, i forgot to tell

my cpuoverclock is mostly inspire by cpuoverclock.py , that we have with install of yonggun kernel
it seems that not all of you will be able to launch this script, because you wouldn't have correct directory, correct program to change the cpu-freq...
for the moment, you normally would'nt have any problem if you're using a PXA-270 with debian with 2.6.23.1-yonggun (it's my config, i wrote it originally for this one).
let me know, please, your config, and where would be the files/directory in your system, that i adapt the script for support most config.
the script test if you have the directory/prog ... it'll tell you if you don't. so please, again, tell me how it fails on your box, and your config, in order it would begin "portable", for the fit of everyone.

note : frequencies : 416 and 624 -> woks perfect
frequencies : 104, 208 and 520 -> some screen flickering sometimes. annoying. but is it dangerous ? (i mean, if the screen is turn off, and we run this mode (104, 208) in order to save cpu ... would it do a problem ? to dig...)
frequency : 312 -> bug freezing (very discretly) the zaurus... all seems to work at the beginning, but the more you try something, it just freeze, then another, freeze too... then you try to "sudo /sbin/reboot" ... and you just have to pull off battery and power cable. will it do the same at your home ?

if someone has cpuoverclock.py on a yonggun kernel, could he try, before trying my script, to see if same problems as the ones describe above happens (it should, because the shell command is the same on cpuoverclock.{py,sh} .

hello
that's a topic for me, who work about only in console...
so resume :

yeah i thought about you when i created this topic

i've just tried centericq and it segfaults on launch (quickly)....
i'll try finch later

To me, Emacs is the virtual OS when it comes to console mode.
(I will compile and package the latest Emacs23 very soon. )

[jpmatrix]

-moc : music player
start it with mocp
then run alsamixer and set "jack function" to headphone to have sound working (at last!) in headphones !

oh i've just discovered that moc put some information in the "screen" (the console mode window manager) toolbar !
cool!

[jpmatrix]

weather -> to get the weather

little howto so far:

1) apt-get install weather-util

2) nano ~/.weatherrc

[default]
City = Paris Le Bourget
ID = LFPB : find it on http://www.weather.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml

3) then type "weather" to have a weather report

You can simply run 'apm' command with no arguments, it does exactly the same thing.
