What’s happening

Terminal Showing [Process Completed]

Okay, I searched over the internet and there was no solution for that. I even peaked many parts in the Mac OSX system to see if there were any mis-configuration, of course nothing helps. After all, I though if there is nothing wrong, it must be  something done with my /bin/bash. And after I upgraded my bash, my lovely terminal came back!

Change shell’s default execution

Change What Shell Opens

The truth is, when you open terminal, it execute /bin/bash. As it is not working now, we need another environment for us to execute stuff. Open “Terminal->Preference”, and change “Shells open with” manually to “/bin/sh”.

Update /bin/bash

Now we are going to download the latest version of bash and replace the old one. Open up a new terminal and now you are able to execute commands. Copy and paste the following codes into the terminal, they will automatically handle everything for you.

curl -LO ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf bash-4.2.tar.gz
cd bash-4.2
./configure && make && sudo make install
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash {user_name}
sudo bash -c "echo /usr/local/bin/bash >> /private/etc/shells"
cd /bin
sudo mv bash bash-old
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash bash

Once done

Go to “Terminal->Preference” again and change :Shells open with: back to “Default login shell”. Enjoy!

Solution in Detailed

What I did?

Okay, I admit that I did something to the system sometimes ago. I was doing some experiments on “sandboxing” and played with “chroot jail” stuff before. That is, I need to create an environment with restricted support to the program I run. So I wrote a sandbox, configured it’s root to a ‘secure’ place (anywhere not the actual root), and copy essential executables to that new root. Well, so far I think I didn’t do anything harm to the system, but I might corrupt the /bin/bash when I copied it to the sandbox root.

Diagnosis

Playing with Shell

Shell will run the following files before letting user to do anything. Check everyone to see if there are any misconfigurations.

• ~/.bash_profile (for /bin/bash)
• ~/.profile (for /bin/sh)
• /etc/profile (for /bin/sh)
• /etc/bashrc (for /bin/bash)
• (google for more)

To play with, add some echoes to see if they works. Btw, I love nano more than vi, so try out “sudo nano /etc/bashrc”.

Another thing

The code above updates your bash to version 4.2. To check if there is any new version, go to the ftp.
ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/

First, create a symbolic link from your actual folder to htdocs. For example, ln -s /Users/Nicholas/Documents/Xampp\ Workspace /Applications/Xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/nicholas.

<Image Pending>

However, this is not done because the owner of your directory is Nicholas, but not “nobody”. Also, we cannot change the folder’s owner to nobody as this is actually an illegal owner. So what we gonna do is add Nicholas as the user in Apache. [Caution: This can actually create a security issue on your computer, since now the Xampp can access files of the user Nicholas]
<Image Pending>

To do that, add “user Nicholas” to the end /Applications/Xampp/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf. Then restart Xampp.

An new application “InstaMusic Beta Channel” will show up in Android Play Store soon. This application aims to provide a cutting-edge version of InstaMusic. This app could be unstable, lots of force closes, however this helps me kill bugs in the program. For those who only wants a stable music playback, please download the original “InstaMusic”.

As a new version is coming out, I have created a feature list presenting the main improvements done or working on.

1. Stability
   InstaMusic has been unstable for a long time. Music stops suddenly without telling. After a deep diagnosis, the core reason leading this bug is found, and a fix is patched! Music never stops now!
2. Loading Speed
   Media loading speed has been a big concern for me while generating the music list. Long loading time affects user experience and might hinder other operations. Anyway, I have designed a new architecture specially for the list generation. This assured an optimised, low memory usage, synchronised and dynamic list generation.
3. Jelly Bean Support (Working in Progress) 
   There are lots of new features and supports from platforms beginning from Android 4.0 such as notification controls and new theme styles. I am working on making use of those new features and to create a whole new user experience for users!
4. Editable Playlists integrating with Favourite List (Working in Progress)
   In the next version of InstaMusic, Favorite List will be integrated into Playlist. The reason is… actually there is no reason to separate them lol.

Thank you for your supporting so far. Please comment below and tell me what you think on InstaMusic!

var str = "hello world";
str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/b[a-z]/g, function(letter) {
    return letter.toUpperCase();
});
alert(str); //Displays "Hello World"

Making it as a function, we can do this.

function capitalize(str) {
    return str.toLowerCase().replace(/b[a-z]/g, function(letter) {
        return letter.toUpperCase();
    });
}

First, make sure your Galaxy S2 is running Android version 4 or above.

Volume Down + Power Key will work fine.
Press both keys at the same time gently. In about 1 second, screen capture would be done. A notification and an animation would be shown too.

Edited on 12 July.

Press and hold power and volume down button together. This is the way to take screenshot in the new Android system 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. After the Samsung Galaxy S2 updated to this new version, it uses this method instead of the way mentioned in my old post.

As a record, I had my blog in BlogSpot and WordPress before, and now they are redirected to nicholasworkshop.

Anyways, it is finally here and thank you for checking out my blog!

Happy lunar new year to all.

I am flattered. In less than a month since I put the InstaMusic to the Android Market on 27 Dec 2011, today it has already more than 10,000 downloads. To be honest, I never expected this.

If you are uninitialized, InstaMusic is a music player android application with simple and stylish outlook.

There are all kinda music player in the world, in my opinion, a player with style and an pleasant appearance would always become the famous one. Here I would like to thank you for downloading and trying InstaMusic. Especially those fans of minimalism who supported me and AndroidStatic who gave InstaMusic a pleasant review in the post “Instamusic Is A Minimal, Slick Music Player That You Should Download Now“.

Looking back the day that I began my developmement, the reason for me to kick started is that I was really unstatisfied with the music players on the Android Market. Admittedly, I am a perfectionist and I want every part of a music player to meet user’s ways of thinking. So, I hate album artworks to be scratched and unable to tell what album is it. I also hate a song sung by different artists will be will be isolated from the album. And millions of things to list.

Okay, let’s get back to talk about the my next build of InstaMusic. I am sorry for the long waited update. In code level, I really did an upside down on InstaMusic. And as expected, lock screen player is implemented already, but there are just some bug and pressure testing work to do before it can really come out to meet its users.

Mac

On mac, we can install it easily with the app store.

Ubuntu

But in ubuntu, it is not available on the software center. But you can still get it through command line. Turn on terminal and input the following one by one.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install caffeine

After all, in programming, we gather these data to do the checking. First in JavaScript:

if (/(iPhone|iPod|iPad)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    /* This is iOS */
}
if (/Android/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    /* This is Android */
}
if (/BlackBerry)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    /* This is BlackBerry */
}
if (/(iPhone|iPod|iPad|BlackBerry|Android)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    /* This is one of the mentioned mobile device browsers */
}

And this is how it works in PHP:

if (preg_match('/iPhone|iPod|iPad/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
    /* This is iOS */
}
if (preg_match('/Android/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
    /* This is Android */
}
if (preg_match('/BlackBerry/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
    /* This is BlackBerry */
}
if (preg_match('/iPhone|iPod|iPad|BlackBerry|Android/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
    /* This is one of the mentioned mobile device browsers */
}

Gizmos.color = Color.green;
Gizmos.matrix = transform.localToWorldMatrix;
Gizmos.DrawWireCube(Vector3.zero,Vector3.one);

git filter-branch --commit-filter '
  if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_NAME" = "old_name" ];
  then
    GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="new_name";
    GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="new_name";
    GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="new@email.address";
    GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="new@email.address";
    git commit-tree "$@";
  else
    git commit-tree "$@";

The principle is this, ssh connection establishments requires verification using the computer unique key of both devices. in order to simplify this step, we can generate a public key of your computer in advanced and which allows other to identify you. While you put that public key in the remote device as authorized key, you can kinda fast forward the process.

step 1: open terminal and “ssh-keygen -t dsa”
step 2: open “.ssh/id_dsa.pub” and copy content inside
step 3: open new tab in terminal and ssh server
step 4: paste all content into /home//.ssh/authorized_keys

a@A:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
a@A:~> ssh b@B mkdir -p .ssh
a@A:~> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b@B ‘cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys’

First, put the following assets into the project “Resources” folder to let the program use.

• grossini.plist – The file contain the animation information such as frame details.
• grossini.pvr.gz – The texture file in pvr format which allow better performance in Cocos2D.

Second, add the following codes into the function init. Take a look at the comments for program explanation. =]

// Capture the window size
CGSize size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];

// Load the plist into the cache
CCSpriteFrameCache *cache = [CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache];
[cache addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"grossini.plist"];

// Create sprite with the first frame
CCSprite *sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"grossini_dance_01.png"];
sprite.position = ccp( size.width/2, size.height/2);
sprite.anchorPoint = ccp(0.5f, 0.5f);

// Create array for the animation frames
NSMutableArray *animFrames = [NSMutableArray array];
for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++) {
    CCSpriteFrame *frame = [cache spriteFrameByName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"grossini_dance_%02d.png",(i+1)]];
    [animFrames addObject:frame];
}

// Convert the array into animation
CCAnimation *animation = [CCAnimation animationWithFrames:animFrames];

// Run the sprite with the created animation and display it by adding it to the scene
[sprite runAction:[CCRepeatForever actionWithAction: [CCAnimate actionWithDuration:2.8f animation:animation restoreOriginalFrame:NO] ]];
[self addChild:sprite z:0];

After all, don’t forget to deallocate the resources loaded in cache in function dealloc.

// Deallocate the resource in cache
CCSpriteFrameCache *cache = [CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache];
[cache removeSpriteFramesFromFile:@"animations/grossini.plist"];

Finally, this is a screenshot. Enjoy. XD

Luckily, there is a way to make the game working again temporary. Technically, as the game is a transplant from Windows with the emulator tool Wine, the whole thing is just running a Windows program in Mac environment. Therefore it is possible to put the files of LoL in Windows back to Mac to trick the server that I am using Windows. Of course, please take your own risk to do the following steps. =]

Step 1: Download the Windows version of LoLLauncher.exe here.

Step 2: Replace the LoLLauncher.exe with the downloaded one under
/Applications/League of Legends.app/
Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/rads/projects/lol_launcher/releases/0.0.0.33/deploy/

Step 3: Relaunch the LoL and now you are able to update your game! Hope this fix would last longer! =]
