which takes a path as argument and gives back the file eg:

path2file ~/Documents/Programming/dvd-slideshow/dvd-burn
returns:
dvd-burn


This of course does not work for windows paths, but you can always exchange slash for backslash (only the escaped ones) to make it windows oriented

Edit: well of course there is already a tool for this in bash namely the history command with all its nice options. See for instance this tutorial.

svnrep=/home/asger/Documents/Programming/dvd-slideshow;
sudo mkdir -p /opt/dvd-slideshow/{bin,share/{doc,man/man.1}};
sudo mkdir /opt/bin; cd /opt/bin; sudo ln -s /opt/dvd-slideshow/bin;
cd /usr/local/bin; sudo ln -s /opt/dvd-slideshow/bin;
sudo cd $svnrep;
sudo cp dvd-* dir2slideshow gallery1-to-slideshow \
jigl2slideshow /opt/dvd-slideshow/bin;
sudo cp man/* /opt/dvd-slideshow/share/man/man.1;
sudo cp doc/* /opt/dvd-slideshow/share/doc/;
sudo cp dvd-slideshowrc ~/.dvd-slideshowrc;


I probably missed something with the links, because the system did not recognize the commands in the program… Therefore I took the cheezy solution and just reinstalled the broken .deb package and manually replaced the binaries with the new ones from the svn repository.

sudo cp dvd-menu dvd-slideshow dir2slideshow gallery1-to-slideshow \ jigl2slideshow /usr/bin


And now it at least is active again but I will still have to see if the old problems are solved, so stay tuned.

rsync -avR sourcefolder destinationfolder

There are some problems though with permissions though so be sure to allow reading and writing data across the interface…

• LAMNK – recipy for allowing vpn trafic – the vpn device (aka cipsec0) can be fond in the status tab in the firestarter GUI when loaded.
• Cisco – firewall trouble shooting.
• Firestarter – vpn guidelines.

Now /etc/firestarter/user-pre have been updated according to LAMNK’s directions with the ifa vpn server address and my cipsec0 device. Apparently the vpn device that is shown in the firestarter device list is wrong since it says cipsec instead of the real name cipseq0, and now things seem to work out fine.

Edditing of the user-pre file in firestarter, please note that this is empty per default.

• chmod 600 /etc/firestarter/user-pre.
• sudo gedit /etc/firestarter/user-pre.
• Follow instructions on LAMNK.com.
• sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter restart.
• Cross your fingers and try out the setup with your browser.

Enjoy!
