Deluge On Ubuntu

Written by piju on September 9, 2009 – 12:33 pm -

Recently, i was thinking which one is the best torrent client for my personal use. then i choose deluge.

install using apt-get on ubuntu/debian/debian-based.

$sudo apt-get install deluge
$sudo apt-get install deluge-webui

i need startup files for deluge, then create /etc/default/deluge-daemon and add this

# Configuration for /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

# The init.d script will only run if this variable non-empty.
DELUGED_USER=”CHANGEME” # !!!CHANGE THIS!!!!

# Should we run at startup?
RUN_AT_STARTUP=”YES”

then, create /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

#!/bin/sh

Controleee – Control panel for Asus EeePC

Written by piju on June 29, 2009 – 8:30 pm -

ControlEee is an application written in Python/Qt4 that allows users to turn on/off bluetooth, webcam and wlan devices on a EeePC. Often these devices are not used and if they remain active, they increase the power consumption. So if you want your battery to last longer, it’s a good idea to turn them off.

At the moment turning off wlan device is not allowed because it causes a kernel panic (at least on the distribution/hardware I’ve tested this: Ubuntu-eee/AsusEeePC 901).

To run this application you need Python and Qt4 bindings. On a Debian/Ubuntu based distribution you can install them in this way: sudo apt-get install python-qt4
