Basic Concepts of UDDI, mindmap

January 23rd, 2010 bodom_lx No comments

Here I provide a tiny mindmap summarizing the basic concepts of UDDI.
I’m using it for studying Advanced Internet Technologies.

As sources, I used OASIS official specification and tutorialspoint.

First working method, test client written

December 22nd, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

Road to 0.0.1 for Dycapo. Today I succesfully wrote a first xml-rpc method accepting OpenTrip Core objects, that inserts a trip chosen by the driver.

def add_trip(trip, mode, source, destination)

Actually, the driver is automatically retrieved by the system, since we are waiting rpc4django 0.1.6 to come out and access User from requests. Moreover, only a source and a destination Locations can be specified.
But it works. It works fine.
The method is located at: server/trip.py
I also wrote a tiny python client to test the remote call, located at: tests.

In a couple of days I should try to publish Dycapo 0.0.1. That’s what I hope :)

OpenTrip adoption, Models implemented and documented

December 12th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

At the end we decided to adopt OpenTrip. I could propose the Dynamic extension of the protocol, over XML-RPC.
By the way, I opened a GitHub repository to host the source code of Dycapo. At this moment I just implemented and documented the models.
Dycapo project source code is hosted on: http://github.com/BodomLx/dycapo.

Network Manager on Slackware 13.0, the dirty and easy way

December 4th, 2009 bodom_lx 2 comments

I love to be back to Slackware, my very first distribution. However, there are a couple of things that I’m missing from the other more comfortable distributions. From among them, I totally miss Network Manager.
I saw many people asking in forums on how to install Network Manager in Slackware 13.0. There is Wicd, already present in Slackware “repositories”. Every Slackware maniac will tell you that it does the same job of Network Manager, but I don’t agree. It does not always work and is more complicated to be configured than NM.

Anyway, I’m going to explain to Slackware newbies the dirty way to have a fully working Network Manager on Slackware 13.0. This method is totally against Slackware philosophy and will also replace some important libraries of the system! Anyway, the packages being replaced are prepared from the guys behind GNOME SlackBuild, a project to bring Gnome in every Slackware release.
You have two way to have Network Manager in your Slackware: either install the entire Gnome from them (or any other similar project) or use slapt-get against their repositories and just install Network-Manager. Here are the instructions. All the following actions must be performed as root user:

  1. Download, install and configure slapt-get. Instructions are provided on their website.
  2. Update your system with:

    slapt-get –update
    slapt-get –dist-upgrade

  3. Add GNOME SlackBuild repository in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:

    SOURCE=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gsb/gsb-current/

  4. Update the list of available packages and replace some system packages:

    slapt-get –update
    slapt-get –add-keys
    slapt-get –install –reinstall alsa-lib bluez glib2 gtk+2 libwnck

  5. Now install Network Manager and its GTK applet:

    slapt-get –install NetworkManager network-manager-applet

  6. Be sure that dbus, hal and NetworkManager daemons will be loaded at boot time:

    chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc.hald /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager

  7. Add your user to the plugdev group. Edit /etc/group, find the line

    netdev:x:86:root

    Add your username after root (bodom_lx is my case)

    netdev:x:86:root,bodom_lx

  8. You are quite finished now! Log back as normal user and create a startup script for network-manager-applet:

    cd ~/.kde/Autostart/

    Create a file called nm-applet.sh with the following content:

    #!/usr/bin/bash
    nm-applet –sm-disable &

    Give it execution permission:

    chmod +x nm-applet.sh

    .

Reboot your system. Everything should work fine now.

To uninstall Network Manager and restore the system as it was before the installation follow these instructions, as root::

  1. remove any GNOME SlackBuild package using:

    removepkg /var/log/packages/*gsb

  2. Comment GNOME SlackBuild entry in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:

    #SOURCE=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gsb/gsb-current/

  3. Update your slapt-get sources and re-install the replaced Slackware packages:

    slapt-get –update
    slapt-get –reinstall –install glib2 libwnck alsa-lib gtk+2

  4. Toggle execution permission to the auto-started network-manager-applet. Log back as normal user and type:

    chmod -x ~/.kde/Autostart/nm-applet.sh

Feel free to comment any suggestion.
