You can solve this by linking your ~/.gvfs directory to the bookmarks in nautilus.

1. Locate the .gvfs directory in your home directory (ctrl-h displays the hidden entries)
2. Right click on .gvfs and make a link.
3. Rename the “Link to .gvfs” to something like “Network”
4. Drag the entry from above to your bookmarks

You could omit steps 2 and 3 but you would end up with a not very descruptive link called .gvfs

1. When creating the report’s datasource you have to use the same name you use in your jACOB application. Otherwise jACOB will not be able to use your Report.
2. Create your report and specify the required parameters.
3. When having finished your report, upload the .rptdesign file to a document field in your application. (e.g. a config table)
4. The following code opens the report, hands over a parameter and returns a .pdf

	BirtReport rpt = new BirtReport(cnfrec.getDocumentValue("report"));
	rpt.setParameterValue("mypar", currentRecord.getStringValue("pkey"));
	byte[] barr = rpt.createPDF();
	context.createDocumentDialog(null, "doc.pdf", barr).show();

The Advantech Adam 6015 has 7 input channels for use with Pt100 and others. You can configure the module using a proprietary Windows Software where you can set the type of thermocouple as well as the module’s IP address. Once the module is available on your network you can create a small bash script to retrieve the values.

Take care when assembling the sensors. The Adam6015 has 7 input channels but only 6 COM clips. You have to use the COM clip #6 for #7 too. And this is not noted in the manual.

The script below now connects to the device using modpoll from the link above, extracts the 7 data channels including a 8th average channel and writes them to stdout.
Although the manual states that the values are available starting on address 40000 you have to start at address 1.

The values you receive are 16bit Integers. When your sensor now has a range of -50°C to 150°C you have to calculate them by
TempRange/2¹⁶*Value-50

Ok, I know that the bash script below is NOT state of the art, but it works

#!/bin/bash

rm /tmp/ad6015
rm /tmp/ad6015err
modpoll -mtcp -r1 -c9 -1 192.168.6.220 2> /tmp/ad6015err > /tmp/ad6015
errsize=`stat -c %s /tmp/ad6015err`
if [ "$errsize" = "0" ]; then

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[1\]:"`
out=${out#*:}
out=$(echo "200/65536*$out-50"|bc -l)
f1=${out:0:6}

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[2\]:"`
out=${out#*:}
out=$(echo "200/65536*$out-50"|bc -l)
f2=${out:0:6}

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[3\]:"`
out=${out#*:}
out=$(echo "200/65536*$out-50"|bc -l)
f3=${out:0:6}

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[4\]:"`

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[7\]:"`

out=$(echo "200/65536*$out-50"|bc -l)
f7=${out:0:6}

out=`cat /tmp/ad6015|grep "\[9\]:"`
out=${out#*:}
out=$(echo "200/65536*$out-50"|bc -l)
fa=${out:0:6}

echo "F1|"$f1
echo "F2|"$f2

Because TestDisk is a outstanding piece of software that is able to recover really almost everything

The indeed _very_ strange solution is to turn off LEGACY FLOPPY SUPPORT in the BIOS setup. If you don’t have such a setting (i.e like my Dell Precision T3400) and don’t have any floppy drive either then try deactivating everything that refers to floppy drives in the BIOS setup.

export i=0;
while [[ $((++i)) -le 254 ]];
do ping -c1 -w1 192.168.0.$i | grep ttl | cut -d " " -f4 | cut -d ":" -f1;
done;

There are a lot of companies around that offer GPS car logging solutions. But if you take a closer look on what they offer then you find out that they are not really flexible when you have non standard needs.

The following describes a work in progress. Basically it works as intended but it still has to prove it’s long time stability.

Hardware

In the cars we have installed a HTC Tattoo mobile phone without SIM card. The phone is placed somewhere behind the dashboard and connected to a 12V jack with as 5V USB plug. The 12V jack is connected to constant power.

The reason that we’ve chosen the HTC Tattoo is because they run Android and are quite cheap.

Phone Software

On the phone we are running a customized version of “GPSLogger for Android” and swiftp . GPSLogger constantly collects the GPS positions and stores them into a .gpx file in the SD-Card of the phone.

Swiftp offers a FTP server on the phone that is also accessible through the internet via proxy.

Collecting the data

Actually there a 2 ways on how to move the .gpx files to the webserver. Pushing from the phone or pulling by the server. We decided to pull the data from the server by a few simple ftp commands.

Displaying the data

In the first round we simply display the collected data by running GPX Viewer. In the second step we will add some filtering functionality. For example we want to be able to extract data based on a timeframe, compare 2 cars and so on. Therefore we’ll probably place a Open-jACOB software in between.

• Tree browser with drag and drop.
• Radio buttons to select functions.
• Hideable Forms
• Enum fields with I18N
• Tooltips. A combination of error messages and tips on how to correct.
• Foreign fields as combo box.
• Breadcrumb control.
• Single sign on functionality through CAS.
• Embedded transactions
• Dynamic changeable forms.
• Full text search on long text fields.
• Distinguish between primary and secondary DB’s in multiple databases, dependent on who owns the data.

Installation instructions can be found at openjacob.org

The Java Docs are here.

• Install network-manager-openvpn using synaptic
• I know it’s not linux style – but do a reboot know – just to insure that all services are running. I had no success with the next steps without rebooting. Or I’ve been too lazy searching for the services that needed a restart.
• Download the .p12 file from IPCop or ask someone to do it for you.
• Now you have to extract 3 certificate files out of your .p12 file.
  
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in (filename).p12 -out userkey.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in (filename).p12 -out usercert.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -cacerts -in (filename).p12 -out userca.pem

  Or download that script and call it with pkcs2certs.sh your-username.p12 and it’ll create the required files for you.
• Now place the files into your vpn configuration and make the settings match your zerina configuration (cipher, compression etc.)
