1 Comment on Arch Linux ARM Installer for PinePhone

I started building an automated Arch Linux ARM installation and customization set of scripts to be used for the PinePhone. The aim is to make the process easier while still being able to customize every aspect of the OS.

Repository URL: https://github.com/Dejvino/pinephone-arch-install

Arch Linux ARM running LXDE, Firefox and Onboard keyboard.

Arch Linux ARM was the best OS for PinePhone I’ve seen so far. It might be due to personal preference, but I just love how you have the full power of Arch on your mobile phone.

And if Arch is not your thing, at least you can learn what are the steps required for bringing a Linux OS into a PinePhone.

Adding certificates to Java keystore

No Comments on Adding certificates to Java keystore

Java has its own certificate storage. At least in Arch Linux it is located in:

/etc/ssl/certs/java/

To add a new certificate there, run this command:

keytool -keystore cacerts -importcert -alias myrootcert -file /path/to/MyRootCert.crt

(you might want to run that as root) As a password, the default is “changeit”.

I encountered this while setting up my Android project in IntelliJ IDEA, trying to do a Gradle build. Also the Android SDK tool was failing on an invalid SSL connection.

Projects page is open

I’ve opened a new page dedicated to the projects I worked on. You can find links to source code of various games and utilities. Every project entry is described in short and you know whether it was just an idea I didn’t have time to finish, or a fully working product. The list goes years back.

New Homepage

After uniting both of my personal domains (dejvino.cz and dejvino.com) to have the same content, I’ve prepared a new personal hompage.

Links:

www.dejvino.cz
www.dejvino.com

The purpose of this page is to act as a simple roadsign with directions to all of my projects and pages.
There is also a little “easter egg” floating around that page. Try to find it!

Linux udev USB automount script

1 Comment on Linux udev USB automount script

I’ve been wondering how to enable automounting of USB drives on my Raspberry Pi server. The sollution is pretty simple with udev on Arch Linux.

Create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules

Fill this script:

ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sda*", RUN+="/usr/bin/mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk-a"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sda*", RUN+="/usr/bin/umount /mnt/disk-a"

Run udevadm control --reload-rules to reload the rules.
Done!

Naturally you should modify the script to your needs. What this one does for me is that when sda1 is connected, it is mounted as /mnt/disk-a (and unmounted when removed). Adding more lines like this can be used to mount more / other drives.

Inferno vs. Java

An interesting read back from the year 1996 about Inferno vs. Java – http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/historical_documents/website/infernojava

Infernos with its programming language (Limbo) seemed like such an awesome project. Why did it not take off and why do we use Java instead? I guess some concepts just come too soon, before it is their time to shine…
