More scripts comming
Similar to the latest port, I will be putting more scripts that I use(d) here and there, since recently I found quite a few in my collection and I don’t want to lose them as well as want other people to use them if they need.
Upgrade went fine
It seems that the upgrade of WordPress went fine. Now I have the latest version of WP. Also upgrade all plugins and did some minor cleanup (like removing disabled plugins and similar).
If you will notice any problems here, please let me know.
No PrimeTel at my place
Thought to change my ISP to PrimeTel due to low prices, nice pings to quake server and availability of TV package, but unfortunatelly my area is not covered at the moment :-( So I have to stay with what I have for a time being.
Work Permit
Finally, after all those attempts and fights and I got my working permit in Cyprus for the next 2 years!!! And I am officially employed by EuroOrient at the IT position.
Ericsson p910, Linux, Mobical
Finally I got my p910 back from the repairs (had problems with screen). Playing around with it during weekends (oh yes - I was missing it a lot) and I have managed to sync my contacts from p910 via bluetooth and my laptop running fedora 8 to mobical. This was more than critical for me after I didn’t have access to my phone contacts for few months.
The major problem for me was to make p910 utilize internet of my laptop through bluetooth. There are a lot of how-tos, but all of them were missing smthing :(. Here how it worked for me (originally found here):
Put the following into /etc/ppp/peers/dun
460800
debug
ipcp-accept-remote
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2
MS-DNS <IP of DNS server used by linux box>
lock
crtscts
noauth
defaultroute
Then put this to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp –icmp-type any -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p UDP –dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state –state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT –reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
*mangle
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -j MARK –set-mark 0×9
COMMIT
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -m mark –mark 0×9 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT
Then run the next set of commands (as root):
/sbin/service bluetooth start
/sbin/sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
/sbin/service iptables restart
dund –listen –encrypt call dun
Here we finished with Linux setup. Now get yourself a GnuBox application for p910. Follow the instructions on how to set it up on the GnuBox website. Finally, open gnubox, go to Options -> 2box Bluetooth -> LAN Access server, select your linux box in a list of devises, tell “Yes” when asked about encryption. Done, now you can use internet with “Bt” dialup account from your phone (refer to GnuBox setup instructions) and it will take you the whole path through linux to internet :)
The mobical part is easy - just register there and you will get an auto-configuration SMS for your p910. Now you can sync in any direction :)
