QGTKStyle : Make QT apps uses your GTK style

-
I'm a GNOME user (was a KDE user 4 years ago), but sometimes I had to use QT apps on GNOME. QT styles/widgets, ever since from QT3/KDE3, for some reasons, always a pain to my eyes (too shiny I guess). Quite some time ago, I heard about a project started to provide the reverse of gtk-qt-engine , which to make QT apps, uses GTK styles. The project is called, QGTKStyle. But that time, it was in infant stage, so I didn't get to run it.

Last night, while browsing the package list, I just noticed qgtkstyle in Fedora repo (dont know how long its been there, but anyway, YAY!!), installed it, and heres the result:

Before:



After:




Heres a guide on how to do it on Fedora 10:

Install the required stuff: qgtkstyle and kdebase-workspace (you'll need this to configure KDE4 apps to use GTK style.)

After installation, launch /usr/bin/systemsettings. At the appearance page, change style to GTK. Done. :D

(Edit: you may want to adjust the font settings and the mouse cursor settings to match your GNOME theme)

Couldn't you just use qtconfig-qt4 from the qt package?

@dextro,

I've tried that, apparently it does not work for KDE4 apps

I've installed qgtkstyle but I don't want to install a bulk of KDE stuff just to run a simple command (/usr/bin/systemsetting). I bet the systemsetting will save its information somewhere on the filesystem. If you could find it, it'd be great!

Tee'ing Python subprocess.Popen output

-
A little hack for python coders out there who wanted to have a functionality similar to the unix's tee command for redirecting output to multiple places.


import sys
from subprocess import Popen,PIPE
p = Popen(['put','command','and','arguments','here'],stdout=PIPE)

while True:
o = p.stdout.readline()
if o == '' and p.poll() != None: break
# the 'o' variable stores a line from the command's stdout
# do anything u wish with the 'o' variable here
# this loop will break once theres a blank output
# from stdout and the subprocess have ended

Consolidated community site infrastructure on Plone

-
In Inigo, we believe in helping out local FOSS communities and help them grow. We help out in community events where we can, present FOSS talks, and provide some platforms for local communities to grow. One of such platform is our consolidated community site infrastructure on Plone.

The system/infra and its components was originally developed for the Fedora Malaysia website, while keeping in mind to keep it generic enough so that other communities could use the same components for their own community sites. The infra is already at a usable state, and we can add new sites easily with just a few clicks.

Features in this consolidated infra are:
Document/Content management (Plone built-in)Calendar system (powered by solgema.fullcalendar addon)Conference/BarCamp system (powered by collective.conference addon, which was developed for FUDCon Kuala Lumpur 2012)Blog (powered by Products.Scrawl)Simple yet powerful theming engine (powered by plone.app.theming/ Diazo) - Check out Diazo, you'l…

HOWTO: Linux Container (LXC) on Fedora 12

-
Image
Those who are familiar with BSD Jails or Solaris Zones might be quite familiar to the concept of OS-level virtualization. The Linux world have several options for this, such as the User Mode Linux (UML), OpenVZ, Linux Vserver, and most recently, Linux Container (LXC).

Unlike the other alternatives, which requires specially patched kernels to run it, LXC got fully functional in the upstream kernel since 2.6.29, which is a plus as it made it easier to deploy it in many prexisting distros which ship 2.6.29, including Fedora - without messing around with the distro packages.

In this HOWTO, I'll guide through the process of deploying your own LXC in Fedora 12, with NAT to libvirt's virbr0

Preparation

yum install libvirt lxc

(ping me if i forgot to add any packages)

start libvirt so that virbr0 is configured
/sbin/service libvirtd start

mount control group in /cgroup
echo "none /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mkdir /cgroup
mount /cgroup

LXC Fedora Script

The lxc rp…
