Mount WebDAV folder on Ubuntu

1. At first install davfs2-1.4.7:

   sudo apt-get install libneon27-dev
   cd ~/Downloads/
   wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/davfs2/davfs2-1.4.7.tar.gz
   tar xzf davfs2-1.4.7.tar.gz 
   cd davfs2-1.4.7/
   ./configure
   

2. Once davfs2 is installed, confirm that the coda kernel module is loaded on your system with
   lsmod | grep coda
   1. If the module is not loaded, load it with
      modprobe coda
      and do one of the following to make it persistent: add a line to /etc/modules reading "coda"
   2. If the module is not loaded AND the above modprobe fails, recompile your kernel with built-in coda support or a coda module.
   3. If the module is already loaded, proceed to the next step.
3. Try to mount manualy

   sudo mount -t davfs "http://sps.domain.com/folder/Sub Folder" /home/taras/davfs/sps
   Please enter the username to authenticate with server
   http://sps.domain.com/folder/Sub Folder or hit enter for none.
     Username: domain\username
   Please enter the password to authenticate user domain\username with server
   http://sps.domain.com/folder/Sub Folder or hit enter for none.
     Password: 
   

4. Make folder mounted automaticaly:
   Add mount point to /etc/fstab (replace spaces by \040):
   http://sps.domain.com/folder/Sub\040Folder /home/taras/davfs/sps davfs noauto,uid=taras,file_mode=640,dir_mode=755,user 0 0
   Save your credentials to /usr/local/etc/davfs2/secrets (If an item contains one of the characters space, tab, #, \ or ", this # character must be escaped by a preceding \):
   /home/taras/davfs/sps domain\\user password

Ubuntu Touch on phone

Установил Ubuntu Touch (Developer Preview) на свой Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Интерес победил) Инструкция здесь: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install?action=show&redirect=TouchInstallProcess Под Ubuntu 13.04 у меня все получилось быстро и без проблем. Пока система слабо юзабельна. Звонить и смски писать можно, ходить в интернет по Wi-Fi тоже. На этом, пожалуй, все) Остальное еще не доделано. Интерфейс красивый и удобный, но пока не очень шустрый. Попутно набросал скрипт для переноса контактов из Google (да, пока синхронизации тоже нет). Скрипт пока сырой (да и вряд ли есть смысл его допиливать), но телефоны и имейлы синхронизирует.

How to use:
1) Export Google Contacts to vCard format
2) run ./Google2Ubuntu_ContactsConverter.sh ~/Downloads/contacts.vcf
3) scp ./data.csv  phablet@192.168.1.168:~/data.csv
4) connect to phone via SSH and do:
phablet@localhost:~$ sudo mv data.csv /usr/share/demo-assets/contacts-data
phablet@localhost:~$ manage-address-books.py create

#!/bin/bash
googleContactsFile=$1

if [ "$googleContactsFile" == "" ];
then

Flashing Acer Liquid E from Ubuntu Linux

Решил прошить свой Acer Liquid E. Как минимум, на это меня сподвигло отсутствие в заводской прошивке netfilter в ядре (а как следствие, невозможность раздавать интернет с телефона по Wi-Fi).
Как ни странно, для прошивки Android-устройства от Acer используется Windows (по крайней мере беглый поиск Google мне ничего другого не сообщил). Эта ситуация меня в корне не устраивает (у меня есть винда, но я стараюсь минимизировать ее использование).
Итак, эта статья будет писаться по мере поиска информации. Если найдутся желающие мне помочь - буду очень рад.

Первое более-менее полезное нашлось для Galaxy S, может быть пригодится: http://sajjadzaidi.com/2011/04/flashing-android-on-galaxy-s-using-linux/

1.  Сначала нужно забекапить все данные с телефона. Хотя у меня настроена синхронизация почти для всего и вся, я думаю, не стоит  этим пренебрегать.
