261. Disable tracker-miner-fs

Looking at my ~/.local/share/tracker folder I've got 1.5 Gb wasting away. Also, tracker has a way of eating up CPU cycles,. Given that I never do any desktop searches -- I use either 'locate' or 'find' in the terminal and they do exactly what I need -- I don't see much point in allowing tracker to run.

1. If you're in a gui you can run tracker-preferences  and disable the indexing of all folders.

2. To delete existing tracker logs you need to do
tracker-control -r

This kills all running tracker processes and removes the databases.

3. Finally, edit /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-miner-fs.desktop and tracker-store.desktop and change

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

to

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

260. Compiling Dalton 2.0 QM on Debian -- in progress

UPDATE: I've since successfully compiled Dalton 2011 and lsdalton on both debian and CentOS/ROCKS:
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/compiling-lsdalton-on-debian.html
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/compiling-dalton-2011-on-debian.html
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/compiling-dalton-2011-on-rocks-543centos.html

I will revisit this post at a later date.

NOTE:  This is an update of an old post in which the compilation of Dalton was described, but I couldn't get the finished binary to run. Seems the main problem was that I don't know how to use dalton properly. I've got enough data now to show that dalton is working in serial mode though.

1. Sign up for a license.

2. Once you get approved you'll get an email with a link, a username and a password.
Download the cam-enabled package.

3.
cd ~/tmp
mv ~/Download/dalton-2.0-ca.tar.gz .
tar xvf dalton-2.0-cam.tar.gz
cd dalton-2.0-cam/
sudo mkdir /opt/dalton
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/dalton
mkdir /opt/dalton/basis
mkdir /opt/dalton/bin

Also, you may want to compile the netlib blas and lapack, and set them up. See here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/compiling-netlibs-lapack-and-blas-on.html

Once you're done with that, start running configure:
./configure

Does your file system allow files bigger than 2 Gb? [y/n] y

DALTON uses almost 7 million *8 words (56 Megabytes) of static
allocations, in addition to the dynamic allocation.

DALTON has the possibility to reserve an amount of static memory
for storing two-electron integrals in direct and parallel calculations
Storing some or all of the 2-el. integrals in memory will speed up
direct and parallel calculations (and in particular the latter).
NOTE: This will increase the static memory allocation used by DALTON

Would you like to activate the possibility of storing 2-el.int. in memory? [y/n] y
How many millions of *8 words to use for storing 2-el.integrals? 1000

-->Program will be installed with 1000000000 words used for storing 2-el.integrals

Maximum amount of work memory for dynamic allocations can be
changed at run time with the environment variable WRKMEM
or by using the -M option to the run script: "dalton -M mb ...".
We recommend at least 20 million *8 words work memory,
larger for correlated calculations, but it should for maximum
efficiency NOT exceed available physical memory.

How many millions of *8 words to use as default for work memory? 1000

-->Program will be installed with a default work memory of 1000000000 words

-->Current directory is /home/me/tmp/dalton-2.0-cam

-->Default basis set directory will be /opt/dalton/basis/

-->Creating the DALTON run-script in /opt/dalton/bin

   The configuration of DALTON has finished succesfully.
   Check compiler flags etc. in Makefile.config and run "make" to get executable.


So far so good. Ignore the math libs above.

Copy the basis sets:
cp basis/* /opt/dalton/basis/

Throw
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dalton/bin
in your ~/.bashrc and source it (source ~/.bashrc)

You're now ready to see how well it went.

Make sure you set

It may not be necessary for the mpiXXX compilers, but e.g. gfortran would not know where to look for the mpi headers.

259. Compiling firefox 16.0.1 in debian testing/wheezy

I actually mainly use chromium/chrome for my normal browsing needs, and have set up an ssh tunnel with an American university for iceweasel so I can access sites that filter on IP.

There's nothing particularly wrong with iceweasel, but it's nice to check out the latest and shiniest versions of different projects every now and again, so here's how to compile the latest firefox:

The source is just a hair under 90 Mb and the build takes around 40 minutes on a three-core AMD.

I've got so many -dev packages installed on my system that I don't really know what the dependencies are anymore, but here's a guess:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gfortran gawk libpango1.0-dev libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev libcogl-pango-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev libgconfmm-2.6-dev libnotify-dev libgnomeui-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev 

Anyway:
cd ~/tmp
wget ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/16.0.1/source/firefox-16.0.1.source.tar.bz2
tar xvf firefox-16.0.1.source.tar.bz2
mkdir firefox_build
cd firefox_build/
../mozilla-release/./configure --prefix=$HOME/.firefox --disable-necko-wifi
make
make install

I'm getting tired of the clutter in my PATH, so
echo "alias firefox16='$HOME/.firefox/bin/firefox'" >> ~/.bashrc



Note that iceweasel puts a firefox in/usr/bin/, hence the use of firefox16
