Building the MySQL GUI tools on Debian

sudo apt-get install libgtkmm2.0-dev libglade2-0 \
libglade2-dev libgtkhtml3.0-4 libgtkhtml3.0-dev \
libxml2 libxml2-dev uuid-dev libuuid1

Then, grab the source trees (mysql-gui-common, mysql-administrator, mysql-query-browser). You should probably grab source tarballs rather than using the BK trees… I had to edit some files to get it to build – but that’s probably just today. Tomorrow it will be a different story.

you’ll want to add the path to mysql_config to your PATH

cd mysql-gui-common; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

cd ../mysql-adiministrator; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

cd ../mysql-query-browser; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

you should then be able to run them and connect to a mysql server

Epson C65 on Ubuntu Linux (and Debian)

Quite easy to get going under Warty (as well as Debian Sid).

Add a printer (System Configuration -> Printers, double click ‘Add Printer’). Select Local Printer, “USB Printer #1” as the port, then, select the model as Epson Stylus C64. Works fine.

I guess you can fiddle with quality settings and everything – but I haven’t yet.

This is the printer that was bought for mum – and it’s working fine for her.

now…. only to find a printer for me….

i print rarely, but when I do, i want it to work. Inkjets have not worked well for me in the past in this regard (spending 10 minutes running head cleaning and replacing cartridges because they’ve half dried up is not fun).

I’m thinking laser. Konica Minolta seems to have a 2430DL colour laser with network and GPL Linux drivers for $499USD (about $800AUD i think… finding prices today). You have to love it when they have a tux on their site :)

A duplexer would be nice too – i like having double sided print outs (yay – the greenie hippy in me is working hard).
