On Fedora, I was having issues getting my T-Mobile G2X to connect in developer mode.
For sure, I was setting Settings-Applications-USBdebugging to Checked. And when plugging in the device, the SD card (and/or) internal memory space was showing up on the desktop (and the output in /var/log/messages looked equivalent to that from my working G1) [...]

/var/log/messages complains :
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: mythbackend.service: control process exited, code=exited status=235
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: Unit mythbackend.service entered failed state.
Simple solution (not tested whether this survives reboot) :
# touch /var/run/mythbackend.pid; chown mythtv:mythtv /var/run/mythbackend.pid
# systemctl start mythbackend.service
# grep mythbackend

MythTV suddenly stopped audio (yet again : Every upgrade the reason is different). This time, it appears that the order the audio cards are detected has changed, so the default output has changed…
The following is relevant to the process (haven’t tested this through a reboot, yet) :
$ pacmd help
$ pacmd info | grep -i [...]

To build uwsgi on Fedora 12 (which has no easy-to-find python3 rpm), run through the rpmbuild process (shown in a previous post in more detail for nginx) and make the following changes :
wget http://kad.fedorapeople.org/packages/uwsgi/uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm
rpm -ivh uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/uwsgi.spec
yum install python-devel libuuid-devel jansson-devel libyaml-devel ruby-devel python3-devel python-greenlet-devel lua-devel ruby
# NB: python3-devel doesn’t exist…

In order to get access to uwsgi (useful for deploying python flask projects, for instance), one needs a version of nginx > 0.8 or so. But Fedora 12 doesn’t have such a modern version : Here’s how to build it from a src.rpm from a more recent Fedora release.
# First, make sure [...]

Here’s a pretty minimal setup for building an extension for LibreOffice in Python.
Working backwards, I’ve called the extension ‘mdda_fns.oxt’. Here’s the makefile, which is in the root of the package development tree :
all: clean zip install
clean:
unopkg remove mdda_fns.oxt
rm mdda_fns.oxt
zip:

I’ve been maintaining a PVR350 on an old Dell 2.4GHz since forever.
Latest updates (to MythTV 24.1, and licrd 0.9.0.7) have made big changes. But it’s all working again, including a serial IR blaster. The following is just for my easy reference, and anyone else who now finds their Grey Hauppauge remote [...]

Paster contains the WSGI server originally incorporated within CherryPy (see http://pythonpaste.org/script/module-paste.script.wsgiserver.html). Funnily enough, this is a pretty hot contender amongst other Python WSGI webservers (see http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers) : Maybe not the best, but because of its ease of set-up (working out-of-the-box for Pyramid and Pylons) it is extremely compelling.
Combining it with NGINX makes for a [...]
