Build qt source in Fedora35

Extract qt-everywhere-src-6.2.2.zip to directory named qt,

sudo dnf install libxcb libxcb-devel xcb-util xcb-util-devel xcb-util-*-devel libX11-devel libXrender-devel libxkbcommon-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel libXi-devel libdrm-devel libXcursor-devel libXcomposite-devel

cd qt
mkdir bld
cd bld
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/installed -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ..
cmake --build . --parallel
cmake --install . --prefix=`pwd`/installed

Can't locate English.pm in @INC

sudo dnf install perl-English

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be init...

If "xcb" things missing, we should "dnf install libxcb..." like above, and an annoying step we can't image is after we install required packages, we must delete CMakeCache.txt first and then to invoke cmake, if not, some modules like xcb-sm are always displayed not to be built.

Feature accessibility_atspi_bridge is already defined to be "OFF" and should now be set to "ON" when importing features from Qt6::Gui.

We only need to not let the message interrupt building progress,

/mnt/SDC2/qt/bld/installed/lib/cmake/Qt6/QtFeature.cmake:1136

	message(STATUS "Feature ${feature} is already defined to be \"${QT_FEATURE_${feature}}\" and should now be set to \"${value}\" when importing features from ${target}.")

Debug ue4 in Fedora35

After running Setup.sh and GenerateProjectFiles.sh, we found UE4.pro created. It's like a fresh breeze coming from the roof window, we are free now, no more need to fear the once unbearable torment in Visual Studio IDE.

Qt source is not necessary to ue4, qtcreator is only a visual debugger to ue4.

Build Steps:

1
make UE4Editor-Linux-Debug ShaderCompileWorker-Linux-Debug -j8

Clean Steps:

1
make UE4Editor-Linux-Debug ShaderCompileWorker-Linux-Debug ARGS=-clean -j8

Install bare metal Linux dual booting with Windows

Installing Fedora is very straight forward, but

  • When clicking some avi suffix video file, I was prompted a GStreamer page, but no link to install missing plugins.

However I learnt

  • One disk must have its own EFI partition. For nowaday notebook usually has an SSD and an HDD, while SSD already has an EFI partition, when we have to install the second OS in HDD, the HDD must allocate an EFI partition too.
  • When we burn OS iso image into U-disk using UltraIso tool, we must select "RAW" mode, not others like "HDD+" mode.

'vboxdrv': Key was rejected by service

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install mokutil

mkdir /root/signed-modules
cd /root/signed-modules
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VirtualBox/"
chmod 600 MOK.priv

mokutil --import MOK.der

#After rebooting system

for modfile in $(dirname $(modinfo -n vboxdrv))/*.ko; do
  echo "Signing $modfile"
  /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 \
                                /root/signed-modules/MOK.priv \
                                /root/signed-modules/MOK.der "$modfile"

To play avi, rmvb files and so on,

dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install vlc

Not set default editor to nano in cscope,

cd /etc/profile.d
mv nano-default-editor.sh nano-default-editor.sh0

No sound?

vi /etc/pulse/default.pa
	load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix
	load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop
reboot

This method doesn't go very well, but I know the reason, I had replaced pipewire with pulseaudio while pipewire is the next generation.

Update grub,

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

how to turn off fans in linux

after running 'sensors-detect' command, kernel modules controlling fan speed should be loaded.

here is an occasion with 'Nuvoton NCT6102D/NCT6104D/NCT6106D Super IO Sensors' detected.

#/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4
pwm[1-7]
    - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
	   0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
 
pwm[1-7]_enable
    - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
	* 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
	* 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
	* 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
	* 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
	* 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
	* 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
...

ps1. if set pwm[1-7]_enable to 0, we will not be able to change it to other value, unless reboot linux.
ps2. I still can't find a common way to turn off fans using ipmitool.

linux关闭或开启网络端口

关闭80端口

1
iptables -A INPUT -ptcp --dport 80 -j DROP

而开启80端口要看情况,不能简单的一句

1
iptables -A INPUT -ptcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

因为其中的-A表示append一条规则到规则链上,之前存在一条DROP链,其后再加一条ACCEPT链,80端口还是会被禁掉。

先用如下命令看一下规则链

1
iptables -L

把DROP那一链删掉

1
2
iptables -D INPUT -ptcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -D INPUT -ptcp --dport 80 -j DROP

如果默认是所有端口都禁用,那就在空链里加一条ACCEPT链。

最后保存

1
iptables-save
