zte g x760 blueline debian ubuntu

ZTE G X760

The ZTE G X760 is also known as "Orange VEGAS". I use one branded "T-Mobile", byt unlocked. I use it to phone and as a backup modem. It's a GPRS (2G) phone. When plugged to a computer through the USB, the telephone promts if it will be connected as "Mass storage" or "COM Port". Depending on the usage, You've got to choose.

Blueline

Blueline is one of the best Internet Service provider in Madagascar. With their mobile telephone product, they have a Data service. I use it to access Internet, with my telephone (see above), on my Ubuntu and Debian laptop. The APN is "bluenet". No password required.

Connecting to Internet

After pluggin the phone and choosing "COM Port", the phone is then detected as a modem

         cdc_acm 3-2:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device         usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm         cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
Then, I had to setup several files:
/etc/chatscripts/bluenet 
       ABORT BUSY       ABORT 'NO CARRIER'       ABORT ERROR       REPORT CONNECT       TIMEOUT 10       "" "ATZ &F"       OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","bluenet"'       TIMEOUT 60       OK "ATD*99***1#"       CONNECT \d\c
/etc/ppp/peers/bluenet 
       hide-password       noauth       modem       connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/bluenet"       debug       /dev/ttyACM0       115200       defaultroute       noipdefault       user any       password any       remotename bluenet       ipparam bluenet       usepeerdns       novj       lcp-echo-interval 0
To connect to internet, just do: pon bluenet and tail your logs.

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo...

wget maven ntlm proxy

How to make wget, curl and Maven download behind an NTLM Proxy Working on CentOS, behind an NTLM proxy: yum can deal without problem with a NTLM Proxy wget, curl and Maven cannot The solution is to use " cntlm ". " cntlm " is a NTLM client for proxies requiring NTLM authentication. How it works Install "cntlm" Configure "cntlm"  by giving it your credentials by giving it the NTLM Proxy Start "cntlm" deamon (it listens to "127.0.0.1:3128") Configure wget, curl and Maven to use "cntlm" instead of using directly the NTLM Proxy Note: You will have then a kind of 2 stages Proxy : cntlm + the NTLM proxy Configure CNTLM After installing cntlm, the configuration file is in "cntlm.conf". You must have your domain (in the Windows meaning), proxy login and  proxy password. Mine are respectively: rktmb.org, mihamina, 1234abcd (yes, just for the example) You must have you NTLM Proxy Hostnama or IP ...
