arandr quick fix invalid literal for int with base 10

Very dirty fix

If you ever get this, be aware that it's a known bug, and it's because of the "i" in:
 [mihamina@dell-f17 ~]$ xrandr -q 
 Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2390 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 
 LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm

    800x600        60.3     56.2   
    640x480        59.9

    1152x864       75.0     70.0   
    1280x768       74.9     59.9   
    1024x768       85.0*    75.1     70.1     60.0   
    1024x768i      43.5  <========== THERE!! 
    1024x576       60.0   
    848x480        60.0   
    640x480        85.0     72.8     75.0     60.0   
    720x400        85.0     70.1   
    640x400        85.1   
    640x350        85.1   
 HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Upstream have to fix it, but waiting for that, edit xrandr.py line 150

  for d in details: 
                 # o.modes.append(Size(int(a) for a in d.strip().split(" ")[0].split("x"))) 
                 o.modes.append(Size(a for a in d.strip().split(" ")[0].split("x")))

This will make your arandr work again. A package update will overwrtite this.

A better than worst fix


In my sample repository, you can find the last version of my (still dirty) fix: http://goo.gl/fBAoY

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 ...

VMWare Keyboard Latency
