nomacs, a free, small, fast and multi-format image viewer

nomacs is a free image viewer for windows, linux, and mac systems, which is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3. nomacs is small, fast and able to handle the most common image formats including RAW images. Additionally it is possible to synchronize multiple viewers. A synchronization of viewers running on the same computer or via LAN is possible. It allows to compare images and spot the differences (e.g. schemes of architects to show the progress).

To install nomacs on Ubuntu, add repository of ppa:nomacs/stable:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nomacs/stable

Then, enter the commands:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nomacs

Linux command, lscpu, to get CPU architecture information

The Linux command lscpu  gathers  CPU  architecture  information  like  number  of  CPUs, threads, cores, sockets, NUMA nodes, information about CPU caches,  CPU family,  model,  bogoMIPS,  byte  order  and  stepping  from  sysfs and /proc/cpuinfo, and prints it in a human-readable format.   It  supports both online and offline CPUs.  It can also print out in a parsable for‐mat, including how different caches are shared by different CPUs, which can be fed to other programs.

Code::Blocks + wxWidgets + wxSmith, to open text file with wxFileDialog

This video show steps to create wxWidgets project in Code::Blocks, using wxSmith, to open text file with wxFileDialog.



The only programmatic code is in wxTextFileFrame::OnMenuOpenSelected() of the file wxTextFileMain.cpp.

void wxTextFileFrame::OnMenuOpenSelected(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxTextFile file;
    wxString text;

    int result;
    result = FileDialog1->ShowModal();
    if(result==wxID_OK){
        SetTitle(FileDialog1->GetPath());

        file.Open(FileDialog1->GetPath());
        for(size_t i=0; i<file.GetLineCount(); i++){
            text << file.GetLine(i) << _T("\r\n");
        }
        file.Close();
        TextCtrl1->SetValue(text);
    }

}

And also include wx/textfile.h.

#include <wx/textfile.h>

Hello World of Code::Blocks with wxSmith

"wxSmith plugin is not loaded, can not continue" in Code::Blocks

If you try to New a wxWidgets Project in Code::Blocls, with GUI Builder of wxSmith; may be you will be complained with error of "wxSmith plugin is not loaded, can not continue".

You have to install codeblocks-contrib, it is a contrib plugins for Code::Blocks IDE. To install it on Ubuntu, enter the command:

$ sudo apt-get install codeblocks-contrib

And then restart Code::Blocks.

Add Button to wxWidgets project

Create wxWidgets Project with Code::Blocks, as shown in last post.

To add a Buuton, modify HelloWxMain.h and HelloWxMain.h.cpp.

Create wxWidgets Project with Code::Blocks

With Code::Blocks installed, you can create wxWidgets Project by new a wxWidgets project (File > Project... > Category GUI > wxWidgets Project).

If you have error of:
fatal error: wx/app.h: No such file or directory

You need to install wx-common, and also libwxgtk2.8-dev or libwxgtk3.0-dev.

$ sudo apt-get install wx-common
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev

The videos show how to install and run, on Ubuntu Linux.

Display info kernel module of with modinfo command

To display info kernel module, enter the command:

$ modinfo hello.ko

where hello.ko is the kernel object file.

Develop Hello World of Linux Kernel Module

To create Linux Kernel Module, install the development tools:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc
$ sudo apt-get install kernel-package
$ sudo apt-get install make

Make and switch to a fold for your works. Create a c program, hello.c, and Makefile file. Please notice that both hello.c and Makefile have to be in the same folder.

hello.c

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>

static int __init hello_init(void)
{
 printk(KERN_INFO "Hello World! pid = %d\n", current->pid);

module_exit(hello_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Linux-Buddy: linux-buddy.blogspot.com");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Test Module: Hello World");
MODULE_VERSION("1.0");

Makefile

obj-m += hello.o

all:
 make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
 make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

Make the kernel module by enter the command:
$ make

Then insert the module with:
$ sudo insmod hello.ko

You can use the dmesg to view the kermel message printed by the code printk() in c program.
$ dmesg

List installed modules:
$ lsmod

To remove the module:
$ sudo rmmod hello.ko
