Go to your buildout directory and run the following command:

Syntax:

bin/instance adduser

This will start Zope and Add a Manager user with the username and the password. You can now start your instance and log in with the user you just created. Note that if you try to create a user that already exists, it will fail silently, without giving any warning.

In case you are using the Unified Installer, you can use the following command,

Syntax:

bin/zopectl adduser

Before executing the command please make sure that you have your Zope started and working fine. Restart Zope after this and you should be able to login.

For older version of Zope, you need to create an emergency user which will help you in getting in the system, using the zpasswd.py script.

python [your zope]/bin/zpasswd.py access

While running the command it will ask for the username and the password along with the encryption that you need to do.

In case you are not able to locate the file, the easiest way would be to create the access file by using any editor with the following syntax,

username:password

Just restart Zope and you should be able to login again with the created username and password.

Please delete the file after you are down with the changing the password.

Moreover the same server had the slow mounting of NFS issue. Users would just wait for at least a minute after issuing the `ls` command and when login to GUI mode, it would just be in some state of hangover mode. I tried re-installing NFS kernel server along with updating the kernel, but still no help.

When doing a search somewhere it was mentioned that host needs to be identified. Since I was using IP’s, I thought it would not be a problem, but later on I found out that you need to make entries so that `idmapd` is able to locate it, some sort of a reverse DNS lookup. While restarting nfs-common you see two services being start, idmapd and statd. `idmapd` is the NFSv4 name mapping daemon. It provides functionality to the NFSv4 kernel client and server, to which it communicates via upcalls, by translating user and group IDs to names, and vice versa, while statd creates a file in /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm. When starting, it iterates through these files and notifies the peer rpc.statd on those machines. In case it does not find, it just takes it’s own time to mount it.

The same solved both the problems and user’s are also using it without any complaint.

The best part of the mall is the parking area which is free (as of now) with double decker parking for cars. Auto parking is also on their cards. When inquired about the double decker parking (which seems to be first in Bangalore) to one of the service person, he informed about it’s functionality. One slot is always free so that cars from top can be pulled down. A full bay has 5 slots in the bottom while 4 slots in the top wherein the top open 5th slot is used to navigate the other cars parked up, to be lowered down. It was amazing to see the technology that is being used.

But, at last I was able to locate a cool script by the name youtube-dl from one bitbucket.org. youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from youtube. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.x (x being at least 4), and is not platform specific. This works in Linux, Windows or in Mac OS X also. The latest version is 2010.01.19. It is freely available and one can go an modify it also.

You can download it from here.

So, you are left with nothing but using Windows and the Windows Media Player to play the video (easiest option). Else install Windows Media Player via wine for Linux (which did not work for me). The last option is to convert the video from that format to some other formats (.avi, .mpg) using mencoder.

MEncoder is a free command line video decoding, encoding and filtering tool released under the GNU General Public License. It is a close sibling to MPlayer and can convert all the formats that MPlayer understands into a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs.

How to enable it?

Create a folder named with the name, `GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}`, without the quotes. Double click on it and this is what you get as below,

The GIMP community also agrees to it, saying that the vision of GIMP is to be a high-end/expert application and Ubuntu removing it from the default installation shows the respect it deserves.

Well the other good part was of the things I learnt, while trying to recover the database. Normally, when you configure MySql in Ubuntu/Debian, you are not provided with the option of creating binary logs. Binary logging will record in a binary file all SQL transactions executed and attempted on the server. By using the `mysqlbinlog` utility, the contents of the binary log file can be extracted so that the SQL statements may easily be rerun. To enable binary logging, add the following line to your server’s options file `my.cnf`.

log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log

After making the entry above to your options file, you will need to restart the MySQL server for it to take effect.

Though I have personally not tested it out in a production server, I have tried using it on my laptop and what I notice from the log file is that it notes down each and every database transaction.

prasanta@ophiophagus:/tmp$ sudo mysqlbinlog /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.000002 > /tmp/mysql.sql

This will create a mysqlsql text file which you can edit it manually.

I hope that this will help some person like myself in the future.
