CMUSphinx - Head Start

2011-10-13T03:50:00.000-07:00

This article is just a head start to get CMPSphinx(voice recognition) working on ubuntu(should work on most of the stable linux flavours).

The download link in the CMUSphinx might sometimes lead you to sphinx2, click here to get the latest version. Download both the bin and src zip files.

Install jar

>apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

Then use

/Applications# jar xvf sphinx4-1.0beta6-bin.zip

--comment: it will inflate the folder

/Applications# jar xvf sphinx4-1.0beta6-src.zip

--comment: it will inflate the folder

/Applications# cd sphinx4-1.0beta6

Get a latest version of ant and untar it.

Set up the environment variables
/Applications# export ANT_HOME=/home/itsme/Downloads/Applications/apache-ant-1.8.2/

--note: I have my ant in this dir, your location may change based where you downloaded and untarred.

/Applications# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/

--note: I have my java in this dir, your location may change based where you downloaded and untarred.

/Applications# export PATH=/home/itsme/Downloads/Applications/apache-ant-1.8.2/bin/:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/:$PATH

now its time to execute ant... you can see some stuffs setting up

/Applications/sphinx4-1.0beta6# ant

--note: if you see that build.xml file is missing, do not panic, make sure you are in the right directory(here its sphinx4-1.0beta6) do an -ls you should notice a bulid.xml file, if not make sure that you downloaded the right file. Any other errors like unable to find the ant or jar make sure that the path you set on the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE is right

once this is done try execute

Applications/sphinx4-1.0beta6# java -mx312m -jar bin/HelloWorld.jar

You should see something like

Say: (Good morning | Hello) ( Bhiksha | Evandro | Paul | Philip | Rita | Will )
Start speaking. Press Ctrl-C to quit.

enjoy............

Fix backspace/delete when ssh'ing into Linux machines:

Go to Terminal preferences, select the Advanced tab and tick 'Delete sends Ctrl-H'. And that's it! Backspace should work as usual in ssh/screen.

Useful Windows command line tool, handle.exe

Handle v3.46

Introduction

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object types and names of all the handles of a program.

You can also get a GUI-based version of this program, Process Explorer, here at Sysinternals.
Installation

You run Handle by typing "handle". You must have administrative privilege to run Handle.
Usage

Handle is targetted at searching for open file references, so if you do not specify any command-line parameters it will list the values of all the handles in the system that refer to open files and the names of the files. It also takes several parameters that modify this behavior.

usage: handle [[-a] [-u] | [-c [-l] [-y]] | [-s]] [-p |> [name]
-a Dump information about all types of handles, not just those that refer to files. Other types include ports, Registry keys, synchronization primitives, threads, and processes.
-c Closes the specified handle (interpreted as a hexadecimal number). You must specify the process by its PID.
WARNING: Closing handles can cause application or system instability.
-l Dump the sizes of pagefile-backed sections.
-y Don't prompt for close handle confirmation.
-s Print count of each type of handle open.
-u Show the owning user name when searching for handles.
-p Instead of examining all the handles in the system, this parameter narrows Handle's scan to those processes that begin with the name process. Thus:

handle -p exp

would dump the open files for all processes that start with "exp", which would include Explorer.
name

This parameter is present so that you can direct Handle to search for references to an object with a particular name.
For example, if you wanted to know which process (if any) has "c:\windows\system32" open you could type:

handle windows\system

The name match is case-insensitive and the fragment specified can be anywhere in the paths you are interested in.
Handle Output

When not in search mode (enabled by specifying a name fragment as a parameter), Handle divides its output into sections for each process it is printing handle information for. Dashed lines are used as a separator, immediately below which you will see the process name and its process id (PID). Beneath the process name are listed handle values (in hexadecimal), the type of object the handle is associated with, and the name of the object if it has one.

When in search mode, Handle prints the process names and id's are listed on the left side and the names of the objects that had a match are on the right.

More Information

You can find more information on the Object Manager in Windows Internals, 4th Edition or by browsing the Object Manager name-space with WinObj.

Microsoft Handle KB Articles

The following Microsoft KB articles reference Handle for diagnosing or troubleshooting various problems:

Firefox -- Disable process plugincontainer

2011-07-21T15:45:00.000-07:00

Most of the times I notice that the process plugincontainer eats up my CPU, found that this process is initiated by firefox :( to as a crash protection. I want to disable it...

>>> about:config on firefox location bar

>>> search for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* and set the preference to false(right click you will get the option to toggle the value).

That is it you are done.

Fixing firefox location bar search issues

2011-05-22T13:21:00.000-07:00

Most of the time malware's(recently questscan) change firefox location bar search value, by default when you enter any contents which doesn't match a web link will be used as a search keyword by google search engine. Example: You type 'blah blah' on your location bar it will take you to google.com with the results for search keyword 'blah blah'.

The problem happens when your computer is affected by some malware or installation of some tool-bar's(ex: ask.com this will take you to ask search instead of google.com, though you remove the plug-in or the toolbar still you will be directed to ask.com.) Removing the tool-bar or fixing the malware will not always fix the problem.

You have to do little more work to resolve it.

Steps to restore the default search on location bar:

1. Open firefox and type about:config (Do it with extreme caution).

2. On the search tab, type keyword.URL

3. Change the status to default, type to string and the value to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

4. Restart firefox.

That is it, you are done.

Tips: If you need to remove any unwanted entries in the firefox config, you can change the value to default and restart firefox, the entry will be removed.

Text to Speech Synthesis

2011-03-10T18:23:00.000-08:00

As the part of research in signal handling, I discovered Text to Speech Synthesizer, though completely not relevant to what I want, I found this really interesting(geeks might feel as a pretty old story).

Converting the text to speech is what I did with the festival speech synthesis system

I Did the testing on my ubuntu box, started from a simple apt-get install festival as a super user, it went all good, but couldn't convert my text file to voice.

I executed

$festival --tts welcome.txt

Error: No default voice found in ("/usr/share/festival/voices")
either no voice unpacked or voice-apth is wrong
Scheme interpreter will work but there is no voice to speak with.

====

a little bit of google helped me with an answer that I have to install festvox-don which is a voice pack(apt-get install festvox-don).

It worked this time with a simple,

$festival --tts welcome.txt (I can hear the voice).

this made me to look programming it and use it in a more customized way. Here it goes cpan has countable no of modules to program this in perl.

Will add more codes here shortly. And my research on signal handling is still pending :(

Signal Handling in Perl - Linux

2010-08-25T12:36:00.000-07:00

Handling operating system signals will really help in building a efficient code.

How ctrl+c is handled by Operating Systems?

ctrl+c doesnt affect the process directly, the terminal driver recoginizes the key strokes and sends SIGINT to every process in the foreground.

type stty -a on the terminal to see the current settings,

mine looks like

stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 70; columns 203; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; swtch = ; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
-parenb -parodd cs8 -hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts
-ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel -iutf8
opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0
isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke

A sample code to handle ctrl+c

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

while(1){
print "Hello David\n";
sleep 2;
$SIG{INT} = \&warn_him;
}

sub warn_him{
$SIG{INT} = \&warn_him;
print "Do you really want to terminate (y/n)?:";
my $ans = ;
chomp $ans;
if($ans eq 'y'){
exit 0;
}else{
return 1;
}
}

Simple huh?

Password Protected Files Under Linux

2010-06-08T20:30:00.000-07:00

I couldnt find a better way than this to password protect a dir, here is wat I did

I used gunpg, the complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP. GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data. A simple three step process I did to protect my files is below, for more information you can check out http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html

1. Archive(tar) the directory that you want to pass protect.

example: > tar -cf my_test_dir.tar /my_test_dir

2. Use gpg to set up the password

example: > gpg -c my_test_dir.tar

this command will ask you to enter the password for the file once done, this will create a file my_test_dir.gpg

3. To open the file use gpg my_test_dir.gpg, in gnome a pop up will appear for the password.

Windows Mediaplayer for Firefox on Linux

2010-05-29T18:33:00.000-07:00

Getting WMPlayer for firefox under Linux? That's really simple, all we have to do is to install two gnome components.

1. gnome-mplayer
2. gecko-mediaplayer

Mplayer is a popular Linux media player that can play back Windows Media files. In order to use Mplayer to play Windows Media stream in Firefox, you must install two packages named gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer. Your Linux distribution may have these packages readily available to install.

You can test this with http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/wmp11.html

It works!!! Have Fun :)

Copying Files with SCP

2010-05-22T13:14:00.001-07:00

SCP: Unix/Linux Secured Copy Program

SCP, a tool for copying(transferring) files over a local and remote computer securely.

Copying File to Host

scp SourceFile user@host:directory/TargetFile

Copying File from Host

scp user@host:directory/SourceFile TargetFile

these are the basic way that scp are used mostly

Moreover, SCP can be used with various commandline options(a man page should guide you).

Example:

If you have a VM(Virtual Machine like Xen) running on remote host which has only one port opened (eg: 5052) to the external world(for ssh: ssh user@my_remote_vm -p 5052). We can use the same SSH port to copy files with SCP.

Here it is,

scp -P 5052 user@my_remote_vm:/my_files/file_name.pl .

this should make a connection on port 5052(u can specify your own), to copy files.

Error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent"

2010-04-21T23:44:00.000-07:00

While Loading SSH Keys, you might come across a similar error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent"

I fixed this by setting up ssh-agent /bin/bash

Example:

davidsnt@mydomain:~/keys$ ssh-add *-keys
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
davidsnt@mydomain:~/keys$ ssh-agent /bin/bash
davidsnt@mydomain:~/keys$ ssh-add *-keys
Enter passphrase for davidsnt:

Playing with Linux Commands - Part 2

2010-03-04T12:20:00.000-08:00

1. Reading Lines and Appending numbers to it

cat -n ip_list | head -n5

Displays the first five lines with line number

similarly

cat -n ip_list | tail -n5

lists the last five lines from the file with the line numbers.

2. Reading specific lines(like from line 20 to 35)

sed -n 20, 35p ip_list

*here ip_list is the name of the file where the stored my IP's

3. Reading from last

tac -n ip_list

4. Running a for loop on command line

for i in $IP; do scp filename$i root@myhomepc.in; done

5. While loop on command line

i=0; while [[ $i -lt 8 ]]; do scp filename$i root@myhomepc.in; (( i++ )); done

6. cut - example

for arg in `ls *.pl.bak|cut -d '.' -f 1,2`; do echo $arg; done

if you have a list of file names with .pl.bak then this command will remove the .bak and print filename.pl

7. Create multiple directories at once.

mkdir -p /home/myhomepc/logs{1,2,3,4}

this will create dirs like logs1, logs2, logs3, logs4

if you want to delete all these dirs at once, use

rm -r /home/myhomepc/logs{1,2,3,4}

Type Globbing in Perl

2009-12-19T12:31:00.000-08:00

Type Glob

- If you prefix the name of a Perl variable with an '*', you can
refer to ALL the Perl objects (scalars, arrays, filehandles,
subroutines) which have that name

- Called a type glob (since the * represents a $ or @ or %)

- When a type glob is assigned to another type glob, object
aliasing is set up.

- It is recommended that type globs be used as lvalues only inside
local(). Otherwise, you may clobber an existing variable!

- Ex:

@x = (5, 6, 7);
&sub1 (*x);

sub sub1
{
local (*array) = @_;

# Now any references to @array in the subroutine
# are really references to the global array @x.
# Be careful! All objects with name x have been
# aliased. References to $array inside the subroutine
# will reference a global $x; same with %array
# and %x.
# But now any array operation (for example, push/pop)
# can be done on @array and the changes made to the
# global @x.

}

History Search Auto Completion in Linux Machines

2009-12-09T03:13:00.000-08:00

Using page up and page down key to search the bash history.

Except on OpenSuSE I couldn't see page up and page down keys functioning to get the commands from the history.

For Example: If you type less and hit page up, it will display the similar commands from the bash history on openSuSE.

To set up this on other linux boxes

edit /etc/inputrc file and add(uncomment) the following lines

# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward

To get this working on CYGWIN:

echo $HOME

export INPUTRC=$HOME/.inputrc

Edit the .inputrc file and add the lines

# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward

Should work after you close and reopen the cygwin window :)

If there is no .inputrc file you can download one from

Playing with Linux Commands - Part 1

2009-12-05T01:19:00.000-08:00

1. Command to find the size of each directory under / partition

du -hx --max-depth 1 /.

2. Find directory of a particular pattern and getting the size of it

find /var/logs -name 'messa*' -type d -print 2>/dev/null | xargs du -sh | sort -n

3. Find files based on mtime

find /var/log/messages -type f -mtime +1 -print

This will display all the files that are older than a day.

If you need to remove those files which are older than a day the use

find /var/log/messages -type f -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

*0 - numeric zero

Save an Online Video with your Browser (no extensions needed)

2009-11-22T22:32:00.000-08:00

Sometimes when you're watching online videos on youtube or other sites, you want to save some of them for later offline playback. You've probably heard of Firefox extensions like DownloadHeloper that can do this, but sometimes you may only have a bare version of Firefox, or perhaps a different browser, one that doesn't have a plugin for doing this. Using the tip below, you can save videos no matter what browser you're using.

First, find the browser process id:

$ ps xfa | grep firefox  # or grep any other browsers' name

Say, we get 12279. Note that you may get more than one result from the above command: you need the process id of the binary executable. The firefox command, for instance, is normally a script which starts the real binary.

Then, list its opened files, by:

$ ls -lU /proc/12279/fd

This will show you the files opened by the process, there may be a lot of them. The file name is the file descriptor number, it is a symbolic link that points to the real file that is opened on that file descriptor. The output will look something like:

#                       NAME   REAL FILE
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 59 -> socket:[3372642]
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 62 -> /home/gektop/.mozilla/firefox/u824gy5z.default/signons.sqlite
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 70 -> /tmp/moz_media_cache (deleted)
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 73 -> /home/gektop/.mozilla/firefox/u824gy5z.default/places.sqlite-journal
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 74 -> /tmp/FlashZzxRDM
lrwx------ 1 grp usr ... 75 -> /var/tmp/etilqs_5I5bzLh21aIoh4a (deleted)

Now look for names matching the pattern "/tmp/Flash??????". In the above example, we see /tmp/FlashZzxRDM. This is really a .flv file, you can open it with mplayer or any other video player and see that it is a video. If you see more than one file you may need to try playing them to see which one you're looking for.

The last step is to simply copy the file to your home directory, renaming it in the process (e.g. "jackson.flv"). Wait till after the browser has played the entire video, otherwise you may get an incomplete file.

Using Screen

2009-08-04T20:39:00.000-07:00

Using Screen: A Quick Reference

On your console type screen and hit enter(twice).

1. ctrl + a + c - create a new session in screen.
2. ctrl + a + p - previous screen.
3. ctrl + a + n - next screen.
4. ctrl + a + d - detach the screen.
5. ctrl + a + k - kill window.
6. ctrl + a + l - refresh the current window.
7. ctrl + a + w - list all windows.
8. ctrl + a + \ - kill all windows and terminate.
9. ctrl + a + { - enter copy mode. will help to scroll through the history of previous operations.
10. ctrl + a + A - name a screen session.
11. ctrl + a + " - list all the screen session and select.
12. ctrl + a + ' - provides an option to give the session id to jump.
To re attach to a detached screen, type
screen -ls
which will display the list of screen detached, select the screen you want to attach and type

screen -r

if you get an error saying that the screen is already attached, then detach and reattach.

screen -d (-r)

Here, I initially thought that ctrl + s is a screen bug, but that isn't. What happens is when you press ctrl + s it calls the software flow control method XOFF which stops the character flow to the terminal, which when you feel that the terminal frozen.

To get rid of this you can type ctrl + q which calls XON and starts the terminal again.

If u have a similar error trigger just reload the cpan index

command:

cpan> reload index

and also rebuild the Cpan

cpan> install Bundle::CPAN

cpan> reload cpan.

For any FTP related issued use the command.

#export FTP_PASSIVE=1
