I am using ridgerun sdk..I made some settings in the config file through the command "make menuconfig"(but now i dont remember what settings i made). Now I want to cancel those settings in the config file and want the default settings. But the command "make mrproper" is not supported by Ridgerun sdk.Please suggest some solution for this.
The previous config file is renamed as .config.old Just copy it over the newer one
cp .config.old .config
Assuming RidgeRun SDK uses some derivative of the Linux kernel's kbuild then deleting (make sure to back it up first, of course!) the .config file in the build system's root folder will do the trick.

I am following the instructions on how to add plugins to Eclipse for SBT here:
https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse
Add sbteclipse to your plugin definition file (or create one if
doesn't exist). You can use either: the global file (for version 0.13
and up) at ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt the project-specific file
at PROJECT_DIR/project/plugins.sbt
However, the directory does not exist in Ubuntu linux. All I see is ~/.sbt and inside of that a directory called /boot. What should I do? Is the /0.13 directory somewhere else on my computer?
Yes, just create folder next to boot under ~/.sbt/ with the full path, as it is asked in the documentation, just do
touch ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt
to create a global file with plugins.
I have configuring the linux kernel 3.4. I have the defconfig file supplied by the chip vendor. I have applied the defconfig and then changed some more configuration using the menuconfig. Now i have the updated .config file.
I need to save this .config file into ./arch/arm/configs/ so that in future no need to redo the configurations I already did.
Thanks and Regards,
Giri
You can copy the .config manually to ./arch/arm/configs/(and probably add it to your version control also)
cp .config ./arch/arm/configs/CUSTOM_defconfig
And when you need to load this configuration just use:
make CUSTOM_defconfig
You can use buildroot utility to save your defconfig file using :
$> make savedefconfig
Then, you can find a file named "defconfig" in the same location of your .config file.
I have recently git cloned the kernel of Linus Torvalds. I want to build and install this kernel in my laptop. But because I want to use "kernel-of-the-day" I want to enable CONFIGURE_LOCALVERSION_AUTO option. But how should I enable this option I don't know that. Where to find this option?
Use menuconfig or xconfig, to configure Linux kernel these interfaces are used. Modifying .config file directly is discouraged. Inside your kernel source tree do make menuconfig or make xconfig - use anyone you like. On kernel configuration menu you'll find General Setup Option, inside this option you'll find Automatically append version information to the version string, toggle it to enable/disable.
After you have cloned the Linus repository repository. You would need to either create a fresh .config file in the ./linux folder or copy the existing config file from your /boot and later modify it. Then edit the .config file and set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y
`cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config`
I am using Subversion to manage my python code. But I have no idea how to put the file properties of my configuration file.
For example I have the configuration file checked in on my development platform. I want to make sure that
After the configuration file is being checked out. The SVN up process should ignore the modified configuration file.
On the server side I have the golden configuration file. Therefore the SVN commit should ignore the configuration file as well.
I have no idea how to set the properties of the configuration file so I am seeking help here.
Thanks in advance
This comes up enough that it's in the Subversion FAQ
Short version: Create (and version) a "template" configuration file. Users check out a WC, make a filesystem local (not svn) copy which is to be ignored by Subversion, and then modify that copy.
You might want to look at my pre-commit hook.
But first, uou need to remove that configuration file from your Subversion repository. Instead, add a configuration template that developers can copy and use.
Once you remove the configuration file from your repository, you want to set svn:ignore to ignore it. This way, it doesn't accidentally get added if a user does a svn add * or sees it when they do a svn status.
However, if you want to be absolutely certain that this configuration file is never added to the project, you need a pre-commit hook that will refuse a commit if a user does add it.
Why don't you tell SVN to ignore the file?
$ cd path/to/config/file
$ svn delete --keep-local config.file
$ svn propset svn:ignore config.file
$ svn commit
What this does is first tell SVN that it should stop tracking the file (svn delete), then we set the svn:ignorepoperty on the directory in which the file resides, and then we commit these changes.
If you still want the configuration file to be tracked by SVN, then you can either commit your changes excluding the modifications on the file, or external the file in and be sure to ignore externals when committing.
I've just been setting up a Ubuntu workstation and wanted to add some settings to eclipse.ini. When I searched for the file I found:
/etc/eclipse.ini
/usr/lib/eclipse.ini
My questions are:
Does Eclipse actually use both files?
If so, in what order does it read them?
How does it merge them?
Both of the files I found are system wide, is there a location in my home directory I could put one that would effect only my instances?
Here's how to determine which eclipse.ini file you should use (joomla.org):
If you downloaded Eclipse IDE manually from internet the "eclipse.ini" file is just inside the unpacked folder
If you installed Eclipse via terminal or software center the location of the file is "/etc/eclipse.ini"
In some Linux versions the file can be found at "/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini". Do not use this file if you found a config file at "/etc/eclipse.ini".
To be sure where your Eclipse folder is, check $ECLIPSE_HOME, and if not specified (these directions at least work for Juno):
Open Eclipse as you normally do.
Click Help -> About Eclipse SDK
Click Installation Details
Go to the Configuration tab
Find "eclipse.home.location=file:PATH". PATH is where eclipse is installed.
sources:
http://docs.joomla.org/Configuring_Eclipse_IDE_for_PHP_development/Linux:
There is only one file.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 8 2012 /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini -> /etc/eclipse.ini
You probably have already found this out, chances are when you installed Eclipse the installation created (or you did manually) a file /usr/bin/eclipse which if you check it probably looks like the following:
#!/bin/sh
export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
especially if you followed instructions similar to the ones like these on If-not-true-then-false
On the other hand if you have installed from a package, I suspect you will find that eclipse ends up in /usr/bin, most likely a symbolic link to /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse (or at least I found it on my Fedora system after using yum to install eclipse).
I have Ubuntu 18 and eclipse installation is squashed in a file
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/eclipse_40.snap
which is mount on /snap/eclipse/40 as read only. Just run
mount | grep eclipse*.snap
This eclipse.ini file is really read only, that means, you cannot modify it, even with sudo. However, I also have a eclipse.ini.ignored file in HOME/.eclipse/some number/configuration. This is being by default ignored, but you can change the "launcher.ini" in the eclipse launcher command.
According to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini. If $ECLIPSE_HOME is not defined, the
default eclipse.ini in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the
case of Mac, the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS directory) is used.
The certain way to make sure is to run strace on eclipse. In the output you'll see where is eclipse actually trying to pull the file from.
