Еще раз об ID3 тегах в mp3

Перекодировка тегов mp3 в UTF:

$ find -iname '*.mp3' -print0 | xargs -0 mid3iconv -eCP1251 --remove-v1

Взято с:

P/S: mid3iconv живёт в пакете python-mutagen.

PPTP в Ubuntu 8.04

В Ubuntu 8.04 перестал работать GUI для pptp-vpn, однако по прежнему можно его использовать через консоль. Я использую для этого следующие скрипты:

/home/user/vpn-on

#!/bin/bash
#vpn-on
#
sudo route add -host x.x.191.13 gw 10.10.32.1
sudo route del default
sudo pon vpn
sleep 10
sudo route add default dev ppp0
echo "VPN is UP !"
sleep 5


/home/user/vpn-off

#!/bin/bash
#vpn-off
#
ifconfig eth0 | grep "RX bytes"
sudo poff vpn
sleep 10
sudo route del -host x.x.191.13 gw 10.10.32.1
sudo route add default gw 10.10.32.1
echo "VPN is DOWN !"
sleep 2


/etc/ppp/peers/vpn

maxfail 0
lcp-echo-interval 60
lcp-echo-failure 4
pty "pptp x.x.191.13 --nolaunchpppd"
name testuser1

# Sample PPTP PPP options file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
# Options used by PPP when a connection is made by a PPTP client.
# This file can be referred to by an /etc/ppp/peers file for the tunnel.
# Changes are effective on the next connection. See "man pppd".
#
# You are expected to change this file to suit your system. As
# packaged, it requires PPP 2.4.2 or later from http://ppp.samba.org/
# and the kernel MPPE module available from the CVS repository also on
# http://ppp.samba.org/, which is packaged for DKMS as kernel_ppp_mppe.

# Authentication
# We don't need the tunnel server to authenticate itself

# We won't do EAP, CHAP, or MSCHAP, but we will accept MSCHAP-V2

# Encryption
# (There have been multiple versions of PPP with encryption support,
# choose with of the following sections you will use. Note that MPPE
# requires the use of MSCHAP-V2 during authentication)

# http://polbox.com/h/hs001/ fork from PPP project by Jan Dubiec
# ppp-2.4.2 or later with MPPE and MPPC, kernel module ppp_mppe_mppc.o

P.S. для того, чтобы pptp работал в Ubuntu 8.04 нужно поставить пакет pptp-linux.

sudo apt-get install pptp-linux
