WiFi Tethering in Windows

xuyichao Uncategory

1. Run command prompt with administrator privileges.
2. Execute the below command to verify that your network interface support virtualization:

netsh wlan show drivers

If the “Hosted network supported” says “Yes“, then you’re ready to share the internet via Wi-Fi. Otherwise, you need to upgrade your hardware, if the software update doesn’t fix it.

3. Set up the ssid and key.

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=abc key=12345678

ssid is nothing but your desired Wi-Fi name, you can give your own.

Key is nothing but your Wi-Fi password. It should be Minimum 8 characters long

4. Until now, your hosted network has been created. Now, you need to start it.
Use the command below to start your Wi-Fi Network:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

5. Share  the Internet Connection with the created WiFi.

Install CUDA on AWS GPU Instance

xuyichao Uncategory

1. Install build-essential
$ apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential

2. Install linux-image-extra-virtual
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
This step is important for virtual system.
If this package is not installed, the error “Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’. ” will appear.

3. Download CUDA and install the package.
This step is same as installing on a normal PC.

4. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and test sample code.

(Updated for 18.04)To show the same display session in Ubuntu by Chrome Remote Desktop

xuyichao Linux

The default configuration of Chrome Remote Desktop in Ubuntu opens a new session instead the same desktop currently running.

To fix this, please follow these steps:

Stop it:
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop –stop

Back it up:
cp /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop.orig

Edit: /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop

Change this to the size I wanted.
DEFAULT_SIZES = “1920×1080”

Set the X display number to the current display number (obtain it with echo $DISPLAY from any terminal).

FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER = 0

Comment out sections that look for additional displays:

#while os.path.exists(X_LOCK_FILE_TEMPLATE % display):
# display += 1
Reuse the existing X session instead of launching a new one. Alter launch_session() by commenting out launch_x_server() and launch_x_session() and instead setting the display environment variable, so that the function definition ultimately looks like the following:

def launch_session(self, x_args):
self._init_child_env()
self._setup_pulseaudio()
self._setup_gnubby()
#self._launch_x_server(x_args)
#self._launch_x_session()
display = self.get_unused_display_number()
self.child_env[“DISPLAY”] = “:%d” % display #Pls change the quotes to plain quotes

Start it:
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop –start

DONE. Now it attaches to Unity’s existing X Server on display :0.

Run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit Ubuntu

xuyichao Uncategory

If the output of file file-name shows,

file-name: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.x.x, not stripped

To run 32bit executable file in a 64 bit multi-arch Ubuntu system, we have to add i386 architecture and also we have to install 

libc6:i386,

libncurses5:i386,

libstdc++6:i386

these three library packages.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo ./file-name

Comment=Start MATLAB - The Language of Technical Computing
#Uncomment the following line and comment the line after to
#force matlab to use the 32 bits architecture
#Exec=matlab -arch=glnx86 -desktop
#please replace the following line with the path where matlab installed

Compile Bundler in Ubuntu 12.04

xuyichao C++, Linux

1. Download the bundler-v0.4-source and install all  the required dependencies.

2. After make, we can see such error,

BundlerApp.h:620:32: error: cannot call constructor ‘SkeletalApp::BundlerApp’

3. The solution is to change “BundlerApp::BundlerApp();” to “BundlerApp();” in line 620 of the file of BundlerApp.h

Then we can make it successfully.
