#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

rsync from android

1) /root/rsyncpassword should contain rsync password, with each of owner, group and other all denied read/write (chown o-r, o-w, g-w, etc)

2) rsync.conf should set secrets-file for the 'access module' (e.g. ::data in the rsync command below) which contains:

user:password

3) Use tasker to run:

rsync --recursive --update --delete --password-file=/root/rsyncpassword vin@192.168.1.2::data/video/Queue/Podcasts/ /sdcard/media/audio/podcasts/

Open deluge console

deluged runs as user deluge, so to run deluge console with the correct config:

deluge-console -c /srv/deluge/.config/deluge

Do not require password in cpufreqselector

From http://linux.aldeby.org/do-not-require-the-password-for-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-karmic-9-10.html

In Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 the frequency scaling GNOME applet always requires a password in order to allow you to change CPU frequency or governor. This is due to policykit profiles enforcing some more strict security.

Helas these profiles are not editable trough the applet in System -> Administration -> Authorisation.

Fortunately, as always in linux this can be achieved by simply editing a text file:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy

locate the following lines

要調整 CPU 頻率需要權限。  no auth_admin_keep   

and replace the highlighted text

要調整 CPU 頻率需要權限。  no yes   

This change is unfortunately to be applied every time policykit gets updated.

The launchpad bug is #455694
