PlayOgg!

Increasingly, proprietary software companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe are pushing video and audio formats that restrict access and restrict software developers.

Thankfully, there is an alternative that can be played on all computers without restriction — Ogg. With Ogg, professional grade multimedia formats such as Vorbis, Theora, Speex and FLAC come to life!

Vorbis and Theora are used extensively by free software projects, artists and a growing number of music and video distributors.

  1. ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
  2. see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
  3. for examples

cmatrix -s

  1. If not running interactively, don’t do anything
    -z "$PS1" && return
  1. don’t put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
  2. don’t overwrite GNU Midnight Commander’s setting of `ignorespace’.
    HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+:}ignoredups
  3. … or force ignoredups and ignorespace
    HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
  1. append to the history file, don’t overwrite it
    shopt -s histappend
  1. for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1)
  1. check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
  2. update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
    shopt -s checkwinsize
  1. make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)
    #usr && eval “$(SHELL=/bin/sh lesspipe)”
  1. set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
    if -z "$debian_chroot" && etc; then
    debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
    fi
  1. set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we “want” color)
    case “$TERM” in
    xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
    esac
  1. uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
  2. off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
  3. should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
    force_color_prompt=yes

if -n "$force_color_prompt" ; then
if usr && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
# We have color support; assume it’s compliant with Ecma-48
# (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
# a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)
color_prompt=yes
else
color_prompt=
fi
fi

if "$color_prompt" = yes ; then
PS1=‘${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\03301;32m\\u@\h\[\03300m\:\[\03301;34m\\w\[\03300m\\$ ’
else
PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ’
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

  1. If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
    case “$TERM” in
    xterm*|rxvt*)
    PS1=“\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$PS1”
    ;;
    *)
    ;;
    esac
  1. enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
    if usr; then
    test -r ~/.dircolors && eval “$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)” || eval “$(dircolors -b)”
    alias ls=‘ls —color=auto’

#alias grep=‘grep —color=auto’ #alias fgrep=‘fgrep —color=auto’ #alias egrep=‘egrep —color=auto’

  1. Alias definitions.
  2. You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
  3. ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
  4. See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.

if .bash_aliases ; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi

  1. enable programmable completion features (you don’t need to enable
  2. this, if it’s already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
  3. sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
    if etc && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
