TechnologyAfter upgrading 3.12.5, my archlinux dropped its alsa configuration, also I bought a new bluetooth headset MW600, following is the steps for catching back the alsa sound, and let bluetooth headset working together with alsa.
###Fetching back sound
Found out the hadware
$ sudo alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Intel CougarPoint HDMI" "HDA:111d7605,103c3587,00100105 HDA:11c11040,103c3066,00100200 HDA:80862805,80860101,00100000" "0x103c" "0x161c"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
The acl should be reset via:
sudo setfacl -m u:Trusty:rw /dev/snd/*

TechnologyI’ve been using octopress for writing blogs for nearly half of a year. The website is hosted on my family computer, which is a arm-based machine, runs Debian Linux. But such machine can sometimes be powered off by accident. That’s while I want to put my webpages onto a stable server. Most of the people put their website on github, but github may be banned in china, so I choose heroku, I think it may be much more safer.
###Preparation
First you have to register the heroku, and then create a new App, you will got a pop-up window which contains following message:
Your app, XXXX, has been Created.
App URL: http://XXXX.herokuapp.com/
Git URL: git@heroku.com:XXXX.git
Use the following code to set up your app for local development
git clone git@heroku.com:XXXX.git -o heroku
You have to remember these messages, for later we will use them to upload our own website.
###Local Modification
Clone your remote app to local directory
git clone git@heroku.com:XXXX.git -o heroku
cd heroku
Copy your existing octopress to local directory, be sure to remove the existing .git directory in your octopress directory.
cp Source_Directory ./
Remove some files
rm Gemfile.lock README.markdown CHANGELOG.markdown
Clear out the .slugignore file
>.slugignore
Update your gemfile:
source "https://rubygems.org"
group :development do
gem 'rake', '~> 0.9'
gem 'jekyll', '~> 0.12'
gem 'rdiscount', '~> 1.6.8'
gem 'pygments.rb', '~> 0.3.4'
gem 'RedCloth', '~> 4.2.9'
gem 'haml', '~> 3.1.7'
gem 'compass', '~> 0.12.2'
gem 'sass', '~> 3.2'
gem 'sass-globbing', '~> 1.0.0'
gem 'rubypants', '~> 0.2.0'
gem 'rb-fsevent', '~> 0.9'
gem 'stringex', '~> 1.4.0'
gem 'liquid', '~> 2.3.0'
gem 'directory_watcher', '1.4.1'
end
gem 'rake', '~> 0.9'
gem 'jekyll', '~> 0.12'
gem 'rdiscount', '~> 1.6.8'
gem 'pygments.rb', '~> 0.3.4'
gem 'RedCloth', '~> 4.2.9'
gem 'haml', '~> 3.1.7'
gem 'compass', '~> 0.12.2'
gem 'sass-globbing', '~> 1.0.0'
gem 'rubypants', '~> 0.2.0'
gem 'stringex', '~> 1.4.0'
gem 'liquid', '~> 2.3.0'
gem 'sinatra', '~> 1.4.2'
Since we use the rdiscount version is 1.6.8, when generate pages, this will cause failure, we also have to update one line in “_config.yml”:
markdown: rdiscount
rdiscount:
extensions:
- autolink
#- footnotes
- smart
###Setup
Install the dependencies:
bundle install
Also you want to notice the rvm information, for example I use 1.9.3 for octopress, then my configuration is listed as:
$ cat .rvmrc
rvm use 1.9.3
$ cat ~/.bashrc | grep rvm
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
###Testing
Generate the website:
rake generate
Preview the website:
rake preview
Open http://127.0.0.1:4000 to view the preview result.
###Deploy
Add all of the files in current directory to git
git add .
Commit all of the changes:
git commit -m 'site initialized'
Push your changes to heroku
git push heroku master
View your website:
heroku open
###Ignore some tmp files
Create a .gitignore file under the current directory
.bundle
.DS_Store
.sass-cache
.gist-cache
.pygments-cache
_deploy
public
sass.old
source.old
source/_stash
source/stylesheets/screen.css
vendor
node_modules
*~
Update the cache via:
git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m "fixed untracked files"
Push again:
git push heroku master
Unfortunately, the .gitignore couldn’t remove public, so the final file only contains:
*~
###Future Modification
Add new blogs:
rake new_post["Your_Article_Name"]
Generate locally:
rake generate
Add changes:
git commit -a
Push to heroku:
git push heroku master
Now you have a stable and swift website on heroku, enjoy it.
###Modify theme
git clone git://github.com/lucaslew/whitespace .themes/Whitespace
rake install['Whitespace']
rake generate
More themes could be found at https://github.com/imathis/octopress/wiki/3rd-Party-Octopress-Themes.
You can preview these themes at http://opthemes.com/.
###Change Colorscheme
Since our theme locates under the .themes/Whitespace folder, simply change the following files:
$ pwd
/home/Trusty/code/octo/heroku/Tomcat/.themes/Whitespace/sass/base
[Trusty@~/code/octo/heroku/Tomcat/.themes/Whitespace/sass/base]$ cat _solarized.scss
//$solarized: dark !default;
$solarized: light !default;
Now your blog should have the light theme of solarized.

Go to your Settings.
Click “SSH Keys” in the left sidebar
Click “Add SSH key”
Paste your key into the “Key” field

Then see if you were authorized by github:
[Trusty@XXXyyy debian_octopress]$ ssh -T git@github.com
Hi geogueo! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
###Setting for repository
Add the remote url for local repository
[Trusty@XXXyyy debian_octopress]$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:geogueo/debian_octopress.git
Now you can use the following command for swiftly commit your code
[Trusty@XXXyyy debian_octopress]$ unset SSH_ASKPASS
[Trusty@XXXyyy debian_octopress]$ git push origin master
