OpenLDAP

OpenLDAP Commands

On a remote machine, you can access and dump the whole LDAP tree:

ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=whiterock' -D "cn=Manager,dc=whiterock" '(objectclass=*)' -H ldap://192.168.0.110 -W     (home)
ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=iat,dc=sfu,dc=ca' -D "cn=Manager,dc=iat,dc=sfu,dc=ca" '(objectclass=*)' -H ldap://209.87.56.238 -W    (campus)

Colour (color) Management under Linux

hostname ~ # emerge -v argyllcms     (currently requires using layman, and adding the sunrise overlay)
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/argyllcms-1.1.1  USE="-doc" 0 kB [1]

Attach the Colormunki Photo USB-device, then run (target brightness of 120mc/m^2, final gamma of 2.2, LCD monitor, target temp=6500K (D65), with large-ish centered patch):

user@hostname ~ $ dispcal -y l -q h -t 6500 -g 2.2 -b 120 -P 0.5,0.5,2.0 -v 3008wfp     (this will create a file 3008wfp.cal in the directory where you ran the command)

Typically choose Option 5 from the initial menu:

Display adjustment menu:
Press 1 .. 7
1) Black level (CRT: Offset/Brightness)
2) White point (Color temperature, R,G,B, Gain/Contrast)
3) White level (CRT: Gain/Contrast, LCD: Brightness/Backlight)
4) Black point (R,G,B, Offset/Brightness)
5) Check all
6) Measure and set ambient for viewing condition adjustment
7) Continue on to calibration
8) Exit

Then, once you've got some initial numbers, choose Option 7 (and go grab a coffee; this takes a while... around 17min)
Apply your new calibration:

user@hostname ~ $ dispwin 3008wfp.cal     naturally, change the file-name to whatever you used :-)
