Status on unwanted features of Mac OSX Lion

Here is an update on the issues I encountered running OSX Lion.
  1. The "Reopen windows when logging back in" feature
    2. It can now be disabled. The UI will still have the checkbox but it will have no effect. This is good enough for me. Here is how to fix it.

  2. NTFS Support 
    3. Regarding the NTFS support it is still not available for free as the NTFS-3G driver that works with MacFUSE under Snow Leopard. I did however find yet another available driver: Paragon software has a driver for NTFS on Mac OSX as well.
I'll still stick with Snow Leopard for now. But it seems that the issues are being solved.

FreeOTP icon fix on Android

This guide is a workaround for:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeotp/ticket/51

How to backup your FreeOTP tokens is described in this ticket.
To backup your tokens run:
adb backup -f freeotp.bak org.fedorahosted.freeotp
Next we need to extract the backup to edit it. (How to extract the backup)

First run this command:
dd if=freeotp.bak bs=24 skip=1 | openssl zlib -d > freeotp.tar OR
java -jar abe.jar unpack freeotp.bak freeotp.tar <password> Then extract the tar archive and the list of files in the tar archive:
tar -tf freeotp.tar > freeotp.list tar -xvf freeotp.tar

Look for a string like this:
content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/-1/1/content%3A%2F%2Fmedia%2Fexternal%2Fimages%2Fmedia%2F<unique number>/ACTUAL/<SOME NUMBER>
Change it to:
content://media/external/images/media/<unique number>
The number <unique number> should be replaced with the actual number in your string.

Now pack the up…

Podcasts in UE Smart Radio

I upgraded my Squeezebox radio to UE Smart Radio.
By doing that I thought I lost the ability to access podcasts from the Squeezebox.
Browsing the logitech forums it turned out that with the TuneIn radio application it was still possible to play podcasts on the Squeezebox radio.

Here is the procedure:

1. Create a user on tunein.com
2. Go to "Favorites" on tunein.com and add a "Custom URL"
3. Add the URL to the podcast you want to access from your Squeezebox
4. Go to uesmartradio.com and log in
5. Add the TuneIn Radio service to your Squeezebox Radio with the user created in step 1.
6. Now go to the TuneIn Radio application on the Squeezebox and go to Radio > My Presets > Shows

Connect to postgresql 9.2 server in openSUSE 13.2

I tried to connect to my postgresql server after upgrading to openSUSE 13.2 from 13.1 using the guide from opensuse.org
That resulted in this error message:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

There was no files in /var/run/postgresql/. So that explained why it could not connect to that Unix domain socket.
So where was the socket? Reading this answer I found that I could run this command to figure out where the socket was:
~> netstat -nlp | grep 5432
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
