  3. Setting root password

     sudo passwd root
     >> root
  1. check if apache2 is installed and port 80 is being used

     ps -A | grep apache
     sudo netstat -nlp  | grep 80

remove if installed:

    sudo killall apache2

    #include <strlib.h>
    
    LPCWSTR c2ws(const char* s){
     int len;
     int slength = strlen(s)+1;
     len = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s, slength, 0, 0);
     wchar_t* buf = new wchar_t[len];
     MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s, slength, buf, len);
     LPCWSTR r(buf);
     delete[] buf;
     return r;

    Install Pygame for Python 2.7 on Windows 64bit

    Check here for pygame wheel.

    My config goes like C:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64, so it is a pre-compiled python bundle. The official site lists release only for 32-bit. But it gives the link to a wheel link.

    Basically, this is a personal managed wheel list. Choose the follow wheel and install through pip command

    pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

    Copy firmware files

    Clone all intel firmwares from OpenELEC repository,

    git clone https://github.com/OpenELEC/iwlwifi-firmware
    cd iwlwifi-firmware/firmware
    sudo cp iwlwifi-7265*  /lib/firmware
    

    Installing Driver

    sudo apt-get install build-essential
    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git -b release/LinuxCore14
    cd backport-iwlwifi
    make defconfig-iwlwifi-public
    sed -i 's/CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS=y/# CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS is not set/' .config

    depmod will prefer updates/ over kernel/ -- OK!
    Note:
    You may or may not need to update your initramfs, you should if
    any of the modules installed are part of your initramfs. To add
    support for your distribution to do this automatically send a
    patch against "update-initramfs.sh". If your distribution does not
    require this send a patch with the '/usr/bin/lsb_release -i -s'
    ("Ubuntu") tag for your distribution to avoid this warning.
    
    Your backported driver modules should be installed now.
    Reboot.

    PyInstaller: Tweaking spec file

    Install PyInstaller

    pip install pyinstaller
    

    Generate spec file

    pyinstaller --onefile foo.py
    

    Tweak spec file

                 datas=[("myfile.txt", "."),
                        ("mydb.db", ".")
                 ],
                 hiddenimports=["packaging", "packaging.version", "packaging.specifiers"],
    

    In one-file mode, no COLLECT is called within spec file, so finally there will be only one exe file generated.

    Generate one-file exe

    pyinstaller foo.spec
