I have a Dell Laptop (Fedora-23) connected to my Big screen TV via HDMI cable. I use Kodi to watch movies on TV. Though Kodi can be controlled via its web interface, but I wanted to control other things as well in Linux remotely via my MacBook pro. I found http://synergy-project.org/ as one of solution to this problem. Although it is an Open Source Project, they do not provide installers free of cost. So I performed following steps to build Synergy for my MacBook pro and Linux both.
Note: I tried VNC but was not happy with it.
$ brew install qt $ brew install cmake
$ git clone http://github.com/symless/synergy $ cd synergy make changes to ext/toolchain/commands1.py file as per https://github.com/symless/synergy/wiki/Compiling#Mac_OS_X_1010_and_above I ran following commands to make relevant changes. $ cd ext/toolchain/ $ perl -i -wnl -e 'm!(.*)elif sys\.platform == "darwin":(.*)! and print "$1if sys.platform == \"darwin\":$2" or print ' commands1.py $ perl -i -wnl -e 'm!(.*)frameworkRootDir = ! and print "$1frameworkRootDir = \"/usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.7_1/Frameworks\"" or print ' commands1.py $ cd ../../ $ ./hm.sh conf -g1 --mac-sdk 10.11 --mac-identity `hostname` $ ./hm.sh build $ ./hm.sh package macMac package .dmg will be created. Install that .dmg file. First time it will not run and gives error.
$ git clone http://github.com/symless/synergy $ cd synergy Follow instructions in https://github.com/symless/synergy/wiki/Compiling#Unix_Linux_Mac_OS_X (in short these consists of following steps) $ ./hm.sh conf -g1 $ ./hm.sh build $ ./hm.sh package rpm RPM will be generated like following. bin/synergy-master-beta-7a207b4-Linux-x86_64.rpmInstall above generated RPM. This Linux laptop will be client to Synergy Master running on MacBook Pro.
$ synergyc -f 192.168.0.7 192.168.0.7 is the IP ADDRESS of my MacBook Pro. I usually run it in a screen session as following. $ screen -S synergy synergyc -f 192.168.0.7Once it is connected, MacBook Pro's mouse and keyboard can be shared in all three devices i.e (MacBook Pro, Linux Laptop and TV).
when a packet goes through Linux IPTABLES firewall, it goes through various in-built chains and tables. These chains and tables together determine the fate of packet. This article does not tell what will happen to the packet, but will tell how a packet journey goes when it enters IPTABLES. in-short a packet workflow is described.
There are various article that explain these workflow very well. This article will just describe a pattern that would be easy to apply when dealing with IPTABLES.
At this point a diagram worth mentioning is https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Netfilter-packet-flow.svg
1) raw 2) mangle 3) nat 4) filter
1) raw => PREROUTING, OUTPUT 2) mangle => PREROUTING, OUTPUT, INPUT, FORWARD, POSTROUTING 3) nat => PREROUTING, OUTPUT, POSTROUTING 4) filter => INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT
a) If a packet is coming from outside and destined for localhost then it will go through following chains: 1) PREROUTING 2) INPUT b) if a packet is originating from localhost and destined to go out then it will go through following chains: 1) OUTPUT 2) POSTROUTING c) if a packet is coming from outside and is destined for some other machine then packet will go through following chains: 1) PREROUTING 2) FORWARD 3) POSTROUTING
Kernel goes through each TABLE in order (written above) and it applies PREROUTING chain if found in that TABLE onto packet.
Kernel does same above scan of each table while applying INPUT chain to packet.
For each chain i.e [PREROUTING, INPUT]: (in order left to right)
kernel looks for the chain in each table i.e [raw, mangle, nat, filter]: (in order left to right)
and if chain is found in the table:
then it applies the chain to packet
else does nothing.
That means: For this scenario, kernel
1) first scans raw TABLE and finds PREROUTING chain here and applies it onto packet.
2) then it scans mangle TABLE and finds PREROUTING chain there and applies it to packet.
3) then it scans nat TABLE and finds PREROUTING chain there and applies it to packet.
4) then it scans filter TABLE but does not find PREROUTING chain here and does nothing to packet.
5) same above steps (1 - 4 ) are repeated for INPUT chain.
6) then kernel scans raw TABLE but does not find INPUT chain, so nothing happens here.
7) then kernel scans mangle TABLE and finds INPUT chain here and applies it to packet.
8) then kernel scans nat TABLE and does not find INPUT chain, so nothing happens here.
9) then kernel scans filter TABLE and finds INPUT chain here and applies it to packet.
For each chain i.e [OUTPUT, POSTROUTING]: (in order left to right)
kernel looks for the chain in each table i.e [raw, mangle, nat, filter]: (in order left to right)
and if chain is found in the table:
then it applies the chain to packet
else does nothing.
For each chain i.e [PREROUTING, FORWARD, POSTROUTING]: (in order left to right)
kernel looks for the chain in each table i.e [raw, mangle, nat, filter]: (in order left to right)
and if chain is found in the table:
then it applies the chain to packet
else does nothing.
Above pattern can be corroborated with diagram above. You have to look only into network layer in that diagram.
'pillar_rpm_packages': [ 'package1==ver1.rel1.x86_64',
'package2==ver2.rel2.x86_64',
'package3==ver3.rel2.x86_64', ]
Then we will create a salt module custmod_rpm_packages_from_list (on SaltMaster). This module will have a function called "create_packages_states". This salt module will be pushed to salt agents. Agents will call this module.function as custmod_rpm_packages_from_list.create_packages_states. This function accepts "pillar_rpm_packages" as its argument and then generates "json" formatted states of package installation.
{'pkg': ['installed', {'version': pack_version }]}
Please note that we wanted to have package installation states generated with version number included, so that only a specific version of RPM package can be installed not latest one./srv/salt/baseenv/pillar/States are in following directory.
/srv/salt/baseenv/states/PILLAR DATA GENERATION
# mkdir /srv/salt/baseenv/pillar/data # touch /srv/salt/baseenv/pillar/data/rpm_packages.listFollowing are the contents of rpm_packages.list file. Ofcourse you can add your own.

#
# This state file will just extract packages name versions and release info and create a salt compatibale data structure
# created data structure will be :

import os, subprocess
def run():

for package in open('/srv/salt/baseenv/pillar/data/rpm_packages.list'):

rep_query_process.wait()
if rep_query_process.returncode == 0:
formatted_package_name=rep_query_process.stdout.readline().rstrip()
config['pillar_rpm_packages'].append(formatted_package_name)
return config
/srv/salt/baseenv/pillar/top.sls will have something similar to following.
baseenv:

return packages_states
Now if we want to use above module to Install RPMS, then create a state file with following contents.
# touch /srv/salt/baseenv/states/install_rpm_packages.slsstates/install_rpm_packages.sls file will have following contents.
#!py
config = { }
def run():
config = __salt__['custmod_rpm_packages_from_list.create_packages_states']('pillar_rpm_packages')
return config
baseenv/states/top.sls may have following contents.

A.new.methoda_protected
# 1) Java => A Java equivalent would be this.methoda_protected() . This will work in Java. As protected methods are inherited in Java directly. Needed verification.
# 2) Ruby => This will work. Ruby will be calling inherited method. Java will also do the same.

# 1) Java => Instance method can call static method (class method).
# 2) Ruby => This will not work. Instance method CANNOT call class method.
#methoda_classmethod_public
# 1) Java => instance method can call static method (class method). In java it would be this.methoda_classmethod_public()
# 2) Ruby => this will not work. Because inside instance method self will be referring to the instance of B. And instance of B CANNOT call
# singleton method of class A.

# But when in case of singleton methods defined on class (class methods), they can be called by dervied class also. (Not by derived class instances).
