phpMyAdmin collated db in utf8_bin shows hex data instead of UTF8 text

Expanding options and setting 'show binary contents' then pressing 'Go' fixes it.

and $cfg['DisplayBinaryAsHex'] = false;

CLRF characters in my PKGBUILD!

makepkg
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD contains CRLF characters and cannot be sourced.

Solution:

sed -i 's/^M//' PKGBUILD

[ctrl+v][ctrl+m] for the ^M symbol.

Control amarok through dbus with SSH.

 The session needs to know $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, so get that first and then run qdbus.

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`cat /proc/$(pidof kded4)/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep DBUS | cut -d '=' -f2-` ; qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.PlayPause
