How to download full albums from facebook?

Filed under howto, Software, Tips by on January 10, 2011 at 11:58 am {no comments}

Most of the time we need to download entire album from facebook. If you are using Firefox for browsing internet, by adding FacePAD addon you can download an entire album. FacePAD (Facebook Photo Album Downloader) allows you to download entire Facebook albums with a click of a button.

SETUP/PREFERENCES

  • Make sure that THIRD PARTY COOKIES are ENABLED in Firefox’s Options/Preferences (under the Privacy tab).

DOWNLOAD ALBUMS (YOURS, FRIEND’S)

  • To download photos from a friend’s/fan page album, right-click (with your mouse) on the name/link of the Facebook album of interest and click the DOWNLOAD ALBUM WITH FACEPAD option.
  • A window will pop-up asking you to choose a directory/folder where you would like the photos to be stored.
  • The photos will then be downloaded and renamed in sequential, ascending order, where the order is determined by the age of the photo.

DOWNLOAD ALBUMS (TAGGED PHOTOS)

  • To download your tagged photos or tagged photos of a friend of yours, you must first click on any picture that you or that person is tagged in. Let that page with the single page picture load.
  • At the top left of the page that loaded, there should be an option that says Photos of User, where User should be replaced with your name or your friend’s name.
  • Right-click (with your mouse) on the Photos of Me/User link and click the DOWNLOAD ALBUM WITH FACEPAD option.
  • A window will pop-up asking you to choose a directory/folder where you would like the photos to be stored.
  • The photos will then be downloaded and renamed in sequential, ascending order, where the order is determined by the age of the photo.
  • After every 200 photos, the destination-choosing popup will appear. Make sure to choose the same destination. This is an artifact of the code that has no elegant way of being removed (at the present time).

    • NOTE: YOU CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR TAGGED ALBUMS, AND YOUR FRIENDS’ TAGGED ALBUMS. IF YOU DOWNLOAD A FRIENDS’ TAGGED PHOTO ALBUM, THE NUMBER OF PHOTOS LISTED IN THE ALBUM MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE NUMBER YOU DOWNLOAD, SINCE SOME USERS DO NOT HAVE THE “SHARE PHOTOS WITH FRIEND’S OF FRIEND” OPTION ENABLED.

DOWNLOAD ALBUMS (GROUP, EVENT, FANPAGE)

  • To download photos from these albums, click on the photo tab in said group/event/fan-page. At the top, where it says SEE ALL PHOTOS, right-click (with your mouse) on this link and click DOWNLOAD ALBUM WITH FACEPAD option.
  • A window will pop-up asking you to choose a directory/folder where you would like the photos to be stored.
  • The photos will then be downloaded and renamed in sequential, ascending order, where the order is determined by the age of the photo.

    • NOTE: ONLY THE FIRST 200 PHOTOS IN GROUP/EVENET/FAN-PAGE ALBUMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED. THIS IS A PROBLEM I CANNOT WORK AROUND AT THE MOMENT.

Here is the video tutorial on how to setup and use FacePAD

Disabling SELinux

Filed under Basic, CentOS, Fedora, howto, Linux, Server, System, Tips by on December 31, 2010 at 3:29 pm {no comments}

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux feature that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies, including United States Department of Defense style mandatory access controls, through the use of Linux Security Modules (LSM) in the Linux kernel.

Temporarily switch off enforcement
You can switch the system into permissive mode with the following command

echo 0 >/selinux/enforce

To switch back into enforcing mode

echo 1 >/selinux/enforce

To check what mode the system is in

sestatus

Fully Disabling SELinux
To fully disable SELinux you need to modify /etc/selinux/config file. Run following commands to fully disable SELinux

sed -i 's/^SELINUX=/#SELINUX=/g' /etc/selinux/config
echo 'SELINUX=disabled' >> /etc/selinux/config

You need to restart the machine to reflect the changes.

Above methods should work on CentOS, RedHat and on Fedora.

Some times we need to split files into smaller chunk to redistrubute them easily. There are so many utilities to do this task in windows but for linux you can use LXSplit.

To install LXSplit via apt run,

apt-get install lxsplit

To install LXSplit via yum run,

yum install lxsplit

Using LXSplit is very simple to split a file, do

lxsplit -s file_to_split split_size

For eg. I have 700MB file and want to split it into 100MB parts then I will run,

lxsplit -s file_to_split 100M

To join a file just run,

lxsplit -j split_file_part
