mutability

- install the two shellscripts into the appropriate places under /etc/initramfs-tools
- run update-initramfs
- put "overlay=yes" on the kernel command line
- reboot

With the overlay in place, the real root is mounted readonly on /ro.
Only the root fs is changed, other filesystems are mounted normally.

Remove "overlay=yes" (or change it to something other than yes) and reboot to go back to readwrite.
(This probably means that you want the commandline config to live somewhere other than on the root fs, e.g. under /boot)

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh

SIM Card Management Over GSM Modem

A small guide on how to send and receive USSD codes on Linux

I am using the built in GSM (UMTS) modem of my Thinkpad X1 extensively because I am often in places with flaky internet connections. I connect through the standard Network Manager on Ubuntu and everything works fine. There was one major annoyance though. Every time I wanted to top up the SIM balance or book a new package, I needed a phone to send and receive USSD codes. So I took some time to figure out how to do it from the shell. I wrote this down as a help for others and a reminder for myself. Without further ado...

First intsall gammu and picocom.

➜  ~  sudo apt-get install -y gammu picocom
