Pidgin and Mugshot conflict...
Bây giờ mới phát hiện ra, hồi giờ cứ tưởng bug của pidgin …làm upgrade rầm rầm, bỏ sang dùng lại gaim 1.5, nhưng đâu lại vào đấy. Mugshot với các thể loại gaim hay pidgin bị đụng gì đó, nghi có lẽ do dbus …mỗi lần start lên là CPU vùn vụt, load tăng lên chóng mặt, freezed… Giải pháp là tắt bớt 1 cái, tắt mugshot, start pidgin lên trước…

Fedora 8 and the Online Destkop
“The world is changing and online applications are becoming more and more popular, whether for e-mail or word processing. The developers behind Bigboard and Gnome’s ‘online desktop’ initiative think it’s time our desktops started catching up. Read on to find an interview with Colin Walters, more information about Bigboard, the online desktop and the obligatory...

Romain Francoise: Working around link tracking
Readers of this blog have probably noticed by now my links posts; they are generated automatically from my Shared Items in Google Reader by a Python script which parses the Atom feed of my items and posts them to Blogger using the GData API. This works fine, but one of the annoying side effects is that the links in the blog post are not necessarily the real permalinks to the original articles...
Joey Hess: on debian directories in upstream...
From time to time the question comes up on Debian mailing lists of whether
debian directories in upstream tarballs are harmful and what do do about
them. I tend hide from such threads, since all upstream tarballs I create
contain debian directories. But I realised tonight that the common wisdom from those discussions is
wrong, or at least incomplete. Here’s why. First, it’s important...

Amazon MP3 Vs. iTunes Music Store
Ali writes “As discussed here recently, amazon.com has launched a public beta of Amazon MP3, a digital music store that provides DRM-free downloads of over 2 million songs from 180,000 artists and 20,000 labels. In comparison, Apple says the iTunes Store now contains over 6 million songs. Here is a head-to-head comparison.” Read more of this story at Slashdot. (via luKas’...

Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students?
I am a new graduate student in Computer Engineering. I would like to get my MS and possibly my Ph.D. I have learned that 90% of my department is from India and many others are from China. All the students come here to study and there are only 7 US citizens in the engineering program this year. Why is that? I have heard that many of the smarter Americans go into medicine or the law and that is why...
GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 for Beginners
“A research firm serving the mobile phone industry has published an 18-page whitepaper about open source licensing. Entitled ‘GPLv2 vs. GPLv3’, the paper examines the meteoric rise of open source software, and the forces that shaped each license, before concluding with an extremely detailed point-by-point comparison.” (via luKas’ shared items in Google Reader)

I realize I haven’t posted a Vim Tip of the Week for the past few weeks. I’ve been out on the road for work running ragged and just trying to keep up. Now that I’m home for the weekend I thought I would try to catch up a bit.
My suggestion this week for all of you that really want to get comfortable and master the art of Vi/Vim is to pick up this title from O’Reilly. VI Editor Pocket...
Martin F. Krafft: Uninformed slagger
Scott (no, Clint, I don’t know
why he’s still on Planet Debian…), I would have expected a little more from
you than your previous post on why you chose bazaar!
I can tell you why you chose bazaar: because you had to, because you are being
paid to use it. But what do I care? I found bazaar to be so amazingly slow on
any reasonably-sized repository, that I quickly moved on after trying...
Taoism of open source
2,500 years ago, the Chinese philosopher Confucius asked Lao-tzu, the founder of Taoism, “What is Tao?” Lao-tzu opened his mouth but said nothing. Confucius left with a smile, but his students were puzzled. Confucius explained, “Lao-tzu has passed us the Tao. In his mouth, there are no teeth but only a tongue. The hard ones (teeth) died, but the soft one (the tongue) lives; the...

Package dependency graphs on steroids
How an innocent and simple question can lead to strange development.
I was looking for a simple command that would tell me what the dependency
path is from one package to some other package. That is, without having to
go by trial-and-error using e.g. aptitude.
Actually, I am getting quite annoyed by the fact that I regularly see e.g.

Note to Apple: Stop thinking Like a Phone Company
As we all know by now, the latest software update to the iPhone may in some cases turn it into a useless brick—if you happen to have put hacked software on it or unlocked it (ahem, John) in order to make it work on a non-AT&T carrier (such as T-Mobile, in the U.S.). Apple, of course, is free to try to lock in customers to its partner AT&T and to control what software will work on the...
Installation Toolkit for Linux on POWER
The IBM Installation Toolkit for Linux on POWER simplifies the installation of Linux on virtualized and non-virtualized Power machines, gives you a bootable rescue DVD, and provides the software needed to fully exploit the Power platform.

IPhone Update -- Hackers' Edition
Here’s an iPhone update from the Gadget Lab blog regarding the firmware upgrade to version 1.1.1. There’s good news and there’s bad news. First the bad news. If you’ve unlocked your iPhone but have not upgraded it, don’t upgrade it! It will almost certainly not work afterwards, with no reliable remedy yet available. And that’s not the end of it. (via...
Private Equity Eats Avaya for $8.2 Billion and...
Two big private equity deals today. Shareholders finally approved the $8.2 billion buyout of Avaya by Silver Lake Partners and the Texas Pacific Group (not bad for an IP phone company that once was part of Lucent). And 3Com, the perpetually money-losing maker of computer networking equipment and competitor of Cisco Systems, has agreed to be acquired by Bain Capital and Chinese networking...
What is a tumblelog?
A tumblelog is a stream of consciousness. A series of images, links, videos, quotes, and short blurbs that don’t necessarily share a common thread, but can collectively be pieced together to form a personality. If a conversations exists, it doesn’t exist on the tumblelog itself, but throughout the entire internet. If I expect to see feedback anywhere, it’s on someone else’s site.

GNU/Linux distro for women? Why not?
On various women’s mailing lists, a subscriber has raised the idea of a distribution developed “for and by women.” So far, the idea has met with a cool reception. It might even be a troll. However, if such a distro ever gets underway, it would be very much in the spirit of the community, and might give more women the background and confidence to reduce the gender gap in free...
Linux distro for women? Thanks, but no thanks
The idea is floating around again: Let’s make a special Linux distribution for women! We’re smarter than that, aren’t we? I say, let’s spare ourselves and the world yet another pointless and less-than-useful version of Linux. (via luKas’ shared items in Google Reader)

Fusion-io's ioDrive puts power of a SAN on a PCIe...
Filed under: Storage In a recent demonstration at DEMOFall ‘07, Fusion-io showed off its newest PCIe device, which reportedly “places the power of a SAN (storage area network) in the palm of your hand.” Essentially, this single device boasts up to 640GB of storage capacity, delivers 100,000 IOPS (input / output per second) and can achieve sustained data rates of 800Mb/sec (read)...
Ingo Juergensmann: Swap sizes
On planet.d.o I find Russell Cokers blog one of the most interesting blogs at all. Today he blogged about swap sizes in the past and nowadays.
I agree with him that having 16 GB swap space on a 8 GB system is next to useless, but I disagree with this: A Linux machine with 16M of RAM and 32M of swap MIGHT work acceptably for some applications (although when I was running Linux machines...

Symobi is a graphical RTOS with a newly designed architecture, according to state-of-the-art technology. It is based on the microkernel system µnOS, which was also developed by Miray...
Aaron Toponce: KDE- Hello Again
Dear KDE-
It’s been nearly 4 years since I ran you last back in my SuSE days. I loved how I could configure everything under the sun with you. I could make my windows, icons, fonts, styles, and everything look and feel the way I wanted. I never really tried Gnome or other window managers much except maybe for Fluxbox, and they didn’t give me the flexibility that you did.
Then along came...
MAC kernel
The Mac OS X kernel is based on Mach and FreeBSD. It means that it is microkernel. In the world of academics - where people usually dream about computers rather than use them - microkernel is good, because it provides a flexibility of linking and unlinking kernel extensions without having to restart the computer. And it saves memory too. However, in the real life, where we write serious software,...

When Not to Use chroot
Hyena writes “Linux guru Alan Cox is quoted as saying ‘chroot is not and never has been a security tool’ in a KernelTrap article summarizing a lengthy thread on the Linux Kernel mailing list. The discussion began with a patch attempting to ‘fix a security hole’ in the Unix chroot command, trying to improve the ability of chroot to contain a process. When it was...

Neutrino Consulting provides IT services for small companies that don’t want or need an in-house technology departments. Michael Wacht, Neutrino’s founder and principal, says because he offers open source software alternatives to his clients, they get to choose the “best of the best,” avoiding big license fees and vendor lock in. That, he says, makes Neutrino more...
Tristan Rhodes: What is the main benefit of open...
The short answer is that open source reduces the cost of software. It is widely accepted that software is a necessary cost of doing business in today’s environment. Therefore, it is beneficial for companies to find ways to acquire software that minimizes that cost. I believe that the open source development model is the most efficient way to create software. In the traditional software...
Kees Cook: stupid BIOS tricks to find your 4G of...
A few months ago I upgraded my system to 4G of RAM. Blinded by my shiny new DIMMs, I never actually looked at the output of “free”. All I saw was that the system-monitor applet now showed lots of free memory. Only recently did I noticed that I only had 3G of RAM, instead of my expected 4G. This is a rather common problem when running a 32bit OS, but I’ve been running 64bit for a while now. ...
Should Microsoft Abandon Vista?
According to at least one blogger, Microsoft should abandon Vista before it’s too late. It would appear he’s not alone in this opinion, as Microsoft has begun allowing users to downgrade back to XP. Amongst the reasons? Poor sales figures and shoddy Vista “Extras”. (via luKas’ shared items in Google Reader)
Export Writer documents into any wiki format
One of the most welcome additions to OpenOffice.org 2.3 is a new export filter that allows you to save Writer documents as MediaWiki-formatted pages. That’s all fine and dandy if you are using MediaWiki, but what about other wiki systems? The answer to this question comes in the form of the OpenOffice2UniWakka export filter. While it’s designed to work with the UniWakka wiki, with a...
Google: 99.999 Percent Reliable, in Brazil
The folks at Pingdom measure the uptime of Google in different countries around the world. Google users in Brazil encounter the fewest hiccups. Google’s Brazil site was down only three minutes in an entire year, giving it five 9s reliability. The U.S. search site was down ten times as much, giving it only 99.994 percent reliability. I think I can live with that. (Sweden came in last, with 48...
