The battery of your laptop keeps getting drained even though you are using Suspend-To-Disk [STD]? (No, I’m not talking about Suspend-To-RAM!) That’s what happens at least on my Lenovo ThinkPad X61s notebook. Thankfully there exists a workaround: Check out what suspend method you use: # cat /sys/power/disk [platform] test testproc shutdown reboot So by default […]

… or something like that… I planned to write a short note about how to start with using git-svn so I can provide a pointer to some of my colleagues. It turned out that git has too many nice features that you should be aware of. :) Hopefully my notes (now being a reference for […]

Currently there are some routing problems to the newsserver of Albasani.net. I can’t reach the newsserver from the system where I’m reading news, but through another system ($GATEWAY) which is located at another ISP without any problems. Solution? ssh -L 9999:news.albasani.net:119 $GATEWAY NNTPSERVER=localhost:9999 slrn -f $NEWSRC Simple. No further setup changes. Just. Works.

Wenn mir Jörn schon mal ein Stöckchen zum Thema "Wie benutzt Du Deine virtuellen Desktops?" zuspielt, mach ich natürlich gerne mit. :-) Ich hab auf meinem Linux-Desktop 12 virtuelle Desktops. Die Zahl 12, weil ich genau diese mit Alt-F1 bis Alt-F12 ansteuern kann. Meine statische Belegung der Desktops schaut wie folgt aus: 1: Konsole, mit […]

I usually don’t blog links to external ressources without adding any further information, but too many people I’ve met in the last few days aren’t aware of the following docs: Ulrich Drepper’s "What every programmer should know about memory" (PDF) D. J. Bernstein’s "Some thoughts on security after ten years of qmail 1.0" (PDF) Proceedings […]

Your buddy list in ICQ (especially when using centericq/centerim) seems to be shorter than usual since a few days? Check bug 39 in centerim’s bug tracking system. Ok, just another chance to get rid of the centericq/centerim stuff, right? One option is to use the IRC instant messaging gateway BitlBee (especially if you are used […]

Just a short notice: if you have to deal with the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) under Linux and it does not work with Firefox: use Opera instead. In Firefox the keyboard inside the remote console java applet does not work (at least on several boxes I’ve being working on) whereas it does in Opera. […]

Was Dell zu Vista mit 512MB RAM sagt, hat wohl schon die Runde gemacht: Great for… Booting the Operating System, without running applications or games Sehr schön finde ich aber auch Amazon, die nicht nur einmal ein: Mitgeliefertes Betriebssystem: Legales Windows XP Professional im Angebot haben. 8-)

Experienced on a grml-developer meeting by gebi: Stupid 32 vs. 64bit problem. See unison’s FAQ and #404697 for more information. Workaround: just use the 32bit binary on the 64bit system. The real solution would be to use a current version of unison (>=2.27) – though the latest stable release of unison is still version 2.13 […]

Wer etwas in der Richtung einer Cisco ASA5505 hat und im Virtuellen Campus Graz (VCG) ist, kann mit ASDM (hier in Version 5.2(3) im Einsatz) und dessen ‘Easy VPN Remote’ wirklich sehr einfach die Internet-Verbindung herstellen: NAT/PAT funktioniert auch gleich OOTB. Wer das Setup auf der Kommandozeile bevorzugt: vpnclient server 10.0.0.1 vpnclient mode client-mode vpnclient […]

To work around a fscking annoying behaviour of MS Office 2007 regarding files on network shares you might want to use something like the following inside your smb.conf: create mask = 0660 force create mode = 0660 directory mask = 0770 directory security mask = 0777 security mask = 0660 force security mode = 0660 […]

Pfuhhhh, das zieht ja größere Kreise als erwartet. Ok, dann verlier ich auch mal hier ein paar Worte dazu. Eines unserer langfristigen Ziele bei grml war es seit jeher, dass wir unseren Buildprozess einmal vollautomatisch hinbekommen. Warum? Weil das viele Vorteile mit sich bringt, u.a.: der Truck Factor innerhalb des Teams wird niedrig gehalten das […]
