I always hated closed source drivers, and ATI is one of the big guy in video card. There is a petition online to ask ATI for specification or better drivers. I sign it because my ATI 9100IGP doesn’t have TVout support right now..
Je viens d’écouter la Session d’Expérience sur France Inter. Et whoa .. j’aimais bien les paroles de Diabologum mais là.. Le sound a pris un petit coup de HipHop .. et whao pas mal du tout. Je vous conseille tout particulièrement ‘Ils sont devenus fous’ (à 64min)
Last night, while listenning a web-radio.. I heard a old (really old) song. Hum heavy metal. I don’t usually listen to this stuff .. But i know this one, i spent part of the night to find what is this song ..
And i found it ! Motorhead / OverKill . Oh my god ! Why i’m listening to this craps ? Perhaps i want to get it back to me !! :)
This is quite easy, but the doc is too old.. so:
Ok after the parrot challenge, perl coders loose.. so they receive the pie. 2 in fact :)
By default Debian install Lilo on i386 arch. I really like lilo, but after a couple of broken config file and severall other hitch. I decided to install grub. Grub is a bit hard if you never install it before. But mainly because the apt-get install grub doesn’t install a default file. So
apt-get install grub grub-install /dev/hdXX #where to put the bootloader
Now you can reboot. But to have a nice menu edit a file /boot/grub/menu.lst like that:
default=0 timeout=5 boot=/dev/hda title Linux-2.6.7 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/hda2 vga=791 ro title Debian-2.4 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-1-686-smp ro root=/dev/hda2 initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.26-1-686-smp title Memtest root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
Note: My boot is hda2 (hd0,1) second partition of the first disk
The thing every blogger likes: Comments ? No ? Really ?
Anyways, i just added a RSS comment Feed to this blog. (No I won’t put the url somewhere since NewsAggregators eat a bunch of bandwith only to see nobody post, i will only give it to friends .. :)
But, this is not the main stuff, while browsing this RSS feed i discover one interesting comment about Mutt and IMAP cache. I now use courier-cone (no-url-yet) and it pretty cool and happy w/ IMAP. I like the IMAP Adressbook system which is really pleasant to use. Anyway check out this post if you want to test the new imap cache for mutt, and thanks Glanzmann for the post :)
For lazy readers the patch is here
While building a custom host for the current project, i need to play with 2 computers, but my desk is to small (or full) to have 2 keyboards etc etc. I remember that i ever see this kind of stuff on gcu-squad.org. After a little search, i get it. The name is synergy. It works really fine on X11, but should work on Win32 too.
This is really a great tool, if you have a bunch of screen laying around
While browsing for a old post on this blog, i discover that google put a funky ads on the page ‘IraqBlog.com domain for sale’. This sound strange no ? Is there any blogger around how want to buy this ?
– Wait a bit i guess Google will put this ads on this page too :) That’s incontext-advertising
As nobody notice that, the new apt-proxy use python (not perl as the old one). This is really a good news because i love Python and the new apt-proxy has some better performance than the oldest perlish one. The key value here is the Twisted Matrix framework, now apt-proxy can download multiple .deb at the time without a bunch of process or other weakness. This is a great new for debian users but specially for twisted developper because i think it’s the first end-user app that use twisted (not speaking about webserver of other developpers geeky stuffs).
– Nobody for a twisted bittorrent server ? This would save a bunch of CPU cycles too !
