I’ve been there before, but somehow I hoped that HP has come to its senses, so when my girlfriend got a HP Compaq 6715b laptop with a Broadcom wifi card that does not work with the open source driver and randomly crashes under load with ndiswrapper driver, I said – “well, I’ll just get an [...]

I have this USB hard drive enclosure that can also share the files on the local network (LAN DRIVE HD9-U2LA, vendor id – 05e3:0702). Due to that it has an operating system and some other software inside. Unfortunately this software is rather slow to start and that cause the following kernel error when trying to [...]
I can’t believe I have not bogged about this before. With all that terrorism threat bullshit, wouldn’t it be nice if there was an airline that would declare itself to be ‘terrorist friendly’ – i.e. all passangers are welcome to come on board with just a simple identity check, no security check, no baggage security [...]
If you are playing World of Warcraft on a Debian or Ubuntu system with newest Wine packages from WineHQ, then you might run into a problem – WoW-2.1.2.6803-to-2.1.3.6898-enUS-patch.exe files will crash on Wine 0.9.40 with some nastygrams sent in the direction of its mshtml implementation. Downgrade to 0.9.33 (like the version in feisty) and the [...]

If you have a hard drive with two or more logical partitions in one extended partition and then proceed to erase the first of those logical partitions (in GParted), then you will soon discover that the number of the second logical partition changed (from sda6 to sda5 in my case). If you then try to [...]

A small idea for increasing the performance of peer-to-peer communications for highly popular files. Imagine a BitTorrent file that becomes popular overnight. There are thousands of clients trying to download it, so for each client there are thousands of possible source to get the file from. However, one client can only connect to a small [...]
A though came to my mind just now – the method of copying text around by just selecting it to copy and using middle-click to paste it. So I wonder, why could one not apply the same for file operations in Nautilus? I would love to just select and middle click to copy files and [...]
If you thought that sticking a supported miniPCI wireless card into a HP nx6110 notebook and getting it to work is trivial or fast or well documented, then you are quite wrong! Let me walk people trough the misery here… So you have you great HP nx6110 notebook with some kind of Linux installed. For [...]
