Sunday, February 21, 2010

People have told me about GNU screen and praised all its glory for a long time, however I never really got it going until now. I guess it might be one of those tools to you grow to use, but after getting the hang of it, I wish I had made the leap much sooner. [...]

Upgrade to Jaunty Jackalope

Sunday, May 3, 2009

Well, I finally upgraded all four systems to Jaunty Jackalope. I did the upgrade in pairs so that the entire network wouldnt be offline. I spread it across two days. I used the tutorial from UbuntuGeek to upgrade via the konsole. It was mostly painless, with my laptop being the most troublesome.  Having to re-configure [...]

Success Upgrading to Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Friday, November 28, 2008

How To Add Programs To Your Startup In KDE

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

I discovered the best way for me to mount my ssh shares via sshfs automatically when I log in. I add shares and folders from time to time, and I also wanted this technology to automatically be backed up for me, so I wanted the solution to lie inside my home folder. I did some [...]

Problems with kdesu via SSH after Hardy Heron Upgrade

Monday, September 15, 2008

I started encountering an error when using kdesu via SSH after Hardy Heron was installed. I’ve since upgraded to 8.04.1 as well and still am running into this bug.

Upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

I have admittedly put it off for way too long. The recent OpenSSL Vulnerability with weak keys prompted me to change that on one of my systems. I was forced to use dist-upgrade when OpenSSL would not update, leaving me to continuously recreating weak keys. While I normally update packages using the command line, I [...]

Updates for KDE4 Reveal Fewer Crashes and The Same Big Problems

Monday, March 24, 2008

There’s been many updates to KDE4, and while spending another day with KDE4 yesterday, I was relieved to find many of the segfaults and KDE crash errors had been resolved. I was disappointed to not be able to find any way of saving my session for KDE4, other than it saving my previous session. I [...]

A day without KDE4

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Having battled with using KDE4 after a easy install in Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, I’ve discovered some of the shortcomings of the new desktop environment. I switched back to a KDE 3.5 session today, and what a relief! I figure I’ll continue to switch back and forth about every other day. This will let me continue [...]
