Installing Google Chrome on a Debian based distribution is actually pretty nice and easy… if you know how. So lets get started. In the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ create a file called google-chrome.list. Make sure that he extension is .list. The content of the file should be this: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main After running apt-get update you… Continue reading Google Chrome With APT On Ubuntu Foo

More Ubuntu Annoyances, Like Focus-Follows-Mouse… Foo
I don’t know how anybody can work with focus on click. It is just a waste of time and energy. So it is really annoying to me that focus on click is always the default. And Unity has the same lack of configuration option as Gnome. You can’t switch the mouse focus mode with the… Continue reading More Ubuntu Annoyances, Like Focus-Follows-Mouse… Foo
Adobe Acrobat Reader in Ubuntu 13.10 Foo
I guess more or less every Linux user has noticed that the official Adobe Acrobat Reader version is out of date and that Adobe has no intention to update it. So you are stuck with version 9.5.5, which is mostly okay especially when you need some features that are only available in the official reader.… Continue reading Adobe Acrobat Reader in Ubuntu 13.10 Foo
Picasa Web Album Download Foo
I must admit, I don’t use Picasa. I actually don’t like all these image organization and album programs. But somebody shared a Picasa Web Album with me that had some really nice pictures of my niece’s wedding. These were nice pictures and I wanted them on my machine. So, lets get on it and download… Continue reading Picasa Web Album Download Foo

After I finally updated Owncloud to version 6.0.0a, I could test the compatibility of my CloudPress “patch” with that release. And I can announce that CloudPress is Owncloud 6 compatible.
Netgear PS121v2 Print Server Linux Foo
It is always fun to re-activate some old hardware. We had this HP laser printer sitting there with a Netgear PS121 (v2!) and it was just begging me to use it. So I thought, that is a quick and easy set up. Well it would’ve been if it didn’t have some nice surprises for me.… Continue reading Netgear PS121v2 Print Server Linux Foo
Ubuntu Sleep Foo Resolved… Finally…
The deed is done! Finally! If you don’t know what I am talking about, please read here, here and here. I finally had the time to get down and dirty (literally!) and change the power supply. Well, the old one died on me and I had to replace it. Now the old 650W rests in… Continue reading Ubuntu Sleep Foo Resolved… Finally…
Harddisk Foo
I had my fair share of harddisk failures in the past and last night I got hit again. If anybody had problems accessing my site, then please accept my apologies. One of the hard drives in my server failed, which in itself is covered by the software RAID. But for an unknown reason the MySQL… Continue reading Harddisk Foo
Windows Keyboard Typing Consecutive Numbers Foo
This Windows Foo showed it’s ugly head today for the first time and I was simply flabbergasted. Whatever I typed, only the first letter appeared correctly and from there on the system was showing consecutive numbers. Something like this for good ol’ hello world: H2345678901 It happened first in a Java application so, I suspected… Continue reading Windows Keyboard Typing Consecutive Numbers Foo
