While trying to update my desktop box, which is still running Quantal, I saw these nice error messages: W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/quantal/free/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/quantal/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/quantal/free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/quantal/non-free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed… Continue reading R.I.P.

Missing modules for paramiko and gio in duplicity foo
Since I upgraded some of my servers to the latest LTS of Ubuntu, I saw nice warning messages in my duplicity backup reports. I know, these are just warnings and no errors, but I don’t like to see any warning in a backup report of mine. Here is a sample: Import of duplicity.backends.giobackend Failed: No… Continue reading Missing modules for paramiko and gio in duplicity foo
Apache Doesn’t Show Protected Folders… Foo
After setting up a nice download area with password protection I ran into an interesting issue. And I don’t know why I haven’t encountered that problem before. It’s not that I never set up Apache configurations or have never heard of mod_auth and mod_autoindex. But now to the problem itself. I had a set up… Continue reading Apache Doesn’t Show Protected Folders… Foo
Eclipse Huge Tab Bar Foo
On my odyssey to find the right desktop environment for me I am back in Gnome land. In its latest incarnation Gnome 3 it looks nice and seems to be actually usable. I still don’t like that they removed more or less all useful configuration options. But finally there are some tools that make up… Continue reading Eclipse Huge Tab Bar Foo
CloudPress Foo
In the wake of all the NSA scandals I finally took the time and created a full blown cloud solution for my family.

In order to integrate everything I used the… Continue reading CloudPress Foo

Black Screen After Ubuntu 12.10 Installation Foo
We are a step further. I changed the partitioning so that the new and bigger core.img of GRUB fits on the disk. I manually selected the boot device because the drive enumeration changed with the new kernel. All is good. The system is installed and boots…. But all I got is a blank screen and… Continue reading Black Screen After Ubuntu 12.10 Installation Foo
Ubuntu Random Sleep Foo
I am really getting frustrated. I ruled out more or less everything. I have no UI connection to the battery in the UPS anymore but still the system goes either randomly to sleep (KDE, Unity, Gnome) or logs out and messes up the X server (XFCE). The interesting thing is that I can distinguish between… Continue reading Ubuntu Random Sleep Foo
UPower And UPS Detection Foo
Since I installed Ubuntu 11.10 I have some strange issues on my desktop machine. I have a UPS from APC which is controlled using the demon and not the GUI tools. Nonetheless my computer went randomly to sleep without any reason.
Games In Just A Couple Of Bytes
Slashdot had a couple of articles on games that are coded in JavaScript in just a couple of lines of codes or even better in just a couple of characters of code. I really like the way how coders go back to the roots and think about what you can do in just a handful… Continue reading Games In Just A Couple Of Bytes
