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.

But all I got is a blank screen and… Continue reading Black Screen After Ubuntu 12.10 Installation Foo
Ubuntu 12.10 Upgrade, LVM and RAID Foo
And here we go again. It was about time to update my server to the latest Ubuntu. Everything seemed fine and the installation went its usual way. Beforehand I made sure that I new what partition will be what and what data on what partition is worth keeping.
