I followed the really simple guide posted by my VPS hoster for upgrading my VPS to Ubuntu Lucid. It took quite a while to run, but after adding a single row to /etc/fstab it restarted without problems! Seriously, I didn’t change a single thing and everything “just worked”.. That’s how it’s supposed to be! Now [...]

I’ve been working on a little project to view photos and videos from a mobile browser using Zend Framework. I’ve gotten so far as to generate a little gallery with real-time thumbnailing and pagination which shows the image at (once again real-time resized) a resolution commonly used by mobiles. Now the next step is being [...]

I’ve been living with this problem for quite some time now and today I had some time left over at work so I figured I’d have a look into it again. I’ve tried a few different settings from the Ubuntu wiki but they always resulted in the same tinny sound. My colleague who sits in [...]

I had previously been running Ubuntu Jaunty and decided to do a fresh install of Karmic on my work machine (a 20″ iMac). I waited this long to make the jump because I still saw a lot of updates coming in every day on my machines at home, so I figured it would be better [...]

I recently convinced my girlfriend to switch to Ubuntu instead of XP because her laptop had been infected a few times in the past. Installation went smoothly on her laptop, however it would not boot up because Grub2 was complaining about not finding the kernel and mentioned the UUID. After a lot of searching & [...]

Just to let everyone know: Karmic is out of beta and released officially! Get out your party hats and get installing! Ok, maybe you won’t be able to install so quickly because a lot of mirrors are completely swamped. My tip is to use torrents instead, the more people use them the faster it gets, [...]

Just something I discovered by accident I really screwed up yesterday and managed to delete my whole /etc dir, thus I had to reinstall because things were “slightly” messed up with the system after that! I downloaded a daily alternative installation of Karmic because I didn’t want to install from the official beta release iso [...]

Being my first review here I would like everyone to keep this in mind, it might not be up to the quality you are used to from other sites Installation Since there are so many sites posting screenshots of the whole installation process I will not go into so much detail. I will stick to [...]

Just a quick reminder for myself, this happened to me in other distro’s & releases as well but I seem to forget about it.. The problem is my home server has both PATA and SATA and I have installed Ubuntu Karmic on the PATA drive (secondary PATA master) and somehow GRUB and GRUB2 have problems [...]
