If you are a regular user of Zenity, you might have noticed an annoying behaviour in Ubuntu Intrepid. This is my problem symptom: I have a bash script, which mount NFS. This script make use of Zenity to present graphical dialogboxes to get the user’s confirmation to mount or unmount. I created a launcher icon [...]
Part 3 chronicles my second attempt to build iplist on the Debian NSLU2. It continued from where part 2 left off.
In this second attempt, I was still using the official packages from the main repository. However, I applied the suggested patch mentioned in Debian Bug report logs – #466645.
The bad habit of up-sizing, over-sizing and super-sizing continued to make inroads in Singapore, no thanks to MacDonalds. Two recent additions to their menu here made me do double takes, literally.

It was Sunday evening, I was about to sit down for some entertainment. I have my Ubuntu PC connected to the large screen TV as a second display, and the sound piped through the optical SPDIF output to a 5.1 channel sound system. I turned on the TV and sound system. And I fired up [...]
There was something strange about SPDIF (a.k.a. IEC958) support in Ubuntu. This past Sunday, I was grappling with a visit from another nasty Gremlin (will post the full story another day). It all started while trying to fix an annoying problem with the SPDIF. Actually, I discovered later the problem turned out to be unrelated [...]
My last post about the Linksys NSLU2 was 3 months ago. I have almost everything prepared for “Debian NSLU2 post-install part 2″, but real world intruded. I lost my job due to “corporate restructuring”, and everything else seemed more urgent. A month went by, then two months. After three months of being jobless, and now [...]
