Read moreFixing libvdpau nvidia patch for Opera
Fix for well known libvdpau bug with libflashplayer is nice, but it has once severe problem. Patch is designed wrong, so it won’t work with opera. Problem with patch is that it tries to look for string ”libflashplayer” in ”/proc/self/cmdline”. Assumption that such string would exist in cmdline is very poor, and it won’t with…
Read moreConfusion of Start -menu
If there is one thing what I really disaliked on M$windows vista/7 is the Start -menu. That concept was truly awful concept. In that respect, I liked new style start screen in Windows 8.

For third time, I did full reinstall of EEEPC 900. And this time I decided to try . After very long installation, and post cleanup system seems to work rather fine. Post cleanup naturally involved throwing away gnome stuff and firefox, after installing some better browser like opera. And for text editor, of course, lightweight…
Read moresystemd and systemctl
Well, have to admit that I’m not impressed by initial experience with these. Sure, systemd seemingly allows that login dialog to desktop comes up fast. But what’s the point, since while doing so, system is not started up properly. For example, in my case, in all wiseness system decides, that bringing up only ”lo” and…
Read moreVMWare 2.0.2 stinks big time
Web UI, which barely works at all, no console at all to vmware images, since web UI is so badly broken. So it stinks badly. Oh yeah, and propably plugin wouldn’t work anyway, so who cares. Vmware 1.0.x with its’ own separate management UI/console was few million light years better product. Needless to say, time…
