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 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…

Read moreExperiences with KDE 4.1
Finally! After long waiting KDE 4.1 was released. After very bad experiences with KDE 4.0, I decided to see what has improved. For whole week I tried to use KDE 4.1 instead of KDE 3.5.9, and conclusion is quick. Conclusion for KDE 4.1: KDE 4.1 is still very slow and unstable. Like snail crawling in…
Read moreFirefox 3 consumes less memory than Opera 9.50
Strange claims has been going around that new that Firefox 3 would consume less memory than Opera 9.50. From historical perspectice claim sounds interesting, since historically Opera has been much more memory efficient than Firefox. Thus lets make a simple test, with slight unfairness into direction of Opera, since it’s my main browser and has…

As we all know, Gnome is braindead system, and nobody in sane state of mind touches it, except with 3 meter long hot stick to beat the beast down. Now, even if you have reached first step of sanity, which means that you haven’t installed it at all. Then still gnome system fails to honor…
Read moreLaughing aloud to KDE 4.0.3
It’s simply dog slow… Just moving mouse in Dolphin, consumes 100% of CPU. And when it’s idling.., then it consumes something between 5% – 30% of CPU. That can be called ridiculously non-performant. Some idiot is seemingly thinking that there isn’t ever any better user for CPU cycles than UI updating. For some strange reason…
