Looking at opensource desktop - part 1

By dgtlmoon - Posted on 03 May 2008

I've been involved with Linux since around the 2.0.2x series kernels in around November 1996. Admittedly I was of pure hacker-mentality had no real idea of what it would take to run a business that depended on the desktop to perform it's duties, such as printing, saving, loading/retrieving, web-browsing, network file system connectivity. I was just happy to be able todo interesting stuff with my TCP stack and write my own software without having to fork-out big dollars for the experience.

minor glitch installing mysql 5 on lenny

By dgtlmoon - Posted on 14 April 2008

Looks like the mysql system tables were missing on my fresh install of Debian Lenny on my Acer Aspire 5520 laptop.

just run mysql_install_db , after this you'll need to get your mysql debian credentials back in line, these are usually stored under /etc/mysql/ (this is so mysqladmin etc will work again)


/usr/bin/mysql_install_db
WARNING: The host 'nine' could not be looked up with resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work

Linux and the Nokia N93i (S60 series 3)

By dgtlmoon - Posted on 08 March 2007

Got myself a shiny new Nokia N93i, although i was originally looking for the N91, apparently the N91's are hard to find and a new phone was required!

This machine, although bulky, and people wonder why i want a mirror (one side of it is very shiny) is cool, it has excellent WiFi capabilities - it will scan for local wifi and give you a list of what it can get onto, and then use the network you choose (3g, wifi etc) todo anything internet related.
