This is not needed anymore. Following these instructions might leave you with a non-working install OpenSuSE 11.1 works quite alright on Intel hardware, with one major quirk: 3D rendering is utterly broken. Or rather – it was when it shipped. If you suspect you’ve got this problem, run glxgears from a terminal, and watch the […]

Using OpenSolaris 2008.11 as desktop for one day
I’ve written about OpenSolaris earlier, and I’m impressed. It’s a promising OS, with a few quirks. I decided to use it as desktop OS for a day. First of, it’s Gnome. I prefer KDE, but hey, I take what’s available. It’s not that important really. The first thing I missed was OpenOffice, which should be […]
ExtGPS – godbit for telefoner med GPS.
ExtGPS er eit genialt lite program for dei av oss som har en Symbian-telefon med GPS-mottaker pÃ¥. For kor nyttig hadde det vel ikkje vore Ã¥ kunne bruke GPSen i telefonen til software for pc, via f.eks. bluetooth? Vel, du kan det, med ExtGPS. Og det er gratis. For min del er dette rimelig fint […]
Problem with the links on comments.
Sadly, I had a minor problem with the links from the comments to the targets of those links… WordPress somehow URL-encoded the ‘ rel=’external nofollow’-part into the URL, resulting in something like <a href=’http://example.com/’rel=’external nofollow’>link text</a> which – needless to say – did not really work that well. Turns out the culprit was in comment-template.php […]
Instant Messaging bør nytte opne standarder!
Kvifor lar folk ein levrandør sittje med ansvaret for lynmeldingsløysinga dei bruker, som i tilfellet med Microsoft og MSN? NÃ¥r MS sine servere har tekniske problemer er jo brÃ¥tt ting heilt borte… Det er Single Point of Failure, og ikkje spesielt lurt, spesielt med tanke pÃ¥ kor viktig lynmeldingstenester som MSN er for mange. Kvifor […]
My first impression of OpenSolaris 2008.11
After reading about OpenSolaris in ;Login:, I decided to give it a try, in VMware. Without reading much about it, I simply grabbed an ISO and downloaded. With most Linux distros that work. OpenSolaris is distributed as a Live CD, which has a installer application on the desktop. The NIC came up beautifully under OpenSolaris, […]
VMWare Workstation on openSuSE 11.1
Vmware workstation, fresh out of the box, did not want to run on openSuSE, claiming it could not find any modules: $ vmware Logging to /tmp/vmware-vidarlo/setup-17389.log modinfo: could not find module vmmon modinfo: could not find module vmnet modinfo: could not find module vmblock modinfo: could not find module vmci modinfo: could not find module […]
Plan9/Linux – a new combo…
Plan9 is an OS and a set of userspace tools. They had some rather nice design ideas, like making everything a file, and let users interact with that. The main problem is that Plan9 don’t really run on any usefull hardware – it’s kinda limited in it HW support. To overcome that, Glendix is making […]
Fake backup MX
I have two hosts as MX for the domain bitsex.net – m.juicedhost.net and juicedhost.net. Good practice would be to configure both to act as MX for that domain, but I never got around to configuring the MX with the lowest priority, juicedhost.net, to relay mail for bitsex.net. Maybe as well. Even when the highest priority […]
PHP compile error: Warning: inter-library dependencies are not known to be supported.

Therefore, libtool will create *** a static module, that should work as long as […]
