new popular distribution that is rpm based: mageia

Maybe it has been around for a while, who knows. But maybe it deserves a test run:

Linux

On device debugging

Never works the first time using some microcontroller. How hard Can it be to make it work as intended? Should'nt be hard at all to use such a simple feature.
If the tools were for linux I bet it would work...

Edit: also having enough power in the usb ports is a Good thing.. cheap screen manufacturers.

Color diablo 3 linux nvidia

Sound and Video, Linux

Running diablo 3 in linux mint using my previously stated solution apparently revealed a color glitch. Too much red in the login screen for example. This is odd because the same setup works good with wow. And the games both come from blizzard...
Solution will be posted here when I find one.

Corsair ssd.

I have had 2. One completely broke in my laptop. One has a lot of read errors in my stationary computer.
I have also heard about others having similiar experiences.
I think I am going Intel on this one.



Linux

So, apparently blogging on the phone...

...needs a special app. But it seems to work ok. But the dictionary of my phone is another story, it keeps changing english words to Swedish.

msn in fedora 17

Browsing help for Fedora in general.

To use msn in fedora 17 you need to use emesene: http://blog.emesene.org/.

64bit package is available for example here: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/x86_64/e/emesene-2.11.11-3.fc17.noarch.html

Linux distributions and their features

Eclipse refresh problem

Is refreshing-issues a major problem when developing in eclipse in general? I'm starting to think so.

One refresh problem is when you make a plugin to eclipse. Then you need to make a feature project, and a site project to hold the feature, that can be added as a repository in the eclipse environment. When this site is updated it sometimes at the client fails to refresh. This is very annoying during development, and I can't see that it should be hard to fix.

How to install chrome (chromium) in Fedora 17

Here it is, if you should have problems finding the correct link:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium

You can also install Chrome, but that would just not give anything extra from what I know.

Mapping linux distributions to car manufacturers, part one.

Fedora corresponds to BMW. Why?
There are no solutions if they aren't perfect.
The rear-wheel drive gives the best road feel. The cars in general are besides of the road feel built for to give the driver the best feeling of grip and road conditions.
Fedora gives the user control of the operating system without having to build it yourself, everything is where it is supposed to be, and the solutions are always the "correct" ones.

Ubuntu would be like (in sweden) a Volvo. It's boring and it can be thought of as almost as good as a BMW if you haven't owned one. However it lacks the perfection from Fedora, and you loose a lot of road feel, which corresponds to that understanding of the operating system can be rather tricky, since rather than making kernel patch solutions there can be an endless number of scripts from my experience. Cheaper to buy as in requires less time to configure compared to Fedora.

Mint is the Volkswagen. A simple car with standard solutions, actually it is pretty good and requires not so much attention. However it is based on the same platform-techniques as Volvo with fwd and perpendicularly mounted engines in mind (Mint is based on Ubuntu), so it can never reach to the perfection in driving feel that a BMW has. This one also requires less time than Fedora, but isn't trying to be bleeding edge on anything at all, Volvo at least has a lead on safety systems and hybrids!

Last I would have to say that Debian is the Audi. It is probably in general more stable on the road than Volkswagen or Volvo since they usually don't have perpendicularly mounted engines (other than Audi TT or A/S3 I think). It may be more practical than Fedora, but fedora is still the most perfect distribution.

Do you realize how stable everything would be if all developers developed like the fedora ones?

Fedora 17 final release is coming up!

I have to try it out on my laptop, there will be bcm4313 guides here in a while I guess.
They mostly don't include it in the distribution.
Also I will post a SSD installation guide.

Most of the fedora 16 tricks should work, I will test it later but look here if you are in a hurry:

SSD in mint

A coulpe of weeks ago I installed a SSD harddrive in my laptop, with Linux Mint on it. Suddenly it just wouldn't suspend when I closed the lid. And then it didn't work anymore.
Thank you dropbox for saving my data. But still, this is my second suspend-disaster with linux on laptops. From now on, I will disable suspend when using linux on my laptop.
Here is how to do it in Linux Mint, it is the same as in ubuntu:
