Enabling REISUB on Fedora 16
REISUB did not work all these days on Fedora 16 because it was not enabled. UGH. See if it is enabled with cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq It will give you either 0 or 1. If it is 0, enable it with: sudo su (enter password) …

Fedora 16 "Oopses"
What irony. Just as I was trying to respond to e:uncutsaniflush about how he likes Fedora 16, my system froze up completely. First the mouse was still moving across the screen but I was unable to click anything. Then ev…

I'm quite fond of Fedora 16
FWIW, I think it is better than Fedora 15. It's better for music production than Ubuntu Studio. Everything works. But, of course, I'm not trying to use R like my wee e:sisteryn.

Documenting crash One. Fedora 16
I just had the first of my crashes today on Fedora 16. Nothing like a good crash to rile you up for the day. I lost around 20 lines of R code. UGH. I am always on Chrome when these crashes occur. Something about some ch…

Start up time to where I can actually use the GUI is 2min 38s 290ms 218us. [quote] Startup finished in 5s 585ms 600us (kernel) + 5s 8ms 313us (initrd) + 2min 27s 696ms 305us (userspace) = 2min 38s 290ms 218us. [/quote] …

Okular and KDE Gloss
Internal PDF links are not working in Evince. I don't know why. Maybe they never really worked ever and I only thought they did. I am reading a heavily cross-referenced long book chapter and it is extremely painful to n…

Making sense of /var/log/messages
If there is one thing that error messages in /var/log/messages are really good for it is for regular expressions practice. I think I am getting better at regex by using the regex tool in geany to sort out and condense t…

Installing ARandR on Fedora 16
Fedora's inbuilt display management GUI has no way of turning the primary laptop monitor off and use the secondary external monitor as the ONLY display. {BOO! I hate you fedora 16. I. hate. you.} So I installed ARandR, …

Very verbose lspci
While installing Fedora 16, it asks if it can send your hardware profile through to the mothership. I always say yes. It can't hurt can it? It helps the developers see how wide of a hardware base they need to be compati…

djvu files in Fedora
Evince has djvu file support but just not in Fedora, at least by default. You need the evince-djvu module to make Evince launch djvu files: sudo yum install evince-djvu

Oh no! Something has gone wrong
You have to hand it to the Gnome3 folks. At least the message looks crisp and smart. Even though what followed was an undeniably ungraceful crash.

All the pretty horses

Undo any last action in Linux?
Sometimes, I accidentally move files into folders. However, I am uncertain what files I moved (because I wasn't paying attention when my stylus accidentally dragged and dropped that file into some nearby folder). So I k…

Display Full Directory Location in Nautilus

Cloud-backup of files on Linux.
I tried dropbox sometime back for many months. I didn't quite like it because I felt like I couldn't control many aspects. In addition, I ended up deleting many of my files due to some stupid settings confusion. I bet t…

Zim - Invading my desktop!
I am finding Zim (the desktop wiki-like note-taking software) SO useful for random on-the-fly notetaking! Zim is like a wiki, todo checklist, notebook, LaTeX scratchpad all rolled into one! I think I like the todo check…
