  • Installed wheezy on partition 0 of the HD502HJ_2 disk in the mew ESATA enclosure. The d-i fails when it still cannot find grub-pc and then hangs on setting the clock: rtc module not found = /var/log/11.install. D-i with desktop and utils.
  • That disk is only seen by BIOS if you enable SATA AHCI
  • MC from /sda7/hda10/backup.files/debs64

  • This is the new graph created from sysstat data.
  • Run Linux and install sysstat.
  • The graph has 2 y-axes. The numbers of the axis are a bit confusing because Gpc-qt uses the scales routine to automatically calculate the maxima, but there is a catch ;-)  You have to provide the number of divisions, which of course is difficult to do without knowing the maxima.
  • I could put it on Facebook (TM) but what the heck then 200.000.000 people would see it.
  • A thing to notice is that it shows the breaks when the system was down: at about 10AM and of course that IPL took place at 9:30AM and halt at 3PM.

  • Found the hyperlatex problem with Debian 6.0 amd64: have no emacs23 packages installed!
  • Now Squeeze amd64 = i386 except for the missing Flagship .deb.
  • Found Gpc-qt zoom problem: 'disable_button' call had '9' for 1st parm but only 8 strings...
  • Found do_sysup one month->3dbars problem: disabled call to tkbfillq at bpltw.cpp #464.

This is output of do_test_gpc. Curious bug: when the font is not simplex the color in the last column can't be 376, but 4 is ok....

This is the wordpress output of do_test_gpc of gpc-qt. It looks for ext2 partitions and looks inside of them for a Linux kernel. The red kernel is the current one.

Installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run
2nd from top is the updated wmtemp to work with chip name = atk0110-acpi-0. It uses libsensors4. How cool it would be if you could update these in place from the host... These are Fvwm wharfs...
