Foxconn deliberately sabotaging their BIOS to destroy Linux ACPI

Foxconn deliberately sabotaging their BIOS to destroy Linux ACPI - Ubuntu Forums

Why linux has a hard time becoming mainstream, fucking companies like Foxonn sucking microdicks cock!!! I've glad to have never chosen any product from them, and I'd like all SG members to know, for those who use linux, never to buy from this fucking company. They are now on digg, slashdot and reddit. Hope they like the internet mob.

mysql data

I wonder if I could just copy all the data from /var/lib/mysql and move it to a different server... its midnight and I'm really sleepy, I will try to salvage everything from the main drive and reinstall on a different partition tomorrow.

Noo!!!!

The main drive that has the OS for the Site Geisha server has just died, tried to reiserfsck it and it just said that it could not recover anymore because it was a hardware problem.

Anyone got any suggestions how to recover stuff out of a reiserfs partition? It has our database and stuff on it :(

CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50

Automatically mounting and unmounting Samba/Windows shares with CIFS - Lone Wolves - Web, game, and open source development

Finally a solution to this annoying shutdown problem, if Ubuntu is to become mainstream this kind of kinks in the system should be ironed out, before they start thinking of another stinking new version!!!

Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 (Revision 1) released

Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 (Revision 1) released

This article was posted on: 12/06/2008

A security issue was fixed in Linux Mint 5 Elyssa. All ISO images were rebuilt and the fix was made available in the repositories.

I've started using Linux Mint for my media center pc and I love it :) Hopefully I'll be able to replace the main server with this one.

CSV File Upload / Download

Since http://csv.el-toro.org/ is now dead, I've decided to setup a CSV file upload / download page for Site Geisha users. Registered users can upload csv's while visitors are free to download them (for now). Not sure yet how much attention this project will get.

The project can be found here http://sitegeisha.no-ip.org/csv/

It's not the PSU..

It seems my motherboard is dead, after 6 years of service it finally gave up, I tested the PSU on another PC and it worked, I tried a working psu on the server and nothing, not even a single bleep. However when I plug in the network cable the ethernet card was lit up. But that could just be the card drawing power from the cable. Anyways without a pc to hookup the sg server to it will be down for some time :( sorry guys.
