daily / Cafuego versus KDE

This 'everything must be tweakable, and users will hate if if they can't click here and tweak it to make it do something different' mentality of KDE is a disease. I don't use KDE, because in striving to be configurable, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do.

KDE people seem to think that you always want to tweak every single setting. Not true.

Why the hell do you have to have right click menus and on-hover hilights everywhere? I *know* what I want. I *know* KDE doesn't support it. How do I know? I've used it.

I personally just encourage people to switch to Gnome.

</sarcasm>

Honestly, just don't use it if you don't like it. Jumping up and down and yelling is really not doing anyone any favours.

daily / free?

FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'paravirt_ops'

And with that joyful message I turn out to not be free to run whatever I want on Linux. Fortunately the kernel is GPL, so with a small patch to remove this dumb restriction on paravirt_ops, NVidia can be made to compile again.

2.6.20-paravirt-nvidia.patch

daily / annex m

So, now I have ADSL2+ with Annex M. It's fast. Really fast. Shiny.

When combined with advice on some apache modules from a very nice person on #linux.conf.au this afternoon, that means I can properly host a web site on my home workstation (which lives behind a NAT firewall) now. Yay.

daily / debian

I'm just wondering what to do with myself whilst waiting for the disc printer and swapping discs in and out of it, so why not blog?

Last week I sorta volunteered to help out with the Debian booth during the Open Day at linux.conf.au 2007 next week. There is going to be a prize draw and I reckoned it might be nice to give a way a few Debian sarge DVD sets.

I've done 5 sets today (I wanted to do more but spent a few hours battling a clients' SCO 5 box) so they'll come with me.

The labels are real easy to make using  the Debian Media Label Generator, which spits out a customised PDF.

I do have to admit that in order to demo Debian at the open day, I've had to actually install it on my laptop again earlier in the week. It now dual boots Ubuntu Edgy and Debian Etch (with Xen, to stay with the common blogging theme this month ;-). One runs Gnome, the other KDE.

Note to self: print a couple of A4 Debian swirls.
