For people having Intel graphic chipset under Gnu/Linux, performance using 3D applications or Compiz-* window manager effects has always been a problem. Intel drivers for Xorg never gave problems but have also never been brilliant. I always looked around searching for xorg.conf tuning configuration entries. Today I was simply browsing Ubuntu Wiki and discovered the …

I’ve never been a big fan of rpm-based Gnu/Linux distributions, since I’ve always preferred the stability of Debian and Debian based distros, with their great dpkg system. The problem with Debian on Macbooks is that I do not see both the stability and performance anymore, as I have to use Lenny/Sid. Etch is too old …

I’ve recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.27.7, and I realized that ndiswrapper and the wireless card were not working. So I stumbled on this discussion on the linux-kernel mailing list . A guy named Jeff (write me for complete credits) wrote his personal ndiswrapper-1.54. If you’ve got a 2.6.27.x kernel and you can compile modules, …

Il mio amore/odio verso Archlinux non é un gran segreto, come non lo é neanche il mio pessimo vizio di formattare il portatile ogni 5 secondi per provare nuove distribuzioni Gnu/Linux. Le ho provate quasi tutte, ma quelle che a lungo si sono soffermate nel mio disco rigido sono, in ordine cronologico: Suse Linux Ubuntu …

Archlinux é potenzialmente un’eccellente distribuzione per chiunque non voglia sentirsi troppo ubuntista, in quanto non user-friendly alla windows, ma semplice e user-friendly alla Kiss (leggere questo post sul mio iniziale entusiasmo per Archlinux per saperne di piú). Ha tutte le carte in regola per essere tra le piú diffuse, e nominata insieme alle piú famose …

It may happen that, if you download a Slackware Current iso (which is a non ufficial iso), the boot is set in single user mode.. I downloaded the iso located here: ftp://ftp.slackware.no/pub/[..]/slackware-current-15_May_2007-DVD.iso The boot showed this annoying message: Going to single user mode.. The network was down, too.. quite everything was down.. I looked in …
