rolfs.no: Experiencing weblogging

I was looking at why my ssh -vvv was giving me some errors and made me wait for some extra seconds when tried to ssh to other machines.

Configuration file does not specify default realm

A parameter was malformed
Validation error

All-in-One Gestures (firefox plugin) makes firefox feel more like Opera.

And it is very customizable. Look at the settings:

I got this error message from several kde programs in tried to start them. Something had stopped working in my gnome-session. I tested with creating a new user on my system, and it worked as it should for the new user.

The programs suppose to attach them to the menubar, but they did not do that for my user when klauncher was not started. They started up as small icons (Se image to the right).

After reading about that VirtualBox beeing better than VMWare in Its a Virtual World, I decided to give it a try. I also found out that I could convert VMWare images to the VirtualBox format for those who want to continue using their already created virtual machine.

$ cd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/
$ sudo apt-get install qemu
$ wget http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/vditool
$ chmod u+x vditool
 
$ cd WinXPpro/
$ qemu-img convert WinXPpro.vmdk WinXPpro.raw
$ nice -n 19 ../vditool DD WinXPpro.vdi WinXPpro.raw

For me, I noticed that virtualbox is much faster than a vmware running on my laptop.

I’m a little suprised by how much memory my xmms was able to use when I tuned into to a stream for some hours.
