My friend Dominique Cimafranca has been using Ubuntu for quite some time now and he’s been blogging about his experiences and newbie tips on Ubuntu Living. He’s been quite a staunch advocate of Linux ever since I met him in 2004/2005. And for me, he’s such an awesome teacher too because he’s teaching students about operating systems, especially Linux. So he’s got this way of writing that makes it easy for people to relate with his experiences too.
Well, most things have been nice and shiny with Dom and Ubuntu. But not with Karmic Koala. He experienced kernel panic – not synching. His search for an answer led him to the ubuntuforums with this issue posted three weeks ago: Wubi – Kernel Panic – Not Synching – VFS…. Another place where this showed up is in Launchpad: Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic – not synching: VFS.

When I was at camp, we had this activity called speed geeking and there were people who showcased their projects or the applications that they used for their projects. Ruth Marya showed us what Snort SMS Alert System is capable of. : )
Snort SMS Alert System is a tool which informs you of attacks or other suspicious activity in your server. For those who are system administrators, this could be a great tool. After all, even if you work practically round the clock (as if you are doctors) you can never tell when a situation might occur. However, this is what Snort SMS Alert System will help you out with.
I really liked what Ruth shared with us during the speed geeking session. It was a brief introduction to Snort SMS Alert System and how beneficial it is for web server admins. She also shared [...]

Looking for open source events to participate in? If you’re a part of an open source community, then I am sure that it becomes easier for you to join in. For one thing, a community already would have ways to encourage face to face meet-ups and activities. However, not everyone is part of a local community yet or it is possible that some communities that you are part of are mainly online because of the geographic issues.
Here’s what I tend to do:
Look out for blogs that talk about open source especially in the context of my locale or region. There are quite a number of local bloggers and they have something to share about their experiences in the free and open source community. And they also share what they do or what theu plan to do. Whether it’s a release party or some kind [...]

Ok, so I am back posting on Twitter and I’ve been looking for a desktop client since Pidgin isn’t quite working for me now and I am using Empathy. That means no Twitter plugin for me. And as much as I love Emacs, twittering-el doesn’t quite cut it for me. And I am not liking Gwibber much either. It’s too clunky for me.
So what can I do? Searching for another Twitter client, of course. I’d love a better way of getting updated rather than going to my browser and checking it every so often.
mitter - a simple twitter client
Thankfully BrightHubLinux posted on Twitter about Mitter. It looked like an interesting application which could be used regardless of the desktop environment you’re using. But there’s no deb for Mitter. You’d have to download it from its Git repository or from the [...]

A Dell employee has gotten Chromium OS, the code behind Chrome OS that Google released to open source, to run on a Dell Mini 10v netbook. The fact that a Dell programmer tinkered with the code and passed on his findings to others is a sign of how liberating and rich open source can prove, as well as how Chrome OS is piquing curiosity. Still, some experts see Chrome OS as being five to 10 years away from mass adoption in consumers and enterprises, respectively. The world is, after all, still propelled by Windows. Read how to get Chrome OS running on a Dell Mini below… -
Google Chrome Operating System might be officially a year
away from appearing in netbooks as a polished platform, but that shouldn’t stop
some users itching to try it out in their machines today.

I’ve been using an older laptop and I recently just installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala on it. By default, one of the applications I could use for transferring files via FTP is Nautilus. I like Nautilus as a file manager and stuff. It’s really nifty. And quite simple to use.
You could go to your panel and select “Places” then “Connect to Server” for you to connect to your FTP server. Then a dialog box will pop up asking you for the following information:
Service type – whether it’s Public FTP, FTP with login, etc.
Server – What is your ftp server’s URL?
Port
Folder
Add bookmark and Bookmark name — this is mainly for your usage on your computer. This is basically what you will see in Nautilus/file manager.
When you click “Connect” that’s the time you will have to enter a password if it’s necessary. Then you should be [...]
