Hover and Images in Tag Popups
June 25th, 2010 :: Permalink :: Trackback

It is possible to add images to popups generated for tags, e.g. for links. Just hover over the “wordpress” category listed on the right.

What you need to do is to partially HTML encode your, well, HTML.

In order to display the image as shown in the category, enter this in the category’s description.

<img src=\"images/powered/wordpress\" />

Be sure to amend the image path to your setup/image.

xbacklight, squeeze and my NC10
March 1st, 2010 :: Permalink :: Trackback

I recently updated my NC10 from lenny to squeeze. After that xbacklight stopped working:

$ xbacklight -set 50
No outputs have backlight property

Looks like the solution is to upgrade to the latest BIOS (11CA, available from samsungpc.com).

I created a FreeDOS USB stick with information available from Smörgåsbord and fdos.org, copied the BIOS to it, bootet from the stick and successfully flashed my NC10.

Now xbacklight works again.

Lenny NetworkManager Patch
October 31st, 2009 :: Permalink :: Trackback

NetworkManager in Lenny writes it’s PID to /etc/resolv.conf:

### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   2869
#
### END INFO

This leads to etckeeper displaying a change every reboot:

This patch to the debian package stops NetworkManager from writing the INFO block to /etc/resolv.conf.

Alternatively, there is a backports package for lenny with an updated version of NetworkManager.
