Kubuntu keypad does not work

I’ve an ACER Aspire laptop, but I usually use it with an external keyboard and mouse. However sometimes I need to use its builtin keyboard, and I had having problems with numeric keypad in Kubuntu for a long time. Now I’ve found the solution:
shift+ctrl+numlock
With that, the function “keyboard cursors” -that I think is for [...]

Solving iwl3945 driver problems on Kubuntu 9.04 without kernel upgrade

As I told in previous entry, I should downgrade to kubuntu 9.04 after an upgrade to 9.10 due several problems with nvidia drivers. Although one thing that I’ve found better in 9.10 than in 9.04 was the iwl3945 driver for my wifi hardware. In 9.04 the driver is flawly and gives a lot of problems, [...]

Install new locales on Ubuntu

I’ve spent sometime trying to figure out how to install a locale that I need on one of my servers that runs Ubuntu 8.x. I try to find which package owns the needed file on my laptop that runs kubuntu, but it seems that the file ar not owned by no package.
After googling a bit [...]

One thing that really sucks on rdiff-backup

I’ve been using rdiff-backup for sometime for my own projects, and I’m actually very happy with the way it works with incremental backups of three of my servers and two desktop computers. But there’s a thing that really sucks: when a connection to a remote host fails, next time it will try to regress all [...]

Cut a clip from a flash flv file on linux

I’ve spent sometime trying to cut a flv flash video file on my kubuntu. I’ve tried with mencoder and ffmpeg without success, having problems with audio syncronization and things like that.
I just did an apt-cache search flv on my kubuntu and I’ve found the answer to my problem: flvtool2
It’s very easy to use for my [...]

Sudo without password problems on kubuntu?

I needed an account that have the ability to get root privileges for running certain scripts without requesting for a password -it’s an unatended process-, so as you know the best way to do this on GNU/LiNUX is “sudo” command. To set up this, on kubuntu -and other ubuntu variants, and surely other distributions- there’s [...]

Eclipse, XDebug, Apache and a Segmentation Fault

Or an alternative title: “Be very careful when you cut and paste from web pages”.
I’m a bit tired of doing var_dump debug on PHP, as today I debug lot of PHP lines every day and use complexer architectures as Joomla! CMS than simpler LAMP, I need to set up Eclipse to work with XDebug [...]

Undelete files of a fat32 fs from GNU/Linux

Most usb mass storage media devices, including digital cameras, use a FAT32 filesystem to store its data. That’s mean that even when you just use GNU/Linux filesystems like ext2 or ext3 in your system, if you have an USB pendrive, camera, etc. you’ll be using also FAT32 filesystem within those devices.
I’ve a Nikon D60 but [...]

D-Link DSL-G624T and LinkedIn.com

I bought a router D-Link DSL-G624T about a year ago. I was satisfied with the results and its configuration options, but at the end of last week its WiFi interface started to fail. Before I send it to the seller for repairing, I did a last hour test and it was working fine It’s [...]

Apache redirect from HTTP to HTTPS (SSL) on same server

I want to redirect an HTTP connection to HTTPS on same server, to avoid wrong access through HTTP to some information that I dont want to be public, like awstats or services that I want to be secure like phpmyadmin.
The first thing that one thinks seems weird at first view, using mod_alias Redirect directive:

Redirect [...]
