fstab demystified how to add partitions and more

Posted by Berry van der Linden in Beginners, Kubuntu on Aug 30th, 2008 | 0 comments

In this post you will learn to understand fstab and it’s entries. This post is a follow up to: How to partition new hard drives the easy way. It will show you how to add the new partitions of the new hard drive to fstab to mount the partitions automatically on boot.

Unfortunately there is no way to do this in a “point and click” manner. At least I’ve not been able to find one.

Wireless with wpasupplicant easier then you think

Posted by Berry van der Linden in Kubuntu on Aug 29th, 2008 | 13 comments

Revised on: 11-16-2008 Changed wpa-driver to wext. Now also working with Kubuntu 8.10 i686 kernel 2.6.27-7-generic

Revised on: 09-01-2008 Now working with Kubuntu 8.04.1 i686 kernel 2.6.24-19-generic and Kubuntu 8.04 x86-64 kernel 2.6.24-19-generic.

Why use wpasupplicant? KNetworkManager works just fine. Yes KNetworkManager is fine but the pass phrase is stored in Kwallet and this means every time you want the network to connect you will have to put in your Kwallet password. Also if you for some reason need wireless to be up without starting the desktop environment you will need wpasupplicant because you will not be able to open up Kwallet in a terminal environment. Wpasupplicant will give you wireless all the time without having to use Kwallet.

As always the methods used here are tested by me and working on my boxes(we have 3 boxes with wireless through wpasupplicant).

Maximum number of clients reached.

I’ve been getting this error lately “Maximum number of clients reached”. After doing some research if found out it was a swap problem. The UUID of the swap partition was wrong thus there was no swap to be used. This caused the “Maximum number of clients reached” error.

To fix this you can do two things.

Autisme

Posted by Berry van der Linden in Hyves on Aug 25th, 2008 | 0 comments

Ik zat gisteren deze video over autisme op KQED Quest te kijken.

Het blijkt dat autisme veroorzaakt zou kunnen worden door niet alleen erfelijke factoren maar ook b.v door de leef omgeving. Ze denken in dit geval dat de leef omstandigheden van de moeder die zwanger met het autistische kind er ook mee te maken kan hebben. Klik op de link en bekijk de video en geef je mening…

BBQ toast.

Posted by Berry van der Linden in Hyves on Aug 24th, 2008 | 0 comments

Ja BBQ toast. Toen ik in 2005 voor het eerst hier kwam was er zo’n oud beetje smoezelige brood tooster. Ik heb die er eigenlijk meteen uit gegooid, en sinds dien hebben we geen tooster meer. Van de week had ik zin in een gebruinde boterham met jam(ja ik weet ik ben op dieet lol) en toen kwam ik op het idee om terwijl ik vlees aan het BBQ-en ben om wat brood op de BBQ te gooien.

Dit werkt perfect en we kunnen zelfs het brood twee of drie dagen laten liggen zonder dat het weer slap of veelte hard wordt.
