PHP5.2 for lucid ppa

Fri, 05/21/2010 - 15:30 — txwikinger

Drupal and a lot of community modules do not work yet 100% with PHP 5.3. Therefore, in order to make it easier for any drupal administrators who wish to run the ubuntu lucid server, I have created a ppa that allows easy use of php5.2 packages that have been compiled under lucid: https://edge.launchpad.net/~txwikinger/+archive/php5.2

Rules for pinning this version are provided in the description of the ppa.

Configurations for ssh that make some things more convenient

Tue, 05/18/2010 - 17:32 — txwikinger

I have recently found a couple of really neat configurations that make my life using ssh a lot easier.

I often use ssh on non-standard ports. This is advantageous because of two different reasons. It allows to run multiple virtual machines being directly accessible via one IP address. This can be important because the IPv4 address space is very limited and somehow the jump to IPv6 is very slow.

Problems with lernid under Kubuntu (KDE)

Wed, 05/12/2010 - 14:32 — txwikinger

After some precursory testing and analysis, the problem seems to be gnome-keyring if lernid will not start and crashed with an gnomekeyring IO error (also stating it cannot find the right information for the secrets file).

It seems the most simple workaround to resolve this problem is to just once start gnome-keyring-daemon. It seems to create the necessary files that the error in lernid does not occur.
