I’m going to be unable to a normal ammount of work on the internet. I’m very busy with school at the moment(school theatre, school camp, CUC FCE exams, exchange with another grammar school in Leer, Germany and school camp), so I won’t triage many bugs, or work on Project Paragon. I’m also asked to create [...]

Windows XP Comment

18:33 on 21 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

I’ve installed Windows XP at the back partition at my SATA harddisk.
I wanted to try something I’ve thought of to get my new motherboard working, but after I changed the motherboard I found out that it didn’t work. I didn’t want to go through all the trouble that comes with changing the motherboard so I [...]

Nieuw Boek: De Onschuldige Magiër Comment

18:05 on 20 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, Dutch Posts ,

Ik had op mijn verjaardag een boekenbon gekregen en die dingen blijven bij mij meestal nooit lang liggen. Na wat literatuur(Helder Maan – Lulu Wang, De Vliegeraar – Khaled Hosseini en Publiek Geheim – Bernlef) wilde ik wel weer eens een fantasy boek. Ik heb gekozen voor ‘De Onschuldige Magiër’ van Karen Miller.
De beschrijving is [...]

Blog changes Comment

16:19 on 18 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts

I’ve made several changes to my blog. I’ve ’socialized’ it a bit with adding the Last.FM widget and revived my Twitter account(I’m going to use a client to twit, Twitux or gTwitter.).
Another change was the tagging. I requested to change the feed at Planet Ubuntu Users to ‘ubuntuweblogs’, because not all my posts are in [...]

Back to old motherboard 1 Comment

Because I needed access to my harddisk for school I placed my old motherboard back. I just wanted to use my computer and data again and since that wasn’t going to succeed with my new motherboard(I couldn’t disable AHCI like someone suggested in my previous post: Inactive. Probably because it isn’t activated at all.). Fortunately [...]

Maybe you’ve wondered why I seemed so away the past few days. That’s because I’ve got some new computer parts. And those parts don’t work like I want them to. I’ve ordered three things:
-Motherboard: Asus M3N78-EH
-Graphics card: Asus EN9600GT HTDI
-PSU: Spire Jewel 420W
It all started when wanted a better graphics card than the onboard [...]

SSH keys Comment

18:40 on 13 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu

There is a lot of talking and blogging in the Debian and Ubuntu community about USN-612-1. It turned out that the random number generator from openssl isn’t that random.
I followed the intructions in this post: Weak SSH key? I found at the Ubuntu Planet to test if my keys were weak. But the commands in [...]

VirtualBox: Part II 2 Comments

14:35 on 12 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

In my previous post(VirtualBox: Part I) I talked about VirtualBox, which I wanted to use in order to test Intrepid. Now the 2.6.24.17 kernel modules for VirtualBox are in hardy-proposed repositories I can use it. I installed Hardy Heron and updated it to Intrepid Ibex by editing /etc/apt/sources.list manually, because there isn’t an upgrade button [...]

A request to freedesktop.org 2 Comments

19:42 on 8 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

I’ve files a bug at freedesktop: #15877
“Oh really? How speciall…”
It’s indeed a bit more special than a not working device. I suggested to move to Launchpad. Why? Because I think Launchpad is much better than Bugzilla. One of the main reasons is Launchpads(or actually Malones) Bug Watches. A project like freedesktop.org is used in almost [...]

Asus Asus EN9600GT + Asus M2NPV-VM = no signal 11 Comments

15:38 on 7 May 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts

After my birthday(which was yesterday) I discovered that I had a lot of money. I’ve always wanted to upgrade my system, my graphicscard is an onboard Geforce 6150 and I’ve just got 1GB DDR2 RAM.
This morning I decided to buy an Asus EN9600GT with 512MB DDR3 RAM. Later on I wanted to buy more memory [...]
