There’s a proverb in the German language, which could be roughly translated as ‘like the virgin got the baby’, which describes the process of getting something quite unexpectedly. And so we’re standing here, hosting the community forums that grew around the ‘Code of Honor’ as the former administrator couldn’t do it anymore. Sure, my experience helps on such […]
Huawei P10 lite – Poking around
As I had spent quite some time with Android and ROMs it was time to poke around in the thing called ‘stock rom’ – that stuff that Huawei gives to us, the end user. And that’s where it gets really interesting: The first notable thing is that Huawei employs two recovery systems on two separate partitions. One of […]
Huawei P10 lite – Not quite my taste
Once again there were new devices for customers at A1. So I took a cheap P10 lite, because it made a solid impression at first sight – without looking at XDA. And that’s how things started getting messy. But let’s start at the beginning: The device comes with the EMUI UI, which is more or less a modification […]
Updating Bareos on Univention 4.2
One of my basic IT rules is “If you have some software running, do proper maintenance and keep it up to date or remove it.” I know, that’s one of those simple readings which end up to be quite easily forgotten and dismissed – especially as it’s connected to something called ‘work’. But to be honest, it’s not […]
Kernel Blues?
You know, thanks to Intel’s little ‘design flaw’ in its CPUs and all of that buzz going on, we’re forced to patch around a little. This time, the linux kernel bails out *– * AR /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a * CC /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/libstring.o * CC /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/str_error_r.o * LD /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/objtool-in.o *make[2]: execvp: ./sync-check.sh: Permission denied *make[2]: *** [Makefile:49: /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/objtool] Error 127 *make[1]: *** […]
Qubes OS 3.2 – Hands on – Part 2
After tinkering a bit with the nvidia drivers I noticed that the software Qubes ships as stable is slightly out of date. To be honest, Fedora 23 is EOL since a year now, so I decided to do some updating and the unbelievable miracle happened: nouveau drivers started to get alive – so removing nvidia binary blobs again […]
