It’s not a big secret that I am helping out other people when they have Linux issues – and so I did at this fellows network. In fact, we did a Gentoo server together to give him some chance to learn more about Linux and how things work together. I double-checked all except for the passwords which left […]

Fighting the Asus ROG G752VSK
I have to admit, Asus did a sweet one here, but to be honest, it can be a pain in the rear end running linux – especially sound and touchpad. But regarding sound I was able to find at least some partial solution which is loading in a pin config as follows: [codec] 0x10ec0668 0x104313f0 0 […]
etckeeper vs git push and branches
It may sound weird to save /etc in some software like git, but let’s have a look why it does make sense: git is a revision control system that tracks changes and in case is able to revert them. Basically perfect for keeping track of our configuration files. You may not want to publish them on github as […]
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After tinkering a bit with the nvidia drivers I noticed that the software Qubes ships as stable is slightly out of date.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 […]
Qubes OS 3.2 – Hands on
This Hands-on stuff might be uncommon on here, but it’s just a transcript and my thoughts to toying around with some stuff. This time it’s about qubes, an operating system which is a bunch of VMs on Xen. Not sure yet what to think of those, but honestly, I’ve seen worse. But the problem itself is – as […]
