I am an arch user, but recently I installed ubuntu 14.04, just because why not, and I realised something, EVERY THING RUNS BETTER. I can actually play games like garry's mod without my computer dieing, so I ask, why arch, why... :'( My will has been broken

I'm running Debian 7, graphics card is GTX 560 with updated drivers. I was having trouble with audio (couldn't get it to work) earlier, but have since figured it out. Under the sound settings>hardware I had to select the HDMI Audio Controller and then select a profile (off, 4x Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI) Output options, and 4x Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output options, for 9 total options).

Only on of the surround sound and one of the stereo options actually produce sound when selected, however, whenever a sound starts the screen will flickerl, such as at the beginning of every song when playing Pandora.

I'm sure this is not intended. I've opened up alsamixer to ensure that nothing was muted, and turned all the way up, and tried some other profiles for the sound card that don't flicker, but there's still no sound, only on the 2 that do flicker.

Any ideas?

The next Ubuntu Long-Term Release, codenamed Trusty Tahr, will be released on April 17th, 2014 and will ship with several notable features, while mainly focusing on stable main components rather than bleeding-edge software, a very good decision which fits perfectly such a big release.

Given a cluster of servers in a development environment, each with a different set of installed RPMs which are often updated via CI server or manual deployment, is there an existing tool (a lightweight webserver or something) out there that I could install on each server in order to easily view information on all of the installed RPMs via HTTP? I could write a script that SSHes into each server to gather that same data, but that's messy.

I could write my own tool for this, but I figured I'd make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel. Googling hasn't really turned up anything promising.

The idea is that when I'm developing or testing, I'd like to be able to easily gather information on the state of the cluster, including what's currently installed on each server.

To clarify, given that rpm can display info like this at the command line, I'd like to get the same data as JSON or XML or something via a simple HTTP GET.

There will come a time (Precise ends April 2017, Lucid already stopped last year) when support will seize and quite possibly the repositories of their software packages will fold up as well; meaning that we won't be able to install new applications any longer.One solution is to create your own repositories of all the software packages they offer.

Adlink’s new Linux-ready COM Express module packs a 4th Gen. Intel Core ULT processor, PCIe, and eight USB, four SATA, and three display ports in 95 x 95mm.

KDE has released the first beta of the 4.13 versions of Applications and Development Platform. With API, dependency and feature freezes in place, the focus is now on fixing bugs and further polishing. Your assistance with finding and fixing issues is requested!A partial list of improvements can be found in the 4.13 Feature Plan. A more complete list of the improvements and changes will be available for the final release in the middle of April.This first beta release needs a thorough testing in order to improve quality and user experience. A variety of actual users is essential to maintaining high KDE quality, because developers cannot possibly test every configuration. User assistance helps find bugs early so they can be squashed before the final release. Please join the 4.13 team's release effort by installing the beta and reporting any bugs. The official announcement has information about how to install the betas.Dot Categories: KDE Official News

Schema bellow allows to avoid two commands . First one creating cinder volume and second one booting instance via volume created . It allows to create volume on F20 Controller node and boot instance via created volume on F20 Compute node simultaneously.

Once upon a time, Microsoft was the favorite target of malware developers. As Microsoft improved the defenses in its software, though, cybercrooks moved on to easier pickings. Adobe was a prime target for a while, but Adobe followed Microsoft's lead and made its software more secure as well.

Raspberry Pi celebrated its second birthday last week. Since its debut on February 29, 2012, Raspberry Pi has ushered in a whole new generation of tiny, inexpensive, single-board computers. Numerous Raspberry Pi based DIY project ideas are popping up over the web, and there are many use cases of Raspberry Pi as low-cost learning media in the developing world. Celebrating its second birthday, I am going to share in this post several interesting facts about Raspberry Pi.

The latest bi-weekly development release of Wine is now available, but sadly it doesn't yet mainline the major Direct3D command stream work for improved performance nor has it moved much along with its Direct3D 10/11 work...
