A week ago, I received my Raspberry PI through the mail. Due to real life issues, I wasn’t able to do testing on this small ARM computer. So after buying a cheap usb wifi dongle and assembling the casing, I decided to try a real life probable use of the PI. On slow networks, traffic…
This is a short rant I would like to say out there. I know, I know, the links which I will post here are outdated, but I still think its relevant. Before you go and bash me for being a totally bad guy, please take note: 1. I have been in the Linux world since…
UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service via the system message bus. Some operations (such as suspending the system) are restricted using PolicyKit. UPower is used by applications such as the XFCE4 power…
The default proprietary linux display drivers in Xorg for Lubuntu which I installed in my Samsung 535u3c ultrabook doesn’t work for the lcd brightness settings (xbacklight doesn’t work for this notebook). After setting up my sound successfully, this is the other issue I found for the ultrabook. You can solve the following by doing the…
I recently bought a Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook Model 535u3c, which is powered by an AMD Dual-Core A6-4455M with 7500 Radeon Graphics to replace my 3 years running aging Benq netbook (which is admittedly physically banged up enough with lots of abuse). It’s cheap and fast enough for programming/development use and you can play games…

I've been too busy these days to compile a kernel module for android. For those who want to compile a tun.ko kernel for Android (a commtiva z71 variant), here are the general steps. You need a linux environment to compile this module.
Finally got myself a month ago an android phone, a cheapo commtiva z71 variant (cherry mobile nova) Thoughts about it? Really cool, but android by itself is somewhat unpolished compared to iOS, or even Symbian for that matter. Stay tuned for more. Posted from android. Google+
Hi there guys, I noticed moblin’s repository of packages are quite limited. Yes, I know, moblin is gonna be meego in Q2 2010, but for the moment, I need my application fix. Presenting a little moblin rpm repository until I meego comes, or whatever… Two applications are in there, GFtp and Gnumeric. Those applications fitted…
Well, it’s a short post. Since I was around the area and was more or less free during the time, I attended a short meeting with a local Linux Users Group at the G2iX Techbar, IT Park, Cebu City, of which I am a member. There was basically a short talk on Liferay, an Open…
