KomputerNerds

It is a real honor to service the IT needs of St. Nick. We have hooked Mr Clause up with a state of the art Linux computer (no virus for Santa). This will run his photo booth at Taylor Town Trade Center.

The Federal Recycler has contracted KomputerNerds to support all their refurbished PCs.

The Federal Recycler is our partner in green technology. They have a plant where old electronics go to be re-used and refurbished or dismantled and recycled. They have a 0 landfill policy and a portion of the proceeds go back to revitalizing Detroit.

When executing the apt-get update command, you may get “There is no public key available” warning message. This article explains how to solve this warning message message.

If you are running a different Linux distro or don't have the Fedora CD, I'm pretty sure you can use a different Linux bootable CD like Knoppix and then just install the LVM tools (How to install LVM tools on Knoppix) and use that instead.

So, once you're at the command prompt, you need to activate the LVM partitions so they can be used. This can be done using the following command:

lvm vgchange --ignorelockingfailure -P -a y

We will have a booth at the trade show. Please stop on by and see us. We will be showing our new kids desk with built in edubuntu.

sudo rmmod psmouse (to disable touchpad) and sudo modprobe psmouse (to enable mouse again).

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the Kubuntu packages installed. I use switch between ratpoison and kde and so I sometimes manually configure /etc/network/interfaces. When I went back to KDE I had lost of trouble getting my eth0 and eth1(wifi) connecting. Under network manager it said that eth0 was disconnected and eth1 was unmanaged.

I read this thread and decided to rename interfaces. I had to restart X to get it to take affect, but this gave control back to network-manager.

I will probably have to write a script to change out interfaces when I switch between windows managers.

So your downloading that big file and you go to bed to let it finish and wake up to disk full error. Now we should all have 12TB NAS Storage units, but if just want to clean up your existing storage (or even your 12TB storage) and you need to really see where all the files are by size. There is an awesome program called firelight.
