My bash history looked something like this (remember to backup db/site first and run update.php at the right places):

Replace all occurences of foo with bar in the file:

%s/foo/bar/g

Nokia are going with Meego for their high-end phones- Symbian will only be used for lower end phones. The Nokia N8 will be the last N series Symbian phone.

Also check out this rumour of the Nokia N9 Meego phone:

The Good:

Nice interface, like the lane highlighting, nice keyboard entry, quick routing and liked the settings on speed camera and speeding warnings.

The Bad:

Volume to low (fix on the way possibly), speed camera seems abit iffy (it kept telling me that the speed camera ahead was for 30 MPH on the M25 or at least i think that's what it was saying- I was busy driving carefully to do a proper check).

Overall I am happy I bought it-not a bad price at 60 Euros. When they fix the volume bug and I work out what is going on with the speed cameras it will be even better!

Basically I wasn't in the vboxusers group:

1) Check if your username is in the group: 

cat /etc/group | grep v*box

2) If it isn't add it and logout/login.

sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a YOURUSERNAME

I just formatted my Vista install and installed Windows 7.Microsoft being Microsoft it assumed it was the only OS on my disk and replaced grub.To fix:

VirtualBox 3.1.0 has been released!

I followed the Linux instructions and installed it fine on Karmic 9.10 x64.

I previously posted about my Asus Xonar DX in Ubuntu. I have found a better fix after my reinstall.

The problem I was having was when I adjusted the volume it stopped/stuttered for a few seconds.
The solution: here.

I enabled the backports repository and installed
GUI way:
System>Administration>Software Sources>Updates>tick Unsupported updates
System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager>click Reload then search for inux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
and install and reboot. Done.

Terminal way:
Uncomment backports lines in /etc/apt/sources.list (sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic

I am back using Ubuntu 9.10 x64 (Karmic Koala). I tried to use Suse 11.2 for a week but in the end I just couldn't. Suse is normally so polished but this release felt half-baked.

Ubuntu is just so much faster to do things in. Faster to update. Faster to install packages. Faster to find packages because of the bigger community/repositories. Things that would take minutes and lots of clicking in Suse's Webpin/Yast gui thingymajig take seconds with a sudo apt-get install.

Also does Suse even have mirrors? Downloading packages from them took hours and I could'nt find an easy way to set a mirror.
Another thing that worried me was that to get software I quite often had to install from locations that I didn't fully trust- repositories created by users that are on the suse site but I don't know how much checking they receive.

My wireless on Suse also felt buggy and my dmesg logs were full of weird messages about it that could not be explained by a quick google-perhaps another sign of a smaller community.

Suse did some things very well: Beautiful installer, pretty default theme, sound worked great out of the box, nice choice of default graphical effects when enabled.
The main bad points were: terrible menu by default, terrible 'traditional' menu layout, package management still sucks and a smaller community than Ubuntu.

Perhaps if I had used the full DVD install things would have been better? Or perhaps if I had used the KDE live install?
I will try Suse again in a year and hope things have changed. Until then back to the wonderful, easy, quick world of Ubuntu (and its ugly default theme).
