ruby-libvirt mailing list

I want to download the mailing list archive and read it later
wget --mirror https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/

let's see if we can remember to actually read it.

mplayer issues (libglut)

So you think that you have installed mplayer....

which mplayer
/usr/bin/mplayer

... but when you fire it up you get an err like this

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

All you have to do is install another package. A missing dependency, perhaps?

yum search glut

Fedora 14 - HP Elite 2530p

I got this laptop from some dude on gumtree.

dmidecode | grep -i hp
Product Name: HP EliteBook 2530p
String 3: www.hp.com

It's small, light and has an extended battery. Golly, I even get five hours of the thing. The ooooooooonly issue was getting the wireless driver to work. Typically it's easy to install the firmware for the wireless thingy.

First off, let's see what wireless thang we have.

lspci | grep -i net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

it's that last line. This device needs firmware - grrr!

dmesg | grep http
[ 18.678999] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.

Well there you go. It's all the in one simple line. Just visit the URL and follow the instructions. You don't even need to reboot the laptop once the driver has been installed. Just hit the wifi button along the top of the keyboard and you'll see the network manager icon, swirling around as it detects local wireless networks, if any.

google-chrome browser fedora 14 64 bit

• visit http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html
• download the 64-bit rpm for fedora
• yum install redhat-lsb.x86_64 -y
• rpm -U google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

check that the rpm has been installed

which google-chrome

if you see anything like the output shown below then you are good to go!
/usr/bin/google-chrome

guess who's back

;-)
