Completely shadow-less

Well, decided to kill all the Desktop Effects.

As least for a while, totally cold turkey that is.
I don't use much of them anyways, but, but, but... The Drop Shadows are really, really missed in my desktop... That is the only Desktop Effect, actually, and, sort of related to that one, the ability to use a totally border-less window, which without shadow underneath, looks like crap (if not Scottish, its Crap!!).
So, right now I'm with borders and without shadows, so far, being using it like this for a couple of hours, I can do it just fine (the last time I tried didn't last more than a few minutes....)
I could use Metacity's own composite engine, but it blows g0at dick when you have to Alt - Tab with more than 6 windows open.
The theme is still Alliance, but since yesterday I've modified a little bit.

The current Ubuntu theme


Having a blast with the Alliance theme, using both the Metacity as well as the GTK version.
I like it, it is like a retro and also lighter -brighter-, but then again, not a lot, not too much than the regular version of themes I've been using on Lucid so far.
Of course, I have removed any sign of borders, making it completely border-less, the way modern GUIs should be, IMHO.

Gay Marriage Argentina Style

Argentina passed a legislation yesterday that recognizes gay marriages by law, besides the obvious good news, I really, honestly can't believe that is the same country (inhabited by more or less the same people) that killed each other in the late 70's, yeap, there has been some 30 years of water under the bridge...
Of course there is a political angle to the whole thing, no government does anything for free, but nevertheless, it is a law that hopefully will out live the government.

MRTG: Reload Ok file on Ubuntu Server

I had a problem with an MRTG server while graphing the interface use on a Cisco 2600 & another 2800 router, out of the blue, the MRTG started to graph a completely pegged interface, and printing errors such as this when "executed by hand" from the CLI:

WARNING: Can not determine ifNumber for xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ref: 'Name' key: 'Et0/0'
WARNING: Can not determine ifNumber for xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ref: 'Name' key: 'Se0/0'
WARNING: Can not determine ifNumber for xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ref: 'Name' key: 'Se0/0.240'
ERROR: Target[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_et0_0][_IN_] ' $target->[1]{$mode} ' did not eval into defined data

ERROR: Target[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_se0_0.240][_OUT_] ' $target->[3]{$mode} ' did not eval into defined data

After Googling for a while the error message, all the references pointed towards of "getting rid of the '*.ok' files", but since I had none of those on my system that I could tell, what I did was renaming the file for that particular device on the directory defined on the directive 'ThreshDir':

sudo mv /var/lib/mrtg/_etc_mrtg_cfgs_xxxxxx.+++++++++.cfg /var/lib/mrtg/_etc_mrtg_cfgs_xxxxxx.+++++++++.cfg.OLD

After that, it started to work A Ok once again...

The files did actually changed, the original looked like this:

xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Ethernet0/0 1
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Null0 3
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Serial0/0 2
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Serial0/0.240 4

xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Name Se0/0.240
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Type 32 2
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Type 6 1

While the new one, automagically generated right after the first MRTG run, looks like this:

xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Ethernet0/0 1
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Null0 3
xxxx@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX_ Descr Serial0/0 2

Droid once again


Getting back to the Droid font, I really like Lucida Grande, it is lovely, yes, but I'm fed up with the problems displaying text input boxes.
Everything I tried -all the Google solutions- were no good, unfortunately.

Unable to turn off

This is a first one for me.
After the updates last night, chose not to restart when prompted by the Updater.
But, when I did chose to, the options were grayed out... Never mind that a 'sudo reboot' thru the Terminal did the job, and after the actual reboot, everything seems back to normal.

Misc screenshots


Couple of screenshots of Lucid, on the left running from Viking and connected to a crappy LCD TV (a 27" Boigle), the resolution got set automagically at 1024x768 and killed all the Desktop Effects in the process.
The one in right is from Hercules, while updating it yesterday... Posted here so I can compare how the theme looks with the reduced resolution, specially since I'm running exactly the same theme on Viking, but with a much higher resolution.

The joke goes on & on...


This is ridiculous... We are in the middle of winter! Please, Jeebus, make this crap weather stop!

Simply Better

The lovely Metacity theme known as Simply Basic -which I have been using for a while now- got even better.
The author (I'd like to believe that after talking with yours truly... ;) ) removed the borders from the theme completely.

Freaking heat in the middle of winter

This has been so far a pretty decent winter, not too cold, but cold; that is up until today, when, out of the blue, we got hit by a shit humid weather bomb, and the fucking temperature jumped like the devil.

PHP compile on CentOS 5 (oci8 + pdo-oci + pdo-mysq)

First, the pre-requisites, in order to get a nice ./configure & make going:

yum install php-mysql mysql mysql-server httpd-devel mod_php php-soap libxml2-devel \
openssl-devel curl-devel libpng-devel libmcrypt-devel mysql-devel libxslt-devel \
libtool libtool-ltdl libtool-ltdl-devel


And then, the ./configure specifics:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.3 \
--with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--with-curl --with-ldap=shared --enable-bcmath --with-xsl --enable-sockets --with-mcrypt --enable-soap \
--with-gettext --with-pear=/usr/share/pear --with-openssl --enable-zip --enable-ftp --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME \
--with-pdo-oci=$ORACLE_HOME --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd
