Losing ZFS storage for Docker

I use ZFS as a storage driver for docker engine running on my machine. Today after my machine rebooted from a crash, yes Linux system crashes too, I notice that all my docker images and containers disappeared. First thing came to my mind was “did I accidentally destroy docker zfs data set last night?” It’s still there. At that point I suspected that Docker might no longer use ZFS as its data storage....

Install Hack font on FreeBSD 10

FreeBSD 10 comes with a pkgng package manager which allows to install binary packages faster and easier. Unfortunately, there is no binary package available for hack-font for FreeBSD 10.

Puppetserver failed to start after upgrading to 2.5.0

I upraded puppetserver from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 on a server running Centos 6.8. Then, puppetserver no longer starts.

GDM Doesn’t Start on Fedora 23 Beta and VirtualBox

I just finished upgrading Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 Beta and upon rebooting, gdm no longer started. I tried to reinstall the VirtualBox Guest Additions; unfortunately it still didn’t fix. To cut the story short, someone has given a working tip at this forum. The solution is to downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg package. After rebooting, I was able to login again.

Kinetis Design Studio crashes on Kubuntu 14.04

On Kubuntu 14.04, Kinetis Design Studio (KDS) could be started, but when I tried to create a new project, it’d crash with the following message displayed in the terminal: KDS is a Eclipse-based IDE. So I suspect the issue is related to Eclipse IDE itself. (I can’t confirm this as I’m not running the Eclipse IDE on this machine. I know I could have just downloaded and test it; but I don’t have time....
