After upgrading from natty (11.04) to oneiric (11.10), some 32-bit applications don’t run anymore. I have ‘ia32-libs’ and ‘libc6-i386’ packages installed. For example, when I run Android adb, $ ./adb bash: ./adb: No such file or directory $ file adb adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped After googling around, the fix is quite simple: re-install ‘libc6-i386’. $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386 $ ....

One way to extract a .tar.Z file: $ zcat file.tar.Z | tar xvf -

Install tk8.5, if not yet installed: # apt-get install tk8.5 # update-alternatives --config wish Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/bin/wish8.4 *+ 2 /usr/bin/wish-default 3 /usr/bin/wish8.5</pre> There are 3 alternatives which provide wish. Type in the number that corresponds to tk8.5 (in my case was 3) then hit enter. Change fonts in ~/.gitk to DejaVu Sans Mono. set mainfont {{DejaVu Sans Mono} 9} set textfont {{DejaVu Sans Mono} 9} set uifont {{DejaVu Sans Mono} 9 bold}

MIUI (1.7.22) uses Arial as the default font. If you hate it as I do, here is how to change it. I assume you have adb working. We are going to replace only 2 fonts - Arial.ttf and Arial-Bold.ttf. First, let’s back up the old fonts just in case thing didn’t go well as we want to. (I learned this the hard way, and keen to avoid it at all cost)...

bind9 runs in a chroot environment on lenny. The service can be started as usual: # /etc/init.d/bind9 start Starting domain name service...: bind9. Let’s check bind9 status: ` /etc/init.d/bind9 status bind9 is not running failed! ` Well, the first thing I did was to check the log file, in which I found no error related to named. So I tried another way to check the status: # rndc status version: 9....

3 is my mobile carrier. It offers an online service which allows its customers to check the current usage from their phones by accessing this URL: three.net.au/my3/gethome.do. Usually it works quite well, but not today (and probably some more days to come), it gave me a HTTP ERROR 404. I thought I should just visit http://three.net.au and find out w-t-h is wrong. Unexpectedly it took me to another site — “callenden group policy wording”....
