This is my third time having problem installing Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu (14.04). What’s worse is that I could not remember how I fixed them last time.

On my Ubuntu desktop, this config file resides at /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81overlay-scrollbar. To correct this problem, we can purge ‘overlay-scrollbar’ package with this command:...

moserial - a serial terminal for Linux

The real tag line for moserial is “a serial terminal for the GNOME desktop”. However, since it’s installed just fine on my KDE desktop, I titled this post as “moserial - a serial terminal for Linux”.

In my case, machines which couldn’t play audio CD don’t have ‘/dev/cdrom’: # ls -l /dev/cd* ls: cannot access /dev/cd*: No such file or directory Let’s create one:...
