I have an Asustor (Nimbuster 4 / AS5304T) NAS at home, which allows me to perform regular backups. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to find a way to configure remote backups from the NAS to rsync.net using the "Remote Sync" option of the "Backup & Restore" app provided in the […]

Migrating picture tags from KPhotoAlbum to digiKam (or others) through IPTC
dimanche 7 avril 2013. Libre etc
I've occasionally used KPhotoAlbum for a few years and eventually added many tags to the pictures. But I've decided I wanted to try other tools, and digiKam seems to be the best option from the many reviews I've read. Still, there's apparently no automatic feature to import into digiKam the tags set […]

Unfortunately, GLabels is currently unmaintained. Still, it's a very convenient tool, IMHO to print DIY business cards. Here's my glabels business card file, for those interested to borrow and reuse it.

New GPG key
mardi 29 mars 2011. Libre etc
I have generated a new GPG key (4096R/7C5BB6A5) for the needs of my application as Debian Developer. Therefore, the old key (1024D/B4C5F37F) will soon be retired. If you happen to meet me, I'd be glad to have my public key signed again by you. Here's a copy of the new public key, and one signed with […]

How to disable buggy trackstick for an Inspiron 4000 in Ubuntu 2009.10
samedi 7 novembre 2009. technique
I own an old Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop whose trackstick / trackpoint (the blue little joystick in the middle of the keyboard) has become really annoying : typing on the keyboard, or even touching the surface of the laptop generate parasite movements of the pointer. I've looked for a way to disable […]

Proper power management on Asus P4B266 mainboard

I've had difficulties with power management on my P4B266 mainboard (yes, pretty old but still works). Here are a couple tweaks I've done (which work with Debian lenny) : passing acpi=force to the kernel to enable acpi tweaking the HAL suspend quirks (see bellow) in […]

I’ve attended the recent FOSDEM 2009 (great as always), where a number of presentations triggered a lot of my interest. First @DebianRoom where Lucas presented UDD, the Universal Debian Database.

Applying as a Debian Maintainer
lundi 9 février 2009. Libre etc
I've been doing lots of Debian related things, and even took care of some packaging tasks. Nothing really fancy, and noticeable until recent contributions to bts-link, maybe ;) I've been thinking about becoming more involved in the project for quite some time, but I'm still a bit reluctant to […]

(Importé blog pro) Introduction to bts-link slides
jeudi 5 février 2009. Libre etc
bts-link is a very useful tool which helps keep track of bug status changes when a Debian bug has been marked as linked to another bug in an other (upstream) bugtracker. I’ve prepared some slides of introduction for our partners in Helios to introduce them to that tool : Introduction to bts-link […]

Debian on Zonbu mini PC

I had bought a Zonbu mini-pC and had barely used it until recently. I have started over, and decided to install a Debian lenny distro over it. The installation went quite well, but requires the use of a bootable USB key Debian installer (see reference here and here). I had to use the syslinux of […]

Debian water ? no : riverrock

I've found this water in Ireland (where I've been attending OSS2007), whose logo seems familiar, isn't it ? Notice the TM sign... weird ? Actually, it seems it's owned by Coca Cola somehow... even stranger ;)
