nfs: read-only-filesystem
Posted by coldtobi | 30 Dec, 2009, 23:54Just another thing learned:
The two line -- in /etc/exports -- have different meaning
/share 192.168.0.1 (rw)
/share 192.168.0.1(rw)
The first one gives read only to 192.168.0.1, and rw to any other hosts, while the second is gives read-write permissions to 192.168.0.1.
(So, whitespaces do matter. In NFS.)

BTW: If you like it better "in paper", the ISBN for the paper version is 1593272065. (Or at least in Germany amazon it is "gonna be", as it is not yet available)

Eclipse Galileo (3.5.x) keeps crashing on closing dialogs
Posted by coldtobi | 29 Nov, 2009, 20:00A Current problem with Eclipse is that it keeps crashing when closing diaglog. At least under Gnome eclipse was barly usable and some features, like installing new plugins, was not possible.
The reason seems to deep inside, somehow related to libpango -- at least the backtrace indicated this -- (See Bugreport)
But there is a work around:
Disable Gnome's "Assitive Technologies" (Gnome's menu bar -> System -> Preferences -> Assitive Technologies), log out and in.
In my case it worked afterwards.

Bzr2Git -- make a git repositpry out of a bazaar one
Posted by coldtobi | 1 Nov, 2009, 15:25I have used bazaar on my Thecus for my private projects. At that time, git was not available on Windows platforms.
However, during the development of solarpowerlog, I learned that is not longer true, and after some time of usage I decided to finally switch everything to git. (bzr also showed some "hangs" on my thecus when commiting which were really annoying....

Ebook on git
Posted by coldtobi | 29 Oct, 2009, 22:29git is a quite complex version control system, which is very powerful but hard for starters.
I use it SCMs for at least 8 years now, starting with CVS at the university for my thesis, and in professional context with the propieraty MKS for 5 years. But git is still different, and going beyond basics is not trivial. Therefore I am currently looking for a ebook on git, to deepen my knowledge on it.
I found two:
The git community book explains everything, but is still hard.
But I just realized, that there is a ebook in debian's repository, which is quite nice to read: the debian package is "gitmagic" and can be downloaded also here, including some translations.
