Piratebay je jako zanimljiv site :) No još su zanimljivija stranica pravnih prijetnji i njihovih odgovora na te prijetnje.
 

Torrenfreak je i dalje najbolji izvod za praćenje vijesti u torrent svijetu pa tako i za vijesti vezane za ovo suđenje. Neka suđenja su zanimljivija od trilera, ovo je jedno od njih… svaki dan neki vrlo zanimljivi prevrati – toplo preporučam :)

As a long time Linux desktop user and Linux enthusiast I want bloody screaming fast desktop :) There are some situations that I just want to pull my hair out when I see that desktop performance just crawls to a halt :(
 
When I read articles like Tales from responsivenessland I really don’t get why there aren’t bells ringing in the heads of the people who can actually make a difference for Linux desktop performance.
 
I was also really sad when I read interview with Con Kolivas and the reasons why he quit kernel development.
 
I hope kernel developers will wake up and realise that there are also us – Desktop users and what we need and want are responsive desktops.
 
Will Fedora be the first Linux distro to have sane desktop defaults (vm.swappiness=1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50). Current Fedora slogan is “Features. Freedom. Friends. First”, I hope to see “Desktop performance” as part of it soon ;)
 
What do you think about Linux destop performance?

Our local LUG made custom distribution based on Fedora 10 and added extra repositories (livna and rpmfusion). On the day of Installfest we gave our custom distro to everybody who came. People installed it and then we showed them some basic Linux bash cli commands. Everything was working as expected until we came to command called yum. We wanted to show how to install and remove applications under bash command line on distribution-based-on-Fedora but yum failed :(
 
After some investigation we saw that for everybody it failed on same thing – livna repository. We concluded that livna repo is dead and disabled it in livna.repo.
 
After that yum worked great. Now I have read that livna is not dead but has DNS issues.
 
On my home laptop I have both Fedora 9 and Fedora 10. In Fedora 9 I have setup additional Livna repository and I was suspicious when I knew that there were updates for Fedora 9 but update widget didn’t show then. Again the same issue. I disabling Livna repository and then update widget woke up and found lots of updates just waiting to be installed.
 
I have a question for you: do you think that yum and NetworkManager should be impervious to DNS failure of one repo and just skip that repo or should it fail and stop any attempts for update, install or remove if one repository has some networking issues?
 
UPDATE: After updating Fedora 9 and re-enabling Livna repo yum works by skipping it. I’ll have to check once more how our custom Fedora 10 is handling this issue and report back… during the Installfest maybe some more issues were the cause of yum failing – local network issues maybe? Anyway, I’ll check and report back.

I just held Fedora 10 Installfest on which there were some laptops with ATI x1250 video chip. I have mostly experience with Intel video cards which run smoothly on Fedora.
 
I heard and read from others how ATI proprietary drivers have enormously prospered in last few months and how great they work on Linux desktop, so I was surprised to see this card failing so much on Fedora 10.
 
I know that it is now Fedora Project’s fault but probably ATI or X.org, but no matter how much I tried to explain that to the people on Installfest they conclued: Ubuntu works, Fedora does not.
It is not easy being Fedora Ambasador :(
 
This ATI x1250 card worked poorly with default Xorg drivers :( It was slow, some artefacts emerged, video was slow in fullscreen… lots of issues.
 
We upgraded Xorg and kernel but that didn’t help.
 
Then I enabled rpmfusion repo and installed ATI proprietary fglrx driver. After init 3 and then init 5 it failed to launch X server :(
Reboot – and still the same….
 
Reboot into old kernel without fglrx – X starts with Xorg driver but still old issues are present.
 
The icing on the cake was when Ubuntu 8.10 worked great on that same laptop. How can I convince people that Fedora 10 is a great distro when I can’t make it run properly on same hardware Ubuntu runs.
 
DId anybody get ATI x1250 to run ok with default Xorg drivers on Fedora 10? How?
 
Did anybody get ATI x1250 to run ok with propretary ATI fglrx drivers on Fedora 10? How?
