As clearly stated in Linux SATA RAID FAQ the Conceptronics CSATACOMBO card based on VIA vt6421 chipset is not a Hardware RAID.
The CSATACOMBO is called a “fake raid“, “BIOS RAID” or “BIOS-assisted software RAID” that means that actually a driver at OS level is needed to get the RAID features (see more info [...]

Remember to start the X system using startxwin.bat not startx. With startx I lose the mouse cursor/pointer when I´m over a X window.

Every time I run setup.exe and try to upgrade bash package
setup.exe crashes with the familiar “setup.exe has generated errors and will be close by windows. you will need to restart the program. An error log is being created”. The solution I found is for bash package but [...]

If your are getting “bash: clear: command not found” on you first install of cygwin you have to make sure that you include ncurses packages in your cygwin installation. clear.exe doesn´t come in the standard installation. You must include ncurses to get clear.exe in your system. If you are using bash you can use Ctrl-L [...]

If you tried (like me) to redirect your / (root) web directory to a subfolder (like /wp/) modifying .htaccess in this way:
Redirect 301 / http://rubenlaguna.com/wp/
You probably found that it didn’t work. The browser will end up in an endless loop of redirections. Firefox will complain with this error message:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox [...]

I got the “avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain” but I have no .local domain so I was a little bit confused.

First you need setuptools/EasyInstall:
cd $HOME/opt
wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
mkdir -p $HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages python ez_setup.py –prefix=$HOME/opt/easyinstall
Next, trac:
cd $HOME/opt
wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/trac-0.10.4.tar.gz
tar xvzf trac-0.10.4.tar.gz
cd trac-0.10.4
python setup.py install –prefix=$HOME/opt/trac
cd ..
rm -rf trac-0.10.4
cd trac
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/:$HOME/opt/trac/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ bin/trac-admin $HOME/testtracenv initenv
Then the xmlrpcplugin:
cd $HOME/opt
wget -O xmlrpcplugin.zip ‘http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/xmlrpcplugin?old_path=/&filename=xmlrpcplugin&format=zip’
unzip xmlrpcplugin.zip
cd xmlrpcplugin/0.10/
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ python setup.py bdist_egg
cp dist/*.egg $HOME/testtracenv/plugins
cat <<EOF >>$HOME/testtracenv/conf/trac
.ini
> [components]
> tracrpc.* = enabled
> EOF
And now you can test your [...]

If you got a lot of ill-named files like:
$ ls
S01E03.The.Sopranos.S01E03.Denial.Anger.Acceptance.avi
The.Sopranos.1×04.Meadowlands.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E01.The.Sopranos.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E02.46.Long.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E06.Pax.Soprana.avi
The_Sopranos.105.College.avi
that your divx player can’t sort properly and you want to end up with something like:
$ ls
1×01.avi 1×02.avi 1×03.avi 1×04.avi 1×05.avi 1×06.avi
you can use the following script in this way:
cd /path/to/avi/files
../script.sh|sh
and if you want to do the same thing to [...]
Today I finally decide to make a script to keep my bash_history synchronized among all the machines I use. It’s a simple script that retrieves all the .bash_history files from all my machines, merges all the files into one, sort it, removes the duplicated lines and write it back to all the machines. The only [...]
I’m observing an strange firefox behavior when I scroll the page using the mouse wheel. It goes back and forth through search history. So I googled a little bit and found that the KVM switch that I’m using it’s producing bogus key press event that firefox misinterprets. If you are running Linux [...]
