I’ve been thinking about providing an indie developed game pack with games I felt were quite good. I have a chunk I need to narrow down through my computer but I’ll see what I have

Sorry I haven’t been posting like at all recently. Will go ahead and start maintaining this blog again. For those of you who know, my youtube channel has been on pause for the past few weeks, it will start up again soon. School work really got to me this semester giving me no time for recording.. (or sleep for that matter). Give me at most 1 week and I’ll have something up and ready for ya. Also Ubuntu posts may be on hold until I get 12.04.. will be very very soon so no worries. In the meantime enjoy this video of tetris

When I first install Ubuntu 11.10, I found that my brightness control shortcuts on my laptop were not working.. requiring me to set the brightness before booting. The solution to this is rather simple that I found in a post.

Open terminal and type

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

In there is a line called

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”“

Add acpi_osi=Linux in the quotes so it reads as

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”acpi_osi=Linux”

Then run the command

sudo update-grub

Now after a restart your brightness shortcuts should now work like they are supposed to.

If your shutdown time seems slower than normal, there is a fix for that. An answer is found and explained in a bug report that was filed

Why?

They are waiting to receive the event “deconfiguring-networking”, but the script who emits this event is “S35networking”. It executes after S20sendsigs, so the upstart jobs NEVER receives this event.

The solution:

I renamed the links in /etc/rc0.d and rc6.d:

- S31umountnfs.sh to S05umountnfs.sh
- S35networking to S15networking

It works very well

I tried it and it worked for me too. Hopefully the problem will be fixed in 12.04 LTS before its release.

The time is nearing.. only 1 month away :D
