A Nice Valentines Drink
take an ounce of raspberry vodka.... My backup server which
has no monitor, mouse or keyboard attached to it has suddenly
decided it no longer wishes to obtain an IP address automatically.
I can issue
sudo ifup eth0 and it will go off and
fetch an IP but at bootup it fails to do this.
My
/etc/network/interfaces file is exactly the same as
my desktops and the desktop has no problems at all. I haven't had
time to figure out what has changed but I don't like not having a
nightly backup so it is something I should fix soonish.
add a splash of chocolate liqueur... Debian unstables'
version of
gtkpod(0.99.4), has for a
long long time simply crashed whenever I started it. There are
quite a few bugs filed regarding this but for several months now no
upgrade to fix it. I needed to add some new music and happily the
cvs version compiles cleanly and so far works like a charm.
top with chilled champagne and enjoy... Unfortunately for me
though, my niece got hold of my iPod and accidentally set the
language to Chinese (at least it appears to be Chinese as best as I
can tell). We tried our best to find the language settings but
eventually gave up and used some Apple app to restore the thing to
its factory settings, Which is why this evenings activity was
filling the iPod with music again.
(in case your wondering, I know this is Valentines but my boyfriend
has to work tonight so we will do something later this week.)
