Életem első mákosgubája

Ez az első mákosguba, amit én készítettem. A daráláshoz az új Hauser elektromos kávédarálót használtuk, amit magyarhonban vettem egy hete. Tíz perc volt a guba felezési ideje. :)

Switching on/of mobile data with Tasker (Android)

I noticed that the Mobile Data/Mobile Data APN actions do nothing on my new Android phone. The solution was to have the Widgetsoid installed and using its own mobile data functions from Tasker through the built-in Widgetsoid plug-in.

Deadlock with KDE in Ubuntu Natty

I don't have too much problems with my Ubuntu, but sometimes a zomby process appeared in the process list:

...
24456 ? 00:00:00 setxkbmap <defunct>
...

It was impossible to kill this process with kill -9 and the whole plasma desktop etc became unresponsive, I had to reboot my laptop...not too nice. I found the solution in a blog post.

Enhanced listing of the dead process (checking the parent process):

ps -ef | grep defunct | more

24456 1835 0 14:53 ? 00:00:00 [setxkbmap] <defunct>

And ps -e | grep 1835, voilá:

1835 ? 00:04:53 kded4

My good old friend, the KDE daemon. It made infinite loops in Lucid time to time, so it is again time to kill:

killall -9 kded4

...and my KDE desktop recovers again.

Very slow VMWare performance (host: Ubuntu Linux, guest: Windows 7)

Suddenly, I have just experienced very poor performance with VMWare (host: Ubuntu Linux, guest: Windows 7) under KDE. The virtual machine did not respond to mouse events only every 10 seconds or so. It turned out, the problem was the suspended Desktop Effects under System Settings/Desktop Effects. Reenabling the Desktop Effects solved the problem.

Git bash prompt in Midnight Commander (mc) subshell

Since the Midnight Commander overrides the PROMPT_COMMAND variable when it starts a new subshell, it is impossible to make a git prompt work without recompiling the mc. It is also an issue that the program has really poor documentation. It was quite hard for me to figure out how I can make it work:
- The major problem is hard-coded in the mc sources, so the attachment of this bug report should be applied to the mc sources and recompiled: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2027 (If you check the comments, the guys make flames instead of fixing the problem).
- When the mc is recompiled with the patch and installed, a new file should be created: ~/.mc/bashrc . This file contains executed commands when the new subshell starts, the example content of my ~/.mc/bashrc:

source ~/bash_git.sh
source bash_completion

Happy gitting with bash & mc! :)
