Kubuntu 8.04 and bash completion of known hosts
After installing Kubuntu 8.04 I faced with problem that bash completion of known hosts doesn’t work anymore. After a simple looking at content of known_hosts file I found that host name is hashing and not readable. It was done by security reason to prevent worms propagate themselves across networks. To bring back bash completion and push system do not hashing host names just comment out […]
Android run on N810
Realise of Google’s mobile platform Android is one of the most coming events this year. So, Maemo geeks couldn’t ignore it.

Google Gears on Nokia Internet Tablets
Google Gears was ported to Nokia’s Linux-based Internet Tablet platform Maemo. This port allows you to install the Gears extension to devices like Nokia’s N800 and N810: The code is in a SVN repository with vendor branches.

Recently I installed the latest Skype for Linux (2.0.0.43) on my both systems: Fedora 8 and Kubuntu 7.04. I was surprised because the video calls really work.

Currently I cannot test […]
