Opera: ZPixmap not supportet in 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope


2009
06.05

Tips for how to correct the ZPixmap – problem in Opera (and probably a few other program as well):

According to some guy at Blogspot it is an issue with the Intel driver. He did post the issue before Ubuntu 8.10, but it is still not fixed (as of 9.04).

If you got the problem on your computer (with an Intel graphics card) you’ll see the message ZPixmap not supported when running Opera from console. The fix is simple: Just add the line Option “AccelMethod” “XAA” in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as the last element in the “Device” section. Reboot to ensure that the drivers are loaded as they should, and you’re up and running.

Atahualpa theme once again


2009
04.24
stepping up to nothing

The Atahualpa theme have once again proved it’s value here, it is used as the basis for the layout.

One thing to remember when using the theme: Take away the weird links at the bottom. This is perfectly legal, as the authors do not claim copyright to the file where they put the links.

To remove them you need to to edit the file functions.php. The content to alter are the contet commented out on the sample below:

function footer_output($footer_content) {
global $wp_query;
$current_page_id = $wp_query -> get_queried_object_id();
get_queried_object_id();
/*
  $link_anchors = array("Wordpress Theme", "WP Themes", "WordPress Themes", "Wordpress Themes", "WP Theme", "Wordpress Layouts", "Wordpress Templates");
  $link_anchors2 = array("Free", "Download", "Best", "BFA", "Atahualpa", "3 column", "New", "", "");
  $link_anchors3 = array("Professional", "Buy", "Custom", "Premium", "", "Premium", "SEO", "Adsense", "Build your own", "");
  srand($current_page_id);
  $link_anch3 = array_rand($link_anchors3); $link_anch2 = array_rand($link_anchors2);
  $link_anch = array_rand($link_anchors);
  $footer_content .= '
<a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> · <a title="'.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'" href="http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/">'.$link_anchors2[$link_anch2].' '.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'</a> · <a title="'.$link_anchors3[$link_anch3].' WordPress Themes" href="http://www.themeframe.com/">'.$link_anchors3[$link_anch3].' '.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'</a>';
*/
return $footer_content;

It’s a simple reason for doing this: The theme got references to websites that are not the site of the themes creators. If you make a website, make sure that there are NO excess spam on it!

There are ads used on vestby.name, just to see how the ad system is working, but since the Atahualpa creators are asking for money on their “stylist” page – it’s not fair that they add tags and more that are not related to them.

Ubuntu download day

YES!

Today is Ubuntu download day, go to the ubuntu website and download the new and (fairly) stable Ubuntu Jaunty!

At the core of the Ubuntu Philosophy are these core philosophical ideals:

  1. Every computer user should have the freedom to download, run, copy, distribute, study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees.
  2. Every computer user should be able to use their software in the language of their choice.
  3. Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability.

Don’t forget to pay back, prefferably by submitting bugreports and patches.

:-D

Where are the aid for Windows addicts?


2009
03.22

There are help and support groups for people suffering from several addictions: Firefox addicts, Ubuntu addicts, BSD addicts – but none for Windows addicts..

Is Windows – addicts a helpless, and thereby uncureable grup? Are they lost without hope?

All I know is: The most common PC user is using a version of Windows. This should imply one of two things:

  • A huge level of self-denial among the Windows addicts
  • The addiction are self-cured by considerate persons at Redmond – making Windows break down at irregular intervals – and thereby curing people for there addictions.
