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.

Just had a small laptop breakdown, where Windows wrote a BSOD – memory dump to the unencrypted Ubuntu partition. The backup was a week old, so fortunately the blogpost about encrypted filesystems in Ubuntu 8.10 work just as well in Debian Lenny :-D

The best about the Xtravanza diet – so far

Best about the diet (so far): It makes you realize that the biggest resource is yourself.

The Xtravaganza diet start as a living hell. It was partly my own fault, have been living on far too much junk – and being far too lazy – the last ten years. The result: I felt like a living BLOB.

Changing the basic lifestyle of a person is not easily done. The xtravaganza – system is a long-term thing. It makes one realize that the only resource is yourself – and I was on a seriously wrong track.

Different testing methods


2009
01.23
  • Model-based testing
    Testing the models describing the test object: Use cases, work-flows and so on
  • Statistical or stochastic testing
    Allocate the test effort by using statistical models about fault distribution in the test object, failure rates during use of the software (realiability growth models and others), and statistical distribution of use cases
  • Risk-based testing
    Test the items with highest risk / consequence first, and then keep on down almost until the consequence of failed test meets the economical consequences of testing
  • Process- or standard-compliant approach
    Use rules, recommendations and standards (as the V-model or IEEE 829)
  • Reuse-oriented approach
    Set up testing quickly for maximum reuse and minimal cost
  • Checklist-based approach
    Use the old failure- and detection lists from earlier tests
  • Expert-oriented approach
    Use the gut-feeling and expertise of involved experts
