Alles was schnuckelig.eu ist...

And again there are some updated packages for eAccelerator 0.9.5.3 on Debian (AMD64)

If you update the packages using my repository you'll get them anyway.

Unfortunately I've to use a machine running Debian Etch. Yes, that's pretty old and it should definetily updated to Lenny asap, BUT I'm not the admin... *sigh*

It's getting even harder since we'd like to use Subversion 1.6 on that machine for some reason. Firstly because of the better reintegration mechanisms compared to 1.5. Therefore I'm trying to backport the current Squeeze packages to Etch.

There are security updates for PHP on Debian Lenny amd therefore I updated the eAccelerator package.

If you run aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade regularly against my repository you'll get them anyway.

I use Roundcube mail from time to time, but faced some errors or weird behaviour regularly. I therefore decided to re-install the latest stable version, which is 0.3 at the time of this writing.

It was quite easy the last time, so I expected having it done in minutes. I failed!! I regularly got empty pages and wasn't able to run through the installer... *sigh* After a while of debugging the code, I got the idea that eAccelerator might cause the trouble and added

php_admin_value eaccelerator.enable 0

to my Apache's vhost settings.

I already wrote about my Meizu M6 and Rhythmbox and how to get them working together. This time HAL, the hardware abtraction layer in recent Linux systems is involved.

As I already explained I use the eAccelerator packages from Andrew McMillan.

Unfortunately he didn't compile new packages for Debian Lenny. Therefore I took his work as starting point and compiled the packages for the latest Lenny updates for the amd64. The i386 packages will follow soon.

You can find the packages at my repository or add it to your sources.list

As I already told I'm using policyd-weight for SPAM protection purposes. Since I'm always curious how it behaves I use the mailgraph to get some statistics from my logs.

If you look on the number of past week's sent and received mails is approx. 0.13 mail/minute.

Lately I had on of these problems that could run into real trouble...
... unless you find a very easy solution for it.

I wanted to su to root and realised that I've forgotten the root password. OK, not a big deal, I usually allow sudo for my user. BUT, I couldn't remember my password either... *sigh* I always logged in via SSH with an authorised key, hence not using my password for quite a while.

I recently read on schmalenegger's blog about the absence of XMMS in the Ubuntu repositories.

I noticed a while ago that XMMS development seems to be stuck somehow and the Debian repositories weren't up-to-date. There is the XMMS 2 project, but at the time I was looking for an alternative of XMMS it wasn't at a usable state.
