La dama y la Muerte

The other night there was a tv show with short animations. This one was absolutely FANTASTIC!

OpenOffice goes Spanish

Well, that's a way to put things...

In fact, OpenOffice.org has been forked into LibreOffice held by Document Foundation and is now available for download and usage.

If you already have OpenOffice in your Ubuntu and you want to try LibreOffice, just get the tgz from here, unzip it and then install it with

sudo dpkg -i $WHERE_YOU_UNZIPED/en-US/DEBS/*.deb

sudo dpkg -i $WHERE_YOU_UNZIPED//en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.3-debian-menus_3.3-9526_all.deb

Remove old kernels

When you boot your computer and have 10E10 kernels to choose from in the bootloader, it is annoying... Usually you just have to boot the first one on the list, but if you have a Window$ OS installed, well, you have to go though the kernel list until you find the Window$ loader.

The option is to remove old kernels :)

Here's the trick:

1. Find out what is the version you are currently using with

uname -r

2. Check what kernels are installed in your machine

ls /boot | grep vmlinuz | cut -d'-' -f2,3

that will give you the KERNEL_IDs

2.6.28-23
2.6.28-24
2.6.28-25

3. Find the stuff associated with the kernels you don't want with

dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep KERNEL_ID | awk -F' ' '{ print $2 }'

that should give you the UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST

linux-headers-2.6.28-23

linux-headers-2.6.28-24-generic

linux-image-2.6.28-25-generic

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-25-generic

4. Finally, remove the items in UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST with

sudo aptitude remove UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST[N=1, ..., N]

Personally, I always keep the version I am using, (duh!) plus the previous one... You never know ....
