I just finished atteding the latest Ubuntu Community Council meeting in #ubuntu-meeting and want to report on the latest success we’ve had within the LoCo project here in the US.
Four teams were up for approval and all four of them absolutely did a fantastic job. Recently approved are Georgia, New Jersey, New Mexico [...]
Just three days after releasing 0.5.2 I’m repenting and reverting a bit with a 0.5.2.1 patch. This removes the renaming prompt at the main installer. Based on a bit more testing and user feedback I realize adding that feature at that point was not the best idea. In the future, installing [...]
Recently I’ve seen a good bit of discussion regarding 32bit vs 64bit installations of Ubuntu. We’ve even had long conversations at the office on the matter as well. For a long time I’ve simply installed 32bit on my Core2Duo machine, even though it supports the 64bit installation. I just didn’t see a [...]

At our last meeting we discussed some of the ideas from the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit, part of which being trying to [...]
I’ve been troubleshooting some oddities on my machine this afternoon and one thing I’ve done to try and find some conflicts is remove some often unneeded kernel modules. I thought I would outline quickly how to disable and permanently remove the bluetooth module for those that don’t use it. I realize I don’t think I’ve [...]
This is an attempt to document the steps I needed to take to install VMware Server 2.0 beta now available for download. Please note that this is beta software from VMware and this should also be considered a beta tutorial. I have not tested these steps to any great degree, but its my [...]
I found a really quick fix today for disabling ipv6 completely on Ubuntu 7.10 (not yet tested on previous versions). This might be of interest to some of you that have had networking problems, as I’ve heard disabling ipv6 at least within the browser has been a help here. This tutorial will disable [...]
Please consider downloading the latest version of folding instead.
I spent a few hours this evening wrapping up a few fixes for folding. Based on user feedback I have made the script a bit smarter regarding testing for required components. It also adds an option to change the username and team at installation. [...]
