May I see your ID, please?

Leonardo Gomez posted an image to his blog of some great Ubuntu IDs that look so good I’d like to get one for myself.

Thy’re heeeere!

Less than a month ago I told you that you could order your free Ubuntu Hardy LiveCDs. Guess what. In what must be a new record, I got mine yesterday!

Ubuntu users: You need to update your SSH keys

A bug was discovered that made the random number generator that helped create your .ssh/id_rsa key less random than it should have been. What does this mean in plain English? It means that if you created an SSH key with Ubuntu Feisty, Ubuntu Gutsy, Ubuntu Hardy or Debian Etch you need to update an important OpenSSL file and regenerate your key ASAP.

Can we get an assist pls?

Alberto Milone, the developer of the Envy line of programs foe automating the installation of Nvidia and ATI graphics drivers, is working on the next upgrade for EnvyNG and would like some help from testers.

WeatherBug finally shows some penguin love

When I was a Windows user one of the apps that I loved was the WeatherBug. There are some Linux tools for getting weather information, but none of them rise to the level of information provided by WeatherBug. but now I find out that WeatherBug is adding a Linux version to their Mac and Windows offerings.

Amarok Neon, blog bot, Do and new tees. Oh my!

I’m going to roll three bits of info I saw on Planet Ubuntu into one post, and I think I’m going to have something for just about everyone.

Woops! I missed one

My quartet of Linux links should have been a quintet, but somehow I had forgotten to flag a post I wanted to pass along. My bad.

A quartet of Ubuntu links

In the spirit of Nick Ali and Jeff Waugh’s daily Planet Ubuntu posts of links they’ve discovered in their surfing, I just went through my RSS feeds for the morning and have four links that I simply have to pass along.

Is Ubuntu freezing when you try to quit? I have a probable solution for you

When I re-installed Hardy recently I went through System > Preferences > Sessions and disable a number of things I don’t need running in an attempt to get this older, rather underpowered computer running a little better. Unfortunately I disabled one thing too many and my system started freezing on me when I tried to Quit (shutdown, restart, etc.). While looking for signs others were experiencing the same issue I came across the bug that has a fix for the issue.

A big thanks to Ubuntu contributors

As Ralph Janke points out on Planet Ubuntu, Thomas David had created an awesome thank you to everyone who contributed to Ubuntu Hardy. Awesome job, Thomas!
