Ubuntu users: You need to update your SSH keys
Posted by Peng on 13 May 2008
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.

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

While looking for signs others were experiencing the same issue I came across the bug that has a fix for the issue. Read the rest of this entry »

Installation of Mac4Lin fonts has changed in Ubuntu Hardy
Posted by Peng on 25 April 2008
There have been changes in the newest version of GNOME that affects the way fonts are installed in Ubuntu Hardy, but thanks to wild_oscar in the Ubuntu Forums we have a link to information you will find very helpful.
Tombuntu has published an article entitled How to Install Fonts in Ubuntu 8.04 that will help you install the Mac4Linfonts, as well as any other font you need in Ubuntu Hardy.
Big thanks to wild_oscar for sharing that link with us in the forums.
