Hardy Heron and Lenovo x60s

Posted at 10:31pm on Friday, June 6th, 2008 by

Edgy Eft took me nearly a fortnight of painful evenings to get it installed on my x60s. Feisty Fawn took a couple of evenings.  Hardy Heron took all of 2 hours to get completely installed and configured.  That, ladies and gentleman, is progress… (well, that and a removable drive…)

Only problem so far? In Dolphin (the replacement for Konqueror) when you mouse over any XML or HTML file you get a nasty popup telling you that Amarok is incorrectly configured:

The desktop entry file
/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop
has an invalid menu entry
addAsPodcast

As always Google is your friend – a fix for the annoying Amarok addAsPodcast error popup in Dolphin in Hardy Heron.

Things you should never do

Posted at 11:42am on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 by

Never never ever ever alter your apt-sources.list to a new distribution and then sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude upgrade. The smart among you will have noticed the *upgrade* rather than *dist-upgrade*. It really really breaks your computer. To the point of needing a reinstall. Which, given it was the laptop that I had such trouble installing the first place is a real pain in the arse.

Just don’t do it kids.
