Subject: foxtrotgps: not suitable for spacecraft navigation
Package: foxtrotgps
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: normalDear Maintainer,
Trying to use foxtrotgps in the spacecraft leads to some interesting
glitches.
When date line is reached, "track traveled" jumps over the whole
world, and "your position" gets de-synchronized from point when the
red line is ( Read more... )

FlightGame
FlightGear is a very nice simulator, but it is not a lot of fun: page with "places to fly" helps. But when you setup your flight details, including weather and failures, you can kind of expect what is going to happen. FlightGame was designed to address this (not for me, unfortunately, alrough... if you ever debugged piece of software you ( Read more... )

Basics work, good. GSM does not work too well, which is kind of a problem. Camera broke between 4.7 and 4.8. That is not good, either.

If you want to talk about Linux and phones, I'll probably be on LinuxDays in Prague this weekend, and will have a talk about it at Ubucon Europe.

Documentation for audio on Linux... is pretty much nonexistent.

Notice!
There is a hidden pointer somewhere in this text to a page containing deeper information about using audio. You should have perfect understanding about the features described in this page before jumping into more complicated information. Just make sure you read this text ( Read more... )

Cache attacks: this is not good. Ok, so we have a rowhammer: basically very common, hard-to-work-around, hardware problem. Bits in your memory may flip. Deal with it.
And now, there are cache attacks, too. Users should not be able to spy on each other on multiuser system, but they very probably can. In particular, other users can tell which parts of ( Read more... )

Ok, without proper timing support, everything is really, really slow, but hey - I already got one usable photo out of the system :-).
Oh, and this is the reason to run Debian on your phone: https://citizenlab.org/2016/08/million-dollar-dissident-iphone-zero-day-nso-group-uae/ .

25 years of linux and yes, I know Linux is popular. Still it was unexpected when I was asked in public transport if I know about Linux. Man wanted me to help with X restarting due to bad graphics drivers... I asked how he realized... and he told me about my T-shirt. I realized I have UnitedLinux T-shirt on... Given SCO's involvement in that one... ( Read more... )

You encrypt a directory -- sounds easy, right? Support is in 4.4 kernel, my machines run newer kernels than that. Encrypting root would be hard, but encrypting parts of data partition should be easy.
Ok, lets follow howto... Need to do tune2fs. Right. Aha, still does not work, looks like I'll need to reboot.
Hmm. Will not boot. Grub no longer ( Read more... )

On the lists, I was told that I probably have broken wire inside my notebook. I believe broken wires simply don't happen, so... is there anyone with working gigabit on x60?

I was searching for a language to write the phone GUI with... python3+gtk3 is way too slow; 9 seconds for trivial application is a bit too much (on N900). python2+gtk2 is a lot better at 2 seconds. Lua should be even faster ( Read more... )
