Using BioLux NV microscope in Ubuntu Linux
I recently got a Bresser BioLux NV microscope. Of course it is quite cheap and you get what you pay for. I’m still very pleased with it because it is a fun toy, and I’m not afraid to destroy something by not treating it properly. I’m also happy that the cam works well with Linux.
Ubuntu Linux 10.10 on Samsung NP-R540
I recently bought a cheap Samsung NP-R540 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500.
Ubuntu 10.10 installed smoothly. I encountered two problems:
- The comercial ATI-video driver did not want to install, so I switched to
the free driver and I’m happy since. - The Touchpad does not work well for me in multitouch-mode.
Automatic encryption of home directories using TrueCrypt 6.2a and pam_exec
This post describes how to encrypt the home directory of your users on GNU Linux with the help of TrueCrypt and PAM using the login-password as encryption key.
I wrote about Automatic encryption of home directories using TrueCrypt before. This time we’ll use TrueCrypt 6.2a. Futhermore we’ll use Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and we replaced pam_mount by pam_exec. For convenience this post will be selfcontained (ie. I copy redundant parts from the old one).

Figure 1:The file
In is used to produce InterM that is itselfused to produce
Out. Therefore Out depends directly on InterM and indirectly on In.I agree that most programmers and administrators know GNU make. Sadly, it is ignored by most others. GNU make solves a very common problem that everyone faces when processing more than one file with more than one programm. It keeps track which file has been changed and which files have to be regenerated.
Automatic encryption of home directories using TrueCrypt 6.0a
This post describes how to encrypt the home directory of your users on GNU Linux with the help of TrueCrypt and PAM using the login-password as encryption key.
I wrote about Automatic encryption of home directories using TrueCrypt before. This time we’ll use TrueCrypt 6.0a which is a bit different from 4.3a used last time. Futhermore we’ll use Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron instead of Debian Etch. For convenience this post will be selfcontained (ie. I copy redundant parts from the old one).

This post describes how to encrypt the home directory of your users on GNU Linux with the help of TrueCrypt and PAM. For convenience the login-password is used as encryption key. Continue reading
