Debian install on HP TM2t error

After trying to install #! (Crunchbang) Linux on a laptop, I received an error that wouldn’t let me boot into the system. Turns out all that needs to be done is append the following command your kernel boot line: intel\_iommu=on   More details available here in the bug report (where I found the answer): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/742296

How to Fix FreeNX pub key problem on #! Linux

/etc/ssh/sshd_config Controls these actions and has a line: AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized\_keys2 If not present in /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/ (ie mine was authorized_keys not authorized_keys2) then link one with the right name to it ie ln -s ~.sshauthorized\_keys2 ~.sshauthorized\_key I found a reference stating that authorized_key and authorized_key2 were historically different files denoting where public keys were stored respectively for SSH Protocol 1 and SSH Protocol 2. With Protocol 1 having some vulnerabilities, this seems to be more of a legacy issue. As an aside, I tried it and then swapped it out for x2go… so far it’s been a good choice given my technical requirements and lean financial constraints. Community version of FreeNX limits to 2 TS connections at once :(. Reasonable on their side but I needed more.

PHP5-Curl installed but not found by WP plugin Open Book

Setting up a friend’s WP blog on a VPS Debian box. Open Book Plugin wouldn’t work insisting that curl wasn’t present on the system (despite apt-get update && apt-get install php5-curl showing it’s the most recent). Loaded a php file to test if it was a recognized extension by creating a file named info.php in the web root for that site including the following code:<?php phpinfo(); ?>After pulling this document up in a browser, I deleted the file :). This pointed me in the right direction showing that the PHP.ini was deferring to /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/curl.ini I checked there and it was extension=curl.so as expected, but obviously it wasn’t being correctly located. Did the following as root locate curl.so and found it @ /usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so Commented out the current curl.ini file for a byte trail of my actions and appended extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so Then a quick service apache2 restart and we were back in business. Thanks to this blog for pointing me in the right direction: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/howto-install-curl-in-php-apache/379/
