linux
Having problems starting ubuntu-linux looking like this? To make the long story short: * Grub > Advanced Options > Pick the latest kernel in rescue mode * In the rescue-menu: * 1) network * 2) root > login to your root account apt remove --purge nvidia-* ubuntu-drivers autoinstall That solved it for me.

I recently switched from Mate-Desktop (Ubuntu Mate) to KDE Plasma including Bismuth as tiling Window Manager. Tiling is really a new concept to me and I really have to get used to it. But I do like it so far. But... from time to time my KDE Taskbar is disappearing
urho3d
I had the problem that I tried to run urho3d-headless on our server for a small game-instance-server-test but got some 'illegal chipset' core dump-mayham. Our server is quite of age. Good that Urho has some options for this out of the box. There is a cmake-option: URHO3D_DEPLOYMENT_
git
Just stumpled over a problem that I wanted to push a large file (400+mb) as part of a commit into our remote-repository but git ended up continuosly pushing 400+mb and then starting over without any progress. The long story short without knowing what why this fixes the problem:
qt-creator
All of a sudden (I guess after upgrading lots of libs in archlinux) qtCreator's (at the moment 4.15) debugging stopped working. I tested with gdb manually. Symbols were there and everything looked(!) fine. BUT not a single breakpoint was hit, and manully breaking ended up in the

Some linux distributions have vim's visualmode automatically been activated on mouse interaction. If you want to get rid of this: touch ~/.vimrc echo "set mouse-=a" > ~/.vimrc source ~/.vimrc Source: https://gist.github.com/u0d7i/01f78999feff1e2a8361#gistcomment-2698694

My appartement is under the roof and on really hot days I want to flee somewhere cold with access to my main-computer. Network access via dlan (with about 5-15MBit/s) As we are using Unity3D/Windows in my day-job,...using Remote Desktop (win-host <-> win-client) makes quite a

I actually can't remember when it was the last time I 'manually' patched a file. But it was quite common in the pre git-days. A patch basically is the same as a git-commit, telling the code where to insert what and where to remove what... As
linux
Since qt-creator(4.11/4.12) integrated support for cmake's source_groups, headers and sources are split in two separate folders. 'Header-Files','Source-Files' which is a bit annoying (not so annoying as the initial lack of subfolders...). Because of that I downgraded a couple

Ubuntu Mate: Since I have a 4k monitor I want to get both monitors to be scaled accordingly. I had to increase the dpi on the 4k which resulted in too big fonts on the HD-Monitor. Now I found a way to set this up right base on one forum-entry

If you need to get rid of device mapper entries, e.g. because the disc-device you are using was formerly an ceph-OSD. sudo fdisk -l ...
