Fix to problems with torrents not downloading with transmission on Debian unstable and Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

There is a problem on Ubuntu Jaunty and Debian unstable with torrents not downloading with
the default torrent downloader transmission. I’ve noticed in transmission’s configuration files
it’s configured to use a port for “Incoming Connections” with number 51413. Anyways my machine is
behind a router and has a local IP address and consequently is not accessible through
the outside world on that port. Therefore I had to configure my router to do
port redirect (port forwarding) of port 51413, that fixed my torrents download
issues on my Linux.

Configuring easy access and Internet keyboards on Linux (lineak)

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

I’ve bough a media keyboard yesterday, since I ran Debian I needed
a way to configure my keyboard. After some research online I found lineak .
Lineak does have support already for many Linux keyboards key sets.
However my keboard Delux K5201 was not supported. Thus I’ll now
follow the documentation to make it fully work with my Debian Linux.
Anyways surely the project will be helpful for many whose keyboards
are supported on Linux through lineak.
Seems that most of the easy access keys on my Delux K5201 kbd are workingcorretcly. 70% out of all the easy access keys are working out of the box.The keys that don’t work and are most vital are the “Shutdown Button” andthe “Mail button”.END—–
