Amarok 2.2.90 Most Irritating Bug #228014: File metadata not displayed If File Is Not Present In Collection
Well it’s no secret that I’m a music fan and love to keep my music organized, and neatly tagged. ( Well, if you didn’t – now you do ). I’d posted quite sometime ago on how to keep your music well tagged and organized, so there’s pretty much no way that my files wouldn’t [...]
Use MusicBrainz Picard ? Don’t update to KDE 4.4 RC (yet)
I love MusicBrainz Picard. It keeps my music collection organized, tags and renames them, and heck even fetches the cover art for (almost) all songs. Picard is just brilliant.

I replaced initrd.img file of my kernel version with “initrd.lz” file from [...]
Mounting file system created by Wubi in other Linux distros
I wasn’t aware of this tiny little thing - the filesystem in the file created by a Wubi install can be easily mounted as a loop device.
[How-to] Make nVidia settings persistent and retain the settings in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Nvidia Proprietary Drivers need nvidia-settings to set screen resolution and change other settings. In previous versions of Ubuntu and in other distros to make them permanent (used in every session) you click the “Save to X configuration file”. From Karmic on there is no xorg.conf by default!
As a result, nvidia-settings is not able to save [...]
