ZSNES Broken in Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
I’ve just about had it with Ubuntu. The last three or four versions have introduced all sorts of breakage when installed.
The latest thing they’ve messed up is ZSNES. I just finished doing a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, only to find that the version of ZSNES in the repos is broken!
A quick workaround to this is to install the version for gutsy from:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/z/zsnes/zsnes_1.510-1_i386.deb
Then open a terminal and issue the command
# aptitude hold zsnes
To keep it from being overwritten by updates.
Long time no post
I haven’t felt like publishing anything lately.
In lieu of some real content, here are some funny pictures for you to enjoy!
How to list all currently installed packages in Debian / Ubuntu Linux
I’m trying to clean out my horribly cluttered email inbox and bring order to my life, and I came across this old note I had emailed myself.
This is useful for whenever you need to reinstall a server or when you are upgrading your Ubuntu release to a newer version with a clean install.
To quickly and easily print out all packages currently installed, just do:
dpkg –get-selections|awk ‘{print $1}’|tr ‘\n’ ‘ ‘
Winner of the 22″ Dell LCD monitor
Ok, first off I’d like to apologize since this is like two or three months late. In the past several months I’ve had to deal with an on again off again engagement, and some shakeups in my employment situation, and I’ve been a mess.
I’m back to blogging now though, so be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed so you don’t miss any updates.
Now without further ado, the winner of the 22″ monitor is “Robert”. Please email me your shipping info. If Robert does not claim the monitor in the next week I will draw another name from the virtual hat.
I’ll try to do another contest soon, and keep the next one on schedule!
Microsoft 30 years ago and today
The left photo above is now somewhat famous. It’s a picture of the Microsoft team in 1978, taken right before they moved their offices from Alberqueque to Seattle.
Thirty years later, the group has come together for another photo.
