UahRai!

I was having problems to send files through Blueman Bluetoth in (x) Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10.

To solve this problem, I only add the ppa repository of blueman, geting some latest version of it.

In karmic, the process of including this type of repository, now is easier. Only this steps to include and update:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blueman/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

My bluetoth device is recognized in “lsusb” as:

lsusb
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Yes, is the cheaper usb bluetoth dongle.

This is a simple tip.

Today I upgrade my Gwibber. I am using the daily build repository. Yes, I know that I can get a unstable release hehe, but it’s interesting.

I used the upgrade command, after the update

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -V

And it proposes to upgrade Gwibber

gwibber (2.0.0~bzr433-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty => 2.0.0~bzr438-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty)

Esse post é um tutorial de como compilar o Ruby 1.8.6 ou 1.8.7 no Ubuntu.
Minha motivação para esse post foi, um projeto meu antigo que apresentou uns problemas com o Ruby 1.8.7. Alem de já ter ouvido que o Ruby Compilado tem uma performance muito melhor.

Inicialmente, removemos todos os pacotes do gerenciador padrão do ubuntu.

sudo apt-get purge ruby ruby1.8 rdoc ri irb libopenssl-ruby ruby-dev libopenssl-ruby1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev
