Exercice final de la migration : ramener la gallerie photo a la vie.
C’est fait.
Il reste a mettre 2-3 choses a jour avant de recuperer le temps perdu et pousser de nouvelles images.
Au programme, entre autres, une visite rapide de la region de Long Beach, en Californie.

Prenez note du nouveau nom de domaine, donc de la nouvelle adresse !
Un nouveau serveur a été livré et installé. Il n’est plus dans notre chambre, mais dans une véritable salle de serveurs en Région Parisienne.
C’est un serveur complet, loue, herberge, surveille, dans une salle securisee, avec de l’electricite propre et de la climatisation.
squamosa (c’est le nom du serveur) est l’une de ces boites anonymes
Dedibox fourni le service.
Les données ont été tranferées, l’email et le web fonctionnent. La gallerie photo offre plus de difficultées, mais elle va bientot revenir.

Le serveur hébergeant ces pages web est en train de rendre l’âme dans d’atroces souffrances…
L’email souffre aussi.
Une solution de remplacement est en cours.

Le site (blog et gallerie photo) sont en période de refonte totale de look. La gallerie va en profiter pour prendre quelques fonctionnalités supplémentaires. Les choses vont sans doute encore evoluer dans les jours qui viennent, puis se stabiliser avec juste de petites corrections par la suite. Ca fait déja presque 2 ans 1/2 que le blog est en place, un peu de frais ne va pas faire de mal ! Tout commentaire est le bienvenu.

Dec 31 17:59:59 derasa kernel: Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC
Quoi ? 23:59:60 ? 60 secondes ? Normalement on aurait du voir 00:00:00. Le cycle normal est …57-58-59-00-01… pas …57-58-59-60-00-01…
Bah alors ?
Alors on vient de voir passer une seconde intercalaire (leap second en anglais) qui ajuste le Temps Universel Coordonné (provenamt d’horloges atomiques) au temps astronomique (provenant de l’inclinaison de la Terre).
Merci l’Observatoire de Paris !
Tous les détails sur cette page.

Current Distribution: Ubuntu 7.04 “Feisty Fawn”
Notebook acquired on: Thursday August 11, 2005
This is my work notebook, provided by my employer. I’m dual-booting with XP pro (standard image), but spend 95% of my time using Linux.
I’m coming from the Debian world, so I’m quite confortable with Ubuntu, which I chose for its more polished desktop and more recent packages (kernel, x.org, GNOME, etc…). The Ubuntu kernel guys even managed to produce the first 2.6 kernel I tried that made my Firewire disk work for any period of time!
Everything works under Linux on that machine!
So I will not spend pages and pages explaining how to make things work from scratch, it would be quite useless. I removed all the info for the previous releases of Ubuntu and left only a few configuration specifics.
The Intel video BIOS is buggy and doesn’t have the 1400×1050 mode available by default. So, if you want to use the internal flat panel correctly, you will have to use a tweak to patch that correctly.
You have to use 915resolution, available in Universe. It comes with full complement of documentation, configuration files and startup scripts, even with an automatic mode.
Because I had already some legacy and I am running 2 screens and need to patch 2 modes, I have built my own configuration files and startup scripts. You do not need them, just edit the files provided by the package, but here are my configurations files, for information:
You will notice that I am changing two modes, one for the built-in screen, one for the wide 24″ external LCD.
Xinerama works! I have 2 screens: built-in LCD at 1400×1050 and a Dell 2405FPW 24″ LCD at 1920×1200 on the D/Port’s DVI port, both 24bits.
Then, in order to get the panel’s native resolution I had to use the following Monitor section, with a custom Modeline, like in the good old days…:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "2405FPW" DisplaySize 519 324 HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-76 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1920x1200" 154 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 EndSection
I came up with this Modeline after reading an article in the x.org Wiki. I only understood why it is needed and what it does when reading Tucker Sylvestro’s comment. Thanks!
Xinerama disables DRI, though, and it doesn’t desactivate properly when the laptop is undocked. I have kept a separate xorg.conf file for single screen/DRI.
This status is quite practical to know, especially at boot time, before X starts, in order to adjust its configuration with or without Xinerama.
There is no meaningful or consistant hardware difference between the two states that an lspci -vvv can show.
This is where the package read-edid becomes handy. It provides tools (get-edid, parse-edid) that can query attached monitors using DCC.
A friend (Thanks Guillaume!) created a startup script that will query for an external monitor and link the /etc/X111/xorg.conf file to the correct one (single or dual screens).
Copy the script to /etc/init.d/ and register it
$ sudo update-rc.d amidocked defaults 12
As root run the following command:
# get-edid 2>/dev/null | parse-edid 2>/dev/null | grep Identifier
and edit the startup file with the proper string.
You need to have generated the proper xorg.conf-something for single or dual-screen setups.
The startup script can be used for many other things depending on the docking status, or not… I extended the startup script to change the background, for example.
