Nomads Marocco project at LinuxDay
Sunday I went to a LinuxDay 2011 event organized near my city. There were presentation from the world of academics (Polytechnics of Turin and Milan) and the industry (Google, Canonical, …), but one talk was different from the others, in the sense that it was less technical and more human. A small girl approached the […]
Moving away from Ubuntu
July 10, 2011
I decided to abandon Ubuntu on my home desktop after the upgrade to 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I knew there were some things that I couldn’t like, but I didn’t know it would cripple the very base of the operating system. These are the things that went bad: The upgrade finished with obscure errors. can’t log […]
I’m seeding Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
April 30, 2011
Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal has been just released. I’m curently seeding the torrents of the installation images, I feel it’s a small yet effective thing to do to reciprocate the benefits I get for using Ubuntu since 2007, when the release was called Feisty Fawn.

MyHDL on Ubuntu Lucid

Last year I packaged it for Ubuntu Karmic Koala (here the blog post) and put it on my Launchpad Personal Package Archive (PPA) in order to be installed by everyone. Today I ported MyHDL 0.6 to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx; to install it, run from the command […]
qemu-system-arm segmentation fault in Ubuntu Lucid
May 23, 2010
A reader pointed out that after the last Ubuntu release all my tutorials break because qemu-system-arm exits immediately with segmentation fault. Luckily I found out, by toying with the options, that by adding the memory option “-m 128M” it works. I wanted to file a bug in Ubuntu, and the procedure is pretty simple and […]
