Fujitsu E360 a bust

April 7, 2009 – 10:59

So, my attempt to get the E360 on Linux, while successful, was an exercise that didn’t result in much. Suse wouldn’t install, Ubuntu wouldn’t boot and gOS wouldn’t boot either (maybe because it’s a Ubuntu derivative?).

I installed Puppy Linux and everything worked. The system just didn’t have enough horsepower to allow Pandora, so that pretty much killed that project.

Turning off the annoying system beep in VMWare running Linux

July 28, 2008 – 12:00

Searching high and low, I tried everything to stop by system from producing an annoying system beep from Linux running in VMWare Player.

It was simple:

sudo modprobe -r pcspkr

For a more permanent solution, add blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

See the Ubuntu tutorials for details.
