Fix Catastrophic Crashes on Your Rooted Android
Jan 9th
I have a HTC Droid Incredible running the custom ROM CyanogenMod 7.1.x. For the most part it runs great, but there are moments when it feels like the Armageddon of 2012 is happening to my phone. No matter what application I open it will frustratingly crash in mere moments. What I’ve noticed is the catalyst to this crash-o-thon starts with some sort of “google framework” crash. Makes sense, break the framework and everything else should be coming down with it. Once that happens I will start to feel the instability of my rooted device.
Enable MP3 Playback on Fedora 16
Nov 19th
I always struggle with quickly enabling MP3 playback on a fresh install of Fedora. There are legal reasons (which I’m not interested in) as to why Fedora doesn’t ship with MP3 support right out of the box. So; that’s what third-party repositories are for. Simply install the RPM Fusion repository and then install the “Ugly” GStreamer Plugin.
Enable SSH on Fedora 15
May 25th
Good ol’ Secure Shell or SSH — who would want to live without them!? To give you a text-book definition; SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let get down to business. You’ve got a fresh install of Fedora 15, with that wonky GNOME 3 desktop, and need to figure out how to enable SSH. This article is simply a barebones way of getting started. There’s a better method to make the SSH session more secure, but I haven’t researched that yet.In order to run some of the commands you’ll need to have the root account’s password.

Adding User Account to Sudoer File
May 1st
Ever wanted to run a command normally executed by the root user account, but didn’t want to log in as root? Hell ya! I know I have. The easiest solution to this problem is to add your user account to a file located at /etc/sudoers and you’re good to go. In this example I’m running Fedora 14 x86_64 (Gnome desktop) in a non corporate environment. The catch is you need to already have root access.
Whatcha’ Say!?
