X Windows for MS Windows

October 16th, 2008

The one I use is Xming but it is rare. Most often I prefer the integrated in Gnome VNC.

The reason I am posting this link is that sometimes I really need and want to connect to my desktop machine in this way but I cant find good software. So I decide that my blog is the perfect place to note this.

Everyday svn

October 2nd, 2008

I happy that I have worked enough with the svn to see its drawbacks.

One of the drawbacks is the speeds of commits.

The second one is that my repository starts to break often. here is how I repair it when this happends:

svnadmin repair /var/lib/subversion/public/payak

then don’t forget to change the rights

chown -R  www-data:www-data /var/lib/subversion/public/payak/
