I have made some posts about the Compaq CQ61 with Nvidia G103M graphics card and how to speed things up and get the screen working. On Ubuntu 10.04 another problem have been bugging me for a long time – overheating! Time to post a solution.

Ubuntu 10.10, and a new poll..
Ubuntu 10.10 is soon to be released. What's your opinion? Does it still rock, will it kick Windows out the office door (again!), or is it getting more "Window-ish" with bugs and features going hand in hand? In my opinion Ubuntu is somewhere in the twilightzone right now. But as always, I'm curious..
Speed up application startup in Ubuntu 10.04
The Ubuntu community is used to the fact that every new version of Ubuntu is improved. With Ubuntu 10.04, I noticed that application startup time have increased. Time to solve that problem..
Ubuntu 10.04

Digikam segmentation fault fixed in Digikam 1.1.0?
Update: This post now have a step-by-step instruction on how to install the latest Digikam version on Ubuntu 9.10
It seems like 1.1.0 takes care of several bugs that caused the previous version to crash. You may download a .deb package if you are in a hurry. I tried to install it, but unfortunately the package breaks the "Showphoto". Whatever that means. I guess that the Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) package is too different to allow the OS to just upgrade right away. I'll look into this as soon as I have the chance. But I will also look forward to see Ubuntu 10.04, and hope that the new Digikam version is included in the repositories.
Spotify + Ubuntu
Following the instructions on spotify.com makes a smooth install, and Spotify have worked pretty well under Ubuntu with Wine. But since Ubuntu 9.10 I've had some problems with sound in Spotify. It can run smoothly for approx 15 minutes, and then the sound goes parkinson… Is it Wine? Is it Ubuntu? Is it Alsa? I … Read more
Ubuntu 9.10 and the DigiKam “segmentation fault 11” bug.
DigiKam is neat, and so is Ubuntu. After a fresh install I've got some serious bug in DigiKam though. After attaching the camera (EOS 400) and starting the download photos dialog, DigiKam crashes with a "segmentation fault 11". I have found very little about it on the web, mostly bug reports with no solution. I made some changes to the settings in DigiKam, and it seems that it might help. Update: Seems like theres no logic in what settings you have, but if you go to the preferences and do some "check" and "uncheck", it seems like DigiKam gets a little more stable.
