Dealing with Debian Squeeze and Nvidia drivers

Arkold Thos — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:14:42 +0000

Heya, happy new year , for start with great stuff this year, I just Debian again after two years of using Kubuntu/Windows-lately, and I had few problems installing Nvidia drivers, with the repository drivers, so I wrote a little guide of how to make it with Nvidia site drivers – this guide is meant for working with 64 bits operating system and that you have closed the X system.

Downloading the needed stuff, nvidia driver, the kernel headers, changing permissions and installing it
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/190.53/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run

And depending of what desktop manager do you use, you will start it (gdm, kdm, w/e)
/etc/init.d/kdm start or restart (depends if it is running)
/etc/init.d/gdm start or restart (depends if it is running)

If it doesn’t run, just run
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Upgrading Wordpress

Arkold Thos — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:16:53 +0000

Common problem while upgrading Wordpress, lately when I click on automatic upgrade, I’m having problems with memory allocation, this upgrade (2.8.5), the same problem that I had on last versions of Wordpress. I had to download the diff file and patch it, now here the solution:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2354671 bytes) in ../public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/http.php on line 1331

How to fix the upgrade problem of Wordpress, first, you have to open your FTP client on the folder the blog is and open wp-config.php and add this under MySQL setting sections and you add this.

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

Click on upgrade and the problem got fixed! Good luck!

Installing Firefox 3.5 with Flash 64 bits on Karmic Koala

Arkold Thos — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:24:46 +0000

Well, to stay using applications cutting edge, you need to update from your old Firefox 3 to Firefox 3.5, and sometimes is a pain to make it work with Flash for first time if you haven’t used Firefox before. So here is the fast guide, you must have universe repositories enabled.

Installing Firefox 3.5, before something else

sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

After installing it, you will need to download Flash for 64 bits from Adobe Labs

wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz tar xvfz libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Then a fast command to move it to the right place

sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Now open Firefox 3.5 and enjoy Flash!
