no KMS to enable hibernate on Thinkpad with Radeon graphic

I had severe problems in getting my Thinkpad with Radeon 9100 graphics card to hibernate. But after some weeks of googling around I found to disable KMS to solve the problem.
To disbale KMS I either used:
boot command: nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0 or a modprobe option like:
/etc/modprobe.d/radeon_KMS.conf with contents:
options radeon modeset=0

I also found some instructions about disabling DRI which did not do the job but I append them for showing blacklisting of modules:

/etc/modprobe.d/DRI.conf with contents blacklist DRI
There might also exist a file called blacklist.conf alternatively which should include: blacklist DRI

depmod -ae
update_initramfs -u -k ‘uname -r’ -v to also disable DRI in initial ramdisk.
reboot and lsmod|grep DRI

dockstar – PS2 modding

Some time ago I bought a damaged PS2 to use the housing for a coming project and now the project is here. I installed a dockstar inside of the PS2 housing and pimped everything a little bit. Additionally to the dockstar there is a 500GB 3,5″ harddisk, a USB card reader for a 1GB SD card which I use for var and home directories and finally a picture frame for getting output signals.Please find below some pictures of the build.

dockstar – Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init-ro

The error “Target filesystem doesn’t have requested /sbin/init-ro” may come up when the USB stick was not cleanely unmounted. The simple solution is to do a file system check with fsck. To find the correct device to perform the fsck on just type fdisk -l which gives an overview on all attached devices and their structure. The file system check should follow as “fsck.ext2 /dev/sda1” for example.

Tine 2.0 Setup

To enable SMTP and IMAP support in Tine 2.0 the following points must be followed:

  • enable system account in the setup (Systemkonto verwenden)
  • the login name and password must be identical in Tine as well as on the email server

The setup of Tine 2.0 itself is straight forward and following the general installation guide.

Outlook PST file can not be closed

Once in a time I face the problem of still having linked a PST file in my outlook where the source is already moved to another place. As such outlook is not able to close the file anymore. The solution is just an “outlook /cleanprofile” issued at the command promt or under “Start”, “Execute”

Android Tools

adb is part of the adroid development tools and can b found in the directory platform-tools. adb itself must have enough privileges to get a connection to the USB connected android device, so normally it should be started as root.
On an amd64 system the compatibility libs must be installed #

apt-get install ia32-libs

And here is a link to the development platform at google:
