Migrated from Debian 32bit to 64bit through dual boot
The desktop where I do most of my stuff is a Debian testing 32bit. Recently Google Chrome team declared the end of support of 32bit Linux distributions, and I decided to take the occasion to migrate towards a 64bit Debian. I read some guides around, some old, some with big warnings and disclaimers, some interesting. Ultimately I […]

March 1, 2015
My mother has an Acer Aspire One 522 netbook (as for the post title) and used it to surf the net and play some Facebook games… until it fell hard while it was on, and it wouldn’t boot any more: it would get stuck on the boot screen where you can tap F2 to enter […]

I changed card because my old XFX GeForce 7300 GS had a broken fan and it was time to let it go (before the hot summer). My desktop PC has a Debian testing installation, […]
Minidlna hangs on shutdown on Debian
February 4, 2014
I have a computer that keeps most of my media; in order to stream these media files to other devices in my LAN (such as the XBMC box in the living room) I use minidlna, which is a very simple “Digital Living Network Alliance” server. The first problem that I had is that minidlna is not currently […]
Debian Nvidia driver issue with legacy card, solved.
November 4, 2013
On my Debian testing (jessie) computer, I usually perform a weekly “aptitude safe-upgrade“. This desktop has an old Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS card, and I’m using the “nvidia-kernel-dkms” package to provide proprietary drivers. On the last upgrade, Debian decided to install new packages with “nvidia-legacy-304xx” in their name. Other than that, a message appeared during […]
