back on the track

After 568 days, I have finally found the time and motivation to work on this blog. This is mainly due to the fact that I still received messages from people who are reading the outdated post.

First a complete update of the blog engine is necessary, but then soon the first post will be online hopefully together with the release of the two new OS Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10.

New topics will cover mainly Ubuntu, still on the Thinkpad x60, Linux Applications, Android (if i am lucky to get a new phone), web technologies(development & use), the Operating System War (Apple vs Windows vs Linux), some minor posts about my PhD work(which is about to be finished soon) and maybe a little personal notes from time to time.

 I haven't been following any Flash development lately, so there won't be anything new on Flash topics.

No Sound on my Thinkpad x60 (after resuming from Hibernate)

I notice that sometimes my sound was not working. But this seemed to happen quite randomly. This weekend I noticed that after I resume from hibernate the sound is gone, and it start to work again, after I made a suspend-to-ram(sleep). Then, I found a bug in launchpad, where it is suggested to change the following the HIBERNATE_MODE to platform in /etc/default/acpi-support. So, open the file(sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support), and change the HIBERNATE_MODE(HIBERNATE_MODE=platform). This resolved my problem. If you encounter a similar problem, and changing the HIBERNATE_MODE does not help, you could try to manually restart alsa-utils in the terminal.
