Archlinux, VirtualBox and USB support

I’ve been using Archlinux for some time now and I’m pretty happy with it.

I just want to comment how I got VirtualBox working with USB, just add the following line to your /etc/fstab file:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0

Now you should be able to connect USB memory drives, webcams, modems…and catch them inside the virtual machine within the guest operating system running.

Suspend to disk and ram in Debian and Ubuntu

I’ve discovered a nice package that can suspend the computer to disk and to ram, I’ve tryed it under ubuntu, kubuntu and Debian Lenny and it’s worked really nice every time I’ve suspended the computer.

http://suspend.sourceforge.net/

To install it:

#aptitude install uswsusp

To suspend to ram I just run:

#s2ram -f -p -m

To suspend to disk:

#s2disk

Some problems with OpenSuse 11

The system works great but there are some glitches I would like to be solved.

• Kopete shows a notification windows always a contact writes me, I’ve disabled every notification but it stills shows them.
• Flash plugin is not working under Konqueror4, it shows a gray square where the flash app should be, nothing more.

I’ve installed kopete from KDE3, it isn’t so beautiful but at least it is not so annoying.

Updated:

I’ve configured Kmail with IMAP Gmail, it works fine but when I want to download all mail to local for offline access (backup) it doesn’t download them all or it crashes configuring it, so I’ve installed Thunderbird and it works perfectly fine, I’m starting to think OpenSuse 11.0 is not a final version, it’s a beta in my opinion.
