Yesterday, as usually happens, I was going through a video on YouTube, but a red unusual message popped up.

You can read this article and download the theme right in the CognoBlueMOD page of this blog.

CognoBlue MOD theme selector
This is a mod version of the CognoBlue WordPress Theme By Blogsdna.
I’ve just changed some tiny stuff here and there to fit my taste. As I previously wrote [ITA] I decided to edit this particular theme because of some top-class prerogatives:
- It’s light and fast
- It’s smart and easy-going for the eyes as well
- It focuses the reader’s attention on the content, not on the theme itself
Ok, it is not as terrific and wonderful as some other themes on the wordpress page, but I think it’s good, and just works, it’s widget ready and the CSS is clean and well organized!
So, before letting you download the archive, let’s see the differences between CognoBlueMOD theme and the original one.
[Linux] Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and its problems (the non-workin tabtab in the terminal and the wireless / wpa_supplicant with ipw/madwifi drivers)

As soon as I set up the new Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex release (which is still a beta, now), I found some problems here and there which needed to be fixed: among the others, the most annoying were the auto-completion TAB TAB used in the terminal, and some stuff concerning the Wireless Networking.

Here it is how I solved them.
The Tab/Tab thing ~ this was actually a problem I already had in the previous release of Hardy Heron, so I went back reading my old post, and now everything work, no pain!
The Wireless /1 ~ I’m using an Intel-chipset in-bundle wireless card, so I need the ipw drivers and firmware to use it. I haven’t had any problem before, but when I swtiched to kernel 2.6.27-7, the system couldn’t recognize the firmware. Fixing it was easy: just download the “new” firmware from ipw site and moved it to /lib/firmware. A fast reboot and here it is!
The Wireless /2 ~ I had an annoying problem with wpa_supplicant. I use it everyday to connect my laptop to the University network (ITA link), and the updated version found in Intrepid Ibex seems to argue with ipw drivers (actually it wasn’t compiled to work with them).
As long as I don’t want to compile my own version of Wpa Supplicant, I choose to download the newest working version, which incidentally is 0.6.0+0.5.8-0ubuntu2, so I pointed my browser to the page on Launchpad and downloaded the deb package, forcing the installation (it is actually a downgrade):
. If you type “wpa_supplicant” in your terminal you’ll find in the very first rows of the output that the ipw drivers are supported.
Now everything works flawlessly, which is what I’m used to expected from an Ubuntu Beta! :)
