Food for thought

  • I will not go in Linux World San Francisco 2007 this year because of Summer class in Graphic Design Foundation. I will manage to get contact via IRC.
  • I owe a review for adesklets. The stop gap I faced is the use of perl command which I am unfamiliar. I may consider to stop packaging it if there is another packagers willing to take over.
  • Working on mirror.fedoraproject.org, it will take longer as the goal is to make it W3C compliant. I will publish the template soon.

HP, Linux and ACPI

 Majority of HP hardware running on Linux and even Microsoft reported an issue related to a non-standard compliant ACPI. Notable message below repeats at least three times on the boot: 4.876549] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D128] at bit offset/length 128/1024 exceeds size of target Buffer (160 bits) (20190215/dsopcode-198)  [ 4.876555] ACPI Error: Aborting method \HWMC due to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20190215/psparse-529)  [ 4.876562] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.WMAA due to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20190215/psparse-529) The bug is a known for years from which Linux kernel team are unable to fix without the help of vendor i.e. HP.
