Ubuntu Lucid has removed hal support which is required for (proprietary) Oracle VirtualBox to use local USB devices inside your VM. Until VirtualBox is eventually ported to the hal-less world you can start hal daemon before running VirtualBox as a workaround.
The solution is to get closed source free for evaluation and personal usage version of Oracle VirtualBox (you can use the package from the karmic repository), add yourself to the vboxusers group (if not already) and start hald in no daemon mode: sudo hald --daemon=no.
Use lsusb -v to get vendor/product ids if you would like to setup a filter inside VM USB controller properties so your local device can be auto connected when the VM starts.

I’m actually not killing the blog itself. Nor will I delete all the content. You see, I actually never planned to run a blog on this domain at first place. Long time ago, when I bought eccegeek.info, I had an idea to have just one page with my CV and that’s it. Then came bloga era. I’ve been thinking to change the domain for my blog for quite some time now. I just couldn’t find the right one. And the name is perhaps the most important thing for online presence. People like nice domain names they can remember without writing it down. I’ve been having quite some problems with my current domain. Is it with two "c"? No, wait. Two "e"? I play with security. I work with security. Security has became my preocupation. And when I say security I mean everything from server and network security to, what I find most interesting, human as a security risk. Human rights online, freedom of speech, free software… all very tightly connected with various aspects of security. So, before I reveal the new name for my website let me quote you a little story from our dear Wikipedia:"The Securitate (Romanian for Security; official full name Departamentul Securităţii Statului, State Security Department), was the secret service of Communist Romania. Previously the Romanian secret police was called Siguranţa statului (State Safety). Founded on August 30, 1948, with help from the SovietNKVD, the Securitate was abolished in December 1989, shortly after PresidentNicolae Ceauşescu was ousted.
The Securitate was, in proportion to Romania’s population, one of the largest and most brutal secret police forces in the Eastern bloc.[1] The first budget of the Securitate in 1948 stipulated a number of 4,641 positions, of which 3,549 were filled by February 1949. By 1951, the Securitate’s staff had increased fivefold, while in January 1956, the Securitate had 25,468 employees.[2] Under the regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu, the Securitate employed some 11,000 agents and a half-million informers.[1] (By way of comparison, as of September 2001, the CIA numbered about 18,000 employees.[3])" –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitate
Have you guessed by now? Yeah. I’ve bought myself so damn cool domain - sekuritatea.com :))) In two days period rehash.eccegeek.info will be out of service.. it’ll just redirect to www.sekuritatea.com. So, update your bookmarks and RSS readers on Thursday. I’ve got a lot of good stuff cooking for this "new" web site.:)

On the 16th of January the European Commission DG Competition reported that it had issued a statement of objections regarding Microsoft’s tying of Internet Explorer (IE) to the Windows Operating System product family. This action builds on a complaint originally submitted by Opera, a European company involved in web browser development. Free Software Foundation Europe welcomes the European Commission’s decision and offers its support in the coming anti-trust investigation. As stated previously in a letter to the European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes, anti-competitive behaviour is unacceptable, whether it occurs as ‘tying’ products with dominant market segments, or in circumventing standards and fair access. "Web browsers are becoming a critical platform for home and business computing," says Shane Coughlan, legal coordinator at FSFE. "The market previously failed to prevent unfair distortion of the desktop environment and we cannot allow such practices to be repeated." "It is important that no business in Europe is allowed to institute any policy of embracing, extending and extinguishing competition either through manipulation of interoperability information or through abuse of a dominant position by unfair tying and bundling of products," says Georg Greve, FSFE President. "Microsoft is a company that has previously been convicted of market distortion in the Work Group Server market, and we would welcome if the Commission also took up the antitrust complaint initially lodged in early 2006 by the European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS) regarding market abuse in other areas."

Upon upgrade of my debian machine on which the websites are running i figured that Typo doesnt really work well. After short investigation, i figured that the version of Typo that I was using failed due to the fact that my machine now has rails1.1 on which Typo doesn’t work.
Ok, no problem – I downloaded the latest Typo and replaced the code and everything. I first tried to upgrade the DB schema using the Typo upgrade manager (during configuration) but that was failing constantly. Instead, I dumped the db and went on with a clean db. After initial configuration of Typo (as you can see, it now works), I tried to restore the db contents from the previous installation – you can figure out yourself the result. :(
I will try to restore the previous articles as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will move on, like nothing happened.
