I was just reading reports by people installing the latest Ubuntu release: Karmic Koala. Some reported no problems with the beta version, but massive problems with the release candidate. This is almost certainly caused by installing from a corrupted CD image. These errors can be silent, but will cause seemingly inexplicable failures.

Forwarding X11 sessions in Ubuntu
After installing a server, I often want to use X11 to do remote display on my desktop. The recommended way to do this is to use "ssh -X <server>" so that the X11 session is tunneled through the encrypted SSH session. (Substitute your server name for "<server>"; no quotes.)
(Note, you can also set X11 forwarding permanently on a machine-by-machine basis by putting commands in "~/.ssh/config"; see "man ssh_config".)

Elvis Costello ACL taping
Just got home from seeing Elvis Costello taping live in the Austin City Limits studio. Wow. Great show. It was great also to see Jerry Douglas (bluegrass dobro legend) in the band. They said the show will air November 7.
Local cartoonist Austin Kleon made a few sketches after the show.
