It looks like OpenSSH Keys generated on Debian derived distros (Ubuntu/Voyage etc.) are REALLY bad. I’m currently rolling out OpenSSL key updates as adviced on http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys.

One casualty of this update was my NX server using freenx. It just tells me that I can’t be authenticated. In the log /var/log/freenx.log it shows the following:

– NX SERVER START: -c /usr/lib/nx/nxserver - ORIG_COMMAND=
HELLO NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-71 OS (GPL)
NX> 105 hello NXCLIENT - Version 2.1.0
NX> 134 Accepted protocol: 2.1.0
NX> 105 SET SHELL_MODE SHELL
NX> 105 SET AUTH_MODE PASSWORD
NX> 105 login
NX> 101 User: shuerlimann
NX> 102 Password:
NX> 404 ERROR: wrong password or login
NX> 999 Bye

This post talks about the NoMachine NX Server, but gave me the necessary clues: http://lists.kde.org/?l=freenx-knx&m=116542288527396&w=2

The magic command for freenx from http://datakeylive.com
on Ubuntu is

sudo rm /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/known_hosts

This is necessary, as the SSH host key has been updated… Well, a more informative error message would’ve been nice, but I’m thankfull to the guys who produce freenx, anyway

I’m currently doing some webdesign for the Shisha distributor we get our Al Fakher Shisha Tobacco for Agrabah. It started as a clone of the Al Fakher homepage. It’s just plain ugly HTML!!! I realy hate this copy’n'paste code after doing a good while of Ruby On Rails work… Even PHP is nicer…

I’m running KDE4 RC1 as my main desktop for 2 days now. Only few crashes, so productivity is good. But there are many small bugs. And it’s not very fast/responsive. But this is at least partially to blame on all the debug code.

Quite happy so far! It’s shaping up! Please test!!!

Packages from Kubuntu: HOWTO
KDE Four Live: openSUSE based Live CD
KDE4Daily: full virtual machine image with efficient update mechanism to SVN head

Please report any possibilities to try out KDE4 the easy way in the comments section

Well, I’m multitasking heavily between project. I told you about my HL7 explorations. That project is on hold for a few weeks (due to my oscommerce setup for Agrabah and other projects). But here’s the link to some interesting opensource medical software: Elexis. It contains some HL7 importers and helps me a lot to see an actual implementation. Another helpfull source is the ruby-hl7 library. More later…

Long time no post. Well, I blame it on Agrabah. It the small oriental store in the NeudorCenter in Cham, Switzerland I opened up with 2 friends. Don’t go to www.agrabah.ch for now. The site hasn’t been updated since the opening on 8.9.2009

You’ll see some more posts in the next few days. I intend to use this Blog to make notes about my diving into HL7 (Health Level 7). I got a small project going that includes reporting cytological data from the labors system into the doctors. Stay tuned for more opensource medical blog blobs…

While Vista makes me shudder, this make me Wow!

Not scalling, not cropping, but changing the proportions while preserving the content of the image.

Maybe our lonely graphix warrior Zack or good old mosfet get crazy over this idea…?

Yeah… Keep it going…

[00:32] aseigo: wow, the oxygen stuff looks already pretty sexy

[00:36] looks nice, yeah..
[00:36] there’s some funny bugs, though, like how the oxygen widget style prevents drag and drop working properly

[00:36] aseigo: sure it’s buggy, but it’s good enough to end up in my monthly propaganda column

While Groklaw and some Microsoft guy tell us not to worry about it, other swear badly and tell nice stories, I’d advice to use Google and buy the official “Microsoft Linux” .
