Auf F!xmbr wurde obiges Bild veröffentlicht. Den satirischen Zusammenhang zwischen Harry Potters Erzfeind Voldemort und dem Schreckgespenst der SPD, Oskar Lafontaine herzustellen, finde ich sehr gelungen.

Warner Bros. Entertainment besitzt die Rechte an den Harry-Potter-Filmen. Und hat darum gebeten, dass Herr Voldemort nicht im Zusammenhang mit einer Partei genutzt wird. Kunstfreiheit? Nö.

Chris von F!xmbr ist der Bitte nachgekommen, schließlich ist ein handfester Rechtsstreit mit einem Medienkonzern unbezahlbar. Und hat gleichzeitig eine lesenswerte und sehr besonnene Position zu solchen Auswüchsen von Medienrecht bezogen:

Und mir ist einmal mehr bewusst geworden, dass der Fair Use nicht nur durch maßloses Filesharing aufgekündigt wurde, sondern ebenso durch das Verhalten der Rechteinhaber. Es wird Zeit, dass das Urheberrecht an die Lebenswirklichkeit angepasst wird – zu dem gehört das Internet genauso wie ein Umdenken auf beiden Seiten.
(F!xmbr: er Tag an dem Harry Potter starb)

Die Figuren aus der Harry-Potter-Welt sind Teil unserer Kultur geworden. Das bedeutet, dass wir ins Kino rennen, um uns neue Geschichten über sie erzählen zu lassen. Es bedeutet aber auch, dass wir sie zum Teil unserer Diskurse machen – ob das Warner nun passt oder nicht.

Vous donnez “ze” astuce !

Si comme moi vous avez eu la prétention de pouvoir installer Linux comme un grand sans l’aide de personne et que (toujours comme moi) vous vous êtes lamentablement foiré comme une merde (n’ayont pas peur des mots). Et que cela vous a causé plein d’ennuis (sic), voila les étapes à suivre pour se débarrasser totalement de cette OS pourris “for ever and ever” !

Step n°1 : télécharger “windows CD recovery” ici.

Step n°2 : Graver l’image .iso sur un CD avec CDburnerXP téléchargeable ici.

Step n°3 : Supprimer Linux sur la partition ou vous l’avez installé (Panneau de configuration>Outils d’administration>Gestionnaire de l’ordinateur>Gestion des disques>Clique droit “supprimer le volume”.

Stepn°4 : redémarrer le pc en bootant sur le CD nouvellement graver avec CDburnerXP et contenant donc Windows CD recovery.

Step n°5 : Repair your computer>Command prompt>écrire la commande suivante :” bootrec.exe/fixmbr “, ça dégagera Grub (qui il faut l’avouer fait vraiment c**** XD)

Step n°6 : reboot et enlever le CD. Et voilà c’est fini ! Magique, il boot tout seul comme un grand sur Vista et en plus vous avez viré Linux complètement Et vous ne le réinstallerez plus jamais

Si vous n’avez pas compris une étape poster un commentaire, je vous répondrais

Sinon le mot de la fin : Mac4Ever (and ever)

If you have installed the Windows 7 Release Candidate in dual boot alongside Windows XP, you may eventually for whatever reason wish to remove Windows 7. Today that is exactly what I had to do. First I will tell you what did not work:

What did not work was what may be considered the “usual” way to get rid of the second OS. I began by deleting my Windows 7 partition. The Windows XP install CD is capable of this, but I used a GParted Live CD. GParted is a free Linux based utility that allows not only adding and removing partitions, but resizing as well. I opted to expand the Windows XP partition to fill the entire hard drive.

With Windows 7 gone, I rebooted the machine off the Windows XP CD. When prompted, selected “R” to enter the Recovery Console and ran the fixmbr command to rewrite the boot sector.

Now here’s what happened…I rebooted and found myself facing the Windows 7 bootloader despite the fact that Windows 7 no longer resided on that system. I ran a search on Google and found that I was not alone in XP failing to restore its bootloader after a Windows 7 – and apparently sometimes Windows Vista – removal. I could still boot into XP by selecting “Earlier version of Windows” from the boot menu, but who wants to do that?

I would strongly recommend a small, free Windows utility called EasyBCD from NeoSmart Technologies. Once installed all you need to do is click on “Manage Bootloader”, select “Uninstall the Vista Bootloader” and click on “WriteMBR”. That’s it! The Windows 7 (or Vista) bootloader will be removed and you will be operating exactly as you were before dual booting.

1. If you want to return to windows XP after removing Vista or Win 7 and XP was installed on its own initially, you have to reinstate boot.ini, as follows:
- Boot from the XP CD and select the first repair option (R) which will take you to the Recovery Console.
- Type fixmbr and press Enter.
- Type fixboot and press Enter.
- Restart the computer.

If asked, type Y to the continue message.

2. If you want to return to Vista after removing another version of Vista or Windows 7 and the one you want to keep is the one that was first installed:
- It is much easier than returning to XP. Download EasyBCD, scroll down click here and get the instructions click here Just go to the Add/Remove Tab.

3. If you want to keep an operating system that was installed as a second system, it’s more complicated and you will have to post here which systems you have and what partitions you have.

If you decided to remove your boot manager and use standart boot loader which just load OS from the primary partition  you should rewrite Master Boot Record (MBR) on your master hard drive. To do this having only Windows XP and it’s Install CD just do folowing steps:

1. Boot from Windows XP Instalation CD
2. Select “Repair current instalation with recovery console” (or smth like this )
3. In repair console type “fixmbr” and answer ‘Y‘.
4. Type ‘exit’ to reboot computer.

Congratulations! Now you have the fastest and simpliest boot manager in the world!

～～トリプルブート手順～～

まず始めに使ってるパソコンがメーカー製品ならばリカバリディスクを作成しておいてください。

次にubuntuをLiveCDで起動し、パーティションエディタを起動。
ハードディスクを3つのFAT32プライマリパーティションとして分割。
ubuntuを終了。

Vistaをいれて起動しパーティション2にインストール。
Vistaを終了

OSX86を起動しパーティション3にインストール。

OSX86を終了。

ubuntuをパーティション1にインストール。
ポイントは最後の段階で拡張ボタンを押してGrubのインストール先を(hd0,0)に変更すること。
（スワップは作成してませんが必要ならば拡張パーティションを作成しその中に用意するといいでしょう。）
Ubuntuを終了。

次に起動するとubuntuが立ち上がってくるので端末から
# sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
下記を最終行に追加

これでトリプルブートが完成です。

この方法だと始めにブートフラグが立っている(hd0,0)にあるGrubが起動し

ubuntuを起動するならそのまま起動、
VistaならMBRと連動した(hd0,1)からWindowsブートマネージャーを起動しVistaを起動、
OSX86なら(hd0,2)からdarwinブートローダーを起動しOSX86を起動

といった形になっています。

OSX86を起動するとOS選択画面の待ち時間が気になるかと思いますのでその場合は下記を実行するといいです。

ライブラリ/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plistをデスクトップにコピー
デスクトップのcom.apple.Boot.plistをテキストエディタで開き
<string>*</string>を1に変更。
変更した物をライブラリ/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/へコピーする。(認証)

これでdarwinブートローダが起動しても1秒で画面が消えるようになります。
stringを0にしてしまうとメンテナンスなどで弊害が生じるのでおすすめできません。

MBRs (Master Boot Records) can be a pain in the butt when it comes to Windows, Ubuntu, and switching between the two. If you delete the Linux partition whilst using GRUB, you have lost your ability to boot. I did that a couple days ago and it took me about 8 hours to fix my laptop (Alright, I could of done it in 1 but I wasn’t interested in reinstalling Ubuntu). Turns out Super Grub Disk isn’t all it ought to be (Still having to do with the fact my computer was having errors burning CDs with InfraRecorder, and it wreaked the disk to the point where I stuck it in the drive and nothing would open -> CD DoS Attack?) and I eventually had to give in and use UNetbootin to try it. I tried a bunch of the bootloaders that UNetbootin had to offer, still little luck. They either locked, or said they were booting and weren’t. After a while, I just gave up, installed Ubuntu, and fixed the problem from inside Vista (Fixmbr anyone?). After all this I realized, all it takes is some idiot to run that program wrong, and that computer is unbootable until you want to pay to fix it and really, who has that Microsoft restore CD, manufacturers just include that annoying restore program with no repair functionality?

So if someone were to buffer overflow something, they could run a program with similar functionality that wipes the mbr. I actually think that program can do that! So is there a solution to this problem? I say smarter bios that can read partitions and boot them without a pesky MBR. Or a MBR that can only be overwritten by a program made by the HDD manufacturer (Trustworthy people I say!).

With this comes a bigger issue. With a ruined MBR, your computer is still there somewhere, waiting to be awoke. If you destory the file tables, you’ve lost data. Hmm, couldn’t we implent these in a way that can’t be easily exploited? Come on Micrsoft, people hate you. When they read this, you may have an issue.

If you have already see my blog, you have already noticed that I have written an how-to several months ago about recovering grub bootloader with Vista and XP. Well, I have recently have to play a little more with this and I want to share with you about the way I have finally manager to get it working (back). Of course, fell free to comment this post if you have any question or suggestions.

I have to tell you about my recent issue with grub and the way I have manager to get it back as long as my different entries for my different OS. The issue happened to me several days ago and took me 1 week to solve.
For for information I have 2 sata controllers on my pc and 3 disks

• Controller 1 : a Promise SATA TX2PLUS controller
  • Disk 1 : 3 OS (XP, Vista and OpenSuse)
    • Default boot loader is grub from where I have one entry for each OS
    • Partition 1 : XP
    • Partition 2 : Vista
    • Partition 3 : Extended
      • 1 partition for the swap
      • 1 partition for /
  • Disk 2 : some data
• Controller 2 : Internal Silicom Image SATA Controller
  • Disk 3 : some data

All was working like a charm for several months now since I had to burn some data on a cdrw. I don’t remember the brand of de CDRW.
One inserted, I have the surprise to see that my brand new cdrw was not clean nor empty but have some data in it!! I had then open it in Explorer (I was working with XP at this time) and found an application called InCD Easywrite.

I do not really now what was that. The text displayed tell me that I have to install the InCD application so my DVD/CDRW burner can manager the CD MRW format… See here  for more information about this format.

I hadn’t take the time to google what was that application nor what the CD MRW format was.

Supidly, I  clicked on the setup file and install the program. At the end of the setup, it prompted me to reboot which I have agreed and…

Got this:

bootmgr is missing

I have immediatly try to find some fix about this issue with this application on the Internet with no luck. At that time, maybe because it was late in the evening, I started to play with different solutions found on the internet and some tool that I have in my admin kit (like SuperGrubDisk or other tool to recover the MBR of my disk). I have to confess that I have not took the most professional way to solve this issue.

For what I remember, I have tried the following:

• Boot the OpenSuse DVD and use the repair tool
  • The operation was successfull but after the reboot, Grub has no color at all and all the entries seems not functionnal at all
• Try some advanced options with SuperGrubDisk with no luck
• Try to reset the MBR with a clean one and try again the OpenSuse repair tool, no luck
• At one point, even if Linux could be booted from Grub, Vista and XP entries gave me those errors.
• I remember that I have played with the testdisk utility and cleaned my MBR several times.
• I remember also that I have tested different combination of howto with supergrubdisk and its brug repair tool.
• I have also played several times with OpenSuse repair option to try to reinstall my grub bootloaded.
• At one point, I have tried to reinstall Grub but after a reboot, it did not appear anyway

The best that I can have is a bad grub that can’t boot anything.

I have finally take several minute to think about the situation and try to find a logical way to solve my issue.

What I know for sure is that I hadn’t lost any data: I have booted with some linux and xp live cd (yes there are some! see below) and all my partitions are there with their data. So I know that only the MBR and the boot part of the parition are lost.
Ok. I remembered that several years ago I have used the repair tool of XP and Vista to restore there bootloader (the repair console in XP and the startup repair tool when you boot the Vista DVD).

I decided to give a chance to the Vista repair tool to, at least, have one OS that I can boot.

I have tested the automatic repair and also some manual commands like those : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392

But I still have some major issues like those boot messages:

BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

I have try several repair attemps with vista and have those different errors:

• Status: 0xc000000e; \Windows\System\winload.exe “could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt:.” – status: 0xc000000e.
• Some errors when I choose the XP options in Vista boot menu :
  File: \Boot\BCD
  Status: 0xc000000e
  Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
• For what I remember, I had also the Status: 0xc000000f error

Ok… At this point I am thinking about using XP repair console to repair my MBR and have at least one OS that can boot.

Unfortunatly, when I booted the XP cd to have the recovery console the install does not show the option at all and ask me instead if I want to install a fresh copy.
But…
One thing that I have noted is that the display order or the C:, D:, E: drives is bad, like the C: drive is listed not as the first drive in the list but in the second choice.
Also, When I have tested my OpenSuse repair grub option, I have see that in the advanced options, the system offer me to install the grub not on the primary disk (sda) but on the other disk (sdb) which make me think that the different OS that I have try to repair all thinks that my default disk (so the disk where the mbr should be repaired) is not the primary but another of my 3 disks! So the disk/partition sequence/order is not good at all.
Instead of playing with the different combination of disk and controller, I have decided to plug only the correct hard drive, meaning, the one with my 3 OS and unplug the others. But just before this, I have make sure that my disk is really bootable, so:

• Step 0 : Boot with systemrescuecd and check with gparted tool that my disk have the flag boot set.
• Step 1 : Unplug any other disks that you may have and have only the disk with your different OS

Now, I have only my controller 1 and my disk 1 with all my OS on it.

Fine. now let’s recover XP boot.

I have booted with my XP cd, give the drivers and … no recovery console option! Well, I don’t know why the option was not there but I know that I have no really an easy way to get it back.

But, I have found UBCD4WIN (Ultimate Boot Cd 4 Windows). Based on BartPe, you can create an XP live cd with different tool very usefull on it. For me, the most important part was to have a recovery console to play with and have access to my XP partition.

To create it, you will need to have access to an original XP CD (but there is not need of the insall key). Just have you XP CD, a blank CD and just follow the wizard (note : see below to have the mass storage drivers loaded with the recovery console).

• Step 2 : Check if you can you can use the XP CD recovery console recovery option or use UBCD4WIN. then recover the XP boot

Once booted, choose the recovery console option. From there, you will have to choose which windows you want to access (in my case I have 2 windows, one is xp and the other one is vista) and then enter for admin password (forgot it? ubcd4win have a tool to change it)
then you can use fixboot and fixmbr and reboot

• Step 3 : Use fixmbr and fixboot to recover your XP boot

At this point you should have an xp running. cool.
But what about vista and linux?
Well we know that now the only MBR that need to be fixed or updated is the disk currently plugged.
So i have booted my opensuse dvd and use the repair option. I told it to re read the configurtion from disk and save all the stuff.
After a reboot, my grub is there! and I can boot xp!.

• Step 4 : Recover your GRUB bootloader with OpenSuse (or tool with your Linux distro)

Ok, but about Vista?

Well, if the MBR is correct then the only thing needed for vista is to repair the boot partition.
Let boot the Vista DVD and use the command prompt in the recovery option.
from there use bootrec /fixboot, reboot and then grub should be able to boot linux, xp and vista

• Step 5 : Boot your Vista DVD, access the command prompt of Vista repair option and use bootrec /fixboot

Tada! Now I can plug my other hard drives. But …

• Additional step : Fix Vista issue with swtiched drive letters

I have noticed that when Vista booted, some strange errors appears at login time and also I saw that Vista think that my C: drive is actually E:!
For some reasons, Vista seems to be confused about the fact that I have unplug some drive and now it was completely lost about the different drive letters order (I really have to check how Vista can switch from his boot driver lettre to C when it has finsihed to boot…).
I have followed those steps 
http://leghumped.com/blog/2007/01/09/change-drive-letter-on-a-boot-device/
Then reboot Vista 1 or 2 times and all show be fine for this OS.

• Additional step : Finalize your Grub options

Here, I have only modified the name of the entry (Windows XP, Vista) and add also the option 0×317 to the Opensuse boot option to be sure that I boot in a ‘graphical’ environement like it was before.

Here is a list a tools that I have used:
- UBCD4WIN (http://www.ubcd4win.com/). See note below for recovery console mass storage drivers in UBCD$WIN 3.20.
- Your Windows XP CD (sp2)
- Your Vista DVD
- Systemrescuecd (http://www.sysresccd.org/) for its gparted tool
- Opensuse 11.x (or any livecd distro used to install grub)

Other tools that can be usefull:
- SuperGrubDisk (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/)
- Fedora or Ubuntu Live CD (fedora.org, ubuntu.com)

I will post some update as soon as I can found more detail informations about the different tools involve like the bootsect option in the Vista repair option.

 Note about UBCD4WIN and mass storage drivers in recovery console:

From a post in the UBCD4WIN forum:

MassStorage drivers plugin dosn’t support Recovery Console yet. You may create a plugin yourself.

• First copy file (UBCD4Win)\plugin\DriverPacks.net\MassStorage.inf to MassStorageCMDC.inf
• Edit file MassStorageCMDC.inf, use header section
  [Version]
  Signature=”$Windows NT$”[PEBuilder]
  Name=”# DriverPacks.net – MassStorage – Recovery Console”
  Enable=1[WinntDirectories]
  a=”CMDC”,2[SourceDisksFolders]
  MassStorage\wnt5=a

  [SourceDisksFolders.2600]
  MassStorage\wxp=a

  [SourceDisksFolders.3790]
  MassStorage\w2k3=a
  

• Next replace all “txtsetup.sif” with “cmdc\txtsetup.sif”
  Example line :
  “cmdc\txtsetup.sif”,”SourceDisksFiles”,”VMSCSI.SY_”, “1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4″

If you update MassStorage.inf in future, then update MassStorageCMDC.inf too.

Ref : here

Update:

You may encounter the following issue. From Grub, you can boot XP and Linux but Vista display the error message below:

File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000034 (0xc00000e or 0xc00000f)
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information

And, when you try to repair your Vista installation using the Vista DVD repair options use the rool bootrec/scanos :

Total identified Windows installations: 0

Here is the steps that I have followed to fix this issue.

• First ve sure to have the bootsec utility on your Vista, XP drive or on an USB drive (it supposed to come with the Vista DVD but you can find it with some tools like EasyBCD, anyway be sure to have it somewhere accessible from the Vista Repair Console)
• Boot with the Vista DVD
• Open the Repair Console, then the Command Prompt
• Identify your Vista drive letter and your XP driver letter (if you have it installed)
  For me Vista is on the E: drive and XP on the C: drive
• On the XP partition be sure that you have no C:\Boot folder. if you have one, make a backup and then remove it
• On the Vista partition, be sure that you have a backup of the E:\Boot folder and then delete it
• Using Bootrec, do 
  • bootsect /nt52 c: (so the XP partition will only boot XP)
  • bootsect /nt60 e: (so Vista partition can boot Vista)
  • bootrec /fixboot
  • You may have to reboot and go again in the Vista Repair Console
• Now, bootrec /scanos should tell you that it has found 1 Vista installation
• Try bootrec /rebuildbcd
• Now for some reasons, the BCD file is located on the C:\ so if I reboot now, the Vista bootloader will again says ‘The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information’. So, move the file C:\Boot\BCD to E:\Boot\ (move C:\Boot\BCD E:\Boot\) and reboot
• Vista should boot now.

O malware Win32:MBRoot-G é um tipo de infecção que afeta a trilha MBR (“Master Boot Record”, que trata-se nada mais nada menos, do primeiro setor de seu HD, onde são salvos o gerenciador de boot e a tabela de particionamento do disco – informação pouco importante para a população mundial, mas que necessita de atenção neste momento delicado…).

A maioria dos anti-vírus, anti-spywares e anti-rootkits não consegue detectar a presença deste meliante intruso. Consegui detectá-lo apenas com o Avast (e olha que tentei Panda, AVG, McAfee, Symantec, Spybot, e por aí vai…). Mas o que ele faz? Este malware tem a capacidade de ficar tentando acessar páginas web com nomes randômicos, sem nexo, que não apontam para lugar algum, apenas para deixar sua conexão com a internet mais lenta. CUIDADO! Se você está notando que sua internet, que antes era bem rápida, agora está um tanto lenta, você pode estar infectado com o malware Win32:MBRoot-G!

Mas (porém, entretanto, todavia), a remoção deste intruso é um tanto quanto simples, basta ter em mãos um cd do Windows XP e seguir estes passos:

1) Você terá que colocar o cd do Windows XP no drive de cd/dvd-rom e reiniciar a máquina (ou ligá-la, caso esteja desligada).

2) Entre no Setup pressionando a tecla “Delete” (em alguns casos pode ser F2 ou F10).

3) Procure a aba “Boot” (nas placas atuais, nas mais antigas, você terá que procurar a opção Advanced BIOS Features) e deixe o cd/dvd-rom como primeiro boot (utiliza o “+” e o “-“ do teclado numérico ou o “Page Up” e “Page Down” para navegar pelas opções).

4) Aperte a tecla F10 para salvar e sair. A máquina irá reiniciar e dar o boot no cd do XP. Após carregar algumas informações (em uma tela azul), você será obrigado a escolher se quer ir para o modo de Recuperação, Restaurar a instalação atual do Windows ou fazer uma nova instalação. Aperte a tecla “R” para entrar no console de Recuperação. Irá surgir uma tela preta.

5) Deverá aparecer uma pergunta sobre qual instalação do Windows você deseja recuperar. Pressione “1” (geralmente é a única que aparece, se você tiver mais do que uma instalação na sua máquina, terá que verificar qual número corresponde à instalação que você quer utilizar) e depois “Enter”. Agora o console irá lhe pedir uma senha de administrador. Se houver alguma senha de administrador cadastrada, digite-a e pressione “Enter”. Se não houver, apenas pressione “Enter”.

6) Agora surgirá um prompt de comandos, como o DOS: “C:\WINDOWS>”. Digite “fixmbr” e tecle “Enter”. Após alguns instantes, ele irá lhe perguntar se você tem certeza que deseja efetuar a operação. Pressione “y” e depois “Enter”.

7) Assim que terminar o processo, digite “exit” e o micro irá reiniciar. Retire o cd do XP do driver. Agora você deve entrar novamente no Setup da máquina e voltar à configuração que estava antes, com o primeiro boot voltado à sua HD.

Quando a máquina iniciar novamente, você já estará livre desta praga ‘motherfucker’ que deixava sua internet lenta! Caso queira fazer o teste, deixe o Avast fazer uma busca em modo de segurança, e verás que o vírus Win32:MBRoot-G não estará mais presente.

Um abraço a todos!!!

Windows’a format attıktan sonra, artık yerinde olmayan Grub için, ubuntu cd’sinden faydalanmak mantıklı görülebilir. Fakat bunu disk bölümlerini formatlamadan, sadece bağlayarak (yani böylece /home dizininiz falan yerinde kalkacaktır) ubuntu kurulumu yaparak Grub u yerine getirmeye çalışmadan yapın. Değilse bilgisayarı yeniden başlattığınız da “loading from stage 1.5″ vs. gibi yazılar görmek yerine “GRUB” yazısı görebilir, ve öylece kalırsınız. (hem şaşkınlıktan, hem de 2 sisteminde açılmamasından ötürü) Daha sonra mantıklı olan yolu denersiniz yani live cd ile konsoldan

sudo grub

find /boot/grub/stage1

2. komut sonrasında “(hdx,y)” seklinde bir çıktı alır ve işleme devam edersiniz.

root (hdx,y)

setup (hd0)

quit

Ben şimdi oldu dedim fakat, maalesef işe yaramadı. Ama sevgili dostum, sait’in (http://www.mehmetsaityilmaz.com)  söylediği şekilde WinXP cd’sinden kurtarma konsolu ile mbr’yi yeniden windows üzerine aldıktan sonra grub’u yukardaki düzgün yöntemle tekrar yükleyince sorun kalmadı.

Peki Mbr’yi nasıl tekrar yazıyoruz?

Önce WinXP cd’si ile kurtarma (recovery) konsoluna düşüyoruz. Sonra ise

fixboot C:

fixmbr

bootcfg /rebuild

komutlarını veriyoruz. fixmbr komutu sonrasında çıkan soruları “e” diyerek onaylıyoruz. Hepsi bu kadar.

René auf Nerdcore regt sich gerade in einem wirklich lesenswerten Beitrag “warum Blogs in Deutschland funktionieren” über Beiträge bei Fixmbr und Don Dahlman auf. Dazu muss ich einfach auch mal meinen Senf abgeben…

(F!xmbr trollt halt mal wieder, ist ja eigentlich nichts neues…)

René stellt fest dass die deutschen Blogs sehr wohl funktionieren und dass für ihn persönlich das Problem eher darin liegt dass viele Content liefern der keinen interessiert.

Ich werde mir mal ansehen wie man auf die Idee kommt das Blogs in DE nicht funktionieren..

Der Normalfall ist hier nunmal scheinbar der Ausflugsblogger der über seine neueste Reise berichten will, nebenbei etwas von seiner WordPress-Optimierung erzählt (weil er sich damit beschäfftigt hat) und grüße an alle anderen bekannten Alpha-Blogger rausschickt. Klo-Content alá “Mein Stuhl sieht komisch aus” ist nunmal nicht jedermanns geschmack (übrigens genau der selbe Grund warum ich aufgehört habe Twitter zu nutzen…) und Otto-Normal-Surfer wollen nicht wissen welches WordPress-Plugin wieviele Vorteile für den Blogger bringt denn Otto-Normal-Surfer SIND KEINE BLOGGER!

Wer also solche Inhalte vermitteln will erreicht genau die Leute die sich für das selbe interessieren: andere Alpha-Blogger die ebenfalls Klo-Content posten und dringend die neuesten WordPress-Plugins ausprobieren wollen, damit hat man dann auch gleich ein paar nette Verlinkungen und eine schöne Diskussion

Doch jetzt stellt sich also ein Teil dieser Leute hin und beschwert sich dass die Presse und die breite Öffentlichkeit sich nicht für genau den selben Mist interessieren? Was habt ihr erwartet? Ihr seid gut verlinkt aber ihr bringt keine Inhalte, welche Inhalte sollte die Presse denn aufgreifen?

Wer Links verteilen, neue Anwendungen demonstrieren, Code-Tuts posten oder jegliche andere Art für “die Allgemeinheit” interessanten Content liefern will, der kann das tun und im allgemeinen funktioniert das auch… der einzige Abstrich den man machen muss ist die Verlinkung von Seitens der Alpha-Blogger, denn die verlachen solche Blogs nur und wundern sich wer das lesen sollte.

René zeigt auch dafür einen netten Kommentar:

Ich mag das und mir macht diese Art zu bloggen jede Menge Spaß und im Gegensatz zu Dons Behauptung, Agenturen würden sich nicht für Blogs interessieren, kriege ich praktisch täglich mehrere Mails aus PR-Agenturen mit irgendwelchen Angeboten, von denen ich 99% nicht annehme (soviel übrigens zu Chris’ Blödsinn von wegen: „Der Nerdcore-Rene schaltet mittlerweile fast für den Hans und Franz Werbung und macht fast bei jedem Werbemist mit“. Er hat ja nichtmal die Eier, einen Trackback zu setzen, damit man auch mitbekommt, dass über einen geschrieben wird, aber so isser eben, unser Chris).

Evtl. sollte man darin ja mal den Grund suchen warum die Presse hierzulande kaum Themen aus deutschen Blogs aufgreift?

Es gibt natürlich auch in deutschland gute Blogs die hochwertige Inhalte posten, auch wenn ich an dieser Stelle weniger Nerdcore (Sorry René aber Youtube-Inhalte und Geek-Toys sind für mich interessant, für meine Leser und Kumpels evtl. auch noch, aber nichts was die Presse aufgreifen würde) sondern eher Blogs wie der von Fefe die sich auch mal mit Politik und Wirtschaft auseinander setzen und kurze Prägnante Aussagen kombiniert mit Links und Schlussfolgerungen zusammenstellen.

Oliver auf From Hades mal wieder einen langen Vergleich zwischen Apple-Hardware und anderen Herstellern gebracht. Unter anderem beschwert er sich über seinen alten HP Jornada 520 und Windows CE im allgemeinen.

Ich persönlich finde Windows CE als Platform jetzt nicht ganz so grundsätzlich unbrauchbar wie er. Mein alter Jornada (auch ein 520er) ist eigentlich auch nicht sooo schlecht. Klar, verglichen mit aktueller Hardware ist die genauigkeit des Touchscreens grauenvoll und die Leistung grottig, ganz zu schweigen davon dass das Ding keinen sinnvollen Browser mitbringt, IE zählt nun wirklich nicht, damit kann man sich nichtmal wirklich für PocketPC optimierte Seiten ansehen -.- (und davon gibt es nun wirklich nicht viele), auch ist es wahnsinnig hinderlich keinen brauchbaren internen speicher zu haben (16MB-System? WTF?) und ständig CF-Karten mit Speicher gegen CF-Karten mit Wlan tauschen zu müssen (das tut man nicht lange -.-)
Ich kann das Ding jedenfalls noch ganz als MP3-Player gebrauchen (Winampaq spielt sogar ogg-vorbis) und von Zeit zu Zeit mal ein GB(C)-Spiel drauf zocken. (Es gibt natürlich auch native Spiele, diese haben häufig die um Welten bessere Grafik und der Sound ruckelt nicht, aber dafür sind die wirklich guten etwas rar)
Natürlich kann das Ding auch als Organizer verwendet werden und von Zeit zu Zeit tippe ich den einen oder anderen Blogpost grob darauf vor. Auch ist das Ding nahezu unkaputtbar, meiner hat unter anderem schon einen Autounfall überlebt (hat jetzt nur eine Delle in der Front).

Wenn man bedenkt wie alt die Kiste ist, ist es eigentlich Beeindruckend was das Ding schon alles kann, neuere Geräte haben dann zwar auch noch einige Macken behoben die mich daran gestört haben (Internes Wlan, mehr Speicher, WPA-unterstützung, genug Speicher um Firefox oder Opera zu nutzen, echte Tastatur statt nur Einblendung, nur noch eine CPU-Architektur unterstützt statt dem ursprünglichen Chaos …) aber wirkliche Weiterentwicklungen vermisse ich auch.
So wäre es schön wenn man sich ein besseres Bedienkonzept hätte einfallen lassen (PocketNav ist noch immer unverzichtbar für mich) oder auch nur endlich mal den kleinen Schritt getan hätte, dass in 2Dimmensionalen Menüs auch etwas mit den Hoch/Runter-Tasten anzufangen gewesen wäre. Wozu zum Henker habe ich 4 Richtungstasten am Gehäuse, wenn ich immer nur Rechts/Links steuern kann?
Überhaupt hätte man sich endlich mal ein besseres Design für die Tasten einfallen lassen können, der Standardentwurf mit Steuerkreuz in der Mitte und Zusatztasten rechts und links davon ist imho so ziemlich die schlechteste Möglichkeit die man wählen konnte. SELBST BEIM NES LAG DIE STEUERUNG BESSER IN DER HAND!.

Kurz gesagt: Windows CE hatte durchaus einen guten Start und hätte durchaus ein Erfolg werden können, auf dem “Smartphone” scheint sich ja im Moment auch noch ein später Durchbruch einzustellen, doch hat man einfach viele Entwicklungen verschlafen und hätte besser auf Probleme reagieren sollen.

I think I had over expected to run something like hardy on my machine.I successfully downloaded Xubuntu 8.04 alternate CD and installation was perfect to the core and when I restarted “GRUB loading stage 1.5 … GRUB Error 18″.After some googling found out that the old-BIOS was incapable of handling large disk capacity and blah blah blah (I could run it thats what it said in short).They said I had to create a /boot partition as first partition to make things work out but that cant be done as I already have my windows at the first two locations.Asked a few people for help and hope they would have some work-around to make things work without having to tamper my windows.I spoilt my Windows Bootloader in the process so I had to put my WinXP cd and goto rescue prompt and do a ‘fixmbr’ and ‘fixboot’ to make get my windows booting again.

One more day in vain ….

Lo mejor para un día de resaca, leer:

Grub Loading

Error 22

El sábado desistí siquiera de intentar arreglarlo, pero pasé el domingo entero peleándome.

Estuve el viernes tocando las particiones del disco duro desde el Administrador de discos de Windows Vista. Tenía dos particiones de datos y las junté, es sencillo, intuitivo – sólo tienes que darle al botón derecho sobre Equipo y darle a Administrar, Administrador de discos – estupendo, sólo tiene un pequeño defecto, borra la partición de Linux, ahí es nada.

Total, que el pobrecito Grub al no encontrar la dirección de salto, se quedó ahí colgado, sin saber que hacer. Como yo soy así de previsora, y no tengo ni una mísera live CD en mi casa cogí todos los trastos y me fui a casa de Pedro, (con enlace para que después no te quejes), para disponer de una conexión decente a internet y de todos los discos posibles (Muchas gracias).

Como no quería tocar la partición de linux (que aparece como espacio libre para todos los administradores de disco conocidos) no pude reinstalar Grub, así que me conformé con reestablecer el arranque sólo para Windows – era eso lo que querías, ¿verdad, HP? – Como no podía hacerlo desde un disco de XP al tener un SATA, tuve que hacerlo desde Vista, para la próxima vez los comandos son éstos:

Bootrec.exe /fixboot

Bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Total, que mi linux ha muerto, irreconocible para todos los recuperadores que he probado. Así que si alguien sabe cómo recuperarlo, se lo agradecería, creo que no he perdido mucho (adoro tener copias de seguridad).

Heute gibts von mir mal wieder ein kleines Chatlog aus euIRC #Zanzibar. Wegen diverse Anspielungen sollte man evtl. Twitter-Bashing und den F!xmbr-Artikel kennen um mitlachen zu können.
