vesamenu.c32: attempted DOS system call

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Dear Fedora dudes,

please fix your graphical boot screen in your livecds, normally working videocards get this message without any clear clue on what to do. I see that google doesn’t have good responses, so to help the world be a better place while you fix this bug, here’s the answer:

just type linux or linux0 and hit enter.

You are welcome dear googler.

Finding the crashers, use epiphany

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Finding those old crashers on a product is pretty easy if you have this smart bookmark:

this is a huge URL, bookmark it with right click since it has a %s in it

Just type the name of a product “epiphany”, and select the bookmark from the grey area of your completion popup, this smart bookmark will fill the name in that query hence revealing you a lot of bugs needing your love.

Hope it’s useful.
