<p>After a reboot, all icons on my desktop where displayed 2 times, although only one copy of each was "functional" in that I could drag it around.<br /> The bad duplicate seemed just to exist in the background. Searching the internet did not turn up anything of interest, so I grep'd the various settings that <em>gsettings</em> offers. My first idea was to set <em>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false</em>, which temporarily solved the issue, but only temporarily. After the next boot, the desktop was completely empty, so I set it to "true" again. </p> <p>The solution was <em>gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false</em>, which removed the "bad" duplicates and only left the clickable ones.</p> <h2>System environment</h2> <ul> <li>Debian 9.0</li> <li>GNOME 3.22.2</li> <li>Kernel 4.10.17</li> </ul>

<p>Today I took a look at <a href="http://qdpm.net/">qdPM</a> which describes itself this way:</p> <blockquote> <p>qdPM is a free web-based project management tool suitable for a small team working on multiple projects. It is fully configurable. You can easy manage Projects, Tasks and People. Customers interact using a Ticket System that is integrated into Task management.</p> </blockquote> <p>Installation was easy using the built-in installer, just configure the DB connection parameters and your're good to go. </p> <p>qdPM is highly configurable and distributed under the <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/OSL-3.0">Open Software License 3.0</a>. It's available in <a href="http://qdpm-ex.com/translations-pid-8.html">multiple languages</a>, written in <a href="http://php.net/">php</a> and uses the <a href="https://symfony.com/">symfony framework</a>. qdPM is a very mature product, I tested its 9.0 version. It's been around since ca 2009, but that was difficult to find out since I couldn't find a public repo).</p> <p>I did not look at qdPM in depth, but it reminds me of <a href="http://www.redmine.org">redmine</a>, although it lacks the SCM integration and wiki. It does however integrate forums, tasklists as well as issue- and time tracking. A huge plus is the reports section, where you can create various reports by just clicking them together.</p> <p>I was just curious and do not actually need another online project management software so I didn't keep it, but qdPM is definitely worth a look.</p>

<p>OK, so I took a quick look at various backup programs available for linux. This post is neither complete nor completely unbiased, as I already use <a href="http://obnam.org">obnam</a> and am quite satisfied with it. I wanted to re-compare some alternatives anyway, but the other programs didn't even fit my feature requirements.</p> <h2><a href="https://attic-backup.org/">attic</a></h2> <p>Gone unmaintained in 2015 and eventually <a href="https://github.com/borgbackup/borg">got forked</a> after <a href="https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/217">not accepting community contributions</a>. Needs to be installed on the backup server, too.</p> <h2><a href="http://dar.linux.free.fr/">dar</a></h2> <p>No deduplication available and you have to rotate the backups yourself.</p> <h2><a href="https://github.com/bup/bup">bup</a></h2> <p>Citing from bup's website:</p> <blockquote> <p>'bup restore' can't pull directly from a remote server.</p> <p>bup currently has no way to prune old backups.</p> </blockquote>

<p>In case anyone needs this, here’s my (quite minimal) kernel config for my Lenovo T400. Please note that IPv6 is not configured.</p> <p><a href="https://hz6.de/config-4.4.0-nigge1">config-4.4.0-nigge1</a></p> <p>This kernel works flawlessly on my venerable Lenovo T400.</p>
