    # sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic
  2. append this line "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"

The Future Of Computing is Ubuntu Phone

By
As we are know, in the beginning of January 2013. Canonical announce their new project called Ubuntu Phone. From the beginning Ubuntu was just another Linux distro,  but now Canonical driving Ubuntu far beyond its beginnings as just another Linux distro into an Operating System that works on  television and even being  an android and iPhone competitor, Ubuntu is skating to where they puck is going to be. But, which such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go.

Throwing The Sun Tzu Baby Out With The InfoSec Bathwater

By
Steve Tornio and Brian Martin just published a  5,000 word rant  against anyone who dares utter the name Sun Tzu in connection with information security.

By
Tomcat production server sometime will hit the following java.la ng.OutOfMemoryException: PermGen space error. java.la ng.OutOfMemoryException: PermGen space     at java.lang.ClassLoader.de fineClass1(Native Method)     at java.lang.ClassLoader.de fineClass(ClassLoader.java:620)     at java.security.SecureClassLoader.de fineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124)  It’s usually happened when the Tomcat start and stop few times. It’s just funny, however you can fine tune it with some minor changes in the Tomcat configuration setting. By default, Tomcat assigned very little memory for the running process, the solution is actually quite simple. All you need todo are 1) create setenv.sh or setenv.bat (windows) 2) add this line if not already exist (depend on what os you are using)    Linux:      export set JAVA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx2g"    Windows       set JAVA_...
