  25       <div class="body"><p>In April we
  26 <a href="Lets_make_a_Norwegian_Bokm_l_edition_of_The_Debian_Administrator_s_Handbook">started
  27 to work</a> on a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the "open access" book on
  28 how to set up and administrate a Debian system.  Today I am happy to
  29 report that the first draft is now publicly available.  You can find
  30 it on <a href="https://debian-handbook.info/get/">get the Debian
  31 Administrator's Handbook page</a> (under Other languages).  The first
  32 eight chapters have a first draft translation, and we are working on
  33 proofreading the content.  If you want to help out, please start
  34 contributing using
  35 <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/">the
  36 hosted weblate project page</a>, and get in touch using
  37 <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-handbook-translators">the
  38 translators mailing list</a>.  Please also check out
  39 <a href="https://debian-handbook.info/contribute/">the instructions for
  40 contributors</a>.  A good way to contribute is to proofread the text
  41 and update weblate if you find errors.</p>
  42
  43 <p>Our goal is still to make the Norwegian book available in paper as well as
  44 electronic form.</p>

  58       <div class="date">11th August 2016</div>
  59       <div class="body"><p>This summer, I read a great article
  60 "<a href="https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/summer2016/curtsinger">coz:
  61 This Is the Profiler You're Looking For</a>" in USENIX ;login: about
  62 how to profile multi-threaded programs.  It presented a system for
  63 profiling software by running experiences in the running program,
  64 testing how run time performance is affected by "speeding up" parts of
  65 the code to various degrees compared to a normal run.  It does this by
  66 slowing down parallel threads while the "faster up" code is running
  67 and measure how this affect processing time.  The processing time is
  68 measured using probes inserted into the code, either using progress
  69 counters (COZ_PROGRESS) or as latency meters (COZ_BEGIN/COZ_END).  It
  70 can also measure unmodified code by measuring complete the program
  71 runtime and running the program several times instead.</p>
  72
  73 <p>The project and presentation was so inspiring that I would like to
  74 get the system into Debian.  I
  75 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830708">created
  76 a WNPP request for it</a> and contacted upstream to try to make the
  77 system ready for Debian by sending patches.  The build process need to
  78 be changed a bit to avoid running 'git clone' to get dependencies, and
  79 to include the JavaScript web page used to visualize the collected
  80 profiling information included in the source package.
  81 But I expect that should work out fairly soon.</p>
  82
  83 <p>The way the system work is fairly simple.  To run an coz experiment
  84 on a binary with debug symbols available, start the program like this:
  85
  86 <p><blockquote><pre>
  87 coz run --- program-to-run
  88 </pre></blockquote></p>
  89
  90 <p>This will create a text file profile.coz with the instrumentation
  91 information.  To show what part of the code affect the performance
  92 most, use a web browser and either point it to
  93 <a href="http://plasma-umass.github.io/coz/">http://plasma-umass.github.io/coz/</a>
  94 or use the copy from git (in the gh-pages branch).  Check out this web
  95 site to have a look at several example profiling runs and get an idea what the end result from the profile runs look like.  To make the
  96 profiling more useful you include &lt;coz.h&gt; and insert the
  97 COZ_PROGRESS or COZ_BEGIN and COZ_END at appropriate places in the
  98 code, rebuild and run the profiler.  This allow coz to do more
  99 targeted experiments.</p>
 100
 101 <p>A video published by ACM
 102 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE0V-p1odPg">presenting the
 103 Coz profiler</a> is available from Youtube.  There is also a paper
 104 from the 25th Symposium on Operating Systems Principles available
 105 titled
 106 <a href="https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc16/technical-sessions/presentation/curtsinger">Coz:
 107 finding code that counts with causal profiling</a>.</p>
 108
 109 <p><a href="https://github.com/plasma-umass/coz">The source code</a>
 110 for Coz is available from github.  It will only build with clang
 111 because it uses a
 112 <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55606">C++
 113 feature missing in GCC</a>, but I've submitted
 114 <a href="https://github.com/plasma-umass/coz/pull/67">a patch to solve
 115 it</a> and hope it will be included in the upstream source soon.</p>
 116
 117 <p>Please get in touch if you, like me, would like to see this piece
 118 of software in Debian.  I would very much like some help with the
 119 packaging effort, as I lack the in depth knowledge on how to package
 120 C++ libraries.</p>

 134       <div class="date"> 5th August 2016</div>
 135       <div class="body"><p>As my regular readers probably remember, the last year I published
 136 a French and Norwegian translation of the classic
 137 <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book</a> by the
 138 founder of the Creative Commons movement, Lawrence Lessig.  A bit less
 139 known is the fact that due to the way I created the translations,
 140 using docbook and po4a, I also recreated the English original.  And
 141 because I already had created a new the PDF edition, I published it
 142 too.  The revenue from the books are sent to the Creative Commons
 143 Corporation.  In other words, I do not earn any money from this
 144 project, I just earn the warm fuzzy feeling that the text is available
 145 for a wider audience and more people can learn why the Creative
 146 Commons is needed.</p>
 147
 148 <p>Today, just for fun, I had a look at the sales number over at
 149 Lulu.com, which take care of payment, printing and shipping.  Much to
 150 my surprise, the English edition is selling better than both the
 151 French and Norwegian edition, despite the fact that it has been
 152 available in English since it was first published.  In total, 24 paper
 153 books was sold for USD $19.99 between 2016-01-01 and 2016-07-31:</p>
 154
 155 <table border="0">
 156 <tr><th>Title / language</th><th>Quantity</th></tr>
 157 <tr><td><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">Culture Libre / French</a></td><td align="right">3</td></tr>
 158 <tr><td><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Fri kultur / Norwegian</a></td><td align="right">7</td></tr>

 160 </table>
 161
 162 <p>The books are available both from Lulu.com and from large book
 163 stores like Amazon and Barnes&Noble.  Most revenue, around $10 per
 164 book, is sent to the Creative Commons project when the book is sold
 165 directly by Lulu.com.  The other channels give less revenue.  The
 166 summary from Lulu tell me 10 books was sold via the Amazon channel, 10
 167 via Ingram (what is this?) and 4 directly by Lulu.  And Lulu.com tells
 168 me that the revenue sent so far this year is USD $101.42.  No idea
 169 what kind of sales numbers to expect, so I do not know if that is a
 170 good amount of sales for a 10 year old book or not.  But it make me
 171 happy that the buyers find the book, and I hope they enjoy reading it
 172 as much as I did.</p>
 173
 174 <p>The ebook edition is available for free from
 175 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>
 176
 177 <p>If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native
 178 language, I would be happy to help make it happen.  Please get in
 179 touch.</p>

 194       <div class="body"><p>For mange år siden leste jeg en klassisk tekst som gjorde såpass
 195 inntrykk på meg at jeg husker den fortsatt, flere år senere, og bruker
 196 argumentene fra den stadig vekk.  Teksten var «The Relativity of
 197 Wrong» som Isaac Asimov publiserte i Skeptical Inquirer i 1989.  Den
 198 gir litt perspektiv rundt formidlingen av vitenskapelige resultater.
 199 Jeg har hatt lyst til å kunne dele den også med folk som ikke
 200 behersker engelsk så godt, som barn og noen av mine eldre slektninger,
 201 og har savnet å ha den tilgjengelig på norsk.  For to uker siden tok
 202 jeg meg sammen og kontaktet Asbjørn Dyrendal i foreningen Skepsis om
 203 de var interessert i å publisere en norsk utgave på bloggen sin, og da
 204 han var positiv tok jeg kontakt med Skeptical Inquirer og spurte om
 205 det var greit for dem.  I løpet av noen dager fikk vi tilbakemelding
 206 fra Barry Karr hos The Skeptical Inquirer som hadde sjekket og fått OK
 207 fra Robyn Asimov som representerte arvingene i Asmiov-familien og gikk
 208 igang med oversettingen.</p>
 209
 210 <p>Resultatet, <a href="http://www.skepsis.no/?p=1617">«Relativt
 211 feil»</a>, ble publisert på skepsis-bloggen for noen minutter siden.
 212 Jeg anbefaler deg på det varmeste å lese denne teksten og dele den med
 213 dine venner.</p>
 214
 215 <p>For å håndtere oversettelsen og sikre at original og oversettelse
 216 var i sync brukte vi git, po4a, GNU make og Transifex.  Det hele
 217 fungerte utmerket og gjorde det enkelt å dele tekstene og jobbe sammen
 218 om finpuss på formuleringene.  Hadde hosted.weblate.org latt meg
 219 opprette nye prosjekter selv i stedet for å måtte kontakte
 220 administratoren der, så hadde jeg brukt weblate i stedet.</p>

 246 using only free software (all of it
 247 <a href="http://github.com/Frikanalen">available from Github</a>), and

 249
 250 <p>The TV channel is the Norwegian open channel
 251 <a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a>, and I am involved
 252 via <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">the NUUG member association</a> in
 253 running and developing the software for the channel.  The channel is
 254 organised as a member organisation where its members can upload and
 255 broadcast what they want (think of it as Youtube for national
 256 broadcasting television).  Individuals can broadcast too.  The time
 257 slots are handled on a first come, first serve basis.  Because the
 258 channel have almost no viewers and very few active members, we can
 259 experiment with TV technology without too much flack when we make
 260 mistakes.  And thanks to the few active members, most of the slots on
 261 the schedule are free.  I see this as an opportunity to spread
 262 knowledge about technology and free software, and have a script I run
 263 regularly to fill up all the open slots the next few days with
 264 technology related video.  The end result is a channel I like to
 265 describe as Techno TV - filled with interesting talks and
 266 presentations.</p>
 267
 268 <p>It is available on channel 50 on the Norwegian national digital TV
 269 network (RiksTV).  It is also available as a multicast stream on
 270 Uninett.  And finally, it is available as
 271 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/">a WebM unicast stream</a> from
 272 Frikanalen and NUUG.  Check it out. :)</p>

 286       <div class="date"> 7th July 2016</div>
 287       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, I tried to unlock a HTC Desire HD phone, and it proved
 288 to be a slight challenge.  Here is the recipe if I ever need to do it
 289 again.  It all started by me wanting to try the recipe to set up
 290 <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-impossible-hardening-android-security-and-privacy">an
 291 hardened Android installation</a> from the Tor project blog on a
 292 device I had access to.  It is a old mobile phone with a broken
 293 microphone The initial idea had been to just
 294 <a href="http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ace">install
 295 CyanogenMod on it</a>, but did not quite find time to start on it
 296 until a few days ago.</p>
 297
 298 <p>The unlock process is supposed to be simple: (1) Boot into the boot
 299 loader (press volume down and power at the same time), (2) select
 300 'fastboot' before (3) connecting the device via USB to a Linux
 301 machine, (4) request the device identifier token by running 'fastboot
 302 oem get_identifier_token', (5) request the device unlocking key using
 303 the <a href="http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/">HTC developer web
 304 site</a> and unlock the phone using the key file emailed to you.</p>
 305
 306 <p>Unfortunately, this only work fi you have hboot version 2.00.0029
 307 or newer, and the device I was working on had 2.00.0027.  This
 308 apparently can be easily fixed by downloading a Windows program and
 309 running it on your Windows machine, if you accept the terms Microsoft
 310 require you to accept to use Windows - which I do not.  So I had to
 311 come up with a different approach.  I got a lot of help from AndyCap
 312 on #nuug, and would not have been able to get this working without
 313 him.</p>
 314
 315 <p>First I needed to extract the hboot firmware from
 316 <a href="http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe">the
 317 windows binary for HTC Desire HD</a> downloaded as 'the RUU' from HTC.
 318 For this there is is <a href="https://github.com/kmdm/unruu/">a github
 319 project named unruu</a> using libunshield.  The unshield tool did not
 320 recognise the file format, but unruu worked and extracted rom.zip,
 321 containing the new hboot firmware and a text file describing which
 322 devices it would work for.</p>
 323
 324 <p>Next, I needed to get the new firmware into the device.  For this I
 325 followed some instructions
 326 <a href="http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/09/new-ruu-zips-posted/">available
 327 from HTC1Guru.com</a>, and ran these commands as root on a Linux
 328 machine with Debian testing:</p>
 329
 330 <p><pre>
 331 adb reboot-bootloader
 332 fastboot oem rebootRUU
 333 fastboot flash zip rom.zip
 334 fastboot flash zip rom.zip
 335 fastboot reboot
 336 </pre></p>
 337
 338 <p>The flash command apparently need to be done twice to take effect,
 339 as the first is just preparations and the second one do the flashing.
 340 The adb command is just to get to the boot loader menu, so turning the
 341 device on while holding volume down and the power button should work
 342 too.</p>
 343
 344 <p>With the new hboot version in place I could start following the
 345 instructions on the HTC developer web site.  I got the device token
 346 like this:</p>
 347
 348 <p><pre>
 349 fastboot oem get_identifier_token 2>&1 | sed 's/(bootloader) //'
 350 </pre>
 351
 352 <p>And once I got the unlock code via email, I could use it like
 353 this:</p>
 354
 355 <p><pre>
 356 fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
 357 </pre></p>
 358
 359 <p>And with that final step in place, the phone was unlocked and I
 360 could start stuffing the software of my own choosing into the device.
 361 So far I only inserted a replacement recovery image to wipe the phone
 362 before I start.  We will see what happen next.  Perhaps I should
 363 install <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> on it. :)</p>

 378       <div class="body"><p>For a while now, I have wanted to test
 379 <a href="https://whispersystems.org/">the Signal app</a>, as it is
 380 said to provide end to end encrypted communication and several of my
 381 friends and family are already using it.  As I by choice do not own a
 382 mobile phone, this proved to be harder than expected.  And I wanted to
 383 have the source of the client and know that it was the code used on my
 384 machine.  But yesterday I managed to get it working.  I used the
 385 Github source, compared it to the source in
 386 <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/signal-private-messenger/bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbppfkghcmihk?hl=en-US">the
 387 Signal Chrome app</a> available from the Chrome web store, applied
 388 patches to use the production Signal servers, started the app and
 389 asked for the hidden "register without a smart phone" form.  Here is
 390 the recipe how I did it.</p>
 391
 392 <p>First, I fetched the Signal desktop source from Github, using
 393
 394 <pre>
 395 git clone https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop.git
 396 </pre>
 397
 398 <p>Next, I patched the source to use the production servers, to be
 399 able to talk to other Signal users:</p>

 431 <p>The first part is changing the servers, and the second is updating
 432 an expiration timestamp.  This timestamp need to be updated regularly.
 433 It is set 90 days in the future by the build process (Gruntfile.js).
 434 The value is seconds since 1970 times 1000, as far as I can tell.</p>
 435
 436 <p>Based on a tip and good help from the #nuug IRC channel, I wrote a
 437 script to launch Signal in Chromium.</p>
 438
 439 <pre>
 440 #!/bin/sh
 441 cd $(dirname $0)
 442 mkdir -p userdata
 443 exec chromium \
 444   --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050" \
 445   --user-data-dir=`pwd`/userdata --load-and-launch-app=`pwd`
 446 </pre>
 447
 448 <p> The script start the app and configure Chromium to use the Tor
 449 SOCKS5 proxy to make sure those controlling the Signal servers (today
 450 Amazon and Whisper Systems) as well as those listening on the lines
 451 will have a harder time location my laptop based on the Signal
 452 connections if they use source IP address.</p>
 453
 454 <p>When the script starts, one need to follow the instructions under
 455 "Standalone Registration" in the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the git
 456 repository.  I right clicked on the Signal window to get up the
 457 Chromium debugging tool, visited the 'Console' tab and wrote
 458 'extension.install("standalone")' on the console prompt to get the
 459 registration form.  Then I entered by land line phone number and
 460 pressed 'Call'.  5 seconds later the phone rang and a robot voice
 461 repeated the verification code three times.  After entering the number
 462 into the verification code field in the form, I could start using
 463 Signal from my laptop.
 464
 465 <p>As far as I can tell, The Signal app will leak who is talking to
 466 whom and thus who know who to those controlling the central server,
 467 but such leakage is hard to avoid with a centrally controlled server
 468 setup.  It is something to keep in mind when using Signal - the
 469 content of your chats are harder to intercept, but the meta data
 470 exposing your contact network is available to people you do not know.
 471 So better than many options, but not great.  And sadly the usage is
 472 connected to my land line, thus allowing those controlling the server
 473 to associate it to my home and person.  I would prefer it if only
 474 those I knew could tell who I was on Signal.  There are options
 475 avoiding such information leakage, but most of my friends are not
 476 using them, so I am stuck with Signal for now.</p>

 490       <div class="date"> 6th June 2016</div>
 491       <div class="body"><p>When I set out a few weeks ago to figure out
 492 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_is_the_best_multimedia_player_in_Debian_.html">which
 493 multimedia player in Debian claimed to support most file formats /
 494 MIME types</a>, I was a bit surprised how varied the sets of MIME types
 495 the various players claimed support for.  The range was from 55 to 130
 496 MIME types.  I suspect most media formats are supported by all
 497 players, but this is not really reflected in the MimeTypes values in
 498 their desktop files.  There are probably also some bogus MIME types
 499 listed, but it is hard to identify which one this is.</p>
 500
 501 <p>Anyway, in the mean time I got in touch with upstream for some of
 502 the players suggesting to add more MIME types to their desktop files,
 503 and decided to spend some time myself improving the situation for my
 504 favorite media player VLC.  The fixes for VLC entered Debian unstable
 505 yesterday. The complete list of MIME types can be seen on the
 506 <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport">Multimedia
 507 player MIME type support status</a> Debian wiki page.</p>
 508
 509 <p>The new "best" multimedia player in Debian?  It is VLC, followed by
 510 totem, parole, kplayer, gnome-mpv, mpv, smplayer, mplayer-gui and
 511 kmplayer.  I am sure some of the other players desktop files support
 512 several of the formats currently listed as working only with vlc,
 513 toten and parole.</p>
 514
 515 <p>A sad observation is that only 14 MIME types are listed as
 516 supported by all the tested multimedia players in Debian in their
 517 desktop files: audio/mpeg, audio/vnd.rn-realaudio, audio/x-mpegurl,
 518 audio/x-ms-wma, audio/x-scpls, audio/x-wav, video/mp4, video/mpeg,
 519 video/quicktime, video/vnd.rn-realvideo, video/x-matroska,
 520 video/x-ms-asf, video/x-ms-wmv and video/x-msvideo.  Personally I find
 521 it sad that video/ogg and video/webm is not supported by all the media
 522 players in Debian.  As far as I can tell, all of them can handle both
 523 formats.</p>

 537       <div class="date"> 5th June 2016</div>
 538       <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, when koffice was fresh and with few users, I
 539 decided to test its presentation tool when making the slides for a
 540 talk I was giving for NUUG on Japhar, a free Java virtual machine.  I
 541 wrote the first draft of the slides, saved the result and went to bed
 542 the day before I would give the talk.  The next day I took a plane to
 543 the location where the meeting should take place, and on the plane I
 544 started up koffice again to polish the talk a bit, only to discover
 545 that kpresenter refused to load its own data file.  I cursed a bit and
 546 started making the slides again from memory, to have something to
 547 present when I arrived.  I tested that the saved files could be
 548 loaded, and the day seemed to be rescued.  I continued to polish the
 549 slides until I suddenly discovered that the saved file could no longer
 550 be loaded into kpresenter.  In the end I had to rewrite the slides
 551 three times, condensing the content until the talk became shorter and
 552 shorter.  After the talk I was able to pinpoint the problem &ndash;
 553 kpresenter wrote inline images in a way itself could not understand.
 554 Eventually that bug was fixed and kpresenter ended up being a great
 555 program to make slides.  The point I'm trying to make is that we
 556 expect a program to be able to load its own data files, and it is
 557 embarrassing to its developers if it can't.</p>
 558
 559 <p>Did you ever experience a program failing to load its own data
 560 files from the desktop file browser?  It is not a uncommon problem.  A
 561 while back I discovered that the screencast recorder
 562 gtk-recordmydesktop would save an Ogg Theora video file the KDE file
 563 browser would refuse to open.  No video player claimed to understand
 564 such file.  I tracked down the cause being <tt>file --mime-type</tt>
 565 returning the application/ogg MIME type, which no video player I had
 566 installed listed as a MIME type they would understand.  I asked for
 567 <a href="http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=382">file to change its
 568 behavour</a> and use the MIME type video/ogg instead.  I also asked
 569 several video players to add video/ogg to their desktop files, to give
 570 the file browser an idea what to do about Ogg Theora files.  After a
 571 while, the desktop file browsers in Debian started to handle the
 572 output from gtk-recordmydesktop properly.</p>
 573
 574 <p>But history repeats itself.  A few days ago I tested the music
 575 system Rosegarden again, and I discovered that the KDE and xfce file
 576 browsers did not know what to do with the Rosegarden project files
 577 (*.rg).  I've reported <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/825993">the
 578 rosegarden problem to BTS</a> and a fix is commited to git and will be
 579 included in the next upload.  To increase the chance of me remembering
 580 how to fix the problem next time some program fail to load its files
 581 from the file browser, here are some notes on how to fix it.</p>
 582
 583 <p>The file browsers in Debian in general operates on MIME types.
 584 There are two sources for the MIME type of a given file.  The output from
 585 <tt>file --mime-type</tt> mentioned above, and the content of the
 586 shared MIME type registry (under /usr/share/mime/).  The file MIME
 587 type is mapped to programs supporting the MIME type, and this
 588 information is collected from
 589 <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/">the
 590 desktop files</a> available in /usr/share/applications/.  If there is
 591 one desktop file claiming support for the MIME type of the file, it is
 592 activated when asking to open a given file.  If there are more, one
 593 can normally select which one to use by right-clicking on the file and
 594 selecting the wanted one using 'Open with' or similar.  In general
 595 this work well.  But it depend on each program picking a good MIME
 596 type (preferably
 597 <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml">a
 598 MIME type registered with IANA</a>), file and/or the shared MIME
 599 registry recognizing the file and the desktop file to list the MIME
 600 type in its list of supported MIME types.</p>
 601
 602 <p>The <tt>/usr/share/mime/packages/rosegarden.xml</tt> entry for
 603 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec">the
 604 Shared MIME database</a> look like this:</p>
 605
 606 <p><blockquote><pre>
 607 &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
 608 &lt;mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"&gt;
 609   &lt;mime-type type="audio/x-rosegarden"&gt;
 610     &lt;sub-class-of type="application/x-gzip"/&gt;
 611     &lt;comment&gt;Rosegarden project file&lt;/comment&gt;
 612     &lt;glob pattern="*.rg"/&gt;
 613   &lt;/mime-type&gt;
 614 &lt;/mime-info&gt;
 615 </pre></blockquote></p>
 616
 617 <p>This states that audio/x-rosegarden is a kind of application/x-gzip
 618 (it is a gzipped XML file).  Note, it is much better to use an
 619 official MIME type registered with IANA than it is to make up ones own
 620 unofficial ones like the x-rosegarden type used by rosegarden.</p>
 621
 622 <p>The desktop file of the rosegarden program failed to list
 623 audio/x-rosegarden in its list of supported MIME types, causing the
 624 file browsers to have no idea what to do with *.rg files:</p>
 625
 626 <p><blockquote><pre>
 627 % grep Mime /usr/share/applications/rosegarden.desktop
 628 MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi;
 629 X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition
 630 %
 631 </pre></blockquote></p>
 632
 633 <p>The fix was to add "audio/x-rosegarden;" at the end of the
 634 MimeType= line.</p>
 635
 636 <p>If you run into a file which fail to open the correct program when
 637 selected from the file browser, please check out the output from
 638 <tt>file --mime-type</tt> for the file, ensure the file ending and
 639 MIME type is registered somewhere under /usr/share/mime/ and check
 640 that some desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ is claiming
 641 support for this MIME type.  If not, please report a bug to have it
 642 fixed. :)</p>

 657       <div class="body"><p>A little more than 11 years ago, one of the creators of Tor, and
 658 the current President of <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">the Tor
 659 project</a>, Roger Dingledine, gave a talk for the members of the
 660 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User group</a> (NUUG).  A
 661 video of the talk was recorded, and today, thanks to the great help
 662 from David Noble, I finally was able to publish the video of the talk
 663 on Frikanalen, the Norwegian open channel TV station where NUUG
 664 currently publishes its talks.  You can
 665 <a href="http://frikanalen.no/se">watch the live stream using a web
 666 browser</a> with WebM support, or check out the recording on the video
 667 on demand page for the talk
 668 "<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625599">Tor: Anonymous
 669 communication for the US Department of Defence...and you.</a>".</p>

 677
 678 <p>I guess the gist of the talk can be summarised quite simply: If you
 679 want to help the military in USA (and everyone else), use Tor. :)</p>
