  24       <div class="date"> 5th August 2016</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>As my regular readers probably remember, the last year I published
  26 a French and Norwegian translation of the classic
  27 <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book</a> by the
  28 founder of the Creative Commons movement, Lawrence Lessig.  A bit less
  29 known is the fact that due to the way I created the translations,
  30 using docbook and po4a, I also recreated the English original.  And
  31 because I already had created a new the PDF edition, I published it
  32 too.  The revenue from the books are sent to the Creative Commons
  33 Corporation.  In other words, I do not earn any money from this
  34 project, I just earn the warm fuzzy feeling that the text is available
  35 for a wider audience and more people can learn why the Creative
  36 Commons is needed.</p>
  37
  38 <p>Today, just for fun, I had a look at the sales number over at
  39 Lulu.com, which take care of payment, printing and shipping.  Much to
  40 my surprise, the English edition is selling better than both the
  41 French and Norwegian edition, despite the fact that it has been
  42 available in English since it was first published.  In total, 24 paper
  43 books was sold for USD $19.99 between 2016-01-01 and 2016-07-31:</p>

  50 </table>
  51
  52 <p>The books are available both from Lulu.com and from large book
  53 stores like Amazon and Barnes&Noble.  Most revenue, around $10 per
  54 book, is sent to the Creative Commons project when the book is sold
  55 directly by Lulu.com.  The other channels give less revenue.  The
  56 summary from Lulu tell me 10 books was sold via the Amazon channel, 10
  57 via Ingram (what is this?) and 4 directly by Lulu.  And Lulu.com tells
  58 me that the revenue sent so far this year is USD $101.42.  No idea
  59 what kind of sales numbers to expect, so I do not know if that is a
  60 good amount of sales for a 10 year old book or not.  But it make me
  61 happy that the buyers find the book, and I hope they enjoy reading it
  62 as much as I did.</p>
  63
  64 <p>The ebook edition is available for free from
  65 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>
  66
  67 <p>If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native
  68 language, I would be happy to help make it happen.  Please get in
  69 touch.</p>

  83       <div class="date"> 1st August 2016</div>
  84       <div class="body"><p>For mange år siden leste jeg en klassisk tekst som gjorde såpass
  85 inntrykk på meg at jeg husker den fortsatt, flere år senere, og bruker
  86 argumentene fra den stadig vekk.  Teksten var «The Relativity of
  87 Wrong» som Isaac Asimov publiserte i Skeptical Inquirer i 1989.  Den
  88 gir litt perspektiv rundt formidlingen av vitenskapelige resultater.
  89 Jeg har hatt lyst til å kunne dele den også med folk som ikke
  90 behersker engelsk så godt, som barn og noen av mine eldre slektninger,
  91 og har savnet å ha den tilgjengelig på norsk.  For to uker siden tok
  92 jeg meg sammen og kontaktet Asbjørn Dyrendal i foreningen Skepsis om
  93 de var interessert i å publisere en norsk utgave på bloggen sin, og da
  94 han var positiv tok jeg kontakt med Skeptical Inquirer og spurte om
  95 det var greit for dem.  I løpet av noen dager fikk vi tilbakemelding
  96 fra Barry Karr hos The Skeptical Inquirer som hadde sjekket og fått OK
  97 fra Robyn Asimov som representerte arvingene i Asmiov-familien og gikk
  98 igang med oversettingen.</p>
  99
 100 <p>Resultatet, <a href="http://www.skepsis.no/?p=1617">«Relativt
 101 feil»</a>, ble publisert på skepsis-bloggen for noen minutter siden.
 102 Jeg anbefaler deg på det varmeste å lese denne teksten og dele den med
 103 dine venner.</p>
 104
 105 <p>For å håndtere oversettelsen og sikre at original og oversettelse
 106 var i sync brukte vi git, po4a, GNU make og Transifex.  Det hele
 107 fungerte utmerket og gjorde det enkelt å dele tekstene og jobbe sammen
 108 om finpuss på formuleringene.  Hadde hosted.weblate.org latt meg
 109 opprette nye prosjekter selv i stedet for å måtte kontakte
 110 administratoren der, så hadde jeg brukt weblate i stedet.</p>

 127 broadcasting talks by or about
 128 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625529/">Linus Torvalds</a>,

 136 using only free software (all of it
 137 <a href="http://github.com/Frikanalen">available from Github</a>), and
 138 is administrated using a web browser and a web API.</p>
 139
 140 <p>The TV channel is the Norwegian open channel
 141 <a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a>, and I am involved
 142 via <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">the NUUG member association</a> in
 143 running and developing the software for the channel.  The channel is
 144 organised as a member organisation where its members can upload and
 145 broadcast what they want (think of it as Youtube for national
 146 broadcasting television).  Individuals can broadcast too.  The time
 147 slots are handled on a first come, first serve basis.  Because the
 148 channel have almost no viewers and very few active members, we can
 149 experiment with TV technology without too much flack when we make
 150 mistakes.  And thanks to the few active members, most of the slots on
 151 the schedule are free.  I see this as an opportunity to spread
 152 knowledge about technology and free software, and have a script I run
 153 regularly to fill up all the open slots the next few days with
 154 technology related video.  The end result is a channel I like to
 155 describe as Techno TV - filled with interesting talks and
 156 presentations.</p>
 157
 158 <p>It is available on channel 50 on the Norwegian national digital TV
 159 network (RiksTV).  It is also available as a multicast stream on
 160 Uninett.  And finally, it is available as
 161 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/">a WebM unicast stream</a> from
 162 Frikanalen and NUUG.  Check it out. :)</p>

 176       <div class="date"> 7th July 2016</div>
 177       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, I tried to unlock a HTC Desire HD phone, and it proved
 178 to be a slight challenge.  Here is the recipe if I ever need to do it
 179 again.  It all started by me wanting to try the recipe to set up
 180 <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-impossible-hardening-android-security-and-privacy">an
 181 hardened Android installation</a> from the Tor project blog on a
 182 device I had access to.  It is a old mobile phone with a broken
 183 microphone The initial idea had been to just
 184 <a href="http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ace">install
 185 CyanogenMod on it</a>, but did not quite find time to start on it
 186 until a few days ago.</p>
 187
 188 <p>The unlock process is supposed to be simple: (1) Boot into the boot
 189 loader (press volume down and power at the same time), (2) select
 190 'fastboot' before (3) connecting the device via USB to a Linux
 191 machine, (4) request the device identifier token by running 'fastboot
 192 oem get_identifier_token', (5) request the device unlocking key using
 193 the <a href="http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/">HTC developer web
 194 site</a> and unlock the phone using the key file emailed to you.</p>
 195
 196 <p>Unfortunately, this only work fi you have hboot version 2.00.0029
 197 or newer, and the device I was working on had 2.00.0027.  This
 198 apparently can be easily fixed by downloading a Windows program and
 199 running it on your Windows machine, if you accept the terms Microsoft
 200 require you to accept to use Windows - which I do not.  So I had to
 201 come up with a different approach.  I got a lot of help from AndyCap
 202 on #nuug, and would not have been able to get this working without
 203 him.</p>
 204
 205 <p>First I needed to extract the hboot firmware from
 206 <a href="http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe">the
 207 windows binary for HTC Desire HD</a> downloaded as 'the RUU' from HTC.
 208 For this there is is <a href="https://github.com/kmdm/unruu/">a github
 209 project named unruu</a> using libunshield.  The unshield tool did not
 210 recognise the file format, but unruu worked and extracted rom.zip,
 211 containing the new hboot firmware and a text file describing which
 212 devices it would work for.</p>
 213
 214 <p>Next, I needed to get the new firmware into the device.  For this I
 215 followed some instructions
 216 <a href="http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/09/new-ruu-zips-posted/">available
 217 from HTC1Guru.com</a>, and ran these commands as root on a Linux
 218 machine with Debian testing:</p>
 219
 220 <p><pre>
 221 adb reboot-bootloader
 222 fastboot oem rebootRUU
 223 fastboot flash zip rom.zip
 224 fastboot flash zip rom.zip
 225 fastboot reboot
 226 </pre></p>
 227
 228 <p>The flash command apparently need to be done twice to take effect,
 229 as the first is just preparations and the second one do the flashing.
 230 The adb command is just to get to the boot loader menu, so turning the
 231 device on while holding volume down and the power button should work
 232 too.</p>
 233
 234 <p>With the new hboot version in place I could start following the
 235 instructions on the HTC developer web site.  I got the device token
 236 like this:</p>
 237
 238 <p><pre>
 239 fastboot oem get_identifier_token 2>&1 | sed 's/(bootloader) //'
 240 </pre>
 241
 242 <p>And once I got the unlock code via email, I could use it like
 243 this:</p>
 244
 245 <p><pre>
 246 fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
 247 </pre></p>
 248
 249 <p>And with that final step in place, the phone was unlocked and I
 250 could start stuffing the software of my own choosing into the device.
 251 So far I only inserted a replacement recovery image to wipe the phone
 252 before I start.  We will see what happen next.  Perhaps I should
 253 install <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> on it. :)</p>

 267       <div class="date"> 3rd July 2016</div>
 268       <div class="body"><p>For a while now, I have wanted to test
 269 <a href="https://whispersystems.org/">the Signal app</a>, as it is
 270 said to provide end to end encrypted communication and several of my
 271 friends and family are already using it.  As I by choice do not own a
 272 mobile phone, this proved to be harder than expected.  And I wanted to
 273 have the source of the client and know that it was the code used on my
 274 machine.  But yesterday I managed to get it working.  I used the
 275 Github source, compared it to the source in
 276 <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/signal-private-messenger/bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbppfkghcmihk?hl=en-US">the
 277 Signal Chrome app</a> available from the Chrome web store, applied
 278 patches to use the production Signal servers, started the app and
 279 asked for the hidden "register without a smart phone" form.  Here is
 280 the recipe how I did it.</p>
 281
 282 <p>First, I fetched the Signal desktop source from Github, using
 283
 284 <pre>
 285 git clone https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop.git
 286 </pre>
 287
 288 <p>Next, I patched the source to use the production servers, to be
 289 able to talk to other Signal users:</p>

 321 <p>The first part is changing the servers, and the second is updating
 322 an expiration timestamp.  This timestamp need to be updated regularly.
 323 It is set 90 days in the future by the build process (Gruntfile.js).
 324 The value is seconds since 1970 times 1000, as far as I can tell.</p>
 325
 326 <p>Based on a tip and good help from the #nuug IRC channel, I wrote a
 327 script to launch Signal in Chromium.</p>
 328
 329 <pre>
 330 #!/bin/sh
 331 cd $(dirname $0)
 332 mkdir -p userdata
 333 exec chromium \
 334   --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050" \
 335   --user-data-dir=`pwd`/userdata --load-and-launch-app=`pwd`
 336 </pre>
 337
 338 <p> The script start the app and configure Chromium to use the Tor
 339 SOCKS5 proxy to make sure those controlling the Signal servers (today
 340 Amazon and Whisper Systems) as well as those listening on the lines
 341 will have a harder time location my laptop based on the Signal
 342 connections if they use source IP address.</p>
 343
 344 <p>When the script starts, one need to follow the instructions under
 345 "Standalone Registration" in the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the git
 346 repository.  I right clicked on the Signal window to get up the
 347 Chromium debugging tool, visited the 'Console' tab and wrote
 348 'extension.install("standalone")' on the console prompt to get the
 349 registration form.  Then I entered by land line phone number and
 350 pressed 'Call'.  5 seconds later the phone rang and a robot voice
 351 repeated the verification code three times.  After entering the number
 352 into the verification code field in the form, I could start using
 353 Signal from my laptop.
 354
 355 <p>As far as I can tell, The Signal app will leak who is talking to
 356 whom and thus who know who to those controlling the central server,
 357 but such leakage is hard to avoid with a centrally controlled server
 358 setup.  It is something to keep in mind when using Signal - the
 359 content of your chats are harder to intercept, but the meta data
 360 exposing your contact network is available to people you do not know.
 361 So better than many options, but not great.  And sadly the usage is
 362 connected to my land line, thus allowing those controlling the server
 363 to associate it to my home and person.  I would prefer it if only
 364 those I knew could tell who I was on Signal.  There are options
 365 avoiding such information leakage, but most of my friends are not
 366 using them, so I am stuck with Signal for now.</p>

 380       <div class="date"> 6th June 2016</div>
 381       <div class="body"><p>When I set out a few weeks ago to figure out
 382 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_is_the_best_multimedia_player_in_Debian_.html">which
 383 multimedia player in Debian claimed to support most file formats /
 384 MIME types</a>, I was a bit surprised how varied the sets of MIME types
 385 the various players claimed support for.  The range was from 55 to 130
 386 MIME types.  I suspect most media formats are supported by all
 387 players, but this is not really reflected in the MimeTypes values in
 388 their desktop files.  There are probably also some bogus MIME types
 389 listed, but it is hard to identify which one this is.</p>
 390
 391 <p>Anyway, in the mean time I got in touch with upstream for some of
 392 the players suggesting to add more MIME types to their desktop files,
 393 and decided to spend some time myself improving the situation for my
 394 favorite media player VLC.  The fixes for VLC entered Debian unstable
 395 yesterday. The complete list of MIME types can be seen on the
 396 <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport">Multimedia
 397 player MIME type support status</a> Debian wiki page.</p>
 398
 399 <p>The new "best" multimedia player in Debian?  It is VLC, followed by
 400 totem, parole, kplayer, gnome-mpv, mpv, smplayer, mplayer-gui and
 401 kmplayer.  I am sure some of the other players desktop files support
 402 several of the formats currently listed as working only with vlc,
 403 toten and parole.</p>
 404
 405 <p>A sad observation is that only 14 MIME types are listed as
 406 supported by all the tested multimedia players in Debian in their
 407 desktop files: audio/mpeg, audio/vnd.rn-realaudio, audio/x-mpegurl,
 408 audio/x-ms-wma, audio/x-scpls, audio/x-wav, video/mp4, video/mpeg,
 409 video/quicktime, video/vnd.rn-realvideo, video/x-matroska,
 410 video/x-ms-asf, video/x-ms-wmv and video/x-msvideo.  Personally I find
 411 it sad that video/ogg and video/webm is not supported by all the media
 412 players in Debian.  As far as I can tell, all of them can handle both
 413 formats.</p>

 427       <div class="date"> 5th June 2016</div>
 428       <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, when koffice was fresh and with few users, I
 429 decided to test its presentation tool when making the slides for a
 430 talk I was giving for NUUG on Japhar, a free Java virtual machine.  I
 431 wrote the first draft of the slides, saved the result and went to bed
 432 the day before I would give the talk.  The next day I took a plane to
 433 the location where the meeting should take place, and on the plane I
 434 started up koffice again to polish the talk a bit, only to discover
 435 that kpresenter refused to load its own data file.  I cursed a bit and
 436 started making the slides again from memory, to have something to
 437 present when I arrived.  I tested that the saved files could be
 438 loaded, and the day seemed to be rescued.  I continued to polish the
 439 slides until I suddenly discovered that the saved file could no longer
 440 be loaded into kpresenter.  In the end I had to rewrite the slides
 441 three times, condensing the content until the talk became shorter and
 442 shorter.  After the talk I was able to pinpoint the problem &ndash;
 443 kpresenter wrote inline images in a way itself could not understand.
 444 Eventually that bug was fixed and kpresenter ended up being a great
 445 program to make slides.  The point I'm trying to make is that we
 446 expect a program to be able to load its own data files, and it is
 447 embarrassing to its developers if it can't.</p>
 448
 449 <p>Did you ever experience a program failing to load its own data
 450 files from the desktop file browser?  It is not a uncommon problem.  A
 451 while back I discovered that the screencast recorder
 452 gtk-recordmydesktop would save an Ogg Theora video file the KDE file
 453 browser would refuse to open.  No video player claimed to understand
 454 such file.  I tracked down the cause being <tt>file --mime-type</tt>
 455 returning the application/ogg MIME type, which no video player I had
 456 installed listed as a MIME type they would understand.  I asked for
 457 <a href="http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=382">file to change its
 458 behavour</a> and use the MIME type video/ogg instead.  I also asked
 459 several video players to add video/ogg to their desktop files, to give
 460 the file browser an idea what to do about Ogg Theora files.  After a
 461 while, the desktop file browsers in Debian started to handle the
 462 output from gtk-recordmydesktop properly.</p>
 463
 464 <p>But history repeats itself.  A few days ago I tested the music
 465 system Rosegarden again, and I discovered that the KDE and xfce file
 466 browsers did not know what to do with the Rosegarden project files
 467 (*.rg).  I've reported <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/825993">the
 468 rosegarden problem to BTS</a> and a fix is commited to git and will be
 469 included in the next upload.  To increase the chance of me remembering
 470 how to fix the problem next time some program fail to load its files
 471 from the file browser, here are some notes on how to fix it.</p>
 472
 473 <p>The file browsers in Debian in general operates on MIME types.
 474 There are two sources for the MIME type of a given file.  The output from
 475 <tt>file --mime-type</tt> mentioned above, and the content of the
 476 shared MIME type registry (under /usr/share/mime/).  The file MIME
 477 type is mapped to programs supporting the MIME type, and this
 478 information is collected from
 479 <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/">the
 480 desktop files</a> available in /usr/share/applications/.  If there is
 481 one desktop file claiming support for the MIME type of the file, it is
 482 activated when asking to open a given file.  If there are more, one
 483 can normally select which one to use by right-clicking on the file and
 484 selecting the wanted one using 'Open with' or similar.  In general
 485 this work well.  But it depend on each program picking a good MIME
 486 type (preferably
 487 <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml">a
 488 MIME type registered with IANA</a>), file and/or the shared MIME
 489 registry recognizing the file and the desktop file to list the MIME
 490 type in its list of supported MIME types.</p>
 491
 492 <p>The <tt>/usr/share/mime/packages/rosegarden.xml</tt> entry for
 493 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec">the
 494 Shared MIME database</a> look like this:</p>
 495
 496 <p><blockquote><pre>
 497 &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
 498 &lt;mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"&gt;
 499   &lt;mime-type type="audio/x-rosegarden"&gt;
 500     &lt;sub-class-of type="application/x-gzip"/&gt;
 501     &lt;comment&gt;Rosegarden project file&lt;/comment&gt;
 502     &lt;glob pattern="*.rg"/&gt;
 503   &lt;/mime-type&gt;
 504 &lt;/mime-info&gt;
 505 </pre></blockquote></p>
 506
 507 <p>This states that audio/x-rosegarden is a kind of application/x-gzip
 508 (it is a gzipped XML file).  Note, it is much better to use an
 509 official MIME type registered with IANA than it is to make up ones own
 510 unofficial ones like the x-rosegarden type used by rosegarden.</p>
 511
 512 <p>The desktop file of the rosegarden program failed to list
 513 audio/x-rosegarden in its list of supported MIME types, causing the
 514 file browsers to have no idea what to do with *.rg files:</p>
 515
 516 <p><blockquote><pre>
 517 % grep Mime /usr/share/applications/rosegarden.desktop
 518 MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi;
 519 X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition
 520 %
 521 </pre></blockquote></p>
 522
 523 <p>The fix was to add "audio/x-rosegarden;" at the end of the
 524 MimeType= line.</p>
 525
 526 <p>If you run into a file which fail to open the correct program when
 527 selected from the file browser, please check out the output from
 528 <tt>file --mime-type</tt> for the file, ensure the file ending and
 529 MIME type is registered somewhere under /usr/share/mime/ and check
 530 that some desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ is claiming
 531 support for this MIME type.  If not, please report a bug to have it
 532 fixed. :)</p>

 546       <div class="date">28th May 2016</div>
 547       <div class="body"><p>A little more than 11 years ago, one of the creators of Tor, and
 548 the current President of <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">the Tor
 549 project</a>, Roger Dingledine, gave a talk for the members of the
 550 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User group</a> (NUUG).  A
 551 video of the talk was recorded, and today, thanks to the great help
 552 from David Noble, I finally was able to publish the video of the talk
 553 on Frikanalen, the Norwegian open channel TV station where NUUG
 554 currently publishes its talks.  You can
 555 <a href="http://frikanalen.no/se">watch the live stream using a web
 556 browser</a> with WebM support, or check out the recording on the video
 557 on demand page for the talk

 567
 568 <p>I guess the gist of the talk can be summarised quite simply: If you

 583       <div class="date">25th May 2016</div>
 584       <div class="body"><p><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/isenkram">The isenkram
 585 system</a> is a user-focused solution in Debian for handling hardware
 586 related packages.  The idea is to have a database of mappings between
 587 hardware and packages, and pop up a dialog suggesting for the user to
 588 install the packages to use a given hardware dongle.  Some use cases
 589 are when you insert a Yubikey, it proposes to install the software
 590 needed to control it; when you insert a braille reader list it
 591 proposes to install the packages needed to send text to the reader;
 592 and when you insert a ColorHug screen calibrator it suggests to
 593 install the driver for it.  The system work well, and even have a few
 594 command line tools to install firmware packages and packages for the
 595 hardware already in the machine (as opposed to hotpluggable hardware).</p>
 596
 597 <p>The system was initially written using aptdaemon, because I found
 598 good documentation and example code on how to use it.  But aptdaemon
 599 is going away and is generally being replaced by
 600 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/">PackageKit</a>,
 601 so Isenkram needed a rewrite.  And today, thanks to the great patch
 602 from my college Sunil Mohan Adapa in the FreedomBox project, the
 603 rewrite finally took place.  I've just uploaded a new version of
 604 Isenkram into Debian Unstable with the patch included, and the default
 605 for the background daemon is now to use PackageKit.  To check it out,
 606 install the <tt>isenkram</tt> package and insert some hardware dongle
 607 and see if it is recognised.</p>
 608
 609 <p>If you want to know what kind of packages isenkram would propose for
 610 the machine it is running on, you can check out the isenkram-lookup
 611 program.  This is what it look like on a Thinkpad X230:</p>
 612
 613 <p><blockquote><pre>
 614 % isenkram-lookup
 615 bluez
 616 cheese
 617 fprintd
 618 fprintd-demo
 619 gkrellm-thinkbat
 620 hdapsd
 621 libpam-fprintd
 622 pidgin-blinklight
 623 thinkfan
 624 tleds
 625 tp-smapi-dkms
 626 tp-smapi-source
 627 tpb
 628 %p
 629 </pre></blockquote></p>
 630
 631 <p>The hardware mappings come from several places.  The preferred way
 632 is for packages to announce their hardware support using
 633 <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/">the
 634 cross distribution appstream system</a>.
 635 See
 636 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/tags/isenkram/">previous
 637 blog posts about isenkram</a> to learn how to do that.</p>

 651       <div class="date">23rd May 2016</div>
 652       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday I updated the
 653 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/battery-stats">battery-stats
 654 package in Debian</a> with a few patches sent to me by skilled and
 655 enterprising users.  There were some nice user and visible changes.
 656 First of all, both desktop menu entries now work.  A design flaw in
 657 one of the script made the history graph fail to show up (its PNG was
 658 dumped in ~/.xsession-errors) if no controlling TTY was available.
 659 The script worked when called from the command line, but not when
 660 called from the desktop menu.  I changed this to look for a DISPLAY
 661 variable or a TTY before deciding where to draw the graph, and now the
 662 graph window pop up as expected.</p>
 663
 664 <p>The next new feature is a discharge rate estimator in one of the
 665 graphs (the one showing the last few hours).  New is also the user of
 666 colours showing charging in blue and discharge in red.  The percentages
 667 of this graph is relative to last full charge, not battery design
 668 capacity.</p>
 669
 670 <p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2016-05-23-battery-stats-rate.png"/></p>
 671
 672 <p>The other graph show the entire history of the collected battery
 673 statistics, comparing it to the design capacity of the battery to
 674 visualise how the battery life time get shorter over time.  The red
 675 line in this graph is what the previous graph considers 100 percent:
 676
 677 <p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2016-05-23-battery-stats-history.png"/></p>
 678
 679 <p>In this graph you can see that I only charge the battery to 80
 680 percent of last full capacity, and how the capacity of the battery is
 681 shrinking. :(</p>
 682
 683 <p>The last new feature is in the collector, which now will handle
 684 more hardware models.  On some hardware, Linux power supply
 685 information is stored in /sys/class/power_supply/ACAD/, while the
 686 collector previously only looked in /sys/class/power_supply/AC/.  Now
 687 both are checked to figure if there is power connected to the
 688 machine.</p>
 689
 690 <p>If you are interested in how your laptop battery is doing, please
 691 check out the
 692 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/battery-stats">battery-stats</a>
 693 in Debian unstable, or rebuild it on Jessie to get it working on
 694 Debian stable. :) The upstream source is available from <a
