MS Word says "Cannot find file"

MS Word error message
MS Word at work just complained that it cannot find the file that I told it to open. The solution was to use the File -> Open menu and choose the "Open and repair" button.

Installing Gentoo with full disk encryption

The purpose of this exercise - install Gentoo where all disk partitions are encrypted. Boot from a system rescue disk and partition the disk - use GPT partition table where the first partition is reserved, second is the boot, and the third one is for the rest of the data. Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 32767 30720 15M BIOS boot /dev/sda2 32768 442367 409600 200M Linux filesystem /dev/sda3 442368 375093902 374651535 178.7G Linux filesystem Encrypt partitions number 2 and 3, and open them cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypt_boot cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 crypt_data Format the boot partition mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/crypt_boot Prepare LVM for the rest, and format the top level vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/crypt_data lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n data vg0 mkfs.btrfs /dev/vg0/data Mount and set up any subvolumes mount /dev/vg0/data /mnt/gentoo btrfs subvol create /mnt/gentoo/@ /mnt/gentoo/@home umount /mnt/gentoo Now...

Tracking Wordpress in Git

I finally decided to sign up for github. What prompted me was the desire to upgrade this blog to WordPress 3.0, from its current Wordpress MU 1.5.1. I find that it is much easier to pull in an upstream branch and make my own changes on top if I use git as opposed to subversion. And since importing the wordpress svn repository into git was an overnight process, I decided to share the resulting git repo on github, so others can speed up their own wordpress git import should they ever want to do that. And that is how my first ever github repo became a repo that is just tracking the progress of wordpress. Good enough for a start. I did not use the default git-svn configuration because it was lacking a few feature I like. First, my local repo is not using the default git-svn branch to tag mapping. Instead, I configure git-svn to prefix all remote branches with "svn" so they are easy to follow. The "trunk" I also push into a branch named trunk, to make it easy to follow ...

grub2 cannot read core.img

When trying to install grub2 (whatever snapshot was current as of today) I kept getting the following error: $ sudo /sbin/grub-setup -v --directory=/media/sysrescd/boot/grub \ --device-map=/media/sysrescd/boot/grub/device.map -r '(hd1,1)' '(hd1)' .... snip ... grub-setup: error: Cannot read `/media/sysrescd/boot/grub/core.img' correctly The error was not very descriptive because grub was apparently able to read other important files like boot.img and such. The filesystem on my USB stick was identical (feature wise) to the /boot on my HDD -- ext2. And the same command worked just fine for installing to my hard disk. Digging through the code revealed where the problem is. The error was caused by grub-setup being unable to embed core.img in the MBR. The core.img prepared by grub-mkimage was 25k big. That is about 50 sectors. The first partition on my hard disk starts on sector 63. The first partition on my USB stick was starting on sector 32 (or was it 31?). 32 <...
