  • Happy New Year!

    I just want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year from myself and my family. It has been a roller-coaster of a year, so let’s hope that this year will be a lot better. 🙂

    In a somewhat growing attempt to increase my vocabulary and sentence structure, I am going to at the very least try to write a post every day in 2016.

    The aim is to post at least once a day.
    If I am going anywhere that I won’t be at the computer, I must write posts before going and if I do miss a day, the amount of posts that I would have to do the next day increases.

    Simples.

  • WordPress Issues currently on PadraigFahy.com

    So over the past few days I have been playing around with the new WordPress desktop program which requires you to have JetPack installed.

    So naturally enough, I installed JetPack and now anytime that I decide to remove to add a new post to the blog, I get a 504 Gateway Error from nginx.

    I disabled the plugin and I while I am not getting the error anymore, I am still having loading issues with the site…I did play about with the php.ini but I need to have a look at the plugins and see what I can adjust to resolve this issue.

    Will update when I have found a solution.

     

  • Login Looping Xubuntu 15.10

    Since last night, I have had a issue where I couldn’t boot into my Linux laptop which was running Xubuntu 15.10 due to a login loop where it was stuck as “[  OK  ] Started ACPI Event Daemon”

    I eventually found the fix which did resolve the issue for me.

    1. Make sure /var/lib/lightdm has been created.
      1. Also, make sure that is owned by lightdm:lightdm and have CHMOD 0750 permissions.
    2. At ~/ , do a ls -lah and check both .Xauthority and .ICEauthority and make sure they are owned by you. eg. chown padraig:padraig
    3. Throw a sudo reboot at it and then you should be able to boot into your Xubuntu system.

    This fix could (And would) probably work for other *buntu distros (Or even Debian distros in some cases)

    I hope this helps someone!

    (PS. I have to get code tags or something if I am going to be posting tutorials like this 😛 )

  • Christmas

    Yup. It’s nearly that time again!

    I wish everyone a happy and a safe Christmas!
