This is just another one of my notes. I often encounter these errors after a fresh install of Fedora.
After executing
psql -U postgresand getting this message:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting

Here’s a screenshot of the Twitter Settings page in Linkedin:

Note that your Twitter account must be set to public to send your tweets from Twitter to LinkedIn.

I accidentally changed my Facebook username just recently. I know it’s stupid. How in the world can I change my username without me consciously allowing it? There’s even a warning that says once I change my username, I cannot change it again. To defend my stupidity, I thought I was changing a username for a Facebook page I was creating, and it turns out that I was actually changing MY username. I was just clicking and clicking to find a way to change the page’s url, and I thought arrived at that page. I couple more clicks and voila!

Ever since I started using Fedora, I’ve never been able to listen to my music collection (currently 122.4 GB) because there has always been a problem with the sound. It’s either the case that the sound works only after every other boot or that the sound doesn’t work when using my earphones.
When I first installed Fedora 11 on Jane (my new laptop; named after the artificial sentience thought to exist within the ansible network by which spaceships and planets communicate instantly across galactic distances), it worked perfectly. After the first few yum update, it suddenly stopped working.
If you’ve encountered the same problem, here’s how to fix it:
