Linux is surprising

I’ve been using Linux for a long time, and every now and then I get nice surprises. Today I’ve discovered a new media player that I’ve never heard about before. It’s called QuodLibet and is made by my favourite programming language Python. As it is made in python running it in Ubuntu is just a piece of cake. Just download the sources, untar them, and voilà. You can read more about this awesome program at http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet

Enjoy listening to music!!!

HOWTO: Forcing a filesystem check

Ubuntu makes a filesystem check every 30 boots or something. If for any case, you want a filesystem check you can do it by issuing the following command:

shutdown -rF now

This command will restart Ubuntu and will make a filesystem check.
