eth0 renamed to eth1

This happened on debian after installing a new graphics card. The fix was to comment the old eth0 card in:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

and rename the new card to eth0

KeyNote on Kubuntu

I followed this tutorial but encountered some problems. Here’s how I installed KeyNote on Kubuntu 9.04:

root$ apt-get install wine

user$ winecfg

In the dialog which pops up select the Libraries tab and in the combo box search for and add riched20.dll and riched32.dll. Then edit their load order to “Native (Windows)” and exit.

user$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
user$ mv riched20.dll riched20.dll.bak; mv riched32.dll riched32.dll.bak

In a browser download the “richedit 3.0 update” from here and open it with wine. The ‘exe’ filetype should be associated with wine and it should open with a file manager. Otherwise just cd to the file’s directory and run:

user$ wine richedit30.exe

Repeat this for the keynote installer and follow the installation steps as normal.

Run KeyNote:

user$ cd ~/.kde/c_drive/Documents\ and\ Settings\KeyNote
user$ wine keynote.exe

On my system KeyNote displayed a message that msls31dll was missing. So I copied msls31.dll from my windows drive to ~/.wine/c_drive/Windows/System32.

Last make a shortcut for “wine ‘c:/program files/keynote/keynote.exe’” and improve wine’s colors and fonts.
