Welcome to the new Hildoer Systems website. Over the coming months, HildoerSystems.com will be undergoing a transformation. I will be adding content related to open-source and semi-open-source projects I am developing such as an OEM quality CarPC for under $1000 (installed, with licensed software). I will also be publishing articles and tutorials on various topics ranging from enterprise level VMware configurations, to custom installations of Ubuntu, to hacking your touch screen LCD on your CarPC, to tutorials on using vector graphics applications. |

It took me some time to figure out the surefire way to get DVD playback working in Ubuntu. I have seen MANY tutorials and forums all giving clues to the solution, but noone seems to post a complete step by step solution. This solution works for me every time. I use it to configure 4 different systems with completely different components. Simply run this script as root, reboot*, and enjoy the show with the totem command, or Movie Player in the Sound & Video submenu of the programs menu. |

Whether you know it or not, someone is trying to hack into your computer right now. Well, that is true with some statistical assumptions. At the very least, if you are running SSH services, someone is trying to log in through SSH. On my lowly web server which gets about 10,000 hits a month (not very many), I clocked 915 authentication failures in only 4 days. This number may seem high, but it could be MUCH higher. The reason is because of Deny Host. |

Well, it is about time someone made installing flash easy, especially for Ubuntu 64bit. As usual, I found myself scouring the internet in search of a surefire way of installing flash without any guesswork. Well, I took the best suggestions, from all over the internet and made a single script that just works--EVERYTIME! It does not matter if you are running feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, etc. It does not matter if you are running 32bit or 64bit. This script just works. Oh, and it even works with Pulseaudio. So, download the file or copy and paste the script as normal. Don't forget to chmod +x and run with sudo. Enjoy. |
