LaTex package “float” broke after texlive 20190830 After updating texlive to the 20190830 version, the “float” package started working, giving ! LaTeX Error: Unknown float option 'H'. even if the same file was compiling correctly before and \usepackage{float} is used. You need to downgrade at least to the 20190227 version. I did apt purge texlive* then tried to install texlive from the stable distribution (buster is shipping 20190227) but even after having purged everything related to texlive the system could not install that version for broken dependencies/wrong versions....

Recently a friend tried to install Battlefield 3 after some years and was unable to install Punkbuster due to the error The extract file failed an autheticity check during the services install. There’s no official solution or reason to this error. basically, Punkbuster services can’t be copied/installed or can’t run correctly. First of all clean your system from every trace of PB software (regedit, services) and try an admin-install of the PunkBuster Setup (PBSetup) and the PunkBuster Service Installer (pbsvc). If you keep getting the error, the installer can’t copy the services executables into the windows folder (or it’s copying a corrupt copy of them). We can force this manually moving these files. ...

Yesterday I was working on a AutoHotKey project and was wondering if It was possible to automate the extraction of the age from a facebook profile without making use of API or Facebook Graph. This applies to whatever value you can’t (or you don’t want) obtain through official APIs. IE := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") IE.Visible := True Check(){ ComObjError(0) DOB := "" Loop { Elements := IE.document.getElementsByClassName("_50f3") Loop, % Elements.Length ;if Elements[A_Index-1].innerText ~= "^Born on" ; NAME := Elements[A_Index-1]....

libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so or GLX generic errors. If you can’t launch the emulator from Android Studio with hardware emulation enabled because of these errors it’s probably because the AVD is starting using wrong versions of the libraries. Manually start the emulator and append -use-system-libs as flag, like this: avivace@debian-tp:~/Android/Sdk/tools$ ./emulator -avd AVD_NAME -use-system-libs The emulator starts with default console port 5554 and should be automatically seen as available device by Android Studio....

If you try and enable the screen sharing feature during a call on Hangouts on Chromium on Debian, it happens absolutely nothing, no error is reported. This is because the Chromium package in the debian repositories is built with the enable_hangout_services_extension=false flag (every other feature of Hangouts actually works). You can download the source, edit the rules file and enable that flag. The produced Chromium package will have the screen sharing feature correctly working....

If you keep getting PAM authentication failed when trying to change shell, even when running as root, you probably have some invalid settings. Change the shell manually using vipw /etc/passwd. chsh should be back working now. vipw can be used to safely edit /etc/shadow and etc/group, too.
