During the start-up of my Fedora powered laptop I noticed in the boot messages list that some service has failed to start. Looking more closely I noticed that docker-storage-setup.service was failing, now, let’s go down the rabbit hole. First thing i checked were logs, of course, and journalctl -u...
Have you ever messed around with GNOME shortcuts and ended up with all of the shortcuts turned upside down? No? Well I have. To reset all shortcuts to it’s default state you can use: gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings or if you wish to reset just one shortcut you can use: gsettings reset...
Since I try to use vi/vim editor for almost everything related to editing text and I use it for writing emails too. I use mutt with vim as my text editor but I also have it set up in a way that it wraps text on 80th column: set editor='vim -c "set textwidth=80" -c "set wrap"' That’s great, and works great… except...

So, today I finally made some time to upgrade my OwnCloud instance. It’s been bugging me for an update for quite some time now but I just haven’t had time to do it. Besides the lack of time I have had some issues with (by now ex) VPS provider regarding disk performance, but that’s the story on its own.
I have been using LastPass as my password manager for quite some time and I was very happy with it. In the matter of fact I was so happy with it that I recommended it to anybody and everybody, even if they didn’t asked me about it. So what changed my mind about LastPass?
If you use Fedora and have Gnome Tweak tool installed you probably noticed that there are few default extensions which you probably don’t need or want to use. Since some of them are installed as packages from system repository “Remove” option beside them is grayed out and that’s what grinds my gears!
Yes, I switched to Firefox! In the matter of fact that happened two or three months ago, but I’ll not talk about that right now because that’s an article on its own. Instead of that this article will focus on how to enable HTML5 HD video playback on Youtube. If you tried using Firefox without Flash, and watching...
In Fedora Workstation (using Gnome 3) keyboard shortcut for changing input source defaults to using Super+Space key combination and Super+Shift+Space for switching it back. But what happens if you want to use your “modifiers” to change your keyboard layout? Launching System Settings and changing keyboard shortcuts...
