- For working audio in #Kubuntu 11.04 beta I had to do "aptitude purge pulseaudio" (as in most recent Ubuntu releases) #
- Early night to get a decent nights sleep, got to be at Box Hill hospital at 7am for an ERCP to shift more gall stones! #
- Off to hospital for ERCP, should be back later! #
- Out of hospital, awesome surgeons removed at least 6 gallstones from bile duct to finally clear it. Phew! #

- Somehow my hostid has changed after my upgrade to #Kubuntu 11.04, was 573ff8ff now 007f0100, it has confused #ZFS FUSE! #
- #Kubuntu 11.04 switches default audio backend to #gstreamer for consistency with #Ubuntu hence I need Xine to make it work #
- ..and now for the upside of a day on a clear liquids only diet following ERCP, mango jelly! 🙂 #

- "scp file user@machine" gives me 10MB/s, "sudo scp file user@machine" gives me 46MB/s – what ?!?!?! #
- of course those commands are really both "user@machine:" not just "user@machine" #
- Solved my scp problem, many moons ago when I was testing something I put "Host *\n Compression On".. Now nuked 🙂 #
