Urbanspoon - Curryville

Took a chance on Urbanspoon and headed to Cilliville for some curry as it was Friday "arvo" and Deb and I were both tired. Read some initial reviews and were a bit cautious.

The Vege Samosas were very authentic. Home made pastery and the fillings were just like right. I got the special "Indian Hot" Vege curry and they weren't kidding around. I had that with rice and then stole some garlic naan from Deb.

They did not over do the decorations either. It has just the right amount of clutter in the right places. Background music was not deafening, but the traffic noise was pissing me off a bit. Overall it was a good feed.

Ubuntu 9.10 does not boot up after hibernate!!!

I've been running Ubuntu 9.10 desktp on my HP nx6120 notebook with some success for a little while now. It performs well for my TeX work, occasional web-browsing, VPN, RDP and e-mails. The GUI is enhanced using Mac4Lin. I loved the hibernate feature until late this afternoon when it refused to bootup after hibernating. I would get the splash screen and then nothing... curses!!!.

I managed to find a work-around but am still not sure what the problem was:
  1. Boot up the machine with a rescue CDROM
  2. Confirm the root partition for the Ubuntu install (in my case it was /dev/sda8, although I only have IDE drives)
  3. Boot up the machine and wait for the GRUB prompt
  4. Press "e" to edit the entry
  5. Replace the "root=UUID..." with "root=/dev/..." on the "linux" line entry
  6. Add the entry "no_console_suspend" on the same line
  7. Press the "Tab" key to complete the Emacs edit
  8. Press "Ctrl+x" to continue booting
Once the machine has bootup as normal, edit the GRUB configuration
  1. sudo vi /etc/default/grub 
    1. Edit the file to uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID
    2. Edit the file to add no_console_suspend in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
    3. Save the file and exit
  2. sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub
