Dell XPS 13 touchpad issue

As I already mentioned in my previous post about the XPS 13, I had issues with the touchpad: it freezes rather frequently, because it looses sync a lot. After losing sync for a few times, the psmouse driver issues a reconnect request. And when that happens, the touchpad freezes.

It looks like this in the kernel log:

Goodbye MacBook Air, hello Dell XPS 13

Submitted by stintel on

Many people I know use a laptop for almost anything, anywhere. When they arrive at the office, they hook it up to an external monitor, and use an external keyboard and mouse or trackpad. I prefer to have a proper workstation, with powerful CPU and GPU, lots of RAM and multiple large monitors. As it's rather difficult to take this setup with me to meetings, or when travelling, I still require a secondary device that I can take with me everywhere I go. Some people seem to be OK with a tablet for that purpose, but that just doesn't work for me.

Remote logging to syslog-ng (part two)

Submitted by stintel on

In a previous post I explained how to configure syslog-ng to accept logs from other hosts on the network. Back then I used a filter to only write logs from a specific host to a specific destination.

While this approach works fine, it requires you to create a filter for each host. So I started looking for a different way to do this, and quickly found it can be done much simpler by using the SOURCEIP macro.
