Liuw's Thinkpad

I said I wanted to make my box run faster, and I did try. But I am very addicted to Gnome that I just can’t throw it away. So I must think of another way to speed up my box.

Jaunty Jackalope comes with FireFox 3.0, I am not very fond of it. It is out date and slow. FireFox 3.5 is great and I run it on my game box – Windows XP – not here. Which is the fastest browser with a graphic user interface? No doubt it’s got to be Chrome.

Many thanks to Google engineers, they ported Chrome to Linux and made it a native application. I installed it this afternoon. During that installation, I came across a minor problem. So I decide to take some note here, in case that any one meets the same problem.

First step, add Google repo to source.list. That’s easy.

# echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main" >> /etc/apt/source.list

In fact, Chrome lies in the `main’ category.

Then try to `apt-get update’, as usual. But I encountered a GPG error, said,

W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A040830F7FAC5991

It seems that we need to import Google public key.

# gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys A040830F7FAC5991

Hopefully you don’t get any error messages. Then import this key to apt.

# gpg --export 7FAC5991 | apt-key import -

Yep, no mistake, the PUB_KEY id is just that short. After successfully imported the key, we are able to `apt-get update’.

Finally, we have

# apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

ENJOY!

UPDATE:
Another way to import Google public key is:

# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

用http网址死活通过不过认证。

上网查了，必须使用https。

Google Analytics是Google提供的一个免费网站统计工具。其实我开了这个blog这么久了，一直想着要得到一些访问量方面的数据（满足一下虚荣心？）。但是WordPress本身并不支持什么统计功能，我自己也比较懒，所以一直没有搞得成。

刚才把 picasa 服务也开了，反正现在用的是 Windows XP，可以使用 picasa2 来上传照片了。新加子域 gal.liuw.name，photo.liuw.name。
