If your user is not in the sudoers file you won’t be able to do any root tasks.

To fix this:

1. Boot into the recovery mode and load the root console. (Hold left shift on boot to show the Grub loader)

2. To make the file system writable execute: mount -o remount,rw /

3. Add user to the group admin by executing: adduser username admin (additionally you can add the user in the sudoers file, command: visudo)

4. To finalize the changes execute: sync ; mount -o remount,ro / ; reboot -f

After registering a custom post type, slug “news”, and creating a page “news” to display the latest posts the pagination just wouldn’t work. I was always getting a 404 error. Setting the permalinks to default and back to the old setting solved the problem.


$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$wp_query = new WP_Query("post_type=news&paged=$paged&posts_per_page=1");

if (have_posts()) :
....


UPDATE:

WordPress 3.1 supports archive pages for custom post types. Add “has_archive” => true when creating the custom post type. No custom page required any more. Name the archive page: archive-customPostTypeName.php

Paging still has problems. Setting the default wordpress posts per page value lower or same as the custom wp_query(“posts_per_page”) value solves this somehow. Weird.

After a Windows 7  restart I had no network adapters showing after executing the ” ipconfig /all ” command but they showed up in the device manager, so the netowork was not working at all.
After few hours researching the internet and thinking of a system reinstall I accidentaly found the solution.

Other solutions:

1. Disable IPv6 protocolls for the network adapters

2. Reset TCP/IP stack, Winsock

3. Remove all Toredo and Isatap ethernet tunnels inside the device manager. (Device manager > Show hidden devices > Network adapters)

4. Uninstall the network adapters inside the device manager. Install again with latest drivers

None of these worked for me.

What coused the problem for was a failed Conectify.me installation. That is a software that does AP simulation. The installation failed and crashed the system but it had messed up the network settings.

5. For all network adapters click on Properties and disable “Connectify LightWeight Filter”.

Jean Barth wrote a nice plugin for Redmine that saves drafts while you are writing issues. Many times people write some long text and then hit the wrong button, the browser crashes and they loose the data. The Drafts plugin saves the data periodically and it can be retrieved if the worst happens.
