dbunic My hardware configuration is Kodi HTPC connected to TV HDMI and HiFi stereo with analog input. Kodi is running as a standalone app so ALSA is preferred over PulseAudio (plus some other advantages). And last, Kodi configuration should have simple audio device selection.
I tried to install AVD (Marshmallow x86_64) to Android Studio 2.1 and the result was “An error occurred during installation: No space left on device”. The reason was too small /tmp partition on my Linux Fedora 24 desktop.
After Kodi installation on Q1900 HTPC (Intel Bay Trail processor), everything was fine except one irritating detail. The problem was judder (hicckup) every 8 seconds showing on movies with 23.976 FPS on my LG TV model 42LD650. Solution for smooth movie playing was adding correct modelines in xorg.conf.

In Chrome version 41, DIV element with fixed position had additional offset – offset that shouldn’t appear. After googling for a while, I have found the the cause of such behaviour – CSS transform style on parent container. Disabling transform style has fixed the problem.
PHP on CentOS 6.6 didn’t have support for mcrypt_get_block_size() function. When something like that happen, next step is to use yum and try to install needed packages. Unfortunately, with default RPM repositories it was not possible and the solution was to add Remi and EPEL repositories.
After updating my WordPress to the newest version, site was hit with enormous number of SPAM messages. For a day or two, Akismet marked 3 to 4 thousand messages which sounds a bit problematic. With few lines in htaccess and simple plugin, I’ll try to reduce that number.
