thickbox won”t show the modal window

by admin on Mar.10, 2009, under javascript

If you experience the same, try using the compressed version of thickbox.


<script src="thickbox-compressed.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Don”t know why the thickbox.js doesn”t work for me.

Error: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS _MODULE is undefined.

by admin on Oct.01, 2008, under python

If you”re getting this problem even after you already set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE as environment variable:

set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings #windows
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings #unix-like

Try adding the following code in django-admin.py:

from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)

Thanks to Jared Kuolt made this technique.

Resetting password in Fedora

by admin on Aug.12, 2008, under fedora

If you forgot your password like I did here’’s how to reset it:

The idea is to boot the system to Single User mode

1. Reboot.
2. On grub selection menu, select the line for fedora.
3. Edit the line by pressing e (bad luck if this is password protected and you forgot it too :D )
4. Select the line that starts with or contains the word ”kernel”
5. Press e again to edit it
6. Go to the end of the line and append ‘’single” without quotes (be sure to put space before the word single)
7. Press escape key to return to the selection menu
8. Press b to boot fedora

Next, reset password. Use passwd to reset your root password
9. To change your user password type passwd <your_username>
10. Reboot. You can now login with your new password.
