Due to the fact I ran into this Mandriva bug, X-Windows stopped working. Thus, I first tried working on the virtual consoles, which was very little fun, and then decided to work on my Kubuntu partition. I did not enjoy the exile too much: Kubuntu is not bad, but I like Mandriva better and all my life is on the Mandriva hard disk.

While on Kubuntu I chatted on the IRC, and also worked on a DocBook/XML-based file. Eventually, I found a workaround on the bug report, and after I applied it everything worked on my Mandriva. Now I'm back to Mandriva and am happy again.
