The “Berryheads” are those people (cause we would never do this) who are trying to walk while typing on their blackberrys. They run into people, walls, and get off on the wrong floor on the elevator. They make OGBs (Original Gansta Berry-users) shake their heads in disgust.
Watch out berryheads, you put yourself and others at risk until you realize whatever you have to say really isn’t that important. Or you never figure it out and go down as proof that natural selection is at work all around us.

I had some trouble installing Squeezecenter (formerly Slimserver) on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04). Everything goes according to the instructions from the Slim Devices (Logitech) web sites but once you try to access the web server problems pop up.
It seems the issues stem from Apparmor. A program used to protect certain settings on Ubuntu. you can see the issued in /var/log/messages.
After a lot of digging the answer was available here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7580#c1
There is probably a more elegant solution but this will work for now, and I just wanted to point anyone else in this direction in case others have problems.
