Tele2 Complete (Student) bandwidth problem
Problem: Internet from Tele2 with Complete Student product and a vood Router working in a setup bridged mode. Somehow bandwidth seems capped at 20-30 KBps.
Reason: They seem to have changed the lines for VOIP and Internet
Solution: At the router switch to the other channel (pppoe2 instead of pppoe1) for bridged PPPoE.

Cygwin Emacs
Problem: Using Cygwin under Windows Vista with emacs inside and C-x C-c is not working, because it is somehow mapped to C-x C-g
Reason: Unknown
Solution: Add 'export CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty' to .bashrc in the home directory.

Emacs: XML Syntax highlighting / Font-lock-mode not working
Problem: When editing XML Files in emacs on Debian, it won't do any syntax highlighting (named font-lock-mode in emacs) for anything in the file
Reason: psgml Package installed, which is a emacs SGML major mode that kicks in when editing XML Files (as XML is a subset of SGML iirc) instead of the normal XML-mode and doesn't seem to have syntax highlighting.
Solution: Remove the psgml package: aptitude remove psgml to get back normal XML mode

LaTeX and graphics
Situation: Using latex with the graphicx package and the includegraphics command to include a png Image
Problem:
! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in Hysteresis_sharp_curve.png (
no BoundingBox).
Solution: Well, pdflatex doesn't complain, so I think the package only works with pdflatex
