Chromium happy again

After getting the message below on each chromium start for months, I finally googled it:

Your profile could not be opened correctly.
Some features may be unavailable.  
Please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents.

The solution for me was simple:

rm ~/.config/chromium/Default/History

---

I can't believe I suffered so long with a broken awesomebar which never found new history :(
Previously I assumed its something broken in chromium that would get fixed by a newer Ubuntu packages. The fix never came so I'm really happy that I finally found the solution today:
see Ariel's solution.

Apache url filtering corrupts compressed output.

While trying to set up Hudson behind apache again, I kept on getting garbage out.
After some googling I realized Hudson compress its output, therefore you can not use the normal proxy-html filter to modify urls coming from hudson:

SetOutputFilter proxy-html

Instead you can use the following:

SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://your_server:8080/hudson /hudson

But since hudson seems to be well behaved it even better to just not use SetOutputFilter and ProxyHTMLURLMap.

After searching a lot and trying some recipes, the following worked beautifully for me to install Internet Explorer 7 on ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)

(I changed the last step to get it to work for me, because its installed in your home dir, not in your current dir)

Download dependencies:
sudo apt-get install wine cabextract

Download and run IE4WINE:
