"1" means you have at least one non-open-source driver loaded, which is probably what's causing your system crashes. You can run "lsmod" to see what's loaded -- look for "nvidia", "ndiswrapper", and "vmmon", which are some of the most common closed-source drivers. If you don't see any of those, post your lsmod output somewhere and we'll have a look. \_ it's nvidia. Every time my computer crashes is because some UI things from compiz. It is funny how a bad driver would totally destory the percieved notion of stability of an OS. I am downloading the latest driver now. -OP kngharv \_ It's not funny, really. Assuming that's the only third- party kernel module you're using, there are exactly two pieces of code on your computer that have the power to crash your whole system: the Linux kernel itself, and that closed-source nvidia driver you're loading. That's why the very first response to your question was "check for proprietary drivers". If your still get crashes with for proprietary drivers". If you still get crashes with the latest nvidia driver, there are two things you can do: report the bug to Nvidia and hope they fix it, or stop using their closed-source driver and switch to the (much slower, but stable) open-source nvidia driver that comes with your system. \_ yep -- it should correspond with the 'tainted' designator in lsmod \_ I AM TAINT FREE |

I'm still a fan of cfengine, though it won't do the initial install. But I have setup kickstart to just install cfengine at the end of the install and have cfengine take care of most of the configurations. \_ Is it a lot of overhead to have Xen running on every machine? \_ Why not use System Imager? \_ System Imager, as it was last time I looked, is fine if you're managing bunch of machines with *identical* configurations. cfengine is more flexible and can work across multiple platforms as well. Also changing a configuration doesn't involve re-imaging the whole machine. \_ System Imager is more flexible than that. You can propagate just the changes. I much prefer SI to Kickstart. If you want to use cfEngine on top of that then fine, but cfEngine solves a (mostly) different problem. |

3/9 > wc s2: wc: s2:51796: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character \_ Short answer: "setenv LC_ALL en_US.iso88591". Long answer: soda uses Unicode by default now, so a single character can now be more than one byte. This means a lot of commands don't quite work the way they used to -- here, wc is trying to count the number of (Unicode) characters in your file, and it's complaining because your file contains invalid Unicode byte sequences. If you do want to use Unicode in general, but this particular file isn't Unicode, you can either use "wc -c" for a byte count or set LC_CTYPE to whatever the file's encoding actually is. Or, if you don't care about Unicode and you just want all your old commands to work the way they used to, the setenv command above will disable Unicode completely and restore the traditional Unix behavior. --mconst |

9/19 So I have this proprietary logger that writes into a temporary directory, and to rotate it, we simply rename it, gzip it, and the logger is smart enough to create a new log file. However, I've noticed that even after we rename it, the logger still APPENDS to the log file, and during the time we gzip and delete it, the stuff that is appended, is lost. So I'm wondering if there is a command in UNIX that'll CHANGE the inode so that I can tell the logger to create a new file as soon as I rename it? ok thanx. \_ That is because the logger already has the file descriptor open. Renaming it doesn't change that. Typically you would rename file, send logger the -HUP signal which should cause it to reopen the log file, creating a new one if it doesn't exist..

4/19 Is it just me or did ZoneAlarm go from a decent home-firewall to a piece of crap? I have a version from over a year ago that works flawlessly. Twice now, I've tried to upgrade to the most recent version, and both times it's screwed up my setup so bad I had to downgrade back to the good one (the first time I couldn't connect to my work VPN, the second time it would not allow traffic between my two home computers to go through and any time I tried to copy files between them i would be disconnected from the internet). \_ No, it's ZoneAlarm. I've given up on it also and moved to Tiny Personal Firewall. It's just got so much unnecessary bloat that it's just plain stupid to run it. Stuff that also used to be decent but are really problematic include Symantec NAV, starting in 2004 it's really bloated up, the Symantec Firewall Suite, Adobe Acrobat 6.0+, the recent Quicktime versions, and Yahoo Messenger (it now takes up 25% of your screen with its unnecessary skins and stupid whizbang features you'll never use). This is why Free Software makes more and more sense, because commercial software needs to "improve" with time so they can continue making money. However, there is only so much you can do with simple software (such as a firewall) before feature creep totally destroys it. \_ I've worked at Zone Labs for over 4 years and sadly what you say is true. I'm constantly fighting with upper management over new features vs code cleanup, and unfortunately, new features almost always win. In our upcoming June release we are adding both a total re-rewrite of all the memory management that drastically improves performance of ZAP and P2P, but at the same adding "OS firewall" which hooks just about everything in the SDT and has the potential to prevent most rootkits, spyware, etc from being installed but unfortunately the code won't have enough time to stabalize, and will most likely cause thousands of new lockups, BSODs, etc... Unfortunately, our sales are doubling every year so its very hard to argue with upper management. It's very sad. --sky \_ I found I had accidentally left Acrobat 5.0 on my computer however many years ago. I made it the default and suddenly looking at pdfs just got much faster.

Also is it worth upgrading to 9.x or should I just stay with 8.x (presumambly for safety since it has been around for such a long time..) \_ use djbdns. yes i am an ass but that is my honest suggestion. \_ I thought djbdns does not support some parts of DNS spec that have to do with zone transfers and I need to do transfers both ways from and to the servers that run bind and which are out of my control. \_ Do not encourage djb by giving him any more downloads. \_ I would recommend upgrading to 9. Both security and reliability are greatly enhanced in BIND9. I think that you may have to make minor changes to your config files, but all in all the upgrade wasn't that bad. I disagree with the above poster about moving to djbdns. While it may be very secure, it is was a pita to deploy and maintain. It also had problems with certain types of client queries that it felt were "improper". Just stick with BIND9. It works as is pretty secure. \_ I did the 8->9 upgrade many months ago. I expected a nightmare, but the config file differences were so minor I can't honestly recall what they are. If you're capable of setting up subbing and the rest in the first place you'll find the upgrade very easy. Sendmail, openssh, postfix, and many other typical server apps are much more annoying to install and upgrade than going from bind 8 to 9. \_ how complex is your dns? if you are worried, set up 9 somewhere and do the upgrade. use tools like dnswalk to check your work. when you upgrade the production servers, you'll have the config files at the ready. as for djbdns, last i checked it doesn't do delegation-only which if your running a caching namesever is less then ideal. |

The one thing is that if you turn off the "allow web sites to install software" option, you won't get any indication about a failed extension install. \_ if you are on windoze, then, i can tell you that for some site, the html form element "submit" no longer works with 0.9x. That is the only "down" side I found upgrading to 0.9. Other than that, there isn't much differences really, including the fact that since 0.7, the "download" screen will crash my firefox, and I haven't figure out why yet. \_ Note also that you probably should nuke your old install directory for the .9 upgrade.

5/25 I want to get gigabit ethernet for our network. We are currently running 100/10. If I upgrade my servers to run gigabit, is there a way to multiplex it out to 100/10 clients? Do I have to replace my switch? \_ If you want to go gigabit speeds, you will need to replace your switch (unless it is already 1000/100/10). Your switch should then be able to multiplex a higher rate feed from your server to your clients. \_ I don't want to replace the switches since we have about 50 clients, but instead can I do the following, get a gigabit switch with say 5-10 ports, hook two of them to servers, and connect the rest to my 100/10 switch? Would that at least multiplex out to N number of connections from the gigabit to the 100/10? I know I won't get optimal speeds, but at least I can get a speed boost. (My 100/10 switch has all RTX autodetect on all ports). \_ WTF are you thinking? If you *need* GigE, you can afford to get GigE. If you can't afford it, you don't need it. Do you have some stupid cheapass PHB who wants to save a fucking dime up front and pay out the ass later when this hokey shit falls apart and some slave spends 30 hours debugging it while half the net is down? \_ I concur. If you're going to use gigabit right, get a gigabit switch. It'll help you out later if you choose to expand and makes dealing with possible network problems much easier for everyone involved. \_ If you connect 1 5-10 port GigE switch to N 10/100 switches the maximum bandwidth is N*100Mbit, and you will only achieve that if you have a transacting client on each 10/100 switch. Given that large GigE switches cost $$$, what you could do is buy a 5-port GigE switch, and hook it up to some 8-16-24 port 10/100 switches that have a GigE uplink. That way you don't get capped by the link from the GigE switch and the larger slower switches. |

This is the first time someone has tried to build a community supercomputer that can be used for a wide range of problems. The top500 list is ranked using LINPACK, which does linear algebra.

Security should be the last reason you choose one phone over another. \_ Just a note: frequency has little to do with quality here, or even range. Go for 900 Mhz, avoid the radiation and interference. \_ Another note: The Panasonic handsets heat up with 2.4 GHz (and probably 5 GHz). The 900 MHz one does not, and has great battery life. You probably get better range with 2.4 or 5. As far as quality, 900 is fine -- if you notice clicking about 10-20% of the time, just rock the switch to the left a few times to change to another channel. I've never heard any interfering conversations. |

12/2 Another pthreads question. I need to create two threads and a shared mutex in my program. In some cases I can create the first thread and the mutex, but I have problems with the second call to pthread_create. If I use the mutex_destroy at this point, my first thread doesn't like it. Is there a way to kill (stop) a thread that I've created? \_ Sounds like you need a reference count on your mutex. Only a guess, as your description is totally vague. \_ I'm basically allocating a bunch of stuff in main() before any work starts. If any of the allocations (threads, memory, mutex, etc) don't work, I try to clean up the allocated memory before calling exit(). My problem is that I want to clean up the threads before calling exit() but I don't known how to do that. I'm looking for the thread equivalent of pthread_mutex_destroy(). \_ dude, just read Code Complete. (get it on amazon) cleanup is a trivial problem. \_ Thanks. |

SODA_69% rm -i ?eg?q it returns: rm: illegal option -- e usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ... unlink file I've also tried quotes (sgl and dbl) abount the name, nothing wks. \_ You should just back up the files you do need, and delete the whole subdirectory. Then restore the files you saved. \_ the proper syntax to remove files starting with '-' is the followi\ rm -i -- '-eg q' the "--", for many standard unix commands, indicates that anything\ the -- is not meant to be interpreted as an option to the program,\ if it begins with a - \_ Uh, no. "--" is a stupid gnu thing. The right way to do this is to make sure that the file name is specified correctly: rm -i `pwd`/?eg?q \_ "Unlink" means the same as "delete". To delete that file, use: rm ./?eg?q |

5/11 How does one rm a file named "????????????" ? -joshk \_ rm ./? <hit tab> \_ You must have strong fu. \_ "rm -i \?*" is one of several ways. \_ % rm -i \?\?\?\?\?* rm: ?????*: No such file or directory Must resort to inode fu now. \_ of course not. you must practice. there are many ways, but noone can be told. you must learn. -ali \_ It's probably not all question marks; some terminals will replace non-printables and/or 128+ chars with ?'s [default on FreeBSD when outputting to a tty]. The simplest way is most likely just going through `rm -i *` and finding the offending file. To make things faster, do `rm -i [^a-zA-Z0-9]*` or something to that extent. -alexf \_ What usually works for me when I come across a file with odd characters is "rm -i *" and say yes to only the file in question. \_ But how many questions must you answer until you answer the question for the question file in question? \_ note that rm -i will append an extra "?" to the prompts so make sure you remove ???????????? and not ??????????? \_ I know I'll get flack for this, but don't you have a gui interface on your OS?

11/25 Thought of the day: why hasn't anyone thought of trying a class action suit against M$ for providing the OS due to whose incompetence 90% of currently existent viruses were created? Same goes for the new wave of M$ Office/Outlook exploits. This should warrant at least a 10-digit number in punitive damages (if not 11 or 12), no? (And no, I don't observe thanksgiving). \_ read the agreement on the package. \_ EULA or not -- as far as I know, _even_ if one agrees to some disclaimer, the disclaimer can be deemed invalid under certain conditions. \_ My EULA says that upon opening the shrinkwrap (which is required or you can't read the EULA) that you owe me your body, mind, soul and all personal wealth past, present, or future unless you live in Guam, the Virgin Islands, or Idaho where this agreement does not apply. In return you are allowed to use my software on one computer until such time as I feel otherwise and you have no recourse if I break your computer or the software does nothing because the CD is a blank. You agreed to all this upon opening the shrinkwrap. Now that you understand how a M$ EULA works, you think it'll protect them from any lawsuits? \_ heh it would seem that YOU don't understand much about the law. to answer your (idiotic and uninformed) question, no, that probably won't, and if you didn't spend all your time wacking off to nudie pics downloaded from the web you'd realize that there are already lawsuits that have been filed in response to the findings of fact. Stop posting on the motd until your mind is at least 8 years old. Oh and happy thanksgiving. \_ There's no connection between the monopoly issue, which'll certainly see the light of day time and time again, and what I'm talking about above. The OTHER sin that M$ is guilty of is writing shitty code, shitty enough to create a cottage industry of virii for their platform of unparallelled dimensions. I'm sure I don't need to bring up specific instances... we've all heard more than we wanted to about the recent Outlook exploits.

2/4 Is there a simple UNIX utility that returns the width & height of an image, like jpg or gif? Or can the info be easily extracted? \_ CPAN:Image/Image-Size-2.6.tar.gz \_ its not exactly command-line, but xv can do this pretty easily too. \_ http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~ark/wwwis has perl code to do it, and update your html files too while it's at it \_ Cool! Thx! This is exactly what I needed! \_ The "file" command does it for GIFs... Anyone interested in hacking soda's magic file to have it do the same in it's JPG matching? -mogul |

5/16 Ooooops... for those that care, the OS/2 CSD files in /tmp/OS2WinCSD have had the permissions set _correctly_. Me stoopid at 1 am in the morning... =) Enjoy the 5+ hour zmodem-ing. \_ /tmp was full, and I nearly wiped it all. Don't expect this stuff to last long. 29 megs is A LOT. -ERic \_ Brilliant idea... now we'll have a dozen more users FTP'ing the stuff back into temp. When there's something as popular as OS/2 CSD files, can't we leave them in for a few days? Find your space somewhere else! \-you dont seem to understand i can delete considerably faster than you can ftp. esp if the sticky bit on /tmp is removed. used the instructional machines for this. \_ I don't think you understand. /tmp was full, and I cleaned it out as best as I could without deleting yer OS/2 junk for just that reason. I'm just saying download it quick, as others might not be so understanding. -ERic |
