Ubuntu hangs on boot when NFS-mounting entries in /etc/fstab, but they mount cleanly otherwise

- by lorin

I'm managing several Ubuntu 9.10 servers that NFS mount several folders (including /home). I'd like these folders to be mounted at boot time. I would like to have several entries in my /etc/fstab to accomplish this, e.g. 192.168.1.100:/home /home nfs rw 0 0 192.168.1.100:/usr/ansys_inc /ansys_inc nfs ro 0 0 Unfortunately, with this configuration, the servers usually (although not always) hang during the bootup sequence when trying to do the NFS mount. if I comment out these fstab entries, reboot the machine, uncomment them and mount them manually using the shell, the folders mount cleanly. I'm not sure how to go about debugging this problem. It seems like it has something to do with the boot sequence, that some relevant process hasn't been started by the time the OS tries to mount the folders.

Is it possible to monitor an Asterisk ConfBridge from a URL / Browser?

- by Lorin S.

I have an Asterisk server set up with minimal configuration, including the following confbridge definition / extension: *confbridge.conf* [testbridge] type=bridge video_mode=follow_talker max_members=20 mixing_interval=10 internal_sample_rate=auto record_conference=yes *extension.conf* exten => 6100,1,Answer() same => n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,admin)=yes) same => n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,marked)=yes) same => n,ConfBridge("Ad-hoc",testbridge,default_user,sample_user_menu) Is it possible to monitor the video / audio of the conference without joining via a client?

Alt-Insert on a macbook pro keyboard over an RDC connection

- by Lorin

How do you send alt-insert (resharper 'generate' keyboard shortcut) over an RDC connection from a macbook pro keyboard? I'm using CoRD as my RDC client if that matters. I've seen fn+m and fn+enter online as suggestions for the insert key, but neither seems to work for me.

Operate on pairs of rows of a data frame

- by lorin

I've got a data frame in R, and I'd like to perform a calculation on all pairs of rows. Is there a simpler way to do this than using a nested for loop? To make this concrete, consider a data frame with ten rows, and I want to calculate the difference of scores between all (45) possible pairs. > data.frame(ID=1:10,Score=4*10:1) ID Score 1 1 40 2 2 36 3 3 32 4 4 28 5 5 24 6 6 20 7 7 16 8 8 12 9 9 8 10 10 4 I know I could do this calculation with a nested for loop, but is there a better (more R-ish) way to do it?

Convert a "by" object to a data frame in R

- by lorin

I'm using the "by" function in R to chop up a data frame and apply a function to different parts, like this: pairwise.compare <- function(x) { Nright <- ... Nwrong <- ... Ntied <- ... return(c(Nright=Nright, Nwrong=Nwrong, Ntied=Ntied)) } Z.by <- by(rankings, INDICES=list(rankings$Rater, rankings$Class), FUN=pairwise.compare) The result (Z.by) looks something like this: : 4 : 357 Nright Nwrong Ntied 3 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ : 8 : 357 NULL ------------------------------------------------------------ : 10 : 470 Nright Nwrong Ntied 3 4 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ : 11 : 470 Nright Nwrong Ntied 12 4 1 What I would like is to have this result converted into a data frame (with the NULL entries not present) so it looks like this: Rater Class Nright Nwrong Ntied 1 4 357 3 0 0 2 10 470 3 4 1 3 11 470 12 4 1 How do I do that?

Linux binary built for 2.0 kernel wouldn't execute on 2.6.x kernel.

- by lorin

I was installing a binary Linux application on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64. The app shipped with an old version of gzip (1.2.4), that was compiled for a much older kernel: $ file gzip gzip: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, stripped I wasn't able to execute this program. If I tried, this happened: $ ./gzip -bash: ./gzip: No such file or directory ldd was similarly unhappy with this binary: $ ldd gzip not a dynamic executable This isn't a showstopper for me, since my installation has a working version of gzip I can use. But I'm curious: What's the most likely source of this problem? A corrupted file? Or a binary incompatibility due to being built for a much older {kernel,libc,...}?
