I have a custom daemon that is managed by upstart on my Ubuntu server. It works perfectly except that I need to capture (log) the daemon's output. The official stanzas page says that I can use console logged to do this, but what file does it log to?
I've also read that console logged is no longer a valid stanza. I'm currently using 0.3.9 (Hardy)…
We would like to encrypt the entire disk of a Snow Leopard workstation running some sensitive file, database and web services. PGP does not yet work for 10.6, and we cannot use FileVault as it is not compliant with FIPS and would require non-standard installation of services.
What whole-disk options are available that are known to work with…
I have set up a Mac mini as a jukebox that streams audio to an Airport Express in another room in the house, using the AirPlay/AirTunes feature in iTunes. I control this with the iOS Remote app, and this works great.
At the present time, it looks like the Mac mini's copy of iTunes gets taken over by the Remote app, while streaming.
If I…
Is there a definitive answer for how to stop intermittent "skips" or pauses while playing music from iTunes to an airport express connected to my home stereo? When I read other forums I see a wealth of posts that say "I did XYZ and it's fixed" followed by "I tried XYZ and it didn't work."
This does not appear to be signal strength…
I've read about a lot of people using their Mac Minis as a file server, or media centre or something similar.
Does the mini function alright as a standard desktop PC? The Mac will be used primarily for web development, that is, it will need to run Coda, Photoshop, possible Firefox and Safari at the same time. So it will need…
Wired connection. Desktop. It downloads and installs fine but at the point where the login is supposed to pop up. Nothing happens. Bradford says I have normal network access and it never shows it scanning. It just installs and does nothing. I have all of the updates and everything Bradford needs. And I've used the internet at…
How can I create a bootable flash drive to install Windows XP from under Linux?
I have Ubuntu installed on my PC and want to install Windows XP parallelly. I already have an NTFS hard drive, so what I need is to install Windows there and make it available through a boot manager. I also have a Windows installation .iso.
So…
This may be a naive question since I'm new to this and I cannot find any results about mdadm+zfs, but after some testing it seems it might work:
The use case is a server with RAID6 for some data that is backed-up somewhat infrequently. I think I'm well served by any of ZFS or RAID6. Platform is Linux. Performance is…

Recently one of the linux servers that I access was compromised to steal passwords and ssh keys using a modified ssh binary. This lead me to question if the attacker had compromised my OSX Laptop which had ssh access turned on. A sophos virus scan turned up nothing, and I did not have rkhunter installed…
I am using Sun VirtualBox v. 3.1.4 on WinXP. Host OS is also WinXP. In the Host Machine settings, Serial Ports, Port 1, I set:
Enable Serial Port
Port Number: COM1
Port Mode: Host Device
Port File/Path: COM1
In the Host OS Device Manager I don't see COM1 port. What is wromg?
I have a server with a Biostar P4M8PM7 ("Pro-M7") board based on a VIA chipset. It's a strange board to put in a server because it seems like more of a desktop board to me, but alas!
It takes DDR2-667 (PC5300) RAM. What I can't figure out is the maximum amount I can put in it, as I cannot find the manual anywhere…
Hello,
Is it possible somehow to get status of a HBA card using PowerShell or any other API instead of logging to a server and run "powermt display path"?
Thanks.
[This question is not about getting your LDAP password to authenticate you for SSH logins. We have that working just fine, thank you :-) ]
Let's suppose you're on a Linux network (Ubuntu 11.10, slapd 2.4.23), and you need to write a set of utilities that will use ldapmodify, ldapadd, ldapdelete, and so on. You…
Is there any way to revive a dead laptop battery?
I have a three year old Dell Latitude laptop that I've been using pretty intensively. After a year or so, the battery dropped dead - if I plug the laptop out it goes into hibernation in a matter of seconds. Probably this was because I kept working on it plugged…
I've set up a VPN connection to my work network on my home PC - running Windows 7
It connects fine.
Once connected, I can ping machines that are on my work network using my home pc, however, if I try to RDP to them, it doesn't connect...
It seems to initially connect,

I am currently building a new server. I have options between say
32GB Memory for 2 CPUs, DDR3, 1066MHz (8x4GB Dual Ranked RDIMMs)
and
36GB Memory for 2 CPUs, DDR3, 1066MHz (18x2GB Dual Ranked RDIMMs)
Both at the same price.
Should I go for the higher ram amount or the fewer chips?
This will be for…
I'm the IT manager at an animal shelter in Upstate New York. We have a Windows network with about 50 desktops running Windows XP Pro. We used to use CA eTrust Antivirus, but that product didn't work too well (too many infections got through). About six months ago, we switched to using Symantec…
Hi,
I have been experiencing problems with icons in the dock. When I open an application that is not in the dock (e.g. from the finder), a transparent square appears. Same thing happens in the application switcher (i.e. command + tab).
Hi everybody,
A few days back my Win7 Ultimate started bugging me to install the RAID drivers for my ASUS P6T Delux. Fine, I'm all for having up to date drivers even for stuff I don't use. The problem is that the drivers I download from both ASUS support site here and the ones I get directly…
I have a (tried and tested) setup involving:
2x Load balancing nodes on a floating IP via Heartbeat, load balancing 2 tomcat servers.
2x Tomcat servers
2x Galera Cluster MySQL servers synchronously replicating (+1 arbitrator node)
All are evenly spread across 2 physical nodes.
Now, I…
Hello,
I'm trying to enable NTLM authentication on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine with IIS 7.5 for a specific file in my web root. I've been following these instructions http://docs.moodle.org/en/NTLM_authentication#IIS_Configuration
In the IIS Manager I open the Authentication module,…
I am building a network containing notably a laptop running XP and a computer running Windows 7. Both computer have shared folders and the 7 has a shared printer, to which another laptop running 7 is able to print.
If I attempt to see the laptop's network shares on the PC, everything…
I have a Centos5 box running tomcat5 (a version before 5.5, there's no bin/version.sh script).
When attempting to start tomcat, whether through init.d or service, I get the FAILED message with no other information provided. The date on catalina.out changes but it has no contents and…
I need to output the system audio from a desktop to both the HDMI output (sending to the display that functions as the room speakers) and via the analog stereo output (to feed the reference input on a microphone array for Skype).
The only solution I've found so far for this is an…
