I am setting up a notebook for software demo purpose. The machine has 8GB RAM, a Core i7 Intel CPU, a 128GB SSD, and runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit. The notebook is used as a KVM host and runs a few KVM guests.
All such guests use the virbr0 default bridge. To enable them to communicate with each other using multicast, I added the following to the…
I recently installed OpenVPN on my Ubuntu VPS. Whenenver I try to connect to it, I can establish a connection just fine.
However, everything I try to connect to times out.
If I try to ping something, it will resolve the IP, but will time out after resolving the IP. (So DNS Server seems to be working correctly)
My server.conf has this…
I am running Red Hat 5 32-bit (2.6.18-194.26.1.el5).
The issue is that when I recall any previous command in bash's history, the first character in the command is displayed immediately after the shell prompt, without any intervening space, likeso:
\[me@mymachine tmp]$man mysql
If I enter a Ctrl-C, and retype the command, it looks…

OpenSSH 5.4 added a new method for certificate authentication (changes).
* Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (not X.509). Certificates
contain a public key, identity information and some validity
constraints and are signed with a standard SSH…
What I want/need/desire is to log when a user logs into my FTP server.
Problem: I can't make swatch work the way I should be able to.
This data is logged to a file - but of course these logs are not kept very long. I can't keep the logs around forever, but I can extract data from…
I am looking into upgrading my custom built PC's RAM. I use the machine mostly for gaming, but I don't really know a ton about RAM, so I wanted to ask a few questions.
The research I've done tells me there is a negligible increase in speed for anything above 1600 MHz. is this…

I know there are brew-gem and brew-pip but it is still really easy to get confused. Let's say my Mac OS X is 10.7.2.
There are at least, as far as I know, 3 locations for Python modules (assume 2.7):

I am currently having a problem with a small Linux server that is providing file-sharing services to four Windows 7 32-bit clients. The server is an AMD PhenomX3 with two Western Digital 10EADS (1TB) drives, attached to a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 mainboard and…
I just stumbled upon an interesting bug... Still trying to figure out what is exactly happening. Maybe you can help.
First, the context. I'm currently building yet another man to html converter (for some reasons I won't motivate here, but I need it).

I've been migrating some servers and desktops using Ubuntu 10.04 from getting the users from an old OpenLDAP implementation to a newer Centos Active Directory. I haven't had any problems so far, until I reached a Debian Lenny server.
I've set up the…
It’s the sad truth of my life that even though I’m fascinated by airplanes and flight in general since my childhood days, my body doesn’t like flying. Even the ridiculously short flights inside Germany are taking their toll on me each time. Now…
This is the last day of year 2010 and I would like to add links to all blogs I have posted in this year. First, I would like to mention that I started blogging in ASP.NET Community in May / June 2010 and have really enjoyed writing for my…
One of the unusual things about IPS is its "facet" feature. For
example, if you're a developer using the foo library, you don't
install a libfoo-dev package to get the header files. Intead, you
install the libfoo package, and your…
I came across this article Work for Free that got me thinking.
The goal of every employer is to gain
more value from workers than the firm

no growth, no advance, and no
advantage for the…
I have a pretty clear stance on posting personal information in my blogs. I tend to avoid it almost instinctively. Part of that is because I am a somewhat private person. And the other is because I know how easy it is for personal…

My procedure is this: Read in a line from an input file. Parse each line into first name and last name and insert into the ABC struct. Also, the…
I'm writing a lightweight class whose properties are intended to be publicly accessible, and only sometimes overridden in specific instantiations. There's no provision in the Python language for creating docstrings for class…
