Hi All,
Could anyone recommend a good Support ticketing software?
Preferably open source and easy to manage and backup.
If one would recommend a commercial one, please do ?
Thank you,
Adarsh
What are the AAC Sample Rate and Bit Rate settings to set in order to encode an audio track with a quality comparable to MP3 320kbps?
I need to backup a DVD movie, the default settings for AAC are
Bitrate (KB/s) 128
Sample Rate (HZ) 44100
should I set
Bitrate (KB/s) 320
Sample Rate (HZ) 48000
or the default are already good?
So I just got a nice new VPS service. I was wondering what a good number of 'MaxClients' would be, for a server that will host a personal website, some blogs, etc, and your experiences with one server maxclients stuff! The default of Ubu server is 150.
Does anyone have a good technique (or tutorial) to implement rulers in CM within a C# Windows form? I want to display the rulers that indicate your mouse position to allow a more accurate positioning of images.
I am setting up an Ubuntu server with nginx and PHP. I have read about many different configurations and extensions that could be added and it is pretty hard to know about all of them. I would like to hear from you, sysadmins, what PHP configuration and extensions do you recommend?
I have read about:
Suhosin for security
Alternative PHP Cache for speed and efficiency
Memcache for speed and efficiency
PHP FastCGI Process Manager for speed and efficiency
But I have no idea if they are good or not, and if I should use them together.
Is there any good software to copy CD+Graphics (aka Karaoke CDs) for Windows 7? Preferably free. I can copy the audio portion just fine, but for some reason I keep looking the karaoke lyrics / graphics portion. It used to be that a lot of the software supported these specifically, but now I am having a hard time finding any mention of this feature, and the ones I have tried didn't work.
I have a Synology DS213 with two 600GB drives in RAID 1.
Last night the device reported that my second drive had become degraded and that I should replace it. When I ran a extensive S.M.A.R.T. test the results said that the drive is okay.
How can I confirm that the drive is actually bad? Is there any case that the degraded drive is the good one and that it is actually the other drive that is bad?
Hi,
I setup a cron for taking backup of my SVN repo( 8 GB) to another server. But some times I get errors and I feel that this is not the proper way to back an svn to a remote server.
I used the command rsync -avz myrepo.
Please suggest me a good way to do svn backup to a remote server. I cannot zip the files and transfer it daily since it's 7 GB.
Thanks
I'd like to start a collection of good, free cheat sheet resources for system administrators. Please add your favorite ones. From the Wikipedia "cheat sheet" article:
In more general usage, a "cheat sheet"
is any short (one or two page)
reference to terms, commands, or
symbols where the user is expected to
understand the use of such terms etc
but not necessarily to have memorized
all of them.
Does anyone know if it's possible to switch from a hardware based RAID0 to a software one? Have a broken raid controller (vintage, wont find it anywhere) but I know the Array is in good conditions.
Has anyone tried this, and/or know if its possible?
Thank you for your time.
My english isn't that good, I hope you understand what I wan't to accomplish
I have a column (A) with different zip codes ( total of 3583 rows). I need a formula/function to go through each cell and the come up with sum of how many instances (column B) there are of the same zip code (column C).There are probably more than hundred different zip codes so I can't do it manually.
Thanks in advance.
I love idea of TextMate that any directory opened in it is already a project. But sometimes I it would be good to ignore files for certain dir and I don't like idea of creating project file in that dir or remembering how I named project file in some special folder like ~/.tmproject. Is there some sort of plugin or something like this which will allow me to ignore files in dir? Perfect solution would be reading .gitignore file.
I am using Avast Home Edition in my Dell Mini 10v. As you know the notebook is using an under powered processor which is not really suitable for browsing some rich internet websites. So I am in the middle of improving the performance.
Will uninstalling Avast and using Microsoft Security Essentials will improve the performance? the memory usage of avast is quite low but I can't compromise security. Is Security essentials a good bet?
I mostly use Notepad++ for dealing with XML files. It would be good if Notepad++ parsed and colorized my files based on the XML language when I open the files. Instead, I have to open the file, pick XML from the Languages menu.
Is there a way to tell Notepad++ that XML is the default language and to treat the files accordingly.
Does anyone here write their own customized AutoYaST scripts for building SLES servers?
I'm not talking about generating them with yast2 autoyast.
If so, have you found a way to verify the syntax? xmllint is good as far as telling you that the XML syntax is valid, but with an upto date DTD, it can't tell you anything more, and the shipped DTDs are out-of-date.
I've opened a ticket with Novell on this, but who knows when and what I'll hear back.
Hi all,
Having difficulties setting up Bare Metal recovery in DPM 2010.
Does anyone know of a good guide/walkthrough to talk me through a basic setup? I have tried most of the DPM knowledge base without much luck.
I can perform System State backups, but as soon as I enable bare metal the jobs start failing. Error codes are not coming up anything on google at all.
Thanks in advance
I'm looking for a way to configure the ftp setting in my Redhat EL 5.4 (64bit) server in order to transfer some files from my client machine. I have search all over the net but couldn't find any good resources. I'm really new to Redhat and requesting a proper guidance.
Thanks.
When I try to surf the internet while downloading files (http based, torrent etc.), it becomes painful to open web pages since download traffic is mostly allocated for downloads. Is there a program that can manage this process so that when I surf the weight will be given to internet browser, and when the browser is idle, the weight will be on the download side? I'm using Firefox 3.6.2 on Win7, so any good Firefox addons or Windows based freewares are acceptable.
I'm using a 13" laptop with FullHD (1920x1080) resolution and an external screen with FullHD resolution too, but of 22". It's quite strange to have a much bigger screen with the same "area space", and I was thinking about manually adding a custom resolution to linux config. I know how to do that, but I'm not sure about a good resolution to setup.
Any ideas? Any "don't do that please" answer? If yes, why?
Is there a good Firefox plug-in which embeds Internet Explorer in a tab yet includes Firefox functionality like the built-in spell checker to underline in red misspelled words?
Does anyone know how to tell windows 7 to bar a wireless network? It keeps logging into a random open one with no bandwidth my neighbors have instead of the good one we have here. I keep unchecking "automatically log in if available" and it keeps re-checking itself. I want it to NEVER log into this network no matter what without manual intervention. I do not want to disable auto connecting, just tell it "do not ever connect to this one without my express permission".
i'm reading cloud vendors solutions for the distributed storage systems such as Amazon Dynamo and Google Big Table.
and really confused in two terms :
what is Distrubuted file systems for in cloud ?

what are differences of these terms and functionalities ?

Thanks
I'm wondering if there is any good/easy way to get the IIS configurations synchronized?
I'm going to be setting up a pair of IIS Servers with Network Load Balancing. I can get the data files (html, etc) synchronized all fine and well, but I'll be adding new Websites fairly often and I'd like to avoid doing the IIS configuration on multiple servers.
