plural to singular blunder
I just got this error: uninitialized constant PriceCurf After much head scratching I remembered the Rails plural to singular mapping rules. My table is price_curves, my object is PriceCurve ... whereas I am guessing Rails thinks the singular ought to br PriceCurf ?! I''m sure there is a simple way around this linguistic blunder that doesn''t involve the use of pigeon English.

Winbindd dies instantly
Hi, I'm trying to set up a Samba 4.1.16 file server for our (Samba 4) domain. But for some reason I can't seem to be able to get it to work. Even worse, I have run out of ideas on how to debug this. I've been tampering with this for quite some time now, but I've come to realize I can't figure this out on my own. Can someone give me some pointers on where to look in order

SAS Controllers
Hi All, first time post so please excuse any blunders We are specifying two servers using supermicro X7DBE+ MB and want to add on a SAS controller for Raid 10. We want to use the CentOS 4.4 X86_64 distro. We are currently considering an Intel CC SRCSAS144E SAS Raid Controller for the servers using 4 Fujitsu 147 GB SAS HDD, and a Adaptec SASC RAID...

...ab root shell for that. This is, BTW why I prefer plain ASCII text human readable config files, and hate the move towards GUI only based administration. One single case is different for me: I do prefer 3ware web RAID admin interface anything else (it more transparently prevents me from making fatal blunders - probably just me). And yes, disabling root user and having sudo instead is on my evil list too: yet another SUID-ed binary, and potential holes due to some garbage in config file... BTW, su (with the same password for root as regular user has), and attempt to use sudo are the fist two things bad...

formatting large volume
I just got a new server with a Dell MD-1000 SAS unit and 6-750 gigabyte drives which are now initializing in RAID 10 which will give me just about 2 terabytes. I vaguely recall reading that fdisk wasn't suitable for partitioning and wonder if I shouldn't be using partd instead. I am also wondering if I should use lvm or just mkfs to create the filesystem. Anyone have suggestions before I

Semi-OT: Backing up maildir
We switched our mail server over from mbox to maildir a few months ago and couldn't be happier - the performance under normal load is incredible. However we now have a problem with backup.. Typically we would run tar on the mail server, sending its output to another server via ssh.. Like this: tar cfp - /home | gzip | ssh other.server (cd /backups && tar xfp -).. I have tried

New controller card issues

Nortel Extranet Client Installer
Hi, My first post to the list so hopefully I'm not making any newbie blunders. Searched high and low for solutions to get the Nortel vpn Extranet client installer to run properly using wine. I get a ton of fixmes like these and lots of other errors, in particular ones to do with DLL32/DLL16/NETDI/SETUP16 - details follow... fixme:key:GetQueueStatus QS_xxxx flags (4000) are...

R_LIBS difficulty ?
Hi, R people. I'm shy reporting this, as a bug in this area sounds very unlikely. Did I make my tests wrongly? I'm still flaky at all this. Let me dare nevertheless, who knows, just in case... Please don't kill me! :-) Not so long ago, I wrote to this list: > (For now, [the library code] works only for me when I do _not_ use `-l > MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL'

FARFON lives!
Some of you have been following our progress on http://farfon.convergence.com.pk as we blundered our way through the development of a low-cost ethernet IP phone that does IAX and augments the client options currently available for the kick-assterisk server. With help from the denizens of #asterisk and kind words of advice from Mr. Spencer and the rest of the gang ... we're proud to have

strings
I am attempting to analyse some behaviour sequence data. The input is an alphabetic string "ASDFGH ... ". I wish to start at one end of the string, peel off each character, and convert to an integer to develop transition matrices etc. My blundering through the ref manual hasn't produced any light. Can this be done easily in R or should I pre-process? I recollect an item

[PATCH] sftp-server argument error handling
When you give sftp-server a bogus -l or -f parameter, it logs a useful error message then blunders on to call log_init() with the bogus value. log_init() then prints a less useful message to stderr and exits. The following patch tidies this up by only printing the more useful error to stderr and not blundering on afterwards. --- sftp-server.c.orig Mon Jun 18 16:37:46 2007 +++ sftp-server.c Mon...

lmer, p-values and all that
Dear Help: I am trying to follow Professor Bates' recommendation, quoted by Professor Crawley in The R Book, p629, to determine whether I should model data using the 'plain old' lm function or the mixed model function lmer by using the syntax anova(lmModel,lmerModel). Apparently I've not understood the recommendation or the proper likelihood ratio test in question (or both) for I

[LLVMdev] Why Is This Illegal?
Can anyone tell me where my blunder is in the following program? llvm-as reports: llvm-as: testit.ll:11: Can't store 'opaque *' into space of type 'opaque *'! Which doesn't seem to make sense to me. What is it that is illegal about storing a pointer to opaque in a space that is of type pointer to opaque? Is it just that you can't store pointers to opaque? %path =

R web site-Useability & finding varous bits of documentation
I was starting to write a note to a prospective R-user and came to the point of explaining how to get useful introductory information on R. After mentioning the Into and the FAQs I went on to try to explain how to use a lot of the contributed information. However I realised that there seems to be no direct way to get to Other Publications or Contributed Documenation. The best I have seen is

The attachment is my smb.conf file. I created the needed paths, I even made sure the ermissions are set! I created asmbusers file with contains the following

R-beta: t.test
As a very new user of R, and a user of S with very limited experience, I thought I would start humbly with a simple t.test. The response to the command sequence sample <- scan() 4 5 6 7 8 9 t.test(sample,mu=20) rather surprised me, because of the idiosyncratic choice of a confidence interval for the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn. I asked my colleague Bob Henery
