Hello list, in a previous post I mentioned I had managed to make USB-Stick with 2048 byte sectors bootable. In fact I wiped out my Linux partitions bootrecord. This was with an old version of extlinux as still distributed by openSuSE. Interestingly enough the current version syslinux-3.61-pre2, spares my hard disk, but still seems to live under the impression it is the USB stick. The setup is

We are a small consulting company that uses R to automate several data extraction fuctions from SPSS files -- most notably we create powerpoint slides from a script in Excel (using VBA) which calls R to extract data and place into Excel using RExcel. We're not specialists, and don't really have the time to understand R. Our CIO is the only person who even vaguely understands R, and he does

Hello list, while I managed to install syslinux and have it boot, there seems to be a problem with interpreting filenames. It looks for files in /boot but at the same time does not realize that the "/" is not part of the filename. It prompts me with boot: then every filename I type is set to 2 characters "." 3 characters i.e vmlinuz would appear as vm.lin. To me it looks like

Hello, I am currently running Fedora 15 on an x86_64 system that acts as a whole house server for named, dhcp, nfs, nis, htpp, samba, etc The system is currently running samba-3.5.11-71 with kernel 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64. The system is fully patched as of today. However, this issue has existed for at least 2 years and I am at a loss to debug it. I have a simple samba configuration for

man_in_shack banned me during a casual conversation where i was explaining my dual x server wine setup, saying I was contradicting myself. I obviously wasn't trying to contradict myself, if I did, and I don't see how this is ban-worthy under any circumstance.

Where I work a lot of people end up using Excel spreadsheets for storing data. This has limitations and maybe some less than obvious problems. I'd like to recommend a uniform way for storing and archiving data collected in the department. Most of the data could be stored in simple csv type files but it would be nice to have something that stores more information about the variables and units.

I have several ssh keys in the ~/.ssh directory of my desktop machine. As a result whenever I try to connect to a system which uses password authentication I get the "Too many authentication failures" error. Yes, I know I can get round this by setting PreferredAuthentications but this is rather a nuisance to have to do individually for all systems that use password authentication. It

Nico brought up this topic and made me think whether the current choice of --build-id was the right one or not. Currently, we compute a FNV1 hash for an entire resulting file and store it to .note.gnu.build-id section. It's one of the slowest parts of the linker because reading every byte takes time. IIRC, it usually takes about 10% of total link time. In the first place, I believe it was

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some

How often is this the case ? ??? > If extlinux is the system bootloader, then often what you call the > system partition will be the one that should have extlinux installed on it. I think in most cases people try to make _some_other_ disk bootable. If I boot with extlinux as the bootloader why should I want to install it again ? Apart from that it would then require -u not -i.

How is it our activity level on RubyForge continues to fall? What exactly makes up ''activity''? Does anyone know? I would have thought with all the commits and the release that our activity figures would be way up there. Roy

Have just upgraded from 3.0.14a to 3.0.25b. On starting winbindd it puts the following in /var/log/messages: initialize_winbindd_cache: clearing cache and re-creating with version number 1 All the winbind UID/GID mappings are lost and it starts again from scratch. Hence all file ownership / ACLs on this samba server become invalid. Anyone else seen this? Why does it see fit to destroy this

Hello, Recent code owner activities have led to what I would call loss of referential integrity in the CODE_OWNERS.TXT file. Changes are fine but the information in the CODE_OWNERS.TXT does not allow to positively identify code owner of the particular file or patch. The problem stems from the usage of the "description (D)" field which is overloaded with meaning. Most people put

Hello! I found a sample I can ABX successfully when encoded at 133.333 kbps.

I''m a slow learner when it come to shortcuts and i got real tired looking up Textmate''s Rails snippets & commands in the context menu. So i fired up trusty OmniGraffle and quickly created a little Cheat Sheet for all default snippets/macros/commands in Textmate''s current Rails Bundle. Certainly helped me to remember these quickly. So, if you''re

Hi all, If you're in Melbourne Australia and interested in Asterisk, you're invited to join us for a casual evening to talk about Asterisk, VOIP, networks, and just generally get geeky about IP phone stuff. Ultimately, I think it would be interesting and useful to turn this into a monthly get-together, so I'd like to talk about that too. Anyone with an interest is welcome; from

Folks: I would like to propose a new R list, tentatively labeled r-contents. I wish to briefly explain the purpose and format here and solicit public comments, pro or con, so feel free to criticize or suggest a better name and other improvements or alternatives. R presently consists of a suite of about a dozen core recommended packages and several hundred contributed packages comprising
