I've installed the and when I go to start from the menu, I'm presented with a window that says: "Error: Invalid Parameter." If I click on OK, I get "Error: There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file." I'm running Wine version 1.4 on Ubuntu 11.10.

...lable error. Issue 2: If I don't set up each user account (w/ domain) on the WinXP machine I want to logon to, I get some kind of very, very limited logon. It almost seems to be corrupted. Issue 3: This is my main frustration - I cannot seem to block access to other peoples shares! EG user chrisg can access the nolan share, etc. Final Issue: Not a big problem, but I can't figure out how to set up the CUPS drivers for the pdf-generator. Is it a winbind problem, bad config, or am I just a moron? Attached is my smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from gridlock.workgroup....

...ail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd files from the boot partition and the grub conf file? TIA ChrisG

A small script to see what SCSI commands are being issued by a system: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/chrisg?entry=scsi_d_script Still work in progress as I needs to handle larger CDBs but it is a start, since I don''t have a disk that big it is not a problem for me yet. Also getting the return scsi packet is a hack but so far I can see no alternative short of knowing about all the possible comp...

I have created a script that gets a snapshot and backs the snapshot to tape. I would like to keep the snapshot around for one week, than destroy it using the following command: "zfs destroy snapshotlvolume." Is there a way to automate the destroying of snapshots that are older that x amount of days? This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or

Hi, I am tracking down a problem and would like to know how I can follow a forked process with my dtrace script, or how I can trace a dynamic library. Here is the problem. I am tracing dtlogin, and specifically I am trying to determine what error libpkcs11`<routine> is returning. It turns out dtlogin forks a lot of processes, and I believe the second forked process is the one that winds

Is this possible? I want an external case with 4 HD in, each having an individual eSata cable. I plug in this case only when needed (each HD plugs into my PC separately), and do something like ">import ZFS pool" and use my ZFS raid. When done, I unplug it with ">export ZFS pool" or something similar command. This way I save energy, less noise, etc. I want it only as a

Hi all, I tried to add a new user to a Samba share, I did all the usual: made a Unix account on the Unix server for the user which was the same as the user's window's UID. Put her name as a valid user for that directory in server:/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf, and stopped and started server:/sbin/init.d/samba server; nothing worked. Interesting observations: 1- After performing the steps

I got overzealous with snapshot creation. Every 5 mins is a bad idea. Way too many. What''s the easiest way to delete the empty ones? zfs list takes FOREVER

...cting to an iSCSI target, and then changing the IP address of the target. Basically we have two test Solaris servers running, and I followed the instructions on the post below to share a zpool on Server1 using the iSCSI Target, and then import that into a new zpool on Server2. http://blogs.sun.com/chrisg/date/20070418. Everything appeared to work fine until I moved the servers to a new network (while powered on), which changed their IP addresses. The server running the iSCSI Target is still fine, it has it''s IP address and from another machine I can see that the iSCSI target is still vis...

Cheers. It is this time of year again: CentOS is going to Linuxtag 2009 (well, at least we will try to get a booth there). If you want to be part of the team there, stay tuned for news here in centos-promo at centos.org. Deadline for the projects is 24th of march (short call!), I will try to apply sooner than that >:) Cheers and thanks, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A

Hallo. Filesystem quotas used to work well under Solaris 9 and ufs filesystems on the Sparc platform even with two rules for the folders in the users home directories /home/group/user and the separate filesystem /var/mail holding the inboxes: plugin { quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail } Since we upgraded last year to Solaris 10

Dear ALL, I need some help with bash scripting, a script that search the content of multiple files and replace old string ip "10.5.1.10" with the new string ip "127.128.1.10" it will search in specific folder and sub folders Thanks

Does anyone know whether the DB SQL from Russian Fedora Free Updates for CentOS 6 (RHEL 6) (libdb-sql-devel-5.2.36-5.el6.R.x86_64.rpm) will work with the version of Berkeley Data Base on CentOS and RH 6?

Greets; This centos6.2 system seems to have python-2.6.6, but that is turning into a huge problem because I now have a backlog of about 40 packages that will not upgrade because they all need python 2.4. That, and importing gpg keys doesn't seem to be helping in that regard. But first, how to go about down grading python to 2.4? Thanks. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be
