If you had to rate which printer brand works better with Linux (Fedora and Centos), what would it be? TIA, Jay

'lo, So yesterday, one of our clients had the misfortune of having the disk that their Asterisk config (*.conf) was stored on take a dirt nap. Of course, Asterisk was still running at the time, and everything continued to work (except for voicemail, which was stored on the same disk) right up until I shut down Asterisk to investigate what was going on. Because the disk was dead, though, I

Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS,

Hi, What are people doing for backups ? My current process is LVM snapshot and backup from that to NFS share. But there seems to be hints around the internet that people use/abuse "doveadm backup" for backup purposes even though it seems its original intention was for transferring mailboxes between dovecot instances. Assuming its ok to "doveadm backup" to an NFS share, is it

Hi, I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to sort out some data in R. I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria in hierarchical order. A sample of this file can be generated using: tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection(' G9SS7BA01D15EC...

I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown. Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot processes. System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686. Suggestions about what component should receive the

I recently suffered the misfortune of a corrupted winbindd_idmap.tdb file on my Samba PDC. Since we run several other Samba servers (file, print, proxy, etc.) as well as around 50 Win32 clients, the recovery and clean up was a pain. I'm glad we do not have 1000 clients... To this point I was not running a BDC. I realize now that this was probably a bad thing. However, in addition to adding a

Thanks a lot, Kevin. I have a new Linux box and tried to set it to UTC but I think gnome outsmarted me... I'll use -rt and maybe ignore timestamps entirely rather than the window. If I find something wrong on the USB stick I can always copy it again. I love the -c option, but it takes forever on slow media.

KVM version 84 Host OS: Centos version: 2.6.18-92.el5 Guest OS: Windows Server 2008 Web Processor: Intel Xeon L5420 Quad-Core I have installed kvm version 84 from .rpm's on lfarkas.org. Without the --no-acpi option, Windows 2008 boots fine. With the --no-acpi option, the VM displays the following: Windows Boot Manager Windows failed to start...

I run a pair of dovecot servers for personal small domains with several layers of backup in place ... - The two dovecot servers replicate to each via a Tinc vpn mesh. That gives email resiliency. - All mail is replicated via offlineimap to a 3rd server over that Tinc vpn. It's on the mesh, it has space, so why not ? - All mail is replicated as well as via mbsync to a zfs dataset on my

We currently have a Brother MFC-5490CN. Printer firmware is dated June 1010. (yeah, 10 years old). Few years ago the brother software wouldn't work for printing under Fedora. No problem, can print under Windows 10. Then it stopped scanning. Could still print...under Windows. Now, to fix the scanning features working I installed updated drivers under Windows, now it scans like champ, but

Hello Matt, I've had similar misfortunes too with interdomain trusts. I think you're working along the right lines since you seem to want to do the same thing as I. However the NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL is an error I always get when trying to connect to the IPC$ share of the PDC of the trusting domain. In my case the trusting PDC is a Windows 2003 Server. I know it's not an issue

Any Brother printer that I've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with either didn't work at all or if could be made to work, it didn't work for long. If it's a Brother, run away as fast as you can. They're

#1 yes, you should use -rt instead of -a as everything else in -a is incompatible with vfat. #2 timestamps will always be a problem on vfat. It has a 1 or 2 second resolution so --modify-window=2 is a common solution. However, if you live somewhere that has yearly clock changes (we call it daylight savings time) those will cause the timestamps to be off by an hour on top of the 1-2 second

Don't know what else to call this. Googling and some time on the IRC channel haven't gotten me anywhere. Here's the sitch, which is a bit complicated but is something my customers are in fact encountering on an everyday basis: 1. Bob is on a Zap channel talking through the PSTN to Carol. Both have the misfortune, like so many of us, of having LECs who do not offer disconnect
