I say we take off, and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

The reason you have to use
dpkg –force-confmiss is because whenever your config files (<conffiles>) are gone, dpkg
assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted. You can also
reinstall them using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o
DPkg::Options::=”–force-confmiss” –reinstall install <packagename>; or using aptitude,
aptitude -o DPkg::Options::=”–force-confmiss” reinstall <packagename>;

cPanel’s easyapache scripts are the only way to fly (or all bets are off, you wanna play go build a debian server).

So set the systemwide python to be python2.4.

This is a note to self when everything else breaks from using the old version.

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm python
sudo ln -s python2.4 ./python

EDIT: That fraked all sorts of things. Looks like hellanzb from the cli for now.

A flickr plugin. This is me in Sydney 2000. I just really like the shot. Skinny happy and tanned wearing a ‘wifebeater‘ on the madman. Happy days.

So new house only has phone line in the kitchen. Solution: WDS using Tomato of course.

So now I have one wrt54g connecting to the net in PPPOE Bridge mode with a billion modem (meh, average modems).

And one wrt54g in my office that acts as an extension of the main one. So plug that into a switch and all the computers here in the office can connect via ethernet.

One more for the lounge and the movie/music server and I’m sorted.

The important bit is ‘force user’ and ‘force group’ otherwise your local user won’t have permissions to the shared directory.

sudo apt-get install samba

/etc/samba/smb.conf

Changes:

security = share

guest account = nobody

[stuff]
writeable = yes
path = /stuff
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
force user = gyaresu
force group = users
browsable = yes

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

So I tried the 8800GT 512MB to see whether crysis would run ‘aight. No go.

Anyway, while messing around with the card under linux I upgraded the nvidia drivers to the latest from the nvidia site (ubuntu doesn’t have them in the repos yet).

My stupid second monitor couldn’t have its stats detected (edid).

So off I go AGAIN fsck’ing around with xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files to figure out what’s changed THIS driver release.

Anyway:  The Error

root@sdf:~/x11# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old |grep -i edid
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device DFP-1
(–) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (90, 88); computed from “UseEdidDpi” X config

The Fix (get the edid.bin from the one working monitor under nvidia-settings, look in the GPU settings. You can save it from there.)

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen0″
Device “Videocard0″
Monitor “Monitor0″
DefaultDepth 24
Option “TwinView” “1″
Option “CustomEDID” “DFP-1:/home/gyaresu/edid.bin”
Option “RenderAccel” “true”
Option “metamodes” “DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; DFP-0: 1680×1050 +0+0, DFP-1: NULL”
EndSection
The result:

root@sdf:~/x11# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -i edid
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option “CustomEDID” “DFP-1:/home/gyaresu/edid.bin”
(–) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (90, 88); computed from “UseEdidDpi” X config

meh.
