Has anyone set up monitoring of Macrium Reflect backups using Nagios? If not that specific backup software, any general suggestions for how to set up Nagios to monitor backups?
I have four host computers running lighttpd webservers. they are sitting behind a hspa modem, which each occupying a http port between [81 - 84]. 80 is taken by the modem itself.
The port forwarding is setup correctly, however, only a portion of any webpage I request from any of the hosts comes through (they all fails after %20 of the page).
If I put the host on port 81 into the dmz, it serves pages fine. The others do not respond to the dmz treatment.
Is it possible the web content on the hosts somehow require ports aside from their respective http port? Or is it possible that even though the server.port in the lighttpd_ssl.conf file is set, the individual hosts are still expecting to serve on port 80?
I am not familiar with lighttpd, nor did i set them up. they are running on video encoders i purchased. I can grab any files from them required for further information on the problem.
Many extensions can translate selected texts. What if the text located within selection box? Meanwhile I can't translate the whole website because google translator says "Sorry, we are unable to translate the page you requested."
I can use firebug to explore html, copy the text to google translator and do translation. Wondering if there is such add-on for firefox to translate text from "non selectable" HTML elements.
Thx
I bought this laptop used from a friend. The laptop has 500gb of storage; however, the drive is partioned. The C: drive has an allocated space of 50gb whereas the partition has 396gb allocated to it. How do i either take some of the space from the partition and move it to the C: drive, or get rid of the partition?
I've done some searching and people say I'm supposed to be able to use "Disc Management" to "delete volume," but when i right click on the partition the "delete volume" is not enabled. Here is a picture:
I have a normal LCD monitor as my primary monitor and an HD LCD television as a 2nd monitor (connected through HDMI). I also have a set of normal speakers for the computer (a Windows 7 machine) that I previously used (before I was using the TV as a 2nd monitor). When I am using the TV as a 2nd monitor, I would like audio to come from it. However, I'm oftentimes using the TV as a TV, in which case I would like the audio from my computer to come from my speakers. Is there any way to accomplish this?
It seems that if I have the TV set up as the default audio, then even if I turn the TV off (or, more likely, to the input from my cable box), then the audio still goes through that rather than my speakers. Is there a solution that does not require me to manually change the settings every time I want to switch contexts?
Hi,
I have install svn on ubuntu 9.10. But when I try to use svn to checkout code for an open source project, i get this error:
$ svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk valgrind
svn: Berkeley DB error for filesystem '/home/svn/repos/valgrind/db' while opening 'nodes' table:
Cannot allocate memory
svn: bdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
Thank you.
Any commercial or free software to give me a list and descriptions of patch uninstalls and let me remove selected ones?
I've tried Windows XP Update Remover, but seems it doesn't provide any information for majority of items and I have to delete one by one...
I also know I can do it manually, but just wondering if there is more professional software to make it more accurate and quick.
Is there a preferred way to create root file-systems for Debian-based customized installations? We are currently going with multistrap but although it's better than hand-crafted chroot stuff, it still has a lot of edges and corners. Is there a more reliable and less error-prone way to produce a root filesystem of a Debian installation with some additional .debs installed?
(I don't want to send out a Debian installer with a preseed file though.)
I am looking for an alternative to Softerra's LDAP Administrator, simply for the price is over-budget for a small team to test the LDAP credentials.
So I really appreciate if someone can point me to some other alternatives for a Windows-based environment. We've got our Active Directory setup already, I only need a tool to confirm the access as a proof to customers. Sorry I am not a security guru, I am quite the opposite...
Thanks for any suggestion in advance!
The Mac Pro has a specific hard drive for sale in the Apple Store for $549.00. The drive has the following specs:
Serial ATA
3GB per second
7200 RPM
Amazon has a hard drive with the same specs for $169.99.
The only difference I can tell is that the Apple hard drive label says it has "Apple HDD Firmware". What exactly is the benefit of this firmware and is there something I am missing that make up for the price difference in these two drives?
Update: My initial comparison between the two drive was unfair. Apparently 2TB drives that are 3 GB/S and 7200 RPM are quiet a bit more than $169.99. Dell has a 2 TB SATA Caviar Black from Western Digital that is $319.99, which is closer to Apple's price.
I have a Dell Latitude D520. First with Windows XP and now with Windows 7, it completely freezes/locks up if I dock it while it's awake. If I hibernate/sleep, dock, then wake/resume, everything's fine.
I installed the Dell Notebook System Software for Vista (No Win7 version available) and updated the bios to the latest version but the problem persists.
As long as I remember to put this thing in standby before I dock it, it's extremely reliable--it survives my daily commute and heavy use and typically only reboots a few times a month.
Any other ideas for things I can try?
As part of provisioning our new server (see other SF) I'd like to find out the following:
ratio of random to sequential reads & writes
amount of data read & written at a time (pref in histogram form)
I can already figure out our reads/writes on a per-operation and overall data level using iostat & dstat, but I'd like to know more. For example, I'd like to know that we're mostly random 16kb reads, or a lot of sequential 64kb reads with random writes.
We're (currently) on an Ubuntu 10.04 VM.
Is there a utility that I can run that will record and present this information for me?
Okay, this is a VERY long shot, but it's worth a try: Is there a tool that runs as a Windows Service, regularly checks a POP3 e-Mail account and for every mail, prints out the attachments (PDF or XPS)?
In development, I'd like to have changes to my application propagate immediately. "MaxRequestsPerChild 1" restarts each process after a request, but if there are multiple server processes, changes still don't propagate until each process restarts.
I've tried several different directives to limit the number of server processes to 1:
StartServers 1
MinSpareThreads 1
MaxSpareThreads 1
ThreadLimit 1
ThreadsPerChild 1
MaxClients 1
MaxRequestsPerChild 1
Apache still starts with multiple (3) apache2 processes. I'm using the mpm_worker module
How do I get tcsh to stop asking if I want to list files in a directory that may have a lot of auto-completes?
For example, if I do: xemacs ../"TAB" to get the list of files it asks:
There are 371 rows, list them anyway? [n/y]
I don't want it to ask this, just list them.. it's getting tiresome.
(Or how to at least set the tolerance to a higher number of auto-completes before it asks)
Thanks.
While I do have a surge protector to protect against overvoltage (hopefully), I have nothing against undervoltage. When a lightning storm hits, I had the lights flickering at some point. The PC continued to run, but it got me thinking of getting a UPS as a way to a) have a clean 120V/60Hz power source and b) have a way to shut down the PC in case something bad happens.
I heard not all UPS' protect against power spikes, so I wonder if someone has a recommendation? It does not need to keep the PC on for a long time if the power goes out, it's good enough if it shuts down the PC after 5 minutes or so.
There are 2 PCs connected. One is a Core i7-860 with a Radeon 5870 running Windows 7 Ultimate (so quite power hungry. It uses a 600W PSU but I have no measurements of the actual usage), the other one is a Windoes Home Server, running WHS/Windows Server 2003.
Any recommendations in the low-price segment?
I work for a company that uses standard 2.5" SATA HD's in our product. We presently test them by running the Linux 'badblocks -w' command on them when we get them - but they are 160 gig drives, so that takes like 5 hours (we boot parted magic onto a PC to do the scan). We don't actually build that many systems at a time, so this doable, but seriously annoying.
Is there any research or anecdotal evidence on what a good incoming test for a hard drive should be? I'm thinking that we should just wipe them with all zeros, write out our image, and do a full drive read back. That would end up being only about 1 hour 45 minutes total.
Given that drives do block remapping on their own, would what I've proposed show up any infant mortality just as well as running badblocks?
In what platforms/browsers does Adobe Flash come preinstalled?
I'm pretty sure neither FireFox nor Safari include it on any platform but Chrome on Windows does (not sure about Mac or Linux).
What about IE on a completely vanilla Win XP system? Or Win 7? Maybe mfgs like Dell add it if MS doesn't? Perhaps we can find (or build) a comprehensive list.
Considering that Flash is a significant piece of the web platform, I hope I've asked this on the right place.
I'm trying to install the SP1 update to an RTM Exchange 2010 box. The Client Access Role Prerequisites are failing, complaining that KB979744 isn't installed.
I downloaded the update and tried to install it, however it will not install complaining that 'The update does not apply to your system'.
A discussion on TechNet indicates that I need .NET 2.0 or 3.5 installed (both are). Aside from that I've been unable to find anything helpful.
Hopefully someone has encountered this and knows how to get around it, don't really want to use up a support call on this.
Edit:
This is on a 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter (without Hyper-V) SP2.
Hi. I have implemented rate limiting with Nginx (which works excellently, by the way) and would like to display a custom 503 error page.
I have followed examples on the web without luck.
I am running a simple configuration that looks something like this:
listen x.x.x.x:80
server_name something.com
root /usr/local/www/something.com;
error_page 503 /503.html;
location / {
limit_req zone=default burst=5 nodelay;
proxy_pass http://mybackend;
}
The idea is that our rate limited users would be shown a special page explaining what was going on. The rate limiting is working, but the built-in 503 page is rendering.
Any ideas?
I want to sync some files from a remote server to my local computer. How can I make rsync to just copy the files with a certain file extension in the directory but no subdirectories?
I assumed this to be an easy task, but embarassingly I'm not getting it for nearly 2 hours. So could someone give me an example?
I did various experiments with something like the following command:
rsync -a --include=what? --exclude=what? -e ssh [email protected]:/test /test
I recently switched from Windows to Linux (Linux Mint specifically) on my IBM T61 laptop. Since making the switch, my touchpad has been nearly unusable. When I place one finger on the touchpad, without moving it, the cursor bobs around in a small area as if I am making a number of small movements. I think the cursor is moving around because the sensitivity is too high - just rotating the tip of my finger in place moves the cursor over about one-third of the screen. My trackpad does not suffer from the same problem.
I have lowered the sensitivity in the mouse settings to its minimum and I have tried to follow the advice from http://iruel430.blogspot.com/2010/06/lowering-mouse-sensitivity-in-ubuntu.html and also reduce laptop touch pad sensitivity in ubuntu. But, in both cases, my touchpad still has the same behavior.
Perhaps there is an xinput setting I am overlooking? Is there a better driver I can use for my T61?
