Why does libxml2 depend on it if it doesn't exist? Is there some reason I cannot install it on this system? What the gently caress. For example, aptitude -P install libxml2 doesn't say a god drat thing, which is apt's way of telling us it is already installed, apparently. other people fucked around with this message at 17:15 on May 17, 2011 |

Why are my ssh tunnels slower than dogshit? I've tried two different connections. One is a T1 (FreeBSD) and the other is on a business cable modem, 20mb, on the same provider/geographic location as the one I'm using, it runs Debian. I also keep getting this message on the console: channel 31: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed Using Firefox 4 and OpenSuse 11.4. Tons of lag when using the SSH console and they don't close right (or take forever) to log out.

I just built a fedora 14 machine and I can't do local port forwarding through it when ssh'ing in. I can't seem to find anything with google, I've been doing this for years on many boxes and it "just works" so I have no idea where to look/troubleshoot. I'm connecting to ssh and getting my cli just fine. I have a visitor/vendor lan at work that's internet only and I have the fedora pc and a windows pc on it. I'm on a laptop trying to ssh in to fedora and forward vnc and rdp ports from the windows machine to localhost (this laptop using putty). I'm forwarding 3389 of the windows machine to 3390 of the laptop and 5900 of the windows machine to 5900 of the laptop. Windows pc and windows laptop both have firewall disabled. If I do "telnet localhost 3390" (or 5900) it DOES CONNECT but vncviewer or mstsc don't. (also from this laptop I'm having no problems ssh-ing to my house and forwarding ports to windows machines there.) sshd_config has allowtcpforwarding yes but it was commented, I thought that meant it was default but I uncommented it/restarted sshd anyway. No help, I see something in there "permittunnel no" but some googling tells me this is something different. Any ideas? what am I missing here? edit: vnc and rdp work fine on this windows box local lan. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 16:24 on May 18, 2011 |

More blabber: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653579 It looks like they turned that off after FC9 but turned it back on. Why, who knows. With Fedora the first thing to check is 'does it work with selinux disabled', then find the -right- way to make it work with selinux. Or just keep selinux off.

Is there a way to make 'ls' re-load the contents of a directory? Here's what happened. We have a script that does a bunch of stuff, and one thing it does is creates a symlink to another directory. So I'd type 'ls' and see the directories/files, then the script would run and I'd type 'ls' again. I had to cd out of the directory and back in to get it to re-load! what the gently caress.

I just suspect that if 'ls' is the last command you ran, it caches the output or something so you're not actually hitting the HD again. Since in theory, it hasn't changed. But I swear I've done it before where I type 'ls' over and over (say during a download) and the file size updates.

But I swear I've done it before where I type 'ls' over and over (say during a download) and the file size updates. As far as I know, there is no cache that needs to be refreshed here. ls will make the same requests to the kernel for the directory structure & contents each time. (You can see this with "strace ls".) If this data is already cached in memory, no disk access is required, but the data will not be stale, either. Lots of things would fall apart if the VFS inode cache was allowed to differ from the what is physically stored on the disk.

Perhaps a file locking issue? If the goal of the script is to make foo and bar be symlinks after each run and foo ends up being a directory I would look closer at the script instead of the underlying OS. What happens if you whip up a quick shell script that does the same thing? My experience has been that the OS itself works as intended 99.9999999% of the time but applications can do amazingly stupid things.

Since there is no native way to watch streaming netflix in linux, I am trying to use Windows 7 running inside VirtualBox. To my surprise, it actually works, and not too poorly. It could certainly be made more smooth, and I would like to be able to switch the resolution Windows is running at to something wide-screen. Does any one have any tips on making the VM smoother, and is there a way to specify the resolution?

I don't know what you can do to make the VM smoother beyond the obvious stuff like using a CPU that supports virtualization, more RAM, etc. As far as resolution, if you install the guest utilities package, the resolution of the guest should change automatically as you resize the window, make it fullscreen, etc. (I hope this is right for your setup, I use virtualbox opposite of you, windows host/linux guest.)

Forgot though. . . Anyone here have any experience with the perc h700 in linux? I'm looking at a solution with buying one big nasty and virtualizing all servers through KVM (basically over 5 years a single virt server through our place would be as much as one big nasty server + hardware support that I could run 6-10 vm's on). . .

I have it 1gb, but it only ever uses about 500mb, so it seems silly to give it more? Giving it two CPU's seems to help a little bit. The usage graph for both cpu's in task manager is identical for each processor, which seems strange to me. Silverlight seems to peg them at 100% the whole time. Installing the VB package was a big help, as now it does "full screen" correctly. It still isn't perfect, but a lot better.

If you can max out the CPUs you do have assigned, I suppose adding more couldn't hurt. I'm really surprised you have Win7 running with only 500megs when using a browser and silverlight, mine wants ~700M with nothing running.

We watched a film last night on it. Not perfect, but very watchable. Probably not so good with fast moving action, though. We first tried to watch an Amazon streaming movie, which uses Flash, and that was a loving disaster. It refused to run full screen. Very annoying. All other Flash stuff runs just fine, so I have no idea why it was being such a jerk. New question! Is there a linux program for properly accessing/using videos taking with a digital camera? I have a Panasonic GF1, and videos are found buried on the SD card at private/avchd/bdmv/stream/*.mts , and there are playlist and clipinf and other files as well. I just copy the mts files, but am I losing meta info doing this? Is there some better way to do it?

dolicf posted:Not trying to be a dick here, but why are you shying away from VMWare? Because a friend doesn't like it? VMWare is pretty widely supported. 1)Namely due to license/budget. Free versions of VMWare lock you to set amount of cores, etc so forth and so on. 2)It was some weird configuration my deceased boss put together. She got the one RAID controller that dell provides no linux support for. 3)I might go for a strait RHEL license for these, but the main point is that $8000 for 5 years supposedly only provides you a single core, and that limited amount of ram/hd space. 1 server is a MSSQL with a soon to be growing even more rapidly ~50gb database, that gets hammered with queries all day. A VM from the university to handle that would end up running ~14-16k over 5 years, and this is where basically "no support" other than "here's a server merry fuckin christmas". At that cost point you don't even get rollover/failover in the event their physical server crashes and burns. Not great for mission critical. Going to the plan that provides rollover/etc it pushes the cost for the single cored 4gb/50gb vm over 5 years into the $20k range. That still comes with only the rollover, they don't provide backup or anything else at that range other than the server rolling over. Just seems at the current cost, and my assumptions, it may be better to just roll my own. . . Since I'm going to be having to do everything on it anyways, and handling backup, configs, blah blah blah, keep it in house do just a little extra work with 24x7 2hr support from dell for hardware fuckups.
