For my own reference, and lest it help anyone else:

Well, it DID work, for about a couple of hours.

One of our artists (we provide studios) is having the following problem:
Re. internet, I'm having real problems connecting _any_ linux device to
the router (I've tried 8 different ones!). I think this is a BT hardware problem. I can advise with tech logs if need be.
The Router is a BT Business Hub 2700HGV
Can anyone help?

Been tinkering with Snow Leopard Server a bit lately, and thought I'd see what the web server's up to.
|
I'll be damned if I'm going to search all over t'Internet for this information if I ever need it again in the future, so here's how to use NFS shares in Snow Leopard without all that tedious mucking about with -36 errors.
|
Why would a perfectly standard MacBook Pro act completely normal in every other networky respect, but be unable to connect to any SMTP server?
|
This is doing my head in. Which is normally when I turn to novacaster.

This post on Chris Duran's blog explains how to overburn a CD or DVD on a Mac, given that neither OSX's built in Disk Utility nor Roxio's flagship burning software 'Toast', support it.
Cheers Chris.

If anyone can answer this post on the Thecus user group (or answer it here after reading it there :) then I'll offer them a vastly over-sized pint of beer.

Getting kicked off the internet when trying to watch some video clips.
and video editing suite crashes when capturing video.

Some keywords first, to help me find this back next time I'm Googling...
sendmail submit.mc msp /etc/hosts localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1
Problem: appearance of localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) in Received lines for mail originating on a CentOS 4.6 server.

So you spend vast sums on a Thecus N5200 Pro NAS RAID box with a view to making a resilient backup of all your donkey porn DVD rips and stuff, and partitioning it into a single vast RAID array takes 16 HOURS.
But then you discover that NFS / CIFS / SMB don't allow certain characters in filenames, and whilst investigation alternatives (AFP among them at this stage) you discover iSCSI.

.... is there an unfulfilled need for a very simple OSX menu-bar app that displays at a glance the available space on your hard drive?
|
At random intervals (running the last beta before release of Leopard 10.5) the Macbook pro pipes up and states
"Sanity Badger Cup is now available"
or at least thats waht it sounds like :)
Not sure what app is causing this or what app it really means...anyone?
|
I sincerely hope this will just go away when I upgrade to Leopard some time soon after tomorrow, but it's bugging me anyway because it don't make no sense.

On the new mastermaster site (at mastermaster.org.uk/new3.php currently, but don't expect it to be working all the time as it's a 'live dev' environment) there's a link labelled 'random'.

I first suspected there was a problem with this card when trying to install Centos 4.4 on a twin Opteron 2.4GHz H8DA8 Supermicro box with 4GB RAM, using an LVM / partition on top of a RAID 1 of 2x Maxtor 250GB SATA II disks.
Formatting the / partition seemed to take forever, with significant pauses when writing the inode table. OK, it's a large partition (200+GB) but hangs for tens of seconds and a collapse in responsiveness led me to believe that the installer had crashed.
It is only after a lot of experimenting (including trying Centos 4.4, 4.5, openSUSE 10.2 and lastly RHEL AS 4 Update 5 - yes, I know that's the same as Centos 4.5 but just in case... also different disks - Western Digital Seagate - and booting SMP kernel v nonSMP) that I've come to realise there's a more fundamental problem.

this particular Mac feature?

Ages since I've used regex for more than single character matching ...
|
To transfer over ten gigs of files from one remote linux server to another, I've just tried scp, and I get a stall somewhere in the middle.

Looking for a recommendation
|
Just wanted to enthuse about the RAID-ing of the drives in my Mac Pro.
|
I've just persuaded a colleague to get a Macbook and a copy of Parallels in preference to a PC laptop.
|
Has anyone here used Automator much?

I've discovered what looks like a bug in the Google Analytics access manager.
This is the tool you use when you want to grant someone view-only access to the analytics reports for a website profile for which you're the administrator.

VMWare has announced a pre-release version of their Parallels-like Intel virtualisation package, here.

For those looking for a Mac PVR, this could be interesting.

My ichat/AIM is unstable-it randomly disconnects. There are other weird issues with Skype and itunes. Can someone please offer assistance?

Note to self: if you set up clamav according to the instructions, then /var/lib/clamav ends up with ownership clamav.clamav and permissions mask 700.
That's no bloody use at all if you ever run clamscan as an unprivileged user, because they can't see into the directory to get to the databases files and you end up with a warning:
LibClamAV Warning: **************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: *** The virus database is older than 7 days. ***
LibClamAV Warning: *** Please update it IMMEDIATELY! ***
