Hi,

you should check the /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf files of the DNS clients. Best would be that /etc/hosts only contains entries for localhost, /etc/resolv.conf should be same everywhere or better should be written by dhcp client. But check if there are search pathes added.

Hi,

why don't you use autofs to mount your folders. It will automatically tries to remount the folders of the connection is dropped.

Hi,

maybe the port is blocked that is used for rdesktop. I think it's 3389. Might also be that the firewall is blocking RDP...

Hey,

had a similar problem with an AMD based server and an CentOS where the clock had to resync very often. For me it fixed the problem by appending "disable_timer_pin_1" to the kernel in grub.

Hi,

normally it shouldn't matter, but it might depend on your iptable configuration and if it binds to IP addresses. For automatic failover you could use ucarp or corosync/pacemaker whereas ucarp should be sufficient for your needs. I haven't configured ucarp yet, but a friend told me about it and ...

Hi,

trunking / bonding normally only uses the aggregated bandwidth when the bond get's more connections. So with xmit_hash_policy layer2, a connection between the peers is setup through one interface, due to the MAC base selection of the path.
I think xmit_hash_policy layer3+4 will try to ...

Hi,

any reasons for not using a Networkmanager? wicd e.g. also has a tui interface for non-X.

Hi there,

concerning the subnet...the subnet decleration should be rather

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.254;
}

than

subnet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.254;
}
You should check the option "deny booting;" and if ...

Hej,

you should update to the latest GCC compiler to include BMI and TBM ( -mbmi / -mtbm ). At the office we played a bit with the -mbmi GCC option with a GCC 4.6.2 and had a real performance boost with benchmarks and this flag. Not sure if the -mtbm also boosts performance, need more time for ...

Hi,

seems as if you need to update more packages. I think best would be to run revdep-rebuild.
Looks like one of the packages is ffmpeg that needs to be updated....

Hi,

normally you can find the username and password for IPMI in the manual of the server manufacturer. At Supermicro servers the default login normally is ADMIN/ADMIN.
You should be able to access the IPMI BMC also locally, without login, when you are logged in to the server. You need to load the ...

Hi,

do you have the "cgi" useflag enabled? This should do the trick and install the cgi-scripts in /usr/share/nut/cgi.

Hi Sedrik,

do not use fdisk for partitionig disks that are bigger than 2TB. The reason is that you need to write a GPT label on your /dev/md0 as the normal msdos layout can only handle 2TB disks. You will also have to partition your /dev/md0 with parted.
If you write a new disk-label ( GPT ) all ...

Hey,

why creating users on the second server. You could use LDAP or NIS instead to distribute the users to other servers. Best would be to mount the /home directory via NFS on the second server, so the user homes are available.
If it's just a backup of /home and the users do not login on the ...

Hi DeathCount,

this is because of the so called "arp flux". If you have several NICs in one subnet, the first NIC will answer on the MAC layer address for all addresses on the subnet. So all arp tables of switches and other servers will have only one MAC address for, in your case three IP addresses ...

Hi,

alright there seems to have been problems with the nvidia cards and those drivers. But the article is not only about issues of nvidia but also about Intel graphic chips and ATI, where the ATI sections do have a lot of "todo" still...
Nevertheless, the driver version this article is about are ...

Hi fklama,

I would go for the Nvidia card if you want to do GPU programming stuff. The CUDA toolkit and framework are good documented and I think Nvidia is doing a better job in GPU programming than ATI does.
With CUDA you have all the APIs and compilers for the GPU related programming stuff ...

Hi,

don't buy a laptop with a ATI graphics card. The driver support for linux is really bad with ATI. The Nvidia drivers for linux are well programmed and do their job and just work out of the box. Unfortunately it's not a open source driver, but if you plan to use your laptop instead of ...

looks like the emerge is missing libGL.so --> /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

Hi,

looks like the PolicyKit is denying the access to the media. You can have a look at the policykit manpages, but I think it's easier to set the correct permissions with a GUI like policykit-gnome. There you will have:
