Hello everyone:
I just wanted to post a quick update to my status as of late, as I have not been around for an extended time period.
I have been dealing with family issues, because my Grampa Baker Died on October 14th - We had a nice service, where we all gathered and then had the Graveside service at the cemetary, and then we gathered for a time at the Local American Legion Post, where we all spent time remembering my grampa, and I was able to see alot of good friends and family members, and see many people who knew him pay final respects.
Then, I had my new HD TV go on the fritz, and I sent it to NH, and then it went to New Jersey, and then came back 2 weeeks later, only to suffer another problem, with what I believe to be the picture tube. I have a technician that will come and fix the TV free of charcge, since I got it in May of 2009, and it is still under warrenty. Lucky for me - If this TV (Dynex 26') dies again, I will get a replacement TV - must be a fluke....I don't know.......
Then the ULTIMATE PROBLEM - Oddessy, which has been in service for 6 years, being used by my mom before me, died unexpectedly on October 22 - The machine was working fine on October 21, and the next morning, Oddessy was stuck in an endless reboot loop. After talking to 2 techs that I trust, I took Oddessy offline, and brought it to the D&K Enterprises Office, where my brothers stepdad did some work on the machine. I thought the Hard Drive Died, but Dan pulled her all apart all the way down to the motherboard and we found:
1 Two Burned out Capacitors
2. One DVD Drive was not booting, which was being detected by the BIOS, and we were able to determine that the drive was functioning, but that when we looked at the Motherboard, 2 capacitors looked strange, so he pulled them both and replaced them - So we pulled another machine, slaved my main drive, copied the needed fiies to my WD Mybook 320GB Drive, and then installed [Windows 7 Pro/b] on Oddessy, and about noon today, I got the call that she was ready, so I now have Windows 7 on board. This is one of the strangest weeks, and I have been trying to complete work before the holidays, so now I am gonna be working extra hard to get this done.
So, thats all from here - hopefully will be back up full by the weekend - Gee, I go away when all the awesome stuff happens - Congrats to Jeff on the Wyldryde Acquisition!!

Jeff:
I have followed the instructions word for word and have attempted to inatall on the root of the server by editing wp-config.sample.php and I changed the name as directed, then uploaded all the files to a directory called /blog - Then I go to the server via VNC and type in http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/install.php and she says:
"The URL /blog/wp-admin/install.php was not found on the server" - Does NOT matter where I put the thing, it just wont install - I think I need an assist from BT community linux experts cause the apache2 directives and such may be messed up - If anyone wants to take a shot, let me know by PM
Thanks,
Brian

Hello Team:
Is there a way to download the last stable release of Apache 1.3.41 as a *.deb package without having to go get every flippin dependency in the world myself? I have tried to do this, but I'm constantly getting errors or problems with dependancies and unfortunately, there is NO way to use apt-get to FORCE Apache 1.341 to install with all the stuff it needs - For this install, I believe it would be easier to install Apache1 and then install the program I need.
I am trying to install Freeside1.7.3 Using this weblink and it appears that the instructions
HERE dont use apache2 so I can't really install apache2 because the information is [NOT SPECIFIC to apache2,
The wiki says to do certain things, and I have tried them but I cant get all deoendancies and modules - could someone please help me either install a *.deb package, or help me compile apache 1 for lenny - the docs suck for this
Any help would be greatly appreciated

/dev/sdb1 is mounted on /users - I remember you said something about having the wrong fstype, so I used online instructions to make this work and chose to mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 - and after the fsck, it works well
Thank god that we can manually do this from the command line - sometimes its easier to do it this way, but webmin is a lifesaver
Thanks for the second look and the assist!!!

who is mark sanford?
marty
Marty:
Mark Sanford is the Governor of the state of South Carolina, who "disappeared" for about a week a few weeks or so back, and did NOT tell anyone in his office, or any of his staff, and flew to Argentina to see his mistriss - He had apparently had an an affair with this woman for a while, and I guess was dealing with infidelity.......
Long story short, he said he never flew there on taxpayer money, but it appears that he did - When he came back home, he was apologizing to his constituants, and the people of the State of South Carolina, and shortly after, people were calling for his resignation, whicn he says he will not do.

Good Luck and congratulations on making it through your first 2 years - Enjoy yourself and take it slow and easy, because that is the way that you can be sure that you are doing what it is you want in life - I agree with everyone posting, that you should be able to set some money aside in case the roommate situation doesn't work out - My friend always says that you shouild always have a "backdoor" and he is right
Take Care Hondaboy, and Good Luck!!

Hello Team:
I need help with a drive problem - I try to format /dev/sdb as Linux native, and it looks good, but when I mount it, it says that its either the wrong fs type, or it may already mounted - I want to use this drive as additional space for other operations - can somone help me if I get a screenshot of webmin doing this??
It shows up in webmin as /dev/sdb1 when formatted, but I can't sucessfully mount this 33 gig drive
It always says:
"Failed to save mount : Mount failed :
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /work busy"
(/work being the directory I want to mount the drive on, but it seems that its already mounted: Where??)
Any help would be appreciated!!

Hello Everyone
This week, I was informed that my debian 4.0 (Etch) loaded server had suffered a failure because the RAID card inside had a dead battery, which caused the RAID Array to forget about the drives that were connected to it, so Dan replaced the RAID card in my server with one from one of the several his, and when I arrived, he had already had started the process of rebuilding the array - after several attempts to rebuild it, I just relented and reinstalled Debian.
This tme, I am using Debian 5.0 (Lenny Stable) and have installed it with as much of the older stuff that I can, and I have also installed webmin 1.480 for admin tasks as I find it easier to do some of the tasks using it. Dan and I configured it so that I can VNC into the machine at this time, and I can run web services on port 80, and as I continue, I will be able to shell into her when the proper ports are forwarded.
So, at least I know what caused the problem - Now I Just want to make sure I have everything installed and working correctly in Lenny - I will keep everyone advised as I continue on

Hello Team!
Well, I have taken my chair to Burlington, VT for the first time! On July 7, 2009, I took the LINK Express to Burlington to spend a couple days with my friends. I must say that not only was I impressed with the way the chair handles, but also impressed with the way I can control the chair!! I went DOWN an incline that was steep but gradual, and all the way down, I had my hands on the wheels for control - I was able to control the chair on the decent, and then was able to push the chair UP an incline with ease.
I was SO HAPPY to be in Burlington!! what a difference - and the sidewalks and streets are so much better - went from Pearl/Cherry Streets to College Street in a matter of minutes using the bike path route, then turned right, and up the street - crossed twice. and back around to Cherry Street Bus Terminal - WOW!! Extremely easy!!
I was with my friend Bill, and during this ride, I had him close by, in case of problems, but he was just there in case I made a judgement error, as some of the sidewalks and cutouts are similar in color to my eyes. I was able to also go to the mall last Tuesday, and run for a 3-4 hour period in "outdoor mode" - This mode allows me to push once and get 2 to 2 1/2 revolutions per manual push - I have to shift modes sometimes to save battery power, but all in all, was happy with the chair's performance - what a difference!!
Burlington was my "vacation" and I enjoyed myself: was able to spend time with my aunt on Wednesday, going to breakfast, and then seeing her new condo, and taking a ride with her for a couple hours before returning to Burlington. I then boarded a Bus to the Mall, and hung out with a buddy of mine for a few hours, and then we came home to Cherry Street, and I pushed back home with no assistance - My arms would have been tired if I had not used the power!!
When I go to Burlington or anywhere where I may have need to use my crutches, I attach them to the chairs crutch holder - I love that, becaus once strapped on, they do NOT come off - The only thing that happened this time that was strange was that the chair wheelied on me when fully loaded with crutches and backpack on board, so I had to throw the duffle bag in the seat so that the chair was not resting on her tipups - was surprised how far back she can wheelie
All in all, she did well, and I am happier, because I can do more pushing myself

VNC Problem: can only see desktop as root; otherwise grey :(
in Linux & Unix
Posted
Good evening!
I just figured out how to start a gnome desktop as root when logging in via VNC, but I had to do a "gnome-session" command at the # prompt. Is there a way to get rid of all the other junk that is in xstartup file so that I can always start gnome, and get rid of this grey screen? I'll need some help here, because I dont wanna run root wide open like this.
any help you can give me on thgis would be appreciated......
Thanks,
Brian
