I couldn’t find a review for this screen so I figured I’d post one now that I’ve purchased it. I purchased this on ebay for ~$500, it is also available from newegg. Pros: Great picture and resolution No bad pixels Stand can angle up or down Even though it ships from Korea, I bought from […]
When having MATE and Unity both installed, a conflict can occur with the notifications daemon. The MATE daemon will prevent the unity daemon from starting. The main indicator of this problem (when logged into Unity): pgrep notify-osd returns no process ID volume OSD (on screen display) doesn’t work add-ons like notifyosdconf do nothing OSD theme […]
Without getting into why your seeing this error, here it is: cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libvmwarebase.so.0’: No such file or directory Quick fix: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so.0

Check box for “Application Menu” Go […]

Since I use AWS at work, I wanted to try something else for my personal workstation (this is basically a tmux jumpbox for me). Security: winner: neither? The nice thing about both of these services is that they are very simple to use. Compared to EC2, they are lacking many features, the biggest surprise for […]
This gotcha always gets me and when I google it I get nowhere. Backup all databases: BACKUP_FILE=`/mnt/backups/all_databases_`date -I`-`echo $RANDOM % 1000 | bc`.sql` mysqldump -u root -h 127.0.0.1 –all-database > $BACKUP_FILE Restore a specific database: RESTORE_FILE=`ls -tr /mnt/backups/*.sql | tail -n 1` mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 drop database db_name; create database db_name; exit mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 db_name < $RESTORE_FILE note: when […]
Amazon says that drive encryption in Opsworks is on the roadmap. In the meantime they suggest creating a drive in EC2, adding it to resources, then mapping it to an instance. For my automation, I much prefer to have an AMI with an encrypted volume attached: 1. created instance in opsworks, no application recipes 2. […]
I finally came up with the way I always wanted this to work. Here is my workflow: 1. I run a command in a tmux pane to copy the entire buffer history of that pane. 2. Sublime Text pops open with the text from that buffer, I can edit the text and copy whatever I need to […]
Kibana4 has some great new features but doesn’t include a startup script. Here is my contribution, a simple startup script, tested on debian 7. https://github.com/akabdog/scripts/blob/master/kibana4_init
Without a license, xenCenter will tell you what updates are needed and point you to the webpages to download them. If you download them all manually to a folder, you can use the below script to deploy them. It works on linux only (not osx). Some of the updates may fail if you don’t put […]
Because most of the sites discussing this are filled with broken links or mis-information, I decided to add my procedure here. You can download all the files in one zip from here: http://the408.com/downloads/infiniteDisorder_NDS.zip 1. Grab a micro SD card and format it FAT. 2. Extract the file G6&M3DS-R_M74.zip, it will be a folder called SYSTEM. […]
This is pretty easy once you know the right steps: Download “instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip” and “instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip” From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html Extract both files to C:\Oracle (choose merge when prompted) Run C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\odbc_install.exe Create window environmental variable ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\ Create C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora Open control-panel -> administrator tools -> Data Sources -> System DSN -> Add -> Oracle Now install vCenter, when prompted choose […]
These steps will allow you to send a message to a user. Only that user will be able to decrypt it. First acquire the users public key and create a text file with it. vi userName.pub gpg –import userName.pub gpg –list-keys Now create a text file with your message and encrypt it vi lab_creds.txt gpg […]
This is surprisingly easy. Throw your video into handbrake. I usually select ipod template, the video will end up 320 x 176. Once that is done, covert the video using ffmpeg2theora videoName.m4v videoName.ogg Check the video size by getting info in finder. Now you are ready to upload the videos and embed it using: <div […]
By default AIX installs on several very small partitions, they fill up fast. The good news is, they are easy to extend and no reboot or install media is required. Just use this to see what you have available: # lspv hdisk0 # lspv hdisk1 Find out which partitions are full using: # df -k […]
