For almost 2 years, I've been plagued by a mysterious problem on 10.04 where cron was only running the first few scripts in cron.daily and then aborting, without logging any cron related errors. I...

What if you try "657911351231.0 / 32.0"?

Though the documentation says integer division in php should give floating point results whenever the result is not a whole number, so 5.3.2 is giving the...

Testing it, I was able to leave the guest and host IP fields blank, entering only the port number (22 in both for ssh). Then I was able to connect to it through localhost with putty and winscp.

I usually use WinSCP for uploading from Windows to Linux servers, being secure, easy, and requiring no setup (apart from installing openssh-server), and putty for other remote administration over...

What does it say exactly?

Seems like you're hitting a vobcopy limit, not a Linux/filesystem limit. Did you try the "-l" option with vobcopy?

In the future, maybe you can have a script that runs the program with the screen command, and have them use that instead of running it directly. Then you can probably use screen -r to steal their...

I guess I didn't stare at the chart long enough. I could have sworn I saw a no for 64 bit next to the 330, but checking it again, it didn't. Sorry about that.

I've done basically that before. Installing from usb to an sd card or usb drive on my desktop, configuring it, then booting it on a server.

One problem I ran into was with dhcp, booting Ubuntu...

Does the raid card have a battery? If not, and the card's own write cache is enabled, that could also lead to corruption in a power outage. Though it's a long shot because it's disabled by default if...

I haven't used hidden files in Samba, but the "map hidden/system/archive" options use the executes bit of the permissions. Directories need to be marked executable to be fully read, so it wouldn't be...

XFS's delayed allocation causes a lot of this. Ext4 does it too. If a program writes to a file, but doesn't call sync() or fsync(), it'll keep the data in memory for a while before writing it to...

Using a network share defeats the entire purpose of using rsync. You really need it running on the Windows server for it to work right.

I have the cwRsync port installed on our Windows servers,...

I've had better luck with setsid than with nohup for some programs.

A second issue is that stdout/err are still attached to your terminal session. When the program tries to print output after the...

I don't use PlayOnLinux anymore (used it a very short time), but it can maintain multiple wineprefixes and wine versions so each program can run on its own customized setup.

The downside I saw was...

I use rsync heavily, and never had corruption. But I've never used the sparse option (-S), and a quick google search for "rsync sparse corruption" returns lots of results, so I'd suggest taking the S...

I don't have much bind or other self-dns hosting experience but:

I think you need a "." after "elementac.com" in you "A" record. That's just how mine looks. The "ubuntuamd64x2" in the CNAME record...

There's http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter which uses openoffice to convert documents. I haven't used it personally.

edit: I missed the "stear clear of openoffice" part....

I've had bad network hardware (both cards and switches, and sometimes only in certain combinations) cause connections to be really slow in one direction.

Edit: I missed the VM part, and the VPN...

I have servers with 2.6.32-27, same as in the linked question, on 10.04 64-bit server, and none of them have those processes, nor does my desktop.

Last I checked, 3.6.18 is still the current version in the 10.04 repositories, unless you added other repositories or PPAs that supplied the new version.

But now Mozilla is prematurely killing off...

I'd open /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and make sure display_errors and display_startup_errors are both enabled (both were disabled by default last I checked, resulting in blank pages whenever there's an...

There's the --backup-dir option to save everything that's deleted to another folder. Though you'd have to move your backup destination to a subfolder of disk2 rather than its root to have both the...

I've run into that a lot. In Firefox, you can go to about:config and add an integer "toolkit.storage.synchronous" with the value 0 which fixes most of the pauses.

As I see it, Ext4 brought with it...

Are you sure the 403 error is coming from your server? Do you use an http proxy on your desktop machine?
