solosoft's post is correct, just run "dpkg-reconfigure gdm". Of course, if you uninstall gdm in favor of your new found love for kdm, you'll want to use "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" since gdm won't exist anymore. And just the opposite is true - if you veto the install of kdm, run "dpkg-reconfigure gdm" to get gdm back. On a side note, I'm pretty sure debian/ubuntu is smart enough to detect the deinstallation of these packages and ask you to choose which one of the remaining you want.
They aren't mutually exclusive though - both can exist at the same time. I'd recommend keeping both because that day you can't get into the gui because kdm is crashing and you can't get on the internet because you need the gui (laughs:) - that'll be the day!), you can swap with dpkg-reconfigure or switch to a terminal (ctl-alt-f1,2,3,4) and/etc/init.d/kdm stop and/etc/init.d/gdm start.
Nope, do kdm. When you do an apt-get install kdm you'll get the lovely debian screen asking you if you want to use your old gdm or new kdm as the graphical logon program. Easy and sleezy!
p.s. It won't want to install the whole KDE megillah, but it will want to do the libs and essentials, go ahead and let it do them. You'll already have them if you run konsole though, which is currently the only good terminal;)
Is anyone else bothered that Cisco figures heap corruption is common enough
I'm bothered. In fact, this reminds me of how DJB's software almost always users the supervise daemon to ensure your process is running. It keeps track of all of djb's software, and you can run it with most other daemons.
What happened to writing good software? Why should you have a daemon check for corruption? Why should you have a daemon that checks to see if other daemons die? Wait! Wasn't the author of the daemon-that-might-die software also the same author of the daemon-that-checks-if-it-dies software? That sounds pretty funky.
Does cisco's corruption checking software check its own heap?
Write good software the first time, and you won't have to kludge the kludges.
Excluding your Kansas experience, I think you guys are arguing the same point:)
With water in the air, it seems to conduct heat (away from a person) better. We can all agree on that.
Carlos is saying that when it's hot, moisterized feels cooler, presumably because the air is absorbing more heat from you. shmlco is saying that when it's cold, moisterized feels cooler, presumably because the air is absorbing more heat from you.
I'm not sure about your kansas experience, there's a lot of spooky stuff that goes on there (:)). I can, however, say that I agree with shmlco, having lived in South Dakota most of my life, Colorado (Which, for the most part, has Arizona-like humidity) for a few years, and spending Autumns in Northern Canada.
I'm actually suprised this guy used telnet. I find netcat (man nc) as a much better alternative. I can script it, I can do udp, and I can do port "testing".
I'm not planning on using xen for this, but think of the advantages on say, 12 identical mail servers. All I have to do is patch the kernel once and reboot the servers individually (since they're load balanced). What's more - I can have a virtual server with the newest postfix snapshot that's otherwise identical to the debian on my servers. I can test it to my hearts content and decide whether I want to go production with it or not. All without much hassle at all - it's not like I have to build another machine/provision another switch port/rack another 1u/etc.
And, not only that, but I could have like 3 instances on 4 different machines. I could easily move any of the three instances around on the machine, and move any of the three to to any of the other 4 machines! Now imagine scripting this so - say - you could be in the bar at 1:00AM and not have to worry about "that call".
Now, picture using this for say, oracle, apache, etc. It keeps sessions! Right now, if one of my foundry load balanced apache servers fails, the sticky ssl sessions are going to lose their session - but not with virtual servers - it can move them to another physical server with very little latency.
Oh? You must be talking about the engineers that decided to use everyone elses chips. The engineers that designed the cube. You know, the one with the plastic moudling. And the "power off if it gets too warm sensor". And the ones who sold the cube as "fanless", yet put an ATI card in there with a fan on it. The engineers who put the wireless antenna behind all the titanium/aluminum. The engineers who made the latches on the TiBook? The engineers who made the fauly power buttons on 20% of the newly shipped Imacs? The engineers that designed the nano screen?
Oh? Are we talking just software? Take a look at osvdb. You'll see just as many silly mistakes by apple software engineers. Software suceptible to symlink attacks? Hello? Aren't we out of 1992? How about the newest Mail.App decrypts autoreplies and replies in plain text? Umm...do their engineers test things?
Just a few weeks ago, I had to write a proposal for management types. Network diagrams and the like. Though I've used DIA, I knew it wouldn't be up for the challenge. After some sweating over having to wine visio, I did some serious googling and came up with:
All I have to say is: Holy Crap. I almost knew everything about this from my visio experience (Not a lot, but I could get aroind). A lot of the symbols were the same, and it did had all the little nice things visio had. If you have ubuntu or another distro with a good package manager, I'd heartily recommend trying this program.
Like you haven't heard this a thousand times before - do you have backups:)? Assuming it's a corrupt parition table: If you've got a mirror, you would be able to dd out the (known location of the) partion table on mirrored disk 1, and dd it back to the failed drive.
If none of those work/are not applicable, follow this:
p.s. When you're mounting it, you're doing "mount -t ext2/dev/hdaX/mnt/foo", right? Make sure you have the "X" (1,2,3, etc) variable in there. Sometimes even I forget to add the 1,2,3 and spend a few minutes thinking my data is lost!
p.p.s I used your Xbox howtos back in the day and appreciated them!
AFAIK, it only affects your ability to work with JDBC, so it's not like it should be enabled by default in the first place. The way I see it is:
If you know how to use JDBC, you're aware of how painfully slow anything java related is, and you're aware of how many hoops you'll have to jump through to get anything java working, so you should be prepared to go make some changes in open office so it starts jdbc at startup time.
If you are a newb to OO, or even experienced, yet have nothing to do with JDBC, why the heck should you have to waste 30 seconds of your life everytime you open up OO? It's such a dramatic difference, it's actually *bad* for OO to take that long to startup. You'd think they'd notice.
You must be comparing this to how people complained about kde being slow and bloated and the kde people devels turned it around so it ran faster and took less memory. Oh wait...that hasn't happened yet.
Heh. Well, if the size of the documentation had anything to do with the quality, well, things would be a lot better. Just wait until you find all the undocumented things they're so famous for. If you're just beginning, you'll see what I mean.
Umm, I keep my P.O.S. nokia phone (9100 something) in my pocket with my keys, change, lint, screws and a jackknife. It has one barely visible scratch. If I had drank enough koolaid to buy an apple product, I would assume it would be no different than my cheap cell phone.
Sure sound like a fanboy to me. All criticisms aside, I have 3 years of experience as an Apple tech, this is one of many examples of shoddy workman ship. More than I ever saw from Dell, HP and IBM. Less than I saw from Compaq. Besides, if apple can sue the pants off the citizens and use the brute force of their lawyers to silence their customers, I say fuck 'em. We didn't need them anyway: We have linux. Torvalds hasn't sued me yet.
At that point, it becomes a social problem and it probably doesn't have a technical solution. Not only that, but this is where a capitalist market would exceed. I'd choose the ISP that didn't block X, and there would probably be a market for it.
It was a service, and it has a market. It will be thought up, and it will be sold. For every 1 person that wouldn't do it, there's a 1000 people who would. As you and I know by now, we cannot expect people to take the responsible path, only the money path. I haven't read the comments, so this may be redundant, but I think skype should just start encrypting their traffic with ssl or some other fast encryption methods. Of course, this requires bit more bandwidth, and ups the requirements for the client's hardware, but they either have to adapt or they will fail.
Pardon me, I should have said "isn't too hard to install". It's not easy, but it's no SASL either. I mean, Oracle has sucky documentation, SASL has misleading (at best) documentation:) In short, I'm with ya.
It looks for your $ORACLE_HOME and will build php using that. If you don't have the oracle client installed, it will fail compilation. The oracle client isn't hard to install on gentoo though, not any harder than any other linux, anyway.

Acutally, it's written in C++. Also, it runs java on startup unless you disable it in options. Disabling helps quite a bit for startup time.
