RAID Recovery
Hi, I have a server abroad that has a RAID setup - that server has died - I bought another computer but now I want to take disks that I have "prepared" here in Israel on the same computer setup with RAID and ship them. Is it possible to somehow instruct the RAID setup on the new computer (in the US) to use those disks? The computer is a DELL PowerEdge R200 with SAS6iR: http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_r200?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd Details on such a procedure are scarce. -- Noam Rathaus CTO no...@beyondsecurity.com http://www.beyondsecurity.com "Know that you are safe." ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Setting up a PBX for Israel<->US communication
In twinkle, try to use audio codec gsm. It is the most compressed out of all the audio codecs. I also have a ekiga account and want to try it with twinkle. If you have problems of bandwidth, then gsm should help. In most cases 128kbps upload is very problematic.

I know someone who uses BlueHost to host his blog for years (started

satisfied. I'm NOT sure this is an OpenVZ product but it's something
similar ("jailed" environments sharing a kernel).

Fw: Skype Webcam problems - Update to Webcam Problem
Update: I tried to start Skype a second time and the camera would not show correctly with the command below. I don't like the idea of remaining in Root all the time as it can be dangerous. I have also installed the following may be it will help http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...bv4l&srodzaj=3 and qc-usb-qcset - Tool for the old Quickcam Express webcams But I can see that it must have been a fluke that it worked once with the line below. It doesn't now. I think that I have 2 choices get hold of another Mandriva 2008.1 Spring disk or wait to see if Mandriva put this right in the next upgrade. They know that this is a bug and mismatch. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype When I typed the above into System Control Panel - Console with root password the Logitech Quickcam worked OK. However I doubt that without root the camera will work in Skype. Is there away to set Mandriva to do this without having to type this each time? Any Ideas?

You can use "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so strace -e open skype" to see which devices are being accessed every time. Then you can add yourself to the group that contains them. > Is there away to set Mandriva to do this > without having to type this each time? You can set up a script to run skype with this configuration automatically, and set up a desktop shortcut for it in your menus, desktop, panel, etc. If needed, you can have a SUID "script" to run skype, but I strongly recommend against running skype as root, because it's dangerous enough running as an underprivileged user. In any case, you should set the permissions of the devices accordingly. Feel free to contact me at http://www.shlomifish.org/me/contact-me/ and I'll guide you.

I assume this has more to do with the time source than the 1.6 upgrade, but I don't know that. It's possible that a ztdummy driver on openvz provides a good enough time source that makes it work better than Xen+pthread -- if that's the case, lylix.net would be superior. A friend of mine is trying them now, we'll see how that works. As far as vpslink is concerned, I've been unsuccessful in getting a ztdummy to work. It's a Xen setup, but you can only use a very specific centos kernel, no matter what system you are running -- just getting the ztdummy to compile with the required gcc-4.1 for that kernel is a lot of effort. And when the module didn't work, I gave up. OpenVZ consumes less resources. Hence you can use more instances per server. Hence it costs less. VPSLink seem to price them the same. Most others don't from my previous searches. Tzafrir, do you know of any OpenVZ provider that charges something comparable to the $8/month vpslink plan? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

That's exactly what I tried. I don't know how to configure asterisk to have a simple echo test working. Just a few minutes ago I called ekiga.net from Twinkle and for the first time I heard the instructions played by the echo test (I couldn't get even Ekiga itself to do that). But they are VERY chopy.

Skype Webcam problems
No go with the Mandriva 2009.0 regarding the Webcam. I unfortunately don't remember what I did but for one time I actually got a picture in the Preview. I think in the /etc/modprobe.d I added a line "options quickcam compatible=6" as I saw in www.linuxquestions.org I also tried both LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4compat.so Skype LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v42convert.so Skype I have a Quickcam Chat 8.4.8 In Mandriva 2008.1 Spring edition I had a Pixart PAC2007 connected quite successfully. Anybody got any ideas. Funny though Ekiga and Cheese the Camera works OK with a very clear sharp picture no green and flashing screen. I have a feeling that Skype doesn't know where the device is; In the Skype options it has Camera /dev/device0 [r...@localhost ~]# lsusb Bus 008 Device 002: ID 03eb:3301 Atmel Corp. at433301 4-port Hub Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1307:0165 Transcend Information, Inc.

Let's start with something simpler: a call between the phone and Asterisk itself: an echo test, playback, voicemail extension, or whatever. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

OpenVZ consumes less resources. Hence you can use more instances per server. Hence it costs less. VPSLink seem to price them the same. Most others don't from my previous searches. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

You mean in case that the hosting provider provides the necessary kernel modules in OpenVZ? Is there any technical obstacle preventing an interested hosting provider from offering the required modules in Xen guest kernels? As for the cost - as far as I'm aware OpenVZ costs the same as Xen hosting at VPSLink and my personal experience with openvz/virtuozo hosting was that it's a bit limited near the edges. > > Oh, and as I mentioned non-dahdi (non-zaptel) timing for Asterisk, see > the following for more information: > > http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2009-February/036659.html Thanks. But before I can worry about all this - I still have to get audio back to my SIP clients at home, which I don't manage to do.
