[OT] Arvoden för programmering, administration etc

2001-10-09 Thread oivvio polite
Det här frågan relaterar inte till listans ämne men jag tror att
publiken här den bästa att fråga.

Jag har under många år arbetat som frilansskribent. Förra året gjorde
jag ett uppehåll i skrivandet och arbetade som programmerare hos
http://www.globalgenomics.com. Nu har jag återgått till skrivandet men tar
enskilda programmeringsuppdrag från min gamla arbetsgivare. 
Jag har också tänkt söka uppdrag från andra. I första hand är jag 
intresserad av pythonprogrammering, men har redan åkt på en del 
linuxadministration.

Var är rimliga arvodesnivåer för programmering och systemadministration?
Finns det någon jobsökarsajt som förmedlar uppdrag snarare än anställningar?

ciao o

Crash postmortem.

2001-10-05 Thread oivvio polite

I've been experiencing some system instability lately.
The system crashes like once a week or something. Ctrl-Alt-Delete has no 
effect. And I can't even ssh in from another host to do a graceful shutdown. 
Of course I'm not asking any of you to analyze my problem with this little 
informatation. Rather I'm asking for tips an general methods for analyzing 
crashes after the fact. Or maybe some prog that monitor all processes and 
warns me when something is starting to go haywire?

Setting up a bunch of boxen at a small school.

2001-09-23 Thread oivvio polite

I might soon have to set up some 20 - 30 boxes supporting some 200 students. 
They'll want to do word processing, browse the web, read mail. 

Of course any user should be able to log into his/her account from any box.
What are my options here? Have all applications run from a powerful server 
and use boxen as X-terminals, run applications on boxen and store only home 
dirs on server...

I'm looking for a setup that's easy to admin remotely and involves zero 
fiddling with the individual boxen.

All ideas are interesting but some ideas (that have actually been implemented 
and proven to work on a day-to-day basis) are more interesting.

Re: MS Windows users secretly dominating debian-user!

Also sprach Nathan E Norman:
 Also, a more fair count would associate senders with user-agents ...
 if I send 100 emails with mutt, and 10 other users send 10 emails each
 with Outlook, which is more popular?  (From a number of users
 standpoint, Outlook should be the answer).  Your script doesn't account
 for this.


How silly of me. Obviously I have been duped by MS agents.

 Yeah, I know it was all for fun :)

For fun? Have you lost mind? Don't you see what THEY are trying to do. 
Obviously you're an MS agent.



New script, counting each sender once. (Couldn't do this in a oneliner. Maybe 
I'm an MS agent.) :

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import mailbox, sys, re, string
 
box = mailbox.UnixMailbox(open(sys.argv[1]))
 
senders = {}
clientscount = {}
clientregexp = re.compile((.+?)[\d,\/,\[,\.,\(].*)
 
 
while 1:
msg = box.next()
if not msg:
break
 
sender = msg.getheader(From)
 
if not senders.has_key(sender):
senders[sender] = 1
client = msg.getheader(X-Mailer) or  msg.getheader(User-Agent) or 
unknown
 
match = clientregexp.match(client)
if match:
client = match.groups()[0]
 
client = string.strip(client)
 
if clientscount.has_key(client):
clientscount[client] =  clientscount[client] + 1
else:
clientscount[client] =  1
 
 
results = [(key, value) for value, key in clientscount.items()]
results.sort()
results.reverse()
 
for result in results:
print result[1], result[0]


Result. Pretty much the same. :

and found it a bit to shaky. What's the status today? Is the Palm Pilot sync 
working yet? Does is handle very large folders (like the one for this list) 
any faster then say kmail or other other agents that use simple mbox files? I 
think that I remember some talk about MySQL integration that was supposed to

Re: i810 sound?

2001-09-07 Thread oivvio polite
I have this soundchip and it has been causing me a lot of woes.
The sound will work for an hour or sometimes an entire day and then it will 
break and I'll get  this kernel error:  i810_audio: drain_dac, dma 
timeout?\n  My guess is that the driver still has a few bugs. But I'm no 
guru (don't even now how to properly report a driver bug) so don't take my 
word for it.


 KDE sound works for awhile then I get kernel overload
 I have to restart it.
 Also esd still doesnt work.. for enlightenment.  Is this a conflict
 between esd and arts???  I prefer enlightenment so would it be better
 to get rid of kde and go with enlightenment and the esd sound will
 work

Re: I've got a corrupt filesys. How do I check integrity of all installed packages?

2001-06-14 Thread oivvio polite

Found the answer over at http://www.debianhelp.org

I did all this as root.

Clean out the package cache. Since I had suffered a filesystem corruption I 
couldn't trust the files in /var/cache/apt/archives to be ok.

 apt-get clean


Find installed packages 

  dpkg --get-selections | grep -v 'deinstall' | grep 'install'|awk '{print $1}' 
 packs
 

Now we have a file 'pack' with the names of all installed packages. This bash 
oneliner will install
them. 

   for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --reinstall --yes $p ;done

Although we gave the --yes option, some packages will still ask you questions, 
so you'll 
have to monitor the process. This will be a bit less boring if you separate 
downloading and
installation. I didn't do this, but I sure will next time. This should do the 
trick:
 
 download

   for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --download-only --reinstall --yes 
$p ;done


 and install

   for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --reinstall --yes $p ;done



This method worked like a charm. The only problem was that I had installed an 
xserver 
that wasn't deb packed. This had the packaging systems dependency calculations 
confused 
and it took some manual fiddling to sort it out.

 Is there an dpkg or apt trick to go through all installed packages,  check

Aquila and Lance,
Thanks a lot to both of you.

It turned out glibc 2.2 was not the problem.
I was installing from iso images I made on an other machine (the machine I'm 
installing on is a subnote book with no cdrom) and mkisofs had decided to 
rename some files.

 There may be other ways to do it, but this works:

 1. copy the cd files to a temporary directory.

 2. in the bin/x86 directory of the cd files, make the following
symbolic link:

  ln -s glibc-2.1 glibc-2.2

 3. Run the installer from the temporary directory.

 The reason it won't install from the cd is that the installer
 asks your machine what glibc it has, and then looks on the cd
 for the appropriate binaries. The symbolic link tricks the
 installer into installing the glibc-2.1 binaries from the
 temporary directory.

I've got a corrupt filesys. How do I check integrity of all installed packages?

2001-06-12 Thread oivvio polite
OK, here's an other:

Last week I played around with hdparm to optimize hd performance.
Not only did manage to speed up the hd considerably, I also managed
to corrupt my file system. I could still boot after fsck. I can still get up 
kmail to write you this. Most stuff still works but some services
want come up. I know for sure that some symlinks disappeared and I suspect 
that some files are gone or corrupt. 

Is there an dpkg or apt trick to go through all installed packages,  check 
their integrity and reinstall any files that need it?

Mail indexing

2001-06-08 Thread oivvio polite
A long time ago when I was using an other OS I also used Altavista Personal 
to index my email. Worked great. I've found a couple of tools (htdig, 
glimpse)  for linux that index files. I haven't researched theese tools that 
deeply because it seams like they both index entire files rather than 
separate email messages within a large mbox file.

Ideas, anyone?

Re: 486 router is very slow

2001-06-07 Thread oivvio polite
I find it very unlikely that the 486 CPU should be a limiting factor.
If your ISDN modem is connected to an old (not UART 16650) serial 
port, that may be a problem.
I had a similar problem when I ran ISDN. It finally turned out that I had

ATDT phone number of ISP

in the call up script. Where it should have been.

ATDI phone number of ISP

This change gave a performance boost from 1.5-2 kb/s to 5-7 kb/s
Fiddling  with MTU sizes and all that other stuff in ppp never made any 
difference.

good luck.

 Hi all

 I set up a router with my old 486 computer. I have there potato witch
 kernel 2.4 installed.

 Normally i have have rates of 7.8 kb/s (ISDN) throughput. But if i try it
 over my new router the rate is not more than 2 kb/s. Is it possible that
 the Masquerading process takes too much recources on that machine? It's a
 33 Mhz Intel DX Processor.

 Any hints to speed that up?

 cheers,
 Raffaele

Checkout the XFree86 Font Deuglification Mini HOWTO

http://feenix.dyndns.org/ldp/fdu/index.html

I haven't set it up myself because my graphics card isn't fully supported yet.

good luck
