[SLUG] Bluetooth, Multisync and Sony-Ericsson T610

After struggling for days trying to get my Toshiba Portege 7020CT running Debian Sid to recognise the Epox BT-DG02 USB Bluetooth dongle, I finally realised that the 'shiny' plastic case was preventing it seating properly in the recessed USB port and some quick surgery with a knife resulted in insta

[SLUG] PHPBB

Hi all Has anyone had recent experience with installing PHPBB (www.phpbb.net) and Oracle? Oracle support is not officially included in phpbb2.0.6 but it would seem from some of the forums, that people have had success using it with oracle anyway. Anyone here had first hand experience? TIA Fil

[SLUG] mini-howto mounting win2k3 server shares on debian woody

Hi, just had a bit of struggle with some success I wanted to share with everyone. Google wasn't much help for the exact answer, but I managed to piece it all together. A client just upgraded to windows 2003 small business server, so rather than turning off SignOrSeal, I wanted to get CIFS mounted

[SLUG] Debian; should I use "stable or testing" on a Vserver at my Hosting Provider?

Hi all I want to get some advice here from Debian folks running Debian testing on Intel architecture on servers. I am responsible for a site running a database for the Aust Speleological Federation (http://www.caves.org.au). It runs a MySQL database with mod_perl on a RedHat system at a hostin

[SLUG] Setting WINS server on ppp connect

Quick scenario: Linux laptop connecting via a wireless connection to a Linux server, then running pptp to get access to the local network, and from there the rest of the world. The server is supplying DNS and WINS server information, with the ms-dns and ms-wins options for pppd. I'm connecting wi

Being faced with a similar prospect myself soon I'll be looking into manually partitioning and electing to skip the partitioning during the restore. One thing that's bitten me so far is the kernel written to the CDR is for the CPU of the machine you backed up. EG I backed up a PIII system and ca
