MySQL curses management tool?
by John Stoffel June 8, 2005

June 8, 2005

Hi all, A quick googling didn't help, so I'm turning to you all. I'm looking for a mysql management tool which is CLI/curses based and more powerful/easier to use when compared to the mysqlaccess and mysqladmin stuff. Basically, something to help me manage DBs, users and permissions over an SSH connection. I know I could use some of the X tools, but I'd prefer not too if possible. Thanks, John

Seeking Socket 478 heat sink retaining bracket w/screws
by Andy Stewart June 6, 2005

June 6, 2005

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI everybody, If anybody has this little plastic dohickey for holding the heat sink to the motherboard, and would like to get rid of it, I'm can use one of these for a socket 478 CPU. I am willing to buy you pizza/beer or give you bribe money to obtain one. I'll even trade you the last 5 Ubuntu Linux CDs I own if that's what it takes. :-) Since my MB has the screw threads, I don't think the dohickey with the plastic holding things will work for me, but the version with screws will work. Thanks in advance, Andy P.S.

DNS question...
by Keller, Tim May 27, 2005

May 27, 2005

Quick question I can't seem to find a google answer on. I've got a machine that gets it's IP via DHCP. Now on our network, the DNS name is pulled off the machine and auto registered. However this machine won't push its domain name. Any ideas where a) the setting for this might be b) any manual step you can use to update the DNS name? I looked at the nsupdate command, but I'm not sure that's the right command. Talking with the network guy, he recalls there being a graphical tool for Linux that would let you do this. Thanks, Tim.

swappiness
by Chuck R. Anderson May 23, 2005

May 23, 2005

We had a discussion about swappiness at the last meeting. Here's what my system defaults to: >cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) >cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 60 I don't see this being changed in any of the init scripts, so the default is most likely changed in the Fedora kernel from 100 to 60. If you want to tune it, you should be able to just stick this in /etc/sysctl.conf: vm.swappiness = <new value> Here is more information on what this is all about: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000

I want to list files that end in the number 8-16 if they exist for example finding names 5-9 is easy: $ find /dev/vc -name [5-9] /dev/vc/9 /dev/vc/8 /dev/vc/7 /dev/vc/6 /dev/vc/5 I'm having problems though with numbers higher than 10. $ find /dev/vc -name [5-16] /dev/vc/6 I only get 6 back.. Any ideas? -thanks

Partition Question
by Arturo May 12, 2005

May 12, 2005

Hi all, I have a bunch of linux boxes that have the swap partitions that are not of type swap. They are type linux. The OS seems to be swapping just fine on this partition type. Some machines have swap partition that look like this from fdisk /dev/hda6 50810 52890 1048792+ 82 Linux swap Other machines have swap partitions that look like this. /dev/hda6 50810 52890 1048792+ 83 Linux Does anyone have experience with why it would or wouldn't cause issues? Does anyone know what it means to have a partition of type x or y? Is there a difference or is having a partition type mostly there for humans. I would have thought that the partition just defined the limits. Everything else depends on what you do with the partition as far as formatting and defining inodes/FATs and labels... Any ideas?

Yet Another Perl Conference final details
by Gerard Lim May 11, 2005

May 11, 2005

Hi everyone... This email could be of interest to people interested in the Perl programming language. I know that in Toronto there is a good-sized overlap between Linux people and Perl people (we occasionally hold "joint sessions" of our user group meetings) so we hoped to share this information with Linux folks more widely. There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29 June, 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference… Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy. Summary -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/summary.html Day 1 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day1.html Day 2 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day2.html Day 3 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day3.html Lightning Talks --------------- These short (5 minutes each) talks, presented by the conference attendees, are a YAPC tradition. If you're interested please read more about them and sign up: http://www.justanotherperlhacker.org/lightning/ [ This message was sent by Gerard Lim <glim(a)mycybernet.net> on behalf of the YAPC::NA 2005 Conference organizing committee of the Toronto Perl Mongers.

SOHO LAN & Multiuser Desktops

I'm successfully using NIS+NFS for a small SOHO LAN serving 4 desktops, a server and printer, plus associated networking. I'm wondering, though, if there's an easier approach to configuring a "Windows replacement" multi-user setup. I do have printing, file sharing and "roaming profiles" working fine, but it's a bit cumbersome so far. Is anyone working with an approach that might be simpler... particularly one well integrated into an existing desktop distribution? - Bob

gnome-terminal/mutt question & solution
by Bill Mills-Curran May 1, 2005

May 1, 2005

Ok, this is going to read more like a detective novel... :-) I'm using mutt in a gnome-terminal on fedora core 3, and I'm up to date (within a week) with updates. I find that, with the defaults, the terminal does not refresh when it needs to. A ctrl-L repaints the window just fine. I did (just now!) find a fix... Right clicking on the terminal -> Input methods and select "X input method"... Everything works fine, except this setting is not persistent. The setting affects all gnome terminals and new ones opened. However, if I first close all terminals and start a new one, the setting is lost. So, how to make the fix stick? I have no idea, but I did find this info on the subject: http://www.webservertalk.com/archive204-2004-9-379265.html This gives a link to a new terminfo file which you can use to fix the problem, and a nice way to install it without editing the distro-supplied file. Thus far it works fine. Bill

In my heart, I would like to do it all on Linux. All shipped code will be on Windows for the foreseeable future. Since it will all be in Python, most of it will be pretty crossplatform. Please pass this along with that caveat. -- Sean Sean True CTO InBoxer, Inc. send replies to: "Sean True" <seant(a)webreply.com> Personal notes: Sean lead software at Dragon during the period of time that their new continuous speech recognition (CSR) product was developed.

At Dragon Sean was an excellent leader who took care of his people. He understands software development from both the developers and business needs perspectives. Full Disclosure: I have no relationship with Sean's company, financial or otherwise. I'm posting this because I believe it will be a good place to work. (even if it is (currently) windows oriented :). -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.
