VMWare + no sysv scripts

2005-11-28T22:04:00.000+01:00

Well wanted VMWare, but it complained about that it couldn't find /etc/init.d, rc0.d etc., because Arch Linux is more slackware/bsd like and doesn't have sysv scripts, so I had to come up with some fix, because vmware is really nice to have..

$ cd /etc
$ mkdir init.d
$ cd init.d
$ for i in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}; do mkdir rc$i.d; done

Should be it :D Hope others can find it usefull.

It has been a while since I've written here. To be honest, I had almost forgot that I own a domain.
I also have been busy with some stuff, but let me write what's new..

- I've switched completely from Ubuntu to Archlinux (I did for two days ago)
- My D-Link router is completely fucked, more than it was before - I cannot open ports at all, and now DMZ doesn't work either (what else can happen?! darn peace of junk)

Well, can't remember what else is new so for now, that'll be it.

Router Firmware-upgrade

2005-09-20T21:09:00.000+02:00

I've had some REALLY annoying problems with my router lately.
Well,
1. It was disabling static dhcp by it self.
2. Problems with ports - had to disable the port and open it again to get it working.
3. Was randomly disconnecting clients on it.
4. The list of computers connected was empty.
It's a D-Link DI-514 (can't recommend buying it).
I decided to try the firmware upgrade, and so far it seems to work fine, and the dhcp problems should be solved. Don't know about the ports yet, and the disconnecting.
I really hope it'll work.

Gnome-terminal

2005-09-08T16:00:00.000+02:00

Well I had some problems with gnome-terminal under Arch Linux 0.7 today, and I got this error message:

gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol: sn_launchee_context_get_id_has_timestamp

I thought it was pretty weird.
So I googled around and found a solution - yes google is the ultimate solution to all problems (almost).
But the solution was that I was missing a package called startup-notification so...

pacman -S startup-notification

And that's it..

Switched..

Once again, I've switched blogger engine. This time I choose blogger.com, because of the nice templates, and the great blogger system, which makes easy to post.
And yes, I admit it, I'm too lazy to make one my self - also I don't have the time and creativity to make it. Well I hope I'll make one soon, since I prefer to make things by my self.
