Mac OS X create ISO from DVD/CD

March 29th, 2011 vhristev No comments

You have DVD with software and you want to install with Parallels/VMware Fusion/Virtual Box but … you don’t want to use your old scribbled disk and we need to convert it to .iso.

Reinstalling the host management agents and HA agents on ESXi

March 28th, 2011 vhristev No comments

1. Right-click on the ESXi host and click Disconnect. This disconnects the ESXi host from the VirtualCenter Inventory.

2. Log in to ESXi Troubleshooting Mode. For more information, see Tech Support Mode for Emergency Support (1003677).

3. Uninstall the vpxa and aam components from the VMware ESXi host using the following commands:

/opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-vpxa-uninstall.sh

/opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-aam-ha-uninstall.sh

4. Right-click on the ESXi host and click Connect. This initiates a re-install of the vpxa agent.

5. Add the host to the appropriate cluster. This initiates a re-install of the aam agent.

If the agent fails to automatically install when connecting the ESX host in the vCenter Server:

1. Verify that /tmp/vmware-root exists on the ESX host. vCenter stages the vpxa RPM in this folder. To add this directory, execute:

 mkdir -p /tmp/vmware-root

Console torrent client (rtorrent)

March 23rd, 2011 vhristev 1 comment

I really like my rtorrent it is really easy to use it.

Install rtorrent on Mac os x (you need installed ports to use this feature)

[21:05]vhristev@g1r5:~$port search rtorrent
rtorrent @0.8.4 (net)
    console-based BitTorrent client
 
rtorrent-devel @0.8.5 (net)
    console-based BitTorrent client (development version)
 
Found 2 ports.
[21:05]vhristev@g1r5:~$sudo port install rtorrent
---&gt;  Computing dependencies for rtorrent
---&gt;  Cleaning rtorrent
[21:05]vhristev@g1r5:~$

How to start downloading torrent file.

My first advice is USE “screen” like me .I am in the office and want to start downloading something.
1.I run screen then i run my rtorrent and voala perfect console torrent client and i don’t have to worry about my connection between office and home (:
2. rtorrent TORRENT_FILE

Im lazy and download this pictures from internet (:

Basic keyboard shortcuts:

    ^q — closes rTorrent, done twice makes the program shutdown.
    Up, down arrows — highlight the downloads.
    Left arrow — returns to the previous screen.
    Right arrow — goes to the next screen.
    a|s|d — increase global upload speed about 1|5|50 KB/s
    A|S|D — increase global download speed about 1|5|50 KB/s
    z|x|c — decrease global upload speed about 1|5|50 KB/s
    Z|X|C — decrease global download speed about 1|5|50 KB/s
    ^S — starts download
    ^D — pauses and resumes the active download
    +|- — changes the download priority of selected torrent.
    Backspace — adds the specified .torrent. After pressing this button write full path or URL of .torrent file. You can use Tab and other tricks from bash.

Проблем при инсталация на memcache pooling tool за Cacti

March 17th, 2011 Благомир Иванов No comments

Опитах се да кача memcache tool за Cacti, който да проверява memcache сървърите.
При опит за инсалация, следвайки тези инструкции, се появи грешка:

root@home:/# python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

Решението е лесно:

root@home:/# apt-get install python-setuptools

Google Analytics код в vBulletin 4

March 12th, 2011 Благомир Иванов No comments

При опит да поставим Google Analytics tracking pixel чрез редакция на template в админа се получава следната грешка:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /var/www/vhosts/path/to/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(4667) : eval()'d code on line 133

За да избегнем това, заграждаме GA кода следният таг < vb:literal >

<vb:literal>
<script type="text/javascript">
 
  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-ХХХХХХХХ-У']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
 
  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();
