Solaris 11 Gnome Login Borkage: And how to fix!
I recently installed Solaris 11 Express at work. This past Friday, I was suddenly unable to log in to the desktop after a crash/reboot. I did a lot of digging but eventually I found the right clue in \~/.xsession-errors:
.bashrc: no such file or directory
Turns out a change …

I thought it would be relatively trivial to do an upgrade from Elastix 1.5.2-2 to 1.6.2-27. Initially it seemed this way. I ran:
# yum update yum # yum update
When this completed, I logged back in to the system and saw that it was up to 1 …

I was busy yesterday overhauling some things here on the site. First and foremost, I've created a semi-formal Rules (located here) to address in advance potential issues with hosted services here on my server. I've already used these provisions once on my ArmA server which was my primary motivation for …

Mobile Enabled

OpenBSD: The Hard Way To Do Things
OpenBSD has proven to be quite a challenge. Let's start at the install. Unlike FreeBSD, OpenBSD doesn't have a USB stick install image. This meant, ultimately, that I needed to obtain a USB DVD drive to be able to install the OS. Additionally, I've encountered numerous roadblocks to installing Eclipse …

Here goes nothing. I'm going to go ahead and try to port the Android SDK tools to OpenBSD. Hope it's not as bad as I anticipate. I've already installed OpenBSD on my Acer again. The page for that will come soon. OpenBSD has some rough edges on this box. They …
read moreRegrouping from defeat: Android SDK next steps
I've given up on using the Freebroid port of the Android SDK. I don't know enough about git in order to ensure that I can make the necessary changes in my local git tree and be able to merge in updates from the master Android repo on kernel.org. Once …
read moreStruggling with the Android SDK on FreeBSD
I started out by trying the "BSDroid" port of the SDK. After some toil, I was able to get projects to build, but wasn't able to get the debugger/emulator to work. I even tried using truss/ktrace to debug the debugger/emulator but was never able to isolate the …
