me and my stuff

Today, my company has a new project that need to deal with voip stuff. My boss wants me to going to see what's wrong with email function on the box he's setting up(It can't send email to user when others leave him a voice mail). It use trixbox and he try to fix it for a week. I don't want to interfere his system, It's work fine as a main pbx for our company except that email problem. So I setup a new box to test. After installation finish(very easy just put installation disc into cd drive and wait about 20 mins.), I use browser browse to the Trixbox configuration page. Fews things need to do before go furture. First login to Package manager(need to register) site to install two trixbox modules(webmin and phpmyadmin).Next install&upgrade modules of FreePBX. Now, my freepbx is ready to add a new user and I'll have my own voip network. My new setup box is work perfectly include email function. When I leave someone a voice mail, Trixbox sends him and email sud...

After download and setup finished, system asked me to reboot to Edgy and it came up with out any problem. Anyway I just passed Edgy and moved to Feisty Fawn by use 'Update Manager' from Administration menu. It detected that upgraded rel available. Just pushed upgrade button. To be Feisty Fawn I need about 865 MB to download. That's OK. Upgrade procedure was very smooth. During dowload and setup I needed to answer few questions about what to do with old config of php and apache. I just replaced with new one, coz I could reconfig it later. Like upgrading to edgy, after reboot, now I've got newest version of ubuntu on my box. First thing I feel improve is X response. I think feisty do better than dapper for my display(Dell 1905). With dapper when typing on text box, if move cursor back to the left it will has ghosting effect. It's gone now when I type this post.

Three days ago, Ubuntu 7.04(Feisty Fawn) arrived. I'm still on Dapper, I'm very happy with it but decide to upgrade to Feisty because I want to try firefox2, this post says it does better hardware compat and I can't wait for next lts version that someone said "may be 2009". I'm not sure upgrading from Dapper to Feisty directly is possible or not. But ubuntu site say " You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") from Ubuntu 6.10 ("Edgy Eft") ", so go to Edgy by pnix@pnix-a7:~$ gksu "update-manager -c" It will lunch update-manager with option -c(or equivalently --check-dist-upgrades). This option switch instructs Update Manager to look for upgrades. By default, the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS release will not offer that automatically because of its long support cycle and high stability. Then click the "Check" button. then need to download about 771 M Let's go. Hope that upgrade will be perfect

If you have install windows and linux on the same hard disk and you choose GRUB as boot loader.At boot time you see a menu to choose windows or linux. But one day you reinstall windows, it rewrites your MBR and grub menu has gone, now you only can boot windows. What to do, to bring back grub menu 1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop. 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty. 3. Type "grub" now you need to tell grub where are the grub images files 4. If you know where they are,Type sth like "root (hd0,3)". Remember that for grub (hd0,3) means hda (primary controller master), fourth partition(hda4). But if you don't know,type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use it for the root command parameter. 5. Type "setup (hd0)" to write GRUB to the MBR. 6. Quit grub by typing "quit". 7. Reboot. Note: If you've installed GRUB into the ...

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...
