Adding ip address on trixbox[without X]

On Ubuntu, to manage ip address of the box in console, we need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. By default ubuntu is set to using dhcp as you will see.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

changing "dhcp" to "static" and add network information
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

will change the box to use static ip address. Adding more ip address on this interface can be done by add script below to the same "interfaces" file.[note that we have :1 after eth0]
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.109
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Trixbox use centos. Like other redhat family, it has system-config-network utility or if you want to play with the configuration file, adding ip address is done by create new file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like in mycase. I have external static ip address define in ifcfg-eth0.
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]# ls ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth0
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]#

Now, I want to add new internal ip to this interface so I create a new file call "ifcfg-eth0:1" by copy from "ifcfg-eth0".
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]# cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]#

then modify "ifcfg-eth0:1" made it look like this.
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0:1
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.1.123
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]#

last restart network service and check the result.
[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]# service network restart

[trixbox1.localdomain network-scripts]# ifconfig

Fixing sendmail take a long time to start

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below. [root@ora10g ~]# newaliases WARNING: local host name (ora10g) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total [root@ora10g ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.55 ora10g [root@ora10g ~]# To fix this, custom hostname[ora10g] need to append to localhost line in /etc/hosts.

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs

Converting dat to mpeg file, to burn vcd on ubuntu

Creating vcd [from dat file] on WinXP, I use "Nero Burning Rom". It can burn dat file to vcd directly. On ubuntu, AFAIK, No burning cd software to burn dat to vcd. I use k3b but it can't burn dat file. It support only mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 format. Dat file need to convert to mpeg first. Thist post will show how I install and use vcdgear to convert dat file to mpeg file. pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz --04:21:14-- http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz => `vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz' Resolving www.vcdgear.com... 66.98.192.104 Connecting to www.vcdgear.com|66.98.192.104|:80... connected.
