This is the error message that appeared when I tried to update my installation.

I’ll research another day why I can’t update it.

Ian Murdock and the volunters from OpenSolaris.org released the new distro-like distribution of Solaris. It’s called OpenSolaris.

I’m downloading the OpenSolaris Live CD right now to replace the Fedora Linux partition that I have.

Right clicked the VM to delete and it removed from the Inventory but showed the following message:

Failed to delete VM
Reason: Failed to unregister the VM after it was deleted.

Another VMware error where Google showed nothing.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

[root@memcached ~]# rpm -ivh –force VMwareTools-1.0.5-80187.i386.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]

I cancelled (CTRL+C) in the middle of the installation of the rpm and now I can’t run the installer or reinstall the rpm.

I ran into this problem and found many solutions involving opening the iTunes Music Library.xml file and deleting the song that caused the error message. I simply looked the music library and didn’t find it. So I searched where it was still referencing and found it in one of the playlists. I unchecked the song and synced again without the error message.

The parameter PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH in the /etc/default/security file controls how many past passwords HP-UX will remember the password to prevent the user from using the same old passwords he uses. Set the number as you like.

This time is a tip to enable a user account if your system uses password aging or the user was locked out due to the unsuccessful login attempts.

login: user
Password:
Account is disabled - see Account Administrator

To enable a locked or disabled HP-UX account, run the command:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -l -k <username>

3004-303 There have been too many unsuccessful login attempts; please see the system administrator

If your user can’t login and is receiving this error message, you need to reset his unsuccessful login attemps.

Check his unsuccessful login counter with lsuser

# /usr/sbin/lsuser -a unsuccessful_login_count <username>
username unsuccessful_login_count=4

Then reset the counter with chsec
# /usr/bin/chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a unsuccessful_login_count=0 -s <username>

Here is a dirty and fast way to mount a Windows shared folder:

• Check what the Windows server is providing with smbclient:

# smbclient –L <hostname> -W <domain> -U <user>

# smbclient -L CORESERVER -W WINLLAB -U nimda
Password:
Domain=[WINLAB] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
