Unable to find the answer LIBDIR – VMware Server
Posted by Emerson Takahashi on April 17, 2008
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
root@memcached:~ # rpm -ivh –force VMwareTools-1.0.5-80187.i386.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
Unable to find the answer LIBDIR in the installer database
(/etc/vmware-tools/locations). You may want to re-install VMware
Tools.\n\nExecution aborted.error: %pre(VMwareTools-6533-80187.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping VMwareTools-6533-80187
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.

“Song” was not copied to the iPod “iPod’s name” because it could not be found
Posted by Emerson Takahashi on April 6, 2008
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.
root@hp-ux11.11:/ # passwd user
Changing password for user
Last successful password change for user: Wed Apr 23 00:06:26 2008
Last unsuccessful password change for user: Thu Feb 7 12:34:42 2008New password:
You may not re-use a previously used password.

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on April 3, 2008
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>
