We have RHEL 6.3 installed on an Itanium 64 bit system. We need to run a 32 bit app and therefore require the Itanium 32 bit emulation library. The problem is that RHEL 6 stopped support for Itanium and apparently the emulation lib is only available for RHEL 5 and below.
Has anyone figured out ...
@ChrisS No, it's a shit answer because it's "yeah, nevermind, I installed a bunch of crap an it's working now, so fix it by installing a bunch of shit."
@ChrisS yeah, Itanium... which actually DOES have a support issue with RHEL 6.
But is fully supported under RHEL 5. So my original question was, "what Itanium server are you using?". If he said Integrity rx5670, that's one thing... if ProLiant DL360... well, yeah.
PowerShell is a powerful tool. It’s also very different than the cmd and VBScript way of doing things that we’ve suffered through since the beginning of time. About a year ago, I set out to rewrite our custom imaging scripts and AD automation tasks that were mostly VBScript using PowerShell. I took on this effort in part (ok, in whole) as an excuse to learn PowerShell. If you haven&…
There's nothing like finding something on eBay and you go to read the description and HOLY HELL 96-SIZE FONT AND MULTICOLORED TEXT ARGHHH MY EEEYEEEYEYEESSSS
POLL - While discussing hand written notes this came up: "If you speak to people about their handwriting, it isn't long before you heard someone use the word 'ashamed". Would you say that you are ashamed of your handwriting?
A computer scientist is a scientist who has acquired knowledge of computer science, the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation.
Computer scientists typically work on the software side of computer systems, as opposed to the hardware side that computer engineers mainly focus on (although there is overlap). Although computer scientists can also focus their work and research on specific areas (such as algorithm and data structure development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, computational complexity theory, human-computer int...
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (; May 11, 1930 – August 6, 2002) was a Dutch computer scientist. He received the 1972 Turing Award for fundamental contributions to developing programming languages, and was the Schlumberger Centennial Chair of Computer Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin from 1984 until 2000.
Shortly before his death in 2002, he received the ACM PODC Influential Paper Award in distributed computing for his work on self-stabilization of program computation. This annual award was renamed the Dijkstra Prize the following year, in his honor.
Life and work
Born in Rotterdam,...
@hennes I just hope they're using those gold-coated monster HDMI cables that I keep hearing so much about. All their snake oil might leak out otherwise.
CX4 has 4 data pairs, 2 DC voltages (for running media converters), an MII bus, and ground/shield. HDMI has 4 data triples (D+, D-, G), 1 DC Voltage, I2C Bus (which MII is based on), and the usual grounding/shield pins. Just from that you can see how similar they are...
@ewwhite Ok, so the plan is basically, I'll set up the GPOs for the new RD session Host and a new Users OU. You move people into a new OU as needed and it'll make their files go to the new file server automatically. You can do it in a controlled and orderly fashion deleting their iTunes libraries at will. Once they're moved, you can have them start logging into the new RD Host
I name my home computers still.. I've been running out of names for a long while, I end up re-using a name if the new computer serves a substantially similar purpose.
@ewwhite there's a slight chance that everyone might have to get cut over to the new file server at the same time. I need to test something before I can say for sure. If that's the case, is it a big deal?
@wfaulk I'm pissed that he was wrong on this question... he had a bunch of rude comments removed.
But I think he's giving some nonsensical advice.
But yeah, TomTom is rough...
@MDMarra If I can tell the fruit client that, starting January X, 2013, all people will log onto terminal server Y and their profiles will be on pear, I'd love it.
Ah - sorry to be snippy, but you have a wag the dog here. It is not that AD does not support DNS names with spaces, but that DNS names per definition and RFC are not allowed to have spaces to start with. RFC 952 and 1123 both do not allow spaces as part of a DNS name.
So, AD does not lack suppor...
@ewwhite Sure. I've done a whole lot of work with all of the pieces involved, just never tried moving them all at once, so I need to poke around a little and make sure it behaves as I expect it does
It's less about like or not like and more to do with whether or not he's entertaining. And he is quite entertaining, just that you're laughing at him more than with him.
I've got a guy on my team, absolutely great stuff with a screwdriver or keyboard in his hand but if I locked him in a room by himself he'd manage to start a fight with his own shadow.
@ewwhite Yeah, you have to be careful when deal with TomTom. 1. English isn't his first language, I think it's his 3rd actually. 2. He's got lots-o preconceived notions, most are correct, but he'll unleash a nuclear holocaust if he thinks you're wrong regardless of "proof".
@ChrisS Absolutely... this was at old job, where I'd fly to Frankfurt and my boss wouldn't talk to me for entire workdays... silent treatment after a 9-hour flight. He's also the one who was the staunch Gentoo supporter... They'd get along great :)
@voretaq7 I used to always try to keep abreast of new versions and keep my mac shareware/freeware going... Nowadays, the OS is so integrated, I use very few external apps.
@voretaq7 No, I'm actually writing a script that creates a build file for a migration, and the input file has a field for the type of storage. As far as we're concerned, all boot volumes are prod, so even if they specify something other than "rootvg", we're going to treat them all the same way. Problem is when I do "for storageType in grep -v ^# inputfile| awk '{print $4}'| sort -u", it tells me that rootvg_whatever and rootvg_foo are two types of storage
I want to put a sed in there so it's all considered "rootvg"
basically remove any characters after rootvg if that string exists
fuck markdown- I put backticks in there and it used them to format that subshell as code.
@Cole Socially, fine. We had a record snowfall, though, and a snow truck tried getting down my street (where it won't fit and someone had illegally parked across from me) and ripped off my passenger side mirror, as well as possibly bent something in my front axle.
Isn't HP's whole thing that once you hit 5 blades, in most configs, additional blades become cheaper than 1Us? Of course, I've always heard that with a C7000
@ChrisS It's one of those skills that I know will make my life easier, but so far, I've only come into situations that absolutely require regex a couple of times.
@Iain Not like that- the most common thing I use it for is modifying text in vi, and the next most common thing I do is input sanitization in shell scripting
One day I'll learn perl and totally forget all this shit
@ChrisS I think procedural is what most people here use. I am completely comfortable in an object oriented environment, if it's anything at all like c++, but I'd be happy to just have subroutines that worked natively with return statuses/values
Got my first computer (my own) at 17. Starting doing PC gaming around 18, that's when I started to become interested in computer hardware.
Worked in Computer Sales at Best Buy starting at 19, that's when I really starting to like computers. 20, went to college for Network Engineering, got my first job in IT (desktop support) 9 months later (21 years old).
My parents bought a Packard Bell from Montgomery Ward in '94; came with DOS 5.x (including qbasic) and Win 3.1. Also, had both 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drives!
I miss the Turbo button; switched the processor from 8 MHz to 16 MHz.
