Mišljenja sam da su njegove brojke vrlo realne i dovode nas do zaključka da smo mi sami upravo najveći lopovi, a ne X Y iz stranke ABC.

For long we've been telling stories like 'Open Source, you know, millions, billions of eyes are looking at the code and can do modifications they want.'. At first look, this is true. But, also, at first look this scares business.Open source advocates look at this from perspective 'I can fix any bug if I have brains to do it'. Business managers look at this from perspective 'Are you serious?

I've recently added Dell's PowerEdge T300 to my collection of 'computer power'. This machine comes with support for IPMI2.0. This is a brief tutorial how to take full advantage of IPMI2.0 in Ubuntu 8.04.You'll need ipmitool package (universe repository);sudo apt-get install ipmitoolthen you'll need to load all the modules:sudo modprobe ipmi_devintfsudo modprobe ipmi_sisudo modprobe

This is first in the series of posts I'll be doing in next couple of weeks regarding Ubuntu server. With these posts I would like to show you little and, maybe, unknown details which could make your life easier as an Ubuntu system administrator or, if you aren't Ubuntu system administrator, jealous. These posts aren't for new users which don't know how to start with Ubuntu, but for experienced

Note to all system administrators. There is one serious bug that leads to data loss, file corruption and your boss yelling at you. It's name is MacOSX and in it's latest version it just corrupts files on servers. It is confirmed that combination of MacOSX and, platform's flagship product, Adobe Photoshop causes file corruption on any kind of servers; Windows, MacOS, Linux... Be ware, there might

Do not just upgrade to Hardy! A bug in PowerEdge's firmware could bite you.Before you upgrade your Ubuntu 6.06 to 8.04, take a moment or two and check all devices firmware on your PowerEdge. If yours Perc (PowerEdge Adaptec based RAID controller) 3/Di didn't get firmware update for couple of years, go to the Dell support page and download update. Unfortunatly, you'll need Windows machine with a

In last 3-4 days I've upgraded 10 servers (i386 and amd64) and couple of desktops from 6.06 and/or 7.10 to 8.04, something that makes system administrators sweat :). These were upgrades of not so important machines, but whole procedure was a test case for upgrades of important machines.I taught there'll be plenty to write about, but all upgrades went without big or even medium sized problems.

Right, something that's called Exchange in Windows world.Cory, you are right. Stuff like Exchange and AD are stuff where Windows is still beating open source solutions.

I needed to shrink ext3 '/' partitions on couple of servers, couple of thousands kilometers away. The problem is that one can't shrink on line ext3 file system. Another problem is that I can't just tell someone to grab a LiveCD and shrink it. So, what did I do?I've booted ubuntu installer from grub with kickstart and preseed files on one of my web servers. Also, I used network-console anna module

War is over. Microsoft will not attack Linux or it's users any more. Linux isn't cancer and it isn't communist product for couple of months now. I think this is history.Now it's time for the real battle; Microsoft vs. Linux companies.I expect Microsoft's Linux distribution by the end of 2010 (maybe even sooner), and then I expect Novell will die (we will see if they will be first to fall).

Today I was at my friend's workplace. He's using Vista. I didn't rumble about Linux, but I couldn't not notice one operation. He drag and drop a file from desktop on to recycle bin. The amount of time needed for this operation to complete was enough for me to start thinking 'Does Recycle Bin do something new in Vista? Isn't it just for so called deleting files?'.It took at least 6 seconds to

So, mine, and probably many other Toshibas, has broken BIOS. This is not a bad thing. People aren't perfect and they do mistakes. That's why you can upgrade BIOS.What's bad is that when someone tries to notify Toshiba about that, they response is that they don't support Linux. OK, you don't, but you have a broken BIOS, that has nothing to do with Linux and that bug is probably waiting to "explode

Today I've (re)assembled an openmosix cluster. It is composed of more than 60 machines. Most of them are PentiumD. Kernel is SMP, so it's basically around 100 processor cores. Since computers are used for daily work, I have lots of swap on master node. In the morning, all processes returns to master node, get stoped and pushed in swap. In the evening, like vampires, they wake up and spread all

First, let me start with: lol! Openoffice fork? Groklaw? I would like to see an operating system/distribution without 'forked' programs. Almost all distributions fork almost all programs. With Novell's statement about giving back the code (which is not something they could or could not do - they must do it if they want to distribute it), I don't see how much different is that comparing to Ubuntu/

One of the tools I *was* missing on Linux workstation is AutoCAD. I'm aware of lots of free CADs and non-free CADs, but to be honest, none of them kept me more than 2-3 hours of testing and frustration. Then, out of nowhere, BricsCAD show up. It's based on InteliCAD and it's a member of OpenDWG alliance.Right, it's not free, but it does support Linux. Application runs trough wine, but new version

Big weekend is behind me. I was at two conferences and two exams in only 6 days. Exams went well and both conferences were great. Last objective in this week was conference in Budapest. Many years have passed since last time I was in Budapest. I was surprised how beautiful that city is now.I've met Szilveszter Farkas, Jani Monoses, Raphael Pinson and Gabor Suveg.

My old Inspiron 8600 served me well last 2 years, but it was time to move on. It's not that it's unusable anymore, but it doesn't do everything I want it to do. And, it can do things I don't need/want.2 years ago when I searched for laptop, things I needed were big screen, nvidia card for playing games and wireless card. Now I wanted less weight, smaller size and video card that will be able to

I repeat, do _not_ install Edgy!Otherwise, you can get addicted to new gdm theme and login/logout sounds. I'm serious, I've already heard people talking "I have to record this sounds", "Where's that file", etc...So, I can't stress this enough, kids do not take Edgy, Edgy creates addiction.

7 days ago SCSI disk on ubuntu-hr.org server died. It was an 8 years old IBM disk. It died a day before a scheduled meeting about plans for Edgy translation. On that meeting we agreed about what hardware we are going to buy to replace that disk and we've actually collected money for this task.Next day I went to local IT stores to buy IDE disk, but none of them had 300GB IDE disk. They were all

Fixes in Fedora aren't backported like those for Debian or Ubuntu. Bugs in Fedora are fixed by upgrading to newer upstream version of product. Is this better than backporting? Well, I'm not the one to judge, yet.Then Xorg 7.1 happend.Before I continue, let me just say that I have Nvidia card.As Fedora did it untill now, they should package Xorg 7.1 and push it to archives.

So, vacation is over. It was great, as always, but now is the time to get back to work. Until October I'm planing to study in the first half of the day, and after 4PM checkout what's happening with CUPS (and other stuff) in Ubuntu.So, hello again!P.S. This spell checker in Firefox 2 looks great :)

Time to get in a car and drive 300km south to beautifull beaches and even more beautifull girl(s) :) Since my job doesn't understand idea of "unavailable", I got my self a Vodafone UMTS/GPRS card and CA-42 Nokia cable for my NOKIA 6020. That Vodafone card wasn't so good idea since it doesn't support EDGE, but my 6020 does :) HOWTO for CA-42 on Dapper would be plug and play, and for Vodafone card

In a short introduction, it's obvious that they now what they are talking about.

On 2006/05/05 we started a PPP project. The goal of that project was translating some often used programs. Both Senko and I didn't think big about that. Some calculations said that we could do 5000 to 10000 lines max (if we get 5 people to do 100 lines/day). But, something strange happend... We got to 5000 very quickly, then there was 10000, then 15000 and finally, the number stoped at 18000

Projekt Pametni Patak is rough translation of Project Dapper Drake in Croatian language. Goal of this project, which starts on 2006/05/05 and ends on 2006/05/19 is to translate Dapper as much as it's possible. Yes, there is a catch. This isn't just translation marathon. We will award 5 best translators with cca 70€. We addressed to local Linux community, since ubuntu-hr team isn't big enough for

So, CUPS in upcoming Dapper has few problems. Nothing scary and will be fixed before release. Actually, it's share of bugs is same as of other services. I noticed bugs in CUPS cause I spent some time on it in last few days. But Dapper's CUPS bugs are nothing compared to bugs in OSX (notice how dapper is still under development, and OSX had it's share of versions).People that do Linux

Instead of going out with my g/f, I spent this evening fixing bugs in Ubuntu bacula packages. True, true, I didn't gave much of my time to this project in last couple of months. But, still...Hm.Well, at least all bacula bugs in LP are closed now :)

It was luck that three people contacted me about same thing in one week. 4 people could do it, yes...And we DID IT!On October, 25., Croatian Ubuntu LoCo team was scheduled for a Community Council. 4 brave people took the stand and decided to fix lots of broken Croatian translations and translate new apps.
