Re: [Linux-users] Open Office Calc calculation problen

2010-11-15 Thread Glenn Cogle
 =IF(N68=N69,TRUE())  can also be written as =N68=N69, which returns TRUE or
FALSE

=ABS(N68-N69)0.005 will return TRUE if the two values are close enough,
or FALSE if they're not.

 . . . adjust the tolerance value as required.

 I have a spreadsheet which contains the following formula...

=IF(N68=N69,TRUE())

 The 2 cells referenced each contain an identical amount formatted
 111.11 but the formula returns false. The reason for the error only
 shows when I reformat the cells to 12 decimal places.

 How do I set up my formula so that it will work on the displayed rounded
 values, not the calculated values?

 BTW the amount causing the problem is the result of calculating GST at
 15/115 of the gross amount.

 Should I be rounding the GST calc?


 Ideally all money types should be calculated using fixed point arithmetic.
 Many programmers do not bother.

 Something like this is an alternative:-

 IF ((ABS(N69-N69)0.01),TRUE())

Do you have a line that looks like this:

tcp0  0 :::22   :::* 
 LISTEN  1688/sshd



Also look at tcpdump to see if the packets are hitting the right box


On neptune
sudo tcpdump -i eth0 port 22

and in another xterm try your ssh session attempt.
^C to stop it.

Re: [Linux-users] ssh connection timed out

2010-11-15 Thread Steve Holdoway
IIRC ( having given up on vmware - is virtualbox an option? ) you can
create up to 3 network connections, one of which offers networking to
the host, and one is bridged. Is the bridged network set up on your
Ubuntu client?

Cheers,

Steve

 Hi, I am trying to ssh to a Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS virtual machine - 
 temporary host is an XP box running VMWare Server 2.02.  Previously when 
 hosted on an ubuntu box I could ssh to it, whether this move has 
 something to do with this breakage or not I'm unsure.
 
 The VM appears to function normally in other ways.  I can ping it from 
 the network by name or IP address, I can ping from it by name or IP 
 address.  I can ssh from this box to another on the network.
 
 I believe the daemon is running and listening on port 22:
 ro...@neptune:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
   * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server 
 sshd  
  
 [ OK ]
 ro...@neptune:~$ sudo netstat -anltp | grep sshd
 tcp6   0  0 :::22   :::*
 LISTEN  6464/sshd
 
 Nothing relevant in iptables:
 ro...@neptune:~$ sudo iptables  -L
 Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
 target prot opt source   destination
 
 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
 target prot opt source   destination
 
 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
 target prot opt source   destination
 
 Nothing but commented lines in /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny.
 
 Error is always this:
 ro...@mercury:~$ ssh neptune
 ssh: connect to host neptune port 22: Connection timed out
 (same with ssh ro...@neptune or ssh ip-address)
 
 This also:
 ro...@mercury:~$ telnet neptune 22
 Trying 10.2.1.202...
 telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
 
 Here endeth my efforts.  Can anyone suggest where to from here?
 
 Cheers,
