RE: [SLUG] VmWare configure error
Hi there I hope this helps Your kernel was built with gcc version 4.1.3, while you are trying to use /usr/bin/gcc version 4.2.3. This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler /usr/bin/gcc version 4.2.3 anyway? [no] After reading some different ways to fix this problem I found this one, and it worked great. first execute: ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* to see which versions you have installed, this is my output lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-12-05 16:21 /usr/bin/gcc - /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204836 2007-10-19 11:38 /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192532 2007-10-14 11:49 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16312 2007-10-19 11:31 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2018 2007-04-08 21:57 /usr/bin/gccmakedep As you may see I have 4.1 and 4.2 versions installed but my gcc command is linked to 4.2, to solve that just enter these commands. su - export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1 and then vmware-config.pl Kind regards, Gareth Smith IT Operations and Infrastructure 68-72 Waterloo Rd North Ryde, NSW, Australia 2113 Desk:+61 2 8306 6989 Mobile: +61 414 818 575 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daryl Thompson Sent: Monday, 27 October 2008 10:20 AM To: slug@slug.org.au Subject: Re: [SLUG] VmWare configure error Hi Tried it and I still get the same error Regards, Daryl Thompson Daryl Thompson wrote: Hi Sulgers I am having trouble running perl /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl on my Fedora 9 it stops with error make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' Unable to build the vmmon module.

Re: [SLUG] Where to buy cheap Cisco routers?
2008/10/26 Dean Hamstead [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ebay cisco stuff is constantly churning through. However your question seems two fold. 1) im not sure what router i want 2) where can i get one. You are right - I'm looking both for a place I can find stuff and a good advise. so as for point 1) you will need to be more specific with your requirements. However assuming an adsl router, ebay is still a great place to start. However im sure many will point out that cheaper alternatives may prove just as, if not more, satisfactory to a cisco solution. My workplace has a few dozens of servers, desktops and virtual servers. They are all hanging through a tiny SonicWall TZ170 which isn't coping. We already have the xDSL modems. I think what I need is an Ethernet-connected box which can copy bits around more efficiently than the TZ170. I got a few pointers to iptrading, which was the only serious one I found on Google before I turned to the list. I'm considering their offer.

[SLUG] Ubuntu gcc version problem
Just upgraded. There only seems to be one version of gcc available in the repositories. apt-cache show gcc-4.2 tells me I have Version: 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.24-21-generic ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) When I run vmware-config.pl I get the following warning message: Your kernel was built with gcc version 4.2.3, while you are trying to use /usr/bin/gcc version 4.2.4. What version am I running? Should I care? vmware-config.pl gives dire warnings about impending crashes, although I've found two posts on the net suggesting that I can bypass the warning. Failing that, is it a reasonable workaround to restart with an older kernel? thanks, David. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

It's warning you because different versions of gcc *might* do things like layout structures differently, meaning the newly built modules *might* get a wrong offset and end-up poking around where they're not supposed to (i.e. ABI compatability). The results could be from nothing at all to all hell breaking loose. However, for a minor version bump like this it is very unlikely anything like that changed in gcc, so you should be fine. If you want to be really sure, re-compile your kernel with the gcc on your system now. -i -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Yes, and even my boss asked this and actually over a year ago I designed such an option (with two boxes and fail-over). We might even have enough spare hardware to do that (plus buy some NIC's) but: 1. It'll take more time and manpower to design and execute than finding a bolted device designed to do just that. Resources we don't have (we are busy deploying customer-facing servers). 2. A Linux box will be one of the older boxes with a disk drive and other parts which can fail, something we can't afford for such a central piece of our network. So I easily convinced my boss it's worth looking for a $2k box instead, as much as it would be fun to prove to all the non-believers that linux is great(TM) (there are a few left in the company, though we are slowly converting them - e.g. our dev leader just installed Ubuntu on the new laptop he got from work and intends to erase Vista completely from it :).

Re: [SLUG] Where to buy cheap Cisco routers?
For your money a linux router will do a whole lot more. I know companies that use them (ones bigger than you sound) and have very little issue. There are also commercial linux alternatives, netbox blue, snapgear (now owned by secure computing who is owned by macaffee http://www.securecomputing.com/index.cfm?skey=1485), heck even Checkpoint now run SPLAT (Checkpoint modified linux) on commodity HP servers. If you are looking the route of a user Cisco which won't do much more than packet filtering and Nat. You should at least knock together with even an old p3 a Linux router to see how it goes, you can put in a second disk for Raid1 through mdraid or LVM, and then even put in a second box for redundancy. On The TZ170, these were notorious for issues, from overheating to random packet broadcasts that would flood the network. Check for a newer firmware, they fix a lot of the issues.
