Planetbeing, iPhone hacker had managed to dual boot an iPhone to run both Android and iPhoneOS.

The video’s long but intended to walk you thought the whole process. You actually see Linux booting and shit…

For now it’s only working with the original iPhone and is still quite buggy. Think about the future :D

SIRIM’s site has been exploited with malware. The compromised URL is “www.sirim.my/pop_event2.asp?id=685″. The URL when accessed downloads malicious software and infects the client PC. If I were you I would not access that link.

From what I know many Malaysian sites are still susceptible to cross side scripting and SQL injection attacks. Chances are this is what happened this time.

Google has already picked this up and is currently warning users about the threat. Google Advisory

For admin’s who know what they are doing(most times) this can sometimes be an annoying experience.

There’s a simple noop script over at bashcurescancer to help work around session timeouts. This will work for ssh and also the default virtual consoles.

 

 

Watch noop in action.

I am facing the same annoying beep issue which I experienced on my Linux notebook before on my XP machine now.

Most users don’ t fancy having sounds turned on their OS. In XP turning off your sound schemes will turn off all notification sounds but then all beeps get channeled to your pc speaker instead thus begins the annoyance. I read somewhere that MS claims that this is a bug with the motherboards, ya right!!

Fortunately the fix was simple. I downloaded TweakUI from MS and unchecked the “Beep On Errors” from the general options area.

This is a common problem with DB servers with heavy transactions. In my environment there are 6 DB instances running on the server. No quite the optimized setup I would say.

The fix was to increase the total file descriptors kernel parameter count in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. I doubled my limit from 8192 to 16384.

The walk through,

1. Find out what the current open file descriptor limit is.

~# more /proc/sys/fs/file-max

~# 8192

or

~# sysctl -a | grep fs.file-max

~# fs.file-max = 8192

2. View how many open file descriptors are currently being used.

~# more /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

~# 8191

3. View how many files are open. The number returned might defer as 1 file descriptor can have multiple open files attached to it.

~# lsof | wc -l

~# 10325

4. Edit the kernel paramneter file /etc/sysctl.conf and add line “fs.file-max=[new value]” to it.

~# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

fs.file-max = 331287

5. Apply the changes.

~# sysctl -p
~# fs.file-max = 331287

Problem fixed.

Most Linux desktop users don’t fancy the default fonts which ship default with Linux. Luckily there are a few ways you could easy enjoy Microsoft fonts on your Linux desktop.

The simplest way would be to use the package manager to add distro specific packages to install the fonts. openSUSE, Ubuntu and many other distros now provide the fonts with a disclaimer which you will have to agree to before the fonts get installed.

If the above did not work for you then download this rpm package: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jengelh/AnyDistro/noarch/MicrosoftFonts-1-jen14.noarch.rpm which will provide the fonts for you. Use your package manager to install the package or simply install it from the command line using the command below. An advantage of this rpm package is that it includes the Tahoma fonts which is not included by the distro specific packages.

rpm -ivh  MicrosoftFonts-1-jen14.noarch.rpm

The third and final way which is also the legal way would be to copy the fonts over from a licensed Windows XP computer. Move them over using winscp or a usb thumb drive,WinSCP in my case. Once moved over simply use your font’ manager to install them. In my case KDE, the font manger can be accessed at KDE Menu -> Configure Desktop -> System Administration -> Font Installer -> “Administrator Mode”.

Enjoy your fonts, drop me a comment if you need help.
