Kubuntu FreeNx Sound and Network

Recently I needed to use Nx with my oildu Kubuntu machine.I struggled with many problems to succeed. First of I recognised that Kubuntu network configuration fails (unconfigured) when I dont login to my account and get an X login. I have had network configuration manually edited to files /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf. But I used  know that the manual settings at /etc/network/insterfaces is not considered by the network-manager rather network-manager uses its settings. Because newtwork-manager doesnt start without logging in to X, I was not able to connect to my machine in any way at network. The first major problem. To resolve this I removed network-manager and installed "wicd" instead.Put the appropiate settings to wicd configuration and rebooted the computer.Voila, my machine got connected to the network (I guess it still  uses the wicd settings not the ones at those two files under /etc, but anyway). Now the second problem. OK i installed the freenx by usind freenx-ppa team's repo.But when I  connect to  machine and try to listen to music there is no sound even I check a setting at nxclient like "Add multimedia support". I researched and saw that it needs Esd (Esound) xine plugin. I firstly installed some packages like "pulseaudio-esound-compat" but no help. Then I found a package "libxine1-all-plugins" and installed. Finally choosing this device at Amarok's settings I got the sound from my remote machine. Lots of research and try gave me the sound :))

An Awk feature

I was trying to use sub (or gsub) function in awk to delete an \r from the end of line. For that purpose I used dum=sub(/\r/,"",$0) and thought that the variable "dum" will be filled with the changed value of $0. But I realised that sub function only make the change and returns 0,1 accordingly. So I wrote like this sub(/r/,"") ; x=$0;

Centos 6 Postgresql 9.1 Install

Today I have changed my mind and decided to begin learning and using Postgresql. On a Centos 6 host there are some ways of installing Postgresql. I have chosen the easy one: use repos. Here http://yum.pgrpms.org/repopackages.php is the official Postgresql repos for Red Hat related distros. I have chosen the x86_64 rpm for Centos 6 and installed it. Later using yum install postgresql91-server I have installed three packages postgresql91,postgresql91-server and postgresql91-libs which is enough for now to start Postgresql 9.1. Using the instructions at /usr/share/doc/postgresql91-9.1.1/README.rpm-dist , I first did service postgresql-9.1 initdb and then service postgresql-9.1 start.Voila! Now let the journey begin! Edit:  Here is another place to look instructions http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/203-postgresql90-yum.html

OpenBSD Nfsen install

I was  trying to find a solution for network monitoring as a friend's request. OpenBSD is the firewall. I saw the Nfsen packages and installed to a 5.2 server. After some effort trying to understand what is going on behind, I realised that Netflow is a protocol by Cisco designed to export router traffic to outside. And OpenBSD has a support of it with pflow interface. First I made a new pflow0 interface like ifconfig pflow0 flowdst 127.0.0.1:9998 flowsrc 127.0.0.1 up Then made some configuration changesto /etc/nfsen.conf and /var/www/htdocs/nfsen/conf.php. Because Apache in OpenBSD runs in chrooted by default, if you dont make the necessary changes in these pages you got an error stating  ERROR: nfsend connect() error: Permission denied!  ERROR: nfsend - connection failed!!  ERROR: Can not initialize globals! which is because apache cant reach the communication socket which is initially  located at $PIDDIR/nfsen.comm namely /var/db/nfsen/run direc...
