NOTE: I took the time to get to the bottom of the issue discussed in this post. There’s a new post here that explains the “right way” to use Makefiles with yocto. As always, the error in this post was mine I’ve officially “drank the Kool-Aid” and I’m convinced openembedde and Yocto are pretty awesome. [...]
XenClient is no different from other Xen configurations in that the networking hardware is shared between guests through a bridge hosted in dom0 (or a network driver domain in the case of XenClient XT). For most use cases the standard Linux bridge will route your traffic as expected. We ran into an interesting problem however [...]
Working out of my “home office” these past two weeks I’ve found a few short comings in my setup. While on my first teleconference last week I spent an hour holding my cellphone to my head. Miserable. I never thought I’d miss a land line / speaker phone. Easy problem to solve though, just get [...]
Started with a new employer (Citrix) today. Naturally my first task of setting up a development system was more work than I wanted it to be. Turns out the EliteBook 2560p has Intel 83579LM network hardware and the Debian Squeeze e1000 driver predates it. Using ‘testing’ is always an option but not a very stable [...]
I’ve been working on a fix to a system script that passes around and manipulates IP addresses. With IPv6 becoming more prevalent this script must work with IPv6 addresses not just v4. While working on this and digging around the web I ran across some stuff that I think is worth sharing. The first thing [...]
Spent a few minutes searching for a howto for setting up ethernet interface bonding on a new file server I’m building today. Nothing special but I found a bunch that aren’t that great … I know, welcome to the internet right? But I did find one that’s awesome from tuxhelp.org. My final config went like [...]
I’ve continued to make progress in my efforts to get SELinux working on my laptop. My day job has been pretty demanding these days but I ran into a few interesting AVCs and had to come up with a fix that is worth mentioning. Let’s start with the AVCs: avc: denied { read } for [...]
Most of the work that’s gone into the Debian SELinux policy seems to have has been done on servers. After taking a serious look at the AVCs on my laptop it seems that most of the power management stuff isn’t quite working. It was close though so the patch I had to whip up wasn’t [...]
I’ve had a HP DL360 hosting my blog, MySQL, SMTP and IMAP servers for a while now. The server’s been great and I’ve always intended to add an online spare (a.k.a. hot spare) for a little piece of mind. I’ve finally got around to it and it turns out that the syntax for using the [...]
In setting up SELinux on my Laptop running Squeeze I’m taking a pretty standard approach. First off I’m working off the packages provided in Sid maintained by Russell Coker so most of the hard work has been done. There are a few programs, mostly specific to a laptop that still aren’t in the right domains. [...]
