Joss Whedon, Serenity: Those Left Behind

“Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…”

 

Thank you so much for this.  I means a lot to me…

Testing Another Theme

I was sent to a wordpress blog to read something and when I was there I was impressed by the theme.
Who knew!  The same theme maker of the one I use now has made the one being used on this site.

I liked it so  much I had to test it out.

Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server.

Aparently, this normally happens when you disable IPv6 in Local Area Connection.
This is due to the behavior of IPv6 in Windows Server 2008, when you disable IPv6 in Local Area Connection on Windows 2008 server.

The following error was generated when: “$error.Clear(); if ($RoleStartTransportService) { start-SetupService -ServiceName MSExchangeTransport }”, generated the following error: “Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server.”


After doing lot of troubleshooting and searching on the net, found that this is happening due to IPV6, and installation needs IPv6 to be disabled in your local area connection on the system. After disabling my setup went smoothly, follow the below instructions to disable IPv6 from your system.
To completely disable IPv6 on a Windows Server 2008-based system, follow these steps:
1. Open Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters
3. In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
4. Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER.
5. Double-click DisabledComponents, and then type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal.

Avoid the Warning from Excel Services About Refreshing External Data

If you leave this value set to the default (i.e. Yes), then you’ll be greeted with the following message for each Excel Web Part on a TFS dashboard page:

This workbook contains one or more queries that refresh external data. A malicious user can design a query to access confidential information and distribute it to other users or perform other harmful actions.

If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes to enable queries to external data in this workbook. If you are not sure, click No so that changes are not applied to your workbook.

Do you want to enable queries to external data in this workbook?

To avoid warnings before refreshing external data in Excel Services:

  1. On the SharePoint Central Administration home page, in the Application Management section, click Manage service applications.
  2. On the Service Applications page, click Excel Services Application.
  3. On the Manage Excel Services Application page, click Trusted File Locations.
  4. On the Excel Services Application Trusted File Locations page, point to the trusted file location that you want to edit (e.g. http://), click the arrow that appears, and then click Edit.
  5. On the Excel Services Application Edit Trusted File Location page, in the External Data section, clear the Refresh warning enabled checkbox, and then click OK.

fdupes

To remove all but the first of a number of duplicate files in a subfolder on Linux, use:

yes 1|fdupes -rd <folder>

 

Fdupes Examples

1) fdupes -r ./stuff > dupes.txt

Then, deleting the duplicates was as easy as checking dupes.txt and deleting the offending directories. fdupes also can prompt you to delete the duplicates as you go along.

2) fdupes -r /home/user > /home/user/duplicate.txt

Output of the command goes in duplicate.txt

fdupes will compare the size and MD5 hash of the files to find duplicates

[SOLVED] Segmentation faulty tree…

I had this issue where I could not install anything new in my Ubuntu server. After some searching I come to lean that the packages cache seemed to be corrupted

 

# symptom is something such as this
root@media:~# apt-get update
root@media:~# apt-get install htop

Reading package lists… Done
Segmentation faulty tree… 50%

# and this is what fixed the problem
# you need to be as root or su into root
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin

 

I am happy again.
