So yesterday, firefox began to crash on me.  I am not sure if the update I ran on my laptop installed a version of FF, but ever since yesterday it randomly crashes when I use it.  I can force a crash by typing in the search box on the right hand side.  Otherwise, the timing is usually right as I am doing something important and can not save my work.

Here is the tail end of my core dump:

gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.7/firefox core

This is returning nothing on a google search and driving me nuts.  basically, when editing a node that utilizes cck fields and a custom module that displays a graph, I get these errors when I click save:

We moved a staff website to a debian lenny VPS, so guess who got to rebuild librets?  this guy.  fairly easy when you figure out the debian names(i'm cut from ubuntu cloth, slight differences)

server:/rets/librets-1.4.0# sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3-dev libexpat1 libexpat1-dev bjam boost-build libboost-dev

then cd into the librets source directory and issue these in order, assuming each doesnt spit any errors.

./configure
make
makeinstall

quanta started to disappear on me after my upgrade to ubuntu 9.10.  The error when launched from the CLI would look like this
<pre>quanta: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: _ZN11QTextFormat6getKeyERK5QFontRK6QColorbNS_17VerticaLAlignmentE</pre>
 
I have no idea what is causing this but need my quanta so I will be actively working on this.  Also, others may come here so I am opening my site up to anonymous comments.
 
UPDATE: The solution to this was to 'reinstall' the libqt-mt via synaptic.

OK,

So the other day some samba shares at work stopped accepting passwords.  After issuing the smblient command with the credentials in question it became apparent that Samba couldn't communicate with the LDAP server to verify the proper credentials.  This image is a meld side by side of what a smbclient session looks like that succeeds(left) and fails(right).

Other errors, including the one that follows, led me to believe that there was a TLS/certificate issue at hand.  Look like I have a long week ahead of me.

This was done on a ubuntu 9.04 box.

Basically, run this script in a folder of your choice:

Let's say you do a mysql upgrade on your Drupal server and your Drupal nodes get garbled characters in their content like this:

 1.  Glen tells the world what he'll do for a client, right in his bio, (placing each listed home on 30 web sites). Do the same and use YOUR bio on PruSourceOne.com, Obeo, Realtor.com and your own web site

Obviously,  doesn't belong there.  It is likely you are having this Drupal/mysql 4.0/4.1 problem.

mount: block device //file.share/marketing is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device //file.share/marketing read-only

despite the same exact mount working for two other shares via /etc/fstab:

//file.share/agent /mnt/pr-file cifs rw,user=agent,pass=PASSWORD1 0 0
//file.share/agent /mnt/hin-file cifs rw,user=agent,pass=PASSWORD1 0 0
//file.share/marketing /mnt/marketing cifs rw,user=marketing,pass=PASSWORD2 0 0

I am running into quite a few of linux errors today.  thought I would document them.  first things first:

session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

and while debugging the prior error, i copied the relevant fstab entries to my laptop, and tried to run a mount -a there only to get this:
