If your Linux video is playing back with green tints (MPlayer, VLC, Totem, etc) then your XV_HUE settings may have somehow got scrambled. I think mine became scrambled when I updated to Ubuntu 9.10, but I am not sure. I currently run under NVidia drivers.

Before doing anything else, please check your monitor cable, both ends. Make sure the cable is plugged in firmly. If you have a spare cable test that as well. A bad monitor cable can cause all kinds of color and flicker issues.

To see if it is an X-Windows HUE issue try the following and if this works then hues are probably the issue.

If you get the following errors trying to mount a Windows XP volume on Linux then some registry work on the XP box might resolve it.

  • Via mount -t cifs
    • mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory
    • Via smbclient
  • NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES

It’s the cifs message that is confusing. It sounds like the memory problem is on the Linux side, but it is not. It is a problem on the Windows side. The smbclient program returns a more useful error. Examnine the Event Viewer system log and you will probably see some srv related errors. ... Click to read more

I have been fighting a nasty memory problem on my subversion server. The server would run fine, then Ruby mongrel processes or httpd processes would crash at nearly random times. It took a few days to narrow it down. In my case it I am ruining RedMin, mod_dav and httpd but the issue can be reproduced without RedMine. ... Click to read more

SVN is not always intuitive and its errors are often even less so. Such was my experience when I tried to restore a file that have been accidentally deleted many revisions ago. The normal process spoken of is to simply copy the file from the old revision into the current revisions. The first step is to find the file:

svn log --verbose

Then scan for the file revision where the file was removed. Let’s say the file was canfield.conf, we look for the D operation on canfield.conf in the log, then we know the prior version contains the file we want. ... Click to read more

Thomas Quickstad, better know as Dr. Tom, is a dentist local to the Issaquah, WA area. Dr. Tom had a number of changes he wanted done to his static site and also wanted to have his staff contribute content and patients to have a way to interact with him online. We decided to switch from the static site to a simple out-of-the-box Drupal site to provide a very quick turn around time, low initial cost and maximum flexibility. Canfield Research Group configured the Drupal system, DNS, SSL certificates, IMAP email (other services we offer) and trained the office staff so 99% of the site could be administered by Dr. Tom and his staff. ...

There were a number of steps required to get "FeedBurner":http://www.feedburner.com to work the way I wanted it to. My goal was a seamless RSS feed that I could easily track using FeedBurner's wonder statistics and maybe get some wider exposure.
