This guide is not meant for a live production environment.<br /><br />For my setup:<br /><ul><li>I'm using a Centos 5.5 machine that is not optimized in Zimbra. (has sendmail, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Apache, </span>bind etc. on it)<br /></li><li>DSL connection with DHCP. Boo!</li><li>A modem/router that sets up to routing mode.<br /></li><li>My local pc has a 192.168.1.36 static IP assigned.</li><li>Internal DNS.</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Setup DNS using Webmin</span>:<br /><br />1. Zimbra requires that you have a working DNS record. We gonna need <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm">Webmin for Centos</a> to setup a basic A (IPv4 Address) and MX (Mail Exchange) record.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Webmin is a web-based configuration utility on Linux. I used Webmin version 1.520 for this guide.<br /><br /></span></span><ul><li>Make sure you have bind installed by<span style="font-style: italic;">:<br /><blockquote></blockquote>#rpm -qa | named</span></li></ul><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-size:78%;">bind-libs-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2<br />ypbind-1.19-12.el5<br />bind-utils-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2<br />bind-chroot-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2<br />bind-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:100%;">#chkconfig named on<br />#service named start<br /></span></span></span></blockquote>2. Once installed, you can access it through your favorite browser and type the address 'https://localhost:10000'. Webmin usually listens to port 10000.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">You can also use https://127.0.0.1:10000 or https://youripaddress:10000</span></span><br /><br />3.

So let's get things started.</p><p>1. Make sure you have the SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) by typing at the terminal -> 'lspci | grep Audio' (case sensitive w/o the quote).</p><p><em>Having this audio device esp. in laptops, have high possibility that your experiencing no audio on the speaker, mic is not working or headphone jack doesn't work either. Editing the /etc/modprobe.conf and adding to the option line "model='whatever model alsa said on its website doesn't work either'". </em></p><p><em>If you manage to have a workaround on this without doing the next step. Please let me know.</em></p><p>2.If you tried mixing up the settings in 'alsamixer' and still no luck, go fire up the terminal and 'cd' to '/etc/yum.repos.d'.</p><p>3. Type 'touch ATrpms.repo'. Then 'gedit ATrpms.repo' for easier editing.</p><p>4. Copy and paste this to the file and save.</p><p>[atrpms]<br />name=EL $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms<br />baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable<br />gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms<br />gpgcheck=1<br />enabled=1<br />exclude=*kmdl*i586*<br />includepkgs=*alsa*<br /></p><p>5. Copy paste to terminal:<br /></p><p>rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms</p><p>6. 'yum install alsa-driver'</p><p>7. This will install 2 additional packages, the kml and the kernel update. After install, reboot.</p><p>8. You may also want to include the 'kernel-devel' and 'kernel-headers' just incase you will rebuild any device conflicts on the kernel update. (e.g. my fglrx driver for ATI)</p><p>9. After reboot, you can notice now that there's a headphone volume and addtl mic volume.</p><p>Cheers!</p><p><br /></p>pauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12678833286681104678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468590126861960910.post-74368162856944885582010-08-28T20:19:00.000-07:002010-08-28T20:44:18.068-07:00Atheros AR8151 driver for CentOS<p>I just bought a Gateway ECN1301i laptop (o yeah!) and I just thought, I should install a CentOS Linux into it.

Flash object loads intermittently, needs to refresh site several times to load (including YouTube videos darn it).</p><p>2. Fonts used by Firefox is really bad, imo.</p><p>3. Firefox frequently hangs on some website.</p><p>So I searched for a better alternative browser for CentOS, <strong>Google Chrome</strong> isn't in the list (no available rpm's, there's a workaround but still ain't stable) neither <strong>Safari</strong> (doesn't support my OS but should be installed on Wine or on a Virtualbox) and <strong>Swiftfox</strong> (doesn't work either).</p><p>And I bumped to <a href="http://www.opera.com/download/?os=linux-i386&ver=10.10&local=y">Opera</a> which the browser I also used in my M$ desktop. So far, it's more stable than Firefox except I get some hiccups when playing video on certain websites (not including YouTube).</p><p>And the last thing I like about it is... <em>more viewable window! </em>(My Lenovo S10 really lacks workspace, that's why).</p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASKfZ4tc3hXHXcRmqOCwd1pRdwu1WUYjxzShEZ6HnwVCYs426BjIAaeri8aI6ppSs70X3HfxJ3ht4ldElO9ii7sURyAiYcPfDHmYIYDV1aaVHutEbZTK5CP3AdDp8NE-_6DuV8SB1c2k/s1600/Screenshot.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASKfZ4tc3hXHXcRmqOCwd1pRdwu1WUYjxzShEZ6HnwVCYs426BjIAaeri8aI6ppSs70X3HfxJ3ht4ldElO9ii7sURyAiYcPfDHmYIYDV1aaVHutEbZTK5CP3AdDp8NE-_6DuV8SB1c2k/s320/Screenshot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465066197462339730" /></a><br /><p></p><p>Too bad 10.51 full is not yet available on CentOS (only beta source). </p><p>Once you've installed it and didn't liked it, you can uninstall :</p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">#yum erase opera</span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">or<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">#rpm -e opera<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:100%;">-pau</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>pauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12678833286681104678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468590126861960910.post-59985991602551110502010-04-19T01:46:00.000-07:002010-04-21T00:14:40.020-07:00Frustrated about Linux's zip apps!<p>Well, I've been downloading files from the net that has a multiple split zip archive.

So far, its been a pain in the butt when installing programs, specifically programs that needs to be compiled. </p><p>Lately, I want to use any bible program that can read NIV texts but unfortunately, <em>gnomesword or Xiphos, </em>I think, do not support NIV because of copyright issues. <em>BibleTime</em> in other hand doesn't have any RPM's for CentOS / RHEL and needs certain dependencies which I really haven't figured out. </p><p><em>(If you're thinking about PDF NIV bible, that's out of the option since it IS REALLY hard navigating or searching each verse and chapter on it.)</em></p><p>Then I stumbled upon Google and found out an NIV .bbl file on <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4459459/e-Sword_More_Bibles">click here</a> which is fortunately an e-Sword file.</p><ul><li>e-Sword, btw, is not compatible in Linux so I have to Install wine. You can install it by opening the terminal > type "<em>yum install wine</em>". If it doesn't continue, you need to install RPM Fusion <a href="http://rpmfusion.org/">click here</a></li><li>Download the e-Sword executable file from their site or might as well use an older version since I got problems on version 9. What I'm using right now is e-Sword 7.8.5.</li><li>Open Wine File on Applications > Wine > Wine File and specify the e-Sword installer and then install.</li><li>Once installed, you should probably noticed after executing it, you will see a blank text on its window. Open Wine Configuration on Applications > Wine > Wine Configuration and on Applications Tab - add e-Sword. Proceed to Libraries tab and choose from the New override for library drop down list, <em>oleaut32.dll</em> and <em>riched20.dll. </em>After, click edit on each DLL and choose "Native (Windows)" option on both.</li><li>Choose Ok and re-launch e-Sword. By now, you should see the missing texts</li></ul><p>If you downloaded the NIV .bbl file from the recent link, you should paste it to the e-Sword folder from wine - the usual path should be /home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/e-Sword. Use Nautilus for efficiency ( don't forget to press CTRL-H to see hidden files ).</p><p>-pau</p><p><br /></p>pauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12678833286681104678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468590126861960910.post-38098720704608287082010-04-12T16:30:00.000-07:002010-04-12T16:31:48.831-07:00Vista System restore error 0×80041321<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Vista System Restore error; Could not create restore point</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">Error Message:<br />Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: The task image is corrupt or has been tempered with.

Press ok and go to your browser and type on the address = http://192.168.1.1</p><p>3. It should prompt you to enter the username and password for the modem. For username type "admin" and password "1234" (w/o the quotes).</p><p>4. Go to Wizard Setup and choose the following options:</p><p>Mode = Routing</p><p>Encapsulation = ENET ENCAP</p><p>Multiplex = LLC</p><p>VPI = 0</p><p>VCI = 100 ( Metro Manila area) or 35 ( Provincial area), and then click next</p><p>5.
