Huawei 3G modem E1762 and Linux

If you are having difficulty using Linux with Huawei 3G modem , this might give you an idea on how to resolve your problem. The problem is Linux always recognize Huawei 3G modem as storage instead of modem, so need to use usb_modeswitch to switch it become a modem. Here is the command: 1. yum install usb_modeswitch 2. modify /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf Here is my example : #Huawei E1762 DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct= 0x1446 ;DefaultProduct= 0x1003 TargetVendor= 0x12d1 ;TargetProduct=0x1003 TargetProduct= 0x1446 # choose one of these: ;DetachStorageOnly=1 ;HuaweiMode=1 MessageEndpoint=0x01 MessageContent="5553424300000000000000000000001106 0000000000000000000000000000" 3. Modify /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1762.rules SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib /udev/usb_modeswitch" 4. Restart the system and use Network Manager to configure the connection. Hope this will help you. ---

Boot Acronis from PXE

Image
I found these two articles about booting into acronis environment using PXE. Source : http://thesystemadministrator.com/the_system_administrator/tips_%26_tricks/pxe%2c_aka_pre-execution_environment_-_part_1/ http://thesystemadministrator.com/the_system_administrator/tips_&_tricks/pxe,_aka_pre-execution_environment_and_acronis_-_part_2/ Few days ago, I’ve received 50 new servers without any OS preinstalled. The servers came without floppy drive and CD/DVD. I tried to connect an external CD (USB) or Disk on Key, but servers didn’t start. So, I decided to run PXE Boot . If you don't know what PXE is, here’s what is written in Wikipedia: “The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE, aka Pre-Execution Environment, or 'pixie') is an environment to boot computers using a network interface card independently of available data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems.” There are several solutions of PXE implementation. Microsoft has its Remote Installation Ser

Mastering the VI editor

For those who still need to use vi instead of vim, this might be a good guide. Introduction The VI editor is a screen-based editor used by many Unix users. The VI editor has powerful features to aid programmers, but many beginning users avoid using VI because the different features overwhelm them. This tutorial is written to help beginning users get accustomed to using the VI editor, but also contains sections relevant to regular users of VI as well. Examples are provided, and the best way to learn is to try these examples, and think of your own examples as well... There's no better way than to experience things yourself. EX Commands Conventions In this tutorial, the following convention will be used: ^X denotes a control character. For example, if you see: ^d in the tutorial, that means you hold down the control key and then type the corresponding letter. For this example, you would hold down the control key and then type d . Before You Begin The VI editor uses the fu

Configure SSH automation login

If you need a guide on how to configure SSH automation login, here is the steps. SSH Automatic Login Of course this is not the right phrase for it. It should be something like “key-based authorization with SSH”. Or simply “publickey authorization”. Or “unattended ssh login”. But I guess you know what I mean. Here are the steps: 1. Create a public ssh key, if you haven’t one already. Look at ~/.ssh. If you see a file named id_dsa.pub then you obviously already have a public key. If not, simply create one. ssh-keygen -t dsa should do the trick. Please note that there are other types of keys, e.g. RSA instead of DSA. I simply recomend DSA, but keep that in mind if you run into errors. 2. Make sure your .ssh dir is 700: chmod 700 ~/.ssh 3. Get your public ssh key on the server you want to login automatically. A simple scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub remoteuser@remoteserver.com: is ok. 4. Append the contents of your public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and remove it.

Howto: Install Skype (dynamic) on Fedora 10 64-bit

Found the solution at here : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1185767 Howto: Install Skype (dynamic) on Fedora 10 64-bit I downloaded and installed Skype on Fedora 10, 64-bit, and it came up just fine. I recommend the dynamic version, since it makes use of the existing system libraries that are managed by Fedora. This will minimize any potential library conflicts. All that is needed is to make sure you have all the 32-bit versions of the libraries Skype requires. Using the "ldd" command, I analyzed the library requirements of the "skype" program. So that you don't also have to do this, I crunched the results into a giant yum command. Become root (enter root's password when prompted): Code: su Now that you are root, cut and paste this, all on one line: Code: yum install alsa-lib.i386 dbus-libs.i386 e2fsprogs-libs.i386 expat.i386 fontconfig.i386 freetype.i386 glib2.i386 glibc.i686 keyutils-libs.i386 krb5-libs.i386 libcap.i386 libgcc.i386 libICE.i

Bash Crash in Windows Services for UNIX enviroment

After install Windows Services for UNIX and install BASH by using the package from http://www.suacommunity.com/Default.htm, whenever I launch BASH directly or launch it after entering C shell , I will received an error saying that segmentation fault (core dumped). At first , I install KB942312 hotfix as suggested from this page http://www.interix.com/tools/printable.aspx?m=14618 . The error still occur. According to the page , this KB942312 hotfix will allow BASH to run even with DEP active. So I would say this hotfix is a must in order to resolve this issue. Then I keep browsing until I come to this page : http://www.suacommunity.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=16510&mpage=1#16540 . They suggest to install KB929141 hotfix. After I did that, the BASH is running. If you keep reading further, one of them say instead of installing KB929141, we should install KB953191 because KB953191 is the newer version of KB929141. But since my BASH is running now, I would rather keep it until I face another pr

Install Fedora 11 with vmware workstation, boot issue

When you are installing Fedora 11 using Vmware workstation, you might facing an issue, that the system keep trying all SCSI device before boot into the system. Add a line scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic" to the vmx file. Use it carefully, because when you start up the vmware image, it will erase all the data on the virtual disk. If you would like to change back to BUS logic, change to scsi0.virtualDev = "buslogic". ---

Using the cat Command To Hide Files Inside Other Files

Image
I found this from : http://filthypants.blogspot.com/2008/01/using-cat-command-to-hide-files-inside.html Using the cat Command To Hide Files Inside Other Files cat is a standard command from Unix operating systems, such as BSD and Mac OS X, and Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, that can be used to concatenate and display files. In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to hide any file inside any other file using cat , such that no one will every know the hidden file is there. This obviously has a number of uses, including providing another layer of protection for sensitive information such as bank numbers, personal information, etc. WARNING : this is an advanced trick that requires the use of the command line. If you are scared of using the command line, don't bother continuing. Ok, now that that's out of the way, pick a file you want to hide and another file you want to hide it in and place both files on your desktop. In my case, I'm going to hide an

ASR Backup with USB Hard Drives

I found an article about ntbackup ASR. * Well what do you do when you need to resize partitions or change perhaps from a volume to RAID status or rebuild a RAID array? How do you get that SBS box up and running again? Many use some great disk cloning or imaging solutions out there. I've heard great things about Aconis True Image Server or Paragon Drive Backup . In the past I've used products like this with great success. However now Windows Server 2003 and thus SBS 2003 come with some great backup items out of the box to get you going again. And perhaps you don't want to pay the $899 and $399 respectively for the products above. How about using the ASR backup with ntbackup included with SBS? Microsoft has an SBS backup/restore whitepaper out there but it doesn't mention ASR. It's more from the standpoint of what if the server croaked. Well in this situation we're preparing for a change. The reason that the ASR backup is nice and I like it is that you don't

How to extract Icons from Windows executeables in Linux

From this page : http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/gnu-linux/how-to-extract-icons-from-windows-executeables-in-linux, I found a way to extract icon from the windows executable. Install the icoutils package and using wrestool command. wrestool -l eXeSMS.exe You will see heaps of output but look for the line that identifies the icon e.g. --type = 14 --name = 'MAINICON' --language = 3081 [ type =group_icon offset =0x15d6d8 size = 20 ] Once you have identified your icon you need extract it to a file wrestool -x -n MAINICON eXeSMS.exe > myicon.ico ---
