Out at Vestreng this weekend, been out and doing forest tending and preparing for next winter, cutting down fire wood. Had a tractor fail on my way back one time. Not a hard thing to fix, just had to put in reverse then the tree was freed from the wheel.
This is the result of 1 1/2 days of work, ten more and I should have taken out enough for next winter.
Quite simple to install VmWare-player, just follow the guide available here http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-vmware-player-in-ubuntu-9-10. But note, if the installer hangs like it did for me, kill the installer (I did a reboot), then follow this steps http://my.opera.com/titzesan/blog/ubuntu-9-10-installing-vmware-player-2-5-3 Voila, installed and running flawlessly.
I thought I had created a blog post about this issue already, but was not able to find any information when I desperately needed to find the port number used to access the admin console of my local WAS installation. Anyhow, the trick is the file serverindex.xml
You will find the file in the directory located at
<AppServerRoot>\profiles\AppSrv01\config\cells\<cellname>\nodes\<nodename>\
So I found my console at http://localhost:9060/ibm/console/
See the InfoCenter for more information
Pictures taken when I arrived at work this morning around eight o’clock.
And on my way back home I stopped at a pedestrian crossing. The first car stopped, no problem, but then came one up behind it – way to fast and then bang!!! No one got hurt at least and I could go on, passing the spot where I crashed yesterday, this time without any incidents…
I found this guide on how to mount your cell phone using bluetooth, in my case a Nokia 6280. I got an error when I tried to run the command “sudo modprobe fuse”, but it turned out that I could just skip it. Neath…!
On my way home today I had an accidents with my bike. Out at Lysakerlokket the fastest way it through the parking house. At first there is a bit downhill with a sharp left turn at the bottom. I did not think of it at all, but realized when trying to use the breaks that wheels with spikes and polished concrete is not a good combination at all. Luckily just a graze wound and a bracket for my rear light broken, apart from that nothing to complain about.
Have been struggling quite hard (at least on my level it was hard (Jackass på lavt nivå )) to enable my installation of Linux to read from my Polar 725x heart rate monitor but now I have raised the white flag. Since I’m not a c-programmer or a hardcore Unix/Linux administrator I must admit that I find really hard to struggle with low level IR-issues combined with the need to run make to install the software that should read the exercises. And when that is done, I must install another application to view the data.
I think my next option will be to try out Windows XP running on a VmWare-image, or worst of it all…dual boot…annoying because it would just be because of the Polar SW not running on Linux.
…a bit angry since I actually got to install s710, and by using irdadump I know that my laptop and the watch are communicating. But running the Polar Protrainer on Linux using Wine enables all features except the use of IR…doh! I’ve seen some postings of people who has managed that as well, but that is far beyond my level of knowledge. Sometimes Open Source is not as open as people say it is…ok, I know how to read the code, but my God it is a long way before I can do anything with it…
Struggled to figure out how I could get the IR-port to function. It turned out that the port was functioning but I needed to send some data. Unlike Win XP which had a pop-up whenever a IR device was present, my Ubuntu installation have no such. Some struggeling, but I found this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1753177&postcount=4 The command “ircp -r” saved me and I could transfer a picture from my cell phone to the laptop via IR.
Coop OBS has it all, even dirty laundry on sale…
Based on the guideline found at http://www.spotify.com/en/help/faq/wine/ I tried to do the same with my Cd collector program which they for some reason have decided not to make a Linux version of.
With Wine installed I downloaded the installation file from http://www.collectorz.com/music/download.php
Then I just ran “wine musiccollectorsetup_13327937.exe”, plain and simple. Wine creates some errormessages, but it was no showstoppers.
Started it by clicking on the icon on the desktop. The first time I tried to scan a cd I got a small problem, since the CD-drive did not show up. But that was solved easily with closing the application, then open “Configure Wine”. Go to the “drives”-tab, then choose Autodetect and remember to click “Apply”. The next time I tried it worked flawless.
And if your CD drive won’t open, check out this posting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30509 Just right-click the icon and “eject”.
