I couldn't update my OpenIndiana box today because I'd run out of space in / and /var. It was actually two problems. Problem 1 was I had clean up some very annoying snapshots (which I created, so I'm the annoying one), which I found with:
zfs list -H -t snapshot -o …=app-shells/bash-5.0_p17 has a dependency on libreadline.so.8, but puppet-admin is a binary package that has a dependency on libreadline.so.7. The puppet admin package is actually an extraction of the Debian buster package.
The final result of this was I updated the puppet-agent package in my …
New genkernel, and I found that my kernel, System.map and initramfs were no longer in the same order as before, causing problems with my grub configuration. I considered rebuilding some old kernels (just to have a fallback), or just getting rid of the old kernels... and then I decided …
I had to remove virtual/pam today as part of the Gentoo FreeBSD removal, as it is masked. See bug #697630. Unfortunately this will cause your next emerge to fail, as many of the things you've installed may have a dependency on virtual/pam and not sys-libs/pam, and it …
Somehow, during the upgrade from libvirt 4.1 to 4.3, I was having a problem building and installing the new libvirt, getting errors such as the following:
qemu_monitor_json.c:(.text+0x2de6): undefined reference to `virJSONValueGetType' ./.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu_impl.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_impl_la-qemu_monitor_json.o):
qemu_monitor_json.c:(.text+0x58b6): more undefined references to `virJSONValueGetType …Once in awhile I need to register a second factor token on another device or recreate it on a device where it already existed. I have this Android tablet that has crashed again (reset itself to factory defaults.) And without fail, I have to look up how I recreate the …
I've really only used the Intel ixgbe 10 Gb cards (up to this point) with Solaris (or Linux for that matter). I discovered the source of a long-standing problem we were having a couple of months ago. I had some of the clues, but I only put it together earlier …
I haven't been paying close attention the last few weeks and was surprised to discover that hipster stopped updating. So, I finally had time to go read the mailing list and discovered that they'd moved to a hipster-2014.1 repository that contains just the most recent packages.
Needed to set …
HBO Go stopped working for me on Linux recently (actually it might not have been super recent, I don't use it that often). Apparently a DRM problem with Flash 11.2.x on Gentoo (and other Linux versions I'm assuming), I was able to get it working again by emerging …
I have a few OpenIndiana servers now, at home and at work. I've been working hard on clustering lately. To help with my work, in both places I'm busy setting up a local repository, something I can update periodically and then use it to update all my servers and containers …
