Thunderbird + Lightning on Ubuntu 9.10: unable to add new calendar
Just tried to setup Thunderbird + Lightning on Ubuntu Karmic, but somehow I couldn’t add a new calendar as the field was greyed out. Solution: install libstdc++5 (here from the Debian Lenny repository), un- and reinstall lightning and you’re good to go.
Debian logcheck ignore file for sSMTP
On a server, I use logcheck to get an email based on logfile analysis if anything goes wrong and doesn’t fit the usual patterns. In addition, I use sSMTP to forward all sent mails to my mailserver. Unfortunately, this solution ends up in sending a mail like the following every hour because of a bug in logcheck’s ignorefile for sSMTP.
Dec 12 22:02:06 hostname sSMTP[22391]: Sent mail for logcheck@hostname (221 2.0.0 Bye) uid=101 username=logcheck outbytes=639
To fix this, I replaced the contents of the file /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ssmtp with the following lines:
^w{3} [0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} [a-zA-Z0-9]+ sSMTP[[0-9]+]: Sent mail for logcheck@.*$
^w{3} [0-9] [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} [a-zA-Z0-9]+ sSMTP[[0-9]+]: Sent mail for logcheck@.*$
I removed the other lines, because sSMTP shouldn’t do anything else on the system and if it would, I’d like to be informed. If you need more ignore patterns you might have to keep/edit some of the original lines.
Use VPN connections in network-manager-pptp without rebooting
When configuring VPN connections in Ubuntu through network-manager-pptp the connections don’t get displayed until a reboot due to a bug. In the bugtracker I found a solution which makes the connections available without a reboot.
First, restart dbus
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Then run the NetworkManager applet by opening a command window with ALT+F2 and typing in nm-applet.
Ruby On Rails auf Ubuntu 8.04
Ich wollte soeben auf meinem frisch installierten Ubuntu 8.04 folgendermaßen Ruby On Rails installieren, um mal wieder zu versuchen, mich darin einzuarbeiten ;-)
maff@mafftop:~$ sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems irb ri rdoc > ruby1.8-dev build-essential maff@mafftop:~$ sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
Die Installation der Pakete über apt verlief gewohnt problemlos, aber gems erwartete mich mit einer netten Fehlermeldung:
maff@mafftop:~$ sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find rails (> 0) in any repository
Hmm, komisch. Gerade Rails wird nicht gefunden? Das kanns doch fast nicht sein. Also hab ich ein bisschen gesucht und einen Post gefunden, der das Problem beheben soll. Also hab ich mal schön Schritt für Schritt alles nachgemacht :-) Durch ein gem env wird das Installationsverzeichnis von gems ausgespuckt, in dem der cache-Pfad gelöscht werden soll:
maff@mafftop:~$ sudo gem env
RubyGems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8
- GEM PATH:
- /var/lib/gems/1.8
- REMOTE SOURCES:
- http://gems.rubyforge.org
maff@mafftop:~$ sudo rm -f /var/lib/gems/1.8/source_cache
Ok, und nun? Ein erneuter Versuch, rails zu installieren scheiterte mit der selben Fehlermeldung. Also hab ichs mit einem Update von gems versucht:
maff@mafftop:~$ sudo gem update Updating installed gems... Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Gems: [] updated
Et voilà:
