Any updates and notes are welcome in the comments.
Remember, before you start “spamming” your friends ask them if they want to receive e-mail to SMS/MMS. Most of the plans do not include unlimited SMS and the user usually pays incoming SMS-es.
And for the “victims” if you do not want to receive e-mail to SMS ask your provider to stop that service as I did with my cell phone after a “friend” started to use e-mail to SMS (even it was not an emergency) instead simply sending me an e-mail.

How to repair Linux(CentOS) software RAID
Filed Under Fix, Howto, news | Leave a Comment
Sooner or later hard drives fail…
That’s why we use RAID arrays. The best solution is to use hardware RAID – one assisted with specialized processor on the board. In that category I do not include cheap (called Fake RAID) solutions integrated on the motherboard.
But unfortunately sometimes real RAID controllers are too pricey – here on help comes software RAID.
The good news is that it is included in most of the recent OS. Linux does not make an exception and the software included is really well optimized and even recommended to achieve better performance over Fake RAID.
…
Now in case of failure we are protected, but RAID 1 and 5 will protect the data in case of one drive failure so it is better to replace the failed drive as soon as possible, but on other side you do not want to stop the machine right now.
NOTE: If you have IDE HDD do not use following procedure. IDE drives are NOT HOTSWAPPABLE and removing it may cause MORE DAMAGE.
This is valid also for ordinary s-ATA and SCSI drives.
In case that you have hotswappable drive SCA or similar you can replace the drive when the machine is working.
If you are not sure check the documentation that come with your hardware.
And now after all this precautions let’s start:
Determine the failed drive
To check what array and what drive have problem simply type:
cat /proc/mdstat
Here is sample output:
md2 : active raid5 sdd2[4](F) sda2[0] sdc1[2] sdb2[1]106221312 blocks level 5, 256k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [UUU_]In this case the problem is sdd.
Check drive size and type
For the size type:
fdisk -lAnd look for sdd in the output.
To check exact drive model type:
dmesg|lessand again look just before SCSI device sdd:
Next step is to obtain replacement drive
(ideally the same model)
Dump the partition table from the drive, if it is still readable:
sfdisk -d /dev/sdd > partitions.sddRemove the drive to replace from the array:
mdadm /dev/md2 -r /dev/sdd2Look up the Host, Channel, ID and Lun of the drive to replace,
by looking in
cat /proc/scsi/scsiRemove the drive from the bus
echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsiVerify that the drive has been correctly removed
by looking in
cat /proc/scsi/scsiPhysically replace the drive
Unplug the drive from your SCA bay, and insert a new drive
Add the new drive to the bus:echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi(this should spin up the drive as well)
Recreate the layout
Re-partition the drive using the previously dumped partition table:
sfdisk /dev/sdd < partitions.sddIf failed drive was unreadable here you need to create new partitions
Add the drive to your array
mdadm /dev/md2 -a /dev/sdd2You can check if the operation was successful by issuing
cat /proc/mdstat Inspired with modifications fromNov

I did not notice right away, but since version 8 of acrobat there is GPU hardware acceleration. For now only 2d and no CUDA or AVIVO, but still a step in right direction.
Unfortunately Adobe did not enable it by default so you need to do it.
Here are the steps to follow:
Start Acrobat
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display
If your video card is supported in the rendering section you will find “Use 2D GPU Acceleration”. Just check it as shown below and enjoy.

Upgrade HP/Compaq Presario 1950NX
Filed Under Fix, Windows | Leave a Comment
My PC is HP/Compaq Presario 1950NX and it come with integrated Video Card (Nvidia 6150) and 1G RAM.
Even it has good CPU (Athlon XP 3800) lack of memory and slow video card did not allow me to use high detail settings even on older games.
To improve the performance of the system I’ve added 1G of RAM (~$50) for total of 2G (4x512M).
And added PCI expressx16 video card from DiamondMultimedia Viper HD 2600 XT 512M (~$65).
As usual the upgrade was not flawless.
I’ve disabled the driver of NVIDIA card as noted in installation document that come with the card (always read those documents they contain important instructions) and set from BIOS PCI express as primary video controller.
After that I’ve installed the card and then the drivers from the CD.
Up to here no problems…
But after I started video player I noticed that simply there is no sound. As usual I verified the cables – so many times I simply did not plug them, but everything was OK.
Then I opened control panel -> sound and audio devices to see for my surprise that the sound card was set to none.
Next step was to check Device manager – only one adapter was listed – ATI Function Driver for High Definition Audio…
After seeing this It light up – The Video card has HDMI output and is capable to transmit audio via that connection. This was counted as sound device and since in BIOS onboard audio was set to AUTO it was disabled.
Simply setting it to Enabled bring back my sound.

Changes in comments. UPDATED
Filed Under Announcements | 1 Comment
Even protection from spam comments does work correctly I still get a lot of comments to review in case of false positives.
To ease my work from today before you can enter a comment you need to prove to the system that you are human by solving captcha.
Sorry for all inconvenience this could cause you.
Finally this was not really well implemented. I reverted back to previous setup.

It was something I always wanted to see…
Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna repos merged their packages in new repository RPM fusion.
This will give single point of distribution for many software packages and the end user will benefit more.
There you will find packages for Fedora and RHEL both free and nonfreee.
Here are installation instructions.
For the imaptient…
Grab and install those RPMs
Respectively for free and nonfree packages.
Enjoy 😉
