  • Xen: Failed to find an unused loop device

    I had to start a new Xen domU this afternoon, xm create vm#.domain But this resulted in following error: Error: Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Failed to find an unused loop device Solution: Create /etc/modprobe.d/local-loop.conf with this content: options loop max_loop=64 Turn off all DomUs, yes, bummer. You’ll need to reload the loop…

  • SugarCRM: issue saving locales

    SugarCRM (community edition; version 6.0.2) has been giving me a bunch of issues like being unable to change the locale settings (“Locales” under “Administration”) as well as “Display module icon as favicon” (“System Settings”). Changing the US format (yyyy/mm/dd) to EU (dd/mm/yyyy) and every other setting on that page wasn’t actually saved/remembered upon hitting save. Editing…

  • nginx + fastcgi PHP

    I recently migrated vm1 to nginx instead of lighttpd. Just for the sake of playing and testing around. As there’s a PHP page as well, I had to set up fastcgi with PHP. I mainly followed this tutorial to try to get PHP working. However, every PHP page I visited returned following error: No input…

  • VMware Server and kernel 2.6.33

    Trying to recompile the VMware Server 2.0.2 on kernel 2.6.33 I came upon these two errors: # uname -a Linux Sauron 2.6.33 #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 15:09:05 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux This is a Gentoo machine.

  • OpenVPN packet drops

    I recently started to notice following error messages on my openVPN server. ovpn-server[6306]: vpn.rootspirit.com/85.234.x.y:62068 MULTI: packet dropped due to output saturation (multi_process_incoming_tun) This basically means that the TUN or TAP interface is making more packets than the real (TCP) interface can handle. As I need to run OpenVPN using the TCP protocol (instead of the…

  • Linux gateway/router + unable to access certain (HTTPS) sites

    I’ve had an issue for a while, being unable to access certain websites such as https://fon.com, but also certain parts of the Apple, Fortis and Microsoft site, while other (https) websites worked fine. Running Wireshark I found that only about 5ish packets got transferred, and all other data to that website abruptly stopped. I’m using…

  • Brussels-Midi + iRail

    Apparently the NMBS/SNCB website now makes a difference between “Brussels-Midi” and “Brussels-Midi Eurostar”; same station, different track. Due to this change, iRail was no longer able to provide any scheduling information which included Brussels-Midi. I’ve made a quick and dirty work around (by including “+ Eurostar” in the drop down menu), solving this bug. However,…

  • OpenVPN & Windows 7

    There’s a great GUI out for OpenVPN & Windows, located here. However, this GUI includes an old OpenVPN, that is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The TUN/TAP driver will be blocked due to compatibility issues, and when trying to connect to a VPN, you’ll get an error along the lines of:…

  • Turning off Driver Signing in Windows 7

    To disable it, as administrator, open cmd.exe (win button + R -> cmd -> [enter]), and copy paste the following 2 lines: bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON Reboot, enjoy. No more annoying messages. 🙂
