Linux

I’ve been having a lot of issues with older Yealink phones not working with pjsip and TLS. Keep getting busy, and end up setting taking the lazy road (and less secure), and setting old broken endpoints to use UDP instead. You can also downgrade the extension to SIP and sometimes TLS will work, but moving it to PJSIP just breaks it. For security sake, please set your phones behind a VPN if you’re going to register without TLS. I happen to be spending more time at the office lately and wanted to take my spare T46s up there to use, since I was on a Polycom VVX 310 or something (I can’t stand Polycom, I dont know why). When I happen to move my T46s over from home to the office, I had some free time and decided to fix it. ...

Building a custom iSCSI target server based on Debian Linux. Will it work?

It’s amazing how long Linux server can run if you don’t patch them.

Almost missed Texas Linux Fest this year! Last year it fell on a non-good weekend for me. I’m going to actually try and attend this year. Lots of good sponsors, and good speakers!

Considering Apple since I’m a Linux nerd.

Jeez, I keep forgetting to write about LinuxWorld.. First of all, sitting on a bed and using the laptop gets very uncomfortable after about 20 minutes in one position. The weather has been great here.. high 50’s at night and high 60’s in the daytime.. The conference has been great, got so much free stuff, im going to have to get a box for all this stuff and check it as baggage. HP Announced this morning that they’ll be selling linux laptops pre-installed with SUSE 9.1. I thought that was pretty neat. After two days of drawings, I have yet to win the Sharp Zarus. One more chance tomorrow.. Intel had a pretty cool party last night, they had a guy with a chainsaw doing an ice sculpture of an “intel inside” logo. ...

Made it to San Francisco this afternoon for Linux World. The weather is real nice, about 68 degrees right now.. The hotel is decent, but the wireless seems to be flaky, it’s acting like a linksys router or something.. every minute or so it drops me. I’ve got the same issues in linux and windows with both my broadcom b/g minipci and my orinoco gold.. so im using my orinoco with the externa mag mount antenna.. good thing i brought it, found another access point not owned by the hotel, which provides a much more stable connection, just a weak signal. ...

Linux access on the WRT54G – This is a mini Linux distribution for the Linksys wrt54g. In about 20 seconds, you can install a small set of Linux tools to your access point’s ramdisk. Thanks Metlhed

Been working on a side project. It’s finished pretty much. PortageView. Its sorta a searchable database of portage. Works nice. and its Fast. Saw Type-O Negative in concert last night. It was a great concert, except the club it was at had a lot of audio problems and Peter was getting pissed off. But what can you expect from a 25 year old club that has no working A/C.

I just set up this Logitech MX700/MX500 howto for linux and xfree 4.2/4.3. I figured I’d blog it so google would catch it and then people could find it. This quick reference should be fine for setup on all linux distro’s as it is not distro dependent. Just for grins I am doing this on Gentoo.Also, this should work perfectly on the mx500 also. I have not tested it ’cause I don’t have one, but from what I hear, they are the same mouse. ...
