WeetHet - TiVo - DirecTV Remote control tricks: "OK, so you recorded a show and you want to move through the commercials a bit faster. You could us the fastforward button.
This takes some practice though. There is definitly an easier way to do it ... a little trick what ReplayTV owners have: the 30 seconds skip.
A little remote control trick allows us to 'reprogram' the goto-the-end button:
Start the TiVo and either watch live TV or watch some movie you recorded (Now Playing). The press the following keys o your remote:
Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select
The button will now perform a 30 seconds skip, each time when you press it."

LIRC on Gentoo is always screwed up
Why oh why is the current stable (0.8.5) build still messed up? Anyway, once again I have to use an unstable, this time because the build errors out with:
"cannot stat `./../lirc_dev/Module*.symvers': No such file or directory"
"cannot stat `./../lirc_dev/Module*.symvers': No such file or directory"

Replacing a degraded drive in a 3Ware Array Unit, and that crazy "u?" unit
Well THAT was annoying.. Last night I tried to replace a degraded drive in my array and it was not as simple as I had previously observed. Here's what the array looked like before replacing the drive:
> /c6 show
Unit UnitType Status %RCmpl %V/I/M Stripe Size(GB) Cache AVrfy

p7 DEGRADED u0 931.51 GB SATA 7 - WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0
Note the drive isn't actually failed.
Next I pulled the drive, and loaded the replacement. Here's what tw_cli showed now:
# tw_cli /c6 show

p7 OK u? 931.51 GB SATA 7 - WDC WD10EVDS-63U8B0
What does "u?" mean in the Unit column? It means that the controller is going to refuse to use it...
# tw_cli maint rebuild c6 u0 p7
The following drive(s) cannot be used [7].
Error: (CLI:144) Invalid drive(s) specified.
After hours of surfing the web, I never found a solution, but I didn't figure it out. Since the original drive didn't outright fail, I decide to swap it BACK IN, and then forcefully remove it from the array, and then replace it.
# tw_cli /c6/p7 remove
Removing /c6/p7 will take the disk offline.

Ah, now that's better, it's no longer showing that "u?" in the Unit column.
Next I forced the rebuild using the new drive:

Smart Folders not working in Thunderbird? Try this...
To fix this: go to the profile directory, and find the mail\smart mailboxes directory. while TB is down, delete this directory (or just rename it if you are afraid you might lose stuff). Restart TB and everything works!

You could put options in conf, comma in end means fallback to default if earlier options don't work.

Synergy+ , keyboard wouldn't work
Well, I bought a MacBook Pro, and except for the god aweful price, I love it so far. Now I have a work system running XP & Vista, and while I do have a KVM I knew about this software called Synergy+, an update of an older software called Synergy. Anyways, installed it, and the mouse worked across machines, but the keyboard just would not work *except* for the Apple key (whatever it's called)... after a quick bit of searching I found some people were installing SynergyKM or other software to fix this issue. This led me to wonder what really this extra software might be doing, and then I found the following in the Synergy+ code:
LOG((CLOG_ERR "Synergy server requires accessibility API enabled. Please check the option for \"Enable access for assistive devices\" in the Universal Access System Preferences panel. Unintentional key-replication will occur until this is fixed."));
Ah ha! I only have Accessibility turned on for my mouse. Turned on for Keyboard and everything works. It's great.

Installed Versions:
vmware-server 2.0.1.156745-r3
vmware-modules 1.0.0.24
vmware-vix 1.6.2.156745-r2

Error: The specified service provider was not found
Any suggestions how i can fix this problem?
VMware Communities: vmrun - Error: The specified service ...: "The problems seem to stem from the fact that you don't have the 'vix.libdir' setting in your global configuration file. Usually this is set in /etc/vmware/config by having a line like:
vix.libdir = '/opt/vmware/vix/lib'
If you add this, vmrun should start working."

How To Resize RAID Partitions (Shrink & Grow) (Software RAID) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
How To Resize RAID Partitions (Shrink & Grow) (Software RAID) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials: "2.2 Growing An Intact Array
Boot into your rescue system and activate all needed modules:
modprobe md
modprobe linear
modprobe multipath
modprobe raid0
modprobe raid1
modprobe raid5
modprobe raid6
modprobe raid10
Then activate your RAID arrays:
cp /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf_orig
mdadm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
mdadm -A --scan
Now we can grow /dev/md2 as follows:
mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --size=max
--size=max means the largest possible value. You can as well specify a size in KiBytes (see previous chapter)."

Some useful WRT610n notes, but you don't need TFTP as there's a way to put the router into Management Mode where you can upload the original Linksys FW.

30-30-30 reset for Linksys WRT610n v2 got me out of a jam while loading DD-WRT... up and running great now!
1. DO A HARD RESET *BEFORE AND AFTER* YOU FLASH FIRMWARE. This does not mean hitting the reset button and saying you are done. This means doing the 30-30-30 reset. To do a 30-30-30 reset you must push the reset button with your router powered on. Hold it for 30 seconds with the router powered on. STILL holding it, pull the power cord for 30 seconds. Still holding it, plug the router back in. You will have held the button for a full 90 seconds without releasing it.

27-inch iMac gets another display firmware update, everyone else gets minor iTunes update -- Engadget
One of those *minor* iTunes updates is a few sync issues, one of which has now dropped my sync of over 30 minutes down to 5 or so *seconds*. Glad my syncs are fast now, of course I wonder if it's really syncing fully now....
