I'd like to use Linux but...

I used another Linux to test so that I could narrow the scope of the issue.

You are a terribly ineffective troll, Jon.

Debian doesn't have good QA either, FYI.

just a guess, but maybe try dropping the iptables and/or turning off SElinux to get it working. i don't know what rhel defaults are, but it might be worth a check. semi-reliably seems weird.

No entries in iptables. How do you turn off SELinux?

reboot in default kernel

You are a terribly ineffective troll, Jon.

More effective than managing packages with rpm

reboot in default kernel

Already went that route too, thinking that the xen stuff was fucking up. Only one bootable kernel, tho, and I'm not about to get into building another.

It wouldn't be bad to have JBoss support, tho, since you get a free license for JON.

check /etc/selinux/config

can change it to SELINUX=permissive in the above file, or i think just run 'setenforce 0'

So instead of switching to a better OS (hello, Solaris?), I have to obtain two JBoss "licenses" (~ $5K/per) JUST to solve this issue, since RHEL 4 is our "standard platform".

lol tight-arse penny-pinching management

(mind, getting decent support from sun in 2008 is like pushing diarrhoea uphill)

It's not really that management is pinching the pennies. It's more my annoyance. Look, if y'r gonna pay for an app server, why the fuck not BUY a good one in the first place?

I've been managing Solaris/sparc for 11 years now, and the only real issue I've had with their support is that they don't have anyone who knows VNBU, even though they "support" it.

Ah okay, must just be hardware support that sucks then.

Microsoft bringing the lols

That's pretty funny, but what's funnier is that the original blog post thought is was some kind of genuine motivational video or something, and hated it for it. I think that would have made it better.

See what's on employees' laptops

I have a friend who works @ MS and I am gonna rickroll him with that like a thousand times.

VISTA GOTTA GET ME SOME

Fucking Pulseaudio.

which usb to serial adaptor is best

I created a load of logical partitions (on a new hdd) and installed Fedora 9. Not only did it wipe away ALL my logical partitions and create a single one, it put some raid shit all over the drive that I cannot get rid of. SOOO fucking angry right now.

Linux.
Fedora.
RedHat.

Dude, it's hard to have a lotta sympathy for you here.

Yes, yes I know, I just wanted to install it on ONE TINY PARTITION in order to have a play. But no, it had to destroy my fucking hard drive.

Cannot believe I now have to install VISTA in order to fix a problem that Linux created.

Wow I am so incredibly furious.

FIXED.

Fedora goes up my arse forever.

100 Uses of Vaseline

Ubuntu Hardy is a fucking disaster.

Er... in what way? I've got it on the Linux box - was going to net install debian, but debian refused to recognise my network card, so gave up on that idea - and I am neither happy nor unhappy with it, but then I don't do a great deal with it and don't have that much linux experience.

Though it did demand a reboot after some updates. And it does keep trying to give me updates, including for packages I don't have installed. Ahh, it's just like Windows, how reassuring...

Just waaaaaay too many bugs that get in the way. Still head and shoulders above Windows, but nowhere near as good as Gutsy or Feisty.

i've switched to fedora as the default ubuntu build doesn't scale down my processor when it's idle whereas the default fedora build does. and it was easier reskinning fedora than compiling in the required module in ubuntu.

didn't have a problem with volume manager, just choose the right install option and you're fine. selinux though = pita.

and two days ago my £ disappeared. and yesterday it came back.

Prob hold out for Insane Iguana or Jeering Jackal myself.

I hear that Kinky Kangaroo is going to have some way hep features tho.

This is beginning to sound like an awesome Saturday morning cartoon show.

I'd like to use Linux but...

I used the standard update-tool to update from Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron.
Near the end of the process it stopped doing anything.
Now it won't boot.
Good times. Guess I'll reinstall the whole damn thing. I won't really lose anything, so it's not that bad, but pretty damn disappointing nevertheless.

Fuck a Linux. RHELL amirite???

Last straw. Chucking Ubuntu completely and buying a mac. Will continue to be fucking useless until they get their shit together.

I'd like to use Linux but... it has decided to FORGET HOW TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET IT CAN'T BE THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT U MANAGED IT BEFORE FUCKING UBUNTU

you're joking, right? Autumn "MR UBUNTU" Almanac?? xp

no I'm not joking, so much is wrong with hardy that it's rapidly becoming unuseable.

Go back to Gutsy, for God's sake! I never even updated and my ride's been smoother than smooth.

Gutsy had the laptop lid closing problem which Hardy still has. Feisty was great but there's stuff it doesn't do very well. I have given up and am buying a mac.

I am stunned.

I am aggrieved.

although vista is seriously precisely 983279238749238749234 times worse so at least there's that.
