nagstamon a Nagios Status Monitor November 24, 2008
Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Gentoo, Nagios, Programmtipps, Sysadmin , add a commentnagstamon is a Nagios Status Monitor and it’s development is inspired by the Nagios Checker plugin for Firefox (which I do like a lot - ask my colleagues :P) … anyways, nagstamon has one big advantage: it resides inside your system tray and therefore you don’t necessarily need to browse at websites all day long to have your Nagios Status always in sight ;)
I discovered nagstamon already some months ago while checking the Nagios Exchange feed and quickly wrote an ebuild - but then simply put forgot about nagstamon. Today I’ve seen bug #248121, being a request for nagstamon to be added to our Portage tree. There you are! ;)

VMware Workstation 6.5 November 16, 2008
Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Sysadmin, VMware , add a commentMal wieder ein Update, nach dem erstmal nichts mehr geht. Gut, nicht “nichts” mehr - nur kein Netzwerk in den virtuellen Maschinen.
* Virtual ethernet [ !!! ]
Nun gut, offensichtlich hat sich nicht nur der Installer geändert (gut, für “uns” bleibts bei emerge vmware-workstation ;) ), sondern auch die Netzwerkkonfiguration. Musste zuvor ein vmware-config.pl Script ausfgeführt werden, so gibt es nun eine GUI dafür. Problem: Die funktioniert erst, wenn $irgendeine Netzwerkkonfiguration vorhanden ist.
Nach der Installation oder Aktualisierung der VMware Workstation 6.5 ist die Datei /etc/vmware/networking erst einmal völlig leer, erst ein emerge –config vmware-workstation (ja da müssen zwei “-” hin, stehen hier auch - nur das Wordpress frisst die, Tipps willkommen) erstellt eine (völlig neue, unabhängig von jedweder bisherigen) Netzwerkkonfiguration. Diese gilt es dann im GUI anzupassen.
tobias@homer ~ $ sudo emerge –config vmware-workstation
Configuring pkg…
Network settings database seems to be invalid,configuring default settings
Configuring Bridged network vmnet0
Configuring hostonly network vmnet1, probing for unused subnet …
Configuring NAT network vmnet8, probing for unused subnet …
Configured default networks - Bridged, Hostonly, NAT
Über das Tab Edit -> Virtual Network Editor lässt sich selbiger nun öffen.
Achja, auch das Icon im Benachrichtigungsfeld taucht mit der Workstation 6.5 jetzt wieder bei mir auf :)

FOSDEM 2009 November 9, 2008
Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Gentoo , 4 commentsAt least I’ll try not to repeat this year’s “problems” we had with our FOSDEM attendance, simply put we had none because everything went wrong. Everyone was relying on someone doing something - and when we finally realized that things didn’t happen like they should we already were far behind the schedule and weren’t able to get at least a booth for FOSDEM 2008.
Hopefully this doesn’t happen again - at least I mailed our application for both a devroom and a booth today. I also cought my first volunteer - thanks Fabian ;) He agreed to be the one who’s responsible for our booth (if we get one). Responsible doesn’t mean that he has to be at the booth all the time while everyone else is having fun at the devroom - it’s just to make sure someone takes care and things just happen. And just in case we get our devroom I volunteered to care for our devroom, which will probably mean I’ll try to get speakers and interesting topics together and make a nice and interesting program out of these.
It’ll take about 3 weeks from now on until we get feedback from FOSDEM whether we’ll get the requested devroom and booth.
That being said, I’ll set up a Wikipage during next week which we can use to track who’s there and what needs to be done beforehand. Looking forward to an interesting weekend in Brussels and looking forward meeting you at FOSDEM!
PS: Who still knows what this picture is showing and where it was taken? (ok, I must admit this is for insiders *G* - or people taking a look at *very* old GWN’s)
(And just in case you didn’t notice already - FOSDEM is *not* taking place the last weekend in february this time, but on february 7th and 8th.)
