  16. Mozilla bug? Fedora bug? Or PEBKAC?

    Date: 03/09/10 (Mozilla)    Keywords: css, linux

    The following was observed under Firefox 3.5.8, Fedora Core Linux. While coding a form, I created the following attached CSS rule:



    applied against the following (name= is obfuscated):

    (text here)


    (text here)



    (text here)




    The result should have been textarea, input, and select elements indented by 6em.

    Instead only input and select were indented. When I changed the rule to:

    p.explain  input,select,textarea

    only select and textarea were indented.

    It seems that no matter the tag order, the first comma 'd term is not indented.

    Questions:
    Am I just blind? Missing a CSS rule? Not seeing an obvious PEBKAC?

    OR
    Is this a Mozilla.org grade bug (I suck at searching Bugzilla), which should be filed with them,  or something I should report to the Fedora project and let them push it upstream? Or pull a fix downstream for that matter?

  17. Ping Issue

    Date: 01/11/10 (IT Professionals)    Keywords: linux

    I'm having issues with my network, the environment consists of windows, solaris, linux and mac. The issue seems to be, any machine that is connected to the wireless network is unable to access any other machine on the wireless network.

    Wireless machines can communicate with wired machines.
    Wired machines can communicate with wired and wireless machines
    Wireless machines can not communicate with wireless machines.

    I have a Cisco Aironet 130AG Series Access Point handling the wireless traffic and a cisco 2960 48 port switch handling the wired network.

    What could cause this lack of communication?

  18. Consumer-grade dual-home connection

    Date: 12/30/09 (IT Professionals)    Keywords: linux

    I may have posted about this before, I'm not sure, so please accept my advance apologies...

    At home, I currently run two DSL lines. Right now, we just have two separate LANs, one connected to each line, with my wife's devices attached to one, and my devices attached to the other. For a while now, I've been thinking about setting up a load-balancing routing solution to give both of us access to both lines.

    I have the opportunity to acquire a refurbed Cisco Catalyst 2960 at a ridiculously low price. I also have access to a (nominally) spare quad-core 64-bit PC with 8GB of RAM. I say "nominally" because I'm thinking about setting it up as a media center / gaming rig connected to the TV in the den. That's largely beside the point, but it bears pointing out that keeping the PC available for my other needs would be a good thing.

    So.

    Is it going to be a more-effective solution to drop a few bucks on the 2960 and go through the hassle of learning how to set it up (and then setting it up), or would I be better off putting a secured Linux distro (e.g. gentoo-hardened, or something) on the semi-spare PC and running the load-balancing via iproute2 and friends?

    Either way, I'm looking at a learning curve, and a good amount of time fannying around getting the damn thing working -- there's a good chance I'd spend almost as much cash on the PC-based solution getting good-quality network cards, and maybe fast HDD tech (though it seems like RAM and cores would be more important than disk IO).

    What are your opinions?

  19. OpenSolaris vs. Solaris

    Date: 12/17/09 (IT Professionals)    Keywords: software, linux

    I have some software that does some translation from UTF-8. In Solaris the product has always run fine, but in OpenSolaris I see an error:

    ld.so.1: someprogram: fata: relocation error: file someprogram: symbol_iconv_open: referenced symbol not found

    Now, from what I have found out is that Solaris used a system call called: _iconv_open
    and most Linux use a similar system call in libc called: iconv_open

    But apparently there is a slight difference between Solaris and OpenSolaris, which causes this issue.

    Does any have ANY knowledge of this? Somewhere I can look to confirm this hypothesis?

    Thanks

  20. Link Checking

    Date: 12/03/09 (IT Professionals)    Keywords: web, linux

    In my spare time I run two websites and they use joomla as I have a number of users who add content on a regular basis.

    So I am looking for a link checking program that identifies 404 links. I use Linux mainly, but would be open to something on Windows. Ideally I would like this to be able to run daily, and send an email, but what ever.

    Also, please, don't recommend a Joomla plugin. I have far too many plugins installed already.

    Thanks in advance.
