Setting Up UMTS Modem (Huawei e270) :-b 
Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 10:14 AM - Linux
Ladies and gentlemen,

today I got my USB UMTS Modem (Huawei e270 / Provider Three.at) running. I tried a lot of tools also gui tools, but they are not working fine.
So I searched some how-to's to set a connection via PPP up. There were a lot of search results and all of them were different.
But I found a combined way to get it running.

Here is the little how-to:
*configure your kernel for usb and serial support (usbserial, hid, ohci/uhci/ehci and ppp-support)
*build your kernel and load the modules
*install ppp
*create the file
/etc/ppp/peers/internet
and modify it like the example below
hide-password
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/internet"
debug
115200
defaultroute
noipdefault
user "" #change this to your settings if not known, let it blank
remotename drei.at #change this to your settings
ipparam drei.at #change this to your settings
usepeerdns
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1

*create the file
/etc/chatscripts/internet
and modify it like the example below
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED
'' ATZ
OK-AT-OK "ATDP*99#"
CONNECT \d\c

*copy the following line modified to your settings into
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets

"" drei.at """"

*plugin the modem
*try to connect with
pppd call internet nodetach

*after dialing in you should have a connection called 'ppp0'

Enjoy mobile surfing!

If you want to burn a 'big' VideoDVD, like a backup rip of one of your film collection or something like this, you have to select a DataDVD in K3b and create the necessary folders (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS) by your own.

All standard DVD player should play the video than.

Gentoo: downgrade glibc 
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 10:25 AM - Linux
Downgrade didn't work. I update the whole system to testing.
I did something wrong I think and so I have to downgrade glibc.
In the Gentoo-wiki I found one how-to [1].

More, after testing...

Nagios - Reporting Tool 
Monday, April 14, 2008, 02:02 PM - Linux
The reporting tool NDOUtils and PNP works fine for the host reports but not for some other reports like availability.
So I wrote my own report script.
The script will be coming soon...
Nagios 3.0.1 is released now and it should support reporting via PDF and so on. I will try it. A short summary will be given beneath.
I got an answer but it's not an easy solution. You will find more informations in the link beneath.
I searched for a reporting tool for Nagios, which send me a monthly report in a pdf file via email.
It was success, I found two solutions, but they are external features which are not implemented in Nagios, so you have to script a little by yourn.

That was not my cause how to solve this topic, I want to find a plugin or add-on for Nagios.
After investigating sometime I found a 'whishlist' at Nagios Wiki. A tool which I want is already requested.
So I wrote an entry in the german Nagios Forum --> post.

I hope I will get an answer soon, to close this case with a nice solution.

There are 2 solutions for this case.
For the first step, when you are using KDE, please change the fonts in the control center from
Symbolic

.
Restart OOo now and you will see it will work ;-).

If not, please recompile OOo again with
