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

If not, please recompile OOo again with
LINGUAS="en" openoffice-bin

VMware Workstation 6.0.3-80004 and Linux 2.6.24 
Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 08:58 AM - VMware
VMware WS doesn't start anymore and gives the following error message after using the VMware-any-any-update-116:
process XXXX: Attempt to remove filter function 0xXXXXXXXX user data 0xXXXXXXX, but no such filter has been added
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace


I found there more then one solution but there was just one solution working for me. I had to start the 'hald'.
/etc/init.d/hald start

After starting it, the WMware WS starts perfectly :-).

User login didn't work anymore ;-D 
Sunday, March 9, 2008, 07:45 PM - Linux
Yesterday I wanted to change the permissions of the 'known_host' file in my (users) ssh directory.
Something went wrong, don't ask me what, but it was impossible to login with any users (root worked fine).
When I tried to login with one user (e.g. testuser) I got the message:
Unable to cd to '/home/testuser/'

I tried directly from the console and also via root's 'su' command, but nothing did the right job. After investigating a long time for searching via google, I found only one way to get it working again.

The problem was my permission on the whole system were wrong. I don't know how, but I changed unawares all my permissions on my system to 644, also the permission of the root directory ('/').
I changed it back to 755 (also the root directory rights) and after that the login was possible again.

:-)
