Storage networking is different

Storage is, well, permanent. If there’s an undetected error in your application session, your program might crash; if the incorrect data is written to a disk, it stays there indefinitely.

Upgrading to a newer Version of Ubuntu

Based on the fact, that Ubuntu 9.04 was announced today, it is a good idea to explain how to upgrade every Ubuntu Version using the command line.

  1. sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
  2. verify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
    to use LTS or Normal based on your preferences
  3. sudo do-release-upgrade

After that, follow the messages on the screen to upgrade your system to the newest Ubuntu Version.

Cacti: Passwords do not match, please retype.

With the message “Error: Passwords do not match, please retype.” Cacti tried to make my life horrible today, but not with me.

If you are running Cacti 0.8.7b (which is the standard version located in the Ubuntu repositories) you will be prompted with this error after editing a host using Firefox 3. The error is based on an auto complete bug within the form. There are two solutions to avoid the problem (which worked for me):

  1. Before saving all the settings you have to delete (if not in use) the value in the password field of the SNMPv3 settings and than switch back to your preferred method of fetching information.
  2. Apply the patch which was provided by RichardBronosky in the Cacti Forum solving the problem.
  3. The easiest way to apply this patch is to cd to your cacti directory and:
    1. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Verify the validity of the URI like this:

    Code:
    curl -L http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=14681

    2. If it looks like a safe patch, then apply it directly from that URI via curl:

    Code:
    curl -L http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=14681|patch -p1 -N
