vmwarefusion-lnc0error.jpg

An error of FreeBSD on VMware Fusion "lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer" was sometimes annoying me.

When bunch of this error stacks, virtual machine stacks too.After upgrading Fusion 3, it seems to run more stable, but this error still occurs.

I had been looking for solution to resolve this problem for several months and I found two solutions. The one is installing VMware tools and using vmxnet for Network interface, and another is editing .vmx file and add alternate NIC statement (e1000) in it.

VMware tools for fusion supports ony FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. Unfortunatelly I am using 6.2, so my environment was rejected by its installer.

I decieded to change NIC to e1000, and as a result it runs without problems.

Lightobox2 can't work on area tag as default.

To solve this problem, it needs replace imageLink.rel with Element.readAttribute($(imageLink),"rel") in prototype.js.

Detail:
insert the line below in line 194.

if (!target.rel) target.rel=Element.readAttribute($(target), "rel");

Apple released MacOSX new version 10.6, code name "Snow Leopard".

Refined 64bit support and Grand Central Dispatch apparently make user experience faster than ever.

It is worth to upgrade if you use 64bit cpu. Even if your CPU is core solo or core duo, it is better to install Snow Leopard.

I did forget that rsync with --delete option deleted data in the backup directory while rsync is building first index.

After I reconstructed my backup RAID on the server in my local network, I executed rsync --delete then it deleted all backup data. It was too late when I was aware of it.

It is better to do it with --dry-run when you rsync at first time.

After installing php5 from ports, php error said "preg_match" was undefined.

This is because I forgot check install option "PCRE" while making port. Just make clean, rmconfig, and reinstall with PCRE, then restart Apache.

Errors occured while compiling autoconf-2.62 of FreeBSD ports,

"autoconf-2.62.texi:1723: Unknown command `'.".

To solve this problem, remove old version of makeinfo from /usr/bin/makeinfo, and install new version of makeinfo by installing textinfo from ports (/usr/ports/print/textinfo).

Safari4 public beta released.

This version fixed the problem which affected other applications (like "Save As" problem of Mail.app), and improved loading speed.

Users of previous version can install from Software Update.

Google mobile lists both PC site and Mobile site in same result list. And its wireless transcoder tries to transcode PC site for mobile device.

To avoid it and redirect to mobile site from the URL in search results, just add a link tag in head tag of PC site.

<link rel="alternate" media="handheld" href="alternate_page.htm" />

Just note a tip to skip SSL pass phrase on starting httpd.

# openssl rsa -in KEYFILE -out KEYFILE_EMBED

Every time I forget when I install SSL certificate.
