Asus eeepc 1005ha power supply problems
So I got the eeepc 1005ha-p, which is the model with bluetooth and the higher capacity battery and the higher quality camera. After a little tweaking, I got everything working with eeebuntu (installed the kubuntu-desktop packages so I'd have a usable desktop). This little bugger really impressed me, even though I had only had it for about a week.. I was very excited to take it on a trip to Indianapolis, when out of nowhere the power supply stopped working. It has a little blue light on it that shows when it has power. I tried changing power outlets, and even tested the AC portion of the cable with a voltmeter to make sure it was geting juice, and everything looked fine. I searched the web sites of all the electronics chains to see if there were any third party replacements for it, but it looked like it was just too new. I couldn't believe it, its only a 2.1 amp supply, its not like it gets hot and burns out or anything.. and it died when it wasn't even plugged into the netbook.
That sounded familiar. A long time ago, when laptops were new, I had a power adapter that would overheat some internal component if it was left plugged in without a load on it. It was really silly, but the "cure" was to stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes or so and try again. I figured it was worth a try, and if it didn't work I was going laptop-free on my trip.
Ten minutes later, I had a working charger again. Now, when I'm not plugged into the charger, I unplug it.
Evidently, this charger is used on several other newer eeepc models, like the 1008, which is also a Seashell model. If your power supply seems to have given up the ghost, try this method before you buy a new one. Mine has been fine for the last month at this point.
No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lockHere's a new one. Apache wouldn't restart on a server complaining thus: "No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock"
After some digging around with strace, I saw it was failing to create a semaphore. Evidently, Apache can leave semaphores around after its death, and can cause this mystery problem.
So how do you fix it?
Like this:
for IPC in $(ipcs -s | grep apache | awk '{print$2}'); do ipcrm -s $IPC; done How to convert audio files to gsm for Asterisk recordingsGenerally speaking, Asterisk likes its recordings to be in gsm format. You can convert these using the 'sox' application, which is available for most Linux distributions. sox [input file] -r 8000 [output file] resample -ql |
