itunes has no updates bug

Friday, June 25th, 2010

I’ve heard reports, from people who want to upgrade their current iphone/itouch to iOS4, that they are getting a message about “no updates” even though they aren’t current yet.  Chances are, you need to upgrade your iTunes before the update you want will show up.  At least that’s what I’ve heard.  My 1st gen itouch isn’t in the running for ios4 anyways, and I haven’t heard a firm date for updating the iPads….

“..namedfork/rsrc” no such file or directory

You are running a perl script, on a mac, and you get this error, on a script that’s run without giving you that error before, eh?

I’m 99.99% sure the causer of your problem is that  you are accessing a file on a non HFS+ filesystem, like say an external USB drive, or perhaps a network share from a windows box.  That seemed to be the issue when I got it.  The lack of resource fork can be safely ignored for files on such filesystems.

If you are seeing the error on a proper mac-disk, I dunno what to tell you.  Hope you have good backups?

rhel vmware cloning minor-woes

if you clone a VM, you may see an error like

“Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring”

Simply edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script, and remove the HWADDR line, then restart networking ( /etc/init.d/network restart ).

That’s a warning, not an error

If you ever happen to be building python from source, and at the end of your make,  you notice a message along the lines of

“failed to find the necessary bits”

It’s only a warning about some apperantly optional modules; you should still go ahead and issue a “make test”, see how you feel then, before starting the hair-pulling.
