Today I learned that ssh will not work with public key access if the .ssh/authorized_keys file on the server is set to read by group/other. I chmod'd it 700 and it worked.

This warning will appear whenever a system has been reimaged, or ip has changed and you've previously connected to this device. To get around this warning simply run the sed command...


sed -i 12345d .ssh/known_hosts


where 12345 is the line number to be deleted

e.g.

In this instance, the bad host is saved at line 12 in .ssh/known_hosts

We can delete this line using a single sed statement

I wasn't able to run any gnome based program and was getting error in the .xsession-errors:

/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: undefined symbol: g_vfs_icon_get_type

So I checked the google and irc and found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/322763

objdump -T /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so|grep g_vfs_icon_get_type
0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000000 g_vfs_icon_get_type

I'm going to give blogging another shot. I find myself looking through text documents on how to do stuff on various systems all the time. So instead of just keeping them in a folder, I'll actually create content that's greppable for the world.

The site is looking slightly better than it did a little while ago. I still hate blogging.
