HP Compaq 6910p crashing on lid close

September 11th, 2008

ACPI appears to make the HP Compaq 6910p crash when you close the lid.

This appears to be easily resolved by setting /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS to 1.

 echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS

And you’re done. It stopped my laptop crashing anyway.

Configuring DRAC behind NAT

August 27th, 2008

Configuring a DRAC (Dell Remote Access Card) behind NAT is surprisingly simple, yet Google fails to yield any useful results.

All that needs doing is to forward the following ports (TCP Only) to the DRAC card:

  • 80
  • 443
  • 5900
  • 5901
  • 5902

If you find that ports 80 and 443 are already mapped to an existing server, you can forward different ports (i.e. 81 and 444) however the DRAC card must be configured with these ports. You cannot forward an external port 444 to an internal port 443! The HTTP(s) ports can be changed from the Services section in the DRAC configuration menu. (Read as: System->Remote Access->Configuration->Services). I have not yet found a way of changing the last 3 ports.
It is worth noting that the last 3 ports are only required for the DRAC console. The web interface (without remote console access) is fine with just ports 80 and 443 forwarded.

O2 did an oopsie!

They accidentally made some of their customers’ MMS pictures available online, and indexable by Google!

You can view them using the Google cached versions!

Anyway, here’s one of them (with the mobile number attached):

O2 Oops!

Anyway, apart from her, it appears that all the other O2 users are mothers with young children. Boring really.

Enjoy!
