VMWare Server 1.0.3 on 2.6.22.5 (Slackware 12)

1. Install it by default way

automaticaly by rpm
or
install by script from tar.gz

2. Edit source module vmmon.tar

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
sudo tar -xvf vmmon.tar
cd vmmon-only
sudo vi include/compat_kernel.h

Find this:

#define __NR_compat_exit __NR_exit
static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code);

and change the static inline ..... line to:

int compat_exit(int exit_code);

Then tar up the vmmon-only directory again.

cd .. #go back to the source directory
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only

3. Replace source of module vmnet.tar (same folder with step 2) by

Download it from here

4. Add Script in "/etc/rc.M" (rc.M is script that's loaded when you use multiuser mode - M for "Multiuser")

# Start the vmware hardware setup
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware start
fi

5. Add Script in "/etc/rc.K" (rc.K is script that's loaded when you shutdown or change to single user mode - K for "Kill")

# Stop the vmware hardware setup
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware stop
fi

6. Run "vmware-config.pl" and follow the step until finish and successed

7. Run "vmware &"


That's all... Good Luck... :)
Come on smile....

Ref : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware

Shutdown PC but Power didn't turn off (Linux)

1. Try Check your kernel, did u have enable apm and acpi?

dmesg |grep apm
dmesg |grep acpi

If it's not enable, try to re-compile your kernel with apm and acpi enable


2. If still not work, try to append lilo in /etc/lilo.conf

append="acpi=force"
or
append="apm=power-off"

Try one of them.

Good Luck !!!

Three jump - the mostly used on IPTABLES

There's about 27 jump on IPTABLES. But only three jump that's usually used by firewall mostly.
They are ACCEPT, DROP, and REJECT.

ACCEPT - have function to allow packet if rule is true or accepted.
eg :
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
(this mean if destination packet is IP (192.168.0.2) and destination port is 22 and use protocol tcp, allow input packet)

DROP - have function to drop or reject packet (without acknowledge to sender) if rule is true or accepted.
eg :
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2 --dport 22 -j DROP
(this mean if destination packet is IP (192.168.0.2) and destination port is 22 and use protocol tcp, reject or drop input packet without acknowledge to sender)


REJECT - have function to drop or reject packet (with acknowledge to sender) if rule is true or accepted.
eg :
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2 --dport 22 -j REJECT
(this mean if destination packet is IP (192.168.0.2) and destination port is 22 and use protocol tcp, reject or drop input packet with acknowledge to sender)

That's all for today.

Please give me comment if I need to repair something or add something on it.

Thanks.

Shell's Command

I still learn about linux. This some of command that I know in linux's shell.
ls - listing
cd - change directory
mkdir - make directory
rmdir - remove directory
chmod - change permission mode TypeOfFile-owner-groups-others (ex: drwxr_xr_x)
chfn - change finger
usermod - change or add user attribute, for example: group
chown - change owner of file or directory
lspci - listing pci on pc
lsmod - listing module
ln - make link to a file or folder
cp - copy
mv - move or rename file
cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output
less - opposite of more
more - file perusal filter for crt viewing
grep
find
arp
ifconfig
iptables
ipchain
vmstat
etc...

So many syntax, Maybe u can find the rest. :)
You can see the manual by type "man <command>" or only need help just type "<command> -h" or "<command> --help ".

If u have question, u could ask by comment. I'll answer it if i could. So, we could learn together.
:D
