GPLPV Drivers 0.11.0.295

Posted on .

I spent the time to build the latest (as of 12th June 2011) drivers for Xen GPLPV seeing as the ones available at http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ are 8 months out of date.

I used the source code available at http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/win-pvdrivers, specifically the version tagged 0.11.0.295.

Built using defaults with the 7600.1 Windows SDK.

If you have the ATi Catalyst Control Center installed then you may have come accross hundreds if not thousands of event viewer records from “amdkmdag” with a single line of data “UVD Information”.

This is supposedly the graphics driver notifying you that a peice of video has not passed HDCP checks (read: DRM for video).

To disable this and suppress the messages, make the following registry change,

Or download and run this as a file to make the change.

Access Windows 7 admin shares from Linux

Posted on .

I was trying to access the administration shares (c$, admin$, etc.) from smbclient on a Debian/Squeeze machine and was being given:
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

If your Windows 7 workstation is on a domain, you won’t get this issue, however if it is on a workgroup then the following registry setting is required:

More information found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951016.

Downloading the following .reg file and running it on the workstation will make the above change.

Pinning a package example for Debian/Ubuntu

Posted on .

I wanted backuppc to install from unstable, so I added the following:

/etc/apt/preferences.d:

Quick explanation:
– Moving “squeeze” (my base installation) above 500 keeps it as priority default installation.
– Having unstable below 500 means it has lower priority of anything already installed.
– Then pinning backuppc package to the top so it’ll get installed with unstable.

Integrating DSPAM with Spamassassin

Posted on .

Postfix -> DSPAM -> Amavis/Spamassassin -> Postfix

Spamassassin can add scores depending on the DSPAM output by reading the headers that DSPAM adds.

These rules can be added to local.cf. They read confidence and result headers. Edit the scores to suit your setup.
