NFS V4 with root

/ Computer / ,

I followed this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo I set everything up as recommended. But I was unable to change the permissions. I was using sudo rsync -azv So, after a bit of googling I changed /etc/exports /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) The key was no_root_squash Then I could read and write as root.

A Static Route

/ Computer /

I added a separate router – a WRT310n V2 to my ASUS Zenbook in the office. I run Android Studio over a VNC connection. I was having trouble reaching it from my wired connection which is connected to my main wireless router. I ended up setting a static route to the ASUS Zenbook from my

MySQL with Docker

/ Computer / ,

First, I pulled the image ‘docker pull mysql’ that was the last easy thing I did. I wanted to use my own my.cnf file. So put it in /my/custom and used: ‘-v /my/custom:/etc/mysql’. I pulled a highly optimized one off github: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rhtyd/d59078be4dc88123104e/raw/12d79310970e21604480c41d0c34813e6946be44/my.cnf I had to comment a lot out as many options are deprecated #datadir

Ubuntu 19.10

/ Computer /

It’s just a few days away. Oct. 17th is the day. I’ll be running Lubuntu. That’s Ubuntu with a LXQt desktop. It’s super light-weight which is great for my MacBook Airs. They have 2GB of RAM, an I5 and a 64GB SSD. So Lubuntu is a good choice. I have installed the beta in a

Another New Wireless Router

/ Computer /

I installed a new wireless router for this website. I bought it on e-Bay. It runs DD-WRT too like the old one except that it runs a more recent version. The newer version is not susceptable to the ‘heartbleed’ vulnerability like the old one was and is configured as a ‘repeater-bridge’ too. I was able

MySQL Workbench 19.04 Hack

/ Computer / ,

Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) does not have a package for MySQL Workbench. It was difficult to build from source. I don’t even remember what I did. But once I built it, I saved the source tree in a zipfile. Then in the build directory, wb-build, I copied the Makefile to Makefile.install. I removed any dependencies
