Magento Downloader – No Extensions Listed
If you can’t see any packages or extensions listed in the Magento Connect Manager (Downloader), I might just have the fix for you. First thing I noticed was we didnt have pear installed (use this script to make sure your server is compatible). After I made sure the server was compatible, the extensions still weren’t listing. I found on this thread that you can enter the following:
…into the “Paste extension key to install:” box on the Downloader. It will populate the list.
DD-WRT TX Errors – 0% 0 OK
- Wireless – Wireless Security: Set to “disable” (Wifi signal will now be visible)
- Wireless – Basic Settings: Set “Wireless Mode” to “Client Bridge”. Save, then Apply. (Your internet will go down, manually load your routers address or you will just wait forever.)
- Wireless – Wireless Security: Set to “WPA2″ or whatever you had before (Wifi signal should still be visible)
Note: This problem returned a few days later, might be best to update the router if you have this problem.
Another note: This solution didn’t seem to help me the second time, but I set encryption to “WPA2 Personal – Mixed” and it came back to life.

Nagios SSL/Connection Issue Solved
On /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg, (remote server) comment out the following line:
- #allowed_hosts=
They say it ignores this config line if you use xinet.d, but they are totally wrong. I used to get the “Host <blah> is not allowed to talk to us!” error because of this.
The command I used to test the connection (on the host server) is:
- /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <remote_server_ip>

ListMessenger SMTP Error
I started receiving the following error after making some network changes:
How I fixed it: I set my ListMessenger to use PHPmail and then edited my php.ini file. In that file there is a setting for your smtp server, it was set to localhost. I changed it to our default smtp server and it worked again.
Why: I was fiddling around with network settings and managed to break something so that computers on the local network can’t access the server via it’s name, and apparently it can’t access itself by localhost. I’m not sure why this happened but I think it has something to do with VMWare network cards stealing priority and forcing IP’s that didn’t work.
Get Ventrilo to Work on the EEE PC (Sort-of)
1. Edit the file:
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini
2. And add the following line:
MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm
3. Next you need to get your hands on the windows file ‘msgsm32.acm’ from an existing windows partition (C:/WINDOWS/system32/msgsm32.acm) and copy it to ‘~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/’.
4. Run vent.
Note: When I transmit, I can usually only transmit until I let go of the talk key, then that’s broken for good. I can still receive audio the whole time though.

MSN Messenger Error 80048820
Correct your system date and time before logging on and it should stop this issue.
I had this problem because my CMOS battery isn’t working as well and my date/time resets after leaving the PC off for a while.
Fix MBR for an Old MS-DOS System
I accidentally installed grub and couldn’t figure out how to uninstall or override it with another boot loader. The others just weren’t working. Running fdisk /mbr didn’t work for me either. What I had to do was insert and boot the XP CD, then go to the repair console and type fixmbr. I just rebooted and it went straight into DOS like it was supposed to.
