freenx on Debian etch, IBM Power5 ppc64

There is still no package in the repos for freenx unlike OpenSUSE. You can retrieve the sources from here (thanks to Fabian Franz for the pointer!):

http://kern.nl/freenx/nx_2.1.0dol1.tar.gz
http://kern.nl/freenx/freenx_0.6.0dol1.tar.gz

You can download additional packages (source code) (e.g. for nxagent, nxauth) not included in the previous tgz from here:

http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php

For consistency's sake, I packaged all sources (sans Fabian's) that I have downloaded but I cannot assure you that they are the latest stable (as of this time). I've done a lot of minor tweaks. It will be cumbersome to document them. Post your questions here if you encounter a problem.

After the installation and configuration, I got this error in the client (version 2.x):
NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 1.5.0-60 OS (GPL)
NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1.
NX> 105 NX> 596 Session startup failed.
NX> 1006 Session status: closed


The possible fixes are documented in this wiki. But apparently the error in my case is something related to a missing shared library being used by nxagent. Make sure you check that all libraries are resolved using the command ldd /usr/NX/bin/nxagent and fulfill the missings. Also make sure that you are using the most updated node.conf using the command nxloadconfig --userconf.

Resetting admin password in IBM System p5 510 Express ASMI

These are the steps in resetting the admin password: 0. Re-route stored static in your body via an ESD wrist strap to a metallic element. 1. Look for the 2 toggle switches and service processor batt. The batt should be in front of the Power Supply 1 and Power Supply 2 (codes: E1 and E2, see Rear Location Codes on the cover plate). The "very tiny" toggle switches should be in the area of P1-C14 slot. I forgot the exact sequence but it should be a combination of the ff. step (2): 2. Remove the battery, toggle the switches to the opposite direction. Allows some time for the caps to discharge. 3. Move back the toggle switches and put back the batt in its place. 4. Assign your PC to Class C subnet (i.e. masked 255.255.255.0 ): IPaddr: 192.168.2.x for HMC1 or IPaddr: 192.168.3.x for HMC2 5. Ping HMC1 or HMC2. Access the web interface using the default address: http://192.168.2.147 (for HMC1) or http://192.168.3.147 (for HMC2) Note: Sometimes you have to force the https protocol:

ld: unrecognized option '--hash-style=both'

gcc -Wl,-Map=contiki.map,-export-dynamic testv6.co obj_linux-native/socketdev_listener.o \ contiki-linux-native.a -o testv6.linux-native /usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--hash-style=both' /usr/local/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If you look closely, the error is something related to the local gcc not using the host's linker (ld). $ which gcc /usr/bin/gcc $ which ld /usr/local/bin/ld For some reason, I messed my compiler path. To synchronized gcc to use the host's dynamic linker (i.e. /usr/bin/ld ), set the environment variable COMPILER_PATH to /usr/bin . $ export COMPILER_PATH=/usr/bin $ echo $COMPILER_PATH /usr/bin $ gcc -print-prog-name=ld /usr/bin/ld
