Cifs problem in Gentoo

Filed under: English, Linux — puthre @ 11:32 am

If you encounter the following error when you try to mount a cifs filesystem:
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

try to:
#emerge mount-cifs

I did not find any indications on the net that a separate package should be installed in order to use cifs.

Later Update: same problem in ubuntu, you need to install smbfs
#apt-get install smbfs

As I started to look at GWT and its related widgets, tutorials and utilities, I thought that it might be an idea to put the information together into a Wiki site. This way, GWTpedia.com was born. Everyone is free to edit.

Word generator

Filed under: English, Fun, Linux, Programming — puthre @ 5:47 pm

Here is a python script to generate words using Markov chains. The archive also contains some dictionaries (English, Romanian, Romanian names). This is similar with http://www.fourteenminutes.com/fun/words/ but you have the possibility to use your own word dictionaries.
