FEDORA-2011-2890

QLogic has new firmware updates out for their ql2400 and ql2500 devices, version 5.03.16!
They still won’t tell me (or anyone) what this update does, much less share the code. So, without further ado, here is my top ten list of things I think are hidden in the 5.03.16 firmware update:
- Jimmy Hoffa
- Copies of the ET Atari 2600 video game.
- Snakes. Lots and lots of snakes.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Stuxnet
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Styrofoam Packing Peanuts
- Vermeer’s “The Concert”
- Charlie Sheen
- The Holy Grail
Feel free to email all complaints and bugs to support@qlogic.com. While you’re at it, feel free to ask them why they are afraid to show the code for their device firmware to anyone.
For more information about this update please visit this website:
• https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F14/FEDORA-2011-2890.The order is reversed in the Software Update details:
10. Jimmy Hoffa 9. Copies of the ET Atari 2600 video game. 8. Snakes. Lots and lots of snakes. 7. High Fructose Corn Syrup 6. Stuxnet 5. Duke Nukem Forever 4. Styrofoam Packing Peanuts 3. Vermeer’s “The Concert” 2. Charlie Sheen 1. The Holy Grail
Ubuntu/Apache2/AWSTATS Browser/OS Data Missing
by dervish on Feb.22, 2011, under Linux
Edit awstats.*.conf in /etc/awstats and verify LogFormat equals 1, and not 4.
# Examples for Apache combined logs (following two examples are equivalent):
# LogFormat = 1
# LogFormat = “%host %other %logname %time1 %methodurl %code %bytesd %refererquot %uaquot”
#
# Example for IIS:
# LogFormat = 2
#
LogFormat=1
To regenerate information, rm *domain* from /var/lib/awstats. AWSTATS will then recreate all data in the access logs the next time the web forms are created.
