Server restarts by itself randomly

hypermount — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:50:44 +0800

We have this issue with a server running on OpenSuse linux OS. Everytime when clients connected to it, the problem will arise (not intermittently but randomly).

When we let it run by itself, there's no problem of restarting.

Hardware wise - there shouldn't be a problem as we've checked them all.

Advise please?

Hi..can anyone help me. Tried the search function but I think it warrants me a new thread.

1. First time login -> log into the windows, userinit.exe error message pop up, and icons, taskbar all gone - basically render my pc unusable.

2. Repair the Windows with recovery cd..

3. Then can log in, can use my pc already but I still get the pop up error message.

Defintely some virus, malware inspection. I'm doing some cleaning process.

NOKIA N78 vs SONY ERICSSON C702

hypermount — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:28:19 +0800

why the hype over symbian OS? AP set for both not much difference in price.

Would you choose C702 over N78?

Pros againts N78 - C702 feels hell more durable, conservative SE outlook, camera lens cover.

Pros against C702 - N78 got wifi, Symbian OS?, looks a BIT better, xenon flash

Both have 3.2 MP camera, 3G HSDPA capability, AGPS, small rice sized keypads, pictures quality almost the same (tested)

Explosion at a NGV station 8/11/08

hypermount — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 07:25:58 +0800

Confirmed - the victim used a cooking gas (LPG tank) to store CNG (compressed natural gas for NGV ) which requires high pressure tanks for storage.

NGV is still SAFE... people need to be educated about this.

MALACCA, Sat:

A trader died after his van exploded while he was filling up his modified NGV tank at the petrol station at Jalan Datuk Seri Md Zin Abd Ghani, Batu Berendam, here, on Friday night.
In the incident which occurred about 7.51pm, the dead victim, identified as Mohd Hilmi Ishak, 25, was in the midst of filling up his van, a Toyota Hiace, when the modified NGV tank exploded.

Mohd Hilmi is believed to have modified a cooking gas cylinder and turned it into the NGV storage tank for his vehicle.

Two other victims, Mohd Hilmi's brother Mohd Rosli, 30, and a friend identified as Razali Md Zin, 31, who were also in the van at the time of explosion, sustained serious injuries and are warded at the Malacca Hospital.

Jalan Kubu Fire and Rescue Services Department operations chief Commander Mokhtar Osman said initial investigations revealed that Mohd Hilmi was seated in the driver's seat of the van when the explosion occurred.
"Upon a close inspection at the van, we believe that Mohd Hilmi modified the cooking gas cylinder himself; it was converted into a NGV tank and placed under the driver's seat, covered with a piece of canvas.

Mohd Hilmi, who was still alive immediately after the explosion was rushed to the Malacca Hospital but died five hours later.

Mokhtar said investigations also revealed that Mohd Hilmi was driving his van with his brother and friend towards the Malacca Town, when they stopped to fill up the vehicle with NGV.

"Mohd Hilmi had attached the hose to the tank and the trio were waiting for the gas tank to fill up when the tank exploded and the whole van burst into flames. The modified cooking gas cylinder was shattered beyond recognition.

"The mishap is believed to have been triggered by the heat from the engine which had been kept running at the time of incident," he said.

Mokhtar said the Jalan Kubu Fire and Rescue Services Department received a distress call on the explosion about 8.11pm and a team of seven men on a fire engine was dispatched to the area immediately.

WTS: Super strong Hi Temp Neodymium disc magnet

hypermount — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:08:10 +0800

Item(s): High temperature graded Neodymium disc magnet - grade N42SH - suitable for oil filter and universal application.

Price: RM30 per piece + 6 shipping, discount will be given for multiple items

Dealing method: Maybank2u and others, poslaju

Contact method/details: PM, SMS or CALL 016-6466995

Age of item: New

---

Size: similar to 10 sen coin, nearly 1''. About quarter inch thick.

Materials: Triple plated with Zink Neodymium magnet.

Strength : Pulling power is more than 13kg rated!

Special characteristic : Can be heated up to 150°C without losing its magnetism due to SH rating. Much Stronger than FilterDot (but FilterDot's magnet is encased in metal casing and resin for protection). Had a hard time to separate these magnets stacking up together (nearly got panic hehe) and be Warned!, it can snap and injure your fingers. Buy more than 1 to see and experience yourself! Separators will be provided for multiple items purchase. Satisfaction guaranteed!!

From Wikipedia:
Why can't we use other magnets?!

QUOTE

Neodymium magnets are very strong relative to their mass, but are also mechanically fragile. Like other ferromagnetic materials, neodymium magnets lose their magnetism above a temperature known as the Curie point. But the most powerful grades lose their magnetism at a relatively low temperature: 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit) and above. High-temperature grades will operate at up to 200 and even 230°C.

The grade of the neodymium magnet is N42SH which is very strong. The higher the number, the stronger the pulling power of the magnet. Most other neodymium magnets have only NXX without the SH rating. SH stands for Super High temperature and that means it can be heated up to 150°C without losing any magnetic power. Normal neo magnets (like our hard disk magnet) will begin to lose their magnetism at 80°C which is our operating engine oil temperature.

Any engine will produce some sub-micronic metal shavings or particulates.

Sub-micronic finely distributed iron particles act as a co-catalysts in oxidation of petroleum molecules.

Removal of these fine iron particles from oil circulation, reduces the oxidation rate and therefore extends lubricant service life and reduce the engine's wear and tear rate.

Most of our engine parts still contain ferrous materials. You'll be surprised to see the amount of metal shavings attracted to the magnet. This drain llug will attract small metal particles that are floating within the engineoil and prevent them from causing harmful damages. It will help to keep the oil clean and prolong the life of the engine.

Suitable for:

All Protons (with Campro and Mitsu engines), Audi (pls state ur model), Chevrolet (Daewoo), Ford (pls state ur model), Holden, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, Jaguar V8, Jeep (pls state ur model), Kia, Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes (pls state ur model), Mini Cooper, Mitsubishi, Saab, Volkswagen (pls state ur model), BMW, Daihatsu (Perodua), Lexus, Nissan, Toyota.

Savvy 73WHP / around 85-90BHP - only intake and exhaust modded.
[youtube]bNskOLuxlJU[/youtube]

Taken from Savoc.net

QUOTE

Just to share... when the Article from DRIVEN Magazine Issue 05 Page 73 praised Savvy about its R&H and being posted on AW forum by forummer, Savvy being bashed upside down by bashers (as usual lah) regarding the integrity of the Author. The Author from the DRIVEN magazine later counter post to clear the air (copy & paste from AW)

During the flag off for the Speedball which was at around 10am we were
presented with some administration problems from our office. 3 guys had
to stay behind. That was I, the photographer and Jeff. We all had our
allocated seats in a nice Perdana and a Mercedes E280. By around 1 pm our
admin problems were not sorted out yet and we were further delayed cos it
was lunch time. So the other participants from the other two cars had to
leave. By this time most of the participants were already having their
lunch in the Gopeng/Kampar area.

By around 3pm I had to let Jeff go since he was also our event co-
ordinator. But there were no cars left. And the paper work on his 4x4 was
not sorted out let alone fit to run in this event. Without thinking we
had to borrow 2 cars from Proton Berhad since they were the Emergency and
Technical support. We had asked for a Perdana V6, the thought of driving
a Savvy for 2400+km, man that's crazy! So can you imagine our reactions
when they presented us with a Savvy? Our disappointment was obvious and I
had objected to the idea of driving 3 buff guys in a little car for
2400km. So for consolation they gave us 2 Savvys.

Not wasting anymore time Jeff proceeded leaving me and the photographer.

Were we bought up? No. As a new magazine we do not get much priviledge
from manufacturers. And if we were bought up they would have given in to
our request which was a V6 that we wanted.

Why would anyone stay back till 7.30pm to drive to Bukit Kayu Hitam?
Again our admin problems were not sorted untill around 7pm. It is 456km
from KL to Bukit Kayu Hitam speed around 110-120km/h, add 2 stops for
petrol and pee 15 mins each that will take us roughly 5 1/2 hours to
reach. So latest we had to leave by 6pm. The border closes at 12am and
only reopens at 6am. If we had miss that the rest of the participants
would be 10 hours ahead of us. Which we would have missed the event and
not get our story which we had been working on for months. But we could
only leave at 7.30pm. If I remembered correctly by the time we passed
NKVE Damansara it was 7.40pm.

Pedal-to-the-metal. Yes I admit to speeding. Don't we all once in a
while. So be it and send me the summons, I will take full responsibility.

Prior to all that I think the abundance of adrenaline came from the Big
Mac, large fries large coke and a Power Root while we were sorting out
our paper work. Hey I'm not blaming our diet for speeding but if you had
taken that amount of fat and sugar it will take give you the same buzz
too.

So while we were trying to burn all that we were V-maxing at around 140-
150km/h. It was on a normal Thursday so traffic was low, so occasionally
we had an open highway to ourselves. We pushed our speed up after Rawang.
And we were flat out in the poor little car. It was a MT. I thought we
were going to blow the gear box the way we were shifting. But the car
kept going.

We had our driving lights on so slower traffic were curtious to us and
moved left almost immediately. When approaching traffic we did slow to
120km/h and when clear we let rip to 170km/h. There were cars who
would 'run' with us for no apparent reason but we just stayed at 170 for
a long period of time. And either they could not be bothered to keep up
with us of got tired of the speed they dropped off. All this speed we had
to have petol stops. We had 2 stops. One after the second toll after Ipoh
and the other just before Alor Star. Each stop took about 5 minutes not
more. We did hold off the pee, well we took turns. One would pump and
other pee. We wasted no time. And we were using Smart Tag so it helped a
lot.

When we did our second petrol stop before Alor Star it was around,
hmm...11pm (don't hold it against me guys I will check our receipts,
still have it). I thought we weren't going to make it and thought it
would have been a wasted trip. But we pushed on shifting gear after gear
driving the car like we just had just stolen it until we reached the
border. By the time we had purchased our Third party insurance for the
car, check through customs, we made it through the border at EXACTLY
12AM. While taking a breather at the Thai border, Peter( photographer),
who had kept real quiet in the car all the way, lit a cigarette and
starts swearing at me in Cantonese just like what POWERHAUS had said on
page 1, t** n** m* c****...next time YOU DRIVE LIKE THAT.... I can't
remember much after that.

We immediately called the other guys who were already in Hadyai and told
them, " hey we made it!" Only to get the respond, "...why so late?! We
already had dinner!".

So the rest of the way from the border into Hadyai we did kept it within
speed limit, rest assure.

Why the long story? Upon our return I had related my speeding experiences
with Jeff and he had related me his comfort experience about the Savvy.
It was that we, non Proton car owners (myself a Kembara and Jeff a Mit
4x4), had under estimated this car completely. We initially gawked at the
car when Proton gave us the keys but came back ranting and raving about
it.

We were hugely impressed with its ride and handling, which is obviously
the work of the Malaysian owned Lotus Engineering division, that had
given it its stability in high speeds and on windy roads. Especially the
windy pass after Ipoh toll...Boy that car can handle and the twisty
highway 4 from Phattalung into Krabi. Supportive seats and all. Hard but
supportive. All in all we came back home to KL thinking about getting
this car for our wives but secretly for ourselves. Why? because we had
liked the sporty-ness to it. Above it all it was in our budget.

A week after the event we were still talking about the car so we decided
to write an article on it. So the Savvy article came out in DRIVEN
unplanned and unintentionally. So sorry for those those offended by our
passionate auto journalism style but I would suggest that you guys stick
with foreign mags and wait for one day that you'll have the opportunity
to go out and purchase a 250K VW Gti or a super hot hatch from Vauxhall.
But for now the Savvy has our praises not because Proton lent it to us
but based on the fact that this little car did not let us down in this
event. That's why in the title we said The Proton Savvy- The little
engine that can.

Latest extract from AW responded by DRIVE101 from DRIVEN Magazine (another writer)

I'm Jeff the other writer on the article. Based on what we have read in
AW this forum is not a healthy one with the amount of P1 bashers. I too
have under estimated the car when the SAvvy was launched until we drove
one. The article speaks for itself. My job takes me into the jungle where
I have to organize 4x4 expeditions. My everyday car is my trusted
Mitsubishi Pajero. The Savvy is a serious contender for my wifes car.
What's stopping us from buying? Nothing.

But as for the forum we can't say much for these bashers. We don't know
who they are. The editor and I had to come in to see what the stink is
all about and to stand up for what we have written. And we stand by it.

We think the Savvy for this price is a good car.

The answer is no- we weren't paid by Proton.

DIY change crankshaft and camshaft oil seals

Anyone have experience with this job? Can we use everyday tool like flathead drivers. If it's not leaking I guess it's fine to leave it.

Kinda hard to pull out the pulleys first I think.

Do we need to set the timing belt tension using computer tool or by using hand only?
