vmware: CD/DVD ROM drive is stuck in connecting mode
As the title says, if the CD/DVD device of your VM is stuck in connecting mode, one thing to try is to shutdown the vSphere client, and restarted it.
I found this solution from http://communities.vmware.com/message/1784438, and it worked for me.
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_decode()
This occurs on a FreeBSD server. According to this post[1], I need to install php5-xmlphp5-xml.
# whereis php5-xmlphp5-xml
php5-xml: /usr/ports/textproc/php5-xml
# portmaster textproc/php5-xml
...
# service apache22 restart

FreeBSD: Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_name()
I just setup Apache and PHP on FreeBSD 9, configured a vhost, then when I tried to access it, I got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_name() in /srv/www/sugaku.domain.com/inc/init.php on line 144
so apparently, the “session” support is missiong from php5 installation. To fix it, I need to install php5-session port.
Let’s do it.
# whereis php5-session
php5-session: /usr/ports/www/php5-session
portmaster www/php5-session
If the installation is successful, then we can restart apache.
# service apache22 restart
or
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart
That’s it.
CentOS: lsb_release: command not found
First let me declare that I’m new to CentOS. The folowing is a note to self which demonstrates how we search for a package that provides some commands and intall it using yum on CentOS.
When I ran ‘lsb_release -a’, the following message is returned:
-bash: lsb_release: command not found
To fix it, we need to install the package which provides lsb_release command.
# yum provides */lsb_release ... redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.i686 : LSB base libraries support for CentOS Repo : base Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/lsb_release redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 : LSB base libraries support for CentOS Repo : base Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/lsb_release dkms-2.2.0.3-2.el6.noarch : Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework Repo : epel Matched from: Filename : /usr/lib/dkms/lsb_release
So, let’s install redhat-lsb package:
# yum install redhat-lsb ... Transaction Summary ========================================================== Install 106 Package(s) Total download size: 86 M Installed size: 246 M Is this ok [y/N]: ...
Wow, the insalled size of 246 M? No, it’s not ok.
Update (6/01/14):
Corrected typo in this post, thanks to Shawn:

Fix missing icons and ugly theme in Evolution on Kubuntu 11.10
This how Evolution looks like on Kubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
To fix this, make sure this package is installed: “humanity-icon-theme”, then create $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = Humanity
Restart Evolution, and it should be fixed.
