Please pardon our dust (please order by email or phone!) as we reimplement portions of our eCommerce engine to use the new updated Satchmo Release, 0.7 (we are using SVN trunk).

Previously, we were on the Satchmo 0.6 release (and we implemented the TrustCommerce payment engine for the project, for that release).

We hope to have the eCommerce signup capability back up and fully functional within a short time.

In the meantime, we can accept your orders and support emails through our usual email and phone channels.

Networking – Kernel based Virtual Machine

Posted from Flock – let’s see if this works in real life.

Blogged with Flock

Here are the parameters Debian is installed with:

Language, KB, etc: English/US
Time zone: Pacific
Disk Space: 25GB on hda
Swap space: 2GB on hdd, *separate* from the main instance

Network NIC binding

apt-get update
apt-get -y install ssh

Now ssh to your new Debian install to double-check it.

#wget static.librehost.com/xrdp_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
wget static.librehost.com/install/xrdp.tgz
apt-get -y install libssl-dev libpam0g-dev make gcc mc slocate ntp
tar zxf xrdp.tgz
cd xrdp-0.4.0
make
make install
cp instfiles/xrdp_control.sh /etc/init.d/
update-rc.d xrdp_control.sh defaults
apt-get -y install fluxbox tightvncserver xfonts-base xterm
wget static.librehost.com/install/startwm.sh
cp startwm.sh /usr/local/xrdp/startwm.sh

Now reboot your Debian to check the rdp accessibility!

cd
vi noblank.sh

Now cut&paste this into noblank.sh:

#!/bin/sh
fg=green
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty1
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty2
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty3
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty4
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty5
setterm -blank 0 -foreground $fg -inversescreen on > /dev/tty6
ls -l # fill up the screen with green!

Now save (:wq) and install it:

cp noblank.sh /etc/init.d/
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/noblank.sh
update-rc.d noblank.sh defaults 80

Still to do:
vga logo
webmin or generally accepted FLOSS equivalent thereof
