Permission Denied "mount -t cifs"

On few occasions, while trying to mount a shared folder from windows to linux, using mount -t cifs options, we would have come across a common error that is, "error 13 Permission Denied". This problem is not anyway related to CIFS as most of them thought. This is the problem with the Windows shared folder access. If NETBIOS is disable in Network properties, the CIFS cannot mount the drive, since the permission would be denied while accessing. The solution is provided in microsoft support site.

Happy mounting... :)

Google TV and DLNA

"One of the key features of Google TV is that the Google TV Search also looks at local network sources for content. Say you search for Batman. It will display results from any configured DLNA server with the other results as well. It could be a great feature if it wasn’t dependent on DLNA servers.

Configuring DLNA server is for the dogs. They rarely work as well as advertised and often fail because of silly things like installed codecs, remote transcoding, supported file types, the server’s processing power, and so much more. Then when they work, good luck trying to change the displayed file structure on the client.

Instead, Google TV should have a bit of local storage and the ability to browse the local network as a computer rather than a media streamer. Installation would then be a non-issue. Plug it in and the Google TV would have access to the shared content rather than relying on haphazard DLNA servers.

Perhaps if either of the launch Google TV devices shipped with a DLNA server, it wouldn’t be as big of a deal. Instead, owners are forced to bring their own to the party, which requires a bunch of trial and error installing and Google’n until one that works is found. It’s a mess."

Adding to the above, in recent past the DLNA server has emerged as competitive home networking solution. In proof of that, Microsoft's recent breakthrough os Windows 7 have come with built in DLNA solution which is incorporated inside Windows Media player itself. Also Sony laptops, Samsung Galaxy S phone, LG optimus etc. These devices come with DLNA solution that can act as DLNA sever for Google TV. Many open source solutions also available for DLNA for example one like http://elinux.org/DLNA_Open_Source_Projects. So in the near future we can imagine homes becoming digitized with Google TV and DLNA solution.

Google and Buzz togeather...

Google can enhance the gtalk users experience to another level by including the Buzz notification icon in the gtalk application. This may help the buzz'ing community to keep track of the latest buzz. Also can include a follow option in the popup menu showed when the mouse is placed over user id. It may help the user to follow the user on Buzz on the go. This may promote buzz , since it does'nt require user to login to gmail to always see the recent Buzz.

Windows 7 Wallet Application

Windows 7 operating system may be enhanced by having a built in "Wallet" application, that can maintain the user bank account details, as well as the website login credentials. Since day by day the username and passwords for the user to remember goes more. It can be helpfull, if such built in application is there. This application should be able to integerate itself with any browser. By default Internet Explorer 9 should come with Add-on that communicates with the application based on user preference to login automatically. This can avoid some internet worms that keep track of user credentials by key strokes.

Eclipse 3.1 and ClearCase 7

com.rational.resourcemanagement.cmframework.CMConnectException: Cannot find Source Control tool information on this machine. at com.rational.resourcemanagement.cmframework.ProviderMgr.attach(ProviderMgr.java:108) at com.rational.clearcase.RSCMService.initialize(RSCMService.java:1836) at com.rational.clearcase.RSCMService.startClearCaseMode(RSCMService.java:4656) at com.rational.resourcemanagement.cmcommands.ConnectToClearCaseCommand$1.run(ConnectToClearCaseCommand.java:142) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)
 

Whenever you come across such errors, ClearCase 7 does'nt connect to Eclipse. The easy solution is to reinstall the ClearCase. This will make the Eclipse to connect to ClearCase. Most of the time this issue comes when we try to connect Eclipse 3.1 with ClearCase 7.

OpenVPN

TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

 
This error occurs When a OpenVPN Server is enabled with TLS Authentication. In this case we need to check for the line
tls-auth ta.key 0 
line is enabled in the server config file. If its, then uncomment and try it. That should work. If it does'nt work in that case also then its the problem of your network Firewall. Please check with your System Administrator.
