SSHfs

SSHFS is a convient file system which runs over SSH

It is secure, Encrypted and allow for connection to any linux/unix system using SSH.

Being Encrypted it is somewhat slower than other methods but offers very easy setup

with no changes on the client side.

See standard Howto's for install proceedure which will include FUSE

Mount command is sshfs -o nonempty username@192.168.1.111:/directory /mount/mountpoint

SSHFS is supported by many utility disks including Clonezilla.

GUI Install on TrixBox

The YUM commands needed:

yum install kdebase
[the minimum you need to run x windows and kde]

yum install kdeutils (for ark)
[some useful utils especially ARK to help you deal with .tar,.bz2 and .gzip files]

yum install firefox
[a better browser than the built in one in kde]

yum install system-config*
[some graphical configuration utils. very useful]

yum install nedit
[a useful text editor]

yum install yum-utils
yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
yum install yum-plugin-protectbase
yum install yumex
[some yum utils and yumex, a graphical tool to manage your updates and installs]

system-config-display

This will fire up a basic x windows graphical shell and a util to setup the graphics card. Setup how you prefer. Keeping the screen size to 1024x786 and colours minimal will help reduce the impact on your server. Exit from the util will drop you back to a prompt.

X-windows will not run automatically after a reboot. To use KDE you will need to issue the 'startx' command. When you are done configuring/troubleshooting your trixbox select logout from the 'start??' menu. this will shutdown kde, xwindows and drop you back to a prompt.

Yumex is an especially useful tool as you can switch on/off repositories and install/uninstall centos/trixbox apps much more easily.

TURN X OFF WHEN DONE

ALWAYS LOG OUT

Asterisk - Flash

The Proper Way of Installing Flash In Ubuntu.

Adobe's Flash Player Installer is Horribly Glitched. This is a result of adobe being

unmotivated to support their own products in the linux world as they have little

commercial base for their pay products. Please wait for a few months while the

open source community develops a replacement product that works :)

Asterisk Music On Hold Volume Adjustments

mpg123 -s --rate 44100 --mono /src/mp3/fpm-sunshine.mp3 > fpm-sunshine.raw

sox -r 44100 -w -s -c 1 fpm-sunshine.raw -r 8000 -c 1 fpm-sunshine.wav

rm fpm-sunshine.raw

Repeat as you prefer for all the MP3 files you want to include.

You then have to edit the musiconhold.conf file in order to tell Asterisk to play those files instead of the standard MP3's:

sox -v to adust volume
