Exim configuration error in line 438 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "spam = debian-spamd:true" root@sh1:/etc/exim4# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config 2015-10-25 14:09:40 Exim configuration error in line 438 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "spam = debian-spamd:true" Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated The one stumped be for a bit but the solution - at least on a Debian based system - is to ensure you have installed 'exim4-daemon-heavy` instead of the light packages, aptitude install exim4-daemon-heavy .

Simple Linux Performance Script When deploying new virtual machines with different provides I like to do basic performance tests using built in utilities like `dd` and `bc`. I had a little script linux-benchmark.sh which I have now cleaned up and making it public. When run it will do basic test for HD, Internet and CPU and save it as a timestamped text file. Sample output: root@sh1:~# ./linux-benchmark.sh Please be patient, this might take a minute or so.

Work around to key tones not working in Linphone when connected through Freeswtich If you find that after dialing into any IVR your key presses are not registering, and you are connecting to a Freeswitch voip gateway it is likely due to this Bug: Telephone-event codec clock-rate mismatch (leads to DTMF issue) ; go 'Options > Settings > Codec' and move the 8000Hz codes up. A temporary work around is to change your codec priorities in Linphone to use one of the lower quality 8000Hz ones first. Comment or follow me @danielsokolows if this has helped you.

Creating a 'NS' record It's NOT possible - try setting u BIND instead or contacting the author to add support for it; I am creating this entry so that it would save hours of searching for others. The basic setup that should work is to point your domain dns servers to to 'ns1.yourdomain.com` where ns1 resolves to your servers IP, however because dnsmasq can not answer with a NS record and the process fails - that is my understanding based on my readings Comment or follow on twitter @danielsokolows .

Windows Insider won't updated So my 10162 insider windows edition is now expired, keeps restarting, telling me it will stop working and yet Windows Update says there is no updates. Search on the Internet found many with similar issues but none of the solutions worked, however the below did the trick for me Download the Windows 10 ISO Installation Mount the file by right clicking Enter one of the following Product Keys - Windows 10 build 10240 keys: Windows 10 Home build 10240 - TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99 Windows 10 Pro build 10240 - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 - NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 When the installation finishes ensure you are still part of the insider builds If this has helped you drop me a comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
