Podighai TV on Channellive

From Sep 2, 2009 - Makkal TV has been removed. Instead Podighai TV has been added. Actually it is nice to watch Podighai TV after along time. I never imagined that we will be getting Podighai TV in the US. To me Makkal TV also had a few good programs. Thanks to Channellive folks for getting this done.

Rainbow FM Live Online now - Enjoy

I like listening to Chennai's city live radio FM's. I like the ads and the tit bits, news, jokes in the middle. Instead of just listening to songs I feel it is more lively sometimes. Rainbow FM is from All India Radio. They have wonderful selection of songs . For some reason Suryan FM and Aahaa FM are off air. So Enjoy Rainbow FM for now.

You can listen at tunen.in or at tamilradios.com

Error during the configuration of the host: NFS Error: Unable to Mount filesystem The mount request was denied by the NFS server

You have a ReadyNAS and want to make use of the space for an ESX server. Great ..You create a share and want to add it to the ESX server datastore but you run into this error.







I got the same error and this is what I did to solve the problem.

  1. First make sure you have the latest firmware for your ReadyNAS. My version is 4.1.4
  2. Login to your ReadyNAS and check if the NFS protocol is enabled Under Services - Standard File Protocols
  3. Create a New Share and Edit the share properties for NFS. The Root privilege-enabled hosts - enter the IP of the Kernel of the ESX server
  4. To verify the ESX server can see this share issue this command on the ESX command line showmount -e "ipaddressof readynas box". The shares should be listed.
  5. If the share is listed, go to the Add Storage on the ESX server and choose NFS option. Enter the IP address of the ReadyNAS box and for the folder enter /sharename (remember the /) and give a name for the data store.

Now this should work. Leave your comments below.

NEWS - Chennai Passport Officer Arrested

I was shocked to see this news . I have seen this lady on TV a lot and have heard about her achievements in revolutionizing the Passport process in Tamilnadu by introducing online tracking system etc. But now looks like she is just another government officer who got hungry for money. Enna kodumai sir ithu.

Now You can play high quality SHOUTcast Radio streams over 3G or WiFi.

Blackberry Dekstop Manager software looking for 8830.msi

Recently one of my users tried to launch the blackberry desktop manager and was getting an error..see the below screen shot. The software was looking for the 8830.msi file and I could not find it in the system.




I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop manager and still the same error popped up. So I started my journey in finding this file on the internet. The user had a blackberry with verizon service. You can find 2 versions of the desktop manager software. One on blackberry's website and the other on Verizon website. I downloaded the Dektop manager from Verizon site and started the install. During the installation process I navigated to the following directory..see below..Ahh..I was able to to find the 8830.msi file.




As soon as the installation process is complete the installer deletes all the temp files including the 8830.msi setup file. . So I made a quick copy of this file. Now I launched the desktop manager and when it was looking for this particular file I pointed to the location and the error went away. Many people are facing this error and I thought writing this post may save some time for users searching a solution to this problem.

Few people may find this solution also useful - Message 28 of 29
