It is easier to use perl than sed to replace a string using perl.Try this.perl -pi -e ’s/existing_string/new_string/g’ file_name-Vigyan

If you are getting this error “TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name” in the Windows environment and you have checked sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files then most likely it is becuase of the wrong environment variable settings.The best way to find which tnsping.exe you are running is “where” command.c:> where tnspingIt will show you if you are using a wrong tnsping.-Vigyan

If you are getting this error, most likely it is due to your /etc/hosts entry.

Make sure you have:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
127.0.1.1       TESTSRV01.localdomain   TESTSRV01
The TESTSRV01 is my test machine name.

Just want to share..I noticed in one of my Mythtv box, I can not watch TV and mythtvbackend log shows following error.

ERROR when trying to delete file: myth://127.0.0.1:6543/1031_20090308215852.mpg

This error indicates that the metadata in the database exists for a non-existing recording. Well, the solution is to remove the data. There is a cool perl script myth.find_orphans.pl that can fix this problem for you. I use MythDora so for me, this file is /usr/share/doc/mythtv-docs-0.21/contrib/ location.

Try it if have similar issue.

I miss my favorite software Nero to burn CD/DVD but no worries, I found another cool software that works pretty well.

Here is what I found.

It is very easy.
