A Consuming Experience: Windows – no disk Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c – fixed!
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/05/17
Sometimes I get messages like the below No Disk error on virtual machines, mainly in Windows XP and lower, but sometimes in more recent Windows versions too.
---------------------------
Windows - No Disk
---------------------------
Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c
---------------------------
Cancel Try Again Continue
---------------------------
The 0xc0000013 is a No Disk Exception.
Every time the solution has been to uninstall the floppy drive device from the VM image.
I never had it on physical hardware, but for that, disabling all unused removable and USB disk devices seem to work.
Somehow, lots of software thinks it should scan ALL media, even the removable ones that might not have media inserted.

memories of the past: BitSavers.org just added a whole bunch CRAY documents
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/05/16
Nobody but very wealthy research institutions could afford CRAY machines.
They were the computing workhorse of their time. Now your smartphone is faster (:
BitSavers just added a bunch of CRAY documentation of the 1980s and early 1990s.

Relevant files for ssh-keygen – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/05/13
When working with SSH private/public keys (often because of ssh-keygen), and using DSA for auhtentication, these are the relevant files:
- $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa:
(on the local system)
The $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa file contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user. - $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub:
(on the local system)
The $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file contains the DSA public key for authentication when you are using the SSH protocol version 2. A user should copy its contents in the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the remote system where a user wants to log in using DSA authentication. - $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys:
(on the remote system)
The $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file contains authorized DSA public keys (each line is the contents of a $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file) of users on systems that are auhorized to login on the remote system.
Important:
Be sure to transfer the contents of the local $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file to the remote system in a secure way.

Mac OS X: editing ~/.bash_profile using TextEdit
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/05/10
Finder on your Mac by default does not show hidden files, and the console has vi, which lots of people find awkward to use.
There is an easy trick to open a hidden file like ~/.bash_profile (for instance to add an alias) with a visual text editor.
Just execute this in your terminal:
- Always with TextEdit
open -e ~/.bash_profile - For the default text editor (usually TextEdit)
open -t ~/.bash_profile - For a specific text editor (in this cast TextWrangler)
open -b com.barebones.textwrangler ~/.bash_profile
The man open(1) page has more information on the parameters you can pass to open.
