I then ssh into my phone and checked the /Applications folder but couldn’t find Skype.app listed there.  I then looked in /var/mobile/Applications which is a bunch of folders with strings like 71A7E798-AAB8-4D3F-95B6-326E185FC25A.

Rather than spending the next 20 minutes using the CLI to browse these folders I fired up FileZilla to sftp into my phone, and browsed to /var/mobile/Applications and used the nice GUI to look through each folder.

All of the functional apps contained

Documents
Library
tmp
AppName.app
iTunesArtwork
iTunesMetadata.plist

I eventually found a few of the folders to only contain the following subfolders:

Documents
Library
tmp

Like any reasonable person I tried to backup the “71A7E798-AAB8-4D3F-95B6-326E185FC25A” style folders before deleting by moving to my local PC but that wasn’t working for some reason.  I still recommend trying it in case you mess anything up.

I removed the ones I found containing only documents, library, and tmp.  I then rebooted my phone and uncle paused Skype was gone.  Magic-ish.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing

‘/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup’

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary

Usually this is fixed by running:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I then found this post which applied to the generic kernel and indicated that I may be missing the kernel headers.  Since I am running VirtualBox in Ubuntu Server 9.04 I ran:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-14-server

and then

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Working again.

Stop the mysql service on both servers:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Setup a temporary directory in the home folder of your user on server2.  (This is because we don’t have root access remotely.)

mkdir ~/varlibmysql

On server1:

sudo rsync -axv –progress –stats /var/lib/mysql/ user@server2:~/varlibmysql/

On server2:

sudo rsync -axv –progress –stats ~/varlibmysql/ /var/lib/mysql/

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/

At this point if you try to start mysql, you will most likely see the following error:

error: ‘Access denied for user ‘debian-sys-maint’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)’

To fix this (on server2):

cd /etc/mysql

sudo mv debian.cnf debian.cnf.backup (creates a backup of your original)

On server1:

sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

(highlight and copy the contents of this file to your clipboard)

On server2:

sudo vim /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

press i on the keyboard to begin editing

paste clipboard into file

press Esc, type :wq and press Enter

Start the SQL service on server2:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

And you’re all set…

Why are you sat? Why do you go to bed so early? I got up at a respectable time this morning and drove to a new manhattan bagel closer to home.

Arriving at 2:02, and having a close time of 2:30, you grill, were already off.

Now I am drivin to willow grove because they love their customers and grill ‘em until 3.

Love you!.
