Modifying delay until voicemail kicks in on AT&T and Google Voice

Lars — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:13:33 +0000

Every time I change something on my AT&T plan, they kick back the voicemail. I don’t want the native AT&T voicemail - most people call me through my Vonage number, and I get transcriptions from there, etc. I also have a Google Voice number I don’t really use (for now), so I thought I might use that for those callers who happen to call my cell phone directly. Well, the GV instructions don’t change the operator delay when flipping the number, they only change the number.

Fear not, there are solutions for everything:

this post summarizes what needs to be done for AT&T in general
simply replace the number with the one provided by GV (under “Activate Google Voicemail on this phone”) into the string, and it works with GV (note that the command codes are slightly different between what GV tells you and what the AT&T post tells you, but both seem to work).
The AT&T reference for activating and deactivating these codes is here.

VMware server antics: openSUSE 11.2 i.e. new kernels…

Lars — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:19:21 +0000

Apparently it is hard to keep up with kernel developments. VMware has problems. Latest one does not work with openSUSE 11.2 kernel (and Ubuntu kernels, and other kernels). I guess that’s the difference between supporting enterprise versions (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, SLES, RHEL) and not the newer (not to say leading edge) distributions (Ubuntu > 8.04, Fedora, openSUSE). Oh well… I ran into this again. Found a solution again… http://radu.cotescu.com/2010/01/19/how-to-install-vmware-server-ubuntu-fedora-opensuse/. Thanks, Radu./
