Hey all

I just FOLLOW STEP by step from this http://www.keyables.com/2011/12/try-android-x86-40-on-virtualbox.html , but unfortunately, in step 12, I chose ext3 as INSTRUCTION shown and when I press ok, it had an error window saying "cannot mount /dev/sda1 and simply it stopped me proceeding, so can anyone fix this problem for me please, thank you. Oh, I am using window xp at the moment.

Regards
johnin step 12, if I select Fat32, it stopped me from step 14, after the installation from step 14, it should be a window like step 15, but mine is  fail to CREATE data mg, so what should I do, thank you

Hello, I want to play MINECRAFT on my BSD, but my java virtual machine (not the openJDK, the sun java) just fails to run, giving me this error MESSAGE:
/usr/local/bin/jre1.7.0_17/bin/java: error while loading shared LIBRARIES: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It is there, in /usr/local/bin/jre1.7.0_17/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so, but it just can't find it...
I use FREEBSD 7.4, my linuxulator is linux base fc4 (do I need to get linuxulator Fedora 10?) and my SYSTEM is newly reinstalled.

How would I go about doing this?

My system was originally configured so that the mail routing was something like

*localhost -> localhost
** -> no route

where the LHS is the addressed location, and the RHS is effectivly what e-mail service the message ends up being addressed and sent from.

I later configured SMART_HOST and authinfo for SENDMAIL, so now it is like

*localhost -> localhost
** -> Hotmail

Now I really need to set it up so that, for 'root' and 'chris', the routing is as above, but for EVERYONE else, it is

*localhost -> localhost
** -> gMail


In effect, I want to MAKE it so that "my" e-mail address is on Hotmail (and messages that I send get sent from that address), while MAKING it so that messages that other users send are sent by means of gMail. Preferably, I want to maintain use of sendmail.

Hi all,

I need to check if a file is exist on a remote SERVER or not , I am using the following code :
Code: [Select]if [ -n `ssh $hostname 'ls /usr/local/file 2>/dev/null'` ]; then
echo file exists
fi/code]

The code is working fine, but now I have files NAME like
text1_progress
text2_progress

So I need to check that if file name having *_progress is exist or not, How to check this?

THANKS in AdvanceHave you tried 'ls /usr/local/\*_progress 2>/dev/null'?  I'm not sure at what point the command interpreter expands the wildcard.

You could also potentially use rsync to perform this test, with the --dry-run flag.

I keep hearing that Linux get not any viruses.i use my pc for browsing,SEO working,watching movies and downloading from youtube.really is this not get any viruses? inform me.In a word, "no."

Any computer that is attached to a network is not immune to viruses. But, as with everything else, it's relative. If you compare the vulnerability of Linux to Windows, you can understand why so many say Linux is immune

Sure Linux is bit secure out of box, but Linux desktop is all together different thing. It is just matter of time, once Linux got popular crackers will target Linux desktop too (think of all those net-books loaded with Linux). Right now there is not much protections for normal user account and users who will foolishly click on something in an email with attachments. However, SELinux or AppArmor may be used to protect the system.

There are 80% of people using MS (just a guess?) therefore, more hackers are working in an arena that has the most possible place for success

Even worse, Microsoft's email software is able to infect a user's computer when they do something as innocuous as read an email!

It is not a compliment to Apple or Linux or a fault of MS....just a fact....mostly, because Windows uses a registry and allows executional programs to run (exe files) the caveat is easier to use MS Windows, but easier to hack too

Sure, there are Linux viruses. But let's compare the numbers. According to Dr. Nic Peeling and Dr Julian Satchell's Analysis of the Impact of Open Source Software

"There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40 or so for the Macintosh, about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. None of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory."Thanks to you for response and inform me about this. i have another question that UBUNTU is this good for any kind of works?

Hi folks  ,

long time, no post...

I was wondering if I have any pci express slots in my rig that I bought in March 2007 in a supermarket.
I opened it and had a look but cant tell ONE thing from the other: there's two slots, one looks pci-ish, it's blue, lol.

I googled up this TERMINAL command: lspci and used it.
It came up with the info that you can see attacehd to this post.

Please have look if you find the time.

Cheers!




[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]It looks like you do; why don't you tell us the brand and model?
The computer is a Hyrican PCK01978, at least thats what it says on the sicker on the back.
And an ASUS MOTHERBOARD.

Please see attachments.

attachment2: it lists seven of these entries  !


[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Google is your friend. You have one PCI Express x16 slot and one PCI Express x 1 slot. There is no standard colour code for PCI Express slots but in fact on many boards they are black like the photo of your motherboard model (you say it is blue?).

Has anyone here used the Linux-HA clustering to see how well it works?

For my corporate application it probably makes more sense to replace one of our older dual xeon servers than place 2 of them into a Linux-HA Cluster for processing to load balance and extend their useful life.

The business has a tight budget, needs more processing power, and we have a spare same model 2U HP Dual Xeon server that is a switch over for when the primary goes down. My idea is to light up this other 2U server and configure them as a Linux-HA Cluster. The current OS is Fedora 17. So for the fact that everything is already running in Linux environment I am thinking this might be a direction to go, whereas if you were dealing with Microsoft/Linux-HA mix that would be a nightmare if its even possible.

The Linux-HA is also appealing because of redundancy if 1 of 2 servers die, the other keeps everything ALIVE. The other alternative is to split up some of the processing between the 2 servers and have say accounting running on one and other processing on the other to get rid of the lag that has begun in the processing of the users needs. BUT this then MEANS that if one of the 2 goes down hard, you dont end up back to slower pre Linux-HA performance at 1/2 the processing power, but instead you have a section of the business that wants to choke you if you dont fix it quickly so they can go home for the day. LOL

Thanks for all input on this one. If I do go with this Linux-HA project, I am going to set the original drives off to the side and INSTALL a new set of drives after copying over all the data that needs to migrate, so that if the Linux-HA project running into the late night early AM is a bust at 5am, I just need to install the drives back into the face of the server at the last minute and bring it back up LIVE as if nothing ever happened..lol

Was nice to get a response from you on this as for I thought maybe no one had played with it here before and it would become one of those unanswered questions that fade into the past.. 

Ok. So my question this time, is about sub domain systems.In standard HTML thee is a 'refresh' command that will direct the browser to another place that has a correct URL.
Sub domains are just that.
EXAMPLE:
http://geek9pm.com is my domain. (Of course.)
Then I could make a sub domain like this
http://jokes.geek9pm.com would also be part of my site.
(If I had enough jokes to populate it.)
Give me some clean jokes and In will put them there.
Ok, so, why that did not actually post how i wrote it, i dont know, probably my internet connection. as i am traveling right now.

However, what i MEANT to write is the following:

Ok. So my question this time, is about sub domain systems.

I am trying to set up a website, but one domain, such as sub.domain.net would re-direct visitors to a seperate phisical machine than the main web server.

Such as i have 192.168.1.101 set up as the web server, that gives HTML files to the visitor upon their visiting. Now, if they connect to sub.domain.net, they would be connected to the server at 192.168.1.102

Also, if i can have sub-domains also work for FTP servers and other ports that people would need access to, be re-directed by using the sub-domain. I will be having multiple FTP servers on the network that will be available to other people, and rather than people using ports that are not standard, i would like them to use sub domains to access their server.

The OS is Ubuntu Server 12.04, Web server is Apache2. The internal network speed between servers is up to 100Mbps.

If anyone has a solution to this question, PLEASE let me know. thanks. Just wait. You will get more answers as you provide more information.
First of all, does the serer have a connection to the Internet? Or is this a server only in a Local AREA Network.
You will make it t easier for yourself and all here if you give up  using an IP address. For the Internet a URL is required. With some exceptions, IPs should not be used to get to Internet servers. We ate in the year 2012, not 1999.

All machines on you LAN should have name and a share that can be opened with a URL.
Right now I am running Windows XP.  My local share of movies on my hard drive is:
Code: [Select]\\Kohn-8\Public_MoviesBut that only works in Windows explorer.
There is another way to identify a URL on your local network.
Here is an example of a correct URL that works in a browser.
Code: [Select]file://///Kohn-8/SharedDocs/e-mail%20project/AOL.txtNotice that is for just one file, not a folder.

As I said, you will get more answer is you say just want you want. You can not use an IP to get a list of files unless the IP is really pointing to a server. The IP of a machine is not the IP of the server. A server, in this context, is a entity inside the machine. It is a piece of software other that just the OS.Sorry, I just realized you are using LOCAL IP and not Internet.
You want to share files non one machine with other users. You can just make the local machines visible to each other. No need to use a sub domain.

Have you considered using Samba for local filen sharing?
http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=linuxcadieuxsambaI have a problem with using samba for a particular reason, and the web page i want to serve is run by a service, and if you run the service, it creates the webserver.

My problem is that i want this to be handled on a second computer with the sub-domain.

another issue with using samba is that i wanted to distribute the traffic to the second computer.

I would like to set up sub-domains, but have been unable to, even after the several tutorials i have read over.

Thanks. ok, this is complete information.

i have 2 web servers, one being the server that hosts the main content of my website. The second server is to run another section of the website, as test.jaredkat.net . I would like the content on the second web server to be viewable using the standard port, without the use of iframe.

However, i also have other servers, for game servers, running on the standard port for the game, 25565. I would like to have these servers to be accessed also by using sub-domain routing, and if possible, avoid any use of the user having to input a specific port number.

I know that a system like this can not be run in apache, or if it can all be ran by the apache sub domain system, i will be surprised.

I have my domain with godaddy, and my website hosted on my Internet connection.

ZIF anyone has an answer, it will be greatly appreciated. Hello again

I just found this for you but I don't know if you can use it because you were not sure if your server will in apache with Ubuntu http://thinkingnectar.com/2008/getting-ubuntu-to-work-creating-subdomain-in-localhost/

And this looks right down your lane of what you want http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3637593

Well I didn't get Linux Mint to work, but I did get ubuntu to work and I am using it now. I really like it. Windows might be a thing of the past for me. So far it has been able to do any thing that Windows can do. Linux Mint wouldn't install, it said that there was a problem with some file.ubuntu works fine. I have loaded pictures, music , surfed the net and watched a DVD. So far all is GOOD. Did you get Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04LTS?  I had 9,04 on a DISK and got it up and running. I really like it. I was asked did I want t up grade to 9.10 and I did and every thing went BAD. I couldn't bring it back up. It deleted some files to clean up and got rid of some thing it needed. I have spent most of the night trying to get it back.More often than not an update will break more things than fix.  I'd suggest backing up anything that's important and reinstalling with the latest version.  It may also help to backup your config files, too.

If you have a separate partition for /home it's much easier as you just install the new OS on the / partition and /home goes untouched.

I installed an older version of ubuntu (9.04)and was asked to up date, I did. After up dating it cleaned up some files and nothing worked after that. I tried to reinstall it and was told that I needed to clean the disk. So I down loaded the newest ubuntu and tried to install it. The live CD comes up and works great. I try to install it and get an error (could not start device/dev/mapper/asr_pictures-no such file or directory) and it won't let me install it. This comes up after giving the key board info.I was using a USB then changed to a PS/2 that didn't help. This was the same error I got when I tried to install the newest Linux Mint. I know I can clean the old CD and USE it to install the older ubuntu and that will work. Then it will run out of support soon. I need help getting the new one installed. Please help. Thank you for your time.Try seeing if your Ubuntu 9.04 will not give you an error. If ubuntu 9.04 does give you an error then try maybe formatting your disk with a formatting app (such as http://partitionlogic.org.uk/download/index.html) and then restart the installation. Let us know how that turns out.

If Ubuntu 9.04 installed successfully then 10.04 should too. I think it's a disk partition problem.There is some information missing in the first post.
We need to know something about the history of his computer .This can MAKE a difference. Is this a laptop? Has there been any HARDWARE errors with this computer?
Assuming that it's a desktop, and not a laptop there is an easier way to get to the heart of the problem. You just stick in a fresh, clean hard drive and tried to install to the fresh clean hard drive. If that works, then you know that there was something wrong with the old hard drive or maybe the partition table had been corrupted.
The only reason I mention this is because I have had this kind of problem before when trying to do installation of anything on a hard drive that gave me trouble before. Sometimes the hard drive is flaky, but in some cases the partition table has been really messed up by some other programs or operating systems.Today I went out to get a disk cleaner. The local stores didn't have one. So I stopped by the game shop and asked them and they told me to use WINDEX and a micro cloth. I did and installed ubuntu 9.04. Every thing went just as it should. All is well with this install.  Life is good. Now if I up date this ubuntu to the latest then I think it will all quit working like last time. The reason I say this is because if I don't let it clean the system up it is going to use the new stuff any way so it still will not work. The computer I am using has an Intel 2.2 cpu Intel mother board, I don't remember the number. I will get it if I have to. I do have a video card, nvideo I think, not a real good one, 4GB of ram. I put this unit together for the grand kids to play games on. It is about a year or so old. It works fine with windows. I installed a second hard drive to play with linux. It works great with ubuntu 9.04. When they come over I will just hook up the other hard drive and all is well with them. I have other OS that I got from On- Disk that install and work. It seem like if I down load it and burn to disk it will not work. Oh the DVD player is a Pioneer. I did read that there could be a problem using DVDRW that I needed to use a CDR. Could that be the problem? I really don't think that is it because why will the up grade kill the system? The up grade is down loaded to the system. As far as the DVD player being bad it down loaded games and a bunch of other stuff in windows with no problems. It has down loaded the up dates for ubuntu with no problems. I don't know what to do. I can change out the DVD player I have a new one here. I just don't think that is going to help. Do you have any ideas? Oh this computer is a desk top and has had no problems at all.Glad to hear you got it going.
A word about RW drives. Never use them for things that are very important. They should be used for testing and for temporary storage. But even then, you take a chance. My personal preference is to use them just for him MP3 files that I want to listen to once or twice and then ERASE the CD RW.
A good quality CD - R. is a small investment for something you want to use over again. And they burn faster anyway.
Frankly, I am not familiar with how to do updates to the Ubuntu   system. My feeling is that I would just get a full version of the next level and install it. I have had good results with the 9.10 and  I'm going to hold off on using the latest version. There is a reason why they keep these archives are round. Sometimes it turns out that one of the older versions is more stable and reliable than the newer release. I do not know if that's true of the Ubuntu, but it certainly is a possibility.
What I would do is stick with what works. That's why I'm sticking with the 9.10 version. But if you find the 9.04 version as reliable, I don't see any reason to change. Quote from: Geek-9pm on May 05, 2010, 01:04:45 PM

The only reason I can see to change is because it's only supported for about one  more year, that is 9.04. I like it better than what I saw of the new one, 10 what ever. That is the only reason I can see to up grade, is the support. If it isn't supported you can't get up dates for stuff if you have to do a reinstall like I just had to. I have a question. How do you reset the text size. I found it be for. This time I am having no luck finding it.

all the stuff from unbuntu works

absolutely everything is enabled on every tab in bios

I bought the computer used with ubuntu on it.  Its now VERSION 9.1.  There has never been any sound.  How do I know if there is something that I can or if I have to get it repaired?

Thanks. Does the computer have onboard sound or an expansion card (PCI or PCI Express)?  If its onboard, access your BIOS SETTINGS to see whether sound has been disabled there.

Did you get speakers with it when you bought it?  Or, are you using speakers you already had?I want to know what you're talking about but I just don't. 

Could you please walk me thru:  how to find out if my computer has an onboard sound or expansion card;  how to access BIOS settings.

No speakers.

XP

Thanks again!

I do not have a recovery CD for my Xp, no idea where it could be. Originally I wanted to download DSL on a Dell L700cx (desktop) running ME 2000. I tried it first with a CD I burned from my laptop at home but it would not boot so I decided to use Unetbootin on my laptop to INSTALL DSL. That worked and it booted but DSL seemed like a step down considering ME so I tried Saboyan. Saboyan did not boot. So NEXT I tried Fedora also would not boot, some TYPE of msg like "can not find media"' or maybe medium. And some silly msg like "going to sleep forever now" idk lol.

I think I need to completely delete DSL and the others first before trying a different one. Or can I just repair it?

Now, Im doing this all from my Laptop a Dell Inspirion 1200 but Im only testing these out for the old desktop. I know how to go into Computer Management and find my partition but it doesnt show any splitting there where I could delete the unetbootin/linux. I couldnt burn the ISO properly thats why I used the frugal install, perhaps I should have stopped when I ran into burning difficulties. =|

I DONT know guys... help me please! =D

I just RECENTLY had Linux installed and Ive been burning movies succesfully however TODAY I tried to burn an audio cd and it keeps saying "Error in Burning"..The cd will play on the computer and PS3 but not in my cd player! Can someone help me?? Im using Brasero and Ive tried the other "cd/dvd creator that Ive got on here! Neither have worked for me!Firstly, MAKE sure you have audio codecs installed. If you are using Ubuntu the package will be called ubuntu-restricted-extras.

And or try a different program like K3B or NERO.

Ok as i mentioned in my first Ubuntu post I love Ubuntu and i am NEW to it. My issue is that normally in the right corner we have our user name powersymbol menu and then the options of shut down etc. Anyway the one night at start up i got an error which unfortunately i can't remember what is was and that username, and power symbol menu bar along with all those options disappeared? Anyway the shut down log off options are now under system menu. Is there anyway to get it back into the top right corner under my username bar? INSTEAD of my username i have the time in the very right corner now. I know this isn't easy to explain so please tell me if you don't get it. If this helps my system specs will be posted at the bottom. and Ps i am dual booting with windows xp pro SP3

We have computer running Kubuntu 7.04 which we have to use to prepare RIP printing files (the program is called Caldera and only works on Linux).

We then have to transfer large files (around 100mb-2gb) via a memory stick to an adjacent PC which runs Windows XP pro.

What is an easy way to connect these two computers so I can transfer files - I suppose ideally using windows explorer to transfer the files?Do you  have a router that you use for Internet access?  If so, are both these computers connected to the router? 

Do you have any spare hard drives that could be installed in an external enclosure to make an external hard drive?  Do you have an external enclosure for a hard drive?  If you do this file transfer on a repeating basis and the computers cannot be networked via a router, an investment in an external hard drive may be a wise investment. These computers are stand alone, not on a network. I DONT have any spare hard drives, but would buy something to suit if it makes life easy.

One problem I have when transferring these files is that it is so slow, when transferring I GET a 'stalled' message.Are these computers connected to the Internet?

Hi everyone,

I have used regex before but I am trying to do SOMETHING new with it, and I don't even know a word to DESCRIBE it, so I'm just going to try to explain.

I am using SciTE text editor under Ubuntu Jaunty, and the text editor has a regex search & replace feature.

I want to search through a document where there are words surrounded by bold html TAGS like this:
RED

YELLOW

PURPLE


I want to replace the first bold tag with a hyperlink which includes the actual word itself but in all lowercase letters. So, in order for this to happen, regex has got to be able to "read ahead" and find out what word is between the bold html tags, before anything gets replaced. Is this possible? Here is what I want my result to look like, after the search/replace finishes:

<a href="red.html">RED[/URL]

<a href="yellow.html">YELLOW[/url]

<a href="purple.html">PURPLE[/url]


So I am asking 3 things:
(1) is this possible when using regex?
(2) what is it called (the "reading ahead" part)? i want to be more intelligent about the terminology!
(3) can you either show me how, or point me to a tutorial which is in fairly simple language?

Thank you very much.

I created a MAIL SCRIPT but it won't send any mail. I changed my php.ini into SOMETHING like this:

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.vivax.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

which I personally think is correct. Do I have to install sendmail or ssmtp for this mail script to run? I'm using php5, apache2 and ubuntu SERVER. Thanks.

Dear friends,

 i need to know about "LInux LOder" LILO UTILITY... but UNABLE to GET in-detailed documentation. If anyone provide details on this it will be helpful  to me. 

thanks for your time...where have you looked for detailed documentation?
You obviously have not tried Google.  Try HERE.Like all Linux utilities, Lilo is EXTREMELY well DOCUMENTED.

I just installed Linux Mint on Intel board DG31PR and every thing works fine. I didn't INSTALL any drivers because they are for Windows OS. I went to Intel to get the drivers like I have in the past for other boards and I couldn't find any drivers for Linux. Every thing is working fine. Do I just go with it the way it Is?If everything is working, I wouldn't worry about it. Linux doesn't have "drivers" like Windows does. The Linux kernel gets set up at install time. Like JJ 3000 says, no NEED to worry.

In the past when I installed Linux I went to Intel and down loaded drivers marked other or independent for Linux. Then I had to down load drivers for the video card, that never went well. So you are saying that no longer has to be dun? All the drivers are in Linux already? If that is the case great. Is that the same for video drivers?

create a menu in  UNIX?  I need it to look like this:

Menu of Options
1. Display all users in the UNIX system
2. Welcome yourself to the program
3. Display System information
4. Exit back to Windows 

Thanks in advance
BrianThis post seems to be GETTING reposted by you fairly frequently.  This will not get you support any faster and you will find that we don't do HOMEWORK anyway.That's fine if you guys don't do homework i JUST NEEDED SOME HELP TO UNDERSTAND!  I thought this SITE was a forum for like minded people that can ask one another how to do certain things that are computer related.  I will learn in due time.  Then I will be the one to help SOMEONE do homework if that's what needs to be done.

P.S.  Give what you want to have!  Good Luck
Far as the re-posting I am very new to the site was clear on how to do things yet.  Use your skill set to help people who are new to this not dog them.  Your to smart and good of a person for that. PEACE

I have an old computer that was running Win 98.  It seems to be very MESSED up.  I have another post about that elsewhere here.  But I have had a curiosity about linux for a while.
I think this is a 386 I don't know how fast it is or how much memory it has. 

Can I convert to linux?  How do I get started.
RIGHT now I can't get Win 98 to open.

Quote from: tightcoat on August 15, 2010, 09:31:21 PM

I think this is a 386 I don't know how fast it is or how much memory it has. 

That was quick.  I've seen this *censored* in several posts about linux.  Can you give me a hint as to the unacceptable word so I can start to look for it?  I'm serious here. I really don't have a clue.  Noe of the words I can think of seem to fit the context.

So can I download the operating system on this machine and burn a disk that will load the system and get the  old computer to boot?  How do I start.

heh, I forgot about that, I have censoring shut off in my profile.

Think, "Dang Small Linux", but instead of Dang, the things beavers make

You N Americans make me laugh with your "*censored* is a swear word".

Nobody else censors (or offers to censor) "*censored*" and "*censored*".

It's the forum software. I don't even think you can even configure which words are and are not considered "bad".

And the software was written where? Anyhow, you see Americans writing "H-ll" in uncensored forums, like it was 1850 again.

BC_Programmer, thank you very much for the clues and for the help.

OK, 

I downloaded and burned DSL (Let the reader understand)  It worked.  I have only run it off the cd so far.
I also learned a little more of what the computer has under the hood
Pentium III
500 MHz
I think 128 K RAM

So now what kind of linux can I run.  I just as well jump in with both feet.

Since I can't get Windows 98 to open is there a way to reformat the hard drive and start over with the new OS?  This computer is probably 11 years old, has always worked just fine until last week and that was my fault.  I can't imagine that there are any old files that I have not loaded over to my current computer.  It is at least 4 years old and if I haven't needed them yet I probably won't.  All I do on this is surf.  It isn't in the room where the real work happens.

Like I said I am green to all this linux stuff but have been curious and so now must be the right time.

XUbuntu would probably work as well.

Hello everyone.  I am using a Toshiba Satellite laptop, dual-booting Vista and Lucid Lynx.

Today I installed a statistical program called SPSS on Vista w/o paying (if you know what I mean).  When I restarted to go into Ubuntu, I couldn't get past the grub.

My grub shows 4 options (Vista, Ubuntu, neosmart linux, and neogrub (or something like that) ); the last two I added without knowing what I was doing and I don't use them.  Typically, I just click on 'Ubuntu' and it WORKS, but today when I clicked on it, my computer restarted.  This happens every time I try boot into Ubuntu.

I'm not even sure where to start dealing with this problem.  Anyone have ideas?               J.I forgot to add, I can boot into Vista with no problems.  That's where I'm writing this message from.  I also conducted a "memory DIAGNOSTIC" but that didn't really do anything, I'm not even sure it was supposed to.   Thanks for any help.come on guys!  Is there not a single person with an answer?

I UNINSTALLED SPSS but that didn't do anything.  My computer still restarts when I try to boot into Ubuntu.  Anyone?reinstall Ubuntu.

Or, try rescatux from here:

http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

I don't know how to reinstall it without affecting the vista partition (i.e, to replace to old ubuntu partition) Quote

Vista and Lucid Lynx.

I'm using Maverick on an emachines with a samsung monitor.  I tried using suspend, but when I returned from it, there was no video (i.e., the monitor is not RECEIVING any information, I think).  When I tried to reboot several TIME, same thing happens.  And since I can't see anything, I can't really do anything about it.  Any ideas?  (I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the monitor, but that didn't do anything).  ThanksWhen you say 'Maverick', what do you mean?

Some monitors will not restore unless you turn off monitor power for 3 seconds. It is some kind of hardware and monitor idle state  conflict.I think. I donno. I just turn it off for 3 seconds and back on an 'pop', there it is.Do you see anything at all on the screen when you power up? Do you get a no signal message on the screen? Can you get into BIOS? If not, try clearing CMOS.
Ubuntu has had problems with hibernate/sleep for a while now. There are some work arounds, but let's see if you can get into the OS first. Quote from: Geek-9pm on December 11, 2010, 12:57:03 AM

Unplug your computer. Open your computer's case and if you have a video card (not onboard video) take the card out and re-seat it.

should I be doing this anyways?

So this is my first time building a computer/installing Ubuntu so help me out a bit.

I am booting from a disc, when I power up a screen with my mobo's logo on it shows up

It disapears and a purple screen displays and when I hit any key the welcome screen shows up and asks me to select my language

I have five options; Try, Install, Check Disc, Test Memory, and Boot from first hard disc

Choosing any of the first four will do the following:
Monitor will switch back and forth from digital to analog, then the screen will go back to the mobo logo, essentially repeating the process.

To select boot from first hard disc just gives me a screen that says Booting from local hard disc...

Any ideas what might be wrong here?I'd try another cd. Quote from: JJ 3000 on December 16, 2010, 09:04:04 PM

I'd try another cd.

Do you have another cd burner that you can use to burn a fresh disk?

What program are you using to burn the disk?

Where did you get the iso?

Have you tried downloading a fresh copy?

      F4. Graphics Modes. If video is unacceptable during the operation of the CD, selecting the "Safe graphics mode" may provide better results during LiveCD operation or until video issues can be resolved after installation.

There are  boot options to deal with video problems.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
In earlier version the F4  shows VGA options

What’s the big deal about Linux Mint and why is it so popular among Linux users? It’s because that it includes a NUMBER of improvements and tweaks that aren’t set up out-of-the-box in the BASE Ubuntu distribution.

BTW: Mint 10 is the latest version.

Can anyone using PSPP (the open-source version of SPSS) on linux tell me how WELL it works?  I'm thinking of switching my emachines desktop to Linux but I need this program to run statistical tests for my PSYCHOLOGICAL research.  Thanks for your help.

J.Why not either install Linux in a dual-boot configuration with Windows, or install a VM (virtual machine) software such as VMWARE Player and install Linux in it as a VM?  I'm not familiar with PSPP so I can only suggest you do a Google search for info it. I pretty much just switched to Linux anyways, it's simply better.  Unfortunately, I'm using Maverick Ubuntu and it keeps freezing up on me, MAYBE I need a lighter distro.  Do you think Fedora or gNewsense would work?

btw.. pspp worked fine, it's actually pretty awesome Quote from: jim0watkins on December 07, 2010, 08:30:24 PM

Do you think Fedora or gNewsense would work?

I have the two question about performance and HARDWARE device path

1. I face the problem about the network card device path, I find some of the path is not in use, and want to delete them .

Let me TAKE the sample:

The old ethernet ADDRESS is in use eth0, but it is not in use in future. I want to ADD the new card assign the eth0. how can I delete and assign to new device.
 
2. How to CHECK the history of performance for Disk and Memory ?

Hi,

I'm trying to move my printer server from an x86 machine running SuSE to a SPARC server running Solaris 10, and I'm having problems finding the right PPD FILE.

I have installed cups 1.15 foomatic and ghostscript and put in the foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper SCRIPTS, and can start the cups admin page at http://localhost:631 however Brother don't supply a PPD file for the printer. I did find a cups driver rpm PACKAGE on their web site but as its Solaris I can't install it, so I tried the generic postscript PPD and my printer just hangs displaying "receiving data" on its lcd screen

I also did a find on the SuSE machine and found a PPD file on there which probably isn't written for foomatic/ghostscript and when I copy this to the Solaris server and select it as the printer's PPD then the printer doesn't do anything. Although a snoop shows it is just sending ACK Reset back to the server.

Has anyone any good ideas on. how to debug this or had any success printing to a Brother printer from Solaris using a different CONFIGURATION?

Thanks
ps sorry if there's typos as this is written on my HTCKeep looking.

Also, that printer can emulate one of the old HP laser jet printers. Look in the DOCUMENTATION. Of souse, you don't get all the features. But it will do some useful printing.

I have used a KVM switch on my pc since I first started USING it, AROUND a year ago, and never had any problems, and I put a wireless 5 button mouse into the Linux based pc a few days ago. i couldn't get the mouse to work, so i unplugged the mouse, continued using the wired mouse, and continued doing what i was doing. not until i rebooted my pc a few minutes ago did i get a black screen telling me that the 5 button mouse needs to be removed...

The pc will not let me past the black screen and here is a COPY of what is on the screen now:

I've read that you can install Skydrive in LINUX O.S. I WOULD like to KNOW how I may do this in order that I may access it from Win 7.

I have a bash script that backups database. What I WANT to do is save the FILE with its name and the current date. Here is my script.

#!bash/sh
#
MYDATETIME=;date +%Y-%m-%d

mysqldump -uroot -pdthscyth jobs &GT; jobs_$MYDATETIME.sql


The PROBLEM is when saving the file the value of the variable is not saved. Instead of jobs_2010-12-29.sql the filename is jobs_.sql. Please help. Thanks and Happy New Year!.

I figure it out. Commands LIKE date should be inside a back quote (`) so instead of

mysqldump jobs > jobs_$MYDATETIME.sql

it should be...

mysqldump jobs > jobs_`date +%Y-%m-%d.sql`

Thinking of building a Linux FTP Server to replace the Windows Home Server, SINCE I only use the MS Windows Home Server for FTP when I am away from home, and have had issues with their service that is redirected through ONE of their redirection SERVERS that then points and authenticates with your home server. BIGGEST problem is that if the home server is offline for a month or so, MS ditches the redirection path, and so you have to go through a reconfiguration madness.

 So instead of using the MS Home Server and having to just about rebuild it once every couple months, it makes more sense to just connect directly using a secure Linux FTP option by IP:port than this service that MS has that has issues at times and issues if hardware is offline for too long. Makes no sense to have it idle just to maintain the MS Redirection Service. Waste of ELECTRIC!

  About 7 years ago I used VSFTP for a college project, and had no problems with that other than just using a non standard FTP port that my ISP wasnt blocking for FTP communications such as 8080. Then used WinSCP to connect from my Windows Laptop to this FTP Server.

  Recently I read about using a tunnel by which to communicate the FTP through as an extra line of security. Figured I'd run this by everyone to see what you all suggest for secure FTP'ing? What software and config etc?

Hello, I would like to know how to create a tree consisting of directories and subdirectories using ONE command instead of MKDIR and using cd to GO in and create them individually.

example

mkdir A B C D would create the directories

is there a way to create sub directories in one command line


A B C D folders

Within A there's filea fileb filec

Within B there's filed filee filef

etc

I have a strange request. I will make a list below.

- TABLET computer or touch SCREEN laptop.
- Xubuntu
- Microphone/Camera
- Skype SUPPORT
- Not to much into gaming, but a few emulators would be nice.
- USB
- Physical keyboard.

I am thinking a touch screen laptop where I can install Windows and Xubuntu would be nice. I don't use Windows much, but to have it, if needed.

What would you say is the best way to go? The best way to be the cheapest and get the most for my money.Can you clarify what you are looking for?
Do you need hardware, software or both?Hardware. I know I want to use Xubuntu.

If you look at the link above you will see that "CNET" says it "Starting at: $2,249.99", yeah not looking at something that pricey. I did find it for a cheaper price of "$850", but still way too pricey for me. If anyone can find it much (much cheaper), then let me know. Other wise I need something different.

Just a reminder, I am gearing towards something that will run Xubuntu for business use. I am a big INTERNET user when it comes to work. Quote from: thumbtak on February 01, 2011, 04:35:36 PM

Hello Ubuntu users!

Recently I like many other's began using Ubuntu. I dual booted with WINDOWS Xp Pro, and I love Ubuntu just as much as i love mac. I did however find one problem. Using the Ubuntu Software centre, I downloaded Wine. This program is supposed to emulate windows to run windows applications. I installed 2 games but realized this wasn't a video game emulator so naturally i uninstalled them by going into Applications > Wine > Programs > Rockstar Games > uninstal GTa 2. But after installation the Rockstar Games sub menu and all of its contents are still there. When i click uninstal Ubuntu does nothing when i click on the exe to open it Ubuntu tells me the file is missing. How to i get rid of these files?

if this would help IM using Ubuntu version 9.10 with the following specs on my Toshiba SATELLITE A40
2.70 GHz cpu
512 MB RAM
40 GB hard drive partitioned for 37 GB divided into two partitions 22 for windows and 15 for Ubuntu

Any help is great and I really love Ubuntu so please let me love it more. I understand this is a free source and isn't 100% bug free but already I like it better than Windows. Hi,

New to Linux I want to make sure I got this right.  I added user accounts to the server for email purposes and just added a .forward file in the user directory to forward all emails, leaving nothing on the server.
The users were added without a password.  Is my understanding correct that, by creating a user without a password, it disables the account and therefore nobody can log in with those usernames?
Your help is appreciated.Not sure but I believe CentOS is BASED on Red Hat Enterprise, or maybe Slackware? Either way these are pretty high end enterprise worthy systems. I run SuSE and the server would slap me bald headed, actually I don't think it will let me CREATE pass-wordless user accounts, that’s the concept behind dummy passwords.

Suspect you'll have to sign in as root and MODIFY or delete accounts, but recover the .forward emails from your endpoints first, this would be an excellent opportunity to develop a relationship with the CentOS users community.THANKS, I registered at CentOS as well.  Apparently a user created without a password has in fact an unguessable password but it was suggested that I prohibit logins for these users just to be sure so that's what I did.

I dont want to SPEND a lot of TIME configuring and COMPILING an install. Does anyone know where can I find an ISO package of Linux with MRTG and APACHE already on it?

hi i gangadhar vikhepatil from pune, mahrashtra, india

i try install the mandrake linux operating sistem but after boot it saying KERNEL panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on sdb2 ..
pleze helping the newcomerHi, I have lots of questions, what distro, what revision, are you dual booting (Sdb 2 implies you are), what boot director,
what vers of windows is currently RESIDENT, did you verify the MD5 check sum of your install media

By description I suspect confusion in the MBR and /. mount point to say the least, but suspecting and knowing leaves a lot of doubt between with even more questions about how it got there.

Happy to help but more information about your system is DESPERATELY needed before any answer can be achieved.

I am ATTEMPTING to install Ubuntu 10 on a NETBOOK and I keep getting an error when it COMES time in the instalization PROCESS to install the boot loader. During the install, when it is almost done, I get a fatal error that says "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mmcblko' failed." I'm at a loss and have searched extensively and have came up with any VIABLE help.

I am updating the netbook from ubuntu 9.04. IDK if that matters..Can anyone help?http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7304900

Take a look at this other forum post, maybe it will help you out.
