Solve : Why can't I see my bluetooth device?? |
Answer» In my Ubuntu/ARM platform, I inserted a bluetooth card. I ADDED "passkey "1446";" at my /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf. Then, I ran "/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart". It showed "bluetooth stopping" and "bluetooth starting". Then, I used command "sudo service bluetooth STATUS" to check and it showed "bluetooth is running". |

Solve : Need a ping script? |
Answer» I need to write (or acquire) a script that continuously pings a site (google will do), and then execute a sound file if my internet CONNECTION drops out. The reason for this is that I have an application that needs to be constantly connected to the internet and if that connection drops out, which it does, I need to know immediately so that I can reset the connection. Is such a script difficult to write? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.I had a similar problem with the le DRIVER on Solaris 7 on my old SPARCstation-1 |

Solve : Thinking about replacing Windows with Linux? |
Answer» I have a machine that has a virus I can't get rid of and I might have to install. I'm thinking about installing Linux; I know that my C: drive will be wiped out, but I have a D: and E: drives on which I hope to backup all my important STUFF. My question: They are completely separate hard drives, physicallyRecent versions of Linux will mount all drives on start up. And Linux now does a good job of reading and writing NTFS file system. But you do not have to give up Windows. Wipe the drive, install Windows again, in stall a good AV software. Right now, Windows 7 64 bit is a hot performer. And next time stay away form those **censored ** web sties. PS dual boot of Linux and Windows works good when you have about 20 GB you can give Linux and maybe 80 GB for Withdraws. I don't want to pay for windows, and the legit version running on my machine did not come with an installation disk. I could pirate I suppose, it's not really my thing though. Quote from: zulubanshee on September 07, 2013, 11:49:19 PM I don't want to pay for windows, and the legit version running on my machine did not come with an installation disk. I could pirate I suppose, it's not really my thing though.Either it has a restore partition or you can find a install disk. What MATTERS is the Windows product key. If it had one, you can legally install the OS again. Even if you do not have the original disk in your possession. It is the product key, not ownership of the disc, that makes you legal. Which version of Windows was it? Microsoft has a trail version of Windows 7 that can be downloaded. You then burn it to a DVD. t is legal to download Windows 7 from Microsoft. I do not lie. Take a look. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Windows-7.shtml If you can, remove all the hard disks that you do not want to install linux on, just to be safe. Then you can just boot from the linux CD or flashdrive and the installer will take you from there. If you can't remove the extra HDDs, just be absolutely sure that you choose the right one. I've wiped the WRONG disk more than once when I was first starting out in the computer repair business. |

Solve : sudo: must be setuid root error? |
Answer» Hi, I am working on a server that I am remotely connecting to and recently made a mistake with file ownership. The sudo file was among the files that changed owner and now I am getting 'sudo: must be setuid root' anytime I try a sudo command. I had the administrator change the owner of this file back to root and now when I run 'ls -l sudo' on the sudo file I get sudo is a program for Unix-like computer operating systems that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user (normally the superuser ...Some here may not understand what you are doing. You are using sudo on a remote server. Is it some recent version of a Linux server? Is it Fedora? Quote There are two ways to run administrative applications in Linux. You can either switch to the super user (root) with the su command, or you can take advantage of sudo. How you do this will depend upon which distribution you use. Some distributions enable the root user (such as Fedora, Red Hat, openSuSE), while some do not (such as Ubuntu and Debian). There are pros and cons for each.It looks like I'm running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (using the 'lsb_release -a' command) and I am on a windows machine using an ftp tool to remotely connect to the linux server. I am trying to use 'sudo su' to log in as root but I get that error.I want to help, if I can. First of all, I am not a current IT professional. Requirement CAME many years ago. What I know about serves and Linux is only has a personal computer user. Never have I been able ton control anything with a FTP client other that list files in directories, change directories and upload and download files. Servers for domain names often allow limited control of the remote system. For security reasons. Some of the old loopholes in Linux have been closed. A domain owner on a shared server can only get into his 'root' and nothing higher. The 'root' for a domain is really a user space on the Linux system. Also, a FTP account can be, is some cases, limited to a sub directory and cannot more up in the directory of the domain. My only experience of server control is via some KIND of control panel that is a server-side graphical interface. The most common is called cpanel. When I setup a new domain on a server, it does not get full use of the server. INSTEAD, the user must use the cpanel to make changes. https://cpanel.net/demo/ Above is a demo of cpanel. Does your server offer this kind of thing? Where about is this 'sudo' file located on the disk? What actually happened when you 'made a mistake with file ownership' - If this has taken a large number of files with it the problems could run a lot deeper than not being able to use sudo in which case a full reinstall may be a better option?I had run a recursive command changing the owner of all of the files in the home directory to a specific non-root user (yes this is a very bad thing). It got about halfway through before I STOPPED it. Now the admin has changed all of the home files so that each user owns its own files.To answer your specific question ... The error states that sudo must be setuid, and this is not so: Code: [Select]-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 225800 Jan 5 2012 sudo To just fix that, you need to execute Code: [Select]chmod u+s sudo However ... You did say that you only ran chown and not chmod and this affected many files on the system, so I would strongly recommend that you should restore the whole system from backup. BTW, many times at this point I hear people say, but I haven't got a backup. To which my response is the same as Captain Mainwaring says to Pike "stupid boy" NB: A mirror is not a backup. If you run the wrong command and destroy your data, then a mirror will give you 2 copies of garbage. |

Solve : Questions in using Ubuntu? |
Answer» I've installed an UBUNTU on VirtualBox at my PC. I created a folder, linux-share, at my PC as communication area between PC & Ubuntu over VirtualBox.

Solve : Moving versus copying files and directories? |
Answer» Still playing AROUND with SSH. Use mv: there is no chance of losing files on the way, trust me. It is far quicker to mv a directory than to do a recusrive cp then delete - it's one file operation (changing the file index) rather than many. The only time mv will take longer is when you're moving between filesystems - i.e. if the files will end up on a different physical disk, then a full recursive copy will be done behind the scenes. Even then, files will only be deleted once a succesful copy has taken place. Hi Rob - Okay that makes sense. So for instance the directories I want to move are actually in the directory I want to move them to.... DUH! I want to move them up 1 level. Let me explain ---- My host's structure is /domains/sitename/html. I erroneously decompressed my archive so that all my files (2.5 gigs worth) are in /domains/sitename/html/public_html. In other words all the directories and files in /domains/sitename/html/public_html need to get moved into /domains/sitename/html (back on level). Can this be done? Les PS Still chuckling about your tar & feather quip. Yep: cd /domains/sitename/html/public_html mv * .. ".." means the directory above the current working directory.Quote Yep: cd /domains/sitename/html/public_html Hi Rob - So basically the "*" captures all files and directories and the ".." indicates a step back? Wow, this is simply too cool. I still remember having to learn UNIX back in 1988 when I WORKED at AT&T. Pipes - it was all about pipes. I appreciate the tutelage. You are prodding me into exploring and learning more. Les Yep, that's it. At a shell prompt, "*" represents any number of any characters (including zero characters), whereas "?" represents any single character. E.g. "*cat*" would match all of the following: cat cathode fatcat escatologyQuote Yep, that's it. At a shell prompt, "*" represents any number of any characters (including zero characters), whereas "?" represents any single character. E.g. "*cat*" would match all of the following: Perfect! I followed your instructions and it worked purrrrrfectly! Les PS Thanks again Rob!No PROBLEM. I hope you continue to enjoy working with Linux. Quote No problem. I hope you continue to enjoy working with Linux. I will - Linux is just Unix with a nice change of clothes! Les Quote Yep, that's it. At a shell prompt, "*" represents any number of any characters (including zero characters), whereas "?" represents any single character. E.g. "*cat*" would match all of the following: I know that this solved your problem, but for completeness I thought you might like to know about the hidden files ... Sometimes directories contain hidden files which start with a dot, such as .mozilla or .bash_history (find them with ls -a). A simple * won't match those files but don't ever use .* [/tt]because that matches the current and parent directories, and you can seriously screw up the whole machine by accidently deleting the root directory! I've never seen anyone use a single-letter dot file, so use .??* to match your dot files. e.g. Code: [Select]mv * .??* .. Quote QuoteYep, that's it. At a shell prompt, "*" represents any number of any characters (including zero characters), whereas "?" represents any single character. E.g. "*cat*" would match all of the following: Thanks a bunch as a fellow like me would sooner or later try exactly what you mention! Les |

You can't hope to proceed manually otherwise; the same would be true in Windows if you didn't have the drivers.It takes Linux a bit to catch up with "cutting edge" products like this as Linus drivers usually have to be reverse engineered. Unfortunately, Dell is so strongly in the Windows camp this may take a LONG while. If NDISwrapper does not work, then perhaps disabling the onboard NIC and using a more widely ACCEPTED add on card may be the way to go.Quote Use one of the software info progs (see the FAQ) and get some real specs on that wireless.

Solve : SUSE Linux clock way out? |
Answer» I'm using SUSE LINUX 9.1, Kernel 2.6.4-52 You have a flat battery. I concur. That's not fatal; you can overcome this problem with ntp as I mentioned. Load up YaST and search the packages for ntp. You'll find what you need. Then check the man pages for configuration details. The config files are usually at /etc/ntpd.conf, /etc/ntp.d/ or somewhere like that. ntpd can be configured to connect to a time server whenever an INTERNET connection is available, and will keep your clock pretty much up to date. Without an internet connection though, this will be of no help to you. In either event, you may WANT to change your CMOS battery. They're not expensive. Re the dialup script; there are standard things that can be added to wvdial.conf, I think (if that's what you're using) or pppd.conf; SuSE's documentation has always been good on this kind of thing. It's been such a long time since I used dialup with Linux that I can't really talk you through it, but the info is all on SuSE's website and elsewhere. |

Solve : Is there Any way that I can install Linux ?? |
Answer» I have ubuntulinux burned to a CD and ready to go but I have heard that I need to set my bios to BOOT from the cd but I don't have that option. I am running windows 98. I want to dual boot with windows. Is there anyway for me to install linux ?What is your computer make/model or motherboard? This has been available since the Pentium I days on VIRTUALLY all machines.Quote What is your computer make/model or motherboard? This has been available since the Pentium I days on virtually all machines. It's a Compaq Presarion 5630,Win 98, 128 Ram, 400 Mhz Processor, Ati graphics card, compaq makes my motherboard, and that's virtually all the info that I have + Bios = Compaq.Whether or not your BIOS has a boot from CDROM option hidden somewhere, you can always use the indispensible Smart BootManager. >Get it here<.Well, that's the problem. Ubuntu has a built in dual booting thing but if I put the disc in then it will overwrite windows and it would possibly not work. I need to be able to keep windows and install ubuntu.ok, I see what you mean. I just get an error when I try to use it. Could you GUIDE me through this step by step ? It would be very much appreciated. Edit: Pray for me this is the Tutorial that I am going to use. I hope it works '_'You're also going to either need some free space on the hard drive to CREATE linux PARTITIONS, or add a second hard drive to install linux to. |

Solve : Renaming or Chown, on Ubuntu6.06? |
Answer» :-? I am having trouble renaming the directory (note . & _):Check the permissions, by doing ls -l xyz from the folder that contains xyz. Chances are, no one has permission to change the folder. But root can of COURSE grant permssion to itself. Quote Also is there some way to change the autocompletion?Absolutely, but there are many different ways to change it. You need to read the bash manual: info bash Then you can set it up the way you want it.Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. even with chmod 777, Root can't change this EITHER. The error message is: Bareword "j2re" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. Any idea what it means?? I've found "strict subs" in vcs1, but can't read this, it's a "c" not a file of directory... :-? will look at info bash. thanks a lot Puzzling. Are you changing this from a file EXPLORER or from the shell?Hi Roy, I'm changing it from a shell. It seems 'strict subs' has to do with some pragma settings... I'm trying the options of using a symbolic link, or moving the contents into a dir root creates, but the mv takes the entire j2xxx... directory into the jre dir... Any suggestions? do you know what the c in crwxrwxrwx is? :-? thnx a lotQuote Hi Roy,Who's 'Roy'? :-? Quote do you know what the c in crwxrwxrwx is?It's a "character special" file, not a normal file, and not a directory. Can you tell me: why do you want to rename this file? Something somewhere in the Java installation will be dependent on this file, so you can't just rename it willy-nilly.I am sorry ROB!... your name has roy at the end, and I must have written it because of that. The installation requires the name that way. I got it right with some trick moves, but I think it works with a symbolic link too. For anyone wanting to use the fast auto-completion: the tab key has to only be touched once to get the completed file name. Thanks ROB! For the info of all, Ubuntu installs well on an Acer 5601, maybe only the sound doesn't work. But WIfi is done automatically. Have a good day wherever you are. |

Solve : Telnet issues? |
Answer» Just installed a new REDHAT 9 box and all is well but I cannot telnet to it. I can access it with ssh, but not telnet. I have it setup in the SYSTEM firewall and also my main firewall to allow telnet but no go. Also I have ANGRY IP scanner and when I scan my NETWORK I get the IPs, Host name, and mac of all computers/network gear on my network but not this box. I can get the IP only, it can access the net and ping any box on the network or intenet. Any ideas out there? :-/OK guys found the issue, In Redhat 9 the "telnet" client is installed by default; the telntd daemon is not. Thats why it will not respond to the telnet request. SSH is a better way to access and admin the box anyway. Do not under any circumstance run a telnet server. Never! |
