I am new to this Unix stuff.

Could anyone POSSIBLY provide the COMMANDS to...

1. Find all logged-in users with usernames of at least 5 characters.

2. Find all users on your system WHOSE user ids are greater than 77.

3. Find the number of users on your system whose user ids are greater than 66.

4. List all the files in your directory in decreasing ORDER of FILE size.

Thanks in advance.

Opensuse Tumbleweed 64 bit. I get the subject flashed on the screen before boot starts.

What does it mean and how do I fix it?Did you mean usbhid? USB human interface DEVICE - either mouse or keyboard. Try either connecting them to a USB 3 port if you have them, or disable USB debugging in the BIOS. Kunzu MICE are known for this. Maybe a different mouse or keyboard will fix? Otherwise plenty of suggestions on STACK Exchange etc

I am looking for a TEXT version of the unix SHAR program that I NEED to modify for an EXAM. ANYONE have this.

The Tor PROJECT has released a security update for the Tor Browser on Mac and Linux to fix a vulnerability that leaks users' real IP addresses. The vulnerability was spotted by Filippo Cavallarin, CEO of We Are Segment, an ITALIAN company specialized in cyber-security and ethical hacking. Cavallarin privately REPORTED the issue -- which he codenamed TorMoil -- to the Tor Project last week. Tor Project developers worked with the Firefox team (Tor Browser is based on the Firefox browser) to release a fix. Today, the Tor team released version 7.0.9 to address the vulnerability. Tor Browser 7.0.9 is only available for Mac and Linux users. Tor Browser on Windows is not affected.

what does $? COMMAND STANDS for?

How can I DEACTIVATE an VACATION MESSAGE with the vacation COMMAND ?

I am have a PROBLEM installing a SPECIAL graphic card on Redhat 9. The x-server fails to start and just sits and cycles a test pattern on the screen attached to the new graphic card. I am UNABLE to break the cycle without hittting ctrl/Alt/del. Is there some way I can break the x-server without rebooting? If I reboot I have to shut down remove the new graphic card and then I lose the Xfree log file.

ctrl-c my friend.... universal unix cancel HEHE... and about X ... did it work before? is your card new? or has it WORKED with your card before

Just throwing this out... I have Windows 10 64 bit, and I have enabled Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Great. Bash shell. So far so good. Wanting to push it further, I looked into getting an X desktop, which, I read, is somewhat difficult. I found I could install lightdm, LXDE, and Xvnc4, and now I can connect to WSL via a VNC viewer and get a big LXDE desktop. W00T, or so I thought. Trying to it it directly, (i.e. an Xterminal on Windows) I couldn't get xMing to work consistently without crashing, and vcxsrv just gives me a blank screen when I try to connect to Display :0 on localhost. Anyhow, the VNC sessions run about as briskly as (a) a Debian 8 Virtualbox VM on localhost (b) a VNC session into my Dell laptop running Debian 8. I have installed and run Geany, Tor Browser, Firefox 57, Deluge, lots more. However I read somewhere that using VNC this way is "bad". Is this because real 'nix men don't use VNC? Should I feel embarrassed that I am such a lamer? Please don't ask me to remember all the things I did to get this working!!!

Whatever works for you is how I see it! And unless you have someone looking over your shoulder or share it with OTHERS would you be subject to someone saying its bad and real nix men dont do that etc.

I have assembled some real Rube Goldberg global award winning projects myself with stuff that people would deem "BAD" ... not Bad in a sense of illegal in any way but if i can get to a solution with 5 minutes of code that gets the job done, I will generally go that route when the end product is for myself vs put many hours into programming and researching and learning the "Proper Way" to do things, with both methods doing exactly the same thing or getting the same end result that I need.

For me its usually C++ or Perl and use of system calls to automate some process, sometimes a mix of both languages to take advantage of some features that Perl has that are quick to code that C++ is more involved in doing yet I want it as an EXE and not a .PL to run etc as well as I have a automation macro creator program that I own called Jitbit Macro Recorder ( https://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/ ) that I will record keyboard and mouse information and then edit it, or add instructions in the easy to program instruction list, or compile it as-is as an EXE to be called by C++ in a system call or .PL in a system call and all combined it does exactly what I need, BUT its a real Rube Goldberg method of achieving what I want generally and a lot less time than coding it all in C++ for example to parse info off the web etc in which I have found C# to be much better with and taken a liking too, but even with C# I mix what I know to get the job done, BUT... to "Real Programmers" vs "Hobbyist Programmers" it can be nails to a chalk board for them to follow and look at with what I did to get what i needed.

Only thing that would be bad to me is if by using an alternate method you open yourself up for a security hole in which your floating on the DMZ where your at risk of hackers etc, but behind a router with nothing open special for port forwarding etc, you should be fine unless riding on some other service that has a vulnerability that can operate over port 80 which i cant think of any.

I used this tool linked here Secunia PSI a few years ago to keep certain systems as up to date as possible to avoid vulnerabilities with software etc: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html

It was neat in that I had been using older versions of software and tools unaware of security vulnerabilities and it pointed out when Adobe was out of date and other programs out of date and newer version as well as exploit info etc to assess the risk to update or remain on an older version such as for a software that was once free for home use under an older version but latest version is not just a 30 day trial in which I remain on the older free edition of whatever it was because I don't use it often enough to be worth while to buy it and the risk is very low so I will ignore updating that specific piece of software etc.

Lastly slightly off subject but in relation to the Jitbit software, I bought that Jitbit Macro Recorder software back in 2006 and ran into an issue with it 9 months ago on a Windows 7 machine in which my key given to me back in 2006 wasnt working on the newest version of their software which had a bug correction that i needed because I was hitting the bug with the older version on Windows 7. They have a lifetime license for it ( free updates ) and so a guy named Vlad contacted me back by e-mail after I copy pasted my original purchase e-mail to him to show proof of legal license ownership, since I save copies of all web purchased software invoices as proof of ownership, and he issued me a new key for the latest version that had the bug fix in it.

I've lost count of the things in our old Mainframe codebase which were basically intended to be quick hacks and "done properly later" that were never done properly- though I cannot tell by the comments since somebody stripped all the code comments in 1994. Nothing l ike reverse engineering uncommented code from a forgotten dialect of BASIC to make you appreciate modern language features a bit more.

Hello.How do i install unity3d on my computer my computer is an lenovo ideapad 110s and the operating system i USE is MX linux.One of the REASONS i need unity3d is because i play vrchat and IM going to create my own models for the game.And will i be able to install a GRAPHICS card on my computer?

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 16.04.3 on my hard drive, which already had Windos XP and Windows 10. (I made a backup before I stated.)

Ubuntu did install grub, the linux boot manager wiht no problems, But I wanted the default to be Windows, not Ubuntu. This was a custom install.

So I also FOUND a neat little thing for grub to be a visual thing.

The nmount points in Linux confuse me, so I kput the script I found on a USB stick. Here is the script I sed to make the boot manager eay to modify.

LTS is an abbreviation for “Long Term Support”.

We produce a new Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server release every six months. That means you'll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer. Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 9 months on the desktop and server.

A new LTS version is released every two years. In previous releases, a Long Term Support (LTS) version had three years support on Ubuntu (Desktop) and five years on Ubuntu Server. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, both versions received five years support. There is no extra fee for the LTS version; we make our very best work available to everyone on the same free terms. Upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.

The LTS designation applies only to specific subsets of the Ubuntu archive. The LTS may not apply to all flavours and remixes of Ubuntu. For example, for 8.04 LTS, Kubuntu chose to move to KDE 4.0 and didn't issue an LTS release. In 10.04, the Netbook Edition was not an LTS. The project will decide which flavours will be LTS and the support duration for each, early in the LTS development cycle.

I just put together a new computer using all new parts. I dont want to buy Windows XP, and i want to get linux. What TYPE of linux do you suggust, where do I get it, and how do I install it onto my hard drive. (i have no OS installed yet.)check out http://www.linux.org/docs/beginner/index.html
There is everything You need.


Sirix.When I started using Linux (~a year ago?) I JUMPED right in and installed Slackware (http://www.slackware.com).

Don't be discouraged by people who tell you it's hard - with just a little reading and several googles, I have found it to be quite simple (logical), fast and very very stable.

You can download it from one of the mirrors listed here: http://www.slackware.com/getslack/. You only need the first 2 CDs for a full working system with GUI. The installer is a simple series of text-menus that make installing only what you need/want a breeze.

Do a quick google for "slackware review" and see what you think.i love linux, when i started out i went to suse 9.1, it was a very friendly install and good overall platform,

other people say the redhat/fedora core is a good STARTER, but i really dont like it, it just doesnt fit with me well.

mandrake is suppose to be antoher great starter distro, although i've never tried it.

there are many distros to choose from, if you dont like one, jump to another, thats what i've been doing, there is all a great support compunity for linux, there are mayn linux devoted help forums such as linuxsolved.com and linuxquestions.org, all of which people give out advice and help, linux as a whole is great with a great sommunity of people too.I recently installed Mandrake 10.0 and was really impressed with how easy it was. All you need to do is download the iso files and burn to disk (there are three and they are about 700meg each). Then make sure your bios is set to boot from the CD drive first. Put in DISK1 and reboot. It is just a matter of following on screen instructions and switching disks from there.

The cool thing is if you already have an operating system on your hard drive it gives you the option of saving it and will create a seperate partition for linux. You will then have the option at bootup which one to load.

It found all my hardware, even auto detected my internet connection. The only part I am finding hard is trying to install new software. As smb mentioned though there are a LOT of good sites out there to help, and with the dual boot system I can just mess with it in my spare time.

You can get the iso's here http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3

One of the desktops, and also one of the laptops, it I put the mouse on the top of the side bar, or press the Suer Key, it'll automatically go log back out and show the login screen. It only does this one two computer, regardless of which version Ubuntu, 16.04, or 17.10.I can work around it, such as opening Firefox from the terminal, or nemo, but it is still annoying one the laptop that does it, isn't mine. I said I would take a look at it for someone, that is the only problem. Both computers have the latest UEFI/BIOS update.

Hi
I search for free UNIX SHELL in internet; I FIND this list www.red-pill.eu[/URL]
And I register as free to some of them and telnet-ing to them but none of them show me UNIX shell.
They are not like UNIX shell and are different with each other.
They have own customize and command.
Do you KNOW any free real UNIX shell service?

Thanks
Most of what's on that page are Linux derivatives.

Top 8 Best LocalTesting Environments for WordPress ** footnoete

Many site admins take advantage of these environments where they can do thorough testing before committing changes to a site. If you’ve ever activated a new PLUGIN or upgraded to a new version of WordPress only to find errors on your site, you will know the importance of testing first.
There are many ways you can set up a test environment, but the easiest by FAR are localhost environments or cloning your site on your existing web hosting account.

Is there any DIFFERENCE?In MODERN LINUX DISTROS, there is no difference.

i have been going from distro to distro trying a few out, after my first failed attempt on freebsd, i've decied to GIVE KNOPPIX 3.6 a try on my hard drive. i have two hdd's, hda(200gb) with 150gb ntfs on hda1, and 50gb for linux on hda2..., on hdb1, i have a 6gb fat32. after my failed freebsd, my hda2 is messed up. when i run qtparted on knoppix its scans hdb fine, but give a critical error on hda and crashes the progam. when running knoppix-installer on root, under partioning part, it gives error that hda is read only, and i cant do anything. im not sure what to do. but i have important info on hda1 that i really cant loose, i still have the freebsd bootloader, but it only works for xp and it scares me a bit.

ve run windows98 fdisk, and the resultes dont match up:

partiton - format ------mbytes - ----usage
1 ---------- NTFS -------18925 ---------30%
2 --------- EXT-DOS --- 44461 --------70%


total disk space 63402


the ntfs partition shold be 150bg, not 19, if ext-dos is my messed up linux partition it shold be AROUND 50, well 44 is close. but still

i also ran the fedora core installer, and it also gave back an error:

"Invaild Partition table on /dev/hda - wrong signature - 0"

that cant be good. i can reinstall windows if i must, but i have liek 20gb of stuff i really cant loose. unless anyone knows how it fix the partition table, or a way i can create anther partion just to store data then delete it later. i DUNNO....any suggestions?

I have a requirement to read the FIRST 3 characters of the data inside a file and then rename the file BASED on the values of that data.

Example:

Read FileA
If data in positions 1 - 3 equal "ITP" then rename file to FileA_ITP, else if data in positions 1 - 3 equal "UNB", then rename file FileA_UNB
Write new filename

I was thinking I could use a GREP COMMAND to look at and determine the value of the first three positions of the data inside the file, but I'm not sure if that will work and what command or syntax I need to rewrite the file name from that data.

Appreciate any feedback.

Hi there is there a Linux OS that can be USED as a Domain CONTROLLER in a Windows ENVIRONMENT?Any OS that can run Samba, I should think. There are a lot of those.



Great thank you. I will look into it.

Can anybody here tell me how to WRITE a simple Cron script?
Basic job:
It will run daily.
It will copy a jpg IMAGE file

Now when I get that far, I will rotate the file naming from a list
The list is this:
sig1 sig2 sig3 sig4 sig5 sig6 sig7

It will start by making sig.jpg from the next item in the list.

So on Monday, visitors will see the image from the sig1 file.On Tuesday, the sig2 file. And so on.

I guess I could just do this with FrontPage extensions, but I don't think the server has that. I have not seen it for a long time. Maybe it has been forgotten.

It does not have to be Cron. Any suitable script will do.
Any suggestions?
i think this will work

Code: [Select]#!/bin/bash
SYMLINK="$HOME/work/temp/geek9pm-cron/sig.jpg"
prefix="sig"
ext="jpg"
num="$(date '+%u')"
filepath="$HOME/work/temp/geek9pm-cron/files"
filename="$prefix$num.$ext"
todaysimage="$filepath/$filename"
if [ -e "$todaysimage" ]
then
ECHO "Source: $todaysimage"
echo "Dest: $symlink"
if ln -sf "$todaysimage" "$symlink";
then
echo "Done"
exit 0
else
echo "Link FAILED"
exit 1
fi
else
echo "Image $todaysimage doesn't exist, exiting"
exit 1
fi

then

Code: [Select]crontab -e
add line

Code: [Select]1 0 * * * /path/to/yourscript
by default Monday is day 1, Sunday is day 7, so this would symlink files/sig1.jpg to sig.jpg at 12:01 Monday morning

if your web server serves symlinks this should work
otherwise just use cp instead of ln -sf Many thanks, I will give it a try.

What version(s) of Linux are you using?I notice on FEDORA, Ctrl+Alt+F1 will take you to a full screen TERMINAL session. Ctrl+Alt+F7 will bring you back to the GUI.Quote from: Mfoxx5528 on September 18, 2008, 01:15:50 PM

I notice on Fedora, Ctrl+Alt+F1 will take you to a full screen terminal session. Ctrl+Alt+F7 will bring you back to the GUI.

Years ago I had to get DOS NDIS2 drivers wrapped for Linux to make a network adapter work for example. Then came portable apps which is sort of a wrapping for WINDOWS where I am guessing it just attaches the dependencies to the program so that it can run stand alone without an install required etc.

I'd LIKE to use Linux more, but am faced with the issue that there are some roadblocks to by ability to use it more than I do because of reduced support for Linux over the years. ADOBE has pretty much pulled out of continued support for Linux and so if your web surfing and hit a webpage that checks for what version of FLASH your system is running and it sees the version locked version of Adobe Flash for Linux it says please update your Adobe Flash.

With WINE being able to run Windows applications and other for Windows/DOS PC programs, I was curious if a browser of say the latest version of Firefox for Windows and latest Adobe Flash could be bundled together and made into a portable app, then run that portable app through WINE or if there is a better method -or- if its already been tried and with no success due to some issue with WINE or elsewhere?

I created a WRONG file "--tot"..... and now I'm not able to cancel it because it's recognized as an option of RM command.
thanks to all.try the FOLLOWING while in the directoy --tot is in:

still I have to make practice commands regularly of RedHat Linux..


can U HELP me... to search available sitesdownload ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com and run the LIVE cd. then start practicing. the commands will be mostly the same for ubuntu as they are for red hat.

This is about what Linux versions were most popular in 2017.
This might help you decide which version you want to try next.
Here is a pretentious link:
https://www.fossmint.com/best-linux-desktop-distros-of-2017/
His list stats with Ubuntu, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE, Debian and Arch Linux.
I decline to argue. However, OTHERS give a e list that is was very different.
Look at this from a Google search:

OpenSUSE. ...
Debian. ...
Arch Linux. ...
Deepin OS. ...
Elementary OS. .

Ubuntu Linux has been around for a long time, and over the years it has proven to one of the most popular Linux distributions ever. But what has made it so popular?
A redditor recently asked that question in the Linux subreddit and got some interesting answer...

I would have thought by now nobody was saying that seriously

The earliest reference we have of "Year of Linux on Desktop" is from Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita by ITALIAN mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494.

"Sono sicuro che il prossimo anno tutti utilizzerà Linux"

To illustrate his point, Zemlin noted that 2,000 lines of code are changed daily in the Linux kernel as the pace of change accelerates.

on a daily basis to alter a kernel to me is just strangely too frequent.

I am trying to create a linux shell script that starts GFTP, the script CURRENTLY starts gftp and then loghs in, but i need to EXECUTE a PUT command once in the ftp command window. Any THOUGHTS on how to do this in the shell script. Thanks

I have a RHL guest that is running on an ESX3.5 server that is getting the error shown below:

SCSI Error: (0:0:0) Status=02h (CHECK CONDITION)

Key=6h (UNIT ATTENTION) ; FRU=00h

ASC/ASCQ=3Fh/0Eh ""

CDB: 2A 00 01 27 DC D8 00 00 08 00

The Kernel was 2.4.21-15.ELsmp and the OS was RHL 3 (Taroon Update 2) is anyone else seeing this and is there a fix for this. I have physical devices that are running the same setup that have not seen this error but just my VM devices are. Any ideas on how to fix this or what MIGHT be CAUSING it? Under VM it shows that the SCSI Controller is LSI Logic. They also have 4 CPUS and 2GB of RAM. I am wondering if this might be a kernel problem. Is this a realistic assumption?

Hi,

I am planning to set up a multi-boot environment with Windows 7 and a GNU/Linux distro (STILL undecided, lol). I am currently RUNNING Windows 7.

I read somewhere that it is better to create the NEW partition before you try installing the new OS, as opposed to doing it during the installation.

What do you RECOMMEND?

P.S. If it helps, I will probably install an Ubuntu-based specialized distro.

Setting up a dual-boot configuration is like changing flat tires. I do not do it very often.

The above question is something that comes to MIND after reading the FAQ's on how to configure a Windows-Ubuntu dual-boot situation. They SAY I need special software to create the bootable CD. Why is this?

I remember trying to install Debian not too long ago on another computer, and I did not need any additional software. I just downloaded the image and BURNED it into a blank CD. Come to think of it, I believe they included a small app to create the CD with the image download.

At any rate, I think what I am trying to ask is whether I need to get that kind of software SEPARATELY or it will likely be included in most installer IMAGES downloads for GNU/Linux distros.Software would need to support creating a Bootable Disc Image, but generally special support is not needed to burn an existing image.

perhaps the FAQ was discussing the creation of a Bootable Disc which allowed you to directly install both Operating Systems?

hi, I'd WANT to archive the whole directory. I'm thinking of usging cp -a, and not SURE what it does if while in the PROCESS of copying, some FILES got changed or deleted. Will it
case 1: stop?
case 2:
a: if file changed: ignore the changed and COPY the old file and keep copying the rest?
b: if file deleted: skip the file and keep copying the rest?
or esle?

How do i DELETE the LOG of SUSI Server so that i can CLEAR my WINDOWS. I used Gnone, if i clear the window only the MSG has been clear but the Log History is still in there.

I am a first time user. How do I install programs with linux???Most DISTROS come with plenty of programs for typical use. But if you WANT to install ADDITIONAL ONES, getting an rpm of the program is the EASIEST. It's like a windows setup.exe file. A simple command like "rpm -iv myprogram.rpm" will install myprogram. Oh, and you need to be root to install programs.

CCCIn Linux?yes. All right, you will have wait for someone familiar with Linux. you WOULD have to press the x key after you type your file hit esc the hit the x and it will delete the first character you would have to move the cursor where the letter is though or otherwise it will delete the whole word.

Hi

I have written a program that automatically mounts a floppy disk to a mountpoint in a linux machine. The program is run as a non-root USER (called 'VISION') and the MOUNT command is carried out via the 'sudo' command. However, only root can WRITE to the floppy, and I would like it so that vision can write to it as well. I have read the man pages on mount, and it is not clear to me how to do this.

TIA for any help,

Campbell
