What is the problem?anybody pls HELP.... Hello,

This error occurs because the program libtool is not installed on your system. Type the following command on a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ):
Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install libtool
It will ask for your password, do type in.

NOTE: It isn't necessary to start a new thread on the board for this issue. SINCE I recommended that you install Gyachi on a previous thread you posted, you could continue it there. This ensures that people find what they need in ONE thread.

Can someone walk me through the process of reinstalling Vista? I am not trying to dual boot or anything. I just want to get it back. I have all of the necessary drivers and the OS disk. I am stuck at the part where I need to choose which partition or hard DRIVE I want to download the OS to. When I try to pick one, it says I need drivers, and when I TRIED to download them off the driver disk which was included when I bought my computer, it just was not working. Someone PLEASE help me. I am fairly knowledgeable with computers, but this is just frustrating me. THANKS in advance for you assistance.

-ECR0Try getting help in the Vista section. This is the Linux section, I don't know much about Vista.New topic was created. This one will be locked.

Firstly, I hope this is posted in the right place.

Now, to my problem.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with 3GB RAM and a 2.1 Ghz Intel Dual Core Processor. (Don't know if that might help or not). I had Windows Vista natively installed, but I had a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it came out. What I wanted to do, though, was dual boot that with Ubuntu. So, I shrunk the C: partition down to about 66 GB and created two new partitions, each about 30 GB; one for Ubuntu, the other for globally accessible general storage. That was all fine. I set up Ubuntu and got it running. However, yesterday I did some disk management and *accidently* deleted the Ubuntu partition and the globally accessible partition. (By accident I really mean: I didn't know how else to remove Ubuntu and put on Kubuntu (Now I know it was ppossible to go from Ubuntu to Kubuntu easily, but oh well). So, I deleted the partition thinking it would be fine). However, when I attempted to reboot, I got this as a recovery terminal:

Code: [Select]Error: partition not found.
Grub rescue>
Not knowing what to do, I went to my desktop and downloaded Kubuntu, which I planned on doing anyway. I have it on a USB drive created with UNetBootin. I was able to boot off of it by pressing F12 at start-up and running the USB drive. Kubuntu shows up in its demo mode. However, when I go to install it, it gets stuck on this:

Code: [Select]Scanning Disks... 47%
It won't go any further than that, right after the keyboard select. I believe this has to do something with what I did when I deleted those partitions. So, right now I can't boot into Windows to do anything, although I can ACCESS all those files through /media/OS .

I've tried running the Windows 7 INSTALLER CD again, but it gives a GRUB error and the rescue console comes up again.

Does anyone know how I can overwrite GRUB back to the Windows Boot Loader, fix my partitions, and from there re-install a clean version of Kubuntu on one of the partitions? Any help is greatly appreciated as I really need to fix my laptop, and I don't want to have to boot from a USB everytime

Thanks!

EDIT: Just as a note, those two partitions are now just ~60 GB of free space, nothing else.Quote from: The Chasm on June 05, 2010, 08:37:47 AM

I guess for now I'll just go install it under Windows with Wubi.

... it keeps trying to download the AMD 64 version ...

... do you know what could be causing the HDD problems when I try to install Kubuntu?

i am trying to in stall DSL on my 120 MB usb but i think i repartitioned it incorrectly and i am not sure how to contie you can you give me step by step way to do it i have ubuntu 9.10DSL is a type of Internet connection. Installing DSL on a flash DRIVE makes no sense. What do you mean?

What does "contie" mean?

Please use some punctuation in your writing. Hem mean the Dämn Small Linux, a Live boot CD.
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Rather that install it on the hard drive, it would be better to put it on a small USB flash drive. Then set the BIOS to boot from USB.
Or just boot from the CD, it is very quick.Aw, Dämn, ER, shucks. anyway how do i get it to boot i think i may have deleted the PARTITION on my usbYou have to change the boot order in BIOS. Do you know how to do that?i can not get it on to the usb?This was copied from the link given below.

Requirements

Method IV has unique requirements. Methods I through III need:

* You need to know your USB drive letter. These guides assume that your USB Flash Drive is "F:". Please replace "F" with the correct drive letter.
* You need a USB flash drive (also called flash disk, pendrive, USB stick...), 64 MB or bigger
* Download the current dsl-embedded.zip from a mirror (49MB - The Torrent is recommended, and is often the fastest)
* Get & install Syslinux version 3.00 or greater (read the Syslinux instructions for installation)

[edit]
USB Drive Notes

You might look for your USB stick on this list. If you have comments about a particular USB drive that doesn't WORK well when installing DSL from Windows ... add that here.

* For the record, stay away from cheap, knockoff USB keys...they're fine for Windows and stuff like that but apparently they don't always like DSL. (thanks to SaidinUnleashed for this advice.)
* San Disk Cruzer drives are a special case, and the built in software "CD Emulation" must be turned off. (anonymous, 2 Jan 2008)
* SD cards are perfect for DSL and can be used just like USB Drives. They usually have higher transfer speeds, and many laptops have a built-in reader for added convenience. Also, almost no bios problems. Install the same way as a USB Drive.

[edit]
Method I

Follow the instructions from PendriveLinux

Notes

* If you are running Windows Vista, remember to start cmd.exe as Administrator, otherwise the normal cmd.exe won't be able to access the MBR of your USB drive.
* Booting from USB may or may not work on your computer, mostly dependent on its age and bios setup. Some systems may have problems booting from USB drives formatted as FAT32. Changing the drive format to FAT16 may allow DSL to boot. To try it, change your format argument to:

FORMAT F: /fs:FAT

how can i access windows partitions while i USING redhate 9.0. whinch FILE sustem should i slect in linux ext3 or vfat plz any body help me
Many versions of Linux can read the NTFS, which is used by Windows.
But Windows does not read the Linux file system.
What do you want to do?
Which version of Linux?
Which version of Windows?

You can, if you want, create a small FAT32 partition and share files between the two systems. If something goes wrong, it souled only affect that partition.

Both Windows and Linux can read Flash drives.So you could use a Flash DRIVE an not have to alter anything. You can get a&GB flash now a t Wall Mart. So it is hardly WORTH the effort and risk of altering your partitions on the Hard Drive. Or by two of them. and backup your most important data.Hello,

The Ext2 IFS For Windows provides Windows with a driver of the Ext2 (and Ext3 too, read the FAQ on that page) filesystems, so that Windows can read the partitions. It supports Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Vista and Server 2008. You may want to try that. TheUnixGuy,
Thanks for the oink!

Hi GUYS.. need expert advice and help..

here's my PROBLEM:

i have this media player called TVIX.. i heard that the system used by this TVIX is linux..
the problem is the hard drive inside my TVIX is corrupted.. Hard drive is formatted by windows NTFS..
how i know its corrupted? coz windows detects it as RAW HD and windows hangs up whenever i tried to
browse the drive.. i was told that file allocation table is damaged..
The weird thing is whenever i plug the TVIX to my LCD the files is still there(movies, pictures and songs)
and i can still watch and listen to my files inside the TVIX..

my question is can UBUNTU recover this files so i can transfer my files to my extra HD..and how do i do it??

and can ubuntu format the damaged HD so i can use it again??

Please help.. TIA
Hi

Ubuntu can read NTFS and I've used it in the passed as a LIVE CD/USB to recover files from a broken system with NTFS. I BELIEVE it can also format to NTFS aswell.

Hope this helps

I have been using dual boot since ubuntu 6.04, and everything has worked fine... but I removed WIN XP when I installed ubuntu 10.04 and now I cannot seem to get that online. Everything is the same, except for the os.

I have TWO pc's, both are attached to a router by way of ethernet. one pc has ubuntu, and this pc has xp.

I have removed the router, and tried connecting directly, but that didn't WORK either.

Did you have it plugged into the internet while installing?

Type lspci in terminal and LIST you output here.-Did you have it plugged into the internet while installing?

yes. however, i removed both os' from the pc (XP and ubuntu 9.10). i reformated pc, and installed ubuntu 10.04. after installing, i was asked to update, and i chose ok, however, pc responded 'unable to connect'.

:~$I see no Ethernet controller in your list. Are you using an onboard Ethernet/network adpater or an add-on card? If it's onboard (i.e. integrated with the motherboard), I suggest you access your BIOS settings to verify it's not disabled in the BIOS. If it's onboard and you've confirmed it's not disabled in the BIOS, then you might find that installing an add-on is the solution. An inexpensive D-Link DFE 530TX+ could do the trick. I've got one in one of my computers and it's been reliable. -Are you using an onboard Ethernet/network adpater or an add-on card?

-If it's onboard (i.e. integrated with the motherboard), I suggest you access your BIOS settings to verify it's not disabled in the BIOS.

I went to BIOS, but I didn't really know what I was looking for.
When I say onboard vs. add-on card, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?-When I say onboard vs. add-on card, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

I am sorry to say, but you are ABSOLUTELY right. Well, suffice to say, getting the card (see link in my previous post) and installing it in your computer would probably solve your problem. Since you apparently have no experience doing such hardware upgrades, perhaps you should have a computer repair shop install it. Quote from: soybean on June 17, 2010, 08:05:07 AM

What does that "bazaar booting screen" show?

I INSTALLED MINT and It created me as a temporary USER with no privileges. How do I change to a ROOT user with ADMIN privileges? Hello,

Myself never tried Mint but then you always have sudo. Not a very good idea to mess around the desktop of root.

If you need to add more users, use useradd.

Ok so today i downloaded LINUX, trying to install it on my pc. I burned it to a CD and ran it on my computer, i thought it was working but DPMS DOS popped up....
My system will NOT run ANY bootable disks. Even manufactured. I CHECKED my BIOS and made sure it was set for disk. i thought maybe it was my BIOS and thought of TRYING to reinstall it. Im running

Emachine, 2005

intel

t5026 model motherboard.

WHen the dpms dos loads, it COMES up as DR-A:\ |Which flavor of Linux did you download?

What program did you use to burn the ISO to the disk?

What speed did you use to burn the image?

Do you have two optical drives?

Did the optical DRIVE ever work?

When you changed the BOOT order in BIOS, did you save changes (F10)?

Hello.
I have been using LINUX MINT now for about 6 months & absolutely LOVE it.
There is one problem that I am having & that is with my HP printer, I downloaded the drivers to use with this O/S and for awhile it worked then it stopped and I can't figure out what happened.
The printer is a HP PSC 1500 all in one.
Any ideas??Did you try to install the printer again?
HP does a LOT of printer updates on line and it may have damaged your print drivers.hmm no I didn't, I'll give a try.
thanks for the reply.

Take care & have a great day.

Hello everybody !!

I am doing a project called " CLOUD COMPUTING-Security for Private Cloud Environment "

For which we had to install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud which will be there in Ubuntu Server Edition CD.

We have to install this in 2 computers, One as CLUSTER and the other as NODE.

This is the first time i am USING UBUNTU. I have no previous experience in Cloud Computing as well. There is no one to guide me as well.

I just have installed CLUSTER and NODE, and installed the Desktop using the command
SUDO APT-GET INSTALL UBUNTU-DESKTOP

there is no clear help in the UBUNTU website too.

So please. somebody help me in UNDERSTANDING UBUNTU, COMMANDS USED

PARTICULARLY IN UBUNTU ENTERPRISE CLOUD, GUIDANCE FOR THIS PROJECT, ANY

HELP RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.

I REALLY hope that i will be helped here.

I THANK everybody for your help.
Hello,

What drags you into that project? Have you ever used Linux before this? I would suggest learning Linux and having some base in networking before diving into that project. It would help if your topic was more specific.

Here is a good general review of this subject.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-10382984-264.html
Note: This is maybe the best review of what is going on.

You can search Google for keywords:
Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
Ubuntu 9.10

This link may have some information you want
http://www.vartweet.com
This is another general coverage of the topic.
http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source/ubuntu-linux-adds-private-cloud-backing-494

You have three big obstacles.
1. You are not familiar with Ubuntu
2. You are not familiar with Nodes and Clusters
3. The project is new to the Ubuntu community and is up against more EXPERIENCED plays, such as Red Hat.

Not to mention that Cloud computing is still a young industry.

Hope you have a backup plan. No, not your data, I mean your JOB!

Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I've tried all i possibly can with Ubuntu, Mint, Slax, and Fedora. it is not for everyone.I've had dual and tri boot set ups. I've tried them in the VM Player, I've ran them as a live CD from a CD and from a USB drive. If you understand XP or Vista and you have no problems with either one of the two, stick with what you know and more important than that, what works. WINDOWS works completely. There are too many THINGS missing in Linux and too many things that don't work. I know it is free, but still, my GOSH, how much grief can a man TAKE before it is time to give up? I tried for about six months. Like I said before, it is not for everyone. Good Luck all future Linux Distro users and God Speed.Quote from: kiddo1972 on February 21, 2010, 04:49:21 PM

Windows works completely.

Hi! I recently had a BSOD with Windows XP Pro and changed my OS to Linux. I installed the Hannah Montana one which is based on Kubuntu 9.4, and then upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10.

I managed to install the Firefox browser, but I can't install Flash PLAYER. I have tried heaps of different things to no avail.

I have no idea what I am doing. Does anyone KNOW how I can make it work? Also, if it isn't already obvious, I am very bad at computering so if you could dumb it down for me, that would be very GOOD. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello there,

It isn't all that hard, really. Firstly, you're running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?

If its 32-bit:
Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extrasgets many useful TOOLS INCLUDING flash player. Or to just get Flash Player:
Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Now if its 64-bit:
Download Flash Player from here.
Install it to ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Good luck

Is anyone here also a member of JustLinux?

I also wanted to join that forum as well, but the question for registration is based on a question that cannot be answered as it does not come on the screen!! For some unknown reason, the top of the screen is not displayed.....
I have changed my screen pixels, tried both IE and FireFox, the problem is the same.

To just contact the administrators, you have to answer the same question!!!!! Well thought out that one!!!

I guess they get few new members......

I also have taken screen SHOTS demonstrating the problem in both IE & FF.

Regards

Der Fisherman
Can you post the screen shots?Is it asking you for the third heading?.Yes!!Hopefully here are the screenshots!

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]I guess the most obvious question is, do you have JavaScript enabled? I NOTICE to the right in the screenshots there is a box that says internet.com and has a list of links (IT, Developer, Internet News..... ) I'm guessing the answer to the question in your FIRST screenshot question would be Internet News. Type news in the box.
And i would delete all those pictures with your e-mail address in before you get spammed.That was the first thing I tried, plus a load of other gueses, NONE worked.

Thanks for your interest though.

regards

PS Can one of you guys try and join this forum and see what happends?What FF addons do you have? I was getting the same goofy output until I disabled AdBlockPlus, at which point it looks fine.

(the heading is labelled "News" btw)Many thanks to all that helped me.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a small, but easy to use (for a person who normally uses Win XP), linux distro. I have a 1.85 GB flashdrive that I just formatted and I've always wanted to try Linux.
Requirements:
1. Doesn't have to be too small. (~50-200MB)
2. NEEDS to be user-friendly
3. It would be nice if it came pre-packaged with programs (Firefox, etc.)
4. Easy installation (or at least easy to follow instructions).

Linux Mint would be my reccomendation. Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 21, 2010, 05:51:50 PM

Linux Mint would be my reccomendation.

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-linux-mint-install-from-windows/

Linux Mint iso link was dead, so I found the newer version, but I will report back in ~2 hours.

OK, I know I used the same portable-installer thing to install a later version of the ISO, and it works.

OK, I know I used the same portable-installer thing to install a later version of the ISO, and it works.

There are others...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions

I have used DSL, Knoppix and Puppy.

Pulpy has easy instructions to put it on a USB.

It works! Well, it at least installed fine.. I'm just feeling apprehensive about changing the bios settings, and in fact, I doubt it will even stay changed. Deepfreeze can be a real pain in the you-know-where sometimes...

Is there a way I can use it in an emulator, similar to JVM (except for some reason, that didn't work)?

I have a state-of-the-art computer, yet Linux Ubuntu 9.1 is very slow to start up and painfully slow to respond to mouse commands. What can I do to make it move faster?Please post the SPECS of your MACHINE, to give us some ideas as to what the problem might be. Most likely you need a graphics driver or a compatible graphics card.

But post your specs, we can't help you until you do. I have a Radeon ATI 1 G. Graphics card. Intel EXTREME Motherboard with 2.67 G. Intel Core i5 750. It is a quad-core processor. 4 G. of MEMORY. Need any other specs?QUOTE from: spock on June 03, 2010, 07:03:26 PM

The model is XFX, if that means anything.

The exact graphics card model. I've never heard of a Radeon 1 G.

i/m running 9.10 with FF browser&have all my bookmarks ect.... the WAY i want UPDATE MANAGER has 10.4 ready to install if i do will i lose everthing &have to start all over as its taken me 6 MONTHS to set 9.10 the way it is i/m happy with it change or sit pretty?You should be able to do the upgrade via Update Manager and not "lose everything". Still, be sure the backup your important files before proceeding with this. Here's article which is a good reference: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/04/28/upgrading-from-ubuntu-9-10-to-10-4/It should leave everything intact that is important (like installed programs, bookmarks, files etc). But just like soybean I recommend up anything the is irreplaceable. this may be a old post but it does pretty much leave everything as it was.

I am looking to build a Linux computer. I need to know what video card to use. I have an EVGA 8400 card that I have tried to use and have had problems with it on Linux. It works fine with Windows. I loaded the drivers that Linux Mint OFFERED and they didn't work very good. Playing a DVD it would hang and stutter. It worked fine with the on board video. Then I tried to PLAY Super Gamer. I was told by on disk that it wouldn't play because I needed a better video card. It wouldn't even load or INSTALL. It is a live DVD. Then the other thing is the mother board. I planed to use a DG31GL but I don't know if that will work well with Linux. I have it setting on a shelf as a back up for the wife's computer. What would be the best motherboard to use? I plan to use two gigs of ram and a dual core CPU from Intel. Any input on this build would be of help. I know that Linux Mint will run on old stuff, I just WANT to know what it will do using equipment that is new. Thank you much for your time.I believe the DG31GL should work. This info may be helpful: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg31gl/sb/CS-029514.htm

If Mint does not work well with it, I suggest you try Ubuntu.I saw that on Intel's site. It just didn't list Mint. I was just WANTING to know if any one had first hand information on witch mother board to use from Intel. As I said in the first post the video card is the big deal. I don't know what to use. The one I have will not work with Linux Mint with the drivers they give.

I have a HP LASERJET P2055dn printer and i need to install this printer to my computer. I try to adding printer but it failed.

I have an external tape drive INSTALLED on a UNIX server system. How I can I read the tape drive ?

I use the "tar" command but it doesn't SEEM to be of any help.What is the MESSAGE you can on terminal , it may be syntax error or path is incorrect

You can try to run the command

I have a question related to granting permissions.

I have created a directory tree, 3 levels and have GRANTED the required permissions
to each directory. However when I create a file in them, the file does not inherit the permissons
and I am having to manually set them for each new file which is time consuming.

I an using 'chmod' to set the permissions.

How can I set the permissions for the FIRST parent directory and have all lower level
directories and files (existing and any new files, directories) have the same permissions ?

Is this even possible ? I have reviewed the chmod -R option but I'm not SURE if indicating
recursive is what I should be using....use "chmod -R 777 parentDirName"Thanks for your reply.. I ran the cmd per your instructions and all child directoires / files did have the permissions
applied to them. However, I created a new file in one of the directories and it still did not ASSUME the same permissions as the parent directory...I had to rerun the cmd to set the permissions.Quote from: BRIANH on JULY 13, 2010, 03:08:19 PM

.... I created a new file in one of the directories and it still did not assume the same permissions as the parent directory...I had to rerun the cmd to set the permissions.

I have a web site that has the FOLLOWING directory structure

/
/private_html
/public_html
/secret
/images

How can I deny a user FTP access to the "secret" folder but still allow access to the "public_html" directory and the "images" directory?

I have sensitive code (.php files) in that "secret" folder so I don't want the DESIGNER to have access to it... But, I still need to allow web browsers to be able to open and view the files.

I'm utilizing cpanel and WHM but I also have root access to the server.

Thanks in advance!
What level of control do you have over groups and users? In most shared hosting setups, you will have only one user and one group available to you. That user will also be the user under which the webserver runs and the FTP access is created. In this case you could not disallow access via FTP and yet allow it to the webserver.

If you DO have greater control, proceed down this route:

Let's say the webserver runs as user "rjm", group "rjm".
Create a new FTP user for your designer, user "designer", group "designer".
Set ownership on all web files/folders to user "rjm", group "designer" except the secret folder - set that to rjm/rjm. GIVE group "designer"R/W access to all other files and folders.
Ensure secret folder only has R/W access for rjm/rjm - not for anyone else.

There may be other WAYS of solving this problem incidentally, if you're WILLING to say what kind of secret data these PHP files contain/reference.

Recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 and am very happy with Unity. However, just in the last couple of days, I find my left launcher and top taskbars changing to a weird YELLOW COLOR after a few minutes of use. The buttons are basically gone, yet if I hover over them I get what looks like the ilnfo bubble. Clicking on that will brilng up what was on that button. I just have to try to REMEMBER what was written on that particular button. If I go to the very extreme RIGHT on the top bar and click I get the 'shut down' drop down. Then I get the little window asking if I want to continue and again if I click the lower right it does shut down.
Anyone else ever experience anything like this? I changed the video card because I the download screen said I needed better hardware to use Unity. Afteer that everything looks greeat, except for this 'yellow' thingy.I 'Blundered' into the answer....Somehow the NVidia DRIVERS didn't install correctly and therefore after a short time I had 'issues'.
Have re-installed 11.10 and for 3 days now I've had no problem.I'm glad to hear that you got that sorted out.

Please Help

I want to run WINDOWS in FEDORA Core 2.DO you want to access windows folders? TRY Samba

???what command line would I use to LIST FILES in a directory older than 5 days and move them to to ANOTHER named oldfiles (I can move them but cannot COME up with the sytax to list them by date or age)
Thanks,
GaryTry this:

$find . -mtime +5 > newfile

What this command does is: Find, from the root, all of the files MODIFIED more than 5 days ago and redirects it into a file called newfile.

Hope that helps.

I'm new in USING linux, so I need help from you guys.
I'm currently using FEDORA CORE 3. My friend installed it for me. The thing is that I changed my user directory in the "User and Groups CONFIGURATION" so that my home directory changed from /home/steve to /home/steven. But I did not realize that I need to make change to my actual directory name, so the next TIME I reboot to FEDORA, it gives me ERROR that /home/steven does not exist, and I cannot log in to desktop to change my directory name.
I have tried to use FailSafe session, and I was able to go to the shell that's the farthest thing I know, I don't know what to do next?
Can anyone help me?See if this link helps you>>http://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/Linux.htm

How can I use the (Unix) COMMAND - COMPRESS in a Linux environment?
Reason: the resulting file will be copied into a remote Unix SYSTEM.
I usually use the gzip command for Linux, but this isn't available in Unix, for the destination user to execute.
test reply1) You can use compress command in Linux by following command.

compress filename

The resultant file will be filename.Z & u can use uncompress command for the same in linux.

2) If you are having Unixware 7.00, you can put gzip & gunzip in /usr/bin, and both the gzip & gunzip will WORK in Unix system also.

Hope this solves ur query.

ok one of my frineds took my thumb drive and made a partion under knopx and you can OLNY see it under linux but i can not figure out how to delet the partion so i can have the full woping 128 mb of space back on my thumb dirve the partion is lavled as sda2 so if theres any thing else you need to know to help just let me know and think you in advaniceif you can get to a bash command line, use cfdisk or FDISK to correct the ERROR. if typing "cfdisk" doesnt open the app or you get an error message, then type "cfdisk /DEV/*" where * is whatever partition label u are running, LIKE hda1 etc. from there, just select the partition and delete.

Well, I was wondering if you could compile files written in the Qbasic LANGUAGE in the terminal(that's what its called in KNOPPIX) like you can with other languages. Can LINUX do that?;Dhappy NEW yr ,

For anyone interested in trying Linux was recently introduced to Dynebolic, an instant bootable GNU/LInux ran off the bootable CD or DVD. You can download the ISO from their site and create your own CD or DVD from the below page.

http://dynebolic.org

Was really impressed on how much they packed on the image.

Was able to boot the CD on multiple computers and have full GUI, mouse, keyboard, and even sound and Internet access. Did have issues unfortunately on one system with it DETECTING the Logitech mouse. However was still able to navigate using the keyboard (F12 key same as right-click on desktop) and I could just hook up another mouse and have it working.

Has multiple media players, gimp, blender, inkscape, gphoto, GQview, Firefox and other browsers, thunderbird and other e-mail clients, IRC clients, Gaim, VNC, samba and so much more. Pretty impressive.

Also able to use the file browser to browse files on the hard drive for those times you need to troubleshoot a computer and even NEST your environment on a USB key or hard drive.There are few other distros out there that are similar too.

Knoppix - probably one of the best known
Kanotix - best on Knoppix, but with slightly better hardware DETECTION and much easier boot options
Backtrack - a penetration testing toolkit, full of network tools (didn't automatically detect a PCMCIA network card on one laptop I tried it on though)

Plus SuSE, Ubuntu and many others have "live" CDs that will achieve a similar purpose.

I recently used Kanotix to bring a server BACK to life, when one of THREE hard drives had failed. Got all the data live very quickly via Samba. Happy customer.

hi guys
how are you all..
i have some questions i installed Fedora core 3 and i have OS XP i wanna make at least 10 seconds at the bootloader and
i didn't UNDERSTAND how to install my modem driver and i don't know where to get my modem drivers

thanks in ADV. :DRe: bootloader

Just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the timeout VALUE to what you desire.

Re: modem

I am interviewing for a new position and the detail INDICATES " ability to USE a LA 3 " operating system? Is there such a thing or is it a typo? If there is such an OS, can you TELL me about this PLATFORM versus OTHERS?

Appreciate your help!

Kodiak33Never heard of it. What else does the job description say?

Code: [Select]cat file.txt | tr '()' '::'

hmm..thanks for all your replies. It really help me a lot.

But, i still dont know how to append those words into a row.

ERROR : No input. (error description for account below)
ERROR : AccNo=1111 ServiceID=1
ERROR : Service error. (error description for account below)
ERROR : AccNo=2222 ServiceID=1


the problem is, i want to append those words into a row so i can put in the database.

ERROR : No input. AccNo=111
ERROR : Service error. AccNo=2222

i tried to use
cat file.txt > file2.txt

but it just append those word into another row. Can i put the account no in another column of a row? Or is it not possible because of the error description is not fixed and can be different for each account. So, it is not possible for me to use `cut` cmd. how can i do it

Useless use of cat

Code: [Select]paste 2 1 > new.txt

Quote

awk -F: '($3 == "error description for account below"){error = $2}($3 != "error description for account below"){print $2 error}'

for $3 and error ... is it a variable u declare in the awk cmd or is it referring to the column of the data.

Got a quick one...is BROWSING from a live CD any safer than from the system on the HD? From VIRUSES &AMP; such? Yes I have all the anti this & that but was just curious.In short, yes, probably. Your live CD is a "disposable" operating system. If you do not make USE of the hard drives for storage of data, any changes a virus may make will be lost once the computer is turned off. Plus, you're presumably using a Linux distro, and Linux is less virus-prone than Windows anyway.Yep...Zenwalk Gnu. A friend told me it might be more compatible with my old machine, & so far so good. Looks LIKE I got lots of new gadgets to learn. If I can get used to it then I may insall it o a separate HD. Thanks!Enjoy the ride!

i have recntly loaded aix on a server, i have added the ip ADDRESS and EVERYTHING, but when i logged out and tried to log back in, i get this message: dt MESSAGING SYSTEM cannot be started. the ip address in /etc/hosts is correct, other than that i cannot think of anything that is wrong.As far as I know, experience of AIX is fairly limited round here. I'm one of the Unix/Linux regulars, but have never had a play with AIX, sorry.There should be an option to do a command line login. Once you've logged in that way, you should be able to find the ERROR log for your last GUI login. That should give you the detail you need.

Choose your favorite linux distributionWhat is the point of "I don't use Linux"?

8-)fffreakUse the right DISTRO for the JOB. Eg:

Ubuntu for most desktop purposes.
VectorLinux for older/slower harder.
CentOS/TinySofa for servers.I use Windows for the most part because i play GAMES. But Kubuntu is my favourite distro.I started using SuSe because that's what my employer rebadges as Java Desktop Server.

But now they've partnered with Intel, I'll probably go back to using Solaris x86. Especially as you can run linux zones with the latest Solaris 11. (I'm currently experimenting with build 56 beta version of Solaris 11)
I am just learning linux myself. just general stuff. I used OpenSuse 10.1 and I just loved it.
but Ubuntu took over my vote just coz' of apt-get First visit here...just downloaded the Zenwalk GNU this morning (live CD version) to try on my antique here. Works great with only 450Mghz processor & 160 Mgb ram.
Its a 400+ mb download but with lots of features & the ability to tinker right on the disk. Picked up all my hardware with no problems, & boots in a couple mins. on mine.
Ive got copies of the ubantu that were sent to me but my system is too slow for it. Comes with firefox but you can program it to use any browser you choose it says.
Puppy 2.14 because it's light, very fast and can load entirely in RAM.
Can give a retired Windows machine new life.
Easiest wireless configuration that I've done. (v2.14BETA)

For the big, plush variety I like SuSE 10.0 and Kubunto 6.06 LTS
I VOTED for Puppy because I think ramdrive is the future and it's fun to see how fast it is compared to spinning disk technology.By the way, I found this neat little distro called 'feather' linux. It's a lot like DSL or Puppy, but, in a way, better.

hi again.... as usual i'm here to seek help. hope all of you expert can guide me here

so.... i have a folder that contain many files. These file contain data that is needed to be inserted to db. I would like to append this filename into the file as ANOTHER column of data. but i dont know how to append this file name.

Folder A
actA.txt
actB.txt
actC.txt

in every act* file, the format of data is like this (example below is actA.txt)

act111 61897689
act222 61891791
act333 66688844

if can, i would like to combine all those txt file into one, which i'll use

cat act* > allAct.txt

the output i desire is like this (take the file name and add another column into data)

act111 61897689 actA
act222 61891791 actA
act333 66688844 actA
act555 45454545 actB
act777 54545544 actB
act999 22222656 actC

can it be done? or should i just seperate those file like below. (but i still dont know how to do it)

actA.txt
act111 61897689 actA
act222 61891791 actA
act333 66688844 actA

actB.txt
act111 61897689 actA
act222 61891791 actA
act333 66688844 actA



PLEASE help me coz i've tried it for several WEEKS but still cant find it solutions. All of your help and reply i appreciated and in advance thank you for all your helpIf this is a class project, which tools have you been taught to use so far?

If this is not a class project, are you open to us providing a solution using a scripting language? (Shell script, PHP, Perl, etc.)This is not class project. I'm doing development for organization i'm working right now to do some reporting for the company data. I'm new staff here and this is the FIRST time for me in script(unix) environment beacuse it is used here. I never knew and never be in project that involve shell script. More familiar with PHP, and Microsoft product i guess.

I need shell script language as the current program that support the data used it too. Please provide me solution in shell script. If u cant, just give me guidline and I can explore it myself afterward. I'm only familiar with cat, awk command. But i dont think it is possible to solve my problem doesnt it??

The solution i tried before

VAR=`ll -lrt act* | awk '{print $9}' #this will invoke the file name into variable VAR

then i try, to combine all the files

cat $VAR > act_all.txt

if put it into another column using cat awk command, the output was like below

the output (wrong)
act111 61897689 actA
act222 61891791 actB
act333 66688844 actC
act555 45454545
act777 54545544
act999 22222656


output(needed)
act111 61897689 actA
act222 61891791 actA
act333 66688844 actA
act555 45454545 actB
act777 54545544 actB
act999 22222656 actC

The amount(count) of data in each file is vary from each other. It count is different for each file, but will carry out the same format

I would appreciate if you're willing to help. Thanks


Code: [Select]for f in act*
do
SED "s/$/$f/" $f >> new1
done

how can i GET FILE size in ls command in UNIX ......

thanxcheck the ls MAN page. the -s option can print the size of files in block.
another way is to combine with awk, eg
Code: [Select] ls -l | awk '{print $5, $9}'
