  • fdisk (linux) partitioning raid0

    - by Silverrocker
    I'm trying to create partitions for a slackware instalation on my computer (beside Windows 7) just to have a nice distro running mostly for school but when I run fdisk and print the partitiontable I get the following message: Partition x does not end on cylinder boundary. (in my case x = 1, just using x to help googlers). I must say I'm using a raid card (AMCC 3ware 9500S SATA RAID Controller). Maybe this is the problem. How can I fix this without loosing any data?

  • What is the lightest-weight Linux distribution?

    - by kgrad
    I have a REALLY old (about 8-10 years) laptop that barely runs which I would like to put to use. I really only need it for web browsing. I want to put a very minimal OS on it, I was thinking Linux is the way to go. What is the lightest weight linux distro? The smallest I have come across so far is xPud.

  • Using /etc/services for in-house well-known ports

    - by LavaScornedOven
    I couldn't find anything much about this, but I'm interested what are pros and cons (if any) in using /etc/services for in-house software? On my Linux distro (Ubuntu 14.04) at the end of /etc/services is a comment: # Local services hinting that it could be a good thing to do. One thing that comes to mind is that having in-house ports in /etc/services would make serv database a reference point for common knowledge and much better source of default ports for applications throughout the system.

  • How to know when the kernel was last compiled?

    - by Mehmet Tuncal
    I have installed a linux distro and I "think" it is vulnerable to kernel exploits. I have to update kernel but I need to know if it is really compiled in year 2003? How can I know if additional updates are made to the kernel? Linux gandalf 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Does also "smp" mean that it is safe from latest threats or something? Thank you.

  • What's the Minimum System Spec Recommended For Developer Laptop

    - by DaveDev
    I'll be regularly running Visual Studio 2010 Professional, SQLServer Express, Office and at least 1 virtual environment running a Linux Distro. I want the machine to be snappy and responsive even when doing a reasonable amount of Development work. I want to spend what it takes for this, but I don't want to go overboard spending more than I need to. I won't be playing many games or graphics processing so i won't need a monster of a machine. Any recommendations?

  • Difference and correct usage for /tmp and /var/tmp

    - by David
    I haven't put much thought into this until now, but it seems odd that there is a /var/tmp and /tmp directories for most of the linux distro's I routinely use ( Ubuntu, Centos, Redhat ). Is there any semantic difference between the two, like when whoever designed the first file system layout, he or she thought "Not all tmp file's are created equal!" The only difference I've found for centos, is that /tmp routinely scrubs out files older then 240 hours while /var/tmp holds onto stale files for 720 hours.

  • Bookshelf viewer for Windows

    - by kokbira
    Once upon a time I used a Linux distro (I don't remember which one) and I could see files and folders in an interesting viewer mode: a bookshelf. I'm searching a software for Windows that does that, but I don't found it yet. I found that ones: FilePro Windirstat They do the work well, but I would like a more-friendly interface, more like a real bookshelf :) - i.e., not a common sequoia viewer AlternativeTo mentioned software.

  • How to manage linux workstations with policies

    - by redknight
    I am going to be administering a small network of linux based workstations for a charity institution (not all have the same distro- some are ubuntu and some are fedora). Is there something in Linux that is similar to group policy in windows?. For example I would like to standardize the wallpapers - have only firefox as a browser - default VLC as the media player etc etc. Thank you, any suggestions are very appreciated.

  • Download specific kernels for distros

    - by ant2009
    Hello, I am running CentOS 5.3. I am wondering where I can download the latest kernel for this distribution. I went to www.centos.org but could see any kernel download only the complete distribution is available to download. I just want the kernel. Kernels on the www.kernels.org are the vanilla kernels. I am wondering where to download for the specific distro? Many thanks for any advice,

  • Can Android 1.6 devices be upgraded to Android 2.x for free?

    - by TimothyP
    I'm a bit confused on what the license/deployment policy for Android is really like. Is it an open source OS in the same sense as let's say a normal Linux distro ? If I have an Android 1.6 device, can I simply install the latest version of Android on it free of charge, or is there a lot more to it ? I take it, it's not just a download and install workflow.

  • how to generate random numbers under OpenWRT?

    - by user62367
    With a "normal" (i mean "full") linux distro, it works just fine: sleep $(echo "$[ ($RANDOM % 10 ) ]") ok, it waits for about 0-9 sec but under OpenWRT [not using bash, rather "ash"]: $ sleep $(echo "$[ ($RANDOM % 9 ) ]") sleep: invalid number '$[' $ and why: $ echo "$[ ($RANDOM % 9 ) ]" $[ ( % 9 ) ] $ So does anyone has a way to generate random numbers under OpenWRT, so i can put it in the "sleep"? Thank you

  • Using more recent kernel for Xen Dom0 in production.

    - by thelsdj
    Does anyone have experience running Xen dom0 on a more recent kernel than the stock 2.6.18? What host distro are you running? What release of Xen (or hg/git changeset)? What set of patches are you using on kernel source? (Has anyone got the pvops dom0 stuff working in production or is it better to stick with something like the SUSE patches? Any other tips and tricks to running a more recent kernel version as dom0 would be helpful.

  • Linux Program Source Management

    - by Blackninja543
    This particular problem has little do with SubVersion Repositories and more to do with the management of installed programs. My question revolves around the problem of installing a program from source. If I where to build a distro with no package management system what possibilities would I have for maintaining the program is up to date. My only idea would be to keep a record of all the programs installed from source and perform a periodic check to identify if a new version is out.

  • Install boot loader with no operating system on hard drive

    - by Jeet Robert
    I am trying to reset — or rather, install — a boot loader on my hard drive. I initially had a Linux distro installed, which I completely wiped out. Now, when I try to install Windows 7 from my USB, my machine says Missing operating System And when I don't boot with USB, it says "bootmgr is missing" So now I am wondering, how I can install a boot loader, so I can install Windows 7?

  • Wrap app with dynamic libraries into one large static app

    - by progo
    I have an old program that kind of depends on older dynamic libraries. They tend to get upgraded easily with distro's updates. I figured that there would be a script with using ldd that would gather the libs needed and create one bigger, statically linked application that wouldn't break so easily. If I could do this, alot of older KDE libraries could be removed from my system and easen my life. Thanks!

  • Can a FreePBX backup be restored to a different version?

    - by Tim Long
    I run a small PBX based on the FreePBX distro of Asterisk. The installation has been steadily upgraded but for various reasons, we want to start again on a new server with a clean install from the distribution media. Will I be able to take a backup from the old server and restore it to the new server, even though the installs are different versions? How sensitive are FreePBX backups to the build version? Is it possible to get at least a partial restore?

  • Learn to use both sides of the keyboard

    - by brewerja
    I'd like to force myself to use the correct (right side or left side) Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys depending on what letter I'm typing. For instance I'd like to use the right Shift key when typing 'A' and the left Shift key when typing 'P'. I find myself using only the left side a lot and I'm looking for a way to set the mappings on my machine so that it only responds to correct pairings. I'm running Fedora, but any Linux distro support would be an acceptable answer.
