Debian Configuration :: Make A Cron Job That Mounts A 2nd Local Hard Drive?
Jul 1, 2011I am making backups and I need to make a cron job that mounts a 2nd local hard drive.
It is not listed in my fstab file and I mount it manually in nautilus (having to type a password). It is designated as /dev/sdb1 and /media/repo when it is mounted. Can I get cron to mount it and then add the password or do I have to add it to fstab?
Ubuntu Networking :: Get Network Drive To Mount As A Local Drive?
Aug 2, 2010I was trying to figure out how to get my network drive to mount as a local drive on my computer. This was back on 9.10. Since I've upgraded to 10.04, my boot process halts and tells me (paraphrasing) /shared is not ready to mount. To continue, pres S to skip or M to manually mount the drive.
Well, I have it mounting now through GVFS and I don't need this in my startup anymore. Frankly, it's just annoying that it won't boot into Ubuntu right away. So, what's the startup file I need to edit to remove the attempt to mount the network drive?
Ubuntu Installation :: Installing From ISO On Local Drive?
Aug 16, 2010I am trying to install ubuntu from an ISO on a FAAT32 Partition. Is there a way of booting into the FAT32 partition with the ISO on it, and mount it to install from, from the Debian installer ?I have been searching for over a month now and still have not found anything that gives some information on how to do that. I remember that i was able to make a rescue disk for Fedora 5 and use the installer from it and select the partition and then the iso i wanted to use.

Jun 18, 2011I had the idea to cache writes to my nfs filesystem on my local hard drive.
It seems CacheFS exists to cache reads, but not writes to nfs.
I would imagine that if I could cache writes to my nfs on a local drive I could have a fast system, but keep all my files where I want them on my network.
I'm thinking about this because I am planning on buying a SSD, and I would imagine if I could set things up this way the system could be lightening fast while keeping things on the network. Currently if I copy a large file (hundreds of MB) it is quite slow, with an SSD and caching, I would imagine the copy could be very fast.

Debian Installation :: Installing Debian On The Second Drive Without Messing With The Windows Drive?
Mar 21, 2011I was wondering. Up till now whenever I installed Linux I've either dual booted with Windows off 1 HDD, or installed straight Linux by itself. However, I recently purchased a second HDD for my computer, and was wondering how I could go about installing Debian on the second drive without messing with the windows drive? Right now I have Windows 7 installed on my 1TB drive, and would like to try and install Debian on my second (750GB) drive. Would it be possible to install Debian on the second drive, install grub on that drive's MBR so I could choose between Debian and Win7 without touching the MBR on the 1TB Windows drive?
I'm paranoid about messing up my Seven installation, but really want to be able to load into Debian as well.

View 10 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Mount A USB Drive In Rc.local With /sbin/mount And UUID Instead Of Fstab?
Feb 6, 2010I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Stty Command In /etc/rc.local
Jun 16, 2010Using serial terminal(emulated) to connect to linux box. In order to fix row/column count I added stty command in rc.local:
Code:
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 rows 56
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 cols 110
If I add it in redhat's /etc/rc.d/rc.local - it works fine. But if I add it in debian's /etc/rc.local - it doesn't work. I checked by redirecting some output to /dev/ttyS0 - rc.local gets executed and stty commands are executed also - but for some reason rows/columns dosn't change after I login. If I execute rc.local by hand - stty commands work.
why this works on redhat but not on debian ?
Debian :: Pulseaudio Rtp Local And Remote Listeners
Mar 18, 2016I am trying to stream audio from one machine to several others via pulseaudio.
Following a bit of digging, I configured the "sender" with:
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp
load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor rate=48000 channels=2 format=s16be
..and the "listeners" with: load-module module-rtp-recv
Then, playing on the sender, and using PulseAudio Volume Control /Playback to set "Null Output", my listeners all start working as expected. The outstanding problem is that the sender is silent - nothing from its speakers. Perhaps not surprising after the "Null" setting above.
Is it possible to stream like this and also listen on the sender at the same time -

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Installing From A Local Partition?
Jul 8, 2011Is it possible to partition a hard drive with Debian already installed and put a live disc image in the second one and use grub to boot it. Then using this boot to the installer and install to the first partition.The answer for why I want to try this is that I have a computer that runs a robot that needs Debian. There is no CD, USB, or internet currently on the drive. there is an Ethernet plug, but It won't work until the OS is in place. We tried taking the hard drive and installing Debian to it from a USB stick on another computer, but it has the wrong Ethernet drivers and we can't get it to talk to the internet on the robot's computer.
Everything else is fine, but with out an internet connection the robot will not work.If your interested the board is an old Versalogic VSBC-8 and the robot is a Pioneer 1 from Mobile robotics. The hard drive (not that it matters) is a standard 80GB IDE notebook drive from Western Digital.
Debian :: Setting Up Local Intranet Server?
Jun 4, 2010I have been trying to set up an old pIII 700Mhz PC as a local intranet server to run some PHP code.
I have got debian installed setup ssh since it is a headless computer mounted a usb hard drive to store the web page remapped apache2 to use the /mnt/sda1/html/ folder and tested that php scripts are running
now what i can't seem to get working is the following:
ftp access to /mnt/sda1/html so I can upload files from my pc on the network and
phpmyadmin so i can easily manipulat mySQL databases.
after reading [URL] I typed in #apt-get install phpmyadmin
it downloads a bunch of stuff and says it is installing it but when i do the next step in the instructions go to

Debian Configuration :: Running A Local Ftp Server?
Nov 2, 2010What would be necessary to run an ftp server (or a web server) on my local PC so that other people I know could access it and download stuff from it? The idea is to share photos, videos etc with friends/family where the files are a bit too big for email. (All 100% legal, own-content, no copyright issues, needless to say). Security isn't that vital, I'd just put files in the ftp directory, email the link and let them download the files, then remove them again. No passwords are required, and no uploads.
Obviously there's the problem that both computers have to be on at the same time, and I assume I'd have to change my computer's firewall settings and my router's settings to allow the traffic through, but my question is more basic than that - is it even possible? My internet connection is through a router, and as I understand it, my router has the IP address, not my computer. So I can connect through my router using my computer's IP address, but only my router knows my computer's IP address, and all the rest of the internet just sees my router and its IP address. Which means (I think) that I can't just send my IP address for my family to connect to, because that only gets them as far as my router, and the router would have no idea what to do with such requests. Am I right so far?
So is there any way for my family's computers to contact an FTP server or a web server running on my computer? Or does it require some kind of intermediary server to act as a traffic-forwarder? Is there such a thing? I'm assuming that setting up little private torrents would be fiddly and inefficient. Or would it be better/simpler to use one of the free filesharing services and put up with the (sometimes not too family-friendly) adverts associated with them?
Debian Configuration :: Cannot Connect To Anything On The Local Network?
Dec 24, 2010Two nights ago I decided to switch from testing to unstable. Since then I am able to connect to the internet, but not to anything on my local network. I am unable to ping this computer from another one on the network. This computer is connected through wireless. I thought that something might have changed with iptables that was blockinghe localnetwork. I tried to "flush the iptables settings with "iptables -F". Since that didn't work I uninstalled iptables (which didn't work and I reinstalled iptables). In my browser I tried to connect to my router and that doesn't work either.I connect to this computer daily through ssh and connect to a NAS. Without ssh and my NAS I feel kinda lost
