View 4 RepliesI'm trying to using rsync to backup some files, about half a TB. It's now it a state where it keeps sending the same files everytime it runs. for example:
rsync -av /data/source/* user@host:/data/dest
sending incremental file list
source/file1.txt
source/file2.txt
I then verify those files are copied over. then the next time it runs it does the same thing
rsync -av /data/source/* user@host:/data/dest
sending incremental file list
source/file1.txt
source/file2.txt
any idea why it's getting stuck on these files? I've tried to wipe the whole dest directory out and start over but no luck.
Formerly it was possible to send attached files using the "-a" option eg. mailx -a /home/yan/textfile [URL]. (I think -a stood for "attached". At the time the "-a" option figured as an option for sending attached files.Now it is an option for sending headers. how one can now send attached files using mailx?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy two machines are both running Ubuntu 10.10. I want to transfer program files between them using a local area network.
My Ubuntu machines can both see the Window machines on the network, and get files from them. But my Ubuntu machines do not detect each other as being on the network. Nor can my Windows machines detect my Ubuntu machines.
From what I can tell, that's normal, and I've become resigned to using a pendrive to transfer files between the two machines. Or even sending files as email attachments.
there is a clean and easy way to transfer files between two Ubuntu machines on the same local area network.
How do you send files, save or other wise write to CD using Mandriva Linux? On windows you get a helper menu. Linux does not offer this option in it's helper file and you can't click and drag a file in the CD folder. The dialog box reads "you do not have permission to write to this folder" when I try to drag it in and I can't change the permission signed in as Root.I don't have a clue. I wish Linux Questions would add a emotioncon that has the expression " what the hell buddy? are you on ten hits of acid?

View 1 Replies View Relatedreason my Debian 5 system will not stop printing blank pages. I've got the CUPS system installed, and I've gone to the control page and canceled everything. I've also turned the printer off and restarted it several times. Every time it comes back online it starts printing blank pages again. My paper does not need to be heat treated. It's fine as it is. So, how to I stop this waste of electricity and printer MTBF? What else might be sending commands to the printer besides the CUPS system?

How can I send already encapsulated Ethernet frame payload to server? Basically what I would like to do is to is route Ethernet packages I get from other peripherals to their needed destinations and packets I receive send to requested device on peripheral. Program will be running on BeagleBone Black with Debian OS. Steps program should do from my point of view:
# <IPv6<UDP<DATA>>> packet received on some peripheral (UART in exact case) sent to server requested by <IPv6> destination address field# <IPv6<UDP<DATA>>> packet need to be sent to server that server application would receive <DATA> extracted from IPv6 and UDP encapsulation# <IPv6<UDP<DATA>>> packet need to be sent to server that server would know that device which is requested is available in BBB local network# <IPv6<UDP<DATA>>> packet received from server would be sent to requested device
From what I already found out I need to add routing header to packet I want to send and pass it to MAC encapsulation layer, or there is service which can add routing header and pass to other layers for me?
Also how can I get data sent from server, since if I'm not very wrong, system should receive them also encapsulated in Routing header, not as RAW data payload.
Since we switched our server to Squeeze, I'm receiving emails from the cron about a mysql error (...can't use locks with log tables). But this is not the issue I want to talk about here. The issue is that since the executed command is: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck -uroot -pmypassword --all-databases --check-only-changed --silent which is a command that was automatically added to the cron by the mysql package (I believe), the password is sent in clear text in the email's subject. In my sense, this is a serious security issue (sending root password in email subject...)
I don't know at what level it should be corrected, but it seems to me like it should be corrected in the Debian distrib, shouldn't it ?
And for now, how can I hide the password in the emails I receive ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using debian unstable for some months, and after some problems I've been having with the nvidia non-free drivers and pulseaudio, I decided to do a new fresh install. As in the first time, I used a netinst CD, and all went ok. The first three times it booted perfectly, with gnome and all the apps, without problems. I updated the system with the unstable repositories, and I went home (i was somewhere else).
When I got home (like an hour ago), my new debian OS boots, but it brings me to the console, instead of automatically logging me in normally, with the GUI and Gnome and everything. It asks for login and password, and then it's just the console, and if I type, for example, Iceweasel or vlc or any program, it tells me that there's no display or that the X window system is not available. What happens?
It worked just fine a few hours ago, ant I only updated my system...! Also, it booted normally a few times after upgrading, so it's quite strange. Also, before that, I tried to install Debian Testing from a CD ISO image, and I succeeded, but the same happened so I used the netinst image and it worked. But now it just won't work...
My partition system is now like this:
/dev/sda4 - ext4 Debian Sid (old one) mounted as / [BOOT]
/dev/sda1 - extended, containing new one:
/dev/sda5 - ext4 Debian Sid (new one) mounted as /
/dev/sda6 - swap (new one)
/dev/sda7 - ext4 Debian Sid (new one) mounted as /home/
/dev/sda3 - swap (old one)
(bold means "primary" partitions, italics means the logical partitions inside the extended one)
In vm workstation console resolution default is 640x480 ,and i want to change it to 1024x768.
In Debian7 , it can changed use vga=792 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
But in Debian8 use changed use vga=792 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg , screen will all black.
Although screen can't see anything , but it can connect through ssh normal.
I also tried GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768,GRUBGFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 in /etc/default/grub , it get same Result.
I don't know the problem is at VM workstation or Debian 8.
after an upgrade i got an american keyboard-layout in the login-terminal. i ran dpkg-reconfigure console-data: its said keyboard layout would be german. i ran dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout: same thing. i checked the bugs for console-data and keyboard-layout: [URL] and the best i could find is this (console unusable after upgrade): [URL] but it doesnt seem to be exactly the same problem. its since about a week.main problem is the password, else its a little annoyance, not more.
View 4 Replies View Relatedplaying with debian I find that I have no answer when I try to resize my console if I wish to use it without a GUI. Are there something that could resize the screen ? In this moment it seems to be 640x480 and it could be better if the resolution could be 800x600. I have tryed to modified /etc/grub/00_header
if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600 ; fi
Now I know that I could use "consolechar" command with option "f " to set other fonts temporarily. The problem for me now is that I had tried almost all of those fonts in directory /usr/share/consolefont/, but I could not find a suitable one, none of them are beautiful. So, I hope one can tell me how to get the fonts and how to set the font I like to be lasting.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup X-less (console only) system on my old laptop. Everything works great, except colors of the console. When grub2's "gfxpayload" is not set, all colors appear fine, but when I set gfxpayload=1024x768" it starts with the correct resolution, but all color that's supposed to be white, appears teal (sea green).Interesting thing is that bold text in man pages appears white but not bold. Hyperlinks in links also appear white, although the selected hyperlink appears with a teal background. So the driver apperently can display other colors, but what's stopping it? Erasing "gfxpayload=1024x768" restores the colors back. Changing font's face and size didn't help. Using screen didn't help. GPM's pointer appears as a teal rect.

I have a dell poweredge server. In the bios, it has the option to redirect the screen to the serial port. There is also the check box "redirection after boot" which from what I understand will let me to continue to use the serial port attached to a terminal as if it was the main VGA monitor with a keyboard attached.
When I start the machine up, everything goes as expected, I see the output from the bios on my serial terminal, until debian actually starts booting. It all goes blank. If i attach a monitor i can see it is indeed booted and waiting at the debian login prompt. What should I do from here? I was under the impression that if i enabled "console redirection after boot" that the os would be none the wiser and i could continue using the serial console as the main screen as needed, but that does not seem to be the case.
My wireless works without issue with network manager. However I notice that it seems to be a gui only app. That is, when I stop the display manager my laptop loses internet connectivity.

Unfortunately I dont know how to find the font settings.
I have console only on my machine and I have two problems with it:
1) I can't find how to enable programmer dvorak keyboard layout.
2) All the console settings don't stay after reboot, I have to do dpkg-reconfigure console-setup again. But after I do that I loose russian layout that I normally can switch to with Alt+Shift.
After reinstalling Squeeze's base system, the console font is too small to read comfortably. I tried to pass the kernel parameter vga=0x303 without success. After init starts the font reverts to a very small font that I cannot read comfortably on my 17 inch TFT LCD monitor.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running Lenny of a Dell Mini 10, using only the console. I want to get the resolution smaller that 80 on the horizontal axis, but I can't find the right setting for vga in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Inserting various values makes the dell give me list of possible video modes at boot, but none of these are higher than 80xSomething. It offers VESA modes that are choosing these results in unreadably tiny text, and anyway I wouldn't know how to edit in order to make these mode take effect automatically.
Can anyone tell give me a value that works for vga on Dell Mini 10 that produces a smaller resolution that 80xSomething? If not, can someone suggests a different way to obtain the same result?
I've just tried to install X on my new debian system which had a nasty side effect.
I can see the bootcycle up to "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated." and then the screen switches into a display mode unsupported by my display. I've had problems like this many times before because the display returns it's capabable of resolutions like 2048x1536, which it just isnt. I've had to disable autodetection whenever using this display. One thing to note thought is that it's NOT X that's messing up the display. It's setting the wrong display mode even before the filesystems are mounted. And I've already uninstalled X with no change either. Also recovery(single user) mode has no proper display output either.
what is setting my display to the wrong mode?
Is it possible to prevent the disclaimer from being displayed as soon as one logs into a terminal? I am referring to the six standard terminals.

I tried to use NDN [URL] which is fork of famous DN . It's more advanced then Midnight Commander and I would like to use it to better understand Debian FS and do console works there. However, I have a problem and it seems that their support forum does not work, so I thought to ask for general help here, in case it's something that can be set in Debian. Problem is that when I run this manager I can't use arrow keys or 'num pad' or PgUp/PgDn/.... pad but only 'central part' of keyboard - regular keys and Fx buttons. So I was wondering if there could be some problem between terminal emulation and this application that can cause such behaviour which is unacceptable for normal usage, obviously.
View 13 Replies View RelatedInstalled Squeeze from a CD image (lxde) but the desktop environment did not appear, only a text login. Downloaded lxde using aptitude, but haven't a clue as to how to activate it from the console, or anything else other than aptitude, for that matter. Openbox is part of lxde, and with my Lenny I could bring it up from the command line with the command <openbox>; not now. Can't get on to the internet, so am writing this with Damn Small Linux on a CD.
