Fedora :: Creating And Verifying Torrent Files?
May 9, 2011
I'm trying to create a torrent file via the command line. I used "transmisson-create", but since the .torrent file is binary I can't read it using "less" or "nano". Is there a way of verifying that the torrent I created was correctly done? I know I could probably upload the .torrent file to my public server and then use another torrent client to test, but I simply want to see what's inside the .torrent file to verify that it got all the files I wanted. I cd'd into the directory with the files that I want to torrent and ran the following command.
Code:
$ transmission-create -p -t http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce *

I've been having trouble writing to DVDs on one computer, and I am trying to figure out whetgher the problem is hardware or software related, or, perhaps, both. The brasero CD/DVD writer puts the md5 checksums of each of the original files in a hidden file on the DVD. I think it then calculates the sums of the copies and compares, but the last time I did it, it told me it had permission problems with the drive, and that failed. When I put the DVD in, udev finds it and mounts it in /media with me as its owner. Apparently, brasero mounted it some other way, and presumably that caused the problem.
Secondly, after I brought it up again, I went into the /media mount point and did md5sum on the files there. One of them a gzipped tar file, produced and input/output error. Yet if I use cmp to compare that file with the original it finds no difficulty. So what is going on? Finally, I have tried to write shell scripts which use cmp to compare the original files with the copies. The general form is
cd XXXX
find $* >> /tmp/X
for i in `cat /tmp/X`
do
cmp $i YYYY/$i
done
where XXX is the mount point in /media and YYY is the original directory containing the relevant files. This works fine except that if the file names have spaces in them, the shell script treats each word as a new file name. So I need some way to arrange things so that `cat /tmp/X` returns the complete file name. Nothing I've tried works.

Is there a way in svn to verify if an already existing file tree that "should"be at a given revision is in fact correct at that revision?I had an earlier revision and obtains patches via svn diff for subsequent revisions, and applied them up to a given revision (or head). Now consider that perhaps some error happened during the application of these patches, or perhaps a file just got corrupted. What I would want to do is just verify if the tree I have now at this revision is the exactly tree I would get at this revision ... without actually pulling down the whole revision.Note, I want to do this for exports, not for checkouts. That may make it simpler since the result of svn diff seems to only be for the actual data files.

I use deluge and it worked for a while then randomly I got this error message when trying to download a .torrent file:"/tmp/Manchester_Orchestra___I_m_Like_A_Virgin_Losing_A_ ___-1.torrent could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.Try saving to disk first and then opening the file."

How would I go about creating a script to upload files to my webserver? I want it to only upload files that have been modified on the current date. So if I make changes to a file or touch a file, I run the shell (or perl) script to upload those files. This is what I have so far:
Code:
#/bin/bash
FTPU="username" # ftp login name
FTPP="password" # ftp password
[code]....

I have utorrent running on wine without issue. I click on the utorrent.exe and it opens and runs great. My problem is that even after setting .torrent files to open with utorrent (instead of transmission which is the defualt) and then try to open them NOTHING happens. I have to go into utorrent and open the torrent files. This is kind of a pain in the butt cause I want to be able to download and run them from my browser so after the download is finished it gets loaded into utorrent.

I couldn't find an answer myself. So, the problem is that every single bittorrent program I tried downloads files I checked to ignore so I know this is not a program related issue. For example, there are 2 pictures in a torrent, I select only one but in the end I have both downloaded.

I had Fedora11 (default layout) running on a separate hard drive (winXP on the other drive). After the FC drive failure I replaced the drive and did a fresh install again. This time I tried a custom layout to keep the /home on a separate partition. The installation went without a hitch, but on first boot the system hangs with "Verifying DMI Pool Data......"
XP boots fine though. Looks like grub doesn't get loaded. I can boot with the installation cd and get into recovery mode, everything seems fine on the fedora disk. Fdisk result:
Grub.conf:

I have both windows and fedora 12 and have noticed I get much faster downloads with windows. Is there a bit torrent client that works extremely well with fedora? I have transmission and it is very slow. I have tested with the same exact files and windows is so much faster.

I am running Fedora 9 and KDE 4.2.1. I want to set up some traffic shaping on my machine to prevent my torrent client from hogging my entire bandwidth. I.e., I want KTorrent to download and upload to the best of its ability, but still be able to browse the net freely in spite of the torrents. I have done some reading about traffic shaping in Linux. There is lots of material about it, but most of it (such as the lartc.org "howto") is very complex and comprehensive and looks extremely intimidating. Furthermore, most of it addresses situations where you want to distribute traffic between multiple computers in a network. I just want to manage processes on a single machine. I am hoping for a piece of software that lets me assign each a "priority" to each application, or something like that. Like cFosSpeed for Windows.

Is there a command that can be run to verify that a users cron job has run successfully?
Platform is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
I have scripts in /home/useraccount/bin/
running
crontab -l
While logged in as user results in:
# m h dom mon dow command
@hourly /home/useraccount/bin/script_1
@hourly /home/locateruser/bin/script_2
I realize scripts could send email or write to a log with a timestamp, but wondering if there is just a way to verify it ran from the command line.
I ran
ps -ef|grep cron
... and it shows
root 4358 1 0 Mar12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron
Not sure if this indicates it is running the jobs though....

I just started dual booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my mini 10v with OS X a couple days ago, so I'm still pretty new to Linux.
But anyhow, I was attempting to change my User ID number so I could access the files in my User folder on my OS X partition. So, I tried entering the following commands:
sudo usermod -u 501 yourusername
sudo chown -R 501 /home/yourusername
Of course, smart me should've realized I should've been logged out and on a different administrative account to do this. But I didn't, and I believe the second command didn't work. So, whatever, I thought I'd try logging out and logging in as root.
So, I logged out, tried logging in as root, and of course, no dice because I didn't know the password. So then I tried logging onto my account and upon logging in, I got two errors. One was about ".ICEauthority" and I didn't keep track of what the other one was.
Great. So I did a quick google for the error, then tried entering these codes:
$ sudo chown user:user home/user/.ICEauthority
$ sudo chmod 664 /home/user/.ICEautority
$ exit
[Code].....
And again, I think the last one didn't work. So, I looked up how to login as root, changed the password and logged in as root successfully. Then, whilst in root, I entered:
/usr/sbin/usermod -u 12345 joeuser
/usr/bin/find / -user 701 -print | xargs -t chown joeuser
/usr/bin/find / -user 701 -exec chown joeuser {} ;
Upon entering those, I logged out and logged back into my account and everything was a complete success. No error messages anywheres AND I could access the files in my Mac user folder.
So, here's my question. How can I make sure I have all the right permissions I need? Or do I already have the all of the permissions I had before changing my user id?
Did those last three lines of code I entered "override" all of the codes I had entered previously? I just want to make sure verify I have all the correct permissions necessary so I don't run into any issues later on.

I'm trying to upgrade to F11, and I'm having trouble. I attempted to download the x86_64 DVD .iso image by bit torrent, and it seemed okay, but when I started the installation the DVD failed the initial integrity check. I tried a second time with another DVD and got the same result.I tried running md5sum on the .iso image, but the response did not match what was in the CHECKSUM file that came with the .iso image -- should it? I tried downloading a live DVD image for comparison and found the same result - the response to the md5sum command did not match what was listed in the CHECKSUM file.Should these checksums match, or am I comparing apples and oranges? I thought the bit torrent client was supposed to check the files, but I'm not sure about that.

opensuse v11.3
linux 2.6.34.8-0.2-desktop x86_64
It took me 3 tries to get is ISO image that matched the md5 checksum on the download site. At 8 - 10 hours each it was a PITA. The first simply aborted 1/3 of the way through (HTTP direct link). The second used wget, got a full file but the checksums didi not match. The magic method was Bitorrent.
All this has left me with an uneasy feeling about the contents of the DVD created from the ISO. Is there a way to test the DVD contents?

I am reasonably technical but new to Linux. I almost guarantee there will be simple things that I don't understand. I am trying to get a USB wireless adaptor working with aircrack-ng and have managed to find that I should have the mac80211 drivers installed and active to support the rtl8187L and B chips. (I also need to patch them apparently, but first things first).
I am working with Ubuntu 8.04LT (I am fairly sure) and do not seem at the moment to be able to update to a more recent version on the target machine. The kernel is 2.6.24-27. I followed instructions to blacklist the r8187 and ieee80211 modules, which seemed to go quite smoothly.
I now need to get the mac80211 module loaded, but can't find out how. The information at Aircrack-ng and related sites seems to indicate that I expect the drivers to be already in my build of Ubuntu but they do not seem to be loading. The suggestion seems to be that they will load automatically. I have found some stuff in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14 and /lib/modules/2.6.22-27, and also in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-27 which is probably relevant but I don't know what if anything to do with it. If anyone needs more detailed information, just tell me what you need to know, and how to get it.

I need with some iptables rules. I've done all I can, Googling all over, to cover as many exploits as possible and the following script is what I've come up with. The current set up works and I've checked with NMAP. I just need some sort of confirmation that this is pretty much what I can do.
Code:
LAN="eth0 eth1"
RANGE=10.1.0.0/17
WAN=eth2
# Delete all existing rules
[code]....
Also, if I wanted a broadcast to be relayed to all subnets within a defined range, how would such a iptables rule look like? I need this in order to find a networked Canon MP640 printer.

I like to create files using the GUI context menu. I right click on windows and one of the options in the menu is "new" and then I have many options such as Word 2007 file etc. I create a lot of files and so this method is more convenient by far for me than opening the application, saving and then navigating to where I want the file to go. Because when I want to create the file, I will probably be in the directory in which I want to create the file, the process takes only a few gestures to complete which is not the case if I have to go through the file system in the "save as" window. Is it possible to have this functionality in Ubuntu?
