I can not for the life of me determine how to get the monitor serial number / manufacture date using Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). Does anyone know? None of the following provide this info:
monitor-get-edid
monitor-edid --v
monitor-edid --MonitorsDB
monitor-get-edid | monitor-parse-edid
dmidecode -q
Is there any way to untar and only extract those files that are above a certain date including directory structure??
I restored a backup on a play server but it was a few days old. However I have a tar archive of the entire structure that is more up to date and healthy so now I want to extract all files (including directory structure) based on a date filter on the files if possible?
I have got a very frustrating problem. I am not new to Ubuntu but this time I bit my tongue! Actually it is a problem related to my graphics card "Intel 945GM" , it is a real crap card but it is working fine with Windows XP pro (I use windows just for testing)!
Problem : My monitor DELL ST2310 would not work under DVI mode (only VGA mode is working fine)! I tested with Kubuntu, Ubuntu (several distos), Fedora 13.. Upon booting, I get this error message :
Code:
EDID checksum is invalid
remainder 130
the monitor DVI connection is working perfectly under Windows XP. This means the Intel 945GM cannot read the EDID hexadecimal data transmitted by the monitor through the DVI connection. Yet, System recognizes the graphic card's DVI-D port but set it as disconnected.

I have to extract last number from filename.
ex- my file name is a10b8c1000
so i want to extract 1000 from it.
i tried using sed
sed 's/[a-z][0-9]*[a-z][0-9]*[a-z]//g' a10b8c1000
but sed looks for content inside file.
Except faster reading of zone records there is not other purpose of correct SOA number,right?

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have a script that prompts you to insert a USB HDD/memory stick then it needs to determine its serial and model and save it to a file. The script can determine the device file of the inserted drive(ex: /dev/sdc) and if hdparm -I /dev/sdc works then all is ok. The problem is that not all USB HDDs/memory sticks work with hdparm. When it does not work I get the following:
Code:
root@izghitu:~# hdparm -I /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
The other command to get the serial for USB devices of any kind is lsusb -v or lsusb -D /path/to/bus/address The problem of the first one(lsusb -v) is that it lists all USB devices and there's no way for me to script it to detect the inserted USB drive/memory stick and get the serial/model for it. The problem with the second one(lsusb -D /path/to/bus/address) is that I do not know how to get the correct USB bus address of the inserted USB drive/memory stick.
Is there any other way to get the serial number/model of a USB HDD/memory stick using its /dev/sdc device file? Is there any way to link the /dev/sdc device file with the /dev/bus/usb/address device file so I can then use the lsusb -D command to get the required info?

As you can see, the first command gives numbers like C841-0655. But for the optical disks (iso9660) it gives them not. Neither does the second one. This number is known as 'Volume serial number' in MS-DOS, and is printed on console with the command 'dir' not only for the HDD partitions but for the optical disks too. how to get an optical disk Volume serial number? Notice that this number is inherent to the media (is a property of the media, under any O.S.).

I want to get the Hard Disk serial number of SCSI HDD on Solaris. On linux this is done using following structs and API:

ide=open("/dev/hda",O_RDONLY);
(void)ioctl(ide,HDIO_GET_IDENTITY,&hd);
(void)printf("Serial number - %s

Is there any similar method exists in Solaris to get HDD serial number.

I'm looking for some help for renaming files that contain a sequential number. The files are spoken word radio programs that have a sequential program number.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty sure I'm in over my head with this one. Here's the situation: My practice has been, after downloading and making changes to files, to use a certain GUI cataloging app to move them to categorized sub-folders inside one "umbrella" folder, then copy them to (what are in most cases) identically-named sub-folders in another one on the same HD. Emulation of this process on the command-line would look like:
Code:
cp holytrousers.jpg /home/metoo/Pictures/fancypants/
mv holytrousers.jpg /home/me/Pictures/pants/
This was in anticipation of making a "twin" of the second, now bigger, "umbrella" folder on anexternal HD and continuing the practice. At some point I intended to get rid of the original 2nd "parent folder" and just keep the first one on the drive with my OS install, using the twin on the backup folder as I'd been doing when it was on that same drive.
I'm very close (a matter of 2 to 3 weeks, it looks like) to getting a backup/external drive in a reasonably-reliable external enclosure. With the backup, originally the "twin" of the bigger "umbrella" folder and its sub-directories, on that other drive, I also anticipate that I will likely go at least a few days between backing up any new files to it.
For the sake of argument, let's say I gave the external the name "tuxs_twin". Is there any way to monitor copying activity from /Pictures/ on the boot HD to /media/tuxs_twin/Pictures/ and log the dates and times, then have something running that checks the log every so many hours and puts up a reminder dialog saying /tuxs_twin/Pictures/ hasn't had any new files copied to it since date X at time Y? I hope this was clear enough. If not, I'll try to break it down further when I know which details are confusing folks.
