I am about to repave an FC14 box with FC15. To save a bit of mucking about, I would be keen to restore, from backup, the file(s) needed to reactivate my WiFi connection under FC15. I can always rebuild from scratch, but recovering from backup would prevent finger fumbles from making the task harder, as I have a long-winded 128-bit key.
View 9 RepliesI was putting the cover back on my Antec p180b, and I guess it got stuck and gave it a hard bump (pretty much broke the cover). As a result, one of my hard drives, a Seagate Barracuda ST3750640AS, got messed up or something. All the other hard drives are fine. It's in an LVM with another hard drive, so now I can't boot up into my computer. So I booted into the installation CD:
Code:
# find /dev/sd[a-c][1-3]
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
[code]....
This led me to believe the partition was messed up. So I ran cfdisk, and it said something about a missing partition table or something. Additionally, instead of showing the single partition on it, it displays, from my recollection, Pri*Log. To my knowledge, this is the only problem with the hard drive. So now I need to either somehow create or restore the partition table without overwriting the data. Or get a new hard drive, and some how recover the data (LVM, partitions, and all).
I have done some searches and none of them tell me how to recover or where/what the file name is for the Mozilla passwords. I was able to recover the bookmarks. orrupted my system doing the 9.4 to 9.10 upgrade and I am trying to rebuild the user one piece at a time.I also need to know how can i recover my mail from Thunderbird. Basically I have set up a new user and am trying to move stuff over from the old user one piece at at time until I can figure out how to fix the old user.

Someone just erased my HWADDR line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How can I obtain my original MAC address?
Code:
ifconfig eth0 does not work (it shows the wrong MAC address) since the HWADDR line from the file I mentioned above was erased. Also there is no ifcfg-eth0.bak backup configuration file.
Running F10. What I want is, dhcp assigns an IP, like 192.168.1.123 (this works) and somehow the computer's hostname becomes pc123. This is what I want, but the hostname is stubbornly static. Not really understanding the process or the hundreds of posts I've searched through, I have done:
Remove the static name from /etc/hosts
Make sure /etc/host.conf says "order bind hosts"
Set /etc/sysconfig/network line to HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
Made sure all the settings in the network administration tool are normal
Nonetheless hostname invariably reports "localhost.localdomain". It also bothers me that the network connection seems not to be established until AFTER the desktop comes up. Isn't this too late?
We absolutely have to set up a system and then reproduce it, essentially bit for bit, on other computers which are on the same network. The "master" F10 install was automatically given a hostname of pc111 and it somehow hardwired that into its files. Trying to "unwire" it has gotten me nowhere.- something seems to have changed and I don't know what. It works fine on FC6.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI used the ext3 format when I formatted my partition prior to installing Ubuntu10.10. I had accidentally deleted a file and began the process to get it back. It wasn't critical but helpful to recover the file. To make a long story short I ran into to some unexpected road blocks. I tried to use PhotoRec to get the job done but with no success.
I'm just looking down the road in the event I might have to recover something important.If it would be better going back to the Fat32 file system I would rather do it sooner than later. Just as a side note I am dual booting between linux and windows.
I have a config script for a particular software package that does...
iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables > /tmp/firewall.log 2>&1
The problem is, the output hangs after this. If the user hits a return, the rest of the output comes to the screen and the script finishes normally. But the script looks like its hung because of this odd iptables-restore behavior.
I am browsing our repository and I want to get this folder but all of the files there have ",v" in the end of their filenames and if you open each file, they have some written data which are headers for version control before the actual content of the file. I want to extract the actual content to make the file my_file.c,v --> my_file.c. Is there a command to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having one of those days, and managed to delete some virtualbox disk images. But the virtual machines are still up and running just fine. So the deleted disk images still exist somewhere.
Is it possible to recover these files? Since they are in use and locked by Virtualbox I guess they still are completely intact and fine on the disk, but that they will be permanently deleted once VirtualBox stops.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSay I have a file that's downloading (from a source that's hard to re-download from), but accidentally deleted from the filesystem namespace (/tmp/blah), and I'd like to recover this file. Normally I could just cp /proc/$PID/fd/$FD /tmp/blah, but in this case that would only get me a partial snapshot, since the file is still downloading. Furthermore, once the download completes, the downloading process (e.g. Chrome) will close the FD. Any way to recover by inode/create a hard link? Any other solutions? If it makes any difference, I'm mainly concerned with ext4.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire One running NBR 9.10. A few days ago it "went wonky", wouldn't boot and would just seem to start and then shut off before getting to the logon screen. I managed to boot from a USB stick and run check and fix in Gparted. It found a slew of errors in the file system. Unfortunately, it still won't boot, now it just hangs. I assume some of boot files were damaged.
Now I have two problems:
1. Is there a way to repair the damage? Or just wipe the disk and start over?
2. I need to get my e-mail off of the hard drive. I can mount the drive after booting from a USB stick, but the thunderbird directory is locked. Is there a way around this?
I was editing a PHP file by FTP on my Ubuntu server, and for some reason it's saved an empty file. Is there any chance I could get the contents back? If not, I'll just have to revert to an older backup
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis has happened twice to me. I'm editing a filename on the desktop, for example, I have a part of the name highlighted and press delete. Inadvertently, I press delete again, but with nothing highlighted. The file is deleted, but is not added to the recycle bin (possible bug).
I believe that is what is happening. I cannot seem to recreate it purposefully on my work computer --I had done this at home this morning while sans-coffee.
