Fedora :: Creating A Bootable USB Flash Disk For DOS (using 12)?

Nov 22, 2009

how to get a working bootable USB boot disk for DOS using Fedora 12. I needed the dos boot disk to flash my motherboard BIOS as it did not support linux for updating the bios. Thought I'd put the steps involved to help other people who wanted to do something similar. The steps outlined here are for a Fedora 12 system. You should be able to extrapolate the minor changes that may be required for other linux distributions. All commands listed below to be typed in on a command prompt, logged in as root. Here goes...

1. Prerequisites:

syslinux
testdisk
freedos base cd (http://www.freedos.org/)

[code]....

Acknowledgments:

1. [URL] for enlightening me on the fact that testdisk could be used instead of install-mbr

2. [URL] upon which this howto is broadly based.

Debian :: Creating New Profiles Based On Existing Profile In Gnome

Oct 8, 2010

I'm setting up my profile in gnome right now, with things like fonts, themes, wallpapers, iceweasel settings, menu settings, and I'm going to be adding a couple new users. Rather than re-do everything again, I thought I'd just create the new user, copy over my home dir, chown it to the new user and then login to make minor final adjustments, like specifiying where the music dir is and such.Just wondering if there'd be any problems with this, since it's just an idea I think should work but have never tried it. Any experience, or warnings?

Programming :: Creating A Text Based Menu Structure In Bash?

May 15, 2009

Is it possible to create a text based menu layout in bash were it is possible to browse through. The menu list should look something like this:

----------------------------------------
user: root
colour: blue
number: 4
animal: dog
----------------------------------------

At the start the cursor should blink at the r from root so that text can be entered. When pressing the enter the cursor should go to the b from blue and so on. the imported thing is that all the text is visible also beyond the position from the cursor.

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating A Bootable USB Image Based On A Running System (NOT LiveCD)

Sep 2, 2010

I have a system built and running in exactly the basic configuration I want, with my recompiled kernel, extra packages, special drivers, everything works, life is good. What I want to do is take this exact setup and create an image I can copy onto a bootable USB stick. Is there a way to essentially take the contents of my hard drive and copy that onto a USB stick and then boot directly from that? The use case behind this is that I am building an embedded system of which I may have hundreds of boxes with identical hardware and software configurations. Instead of hard drives, I am going to use USB sticks for cost efficiency and maintenance. My idea is that when it's time to upgrade, I could just image a hundred new sticks and go out and swap them.

My issue is that a standard LiveCD install gets me maybe 25% of the way to a finished system. I need to recompile the kernel for realtime support with my CPU, add some fidgety drivers for some specific hardware, and install a whole bunch of additional packages. I suppose I could create a makefile(s) to replicate all the manual steps of the buildout but that seems like a lot of unnecessary complexity IF I can just image that running system as it is.

Ubuntu :: Automate Creating Directories Based On File Names And Moving Files Into Them

Apr 30, 2011

I have a bunch of .7z files in a directory, and I need to put each one of them into a separate directory, named after the file (without extention). The command line I use:

Code:
find . -type f | mkdir `sed -e "s:..(.*)...:1:"` ; ls | grep .7z | cp * `sed -e "s:(.*)...:./1/:"`
Copying fails though:

PS. I don't want to use scripts, I want to do it using simple commands and piping.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: ABC IView (flash Internet Based TV) Locks PC / Sort It?

Oct 11, 2010

My PC completely freezes after viewing any program on ABC's (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) iView service. The time at which it occurs varies but it completely locks the PC.

I'm running 10.04.1 and have an Nvidia 6200 card, I'm running the propriety drivers.

Could this be an issue with my graphics card? I updated it a couple of months ago and can't think of any other changes that have been made.

I have the latest version of Flash.

My biggest problem has been coming across someone else who has experienced the problem so how should I be going about trying to debug it?

Ubuntu Networking :: Creating A Ubuntu-based Intranet With Internet Access?

Jan 20, 2011

I am trying to create an intranet that will serve about 100 clients. If it is possible, I would like it to be set that anyone on the intranet would be able to type helpdeskin their browser bar and be taken to the intranet site. I have Webmin and there are just too many options to figure out how to do this. They may as well have written it in Chinese. File server? Email? Impossible.

I can get to the intranet locally by typing in the local IP, but no one wants to remember numbers.

Then, I need to get that intranet accessible via the internet. A domain name has already been purchased and our cable company has assigned us 5 static IPs. The issue here is getting the IP to link up with the server. The intranet has to be configured in such a way that it can be administered remotely. Again, with Webmin, I am clueless. I was going to try to use ISPConfig, but seeing as how you have to pay for the install directions

Ubuntu :: Get A Message To Flash Up On Screen Based On A List Of Messages In A Text File?

Oct 10, 2010

i've been using some subliminal software on windows for a while now and have found it to be really good. It basically just flashes up a message on screen over the top of whatever is going on at that time but the message is only there for about 30 milli seconds

The message is not there long enough for your conscious mind to read it but the theory is that your subconscious mind will read it.It actually works really well. THe problem is that they dont package a linux version although they do have an OSX version, i'd really like this on ubuntu.

Tried it in wine and it installs but nothing happens after that. Alternatively perhaps somebody can tell me how you could get a message to flash up on screen based on a list of messages in a text file?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Hear Sound Played Through Both Browser-based Flash And Locally Stored Files After Install Command Line

Aug 18, 2011

I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 from the alternative installation CD; the installation was just the command line system. On top of this I have installed xorg and awesome window manager. The only problem I am having is with sound; I am unable to hear sound played through both browser-based Flash and locally stored files.

Is there something that I have to do before I can use sound? Edit: I have solved the original problem however I would like to know if I can remove pulseaudio as it seems that I am only using alsa.

Ubuntu :: Fonts Are Just Too Large And Large

Feb 18, 2011

how big and widespaced the fonts on Clementine playlist are and how good they look on the appmenu (where my mouse pointer is). This is not because Clementine is QT4, I've got the same problem with Chrome, Opera etc. I've been messing with system-settings (KDE settings tool) a day before the fonts become that widespaced in order to make my KDE apps look more native on my GNOME, but I haven't touched the fonts settings there.

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating An ISO From Custom USB Flash Installation ?

May 3, 2010

I've created a USB startup disk under Ubuntu 10.04 lucid (Live CD), Ive selected the option to save system settings to the flashdrive with about 200MB usage, now that ive configured and customized the opperating system (on the flashdrive) I want to create a ISO from that flashdrive installation.

Once the ISO is created, I want to burn it, boot off the CD then create another startup disk but this time setting "Discard on shutdown" so no settings or files can be saved to the flashdrive, but my custom setup remains. "its for an internet cafe setup".

How do i recreate an ISO from the USB startup disk?

I'm trying to load the flash stuff in webpages, but it says i need the flash plugin.

General :: Debian Based - Arch Based - What Is The Practical Difference?

Jun 7, 2010

I notice that on DistroWatch, the descriptions include "debian based", "arch based", etc. For the newbie, is there any practical difference between the different bases, or is it a Coke vs Pepsi type question?

Is a distro based on Debian say, easier for a newbie to learn or work with than say one that is FreeBSD based?

Ubuntu :: Kill Window Based On Based On Title Instead Of PID?

Apr 24, 2010

I am working on a set up, and I like to be able to toggle compiz on and off, or toggle dualscreen on and off. The thing is, I also have conky on my desktop as well as a terminal window embedded in my desktop (that requires compiz). So, when I turn comiz off, or resize my desktop, I want to be able to reposition conky/embedded-terminal and the terminals position is relative to my conky position and the size of my virtual desktop.

I can do this all fine, except that to reposition the terminal I need to kill it then reopen it. But if I kill gnome-terminal it kills ALL gnome-terminals instead of just my embedded one. How can I specifically close my embedded one and leave any others untouched? Lets say that the title of my embedded terminal is "trans777"Also, the trans777 titled gnome-terminal will be killed when compiz is not running.

Fedora :: Large Filesystem Can It Be Stripped Down

Apr 8, 2010

Well I was looking into backing up my system and with some excellent help from remeeraz in another post just realized how big the filesytem for fedora was. On my system at least its showing 10GB of used space. Now im not sure if that includes the swap file aswell but as explained in another post I have the 210MB filesystem location and the the 320GB LVM2. From my limited understanding it seems the lvm2 location ecompasses the swap and the filesystem but does not explicitly show the swap location and in any event shows the full size of the drive.

once i have backed this core system up so I dont have to worry about ballzing it again how can i strip the installation to a more managable size like to fit on a DVD, im not talking about saving pictures or movies just the base install as thats all i have right now anyway.

Fedora :: Large Fonts In KDE After Upgrading

Jul 26, 2010

Just have upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 and now fonts in KDE are too large, so my 1280x1024 desktop resolution seams like much lower. Such apps like Thunderbird, Firefox, Opera and others have their own font settings, but they affect only on text inside browser or e-mail. All menus, toolbars and other elements are big. Other apps which don't have own font settings have all fonts big. I tried to change font sizes in system fonts parameters, set all them to 10, but no any effect. It's especially inconvenient in Thunderbird, because it has big fonts not only in menus, but also in names of all folders and even in messages subjects. Only message text itself is customizable in its settings.
