I get the following error when I try to boot vista thru grub. This is what I did, Got a new Hard drive installed it. Configured the bios to look at the new hard drive first. after installing vista on the new hard drive I switched the boot order and added the lines for vista(last 3 lines) in /boot/grub/grub.conf. I get the following the following error.I have to change the bios everytime i have to boot vista.

I open an ODS file and edit it and save, fine. But sometimes and for no readily apparent reason it refuses to save the document with the error message:"Error saving the document <filename>: Write error. The file could not be written". I have upgraded my version of OpenOffice but the issue remains. Once it starts with that error the only way to save the file is to actually abandon my change and restart OOffice. Today I lost an hours stuff as the auto save was also failing but not giving me any warning it was failing. I'm not sure if this is an OpenOffice, file system, Fedora or permissions issue though I've not noticed anything similar with other applications. Have set permissions to 777 but still get the error.

I have some files and directories (some mixed case, and some all uppercase) that I have copied on a FAT32 USB stick, and when I load this on FC11 all the files and directories that have/are less then 8 characters (ie that fit into the 8.3 format) all go to lowercase.

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.
something.mp3 → something.ogg
And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?
PS: {Filename} doesn't work.

I've installed ethernet adapter, it is made in china from a manufacturer called FOX. The driver for that adapter is supported for sco linux kernel version 2.4.x and 2.5.x .However, I'm using Centos5 but the OS didn't recognize the adapter alone, so I'm trying to follo instructions on the driver on the attached CD.
The CD contains file named "SC92031.c", the instructions tell me to do the following "Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o"

How can we convert a dynamic library (filename.so) to a static library (filename.a) using gnu gcc . Can we get a static library form a dynamic library . I saw a few post in which the conversion form a static library to a dynamic library is mentioned but, unfortunately, not the other way.

I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".

I just installed Picasa from google and it has corrupted my picture database. The good thing is that it has done it in an organized manner. It appended -1 -2 -3 and so on to the copies file name. They look like (filename.jpg filename-1.jpg filename-2.jpg) the original having no numerical suffix just (filename.jpg)How do i write a command line to remove all of the undesirables without deleting the origionals?

I got the system installes. But it seems that I can't connect to the internet. Trying to pdate the system via gslapt doesn't work. Always says the repositories can't be reached. I use a home network with a skydsl modem and a router. All my other pc's can connect without a problem. It seems that something is not working right here with my Absolute install. I can't even set up a browser or add the Gnome BSG as said with lynx.

iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID -j DROP

# include "stdio.h"
int main()
{
unsigned int *a;
a=(unsigned int *)0x3f8;
printf("%u",*a);
return 0;
}
But it is giving Segmentation fault

I need to extract the absolute directory from the type command when I pass it a program name. E.g.
Code:
>type cat
cat is hashed (/bin/cat)
There is one other case (I believe):
Code:
>type lpr
lpr is /usr/bin/lpr
I thought of using regex, but it returns the whole line, not just the match. In addition, there is no option cited in the man page for type that returns just the command directory.
Note: this is part of my solution to a programming assignment in bash shell scripting.

I wanted to read out the absolute file-path (filename) as sorted in a folder (on Linux). The reading the file-paths is ok but I have problems in sorting.
Code:
selectedDirectory = fl_dir_chooser ("Select Imagedirectory:",NULL,0); //This is just a widget to show the folder.
DIR *d;
dirent *de;
[code]....
The files -105.dcm, -106.dcm, -107.dcm lie in the folder at the bottom and -36.dcm, -37.dcm- at the top. The program compares 1 and 3 of 105 and 37, 1 is lesser than 3, then prints out first, but does not know that 105 is three digits and 37 is two digits.

Bizarrest thing after swapping in my HDD from an old laptop into a new one. My LXDE panel temperature display is showing "-273," AKA absolute zero in celcius. I've done a bit of googling for lxde temp sensor, and most of the discussions I saw referred to installing lm-sensors, which apparently I did not yet have, although on my old laptop the temperature was shown correctly. I believe the automatic sensor location is off and I need to give it the correct location manually. I am unsure of how to do that, and it makes sense that it's hardware specific. After installing lm-sensors, I saw that sensors-detect provides me with a list of the correct temp sensors in my computer, but I'm unsure how to save those results so the computer can use them.

Ok so first off my hardware Asrock 775dual-vsta Master and Slave hard drives on primary IDE Absolute Linux 2.6.33.3 ; Dos 7.1 (yes Dos 7.1 by itself no windows whatsoever) Absolute Linux=sda1 ; Dos=sdb1
Ok so I can't boot into dos from lilo boot menu. It boots fine however if I tell the bios to boot from the second HDD first (DOS). But it's inconvenient to tell the bios every time on power-up to choose the second hard drive as the first boot device. Here is my lilo.conf boot section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/bzImage
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/sda1
[Code]...
Either way when I boot from the first hard drive (linux hard drive) and lilo pops up, I select dos and hit enter then nothing... It just sits there and ctrl-alt-delete can't reboot my comp as it's frozen.
I don't wanna have to tell the bios to select my dos hard drive as my primary boot device everytime I wanna boot dos. I wan't my linux hard drive to be my primary boot device and have my dos hard drive selectable from the lilo boot menu. Why can't I do that? What am I doing wrong? I thought this was easier than dual booting from a single hard drive?
