Fedora :: Install Software From Server Without Copy To Computer?
Aug 6, 2010
I want to install a software to my computer, I've mounted that server directory, so I can visit them in the x-windows, but I can not install the file as it requires to be root, the help file of that software gives a command for installing to linux system like this:
# /net/....(server name and directory path)/setup
but when i use this command it says wrong, as this is not a recognized path, just wondering is there a similar command in Fedora that I can access to the net directories in terminal?
I am using fedora 10 in two computers. Just for my own practice I sent a file to my second computer.
1st computer IP is 192.168.1.10 2nd computer IP is 192.168.1.20
[Code]....
The file has been successfully copied to the second computer but I again want to copy that file into my local computer by still sitting in my 1st computer.
copy the users to one computer to another?I've tried to copy the /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow and /etc/groups but when arrives in the login screen it's like it can't open the screen and try again and again...
I have a Ubuntu box and a damn small linux laptop,I have installed ndiswrapper on Ubuntu by using apt-get.And I wanna install ndiswrapper on my laptop too,but it doesn't have a network adapter(so it can't connect to the internet).
Then I copied /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper and /etc/ndiswrapper to my laptop,when I ran ndiswrapper on my laptop,following error message appeared: Can not find a version of ndiswrapper.
What should I do(or how can I run ndiswrapper on my laptop)?
I want to copy a file (home/remote_computer_user/Desktop/test1.txt) from my remote office computer (a permanent URL + open port) to my home computer (home/home_computer_user/Downloads/).
How can I do this with shell commands in Linux?
My current thoughts:
ssh <user>@<computer1address> -p <port> - gives me a shell on the remote computer (I think I should use scp, but I dont how exactly how in my case)
I regularly need to copy files from a remote computer to wherever I am working. I've ben looking into alias and the .bashrc (or .profile in the remote computer - mac) Can I use scp in these files? I've tried:
Code: alias='sch usr@location:' then when in the local terminal:
Code: sch path/file . But this doesn't work.
Better would be copying when logged into the remote location, but I haven't figured that out in terminal yet, let alone an alias for it. Hopefully it'll be a quick solution!
I tried copying .gnome2 from my personal machine to another computer hoping my desktop layout would be manifested on the second computer, but it wasn't. What else do I need to copy from my home directory to the new machine to make this happen?
Also, is there a way to do the same with Firefox so that I don't have to reinstall the extensions? Copying .mozilla carried my bookmarks, but not my extensions. v
After I burn the DVD image, I put the disc on the computer and boot. The installation screen appears, the acknowledgement screen appears, then the installation checks my system and gives me a yast window with an error about something related to URLs and repositories. I cannot continue with the installation.
I am 100% new at this and thought it would be as easy as installing ubuntu (which I installed on a laptop and works flawlessly).I am trying distros and opensuse is compatible with my video card right out of the box apparently, so that's why I chose it for my desktop.Do I need to copy the dvd image to the hard disk of the computer I want to install opensuse on, and use the dvd to boot as well?
I have a 160GB harddrive which I installed a F12, would like to upgrade to a bigger drive, but I hate to have to re-install everything.
Recommend a good disk copy utility? The utility should be able to not only copy files, but boot sector and everything. So I just need to make a copy, change my BIOS to boot from the new drive and run everything as before.
I installed fedora 14 on my Dell studio xps 1645 with CPU intel i7 core inside.
I downloaded the microcode.dat file from the intel website to update the revision of the CPU.
I tried to put it in /etc/ but no update was done. also in /etc/firmware (after creating the latter directory), and no update was done. also in /lib/firmware (after renaming the current microcode.dat file) and no update was done.
Ok so I'm running Mint (not full Ubuntu), and I'm not sure if this is a problem with the FS, Kernel, what not.I'm running Linux Mint 9 - x64 - kernel 2.6.35.14 - and when I did a large file copy operation (9GB) it froze up my system until the copy operation was done. I couldn't even use Pidgin, Mozilla, or anything, when trying to open up another Terminal it froze as well.
Im taking the class now in college once a week. My professor said that we need to install any Linux operating systems so I chose Fedora, but he said we need at least 16GB free of space to install it in our computer, sadly i only have 1GB space left remaining. I told him about it and he told me about installing Fedora in my flash drive that has space of 16GB. I really am interested in this course and want to understand all of this stuff so can anyone tell me the process to install Fedora into flash drive so I can boot it anywhere else other than home? Also since he said I need 16GB to install it don't I got to buy 32GB flash drive at least?
PuTTY SFTP syntax required to copy a file from computer 10.0.2.2, on user t0p's Desktop (eg /t0p/Desktop/file.txt , to the XP computer? The PuTTY instructions seem to make no sense to me.
I am looking to save myself some time with the install.I have a much faster computer than the server this drive is to go in. If I can install on the faster computer that would save a couple of hours. With the changes that kernel 2.6.x bring, is this possible?
so here's my problem. I am trying to install windows xp on my computer in virtual machine so i can watch netflix on my computer. The disk will not start up, if I restart and try to boot from load i just sits there and says boot from cd. The disk drive plays music cd's fine, so i dont really know what the issue is.
I dont know that much aboutut ubuntu. a tech friend put it on hard drive he gave me after mine crashed. also i should ad that i took the disk to someone else's house that haswidnows installed and the disk worked just fine, so its not a disk problem
trying to install F14 on a computer that has Vista on it. I chose the option for it to shrink my existing partition since it takes up the whole hard drive. On the next screen I choose my install drive... then it asks me (dont remember verbatim) by how much do I want to shrink the current partition? I put 200 (I assume its GB... is it MB?) and then it said shrink failed and then takes me back. Is that question on how much I want to shrink have to do with how much space I'm putting on the new F14 partition or how much I'm leaving on the windows partition?
I tried to install SDL-devel on a 64 bit Fedora 12 computer. I get this
Code: [root@Fedora dolphin-emu-read-only]# yum install -t SDL-devel Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies
[Code]...
I need to insall SDL-devel to compile Dolphin, can I force it to continue or not perform a dependency check? When I try to remove it, it tried to remove tons of files as dependencies, can I stop it from doing that?
I need to install restricted codecs (MP3, WMA, etc) in Fedora but I wanna download them at home. Is there a way I can download them in Ubuntu, put them on my USB Hard drive and install them from there?
I need to work with MySQL database management Software. But I don't know how it is install on our computer. I heard that their is a so many step for this process .
basically put a new hard drive in my old computer and wanted to install fedora on it, downloaded fedora 12 dvd iso (3ish gb in size) have burnt it to a dvd disc, turned my laptop on and set it to boot from cd drive, restarted it, it reads the disc and displays the following message:
ISOLINUX 3.75 209-04-16 ETCD Copyright (C) 1994-2009 H.Peter Anvin et al Could not find kernel image: Linux boot:_
The uderscore is flashing and i can type stuff in but have no idea what to type in to find the kernel image, or why it cant find the kernel image.
I performed a clean install of Fedora 15 from DVD and it goes fine until the end when the install program says to reboot the computer. Once I do that, the computer hangs before Grub loads, i.e. just after all of the BIOS messages, so there isn't any error message to indicate what is wrong. I had no issues with Fedora 14.
A few days ago I decided to install mumble and create a mumble-server on my computer. So far the network requirements have been met, I have forwarded the necessary ports, etc.. etc... The only problem is mumble-server. As soon as I install it, if I restart my computer and run the terminal command
Code: $ murmurd The servers starts and the database (murmur.sqlite) and log (murmur.log) files are created. As for the ini file, I am able to specify an ini file found in my /home/MYUSERNAME directory, it will use that ini file. The server will be up, and me and my friends will be able to use it. I can kill the server and restart it without a problem. As soon as my computer is restarted, if i run the murmurd command this appears, whereas before nothing appeared unless i forced the server to stay attached to the terminal.
I want to run rsync on server A to copy all files from Server B when they are newer than 7 days.(find . -mtime -7) I don't want to delete the files on Server B.

ncftp -u : option unknown
I am copying total script what i am executing in my server. Please some one tell me is there any pistake in using the ncftp command , or tell me some other commands to copy data to remote server
Allright, I made a simple script that tarballs my SQL databases weekly and saves them to a backup harddrive.If possible, I would like to have the backups uploaded to a remote server for storage. But, I must have the script delete the previous upload for size contraints.I can only use rsync, scp or sftp. Haven't used any of them really before... Here's my basic tarball-backup script:
Code: #/bin/sh # Dates the new tarballs of current builds. DATE=`date +%m_%d_%Y`
