Fedora :: Increase The Size By Pulling The Edge It Locks Up The Computer?
Jun 8, 2011First, I upgraded to F15. All went smooth. No problem. But if I pull up a terminal in KDE via menu->utilities->Terminal, I get a terminal that shows only 3 lines. If I try to increase the size by pulling the edge it locks up the computer. Functions otherwise. This is Gnome Terminal 3.0.1. X terminal works fine. So does Konsole. But not the above application from the menu.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Boot From CD - Pulling Hair Out?
Oct 29, 2010I'll start off by saying that I've used Ubuntu for a while now and I've installed it on quite a few machines. This problem is really perplexing. I've got a machine that I wiped (hand built) that's had every version of Ubuntu on it since 8.10 - installed with no problem. The previous incarnation had Ubuntu Studio 10.04.
So I've got a fresh clean HDD. I download (via torrent) the standard 10.10 x64 disk. I boot from the CD and it just hangs at the ISOLINUX bootloader message. That pops up and the CD drive just spins down and nothing happens after that. So I do an MD5 sum on the iso checks out fine. I try the Alternate install CD, same problem. MD5 sum checks out fine on that too. I put the same failing CD in my laptop and it boots straight to the Install Menu.
So I grab a Fedora 13 and a CentOS ISO and burn both of those to CD. In this machine, both of those CDs boot absolutely fine and go straight to the live CD desktop. This PC has 2 optical drives, a SATA bluray drive and a PATA dvdrw drive. I get the same behavior on both drives. I've updated the BIOS on the motherboard (ASUS). I've tried to hit escape and hold down both shift keys while the thing is booting and neither have any effect.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is to burn another 10.04 CD to see if that works. Is this karma for last week when I heard that Katy Perry song on the radio and I didn't change the station right away? Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Ubuntu One :: Getting Errors Pulling Bookmarks / What's Up?
Jan 1, 2011I'm getting a lot of stuff like this in ~/.cache/desktop-couch/log/desktop-couch-replication.log (below). Can someone tell me what's up with this??
(Also, an unrelated question, I have some bookmarks that are "read only". They are produced by a firefox extension that saves some information in the unsorted bookmarks. I have set the folder to r/w, but am wondering what u1 would do if I had not - both when pulling the bookmarks up to the server and when pushing them back down.) code...
Slackware :: Pulling An IP From Public Wireless?
Dec 9, 2010I was having a similar issue with my wireless connection with S13.1-64 as this thread. My lappie uses the Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN and had a problem pulling an IP from public wireless, however, I resolved that by setting the channel within the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to the strongest antenna. However, now my problem is just maintaining the connection once it is established, either by time or heavy use the connection will drop, and I will typically have to restart the rc.inet1 script to get my access back again. According to the init script at start-up dhcpcd is forked, but apparently it doesn't do anything. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

Aug 4, 2010I've recently swapped from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and I haven't looked back - except for the fact that moving from Photoshop to GIMP is difficult. I digress.
Suspend works nicely (what a blessing ) but Hibernate doesn't.
Ubuntu 10.04 is installed on a 500GB Seagate External hard drive plugged into a USB port on my motherboard. My BIOS is set to boot off of it automatically (boot order). Windows 7 is installed on my 160GB () internal drive.
The problem is not when I put it into Hibernate, it's when I pull it out of hibernate. When I do my computer tries to unhibernate into Windows!

Programming :: Pulling Contact Info For 400+ Domains
Jan 11, 2011I'm doing this manually, as I'm at work, and if I spent 2 days trying to figure out a script to do this they'd maybe take it as me not working and instead messing around. However what I want to do is pull the:
Contact name, Company Name, Address, City, County, Postcode and email from the whois info for a list of about 400 domains we own.
I think I need some kind of combination of dig, sed and awk to pull the info, then filter out the parts I need, however I've never done anything like this before so I need some advice on where to start.
I'm not looking for a full bolown solution, I already have the list of domains so I think it will be something like:
Code:
for x in {list of domains}{
dig x;
somehow grab name, company name, address,
write to file in csv
}
Am I looking at this in the right way, can someone get me started? Is it sed/awk I need or is there another too.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Preupgrade Leftover Packages - 176 F13 Packages Remaining
Nov 17, 2010I recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora :: How To Multiboot Distros From LVM And/or Non-LVM Partitions
Dec 6, 2010My drive was set as LVM during installation of FC3 and has worked fine, but now i need to upgrade to some newer distro and would like to "try before i buy" one, without losing my current data and functionality (email and browsing). Once i find something that i like, then i would want to use the new distro and still have access to my old data files.
My thoughts were that i needed to somehow create a non-LVM partition in which to download and install the newer distros, but that is scary at the thought of making a mistake and losing everything. And from the success story it appears that is possibly not necessary since he uses only LVM. i tried using WINE a while back and something in the windows program started reformatting/deleting my linux account in /home and i lost everything, so i'm not thinking highly of virtualizations, and i've reverted to "if it ain't broke don't fix it"...
But now all the multimedia requires newer flash, and new flash requires new browser, and new browser wants new kernel, etc... so the time has come to try the new stuff, even though the old stuff works fine. i have a /boot ext2, and the rest is / LVM. i would like to try ubuntu or debian, knoppix, FC?. Most of the info i've found for multiboot has been anti-LVM, so it has not been useful and i'm overwhelmed by all the information. Could someone who used LVM and loaded other distros give me some detailed pointers on how it works and maybe some successful example scripts or partition tables, etc.?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Pulling Of Large Files From A Mounted Directory Into RAM?
Oct 18, 2010I'm having a bit of an issue with Lucid installed via Wubi. I stuck the OS on its own partition (30 GB in size), and don't store any large files in the Ubuntu file system (when I download something large I move it to another hard drive.) I don't have anything wacky or esoteric installed on my system.
I've been consistently having a problem where, after a few hours or a few days of being booted up, Ubuntu warns me that my available HD space is dangerously small. The amount of available HD space Ubuntu sees then shrinks from a few GB to nothing within a few minutes, and the only way I can seem to solve this is to reboot. Taking a closer look at what's happening, my Home folder balloons in size until there's no more writable space recognized. But there are no files being created or added to, so it looks like there's a bug of some sort. This SEEMS to be correlated with watching videos (or maybe it's the pulling of large files from a mounted directory into RAM? My videos are all on another HD, as mentioned before). I can generally go a few days without getting the "low space" message, but I can't seem to make it through a full 2-hour movie without getting the error.

Dec 23, 2010I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and noticed something strange when I used Yum to install GNote and Inkscape. Yum installed the Fedora 14 version of the programs, but installed some dependencies that were actually from Fedora 12 and 13. The output below shows what packages were installed.
Yum output:
==================================================================================================== ===================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
[code].....
When I ran the yum command to list all of the packages for the dependencies in question, it only listed the version for Fedora 12 or 13. Is there something wrong with one of my repositories or do these Fedora 14 programs actually use packages from previous versions of Fedora?
