Fedora :: Retrieving File From RPM?
Dec 18, 2010
I accidentally did:
$ strace -o /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d user
Of course this truncated the dovecot-lda file I was trying to trace down to a size of zero.
Is there a standard way to get this back from the RPM ?
That package has some configuration files I don't want copied over with the original RPM versions.
I am hoping for some nice option to rpm that will retrieve lost files like that and get the permissions and ownerships set right as opposed to brute force rpm2cpio and then manually copy the file into place and then try to figure out correct ownership and perms.

basically the situation I'm in is someone mistakenly expanded an NAS without unmounting the drive on the server. This corrupted the superblock and its apparent that all the backups are no good. The drive in question was expanded from about 800gigs to 1.8TBs, its done via an NAS.
At this point I'm most concerned about getting the files off the drive, I can deal with resetting the file system but I really need those files. This happened within a week of me joining this group so I'm kind of doing damage control here, backups were not taken of this particular drive.

My laptop was damaged a couple of months ago. Just a short drop from the couch, but it was hard enough to make the HD inaccessible. I took it to a local, respected shop but they couldn't save any of the data and simply installed a new HD after consulting me.
I have the old drive and would still like to retrieve the data, if the price is right. What should I ask about when looking for another repair shop?

I am stuck on the "Retrieving file" step of my initial Ubuntu install on a 12GB drive at 79% saying "Retrieving file 13 of 28". I have not been able to install Ubuntu because of this reason.

I have recently set up a mail server running dovecot and everything is fine. However, I now want to retrieve the contents of 2 pop mail boxes and insert them into the IMAP structure under dovecot. I need to check for spam and sort them according to sender and recipient.
What is my best software option for retrieving the mail?

i'm doing a fresh network install of f15 from a usb stick. the installation has now been stuck on the "retrieving installation information for fedora 15 - i386" stage for over an hour. on previous releases this stage has only taken a few mins. i can see from my router that there have been thousands of packets sent and received from the laptop. i've searched all the normal places but can't find anyone else reporting this. does anyone know if this is a known bug (and if there is a fix) or if this stage takes significantly longer in f15 to any previous release ? cheers.
---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------
finally got to the next stage after nearly two hours. no idea why it took so long.

im trying to register my openpgp key in launchpad
Quote:
Importing an OpenPGP key
To import your OpenPGP key into Launchpad, you first need the key's fingerprint.
Note: You must ensure your key is in the Ubuntu keyserver before you try to add it to Launchpad.
Retrieving the key in Ubuntu
The easiest way to generate a new OpenPGP key in Ubuntu is to use the Passwords and Encryption Keys tool. If you are using Ubuntu 10.04 or an earlier version, it is located at Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys. In Ubuntu 10.10 and later versions, it is located at System > Preferences > Passwords and Encryption Keys.
Step 1 Open Passwords and Encryption Keys.
Step 2 Select the My Personal Keys tab, select your key and open the property window by pressing Space Bar or double clicking with your pointer. Select the Details tab of the property window.
Step 3 Select the Fingerprint text (the ten blocks of numbers and letter). Copy the text by pressing the Ctrl+c keys together.
Retrieving the key using the GPG command
Open a terminal and enter:
gpg --fingerprint
GPG will display a message similar to:
pub 1024D/12345678 2007-01-26
Key fingerprint = 0464 39CD 2486 190A 2C5A 0739 0E68 04DC 16E7 CB72
Geoffrey Hayes (My OpenPGP key) <geoffrey@bungle.com>
sub 2048g/ABCDEF12 2007-01-26
Highlight and copy only the numeric fingerprint: 0464 39CD 2486 190A 2C5A 0739 0E68 04DC 16E7 CB72 in the example above.
so i followed these instructions, and there was nothing in my "personal keys", same for the command. so my question is how do i get the fingerprint to be able to register my key in launchpad?

I've got a laptop here where the Windows product key has been torn from the bottom. Windows will not boot up on this laptop (it blue screens). When I remove the hard drive from the laptop and install it into my working Windows computer, the partition shows up as "raw". However, the partition mounts under Ubuntu just fine, so I'm wondering if there are any Linux tools that will allow me to retrieve the Windows 7 product key, from within Linux...

I use Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and my wife who is not an Ubuntu convert still uses Microsoft Windows. Recently her ageing PC stopped functioning and she bought a more powerful PC with Windows 7 as the OS. Unfortunately, most of her specialised work software refuses to run on Windows 7, but she still wants / requires access to retrieve information from the old drive which was running (past tense) Windows XP Professional up until recently. Because of her fear of breaking the warranty on her new shiny PC, she won't let me remove the casing and fit the old drive. So, the question is, if I fit her old drive into my Ubuntu machine would it harm either my PC or her hdd? Also, these new SATA drives have no jumper settings (slave/master etc). How do I set it up and how do I get the information from this hdd?

I recently deleted my .kde4 folder and lost all the album art and lyrics I had saved in Amarok. I have a back up but openSUSE doesn't recognized the file type and won't copy the files to the new albumcovers folder in .amarok. The file name is a mixture of numbers and letters with no file extension.
I downloaded a few album covers in Amarok and openSUSE recognizes these as jpeg files, even though there's no jpg file extension in the file name. If I right click on of the files from my backup and choose to open it with Amarok, then the album art appears, and it's also added to the albumcovers folder in .amarok, and recognized as a jpeg file!
Anyone know why openSUSE doesn't recognize the files from my backup? Or how I can import all of the album art and lyrics from my back up all at the same time?

I have several Gmail accounts. On one of my Ubuntu-running computers (Hardy) Evolution remembers the passwords. Which is a good thing, as I can't remember one of the passwords.
When I'm out and about with my netbook, I like to check my email. But I don't use Evolution on the netbook; I access the Gmail accounts via the web. And because I can't remember the password for one account, I can't check it.
Obviously, on my Hardy desktop, Evolution/Ubuntu remembers the password - so it must be stored on the computer, right? How do I get Ubuntu to tell me the password?

I'm doing a project demonstrating weaknesses in facebook's security setup, and I've reached a bit of a roadblock.I need to retrieve the public RSA key of the website (facebook) that it uses for https traffic. I know I can do this through firefox and everything, but I need to do it through the command line. If that's possible, that would be great, and would lead me to question number two. Once I have the public key, how would I use it to decrypt raw network traffic, like from wireshark, that came from facebooks servers that was encrypted using the public key?

Allow me to submit that i did a mistake of not saving the work which i done in the past few months. i have used history command to see the previous commands. But trouble is that since i had worked a lot on gnome-terminal, only last 1000 commands are shown. Is it possible to see list of all the previous commands for all users. Also, sorry if this sounds absurd, but is it possible to save the details of a session onto a single file ? I not sure but when i had worked on vector Linux, i had used some command to save sessions at the terminal. Is there any analogous command in Ubuntu 10.04 also ?

I'm running CentOS 5.5.
A couple of weeks ago, my 500 GB disk crashed after suffering an accelerating error rate for a couple of days.
Now that I have a new disk in place, I want to mount my old disk, which is (was) an LVM disk, as a second disk and recover files from it if possible.
The question is, how do I go about this?
If I mount the old disk:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /sdb1
the top-level directory shows only two subdirectories:
lost+found, which is empty; restored, which is an image of files recovered from old disk's predecessor.
'df' shows (or appears to show) that the disk is 11% full. Sorry, I don't recall how full the disk was before it crashed.
How do I get the system to recognize the LVM structure on the old disk & mount it?
Or is the directory structure too corrupted? Do I need to send the disk out to a recovery service?
P.S. Have aleady done some poking around with lvmdiskscan, which shows the old disk whether it's mounted or not, and vgchange -ay, which doesn't appear to do anything.

I was messing around with Bash scripting just now and was wondering if there was a way to organize the output of a command into an array. Like the Bash equivalent of the PHP explode() function.

I've been running various releases of Suse Linux on my home PC for about 6 years (currently running Suse 11.2). The old hard disk in that machine is starting to experience read errors, so I bought a new disk to put into the PC which otherwise works fine.
So I figure now is a good time to give Ubuntu a try. I plan to install the KDE version of ubuntu on the new drive, but once that's finished I will want to mount the old disk and copy as much as I can off of it onto the new disk (JPEGs, old documents, stuff under my home directory.
The old disk uses Reiser. I have read various threads concerning problems with mounting Reiser FS disks under ubuntu, but many of them are old so it's not clear to me what the current status of support for Reiser in ubuntu is.
I am planning to do the following:
1) Remove the old disk from the PC, put the new disk in its place.
2) Install kubuntu on the new disk.
3) Put the old disk back into the machine along with the new one with the old one being the slave/secondary disk so that when I power up the machine, it will be running ubuntu off of the new disk.
At this point I will want to mount the old disk so I can then start copying files off of it.
What do I need to do to mount the old disk, keeping in mind it uses the Reiser file system?

An email was sent to my imap account 2 weeks ago. I just discovered that it's still sitting there unopened but for some reason Evolution doesn't retrieve it.I know it's still there because I can ssh in and run pine -- and there it is, still marked "N" in the INBOX.Evolution has been retrieving all my other emails with no apparent problems. Is there any way that I can "force" it to get this item, and do you have any idea as to why one particular email is being excluded when Evolution does Send/Receive?

I have a Server with Webmin, Usermin and Sendmail using pop3s. I have created a seft signed certificate using webmin. Exported it and imported it to the trusted root certification authorities on my client. This fixes the warning message from internet explorer when attempting making a ssl connection to webmin. When attempting to use usermin or retrieving mail I get that warning that this site's certificate is self signed. I look at the certificate and its not the same as the one I created with webmin. My question is. Is possible to have the same certificate be used by each?
