I recently upgraded to Fedora release 12 (Constantine) and noticed that sort is no longer case insensitive.
echo -e "ba
a
A" | sort
a
A
ba
I think it should be:
a
ba
A
The -f flag does not change anything. I have sort (GNU coreutils) 7.6.
Some of my files and directories were mysteriously disappearing and some of my shell scripts were failing after the upgrade to Fedora Core 12. After some debugging I found out that file name globbing is no longer case sensitive in Fedora Core 12, that is
rm -rf [a-z]*
now also trashes all files and directories starting with [A-Z], which explains the removed files and directories
and
ls [a-z]*
now also includes files and directories starting with [A-Z], which caused my shell scripts to fail.
Is this a bug or a 'feature'?
The sort utility in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) always sort by case-insensitive, just like if you specify --ignore-case to it. The two sort just give the same result:

But sometimes I want to sort by case-sensitive, so the upper-case letters come first, then lower-case letter.

Anybody know of a way to search only for similar case sensitive files? By which I mean doing a wildcard search across a drive & the only results are like: Abc.txt abc.txt VID_001.avi Vid_001.AVI .. etc.
I've already tried searching the forums & google but the closest I've found is regarding files with increasing numbers (music_001.mp3, music_002.mp3, etc), which doesn't quite fit with my issue, as they would be seen as different files on a case insensitive OS.

mkisofs 2.01
I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.
Quote:
-iso-level level
.........................
With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).
...........................
However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.

My knowledge of how Linux works is very limited. I've used it for about a year, but just doing very basic tasks (browsing the Internet, listening to music, etc).
Anyway, I upgraded to the newest edition of Ubuntu and installed the new Grub as the update seemed to recommend installing it to every partition and hard drive. I've seen that other people are now having issues from doing that as well.
I am able to boot into Linux just fine; it is working great. However, when I attempted to load Windows XP from Grub, the computer would just restart. I followed the recommendation listed here: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/sh...95&postcount=3 which seemed to fix the problem for Windows 7 users. Now, all I get when I attempt to load XP is a blank screen with nothing but a blinking cursor (but hey, at least the computer isn't just automatically re-booting, that's some sort of progress...maybe...)
Question about the bug reporting system that I think is called ABRT Struggling with F15 and want to file a bug report, but the backtrace thingy says I should remove sensitive data first. Obviously a good idea, but the report is full of what to a non-programmer looks like gibberish - things like what I guess are hexadecimal numbers or memory addresses, none of which I understand. Can any of that incomprehensible stuff contain sensitive data, like encryption keys or anything someone would need to crack a machine? If I remove all of that then the bug report will be pretty sparse.
(Same question applies to SMOLT - machine profie report - as well) Or is "sensitive" just about the human readable data in the reports?
I tried to add my wife , and when I put in a password for her, this error comes up."Please set a valid user name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers." I did all that and I still can't set a password for her.

I'm running FC12 and GNOME.If I move the physical mouse about one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.That's way too fast and way to sensitive.I prefer the mouse pointer to move far less distance on the screen when the physical mouse is moved.
From System->Preferences->Mouse, I set the various mouse Pointer Speed acceleration and Sensitivity to Slow, Fast, Low, High, and and I couldn't get it any better. At the least sensitive settings. if I move the physical mouse one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.How can make the mouse pointer less sensitive to mouse movements?
I would like to set up Kdump in case my machine crashes (and it still does frequently) to send the message to putty running on my windows machine (or to my other server running fedora 8).

Under both Windows and Fedora 11, my USB flash drive was mounted using the volume label of "RBR Astro". Under Fedora 12, it now gets mounted as "RBR ASTRO". I like my old case. It's a small nuisance, but it also ended up breaking all my links to files/directories that I store on flash. How can I get the flash to mount while preserving case?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am downloading some files via tftp from the server (call it my server) and I need the server to be case insensitive to the file names requested. That is If I request "SoMe.TTL" and the actual file name is "some.ttl" it should send "some.ttl" back! Right now it is case sensitive and is a pain in the but because some windows clients upload files to that directory and the names can have any case. Furthermore, the file request mechanism must allow the user to input the required file name, hence the user can write using any case. Can the tftp-server solve cases by it's own? How about dnsmasq's internal tftp server? Ok, maybe I wasn't explicit above:

I accidentally made a mistake of deleting the data I was suppose to shred. I cut and pasted sensitive documents from my external hard drive into my laptop. I want to shred those documents from my external hard drive but since I already did a cut/paste command those files are no longer accessible from my external hard drive. Is there a way I can fix this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe touchpad on my Lenovo Z560 is to sensitive. I went into the mouse setting and adjusted the pointer speed sensitivity as low as possible but I don't see any difference. The lightest touch will move the pointer. I saw where some have modified the xorg.conf file but I can't find it in Ubuntu 11.04. From what I could find with Google this laptop uses a Synaptics touchpad. I installed Gpointing-device-settings and was able to change the speed but not the sensitivity. How can I make the touchpad less sensitive?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a SONY 52x DVD Writer in my Desktop. Initially it was okay.. For the past 2 months or so , the DVD tray is super sensitive.. When I press the "Eject" Button , it comes out and immediately the next second goes back in..Also I face great difficulty in loading a CD/DVD .The moment the DVD touches the tray , it sucks the tray back in.
As a result , I am not able to position the DVD, most of the time it gets stuck ..I cannot manually stop the tray from going in as I guess the spring for the tray will break.Should I replace the drive? Apart from this mechanical issue , the drive reads and writes properly.. I like Drives which have separate open and close buttons (not the ones which you push from the front)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently used D�j� Dup for the first time. I chose to backup my home folder and most dot folders (do most of you backup all your home dir dot folders?). Even though D�j� Dup uses gpg, is there any sensitive data stored in dot folders within my home directory?
BTW, I did an incremental backup up to an older D�j� Dup backup folder on my NTSF external HDD and got an error. Is this because it is NTFS? I then did an incremental backup to a backup folder on my PC (ext4) and got no error. In the picture attached, would that setting mean the backup will continue to grow to a huge size? Would it be better to keep backups for a week?
I'm running a Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 with Linux Fedora Release 12 and the mouse is way too sensitive, jumps all over the screen when I touch it, especially if 2 fingers touch at the same time. I've tried all the system settings and nothing helps. It works fine with Windows XP Professional.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI should note that I tried the Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 Live CDs and have experienced this in version 10.10's Live CD. I guess that narrows the problem to GNOME? Basically, moving the cursor horizontally takes less effort than moving it vertically. It feels as though there are separate axes for sensitivity and I don't know how to configure them. how to make it be normal again? (In Lenny, it was perfectly fine.)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a sh-tty B/G wireless card that does 500mw according to iwconfig. I also have a nice little panel antenna on this card that does 7dBi. This rig picks up a lot of signals and that is really great. However I am experiencing a problem. I am able to Internet browse on non-encrypted networks as long as the wireless manager shows a full four bars. However, if I try to connect to a three bar network, I will not be able to browse the Internet. I have a solid lower level 3 bars, I'm assigned an IP addy, but I get absolutely no throughput.
So, I think this has something to do with receiver sensitivity. In G mode, this card does a lousy -65ish or so at 54 meg. So what I'd like to do is drop to 5.5 or 11 meg B because at 5.5 meg or 11 meg B, the card does a much more acceptable 90+ sensitivity.Does anyone have the command string/app for this? I would like to force a card to operate in no better than 802.11B@5.5meg rather than having it auto select 802.11G@54meg.
My company needs to send sensitive data across to another company, 800gb of .dpx. The way I have thought of is:
E-Sata/1TB WD black.
True-encrypted/ hw accelerated aes (3x machines being built with 2600k)
Sha1sum on each file.
The main goal is to make sure that
1. The files that were transferred off the server onto the drive, are exactly the same.
2. Secure.
3. Fast.
We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.
Today I ran
aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade
Like I regularly do, and I see these two packages need to be upgraded:
login passwd
Since these packages seem kinda security-sensitive I would like to know exactly why I would need to upgrade them. I checked Debian's security list but couldn't find anything relevant, and the links to the changelog for both packages are broken:
The requested URL /changelogs/pool/main/s/shadow/shadow_4.1.4.2+svn3283-2+squeeze1/changelog was not found on this server.
Where can I see what is changed in these packages so I can safely upgrade?
