View 14 Repliesi've worked with Linux for a while now, but never in a double boot kind of way (except using wubi), and i'm still kind of a newby.i have 2 harddrivesfirst one has only 1 partition; Windows XPsecond one has 1 empty partition, simple storageand another partition where i installed fedora core, and GRUB is also located on this harddrive.I changed harddrive priority to my second harddrive, result:GRUB comes up, no problem, but when I try to boot windows, it tells mentldr is missing ctrl alt del to continueso i changed the harddisk priority back to the way it was, where the first drive containing windows is first priority... but then, no GRUB.i've tried editing the grub conf,i've tried fixboot/fixmbrtl;dr:no ntdlr when linux harddrive is main priorityno grub when windows harddrive is main priority

It gave me this:

I just would like to know where i can find how many bad blocks were found (perhaps one if it is using singular in sentence "Updating bad block inode."?), and what is/are the number(s) of located bad block(s).
I cant see the inode number of a file by running
ls -i <file>
How can i see the blocks where this inode points to? I'm talking about a yaffs2 partition.
When i try to install i get past the language options and get to step 4 where you have to pick a partition. But the screen is blank. I've tried to set my controller to ide in bios but that doesnt help. If i put my usb stick in Ubuntu finds it but still not my HDD.

I have just given Linux a try for the first time and so far its not proving to be a good experience. I have so far just tried to install a couple of basic programs I am familiar with and ones suggested by Lifehacker.I wanted to install Tweetdeck, which meant installing Adobe Air. I duly downloaded Adobe Air but it then says I need to choose an application to open it. Assuming that the bin file was a zip file I looked in the software centre and found 7zip. Told it to load that but then couldn't find where it was. Its not listed in the Applications drop down (top right) so I found 'search for a file' and entered *7zip* to be shown 5 files. All but one appear to be a form of image file the other (7zip.desktop) isn't an exe either. Double clicking on it just gets me the following in something called gedit.
Name=7zip
Comment=7zip compression/uncompression tool
Terminal=false
Type=Application
[code].....
I then gave up and used google to find the program and download it, but just came across the same problem. Why oh why is there not some default program already loaded for unzipping files? How can I find 7Zip (I have already looked in the bin folder on the system drive but nothing there) and run it to tell it to make itself the default for unzipping files?
In the man page for find there is an example for deleting core files from /tmp: find /tmp -name core -type f -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f
which I am sure does what was intended. However, this very similar command does something quite different: find /tmp -print0 -name core -type f | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f
This actually removes all files in /tmp, ignoring the -name and -type arguments. I checked the man page to see if it detailed this behaviour, but the only reference to the order of the arguments was that -name should come before -type to prevent excessive calls to stat(2) on all files. This seems very risky behaviour on the part of find and I am concerned about whether this is a bug or not. I wasn't trying to remove core files from /tmp when I found this out, but deleting other files from another part of the filesystem .
I have following 2 files
File1
10.1.1.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.3.1
File2
10.1.3.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.1.1
Both are reverse of each other. Now, basically if you see, the contents are same, but in different order. Is there any easy way in which i can find out like which items dont match between 2 files, regardless of order. Lets say i add 10.1.4.1 to File1. Now the result of such comparison should be only '10.1.4.1'. Currently if i am comparing both files using diff, it gives me all the lines.
As part of my testing, I need to find a tool that will write/read IO to a volume. I need it to fill the volume and then read and verify that the write was successful. hroughput stats would be a plus, but right now, IO verification is a must.I need the volume to write, read, verify, then repeat until the volume is full.Can anyone point me to a free tool that can manage this?

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

and use the command line tool /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

I'm making life difficult for myself. Summary, I have a laptop with F10 installed on a portable harddrive (sdb 1-3, i.e., no logical volume) Works great, no complaints so I guess this reduces to a grub question; how do I edit grub.conf to boot an iso on sdb4? Fedora10.iso for example.
