General :: Alternative / Equivalent For Driver Genius Under System?
Jul 9, 2010
Driver Genius is a piece of software that you can use to extract/pull/save/leach the drivers of a certain piece of hardware under MS Windows in order to save it for feature use with an other similar machine
OR the concept is different in linux? cause the drivers are integrated inside the kernel?
Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to system restore like windows?
I just want to know what the best way is to save everything , as in settings and programs etc. , just in case there's some sort of major failure.
Any ghosting programs that will allow me to save the last known good configuration? or clone the entire drive?
Since I've been using Ubuntu I haven't run into any major screwups like with windows , but there are some times I've installed it and it took a while to get different things working. I don't want to have to go through the whole process again if there's ever a major malfunction.
I am new in Ubuntu. I wanted to know if there is a System Restore available out there in which is equivalent of RollbackRX [URL].. freeware or shareware.
RollbackRX used to backup/restore OS system changes. It is able to backup/restore system in less than 1 minute. It is able to backup with a little amount of disk size. Feature Needed: Pre-Boot Snapshot Backup
[Code]...
I currently used this application in my Windows XP system. And I am happy having it. I used to modify my XP a lot and sometimes forcing myself to restore my system (using rollbackrx) because It is unbootable/freezing/sudden restart. It does save me a lot of time, especially those critical moments. I am hopeful that there is available variant of this one for Ubuntu.
I would like to know what is OpenSuse application that does the same job of RH's system-config-authentication application. I need to test Active Directory authentication while setting up Samba file server to use AD accounts and ACLs.
Does anyone know how to set up an print-to-file-printer with an alternative system to CUPS? The quality suck on CUPS and there's NO solution, at least i didn't found anyone
I'm install a genius web cam eye 312 in fedora 11. The image is upside down in all the programs. In amsn there is no colors, and image upside down. In skype, chesse full colors very nice, but image upside down. amsn give me this information: v4l2 : usb camera (93a:2622)pac 7311. The command Lsusb give me Bus 005 Device 002: ID 093a:2622 Pixart Imaging, Inc. So I think there is a problem with the driver it self.
I've read a lot and I still can't configure my webcam. I've read about spca 5xx but when I go to and click on the debian package, it takes me to a "No such package" site inside debian's package.debian.orgAny idea how to resolve this? maybe there's another way to have this webcam working. I know there's a way to make a .deb package from a .rpg, would that work in this situation?
I have a problem trying to compile v4l-dvb which is required to get my genius eye312 camera going. Fault when "make all" is issued reads make -C /home/jstocker/Applications/webcam/v4l-dvb-0b9c85378d2f/v4l all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jstocker/Applications/webcam/v4l-dvb-0b9c85378d2f/v4l'Updating/Creating .config Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.27 File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-pae/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 32, <IN> line 4.
As per my knowledge, one can use systemcall to call the driver functions for example using open, close... Now is there any way to call driver functions directly from application without using system call?
This is how i made my Genius G-Pen F610 Tablet on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Everything works but the buttons the sides of the tablet, the buttons of the pen(stylus) work as well. First I was looking at these websites, as a reference: [URL] So, let's begin our journey:
1. Add this ppa: ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen (I've went to System-Administration-Software Sources-Other Software-Add and copy-pasted this at the APT line: ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen )
2. Install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen (I went to System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager and typed wizardpen (on the QuickSearch bar) It showed me that there is a packet called xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen, I have right-clicked and check Mark for Installation, and then went to Apply button.)
3. Run cat /proc/bus/input/devices in the terminal (I openned Applications-Accessories-Terminal and there I pasted (by that I mean pressing Middle-mouse button this way you can easely paste) this code: cat /proc/bus/input/devices)Now it will show all the devices on your computer, so you need to find the event for your tablet. My F610 tablet is recognised by Ubuntu like this:
recently, i installed the debian testing version system. sadly, i do not know how to make my wireless card work. is there anyone who also hasr this problem? b.t.w, how to check my wireless card type?
I'm looking for the Linux equivalent of TMPG DVD Author. Specifically I want to edit/re-author an existing DVD (from a set top DVD recorder). I understand that TMPG works under Wine although I haven't tried it yet. I'd prefer to use a native Linux app. It seems like the ones I've looked at are for converting to/from DVD format as opposed to editing an existing DVD.
If I want to use the locate command on a Linux machine, I usually run sudo updatedb first to update the database. I can run the locate command on OS X 10.5 but I can't find updatedb. What's the corresponding updatedb for the mac?
Under unix/linux, there is this extremely useful program screen: it's for bash, text-only, and I can detach a session, log out (the session is still running though), log in later (even from a different computer) and resume the session exactly as I left it. My question is, is there an equivalent to screen for X? So what I want to do is: work remotely with ssh -X in an X-session on a remote linux machine, log out, then later log in from a different computer again with ssh -X and then re-attach the X-session; practically resuming work from the moment when I logged out before. Is this possible?
