An app failed to load properly and now i'm stuck in a sequence I don;t understand the solution for.
sudo apt-get autoremove
dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I can't find a Yum command to clean up no longer needed dependencies, you know similar to apt-get autoremove. Or does yum do this with the erase or remove command? btw: yum-clean-all just flushes out the cache right?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am reading the output of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature in a program to read my CPU temp. I am using cat like the following:
Code:
#cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature
temperature: 49 C
I basically want to get rid of the spaces in between temperature and the actual temperature. Is there a command I can pipe the cat output to, to remove the spaces. I have seen suggestions for sed, or tr, but for some reason I cannot get them to work properly.
Sorry if it is a dumb question (i'm coming from deb/ubuntu and i'm totally new to rpm - installed Smeegol on a Samsung N150). After some try&error i finally got my Broadcom4313 working but underway to that i got lots of new kernels and now i don't understand not so much anymore.
I think the kernel default-devel it was me installing it using the distribution manager to get working make (for trying to install the original Broadcom driver package; i stopped that attempt because i didn't where exactly to move/cp the built driver).

I want to delete all files within a specific folder without actually deleting the folder, what is a good bash command for this?. I found this one but encountered some errors even though I am executing it within the specific folder:
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
[1] 5052
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find: missing argument to `-exec'
[1]+ Exit 1 find . -type f -exec rm -rf
The command as it appears is:
find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
how to delete only the files contained within the folder called "folder" for example?

I did "uname -a" and it's showing that I'm using 2.6.31-16-generic of the Linux Kernel. Now, in the GRUB2 boot menu, it's showing
2.6.31-14-generic & recovery
2.6.31-15-generic & recovery
and the current one: 2.6.31-16-generic & recovery.
I would like to remove the old ones because of the pileup they're creating.
Other info: I have wXP pro as my dualboot OS.
Bash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT.However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again).
I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi am setting up a software raid6 for the first time. To test the raid i removed a drive from the array by popping it out of the enclosure. mdadm marked the drive as F and everything seemed well. From what i gather the next step is to remove the drive from the array (mdadm /dev/md0 -r sdf), when i try this i receive the error:
mdadm: cannot find /dev/sdf: No such file or directory
That is true, when i plugged the drive back in the machine now recognizes it as /dev/sdk. My question is how do i remove this non-existent failed drive from my array as i was able to re-add it just fine as /dev/sdk with mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdk
Also, is there any way to define a drive based on id or something similar to the same drive name to avoid this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWhile attempting to uninstall Perl (through Yast) from my SUSE installation, it ended up deleted everything important in OS
compilers are gone, SVN gone.
Its a dedicated server and lots of other applications were running on it.
now it says "-bash: yast: command not found".
I would like to remove/create partitions on a harddrive without going into the menu of fdisk.
can one pass options to fdisk to create and delete without going into the menu? So that I can write a script to do that automatically.
Or if fdisk isn't capable, what other alternatives do I have?

How we can do this using script?
I ssh to a remote server which is running in SUSE. And I want to install apache2.0 there. Then I used yast2 to install it. But after installing it, I go to the terminal and type" apache -version" to check if apache is installed there. And it said "-bash: apache: command not found". I don't if I haven't successfully installed it, or I have installed it but just haven't put it into PATH yet. So, my problem is that can anyone tell how to check if I have installed it? If I have installed it, then what is the path of the directory it locates? And if I haven't probably installed it, then can you tell me the how I can installed it? And I am asked to install apache mod_wsgi as well.

or if $META1 contains the same word "start, I get:

The purpose of the script is to evaluate a parameter that a user might include when they invoke my script, and compare it to some data that $META1 might contain. If they match I want to set a flag and later launch Xine. If they do not match, I want to set a flag to zero and do something else. I'm a bit lost as to what the responses are trying to tell me in the terminal window when I run this script.

I have set up a user to login remotely to our Red Hat 5 server via SSH. A rule in our department firewall enables this user to login from a single static ip address. The ssh port on our server is 22. I am able to login to port 22 from locations within our department firewall. Our administrator says the firewall configuration is unchanged. The remote user had been successful logging in. But now the remote user gets a Connection Timed Out message, before being asked to authenticate by the server.
I regenerated security keys, but the remote user still gets the connection timed out message. (I can login locally with the new keys). I suspect either a firewall or an authentication problem--inclining a firewall problem. Am I correct? Is there a Linux command to check whether port 22 is available or blocked, prior even to authentication, for login from the user's remote location?
I would like to change the formatting on my BASH prompt from this:
anon@machinename.domain.poo:~/some/very/annoying/long/path$
to something like this:

$
The idea is that I would be able to type a reasonably long command on one line without it wrapping to the next line so quickly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to delete the currently entered commandline without wasting seconds on the "Backspace"-key.
For example I scrolled the bash history and have a long commandline that would execute when I pressed ENTER:
~$ aptitude search openssl | grep dev
But now I decide that I do not want to execute this command. Can I get an empty prompt fast without deleting the whole line with Backspace? On the Windows "cmd" you can just press ESCAPE and it is gone. This behavior would be what I want.
The question may seem trivial but this is bothering me for a long time now.
I'm trying to use the dirs command with the +N option. The manual says: dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Direc- tories are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from the list. +n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with zero.
dirs -v shows:
0 /dir1/
1 /dir2/
2 /dir3/
However, dir +n 1, dir +N 1, dir -v +n 1, dir -v +N 1 all give:
