General :: Building Familiarization With Commands?
May 25, 2011
I can do basics, You know checking my hardware, cd to a dir, bring up -man of commands, stuff like that.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for one to get familiar with using the terminal as the main source of operation? I pretty much want to jump in the deep-end (well maybe the middle 7 feet or so), but with my knowledge of commands can pretty much just sit here and type $ls, $lspci,$uname ... and that gets dull. I want to utilize the terminal and have something to show for it, but do not know where to begin. I got linux so I could interact with the system, and though I am doing more of that then with MS I feel I am not doing enough.

I'm interfacing with a device using putty and right now I have to use a reference document to dissect the data I'm sending and receiving. I'd like to build a program that can build packets according to user input and then dissect them upon receipt; basically an [ english <=> proprietary packet structure ] program that talks to the device via USB. The packets come in varying sizes, but are composed of well-defined fields and values.

I am trying to build linux kernel I am getting out of space after a while. I unpacked it in /usr/src directory. It seems I have plenty of space. How much space does it need to compile & build kernel. I am using VirtualBox.
root@vinay-VirtualBox:/usr/src/linux-2.6.39.3# df -h

I was using amarok fine with 10.04, upgraded to 10.10 alpha, still worked fine. Decided alpha had a few bugs I didn't like so I completely removed it, installed 10.04 from scratch again (I have two partitions, / and /home, only formatted /). Now I can't get amarok to build for me at all. It plays mp3's no problem but when I try to build my collection it pretends to (takes a few minutes but goes relatively fast compared to what it should take to build) then shows 0 songs. I've already tried deleting amarok inside of /home/user/.kde/share/apps/amarok

My clearly outdated Linux course I'M using is telling me that the directory structure for building RPMs is in /usr/src/redhat, but on my redhat system, there is only /usr/src/ > debug & > kernels, folders.

I tried to build linux-2.6.36 but I got this error message
Code:
I looked into gcc-version.sh but the problem is located somewhere else I thought at first one of the files might have been corrupted and I downloaded the archive again.
I must also say that this happened in different versions of slackware (the distro I use): 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1

Looking at building a system that basically just runs emulators (nes, snes, etc). Haven't messed around with linux for a couple years so I thought this might be a great project to get back into it with. Maybe.
Questions I have-
- How easy is it to have a linux installation that just boots directly into the emulator? Since it will be hooked up to a tv, I just want it to be as easy as turning on the power button and then I'm off.
- Is there a stripped down linux distro that would be best suited for this type of setup? Really any recommendations for a distro would be great.
- Its running on old hardware- 900mhz athlon, 512mb ram, geforce2 video. Will this be a problem if I'm trying to run something like i've described?

I'm building the code on remote linux machines, and it takes very long time. Since all the filesystem is on NFS, I suspect the NFS is the bottleneck. Can I profile the build process (make all) down to system read/write calls? Or simply put, what tool do I need to find the bottleneck. Is strace gonna help?

I'm trying to get an understanding of( building RPM packages) and how to get a program to run on Linux. The only info I have found is about AutoTools but not what AutoTools actually does. If I knew how to manually install an application I would know how AutoTools works. Putting in environmental variables and configuring an AutoTools program does not explain what it does.

I'd like to clear up my misconception towards various types of installations. Is one better than the other? Do more senior people prefer compiling from source code? Hows does is compare to yum install or install from rpm?

how (or what to use) to build a simple GUI on an embedded Linux system? I am using the Linux distribution Angstrom with a gcc compiler, and need to draw graphics on the screen. Preferably NOT in X11, but in a console only image. Are there simple graphics commands in C that will draw circles, boxes, and lines?

I'm building a 3-node cluster. I have created ocfs filesystems and mounted them on the first two nodes. But while mounting them on the third node , i'm getting this error for 8 of the total luns. all these 8 luns are of 1GB size.
I've unmounted these 8 luns from the other node and tried to mount in the third node ... and then it was working and again the error occurs in the second node. My observation was for some reason these particular luns are not allowing the third node.
mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting /dev/mapper/voting1 on /voting1. Check 'dmesg' for more information on this error.
dmesg output was :

I'm building my new home machine right now and as usual this will be a heavily overloaded workstation that will serve as development and testing machine, file server and game console (plus I'm adding TV cards and multimedia streaming for my home network). Since these use cases work against each other (file server is unavailable when the machine is used as game console), I'm heavily considering the use of Xen to provide everything at once. Performance shouldn't be an issue in general, but the game console use case definitely requires direct access to a GPU.

my SheevaPlug just died, and I need to look for new device to replace it. My goal is to build a fanless, low power consumption, linux server. Currently I am thinking of purchasing a QNAP NAS device (TS-110 model) and installing Debian on it.

I have 50 identical workstations that are being dropped shipped from the vendor directly to the remote locations. I need to install a identical configuration, including installed packages, scripts and customize configuration onto each of this workstations. I cannot set up a kickstart server to install from remotely because of my organizations security policies. Not to mention that it would be painfully slow. I thought about DD-ing my "Master" build and sending it to the remote sites, but some of the admins are not very Linux savvy. I would really like to build a bootable DVD that would install the cloned Master build from my server to theirs. I was looking for something that would look like Anaconda to the person installing the image. If I could get them through this base install I think it would be easy to document how to change the workstation unique parameters or value. How to accomplished this? BTW, this will be a RHEL 5.3 server install.

I have now a second post on the work I am doing. I am trying to complete a model for translating English texts into German. My concept is a model using a text editor with only simple executable scripts being written to perform steps in the process. I need to use a language for doing simple things like tagging words and translating using a dictionary I am building. I am beginning to use AWK in conjunction with Bash and need to find some members with whom I can dialog on particular topics; even getting advice. Are there any AWK users in the community, using the language for processing text?

so I have a perl script that contains an array like this:@hostNames = (ABC123R:192.168.1.1, CBA321CBP:192.168.1.2, ZYX987R:192.168.1.3, etc firstelement"ABC123R:192.168.1.1":ABC123R is the hostname and 192.168.1.1 is it's IPaddress.I am trying to write a regular expression that will split the element with a '-' wherever there is a LETTER next to a NUMBER, like so:ABC-123-R:192.168.1.1I tried this expression below but am struggling with using regex for slightly complicated matching criteria:
for ($x = 0; $x < scalar(@hostNames); $x++)
{
$hostNames[$x] = split /([A-Z][0-9])/, "-"

Consider that I am building my application in Linux shell using make command but somehow the build fails. Is there any way I can find out that the build has failed (of course looking at shell for error messages will do the job for me but I don't want that). Is there any flag make or shell will set/reset if such failure occurs ?

I installed the minimal-command line system from the kubuntu CD on my laptop, which is guess is roughly around 200mb after installation. I wish to install a Desktop Environment preferably KDE and I wanted to know how and where do I begin from? Do I need to have a working XORG prior to installation of KDE and do I also need to install Window mangers and e.t.c? What all packages/libraries and components do I need to install first? I'm really not sure where should I begin from.
Initially what I am trying to do is to have working GUI system,then later on I can install rest of the packages and software that I need, like office, GPU drivers, browser etc. Secondly,for a minimal KDE system,what metapackages are to be installed from this site? I believe kdebase, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace are required. [URL]

How safe is a chroot if it is locked down? how difficult is building a secure chroot? Does anyone know of any working tutorials for setting up a secure chroot? i only need it to run two applications, a torrent client and a VPN client. I'm hoping to set one up on Ubuntu Karmic. also, I found this, under 'section 4' he gave no write permissions to any non root user, can this be extended upon? which directories do limited users require write access to? what else would you consider essential to security inside a chroot?
