I'm able to access my USB-drive (from which I'm running MEPIS right now) and my C-drive which has all my Windowsy stuff on it.I tried putting the (bad burn of a) CD-R into the drive and it was also recognized, but when I put a blank DVD-RW into the drive, nothing happens, and when I try to create a device-link, it tells me that medium does not exist
View 6 RepliesM$ 7 on my new laptop (one month out of warranty)has died. I have several iso files and several downloaded programs that I wish to put on DVDs before I do a restore. I have tried Slax, Kubuntu, and Mint from USB live boot. None of them will let me burn the files to DVDs. My largest USB stick is 4gig. K3b in Slax shows that I don't have enough temp file space, but will not let me use the hard drive for temp.
Options I am considering:
Getting a larger USB stick. Booting from CD and copying up to 4gigs at a time and moving it to my desk top. Resizing the ntfs partition to give me about 20-30gigs for installing Slackware. Buying an external hard drive and copy them to it. (starting to really like this one) Forgetting it and restore and spend many hours downloading them again. (Really would rather not) I can do any of these options, but want to see if there is an option I haven't considered.
I was recently trying to use unetbootin for linux but no luck. i want a program that can create a live usb from a cd image i have on my computer, what is it called and where can i find it (it has to work in pclinuxos)

I eventually see: ('initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system' The thought just occurred to me as I type this, perhaps I can only install from a CD and not a DVD?

I installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron about six months ago, and it has gradually slowed down, and CPU utilization has crept up to the 50-60% range. The DEV folder contains a large number of similar files - TTY0 through TTYZF or PTYA0 through PTYZF. I suspect that something is not configured right, but, I don't know where to look.
I connect to the internet through a G4 Wireless Transceiver connected to my ethernet port on an IBM Think Center 8187.
This is not related to Linux but a general query. Is there any free software that I can download and use to burn images in a DVD and view them on a DVD played.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe problem is I need the php program to send member email confirmation which contains a confirm link. Run every min may still make the member wait. So I like to make it to run every 20 or 30 secs.
I don't want to put the code to send email on my sign up page as that's no good.
But I don't want to put a sleep 30 sec on my php script and going on loop. If it failed in the middle then it may wait abit to start.
What can be done to achieve my goal and what's the best way?
Making a php script to run as a daemon process? Is that possible and okay?
Once I deleted a log file and recreated it. After I did so the new log file was not being written to. I was told that it is because the file I deleted is still running and being used in memory. What is the memory portion called(such as user space) that the filesystem run in?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to recover a deleted text file. I used dd to make an image of the sectors on the hard drive which contained the data. Now, since I am not getting good results with foremost, and know all of the lines I'm looking for contain "Style", I want to grep the .img, but when I do it runs out of memory. I have tried the grep option -D, set to skip, and tried adding a 3GB swap to account for the 2.7G image. It still "exhausts" it's memory, and it seems to happen really quick now.this is the output of ulimit -a
Code:

I need to learn a few things about CentOS so I decided to install it on my laptop, Windows 7 is already installed on it and there is no CD/DVD drive so I though that I could just create a new partition and mount the CentOS image and install it ... but I don't even see an .exe file so I guess this is not the right way to do it
(Yeah I'm a complete Linux noob, I know that CentOS is not the most user friendly OS but it's really the one I need to learn)
So what you should I do to install it this way ? (if it is really possible)
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (installed by CD) and an .iso file for Ubuntu 10.04. Normally, we can upgrade system via internet. But it always takes much time to get it, with me it's around 2 hours @_@. What I need is saving time by upgrade the system from what I have (iso file), not via internet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo here's the problem. We've got the /etc/sudoers file set up so that users can run commands from /bin like "cat" or "mkdir" without entering a password. The problem is that the "su" command is also in /bin, so if they enter "sudo su", it gives them root access without a password. Here's the /etc/sudoers file:
Defaults targetpw
%users ALL=(ALL) ALL
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
support ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/, /bin/, /opt/, /etc/init.d/, /elo/
support ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mysql
Is there a way I can deny /bin/su while still allowing the rest of the /bin commands?
I found this Is the Success of Google's Android a Threat to Free Software? (thanks to linuxtoday.com) and in the end it says
Quote:
Worse, if efforts to enable Android apps to run on distros like Ubuntu succeed, then we may see closed-source software being used on the free software stack there, too. Ironically, Android's success could harm not just open source's chances in the world of mobile phones, but even on the desktop.
I don't see how this is a threat too Linux but that's not why I'm here. I've never understood why some say that Linux is too fragmented for developing games and other applications. I mean Savage 2 comes in one Linux(.bin file) version and it runs on most of the distributions. What is the difference between all the package formats (like .rpm and .dpkg). Why won't a application run on all systems with the Linux kernel on it? Can someone with more computer and Linux knowledge please explain this to me?

Is this what everybody else does?
I am trying to execute an awk script which is called by a shell script. The result is that it always responds with << ^ invalid char ' ' in expression >>

I wrote this little script and it runs very well, however when I setup a cronjob it only runs if I am logged in. I would like to have this script running even when I am not logged in. At the moment it runs but only when I am logged in. I logged as denis and in terminal (su root) and edited crontab as shown below, what do I need to change or setup to have this script run when no-one is logged in the computer. I run Fedora 12 (64 bit)
backup script:
cd /home/denis/Documents
tar -czvPf /home/denis/Backups/docsbackups_$(date +%Y%b%d_%HH%MM).tar.gz /home/denis/Documents
# above line will produce file with name in this format "docsbackups_date&time.tar.gz" in the /home/denis/Backups folder

I just installed Arch (x86_64). I am trying to setup Xorg. I have not installed a DE or WM yet, I just want to make sure Xorg is 100% first.
I had to edit the xorg.conf myself to direct it to my Intel graphics driver, but now it seems to work perfectly.
Except after exiting X, my terminal reads:
Code:
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down xterm: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) or KillClient on X server ":0"
XIO: fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0"
after 1011 requests (1011 known processed) with 3 events remaining.
xterm: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) or KillClient on X server ":0"
I'm pretty new to Linux and have no idea what this means! But I'm assuming it's not normal, because it says 'error'.
I just downloaded OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit live cd from it's official site.I have live usb creater in my xp box , with the help of which I successfully created live USB for fedora 11 earlier. Now the problem is whenever I try to create live usb using Opensuse live ISO image after extracting all files to usb , it gets failed.The same thing is happening with OpenSolaris 11 live cd iso image. Does this mean that live usb creater I have, was only foe Fedora distros?

I have a box that is Rec Hat Linux 5.4 with Apache server 2.2.3 . I'm told there are multiple vulnerabilities in Apache httpd, that version 2.2.16 or later is better. However, I did a package update this week and 2.2.3 is where I sit. Is there a newer version that will run or a patch for 2.2.3? Upgrading Red Hat is not an option.
