General :: Current Time - File Path No Longer Valid

Aug 21, 2011

I am reading about jiffies in linux kernel. In one of the related example in the book Linux Device Driver, the author use
head -8 /proc/currentime
to print out some time information.

However this file is not present in my linux installation (kernel: 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64). Why is it the case? Is it because the file path is no longer valid, or it is a distribution feature thing? It is not present in OSX too. What would be an equivalent in OSX?

General :: Software Update Authorization No Longer Valid After Upgrading From F13 To 14?

Jun 7, 2011

I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14. Now, when I run the Software Update graphical utility, I am getting an authorization failure. I tried using yum update from a command line after issue the SU command and it seemed to work. I would much prefer to use the graphical utility but can't figure out how to give myself permission for this. I also noticed that my graphical shutdown utility is now disabled (grayed out).

Fedora :: 12 And VMTools - The Path "" Is Not Valid Path To The Gcc Binary

Mar 23, 2010

running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.

1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)

2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?

Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...

make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel

and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:

Searching for GCC...
The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]

and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?

General :: Move A File To Some Path And Create That Path When It Doesn't Exist?

Oct 8, 2010

I use this command:

Code:

find ./ -atime +360

to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:

Code:

/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc

I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:

Code:

mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext

But I want the executed command to create this path

Code:

/old-files/uploads/2010/02/

If it doesn't exist.

General :: Tricking Apps About Current Time With Environment Variables?

May 21, 2010

Sometimes it is possible to trick a Linux app by calling it like this:

HOME=/tmp/foo myapp

This would make myapp think /tmp/foo is the home directory, it won't try to get the user id, find its home directory via getpwent(). This is useful when myapp must be forced to dump some of its config files into a non-standard location different than ~.

A similar trick can be done like this: LANG=foo LC_ALL=bar myapp

This is useful when myapp needs to be called once with a different locale without having to make the change persistent by using the export bash built-in or even modify stuff in /etc/profile.

Is it possible to pull the same trick with time and date? The goal is to make an app use another time than the system ones. The final goal - to make timestamps that appear in logs/commit messages not being tied to the system time.

Ubuntu :: How To Find The Current (installation) Path Of A Tool

Jul 12, 2010

Assume I call a certain tool in terminal like

foobar -myoption

But a) there exists more than one installation of "foobar" on the system or b) I don't know where "foobar" is installed.

How can I find out WHICH foobar resp. WHICH path belongs to the currently active foobar tool?

I prefer a cmdline command with option similar to:

findactivepath -tool=foobar
....
Output: Used location=/usr/bin/foobar

I don't want to dig around with PATH investigations by searching every PATH component. Furthermore I don't want to get recommendations and expectations like "normally tools are installed in...". Think of unusual installed software.

Slackware :: Auto Mount Is No Longer Working On -current?

Mar 5, 2011

I stuck a flash drive into a usb port this morning, and the device notifier failed to show. I opened Dolphin, and I noticed that nothing that should be mounted was showing up in the left pane. I always have seen my Windows install, as well as another partition that has Slackware. I can navigate to /mnt/vista and its all there. I can also go to /mnt/Slackware and its all there. However, the flash drive does not show.I can manually mount the drive and all is well as root. I can't even tell you when this started. I am using Alien's 4.6 KDE packages with all the deps. I just opened mc and checked everything. HAL is disabled and has been for a long time. All did work after disabling HAL.Its not just the flash drive, it effects anything - music cds, blank media, nothing works automagically. Google hasn't

Slackware :: Eth0 No Longer Recognized After Upgrade And ASUS Mobo Replace In -current

Jan 27, 2010

My office has a box which is, by necessity, dual-boot WinXP/Slack. The Slackware I'm running there is -current, all great and fine. Until now... It turned out that my mobo, an ASUS P5KPL-CM, died after a power surge. Since the XP needs software activation, we replaced it for an exact copy of the mobo. After the change the box worked fine in XP, and I was able to connect to the network via the Ethernet interface. BTW, the Slackware version is Slackware-current, updated as of the Jan 9 update (after that I was no longer able to connect to the Net with Slack). However, in Slackware there was a problem: eth0 was no longer recognized. Using /sbin/ifconfig only listed the lo (loopback) interface. The lspci output is:

Code:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P5KPL-CM Motherboard

General :: Get Path Of Sourced Bashrc File?

Feb 11, 2011

I want to assign the path of a sourced sub.bashrc file to an environment variable. E.g. if I type (or execute) from a known relative location

$ source ../../someDir/sub.bashrc

the sub.bashrc should set a variable like

export MyOwnLocation=/home/user1/unknownlocation/someDir

The problem is I can't use $0 as reference because the script is only sourced not executed. I also don't want to hardcode the path because the location might change and there will be more copies. Is there an easy way to create this information from within the the sourced bashrc file? I use Gnu bash 2.05b on Suse Linux 9.
