I am not really a Linux or unix user, so apologies if the question seems too easy to be asked on the forum, but I tried using the search engines and failed.
Code:
cat < foo 2> bar
Why doesn't this get redirected to stderror on error conditions?
This works as expected, but I don't see neither the input nor the app output. The application is an interactive prompt written in C. When I interact manually with it, I see the prompt itself and responses to my input, but when I execute the aforementioned script I see nothing. I would like it to print the input and the output as if a real user was typing. Do you know how to achieve that?
If I do the following, if the URL is a redirect, it doesn't work
rpm -ivh http://path/to/rpm
I have to use wget http://path/to/rpm which resolves the redirect and downloads the file, then run rpm on that file.
More for my knowledge of bash than anything else, would there be a way to redirect the file downloaded from wget into the rpm (something like redirection or pipes or something), so that they could be combined into one command and you wouldn't explicitly save the file first.
I have one more question, and that is whether there is a command in linux, such as wget, that would let me pass it a URL and output the redirected-to URL if the argument.
e.g. ('wget --someflag http://orig/url' would output 'http://url-after-redirects-followed')
This happens at random and the problem persists even when using an alternative browser (Firefox & Chrome), being redirected to the same website. Sometimes it's [URL] going to [URL] going to AOL Lifestream.
So, I just installed Fedora yesterday. I have been trying out different Linux distros and Fedora was next after Ubuntu and SuSE failed severely. So, I installed F14 yesterday and everything has been great... until I tried to set my JAVA_HOME variable. I followed the instructions here.
After editing $ vi ~/.bash_profile as the site instructs, I proceeded to log-out and log back in...except I can't log back in. I have repeatedly gotten the login screen, selected my account, and entered my password. When I enter my password incorrectly, it says 'Validation Error' and that is not what is occurring. The display goes black for a couple of seconds and I am redirected back to the log in screen.
I have remote server and when I want to connect to it from internet I need to choose port 2222. I tryed to do it using filezilla, gftp, it can be done. Because they want from me to use default ssh port 22
I've a problem with my ubuntu 10.04 suddenly when I opened my laptop and after I've entered my password then I redirected to a black screen and then to the same screen again and so on what I can do
I want to do a simple port redirect, i.e. whatever comes trough whatever interface on port AAAA will get redirected to port BBBBI thought that iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --source 0/0 --destination 0/0 -p tcp --dport AAAA -j REDIRECT --to-ports BBBBhowever it doesn't work, e.g. nc -v -w2 -z localhost AAAA gives:
nc: connect to localhost port AAAA (tcp) failed: Connection refused while nc -v -w2 -z localhost BBBB
I've been switching out computers to the Ubuntu distro and so far it's been very successful until this recent snag! As I am trying to have a printer plugged in through USB on one computer and shared on the other! I have the USB on the second computer and it found the printer just fine, no problems and nothing else I had to install! I then went to the first computer and tried to add the printer through the CUPS website using all the proper addresses and queue names and I receive CUPS "client-error-not-possible". I have read other threads on this very same problem but to be honest they just make no sense whatsoever to me! I was thinking of just giving up and using a print server but I know that I will run into the same snag as even then I still need CUPS.
I am quite new to Linux. Just some basic information, I am using windows xp but have installed vmwork station and am running Red Hat enterprise linux 4.
When i run ./configure it gives me this error. "configure: error: libnet >=1.1.2.1 not found "
I'm trying to sync a folder between my Windows install and my PCLinux install. Same machine, Windows 7 on the C drive and Linux on an external USB hard drive.
Using the Grsync GUI, I searched for the source and destination folders, and then executed the command. Here is the output:
I am having a problem installing SLES11 on a new server. It goes fine through the setup until it gets to GRUB, it gets me the following error message: Error occurred while installing GRUB

Ubuntu 9.10 was set up to handle the booting selection - previously I thought it was xp but Ubuntu 9.10 "did" it. The system started out as a xp / ubuntu 9.10 dual boot on a 400gb drive. xp has 210gb, ub has 80 and their is a 100gb shared storage. Xp was installed first and then I followed a guide over at linuxconfig.org to get ub installed so that I could select which OS was wanted at boot. Ubuntu manages the boot up menu (Went back to look at my notes from the original setup) The owner tried to update to ub 11.04 and afterall was said and done the machine now boots to the message
error file not found grub rescue I can't say if 11.04 was properly installed or not. Ask whatever you like and I'll give the best answer I can. I think the xp install is okay but I can't say for certain as I don't know how to boot it outside the bootmanager at startup. Data has been saved so if I have to blow it all away and start over I can but I'm hoping I won't have to.
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 I've noticed that if I run Emacs and M-x server-start, I can use the emacsclient program as usual, but if if I start Emacs using emacs --daemon and then try to use emacsclient the new frame locks up and the shell outputs *ERROR*: Arithmetic error. This issue doesn't happen if I use the -t flag to force terminal mode when running emacsclient.
I am trying to setup an HPC4400 printer attached to a Windows XP box on a Fedora-11 box with the latest updates and am getting the error " Cups server error Client-error-not-possible ". Using the Cups GUI on the fedora-11 box I can find the printer, I get verify that the shared printer exists but still get the message when I try to install it.
I hooked up an Hp deskjet portable to ubuntu and keep getting the above error when I finish installing the printer! How do I get by this? 10.04 LTS It's hooked up to LPT-1 port!
i have installed nagios in centos 64 bit. but i get this error CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake. i have totally 10 hostgroup definitions. but i'm getting error for only 3 hostgroup definitions other 7 are working fine.
My brother has Tri boot Ubuntu ,7 and Vista ..GRUB2 is the bootloader..The problem : At boot after the Lenovo splash disappears , there appears some 4 to 5 lines of error , error:syntax error GRUB or similar..This is visible only for a fraction of a second before the GRUB2 menu pops up...
The OS es load properly on selection in the menu so no loss of functionality One another problem is there is no OS highlighted by default and the timeout message "Automatic Boot in 10 Secs" does not appear Reinstalling GRUB does not solve the issue
I am running Fedora 15 and want to add a network printer (Brother HL 2040) on a Win pc reunning XP pro. Fedora finds the network printer, shows that is shares, but when I try to finish I get the above message. I have emptied the spool file of the test page I tried earlier and nothing but the tmp file remains. Anyone have any suggestions?
My ubuntu stops when mounting system hdd. The screen display the following messages :
