I want to get rid of OLPC XO-1's builtin distribution (mostly because it's impossibly slow to use for anything, even browser and pdf reader). What's the most popular replacement distro for this?
View 1 RepliesI need to create a bootable SD card for my OLPC XO and am trying to use UNetbootin on my Ubunto system. I have the img on a USB thumb drive and need to now create the bootable SD card. I am trying to use Unetbootin and there I can see my USB drive: /media/PENDRIVE/XtraOrdinary_2010_for_XO-1_Download_Edition.img
So far so good.
"But" the target only lists devices:
/dev/sda1
/dev/shm
/dev/sdf1
/dev/sdd1
/dev/sda

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this is possible but I can't figure it out. I have a file formatted like this:
Code:
>SEQUENCE1
FGFD665:?@663:BBBBAA?A@<<4!1004699<7444399>???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<34
>SEQUENCE2
>&<4!1004699<7444399>???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<34BBB@@
>SEQUENCE3
???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<341004699<7444399>???888BBB@@
The odd-numbered lines containing >SEQUENCE# are the headers and the even-numbered lines containing a variety of characters represent DNA sequence read quality scores.
I want to replace all of the greater-than (">") symbols in the quality scores (even-numbered lines) with a "0" but I want to leave the greater-than symbols on the odd-numbered lines alone. I would just use sed -i '/^>/! s/>/0/g' $FileName but sometimes the quality scores begin with a ">" as well.
I'm sure there is a simple modification of a normal sed command with an "n" inserted somewhere but I can't figure it out.
How can I replace one instance of a word in a text file with a piece of text that spreads several lines ? I know sed or awk is the way to go but don't know that how I can introduce new paragraphs using these tools

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne one my criteria for client machines is the ability "just work" from a generic business standpoint. By this, I mean any user needs the ability to drop in a jump drive or download that contains MS office formatted stuff, work with it, and save it in the same billie friendly format.
That means OOFFICE, right now. Which NEEDS the GTK libs (I confess I have heard of a QT version, but it's the same dilemma, really)
So, why do I bother with Openbox, XFCE, LXDE, E1[6-7], Blackbox, Fluxbox, etc? All the bloat I'm saving on WMs is rendered superfluous by the monsterbig GTK+ libs for the office suite Why not just give up and run a stripped gnome core?
This is really an open rant, but I'd love to hear if anybody has addressed this problem successfully. I guess I'm craving an opensource suite with Office's power and no bloat (I'd also love to meet st. nicholas, the easter bunny, and that guy who smokes marlboros in 'the x files')
Where can download *.deb files for popular applications ? For example, firefox, VLC etc.

I am looking to buy a mp3 player that would be 100% compatible with linux. I recently returned my ipod touch because without going into details, it was a nightmare to get running in linux, it actually wouldn't run. Now that I am free again, I would like recommendations for a mp3 player with roughly the following features:
-100% compatible with linux
-compatible with windows (in case I want to transfer stuff from my gf's laptop)
-can play pretty much all the most popular file formats from linux
-application to convert files so the player can read them (I am thinking about itunes here);
-has FM radio;
-has a decent GUI (no monochrome text only interface like the ipod shuffle (?);
I would think 4GB is enough for me. I am not the kind of person to pack my player with 600GB of stuff and empty it once a year. I will probably add/remove stuff everyday. I also wouldn't mind if it can play podcasts. I also don't mind buying from less known companies. I just need to make sure if it craps out, I can return it or get it repaired within canada.
Lubuntu is nice - but it seems the LXDE version is not as up to date as Fedora LXDE Spin or even Debian squeeze with LXDE installed. I do like Chromium on Lubuntu though... its faster and a nice touch. I am looking for a lightweight 64-bit distribution for my main laptop (it is by no means "old" or "low spec" but I like that Lubuntu starts up in like 2 secs).
LXDE version seems not to be recent (esp in 10.04 version which seems to work more stably for me - with Nvidia drivers etc)64 bit install is currently a pain - requires first install of minimal CD or alternate CD both of which required wired Ethernet, then install of lubuntu from PPA. Native 64-bit support would be nice. Linux Mint LXDE, for example, is also only 32-bit.
I have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).
I run a web server on Fedora 12, principally using Apache, MySQL, and PHP. I host a variety of sites, one of which is a family website that contains semi-sensitive personal data for several hundred extended family members, who all have access to the database-driven site.
Until now, I have been using a self-signed SSL certificate to encrypt the data as it is read and written back and forth from my database. Family members have simply had to put up with clicking past certificate warnings as they enter the site, as most browsers flag self-signed certificates as bad. It hasn't really been that much of a bother, but I'd love to do it more professionally. I have looked into buying SSL certificates, but it's a site I host for free and would rather find a cheap or free alternative if possible.
So I'm just fishing for ideas to work with. What are some alternatives to using SSL certificates for moderately strong website encryption? So far, I run only one host on the domain, but may eventually need encryption that would support multiple hosts. Or does anybody know a way to make self-signed certificates work on most popular browsers without being flagged as suspicious?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 onto HP EliteBook 8540w notebook and would like to backup the entire disk using some popular backup tool.
I have searched in the internet and found the closest tool is PartImage. But the bad news is that it does not support ext4 fs!
I am going to be given an old "piece of junk" and would like to turn it into a speedy little "toy" to use for things, along with my os x and xp.The computer has windows 98 installed and only has 32MB RAM (could be 64, not sure until im given it) and a 1gig HDD. It also has a CD drive and a Floppy.I would like to speed it to the max, to make it perform (in comparison) as nearly as good as my mac. eg. when apps are opened, they only take a few seconds to pop up. I am looking at Linux distros but am struggling to find one suitable.
I was thinking of Puppy but DSL would probably be more suitable.I would like some recommendations to whether I should give windows a fresh install and try to delete whatever is unnecessary, or just clear it and download a linux and use WINE.
I just got this message URL...nd so have decided to use firefox sync and chrome sync. Ive installed both of these but how do i go about checking whether or not my data is being backed up? I cant seem to find the servers to log in to.
