I am in a situation to boot fedora 15 live cd in to command line mode, not graphical mode, for some testing purpose. how to change argument during booting mode
I'm trying to write a base script which will divide an argument by 10 and then use that argument in another program. Since my argument can be a floating point number, I used bc to accomplish this. Here's an example of a simplified version of what I have so far:
<code>NUM=$(echo "scale=25;$1/10" | bc) #make sure the first argument was formatted correctly if [ $? -ne 0 ]
I'm in widows xp sp3 right now, I'm just wondering how do I go about, setting up dual booting with out breaking my Windows Xp OS, being last time - I setup Dual booting with the Ubuntu setup disk and that didn't work at all, Xp was broken after that. Would anybody know of software that does the dual-booting setup from windows with the linux ubuntu iso image?
I am using an Abit NF7-S V2 mobo to set up my dual boot system where each OS (XP & Ubuntu) will run on a totally separate HD (as opposed to both OS�s being set up on one HD). Since they will be running as stand alone boot drives, how does one set it all up so that one can boot from one or the other? I don�t see how I can do it from the bios. How do I do it?
The suse 10.0 64 bit partition on my box stops booting when it is setting up the cmos clock. The suse 10.0 32 bit partition boots up without a problem. I never had a problem with the suse 10.0 64 bit partition up until now. Is it possible to fix the problem using puppy linux and editing a configuration file? I do not think it is a hardware issue if the other partition on the drive boots up. Would puppy linux be a good way to backup files from this partition or can I mount the partition using the 32 bit os?
I tried using a command likecp `ls ~/temp/*.xyz | head -1` ./But that does not work. If I echo the value of command inside back ticks and put it manually in cp command it works.
I've a problem when I try to run arpd program to support my honeyd software but when I try to execute it then it shows this error message ./arpd 10.0.0.0/8 arpd: intf_get: Invalid argument My arpd installation based on this tutorial [URL].
when I am running the script below,it performs on whatever logfile u type ,i.e, ./scriptname logfilename.But how do I convert it into a function and then call it from another script.I mean how do I prompt the user to enter a logname and then capture the name in the function and when calling this function from another script how do I pass the parameter.
read a files's specific line but return as argument only part of it ie
...
value # this is mass
value2 # this is force
so, how can I get / use the $value and $value2 as arguments for some other file and skip the rest of the line(s) ? of course, the values are different everytime, but the comment always the same, as well as the position of the lines in the file
When i type 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.25.1 255.255.255.0' the outcome is 'SIOCSIFADDR : invalid argument', but when i check the ip address using /sbin/ifconfig i see the ip address is updated to 192.168.25.1 and is up. When i restart the linux box,the /sbin/ifconfig is reset to 192.168.100.1 .what should i do so that the linux box /sbin/ifconfig should not change when am rebooting.
I read somewhere that you should not be reading config space to determine the irq value to pass as the first argument to request_irq(). What is the proper way to determine the value of the 'irq' argument before calling this function? Hope this is the correct forum. I don't see one for drivers.
iam having a problem while using the urlwatch utility in linux
/usr/bin/urlwatch --urls=/home/etika/Desktop/etikaa.txt file pathname is /home/etika/Desktop/etikaa.txt
when ownership is tomcat it doesnot run when ownership is etika(which is the user on the system through which iam running my script why the file which is passed to urlwatch is not accepted if that's file owner is tomcat6 it gives the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/urlwatch", line 221, in <module> for job in handler.parse_urls_txt(urls_txt): File "/usr/share/urlwatch/urlwatch/handler.py", line 128, in parse_urls_txt shelljob_errors.append('%s not owned by %s' % (urls_txt, os.getlogin())) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
but when the ownership of the file is changed to etika it run smoothly why urlwatch does not run when the file containing the urls is owned by tomcat with full 777 permission but run with etika (user on the system) through this iam running my shell script
The ide has xp and I installed debian on the sata, the duel boot worked fine and still does. I then installed unbuntu on the sata along with debian but can't access unbuntu. when I tryed to install grub it error'd out so I bypassed that and finished the install. It told me I would need to pass a kernel argument to load ubuntu but I'm clueless about what that means.
I call my script with ./script -e arg2. However, $@ only shows me arg2. Surprisingly, if I use ./script -s arg2, $@ shows me both arguments. What's going on?
Objective: To move or backup all the 30 days old files to the other server within LAN. I have tried testing it first within the server by performing below commands: find /usr/test1/* -mtime +30 -exec mv {} /usr/test2/ ; But I'm getting "mv: missing file argument" error when I try this.

I loaded Avast anti virus into Ubuntu 10.10 this morning. It seemed to go okay and uploaded the updates. But then it stopped. Now when I try to start it I get the following error message. 'An error occurred in avast! engine: Invalid argument'
When I boot, after startup and before I log on, an error icon appears. I click - it shows a summary of the material that normally rolls by on a unix startup. One item is checked. It says:
Code: Enabling /etc/fstab swaps: swapon: /dev/mapping/vg_knox-lv_swap: read swap header failed: invalid argument I have 1 disk - it has 2 partitions - one an 83 type with a file system in it, holds the kernel, mounts at /boot.
The second partition is an 8e type contains a volume group logically split between lv_root and lv_swap and physically located on sda2. As I understand it, the system is having trouble processing the commands for lv_swap. I am tempted to mess with these commands, but don't have enough know how to do so and am short on the time required to learn enough to master this subject.
I am using an embed linux application and trying to mount a USB device. The USB worked fine in windows. I then put it on my Linux box formatted (I hope correctly) And then tried to do the following to mount it
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 4040 MB, 4040748544 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 491 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
I am using a linux kernel 2.6.36 using mips architecture. I have succesfully booted the machine through Flash memory, but it is not booting through nfs. It is getting stuck at the stage where the image starts loading. In short the vmlinux.img file is being copied properly to nfsroot but the image is not loading.
I have a ubuntu server , can advise if I want to change the network setting ( eg. IP address , gateway address etc ) , which one is the configuration file ? for example , if I want to change eth0 setting , what file I should update ?
