May 20, 2011If I execute
cal 2013
in terminal, it echoes the calendar for the year 2013. For the matter of fun, I'd like the terminal to echo
This year won't come.
How should I do this? I tried adding it as an alias to .bashrc, but I cannot create aliases with spaces.
EDIT:
The final solution:
echo "cal() { if [[ $@ > "2012" ]]; then command echo "This year won't come."; else command cal "$@"; fi; }" >> ~/.profile && source ~/.profile

General :: Win7 User Installing Dual Boot Slackware 13?
May 29, 2010I'm a pretty experienced Windows user, and have coded in x86 and win32 API for a while, so I know the system reasonably well. I've used windows since the days of Win95, and prior to that I had an Amiga - so I'm pretty rusty in unix-like operating systems. I have little C coding knowledge beyond reading it, though I can understand what the programmer is doing from reading the source. My only experience with installing linux was on a 486 laptop that failed spectacularly when the CDROM couldn't be detected and used, so I'm necessarily a little wary of doing this, but I've become quite exasperated with Windows lately.
I have decided to make my life interesting (if not easier at first) by dual-booting Linux with Win7. My current machine is a dual-core intel laptop with 2GB of RAM and an ATI X1250 mobile GPU, with a 120GB HDD. I have two partitions currently on this machine - both 60GB-ish. The main C: drive is Win7. I'm aware of the hidden partition that Windows installs. I have an external 1TB USB drive for my applications and data, so space shouldn't be a problem. There is no floppy drive (unsurprisingly) and I can boot from the internal DVD drive.
I have chosen the Slackware 13 distro because it seems to be well respected as a learning tool for unix-like operating systems. My main aim here is not to abandon Windows at first, but to learn a new OS. I'm aware that Slack may not be the most user-friendly distro, but will give me knowledge that I might not gain under other distros. If I'm making a mistake here, then let me know! I have plenty of free time to devote to this little project, and I'm not afraid to learn. I am however afraid to destroy my Win7 fall-back. If all else fails, I need to be able to go back to a working OS to jump on the net to find the answer to what went wrong.
So my question, as per the subject title, is: What do I need to know before I do this? I have no idea what I'm doing with regard disk partitioning beyond Partition Magic - which I don't actually possess anymore. I can use the Windows disk management app. I have no idea how to manage a boot sector. So are there any gotchas that I need to bear in mind? I've already read this thread: [URL]. Which I must admit looks very complicated! I have a fair bit of time before my Slackware 13 DVD-ISO image downloads (20KB/Sec) so have some time to gather information.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Browsing Hangs - But Everything Works - Did Not Happen On 9.10
Aug 10, 2010Its on an older laptop, a Toshiba Sattelite M50-252. A friend of mine had this laying around, and it wasn't running windows very well. So I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it and it was performing decently enough for browsing and mailing.
On Ubuntu 9.10 there was a problem sending large images for printing. It would make the printer (A brother HL-4050 CDN, placed on the network) say out-of-memory. Same print job from windows would not make this error. Upgrading the system to Ubuntu 10.04 worked.
Actually, I had before tried 10.04 on the machine but ended up formatting and reinstalling 9.10. This was because browsing on 10.04, no matter what browser, would simply hang randomly. A search on google could be performed, and some pages loaded. But some pages didn't load at all or only a few % of them, and the browser would just claim to be "resolving host".
On 9.10, on all 3 installs i've done on the machine, this problem was NOT to be found.
Here goes the real issue: 4 days ago I installed 10.04 to test again(6 months after its release, lots of updates has been done), and browsing worked great. The laptop has been used a lot since then and now yesterday it started stalling again. The most interesting thing is that APT-GET works fine. New software downloads with a snap. Also WGET with a single file works (although it seems to hang at the resolve once in a while).
Why on earth did it suddenly start to behave like this? Nobody with even the knowledge of using SUDO has been using the machine and it has been used ONLY for browsing. Automatic updates are disabled as well. Even weirder, this happens both using the wireless network card and cable.
I have no idea whats going on. Ubuntu 9.10 works always. 10.04 worked the second time (after a few months of updates) but started stalling after a few days. The system itself runs perfectly well, and there is nothing wrong with apt-get and so on as i said.

View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Resizing Partitions With GParted And What Will Happen With Grub
May 7, 2010I want to resize and eventually remove some partitions on my drive but I need to know how this will affect grub and what to do if I need to fix it.I currently have 3 standard partitions and 1 extended partition on a 160Gb drive.
1st Partition -Windows XP about 60Gb with about 35Gb used. NTFS
2nd Partition -Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 amd64 about 40Gb, 22Gb used ext4
3rd Partition -Linux swap about 2.5Gb
Extented Partition -Ubuntu 9.10 about 49Gb with 23Gb used ext4
I'd like to shrink the Extended partition down and add the space to the 2nd partion where Lucid is. Eventually, I'll want to delete the whole extended partition and add all the space to the Lucid partition.
After using GParted to resize these partitions, what will happen when I boot? Will I need to tell grub where the swap and 9.10 are? I am not changing the start of the first two partitions so I would assume there will not be any problem with them (I'm not sure how moving the start of the swap might affect the Lucid installation though).

Mar 18, 2011I am struggling with getting an sshfs mount mounted on system boot. I have a script that mounts the sshfs for "userA". When userA runs the script all is well - user A can access the remote filesystem, root user can't see it as expected. The basic command is: sshfs userA@remote host:/home/userA /home/userA/mountdir -p 21212 -o password_stdin < passwordfile. I can prepend the sshfs command in the script with su - userA -c and when I run this script logged in as root all is well, userA has access and all is well. If I then put this script in /etc/init.d and reference it properly in the rc. directories the mount doesn't happen. If I prepend the sshfs command with sudo, same thing. Logged in as root I can run the script and UserA has access. Run the script in /etc/init.d during startup and the mount doesn't happen. Echoing text to a log file shows that the script is being executed but no mount happens.

As a result, what happens with directory /home/john_dir ? If I am a person who likes to do some settings not in the GUI but by editing the files user's home dir directly (those begining with a period), won't I find this dir to be a real mess?

Slackware :: (ver. 13.37) After Delay, New User Causes X To Crash?
Jun 13, 2011I have a new installation of Slackware 13.37 on an old Dell Optiplex P4. Right after installation (when I only had a root account) I found that X (regardless of window manager) would develop video problems after a few minutes (horizontal lines, slowdown -- though without crashing). A message board informed me that that there was a bug in my onboard Intel video chip that would require me to enable shadow buffering (which amounts to disabling 2D acceleration). I made the change in the Xorg.conf, and the issue disappeared.
However, once I finally got around to adding a new user, X began acting up again, though I have no idea whether it's related to the earlier problem. Now, after a few minutes, it actually crashes -- though only when started under the new user. Root still works fine. I'm new to Linux, and still trying to sort through all the different logging tools, so I'm not sure what I ought to be posting. Here's the relevant bit from Xorg.0.log:
Code:

Slackware :: What Groups Should User Be Added To
Jun 12, 2011So I just recently installed fresh 13.37 over my 13.1 install. Went multilib, and added myself to the usergroups I thought I might need. But truth is, I don't know what half of these are and I just picked the ones that sounded right. I'm the only user on this computer, although I might possibly maybe add another someone if I have to for some reason.
For my user account, I added myself to:
Code:
bin
disk
mem
kmem
wheel
floppy
mail
news
uucp
man
dialout
audio
video
cdrom
games
mysql
sshd
gdm
shadow
ftp
messagebus
haldaemon
plugdev
power
netdev
scanner
users
console
kismet
vboxusers
Basically, I want my own account to be able to do everything I normally do without too much restriction (use the disc drive, mount hard drives, browse the web, read/send email via Thunderbird, download stuff, etc), but leaving the important stuff to root so that if someone else happens to use the computer under my account, they can't do any damage. Did I select the right groups for this? Should I add or remove any? And what groups should a user have if I just want them able to browse the web, download files, use their /home, run non-root apps, and nothing else?
