I am having a system with NFS SERVER's and NFS client's. In my system, NFS Client transfer data when NFS server crash or network crash. NFS SERVER wait more than 10 minutes (I don't know real waiting time).My question is how to control that waiting time ?. can i set that time is 5 minutes. then NFS server will wait for 5 minutes after NFS server crash.after 5 minutes NFS client will give a error message ( to APPLICATION)
So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.
I was in the CLI experimenting with lynx and then I thought let's see what this dd thing can do and usually when I run commands without parameters just gives me an brief idea about what can I use. With dd it just hangs on there like it would be doing something ...
I immediately quit that terminal and then I couldn't mount my ntfs big important lifesaver partition. I rebooted and now I can. I just want to ask what damage could dd make if run without any parameters. I don't have any external backup medium.
I know that 'man gfortran' will get me the manual page for gfortran, but how do I lookup only the bit I want, which is '-Wall'? I can't find anything in the manual page for man.I could use 'man gfortran | grep -Wall' but that would return just a single line and not the whole paragraph.
I'm currently building a Raid5 Volume Set (HW-Controller, 3 disks). After some diskussion I decided to don't use a partition since I don't see any disadvatages writing the filesystem (ext4) directly onto the device.
Because I plan to expand the volume set with 2 more hard disk drives, respectively the filesystem, to get the complete disk space available I read the ext4 manual. There is an extended Option called max-online-resize with the description:
Well, although I've searched for more details on the internet I can't find any. Primary in which case is it usefull to set this value because later resizing should be possible without to set this value. Maybe it accelerates the resizing process?
Next, I also plan to use the options stride=stride-size and stripe-width=stripe-width. Is it advisable to set these values for the final volume set (Raid5 with 5 drives) or do I have to set it for the first volume set (Raid5 with 3 drives) and then changing these values during the later resize process for the filesystem? (I personally prefer the first method).
I have just purchased a 1 TB external hard disk to be used for backups. The backups will be performed with rsync and since I don't really care about accessing the data from other operating systems, I think I'll use ext3 on the partition. I'll just be backing up my home directory and probably /etc as well. In my home directory, I have a small number of files that are several GB, but most are tens of MB in size or less.
I'm just wondering if there are any special options I should pass when I create the filesystem with mkfs.ext3.
I can get to the grub screen where boot options are editable, but where do I add the above code? And will it "stick" or do i have to input the code every time i boot?
I'm trying to solve is a non-responsive Dell Inspiron 2600 keyboard. I'll tackle the non-responsive trackpad once i get the keyboard working!
I want to install squid with the options --enable-storeio=null. I am using Ubuntu Server 10.10. Can I install squid using apt-get with options or use another package manager?
I thought running an update from my OpenSuse 11.3 dvd would solve my problem, but It doesn't; I'm not given the option to choose a gui environment. It leaves me at a prompt here. /home//
What are the standard, common PHP extensions that should be enabled when configuring a new php installation? I need ldap so I know I should include that, but what do most LAMP servers configure with their PHP installs?
I want to know how to setup SUDO, here is exactly what I mean. I have Zorin which is a ubuntu build, I have it upgraded to the newest 11.04 - My main user is Hevithan and I have a seperate user account called GUEST for anyone who wants to use my laptop. Hevithan I guess was setup to have max root powers cause when I type sudo in terminal with no option specified it returns:
Code: Hevithan has access to all (ALL) all (ALL) all (ALL)
I want to setup my GUEST account to have virtually no powers (no installing files or programs, no using Ubuntu software,no altercation of anything on the Hevithan account,etc), But I want anyone using it to be able to fix things using the terminal if need be (such as my cousins or girlfriend). To what things should they be allowed to do to able to fix but not alter? And if I want them to not be able to install programs or download porn (video at least) and $#!+, but still get things like MP3s and wallpaper images is that possible?
I used the usual 'mkfs.xfs -l size=128m,lazy-count=1 /dev/sdX' at creation. After that, I would like to use custom mount options like: This goes instead of the "defaults" part in /etc/fstab
I receive the following error at boot: INVALID log iosize 4 [not 12-30] << No one used iosize 4... what does it mean? it is connected to the options..but which one? (At the minute I'm usig it with: noatime,nobarrier).
I have ack-grep installed on my local machine, and find it indispensable for quickly 'acking' through a codebase when debugging. However, on my cheap shared hosting, there is no ack-grep. One of the testimonials on betterthangrep.com mentions a
Rube Goldberg mess of find/grep/xargs which sounds like what I need, but coming from the opposite direction.
I managed to install Mint 9 on a Windows 7 system. It works except for one thing: at the Menu options, Windows 7 is listed at the bottom, Mint 9 at the top. I can log into Mint 9 but all keys are frozen. When I boot with Super Grub and other discs, I get the same result. All keys are frozen.Is there a way to edit my boot menu so that I can get dual boot.I know I can use Win. 7 disc, repair, then re-install Windows' mbr, but that would give me back my Win. 7 but no Mint 9. (By the way, I cannot install Ubuntu 10.4 or any other Linux; ;so far it works only with Mint 9)
I need to know as how i can add more options in the login screen .i.e Currently we get the following options in the "options" tab in the login screen which has options like ("shut down", "restart" ) etc .I need to add some more options of my own . I need to know about the relevant files to make changes ..
to be able to copy a file, then right click my mouse and select paste as and save the file with a different file name. It will save me from making a duplicate and then renaming it, or defaulting to command line (which I live in anyways). Or how about copying some text and then just right clicking in a file manager and pasting the text as a file. It would save me the time to open an editor and pasting it and then saving it. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to grab the latest clipboard entry and redirect it to a file. Scripting the functions shouldn't be hard at all. I would think the hardest part would be to implement the right click menu function across different X environments. For example I use KDE 3.5. I don't even know how to edit the right click menu options (Google should fix that). I could setup the changes for my system, but it would only work on KDE 3.5 then. I would have to figure out how to do it for Gnome, Xfce, iceWM, Englightenment, etc. Should this be a standard feature given by the OS?
I would like to format a pen drive to NTFS, so that a windows machine can use it, but Im unsure of the filesystem option's in Cfdisk. These are the options:
07 HPFS/NTFS 86 NTFS volume set 87 NTFS volume set
I think 07 is probably the right option, but as always when I dont know something, I like to get some advice from LQ members.
I'm having Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 on RMI XLS CPU. I have my libpcap application. If I install libpcap using the 'apt-get install' command, it installs 0.9.8 version, and the libpcap application works fine. If, however, I install libpcap (version 1.1.1.) from sources, the libpcap application does not work (does not capture packets). When installing libpcap from sources, I use ./configure command without any arguments. I believe 'apt-get install' installs the libpcap with certain config options which I'm not using when installing from sources. How to see with which config options 'apt-get install' installs a package?
I am comiling some programs on Linux using gcc previously compiled using cc compiler on Solaris. Below are some of the confusions:
1. There is -xildoff option in cc which is giving error "language ildoff not recognized". xildoff in cc is for switching off the option of incremental editor ild. Is there anything equivalent on gcc?
2. There is runtime link option in cc as -R but gcc just says "unrecognised option". Does gcc only supports LD_RUN_PATH?
3. There is -Xa option to force cc to chose a particular flavor of c.Its for default c and K&R C. gcc has -std option but not sure which one is equivalent to -Xa in c. It seems -std=c90?

I'm not used to using Ubuntu or Debian as a server. I'm more accustomed to Red Hat/Fedora ways and even Gentoo (yikes).
Under Red Hat installs, you can often configure most services that start from init using config files in /etc/sysconfig named by the service. Is there and equivalent thing under Ubuntu?
Specically I'm trying to control how the libvirtd and kvm processes are started as far as command line options go. I need to add the --listen option somewhere.
