View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Necessary To Set Boot Flag?
Jan 24, 2011In another forum (I each day visit a lot of them) a user was stating that you need to set a boot flag to make the root partition bootable, if you create partitions with GParted in order to install a Linux with GRUB2. Another was suggesting that, if you install Linux with GRUB2, the installer automatically sets a boot flag to the root partition to make it bootable (I don't remember the names). I neither believe the first nor the second thesis and I'm hoping that in this excellent forum some Gurus not only are saying I'm right but also give a comprehensive answer.

Jun 21, 2011I'm trying to create a shell script to take an argument and use it to name a terminal tab. So if the script's name is tabnm, tabnm "test" should rename the current tab "test"
This is my code:
#!/bin/sh
echo -ne "e]1;$1a"
but when i run it I get this output:
robin@icarus $ sh tabnm.sh test
-ne e]1;test
If I just run echo -ne "e]1;Testa" straight in the shell, the tab is renamed.
General :: What Is Rsync Flag To Ignore Permissions
Apr 8, 2010I am using Rsync to backup files to a another machine, the users on my fileserver do not exist on the backup server so Rsync throws errors about the permissions. It copies the files fine but I want to get rid of the errors and have Rsync ignore the permissions when backing up.
/backup is a mounted ftp directory
Below is the current command and output:
Code:

General :: Rsync - Cygwin On XP - Delete Flag Not Working
Aug 4, 2009I installed cygwin with rsync on a Win XP Machine. My goal is to backup a folder from one hard drive to another (both on XP machine).
I run the following command from a batch file:
Works fine except the --delete flag is not working. Copies everything in source to destination, but doesn't delete some extra files that are present on the destination, but aren't on the source, which it's supposed to. I looked at the rsync man page, and I'm doing everything right... such as not using wildcard.
The same command works perfect on another computer (XP machine; source and dest both on XP machine).

1)PC1 "ifconfig eth1 down" on linux shell.
2)Check the "ifconfig eth1" on PC2
3) The running flags are unset first(disappear)and set(Re-appear) on the eth1 interface on PC2.
4) unset and set toggling happens with in short period of time about 1 or 2 secs.
This is clearly observed in linux 2.4 kernel with some time delay for the toggling, but 2.6 kernel this will happen every quickly..

Dec 1, 2010I recently install 64-bit OpenSuse 11.3, the first time I'd used Suse 64-bit - I have to say it has been all good so far, which is great. However, today I was experimenting with a tool that tests vulnerabilities which should be remedied if using an NX capable processor. I am running 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop on an Intel Core i7. I downloaded a 64-bit compatible version of paxtest from :
[URL]
Running it I was surprised to see that the NX capabilities of the CPU do not appear to be honored. Here are my results:
PaXtest - Copyright(c) 2003,2004 by Peter Busser <peter@adamantix.org>
Released under the GNU Public Licence version 2 or later
Mode: blackhat
Linux callandor 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-10-25 08:40:12 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Executable anonymous mapping : Killed
Executable bss : Killed
[code]....
From my understanding, NX was one of the big deals a few years back and was a main feature provided by the PAE kernel. I would have thought the default 64-bit kernel would have included NX support. I also thought per NX bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that NX support has been in the kernel since 2.6.8 I looked in config-2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop but did not see anything related to NX/XD config wise, other than DEBUG_NX_TEST What am I missing here? Shouln't this test fail in the Executable [bss, stack, etc.] tests on 64-bit with a NX capable processor?
Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Except With Noacpi Flag

Security :: /tmp And /dev/shm - Mounted With The Noexec Flag
Dec 24, 2010If /tmp and /dev/shm partitions are mounted with the noexec flag then this prevents someone from executing something in those partitions.
Example:
You will get permission denied
However if you execute that same script like this:
Then the script gets executed which makes the noexec flag useless.
If there any way to prevent this bug/vulnerability?

CentOS 5 :: Install Httpd As A Service With -D SSL Flag?
Mar 12, 2010I have reviewed the HowTo wiki on Setting up an SSL secured Webserver with CentOS [URL], and have successfully set up my server.
We are using the conditional <IfDefine SSL> tags around the <VirtualHost _default_:443> section. I wanted to do this because we are deploying a standard <VirtualHost> section that is appended to the httpd.conf file for several Apache versions on several OS's, and this makes maintenance much easier. Sometimes the server will be configured with SSL support, and sometimes not, depending on certain functions of our application that the end user will require and determine. Our application then determines which mode the server should be run in depending on these functions, what OS is being run, what version of Apache is being run, etc, and starts the httpd server in the appropriate mode. For CentOS 5 with Apache 2.2, if the application indicates SSL is required (and we expect the server to be configured appropriately), then we do the following:
/usr/sbin/apachectl -D SSL -k start
Fedora Servers :: Remove RAID Flag From Disc?
Apr 17, 2011I would like to mount a disc that was previously used in the Intel Software Matrix RAID array (fake-raid). If I try to mount it I get:
mount: /dev/sdd1 already mounted or tempb busy
I think my dmraid is refusing to mount it beause of some RAID "flag". I would like to get rid of it, but unfortunately I cant do that on my system (theres no such RAID):
[root@ox mnt]# dmraid -r /dev/sdd
ERROR: isw: Could not find disk /dev/sdd in the metadata
no raid disks and with names: "/dev/sdd"
There are several posts recommending to uninstall dmraid completely from the system. Isnt there smarter solution in removing such a flag?
Ubuntu :: HP_RECOVERY Partition Is Hidden Despite Lack Of Flag?

(As a side note, what the hell does OS_TOOLS do? google yields no answers)
Ubuntu Servers :: Bootable Flag Doesn't Change
Feb 15, 2010A week or two ago I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 on a Intel DG945SEJT-based machine with two WD RE2-drives. I used unetbootin-windows-408.exe to to prepare a USB stick with the 32 bit version of the server version of Ubuntu. The installation went smooth without any problems.
Now when I'm trying to do the exact same thing to an almost identical server (larger HDD:s) I can't change the bootable flag to "on" on the physical raid partitions I create to host /.
I use the the following partition scheme: 10 GB /, 4 GB swap and the rest as /home. They're all on software-RAID1. Last time I did this (and many times before that) I was able to set the flag to "on".
When I press enter it just shows "updating filsystem.." etc. for some second but then nothing happens, the parameter is still on "off". This causes the whole installation to fail in the end due to an error when installing GRUB -> "can not install grub in /dev/sda "fatal error"".
My only conclusion is that the installer downloads some new files from the internet which causes this problem, as I said - nothing else is different except the harddrives (WD RE4-GP).
Ubuntu Installation :: Delete The Partition With Flag Bootable?
Sep 6, 2010Well I currently have a windows partition currently formatted as ext3 which has the partition flag bootable (It previously had Windows Vista on it). I also have a windows partition with NTFS filesystem with Windows 7 on it which is not bootable because the previously mentioned partition became formatted by me. And I also have more partitions for Ubuntu, which is currently the only OS working.
To show it visually: [URL]
So my question is can I delete the partition called "Inter" and recreate a new partition and format it again with ext3? It has the partition flag bootable, won't I loose all of the partitions this way? It's also the primary partition? Is there a big risk?
Ubuntu :: Win7 - Changed Partition Flag To Boot
Jun 2, 2011I just installed windows 7 and ubuntu stopped booting even though it was still there, so I thought I would just change the partition flag to boot. I found out later that I had to create a new mbr but after I changed the boot flag, windows 7 stopped booting and I tried changing it back, but it didnt work. So I was wondering if i didn't use the correct flags or is there another way to get windows 7 to boot again? I was using GParted to change the partition flags and that i am using windows 7 ultimate 64bit
