I have a Canon MX320 printer/scanner/copier/fax to install on Sabayon 5.1. I have a choice of downloading a .deb file, a .rpm file, or a tar.gz source file from Canon Inc. Where do I have to put the file prior to install, will the files automatically end up in the correct place? (I haven't done this on Sabayon before, bet you couldn't tell!)
View 4 RepliesI'm about to wipe my linux installation and start fresh (switching to Arch). Before doing so I'm trying to think ahead of everything I'm going to want to backup before doing so. Here's what I've got so far:
[Code]...
It was always why did You switch from there or that. I wonder are there (or better yet here actually) Linux users, that where never 'tainted' with the proprietary infamous operating system? I mean those who never *switched*, but had either both or saw Linux first (before MS Windows).
How do they perceive Linux? We , the ones coming from <put whatever You come from here> , are inevitably biased, carry a background noise and a "whistle" fading in our ears. I know computers from the days they came without operating system (just mere interpreters upon a BIOS stack) and really do appreciate the ways of *NIX. But I see my kids growing and exploring all kinds of "solutions" and OS-es and they have mixed feelings:
1. They are not bothered if software "looks" alike if it is functional
2. They like certain features on either sides and miss where they lack
3. They, above all, appreciate functionality
4. They miss gaming support on Linux a lot (big names hesitating)
In my CentOS configuration, when I use vim6.3 to edit a file, then close it, and re-open it, my cursor starts out at the line where I last left off. In my cygwin (on Windows) configuration, when I use vim7.3, I don't get this behavior. The viminfo does exist and does seem to get read (because if I type '0 it will go to my last cursor location - but that is globally and could change the file being edited). I've also looked at the .viminfo file and see it getting updated as expected. In my .vimrc file, I have this:
Quote: set viminfo='100,<50,f1,"500,/100,:100
Note that on the CentOS side if I open foo, then I open bar, then I open foo again, my cursor is in the right place for foo, whereas on cygwin if I do this, my cursor would be at the 1st line of foo.. If I were to type '0, it would actually switch to editing bar and put the cursor where I last left off. Anyhow, this all boils down to asking how I get my cygwin vim to act like my CentOS vim.
I am thinking about upgrading, again, from Wheezy to Jessie. When I had Jessie installed, prior to a crash, I noticed that some of the Gnome games in Jessie are not as esthetically pleasing as they were in Wheezy. Also, some of the games (eg. mines) were slower and seemed to use a lot more CPU resources. So my questions are:
1. If I pin those programs that I want to keep will that also pin the dependencies for those programs?
2. If those dependencies are pinned, how might that impact other programs, in Jessie, that might depend on later packages?
3.If I don't pin those programs that I want to keep is it possible to install those programs from Wheezy after I upgrade to Jessie, without causing issues with Jessie?

I've succeeded in getting a connection prior to logon from a PC using TightVNC. I've also tried Teamviewer running in Ubuntu without success. I'm now experimenting with X windows, but it seems complicated.
TightVNC is working well ecept that it opens a new session and I'd rather share the same session on Display 0. how best to connect to my Ubuntu home theater PC prior to logon and share the same session.
I had FF and TB running on a desktop computer which was on Suse 11.0. That computer has gone to the Great Interrupt in the Sky. The hard drive still works, and I can hook it up to the replacement (laptop) with an eSATA cable. Thus, all of my email, settings, bookmarks, etc are sitting there waiting to go back to work.
My new laptop is on Suse 11.2, with the FF version which came on the DVD (from Linux Pro Magazine in February). I would like to A), load the latest vers of FF and TB onto this laptop, and B), move my older FF and TB stuff to run here. I am little more than the ignorant appliance operator so derided by Linux gurus in the "Why New Users Give Up" thread. I want to learn more, but my primary need is PRODUCTIVITY, so what I need is an 1D10T-level stepthrough to get done what I need to do.
I have a file like so:
Code:
one
two
three
four
I would like to insert prior to the word "three" all items from this second file with the following contents:
Code:
four
three
two
one
Now my issue is, and I have been using both sed and awk currently, that after the second line of the new file is read there will of course now be 2 copies of the word "three" but I would like to only insert the final 2 words, ie "two" and "one" prior to only the first occurrence of the word "three" so final file will look like:
Code:
one
two
four
[code]....
So here there is now only one of each word from the second file joined to make the new file. For simple code I have tried something like the following:
Code:
while read line
do
awk -v n=$line '!f && /three/{print n;f++}1' file1 > tmp_file
mv tmp_file file1
done < file2
Now this works but seems very clumsy to me. There is obviously a better sed and / or awk out there.

Yesterday i finally got around to installing my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8400M CS) on fedora 12 by using the command yum install kmod-nvidia the terminal then told me that it installed correctly so i rebooted my system. Now when i boot up into fedora, it loads and when the sign in window is about to appear instead my screen shows random colors all over the place. I am hoping someone can tell me how to remove this via the command line prior to actually starting fedora.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my main work machine I have openSUSE 11.4 standard KDE on two partitions, standard root and standard /home. I'm going to add the Tumbleweed repos and follow the evolution of openSUSE until 11.5/12.0 is released.
But I cannot afford to have my main work machine off the air. So I want to back up the root parttiion each time I go a major upgrade from the Tumbleweed repos.
So I thought I would just image the root partition in compressed/reduced form to a USB drive prior to updating.
First I looked at Partimage but it doesn't do the EXT4 filesystem.
Second I thought about Clonezilla but it doesn't allow compression (it states that the target for the image must be at least as big as the source partition); thus DD is just as limited.
Third I looked at the System backup and restore facility in Yast but it seems to be undocumented (i.e. I can't find it.)
Then I thought why not just use cp because the root filesystem of 11.4 for me is only occupying 6Gb ATM. I propose to use "cp -a -u -v" from a live CD to copy the root files to a USB drive with an EXT4 partition.
So two questions:is there a flaw in backing up the system/root with "cp -a -u -v"
is there a better imaging software for a small job like this

I am not sure if this is possible. I have IP's stored in a mysql database. When I query the database, it returns the IP. I would like to replace the IP with something else prior to displaying the results. Is it possible even though I have not stored it in the database?
I have the following in a while loop (mysql_fetch_array).
Code:
<td align="left">' . $row[IP] . '</td>
Instead of displaying $row[IP] from the database, I would like it to display something else which I define in the PHP code but based on the IP.
ie. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd = hostnameABC

View 7 Replies View RelatedA snapshot of my existing partion configuration can be viewed at: [URL] I intend for the space including /dev/sda1,dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 to be used by slack 13.0. The OS at /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 will be "retired" once I get slack up, running and configuration for my work. In the past I have preformatted partitions, that is, from the existing OS, I have formatted partitions for use by the next OS, using gparted. In the case of ubuntu, that has worked well. And frankly, I'm pretty rusty with fdisk....
1)Is there any advantage - or disadvantage - in my doing this for my pending slackware installation? Will slack recognize the "clean" partition and opt to skip formatting?
2)I presume that slack will recognize the existing swap partition. Am I correct?
3)My scheme would be to provide separate partions for /, /home/ and /usr or /usr/local.
4)Any recommendations on filesystems?
I just installed Lucid Lynx on my Dell Vostro 1000 laptop. The problem I'm having is that my wired network card has died on me prior to installation. I'm having the hardest time finding the required files to make my Broadcom BCM4311 wireless card work without being able to download any packages from the web. If anyone knows which files I need and which order I should use to install them that would be great.

S/W : Ubuntu 8.04 + RTAI + EMC2 (CNC controller)
In configuring CNC controller system, latency-test must be run to find maximum jitter of the system. It counts about 17,000 ns for few minutes, then it suddenly rise to 260,000 ns. It is impossible to control CNC with such large jitter.
In tracing this problem, I found that Award BIOS setting "Delay Prior to Thermal" is firmly engaged in making a problem. When I set this setting to 4 minutes, it makes large jitter periodically with exact 4min 15sec period. When I changed this setting to 8 minutes, its jitter is 8min 15sec period.
But, there is no option to disable this BIOS setting.
I heard that ACPI enabled OS can take over the ACPI function of the BIOS (which may include this "thermal" setting), but RTAI tuned kernel don't include ACPI modules.
Is there any solution to this problem ? If I recompile kernel with RTAI with ACPI processor module enabled, would it be a another problem maker ?

certified linux ----> NEWBIE 45 days old
Well, I just came from India two weeks ago sitting for two exams for LP1 -101 AND LPI-102. i PASSED MY Exam over 85%. I am very new to Linux and I want to implement them in my production area, but before this I need to really test all the different option.
I have remove windows on my machine and install red hat 5, now i am trying to install vlc but it didn't work.
I did the following:
created an empty .img file with dd
associated it to /dev/loop0 with losetup
created a partition in it with fdisk
formatted such partition with mke2fs
copied a custom GNU/Linux system into that partition
Now I'd like to make the .img file bootable by installing grub into its MBR and /boot directory. My goal is to load the .img file with qemu. It would be better if grub2 is used instead of grub legacy.
I have stood it for a long time. Have anyone changed it successfully ? Please tell me and all the friends viewed this thread.I often download login window theme package from http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter , the file type is .tar.bz2 , but I don't know how to install it.

Being paranoid, I created iso-files from the burnt DVD-R and the two burnt CD-R to verify integrity.
The iso-file of the DVD-R was identical to the downloaded image. Both iso-files created from the CD-R were different in size.
The original size of openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso is 719.323.136 Bytes.
I only got 718.938.112 Bytes when recreating an ISO-file from my CD-R.
The CD-R is from Sony. When the length of my ISO-file doesn't correspond to the downloaded one, the checksum file verification doesn't work.
