I want to transfer files from one comp to another. Its a few hundred gigs. Since the pc crashed i am using knoppix to access the drive and sharing over samba.
I'm using robocopy to copy the files. But i have a small problem with sleep. Every 30mins or maybe an hour knoppix goes to sleep and my transfer stops. How do i change the time or disable it completely? so i dont have to tap a key every 30mins
Under a Linux shell, how can I change the creation time of all a folder's files to the current time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a linux (Slackware) machine and the time/date is like, June 23rd 2003, 10:00am (It's 11 here) and I am not able to set the time to have it correct. I change the timezome to Montreal but the time is still wrong.
Is there a way to force it to sync with my domain controler or even another online NTP server?
Every time I try to run another script from my knoppix.sh file, it pops up and says permission denied. I've also tried running the scripts manually after stopping the knoppix.sh script yet it still gives the same error.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a home server that I'd like to put into standby for a specified period of time (like from 1AM to 9AM) daily. How could I make this happen, so that it goes to sleep and wakes up automatically?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just put together a 10.04 server using a GA-D525TUD atom board. I've installed gnome desktop too. I'm trying to get 4 sata drives to go into standby, but hdparm seems to be ignoring the settings. If i issue hdparm -y /dev/sdx the drive duly goes into standby and stays in standby until accessed. I've put entries in rc.local along with the hdparm.conf settings, but still no joy.
Hdparm.conf:
/dev/sdb {
spindown_time = 244
}

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow can I get the last time any of the files in a directory or its subdirectories has changed?
e.g
Dir - changed 1/1/1
Sub Dir 1 - changed 2/1/1
Sub Dir 2 - changed 3/1/1
File 1 - changed 10/1/1
File 2 - change 5/1/1
The output for this for Dir should be 10/1/1 (File 1 was the last modified one). Getting the last file name to be modified is a bonus but isn't necessary.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was doing some testing which is required for some of my products
Here is the strange behaviour i observed
First i did set the timezone to PST 2010 (which is less than GMT basically negative timezone)
zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2010
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 09:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 01:59:59 2010 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 10:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 03:00:00 2010 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
[Code]....
Note:in the above case when i did set time to 2:59:55 and said ok by then CEST became CET already. That could be the reason why DST is not happening.
I tried with few other positive and negative timezone configuration all the negative time zones resets back properly where as all the positive timezones doesn't
All my timezone files are up to date,i am using fedora 9
I know there exists a touch command to change the date of the files. However, I want to change the files of a directory and the directory time. Is there a command like -R. Please provide me an example of the command?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed nagios in a CentOS vm and now its monitoring the local host, one remote host which is also a vm with CentOS 5.3 and one windows xp system. Is there any option for me to change the threshold time for the services given? For e.g. I had a service of current_load which comes as a default plugin while installing nagios itself. What should I do to change the threshold value of the current_load so that I might get the warning or error alert some time earlier as it was now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need some help recovering from a "slight" screwup. We just moved 3 TB of data from one RAID Array to another. Low lever archive files. This was done with a regular cp (for some reason) and now we have lost all the timestamps on the files, and we urgently need to get the timestamps back on these files.
We are running Ubuntu 9.10 Server and we have mounted the following
1. /mnt/old-raid ##Old raid from the old server
2. /mnt/new-raid ##New raid on the server
I know we can read out the timestamp on the old server using the command stat -c '%Y' <<filname>>
I know we can change the timestamp of the file, using the command touch -d '<<date>>'
To get from the stat -c date to the input date in touch we need to use date -d @<<timestamp>> +'%d %b %Y %R'
So my question is, how can I create a loop that will list all files in a folder, get their timestamp and update the old timestamp with the new?
I installed a newer version of python in /usr/local/bin/python2.6. Now I want to use that python and only that one. When I type "Which python", I want to see /usr/local/bin/python2.6, NOT /usr/bin/python, which is old one (2.4). Also, I want to see the same even after I reboot. How do I do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to edit the system time as a not-root user. I am carrying out the following actions in my program.
1. Read the User Id of the process. User_ID= getuid()
2. Printing Capabilities(Permitted, Efffective, Inheritable)of the process
3. Setting UID = 0, using setuid(0)
4. Calling the prctl(), function to keep capabilities
5.Switching the UID from root to User_ID of the process
6. What we have now is a process with root capabilities as a non root user
7. On printing Permitted, Effective, Inheritable capabilities, I get the following
--> Permitted = 0xfffffeff = Effective
Inheritable = 0x0; with UID = 1001;
8. I then try and set the system time with --> system("date -s 10:00");
9. I get an error: date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted
10. I am unable to understand as to why I cannot set the time even thought the capability bit CAP_SYS_TIME in the Permitted and Effective sets are SET.
Does anyone know where I can get, or have available for download, a 64-bit version of the Knoppix distro?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI thought I knew my way around a little, but apparently mounting is still a complete mystery to me. I'm trying to back up my data with Knoppix since Ubuntu won't start up. something weird is happening with the keyboard and it starts spamming ^[[26~ across the splash screen. When I try to read my hard drive, Knoppix tells me "mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock." It seems like it should be a pretty common error, but I haven't found any anything helpful and understandable that doesn't involve rebooting (won't get me anywhere with Knoppix). I think it has something to do with Knoppix insisting my drive is hda instead of sda, though I have read that Ubuntu likes to tell you hda is sda anyway. Knoppix is the only distro that has worked on a live boot so far.I've thought of trying dd, dd rescue, or just cp onto my external, but I don't know if Knoppix's hda business will make a working backup. The other computers around are all Windows with no extra space, so I don't know what the easiest and safest way is to test wether the back up worked.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was trying to troubleshoot a problematic server. The server, which runs on CentOS 4.x, is attached to Hardware RAID / disk array. Since the OS partition is having issues, I plan to troubleshoot the server by booting up with Knoppix 6 in "knoppix 2" / text mode. Everything went fine except, I'm not able to see all volumes available on the disk array. Only the first volume is presented.
Based on this, I'm suspecting Knoppix 6 kernel is not supporting Multiple LUN by default, based on a few Google search. Tried kernel parameters such as "max_luns=128" and "max_scsi_luns=128" at boot prompt but no luck. how can I enable Multiple LUN support during boot time or right after boot time?
I can't open the cd drive because Knoppix is using it. Is there a way round this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running a computer under Windows XP for years, and recently it stopped booting unexpectedly. It tries to load windows, but partway though loading a BSOD flashes and it shuts down. To remedy this and hopefully fix this, my frined lent me some Knoppix CDs that I could boot from. He also lent me some external hard drives. I want to be able to access my files on my old hard drive.
Here's the problem: (in Knoppix 6) When I try to mount my main partition of my hard drive, which shows as sda2 (sda1 is an old recovery partition left over from when I ran vista), the following message pops up: "A job is pending on dev/sda2" A little later another error window pops up: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." I want to be able to mount my hard drive in Knoppix 6.
I used mini-jackstick. I turned my speakers on, but still it just plays it with the internal speakers.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have recently gotten the Knoppix 6.0, and have installed it on my usb flash drive. finally i can browse the internet again on that laptop, but alas, i can't watch any videos because flash player isnt installed yet. i tried to install it by myself and followed adobe's instructions but i just dont get why it won't install. here are my questions:
1. in the adobe instructions, it is said that i need to unpackage the files. and when i unpackage it, a new directory/folder is supposed to appear. but why does it always unpackage on the desktop? no folders are created when i unpackage it.
2. it is said that i need to navigate to the newly created directory and type a command. how am i supposed to navigate to a non-existent directory, huh? and how do you even navigate to certain directory? i typed help in the terminal (i'm using LXTerminal by the way) to look for a hint but i saw nothing there. so, how do you "navigate" using the terminal?
I really need to install the flash player. I've also tried using the Install components in start > system tools > install components and selected the 'flashplugin-nonfree: Flash support for your browser' but when i clicked install, nothing happens.
