General :: Change Startup Script Sequence?
Sep 18, 2010
I have an external drive mounted courtesy of an entry in fstab. The drive isn't detected at boot time until AFTER the backuppc service that will use the drive has started. I have to therefore manually stop and restart the backuppc service once booting has completed, otherwise backuppc thinks there is no drive available to it.
How can I force the mounting of my external device to occur BEFORE the backuppc service starts?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 server edition

I have an embedded box on which I am developping a driver using a linux kernel. I frequently need to reboot it and relogin as root.
I wounder whether I can modify the boot sequence so that it directly boots into a bash belonging to user 'root'.
I know that this represents a security issue -- looking at my "use case" this is of concern.

Having upgraded to 10.04 seemingly without any problems as everything looks to be working so far. The only strange thing I have noticed so far is the new startup upsplash. After the BIOS startup I get approx, 25 seconds of blank screen then the new upsplash which is a multicoloured and very indistinct UBUNTU with what looks like DVD/CD control symbols below. After this I get the new purple Ubuntu screen and then the login screen. Total time approx.46 seconds. I also get the same indistinct UBUNTU when closing down. Is this the correct startup sequence for 10.04 and is any else seeing this strange multicoloured indistinct UBUNTU screen. Is it my system/config at fault or is this the norm?

I've been fiddling about with vortexbox (the one before 1.4 I think), for a while. This is a music ripping and server rpm setup using Fedora 11 as the base.
As it was on a test machine, decided to try changing the logical volume sizes of LogVol00 and LogVol02 to fit a few more cd's on 02 before getting a new pc (just to see how it works).
Logged on and opened up the graphic version of lvm (using gnome). Then selected the LogVol02 logical volume, select edit, changed name to LogVol02-Storage, saved and logged out. Rebooted vortexbox since then its been unable to start properly (is this a kernel panic?).
Read up a lot on lvm on the net, have access to Fedora 11 disk 1, so logged on. Eventually managed (I thought to) to change LogVol02-Storage to LogVol02 using lvrename.
However, still refuses to boot completely.
The message it gives is as follows (sort of): Welcome to Fedora Press '1' to enter interactive startup
Setting up Logical Volume Management: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group 'VolGroup00' now active
*** An error occurred during file system check.
*** Droping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):
Loving vortexbox appart from this. Will it be easier just to reinstall everything? If so, is there a way of listing all the changes I've done so I can reproduce (I'm thinking of just looking at all the commands I ran on the CLI).
Otherwise, is there a way of listing all of the commands I ran in terminal and piping them into a file so I can see what I need to do to rebuild after reinstalling?

I have configured opendns on my adsl router. So 192.168.1.1 was the first nameserver in Network Managerbut I often faced name resolution issues, so I configured 4.2.2.1 as the first nameserver, 4.2.2.2 as the second & 192.168.1.1 as the third.Problem is with the above configuration everything works well for a few days then again name resolution stalls. And again I change the sequence of the nameservers or insert a new one & again it works for a few days. I am tired of doing that again & again.

Why is the Linux boot sequence is organized the way it is?Power on + BIOS runs hardware initialisation and self tests, LILO/GRUB etc... but why is it organised the way it is?Would I be right saying it is primarily for debugging purposes?

Is there a way to interrupt the boot sequence, or execute it line by line? Alternatively, after a command has executed and the scree fills up, is there any way to "page up" on the screen?

I'm trying to write a script to do the following:
I have a text file that contains many lines that look like this:
I'm trying to make my script read this text file, find the string sequence "QIEN", and delete everything from this sequence backwards (including "QIEN") so that the above lines look something like this:
I'm aware that grep is good to do a regular find-and-delete as follows:
Code:
But this will delete everything on the lines that contain the string sequence "QIEN".

figure out the best partition layout for my linux installation which I'm about to have on my laptop. Having read numerous articles on partitioning in linux I've gathered some ideas, still there was no let's say a clear explanation as to the sequence the mount points should be arranged on the disc...What I have in mind is to use a single disc space as efficiently as possible considering the head travel. The pc is a laptop, 160GB HDD and will be used as a normal desktop with some simple sound processing. Distro Linux Mint 10. I'm planning to have such partitions and all will come after a Win7 installation:
/boot -> some write it's not necessary in dual-booting, some that it's good to have for security
swap -> with 4GB of RAM i don't suppose i'll use it
/
[code]....
have the most heavily utilised partitions close to each other so the head doesn't move for large distances. The placement also makes a difference as the closer to the inner rim of the disc the worse performance. I'm also not sure about the sizes. Read posts with recommendations but still judging by installations on a different laptop and virtual machine e.g. 5GB for /opt is a bit too much as there's almost nothing in there. Certainly /usr fills up, /var too from what I've observed. / also has scarce data in it so I'm wondering if giving them e.g. 5 gigs each won't be a waste of space resulting in greater head travel.

Is there a way to print a transcript generated using script that is coloured using ansi escape sequences while preserving the colours?
I am on OS X 10.6, but any tool that works on OS X or on Linux that can print or create a pdf file will be extremely helpful.

I have a box with Novell Suse linux installed. It asks for username and password I do not have and cannot figure out. I also have a SantaFe distro CD with which I would like to replace the Suse on the box. I cannot get the box to BIOS to change the boot order to boot from CD. I would like to break free of Windows, but can't seem to get there from here...

Although I tried to upgrade from Fedora 14 to 15 using Pre-Upgrade, my system does not find Fedora 15 at the end when the Pre-up-grade sequence. On the very last step when Pre upgrade reboots my computer it just goes straight back into Fedora 14. No choices (Fedora 14 or Fedora 15 Upgrade Kernel) are shown.

I'm currently using an external screen with my laptop at home connected with a serial port. When I'm in X, my laptop display is automatically disabled, when the external screen is connected. Is there a way to do this also at boot time? Where do I have to configure this? Also I'd like to have my login shells on my external screen, when switching to them out of X.

I am trying to find a way to replace a set of sequential numbers in a file with a different sequence using sed. This might be done easier using awk or some sort of bash script, but it seems to me there must be a way to do this easily with sed. Basically, what I am editing is a Cisco switch config. I want to change the sequence of ports to a different numbered sequence. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.I want to change for example, the file:
Code:
cat testfile
interface FastEthernet0/1

I am working on tracing the signal handling mechanism in linux kernel internallly. For that, i build the kernel. Now, i want to trace the signal handling mechanism in the old kernel. I got to about SYSLOG and PRINTK for this. But, how to use these tools exactly in tracing the handling of signals internally ?. Is, there any tool similar to backtrace to do that?. How the call flow is done internally ?

I have an image generator (IG) running 64-bit Ubuntu Linux, GNOME & the SAGE application all running through an NVIDIA Quadra FX4500-X2 (dual GPU). Had to install a new FX4700-X2 (and the latest drivers) because 4500's are unavailable. The computer works fine except but I cannot watch the whole boot up sequence on the same DVI port anymore.On the 4500, all video came out the lower DVI port of the GPU with the PCI-X connector (let's call that the "a" GPU). But on the 4700 card, the screens you see during boot are divvied up between the lower DVI port of each GPU. The POST screen through Ubuntu splash screen comes out the "b" GPU while the "a" GPU is blank. The SAGE Initialization page and SAGE Desktop comes out the "a" GPU while the "b" GPU is blank.
I logged in as root and looked for a GNOME menu allowing me to force all video through the same GPU & DVI port, but couldn't find anything remotely close. Any suggestions on where I can look? Technically this IG is working, but I want to fix this to avoid future wild goose chases. The system uses 52 of these IG's.

I'm running Karmic with an NVIDIA GeForce 6600, normally at 1280x1024. Just during the past week, the resolution has started spontaneously changing to 1024x768, just after I type the password to login. I get the Ubuntu splash screen with the animated light thingy underneath, then the screen flickers and it goes to 1024x768. I have tried changing driver but this has no effect.
I then have to change it manually using the Nvidia X Server settings utility, which is fine. I can then save X settings into /etc/x11/xorg.conf but next startup it does exactly the same again. I have seen a lot of posts in which Ubuntu leaves users stuck in a low res, or even tries to put them into an unsupported res, but nothing quite like this. Is there a Gnome setting somewhere that defines screen res at startup??
