General :: Default Arguments To Save Time?
Mar 29, 2011How do I set ls so that when I type ls it actually runs ls -l. This Sounds minor but I'm trying to save keystrokes wherever I can. This is on Ubuntu 10.10.

Fedora :: Can't Save Kernel Arguments
Jan 5, 2010I am using an Acer Aspire Timeline 4810TZ with F12 installed. I have to enter the kernel argument intel_iommu=off each time I boot. This means pressing escape, going to the correct kernel, pressing A (to change kernel arguments), and then entering the command. I've seen some sources that suggest editing /boot/grub/grub.conf, but I've tried it and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm wondering if maybe there's another file that I have to edit, because I don't see the kernel arguments in grub.conf that I see when I press A in the grub menu.

Apr 20, 2011I've been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and like it just fine. However I updated to Ubuntu 1010 and started downloading most recent updates and now when I turn on my machine the cursor just flashes and Ubuntu won't load up. I sent off and received a Ubuntu 1010 CD, but can't figure out how to load it up without loosing all my data from my previous Ubuntu. I think somehow my GRUB got corrupted, because I can still get the information when I look at it from a second harddrive that I also have Ubuntu on.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Grub 1.99 Won't Save Default OS With Startupmanager
Apr 30, 2011I upgraded my wife's dual boot netbook (Ubuntu/Win7) from 10.10 to 11.4. Windows was set as the default OS in Grub v 1.98 via startupmanager in 10.10 and that's the way I want it to be again. After the 11.4 upgrade, Ubuntu 11.4 is set to defualt and even though I changed the default in startupmanager it always defaults to Ubuntu on boot. It's interesting to note that when I go back in to startupmanager to see what's up after reboot, it still has Win 7 selected.
Also, the choices in startupmanager look a little different from what shows up in grub. Grub shows just the latest version of ubuntu (and recovery mode), the memtest stuff, windows, and "previous versions of ubuntu" while startupmanger just lists all three ubuntu version w/recovery options, memtest stuff, and Win 7. If I do sudo update-grub in terminal, it lists the available options just like startupmanager does.
Bottom line, Win 7 will boot if manually selected, but I can't set it to default, and this is my wife's netbook so she wants it put back I just remembered and I don't know if it would matter or not. I did the original Ubuntu install first, then win 7. I used a windows program called easyBCD to get back the ability to choose which OS on startup. When I upgraded 10.10 to 11.4, Grub is back in charge. If I manually select Win7 to boot in grub, that easyBCD selection menu will pop up for a sec,offereing windows or ubuntu.Could this be confusing startupmanager and not letting my changes take effect?
Fedora Installation :: Tip: Save Time On Reinstalls?
Mar 9, 2009When installing, write down your customizations, including settings and software you add.Lately, I've had to reinstall every couple of months due to crashes. Lots of customizations follow, which are easy to forget, but I usually use the same ones each time, and some settings I leave at their defaults. A list lets me skip the ones I don't change, saving time.Keep the list as text on another machine, in the order in which you carry out your steps, starting with what original software you want handy for a clean install.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Save The Default Grub Boot Settings?
Jun 27, 2010I just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I reboot, it stops at a "grub>" prompt. I figured out that I can continue booting by entering these four commants:
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic-pae root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic-pae
boot
I can't figure out, however, how to save these as the default so that the machine can boot without someone present to enter these commands. Running "grub-set-default" tells me "entry not specified." I don't see anywhere in /etc/default/grub that looks relevant.
How do I save my default grub settings?
Slackware :: Change Default Firefox (Save As) Window Location?
May 20, 2010Since school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.

Ubuntu :: Make An Image Of Windows Partition To Save Time And Effort When Wanting To Restore?
Aug 6, 2010Am quite new to Ubuntu (10.04) and have recently reinstalled XP. I want to make an image of my windows partition to save time and effort when wanting to restore this. I read the Ubuntu documentation on Drive Imaging [URL]..community/DriveImaging and am wondering if I've done things ok?
I've booted using the Live CD. Windows is on sda1 and is a 50GB partition. I have a hidden ntfs partition on the same hard drive at sda9 of 10GB. The first time I tried this I got an error regarding my output file saying "Not a directory". I'm assuming that was because I hadn't mounted sda9. It also reported an error saying permission denied on sda1. I then mounted sda9
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
I then changed to root as I thought not being in that was why I was getting the permissions error.
Code:
sudo -s
I've then done the following;
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1024 | gzip > /mnt/sda1.bin.gz
The terminal window is just showing a flashing cursor in the bottom left corner under the above command line input. Is the fact that my mount partition being smaller than my windows partition going to cause a problem or will gzip solve that? My Windows install occupies about 7.5GB of the 50GB partion.
I'm not sure if dd is just taking a long time to complete the task???

General :: Pass All Arguments To A Function?
Jul 6, 2010I've got a sticky little problem with a bash script. Please consider the following code:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
processArgs() {
echo "Count = $#"
while [[ $# -ne 0 ]]; do
echo $1
shift
done
}
processArgs $* If I call this script with Code: ./script first second third it'll print each of the argument on a new line - exactly what I would expect. However if I call it with
Code: ./script "Single Argument" "Second-Argument" it splits the first argument in two using the space as a delimitor. The problem appears to be the call to processArgs, where $* doesn't honour the quotes around the variables sent to the script.

General :: Passing Commands As Arguments To Functions In Bash Script?
May 31, 2010I wrote a simple bash script to let me treat any set of programs like a deamon. For example if I configure the script a certain way I can start/stop/get the status of apache, mysql and php all from one command. I am having a bit of a problem though. I am passing commands as strings to a function and then depending on the arguments to the script it might run one of these commands or another. Some of these commands need to beun in the background though, such as deluge-web. When I send "deluge-web &" to the function and it execute it deluge-web does not start in the background. I can't figure out why this is. I have tried escaping the & with ''s and with a , but nothing seems to work. I know that this is some idiotic thing that I am overlooking, but I am a bit stumped. Here is the script configured to start/stop/get status of deluged and deluge-web.
