General :: Fidsk -l Command Not Working Satisfactorily?
Jun 22, 2010
On running sudo fdisk -l command The output is as follow...
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 10443 83883366 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 14335 19456 41142465 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[code]....
I want to change the filesystem of sda5 to ext3... I used the following command to do that....
Code:
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5
After it completes I run the sudo fdisk -l command again.. but the ouput still remains the same.. That is it still shows that the filesystem of sda5 is NTFS...

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and while trying to install the Wacom driver and kernel I get to the step after ./config and get this message when I use make.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I've tried looking up on it and they all say that build-essentials should be installed first. So I looked into it and I found out that it's already installed along with the make command itself.
Anyway to get Ubuntu to recognize it as installed?

Ive set a password for root after rebooting tried to su in console and authentication error. however sudo works fine but if your like me using sudo all the time starts getting annoying and at times i find myself apt-getting alot of packages so su is best for me my other 9.10 works fine which i installed from a canoical cd i went through my normal routine of changing my default user permissions.
e.g(add default to everygroup, and set a root password) so after the first time it wouldn't work i remembered that on my other 9.10 i changed the groups that root was in so i did the same thing i did with my default user. well it still doesn't work but i read somewhere that its possible to change it in the console.

I have a website that I need to go to often and disable a monitor. To disable I need to login to the website-> click on monitor -> then uncheck a box.
I am told that I can do this through a scipt using the WGET command. I got the parameterized query and then tried to execute it through a *.sh script.
The script generates a php file in the location from where it is executed. When I go to the site and check the monitor is not disabled.

I read and saw a video that says that typing in 'links' command followed by a website, will open a site in terminal.
However, when I type in the links command, terminal returns the error 'bash: links: command not found'.
What package or library needs to be installed to get this command to work.

The command export is working inside a shell script, but when I type it at the command prompt / terminal it doesn't work. "export: The command not found" error is displayed instead.
I tried this:
cat test.sh
Code:
abc=123
export abc
echo "Exit status of export abc: $?"
[code]....
I tried it before on my RHEL system and it was working. I have checked
Code:
echo $PATH
which is okay. What could be the problem?

I want to create a Live USB ..I have the ISO image in the hard disk
Where Sdb is my USB
The copy operation is okay...It says no of records in / out and gives the statistics
But when I boot the system , getting the error:
Boot :
In some cases , the USB itself is not recognized by BIOS at boot..
My BIOS supports boot from USB ..I have Boot order 1. CD/DVD 2. USB 3. HDD
Also what is the filesystem to be adopted for dd?
I usually format using FAT or FAT 32
1.mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb -I (or)
2.mkdosfs /dev/sdb (or)
3.mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdb
What is the correct way of partitioning USB drive? - FAT or FAT 32....Most Live USB creators (unetbootin/LiLi Live/Usb Creator) recognize only FAT32...
I dont want a Linux filesystem (ext2,ext3 or 4or reiserfs)for my USB as it is not portable across many systems as MS OSes do not read them..Also I had little success in booting a USB when I partitioned it using ext2..I read somewhere that ext2 will not reduce the life of the USB drive compared to other fs.

Based on previous forum discussions, I tried to install cygwin with 'make' installed from develop during installation. I can even see 'make.exe' in bin folder, but still while running the make command, it still shows error.
I was confused in one other part. Should I put the bin folder in some specific location or just wherever it is placed during cygwin installation? I was running VIC model, do I need to place the bin folder inside VIC source code folder.

I have the following command:ssh $USER@$HOST "ls /ops/pkg/ec/`grep "PKRTS" /ops/pkg/ec | awk '{print $1}'`* > /tmp/tmp_file"What the above SHOULD do..is, ssh to the host then execute the command.The command should first execute the grep and awk between the back ticks, and generate a file name, then ls using that filename* and write that data to a temp file.However, it executes the grep and awk before even SSH'ing and the command that goes to the server is simply an "ls /ops/pkg/ec/* > /tmp/tmp_file" since the grep and awk return nothing on the local machine.

When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.

I have some files which are UTF8 and have first line as blank. It shows as data file by "file" command. If I remove the blank line, it shows it as UTF8 text file. I have to choose displayable text files from many files, so I used "file" command.
Note: I do not have permission to attach file. So not able to attach sample file here.

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
My system:
Intel i7
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
android-sdk-linux-x86
eclipse 3.6.2

I want to be able to use Ctrl+R to have reverse-i search. Also if I press Shift+Up Arrow after typing the first few characters of a recently executed command then the shell should complete the command by finding the most recent commmand having the same first few characters.
