General :: Cramfsck: Superblock Magic Not Found (Scientific)?
Jan 2, 2010I have come across a problem on my Scientific Linux, I have searched the forum but couldn't find what I am looking for, so I decided to post my question here.well, here what I did: under the Terminal I got Cramfs-1.1.tar.gz installed, and then i used the "make" command to build the cramfsck and mkcramfs and it was all successful.so now I have an image I called it "backup.img", and I tried following command:./cramfsck -x ./output backup.imgbut unfortunetly I got the following message:./cramfsck: superblock magic not foundSo I kept on thinking what is this Superblock magic thingy? I did a google search but I kind of got lost and didn't end up finding anything useful, but I am just thinking it could be some kind of package which I need to install? I tried the following command:apt-get install magicbut it seems there is not such package exists with that name.

General :: Conflicting /usr & /etc Files While Installing Fedora 15 And Scientific Linux 6.1
Aug 9, 2011Until some time ago I had a dual Windows 7 and Fedora operating system, then I completely moved to Fedora. Recently I have become interested in Scientific Linux and wanted to install it besides my Fedora. I took a back up of all my data and formatted my HDD for a clean install of both of them. This is what I did:
First I installed Scientific Linux with these partitions (contents of /etc/fstab):
[Code]...
Then I went on to install Fedora 15; I kept the same primary and extended partitions but only changed the names of "/FedoraRoot" to "/" and "/" to "/SLRoot" in the above list while installing Fedora. I also chose the boot directory of Fedora to be /dev/sda1/ which I wanted to be the /boot file for both systems while I had chosen the boot file for Scientific Linux to be "/dev/sda".
Everything went well until the final step of copying the files an error came that some of files that Fedora wanted to install in /usr/share, /usr/lib64, /usr/bin, /etc/system..., /etc/issue..., /etc/redhat-release... and /etc/rpm are already present in the Scientific Linux format and so there is a conflict and it has to terminate!!! I must have made some strange mistakes in the definitions
Slackware :: Which Desktop Environment Is Optimized For Work
Feb 15, 2011I am currently on the job of customizing my laptops for different usage areas. I am very new to Linux (~2-3 weeks) and have not yet developed a solid understanding of the purpose of the different desktop environments.This is why I came to you. I assume most DE's can perform the same tasks as any other DE if you tweak stuff enough, but I am currently lost in this wilderness, and would love to hear the strengths and weaknesses for the different DE's so I can settle for something and get good at it... (I'm going to mainly use it for programming, if that's any vital information.

Debian Configuration :: Make Fn Keys Work Independently Of Environment
Jan 5, 2016I want fn* keys working for all users in all DE/WM and at tty too. I want it even if nobody logged in. Is it possible? How to set it up?
I mean these keys:
toggle wifikbd backlight +/−screen backlight +/−enable/disable screentoggle screensenable/disable touchpadvolume controls
I understand that some of them may work only with Xorg (e.g. toggle screens), but screen and kbd backlight and volume may work at tty too (because I can change this from tty when xorg is down). I know how to do it all from the console, but I want to bind keys with actions.
E.g. I can change kbd backlight with dbus and attach this action to key in my wm config, but it is not what I want. I want to make it global. I don’t understand which layer may provide the functionality for all users. Now only two keys works as I expect: toggle wifi and toggle touchpad. I haven’t set it up, it works out of the box.

OpenSUSE Network :: Telnet Does Not Work In IPv6 Test Environment
Aug 27, 2010In an IPv6 test environment I have installed an openSUSE 11.2 system. I have also installed telnet and it works with IPv4 (I can open a session from a Windows console with "telnet ipv4addr").
If I try to open a session with "telnet ipv6addr" I get the response: "Connecting To ipv6addr. Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed".
Does the telnetserver support IPv6 or did I something wrong?
Red Hat / Fedora :: Can't Login To Scientific?

And I doubt installing the 2 disks again is going to help this problem go away. How does one login to SL after the install?

May 8, 2011AMD 64-bit quad core
Scientific Linux 6.0
Gnome 2.28
I have been trying to install openoffice, or libreoffice, and it's just an awful chore.
I tried using the gui tool. When I searched for libreoffice, I got nothing. When I searched for openoffice, I got a disorganized mess of separate apps, most of which seemed to have nothing to do with any office.
I got openoffice writer installed, then openoffice calc, but calc does not work.
So I downloaded libreoffice, and I am trying to go though the manual chore of getting it installed. But, the old openoffice is conflicting, and uninstalling open office is no easy task.
I went to the gui tool, and uninstalled the openoffice apps. But I when I try to install the desktop-integration RPMs, I keep getting a long series errors like this:

Red Hat / Fedora :: Xorg.conf Causing On Scientific 5.5?
Apr 5, 2011I am new to RHEL. I am using a Thinkpad W510 and SL 5.5. I am trying to get everything working smoothly on my system.I am having issues with the gpu drivers and the touchpad, both of which seem to be traced back to xorg.conf.I can set the proper resolution using nvidia-settings, but it resets to 800x600 on restart no matter what I do. I have used the gui to save, I have tried nvidia-xconfig, and I have tried to just editing the xorg myself, but it always goes back.I am having even worse problems with the trackpad. I downloaded and installed the synaptics package, but nothing I do changes the trackpad settings. Mouse properties has no trackpad info in it.

Jul 24, 2010I just found out about this distro using search on these forums and it kind of excited me because I am a chemistry student. I was wondering if anyone has used it and if so does it have any Chemsketch equivalent programs included with it ?
If not (or even if it does) do you have any suggestions of programs that are the same as (on a ease of use/quick to pick up scale) or better than for simple/quick organic and inorganic modeling/reaction modeling ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRed Hat :: Very Slow Terminal Commands In RHEL-5.4 / Scientific
Apr 8, 2010I have a new installation of Scientific Linux, which is basically RHEL/CentOS 5.4.
Everything works fine with it, its nice to see KDE3.5 again BUT
certain commands in cli (console, konsole, xterm whatever) take an age to run. The worst offender is vim, which takes about 20 seconds to open fstab for example. Even mkdir takes about 10 seconds to run.
I am used to these type of operations being almost instantaneous, so there is obviously something wrong here, but I can't imagine what.
Fedora Servers :: Setting Up A Cluster For Scientific Computing?
Mar 2, 2010I want to set up a cluster for scientific computing (mainly statistical stuff with R). I have a few conceptual questions. First, is there a difference between a Beowulf cluster and a cluster that has single-system image ("SSI," e.g. using openSSI or LinuxPMI)? If so, what's the difference? Second, if there is a difference between Beowulf and SSI, which one is better for scientific computing? Third, does using Eucalyptus make sense for scientific computing or is this more suitable for IO-oriented operations such as web service or databases

Feb 18, 2010I hope I'm posting in the right forum for this (since Scientific Linux is based on RHEL)...I downloaded the Scientific Linux 5.4 "Boron" Install DVD's, and I can't get the DVD to boot. It gets to the point where it tries to initialize SMP (I have a Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor), and it just crashes and reboots my computer. I've tried disabling ACPI, APIC and APM using the noacpi, no apic, and apm=off options, one at a time, and all 3 at once (since the problem seems to be with APIC, because it fails to initialize on all 4 of the processor cores)...does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here, or how I can fix this? I really want to run Scientific Linux, but I can't since it crashes.

my second problem is that I cannot figure out how to enable wake on lan in scientific linux (RHEL). on ubuntu I would just write a small script and update all runlevels to run it at startup. what is the alternative on redhat?
General :: Set Up Remote Environment After SSH?
May 16, 2010I would like to set up the shell env that i get after SSH to a remote host.
I am using a color screen in my terminal, having cusomtized LS_COLORS environment variable. Problem is, every time i log in to a remote host using SSH, i have to manually export LS_COLORS. You can say put that in ever .bashrc file in every host, but that is not very helpful because the remote host are lab servers that keep getting new OS very often(testing stuff), and the team and I usually log in there with root user.
Is there a way to do that?
