General :: Installing OS's Without The Installation Function At The Bootstartup
Jul 20, 2011
i tried to install OpenSuse that I got via a download link that a friend sent me, but its a LiveCD without the installation function at the bootstartup. the only given options are:
Gnome3
Failsafe-Gnome3
Memory Test
Boot from harddrive
there is no installation option. So after that I just ran Gnome3 as a liveCD instead and attempted to install windows xp from a flash from the LiveCD desktop. Because I cannot install XP from boot (it has no bootsector) But I couldnt get the installation to start, because exe's aren't the same thing in linux.
So I downloaded Ubuntu, When booting from the Ubuntu Disc I get "kernel panic not synching VFS..."
so instead I turned my flash into a pendrive, went into the OpenSuse liveCD and attempted to install Ubuntu from within the Live-CD Desktop. but the only setup files I can see are Exe's, and Im not sure how I would go about installing it otherwise. If you have any advice to get this working, or to get a proper Linux installed on my computer So far I have downloaded:
GNOME_3.i686-1.3.0-Build1.3
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386
Windows XP
Just to add. I have also tried to install WINE and Synergy to OpenSuse, but I do not have a clue on how to install them properly. Upon extracting the tar.bz2 files they both give errors.

the function terminates if no key is pressed for 10 consecutive seconds. I tried using the -t option as suggested in some forums, but my version of showkey doesn't have the option of changing the timeout. The options I get are:
-h --helpdisplay this help text
-a --asciidisplay the decimal/octal/hex values of the keys
-s --scancodesdisplay only the raw scan-codes
-k --keycodesdisplay only the interpreted keycodes (default).
Is it possible to write a script to use this function and still keep the function active until an interrupt is recieved?

I bought a multifunction stylus sx218 Espon model and I can not run the scanner function. I did some research and found a few solutions and very functional. I hope someone solves the problem. My version of openSUSE 11.2.

I am doing some Linux kernel programming for my research project. I need to record the timestamp (by using cpuid and rdtsc) when an interrupt handler (top half) is first invoked. Due to the time critical nature of the problem itself, I have to do the timestamping inside the interrupt handler itself (the first operation when the handler is called). However, I understand that tasks that are not so time critical should be deferred to a tasklet function (bottom half) for processing because other interrupts are disabled in a (top-half) interrupt handler. I am currently out of idea on how I can pass the timestamp information that I have obtained in the interrupt handler to the corresponding tasklet function.

I'm currently using OpenSuse 11.1 web server. This is bad since 11.1 is no longer supported. the reason why I am using it is because Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() was no longer being used. (so I was told)
That being said, is there a way to get Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() to function on the newer versions of OpenSuSE?

I looked on the net for such function or example and didin't find anything, thus after having made one i guess it would be legitimate to drop it to see what others thinks of it.
#!/bin/bash
addelementtoarray()
{
local arrayname=$1

I've been trying to load Debian with no success. Let me describe the issue:
1. I downloaded the iso image from the Debian pages. The md5sums match.
2. I changed the boot priority so the CDROM is accessed first.
3. Performed a cold boot and see a black screen that says Checking media [Fail]. I see this three times (HD is 4th on priority list) and then Mint loads.
Here is the odd part:
4. I can successfully load Arch from the cd/dvd drive.
5. I can also load Mint form the cd/dvd drive.
6. Cannot load Crunchbang from cd/dvd drive - same as when I try Debian.
I don't know how to proceed from here. I did erase my log files and performed another cold boot with Debian in hopes I might find some sort of error in them, but I really don't know what I am looking for. I saved the log files ....

In Fedora 8
File: /etc/inittab contained
S0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/vgetty ttyS1
In Fedora 13
Created folder: /etc/event.d
Created files: /etc/event.d/ttyS0
[Code]....
Neither faxgetty or vgetty start on reboot or changing runlevel. How do you implement the equivalent of the old inittab function?

I just installed ubuntu on my netbook, using a USB flash drive. I'd now like to return it to its normal use as storage so I don't have to carry my external hard drive around all the time. How do I reformat it now that the installation is done? should I keep it as a pendrive in case of problems and just get another flash drive

I want to install packages such as samba, openssh etc. from a CD rather than download it from the net each time I build a new machine. I am able to install them from the installation CD after using the �apt-cdrom add� command but what I want to do is burn my own CD with only the packages I require and install from that. I have put them on a CD, entered �apt-cdrom add� but get errors about the name of the disk, and a read error when copying package lists.

I tried installing NFTS Configuration Tool to auto-mount several partitions at startup, but the Configuration Tool isn't working. I've entered the terminal line to update it, but it still won't even start.
What happens is when I click on NFTS Configuration Tool under System - Administration, I'll get the prompt to enter my Administrative password. I enter it and click Ok, but then it just disappears. If I try running the Tool again, I see a window come up at the bottom of my screen titled 'System Administrative' for about half a second then disappear. If I restart or suspend and try again, I still get the same nagging problem.

I am developing a function say my_abc() which does the same thing as kernel function abc(). Now I want that instead of using predefined kernel function kernel starts using my function. It might be possible that the kernel function has been used so many places.

I have weird problem with postgresql + nginx + php5 0 ubuntu 11.04. Postgresql works just fine, when I run "php test.php" from shell. I assume php runs from shell are called cgi runs? When I open page from browser [URL]... I get following error. I assume php runs from browser are called cgi runs? Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect() in /var/www/mydomain/htdocs/test.php on line 7 When you print php info, only reference to postgresql is pgsql.ini and pdo_pgsql.ini files that are parsed.
[code]....
I did install postgresql by running following commands:
sudo -s
aptitude install postgresql
aptitude install php5-pgsql

If you set or export an environment variable in bash, you can unset it. If you set an alias in bash, you can unalias it. But there doesn't seem to be an unfunction.
Consider this (trivial) bash function, for example, set in a .bash_aliases file and read at shell initialization.
function foo () { echo "bar" ; }
How can I clear this function definition from my current shell? (Changing the initialization files or restarting the shell doesn't count.)

I'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.

I'd like a function in my .bashrc file that would allow me to pass text to it and echo the text to a specified file. I know it's simple as "echo 'text' >> file," but ideally, I would want to alias the function so I execute something like:
Code:
user~ $ write 'this is a test' with "write" being the function, and 'this is a test' being echoed to the file. I hope I explained that well enough.

What i want to do is create multiple informix sql statements & later run them via a bash script.
Here is what i have so far (this works) but is meant to be run from a cron job so it only does one day at a time:
echo "
update hst`date --date='yesterday' +%m%d%y`
set x = 'GARP'
where y in ('CRE', 'LAC', 'SRL', 'JAG', 'JNM', 'BIM')
and appl = '';
[Code].....
The problem here is it doesnt want to read the variable $x correctly so the statement fails.

I had a dream least night in which I was on my computer and I was typing the command Netstat -a in command prompt in Ms-Dos. And I was wondering why it looks so much like a Linux terminal command? This question persisted in my mind after I woke up. So what is the story about it?

Years ago on AIX I used to create a file of key strokes, including function keys (mainly F3 and F12) into a file, and used that file as input to an INFORMIX program, to automated tasks, something like this:
fglgo myprogram.fgo <keystrokefile.txt
Now, I'm using Aubit language on GNU/Linux, and I'd like to do the same kind of thing, but I can't recall how I worked out the chars for the function keys, I'm using a different emulation (xterm), and I can't work out what characters to put in the key stroke file. My $TERM variable contains "xterm". If I type "infocmp", I get this:
Code:
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm
xterm|xterm terminal emulator (X Window System),
am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl,
colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#64,
acsc=``aaffggiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
[Code]....
1. Is the above infocmp output the place I should get the information I need?
2. What chars do I need to put into my file to simulate me pressing F3 and F12?
3. Is there a way for me to put such chars in a file by just pressing those function keys (I tried a here document, but that doesn't work (it's as if the function keys are not even pressed)).

I made the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
logErrors(){exec 2>/tmp/errorlogfifowhile truedocat /tmp/errorlogfifo |echo $(date "+[%Y-%m-%d %H:%m:%S]") Error: >/var/log/error.logdone}
logErrors
ls inexistentFile
exit 0
If I execute the script I see the formated error message in /var/log/error.log, as to be expected. After the script execution, I hoped "logErrors" was not executing anymore, but when, in another terminal, I call "echo something > /tmp/errorlogfifo", I still see the formated error message "something" in "/var/log/error.log". How can I finalize "logErrors" before the script ends? Or, maybe someone knows a better way to format and log the erros in a script.
I forgot to say that the file "/tmp/errorlogfifo" is a named pipe created by the command "mkfifo /tmp/errorlogfifo".
