General :: Revision Control Application For Personal-local Use?
Dec 19, 2010I'm looking for an application which does what is commonly termed as Revision Control (RC). Here is the scenario: I have a directory holding numerous files and subdirectories, all belong to a project I work on. I routinely edit/update some files and wish to record `snapshots' of the entire directory so I can compare different revisions. Of course I can store a tarred version of the directory everytime I change something but this is immensely inefficient. So What I would like is to `upload' a snapshot into an archive file everytime I change something and then being able to `download' a snapshot later (for comparison/backup). Only I work on the project and I use a single machine so everything is local (no network connections).
My requirements are:
1. Being able to easily download/upload with one command an entire directory with all its files and subdirectories.
2. Any change to the directory induces a new version including renaming/moving files (even if their content hasn't changed)
3. The snapshot is aware of symlinks and saves them as such (and not as file they point to).
4. The files in a snapshot retain their original date when I `download' from the archive.
5. A GUI allows to easily navigate between stored snapshots and see which changes occurred.
General :: Unexplained Log Cruft And Possible Dropped Packets On WPA2-Personal LAN
Sep 12, 2010I've been receiving a LOT of log cruft ever since I installed my WUSB100V2 (using the rt2870sta community driver from the Linux kernel) and was wondering what it all meant.
Many times when these messages occur it is accompanied by slow network speeds and many DNS queries and outgoing SYNs being dropped. I have searched for documentation for these (error?) messages and have come up empty as far as what they mean or how I can stop them from occurring.
I reside on the opposite side of the building from my WAP. I have taken steps to improve the signal strength, but the signal quality hovers between 50% and 70%, sometimes dropping to 40% for unknown reasons.
My /var/log/messages:

View 12 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Save Iptables When Iptables-save Doesn't Exist?
Apr 14, 2011I'm working on a Soekris net4801 that is running an unknown distro of Linux. The kernel is 2.4.29, and iptables is v1.3.4.
I can't work out how to save the iptables. I searched the whole system for files/folders containing the name "iptables" and got 3 results:
/user/local/lib/iptables
/sbin/iptables
/lib/iptables
I've tried iptables save, iptables-save and iptables save active.
"iptables save" and "iptables save active" give me an invalid argument error. "iptables-save" isn't a valid command. "iptables --help" gives me a list of valid switches, none of which have to do with saving.
how I can save the iptables?

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup Iptables Rules In /etc/if-up.d/iptables?

CentOS 5 :: Custom Iptables: Remove The Existing Iptables First?
Apr 28, 2009To expand: I'm trying to set up a box with l7-filter, and I need to patch and compile iptables 1.4.1.1 as part of the process. I ./configured it with the prefix= argument so it would install into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin, and I did a yum remove iptables before installing it so as not to get in the way of the original iptables, but I'm wondering if this is really necessary - it's kind of annoying, because removing the original iptables removes the init.d script, deregisters the service, etc. If I don't, is it possible that iptables 1.4.1.1 might get overwritten in a system update or something, or will yum see that I've got a custom/newer version in there and leave it be?

General :: Synchronize System Changes On Two Computers?
Aug 22, 2010I have two computers with Ubuntu 10.10 on them, a desktop and a laptop. I have two options for handling them:
Try and keep them the same
Accept that they have different 'personalities' and branch off their on way
However, I've chosen the first option because I like to keep my files and settings the same on both computers. I am in the process of extracting a tar archive I made of my entire desktop's hard drive (9.7GiB) onto my laptop, so after this is done they will be exactly the same. However, upon turning the laptop on with my freshly-copied system, things will become different. If I take the laptop to school, for example, and do stuff there, then come back home, and do stuff on my desktop, how can I sync these computers (both ways!) with the new changes at the end of the day/week/whatever?
General :: Transfer Files Over A LAN Between Two Computers?
Aug 22, 2011I want to transfer files (a music folder) between two Linux computers. After searching for the best way to do this, I've seen that there are lots of ways of doing this. I know this has been asked a lot, everywhere and all the time. The main problem with this is that there is no clear, recent consensus on one best way to do this task in 2011 for Linux beginners (even depending on some parameters).
So in the spirit of the Stack Exchange websites, I want this not to be related to my particular situation, but more of a guide to others as well on how to transfer files between two Linux computers over a local network. I think a wiki would be useful for many.
Here's what I found so far:
ssh
sshfs
scp
sftp
nfs
samba
giver
What is the easiest? Most flexible? Simplest? Best solution? What are the pros and cons of each? Are there other (better) options? What are the parameters in choosing the best method (solution might depend on number of files, filesize, easiness vs. flexibility, )?
General :: Distros Appropriate For Specific Computers?
Mar 4, 2010I'm looking to install Linux on two of my home computers. Here they are, with a brief description of what they will be used for. Rig #1: main desktop: Dell Dimension, P4 3.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 128MB PCIe Video Card Currently, I have WinXP Pro installed and it is my main workhorse computer.
I would like to have a fairly full featured distro that I can test drive as an alternative to WinXP (which I use mostly for web browsing and mp3s and games... I know I may be out of luck with getting many of my games working on linux, but I can live with that). The only other caveat with this machine is that it has to work using a USB wireless network adapter. The wireless router is nearly inaccessible and too far away to plug into. And there are no wired ports in the house.
Rig #2: old computer: Celeron 850, 512MB Ram, 30GB HD, 64MB AGP Video card My really old computer that has just been sitting around collecting dust. I would like to install a fairly lightweight distro (for obvious reasons) to play around with. Maybe get some experience using linux from an admin perspective, like installing/compiling packages, running servers, etc...
I have already tried to install Linux Mint and Xubuntu on my main desktop. While both installed without any errors, neither of them was able to boot into linux. Presumably because of this bug:
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408
Which seems to be a problem with Grub/Ubuntu. So I'd like to stay away from Ubuntu. So what are some distros that you guys would recommend for these two rigs, given my potential uses/limitations?

General :: Allow Other Computers To Use Local SOCKS SSH Tunnel?

However, this only accepts local connections. I would like other systems on my network to be able to use the proxy on my computer as well.
How can I achieve this? If SSH doesn't have an option itself I imagine it might be possible to have a program proxy the proxy on a different port, but I don't know if there are any common tools to do this.
General :: Add Devices To Computers /dev Folder Over A Network?
May 24, 2011I was wondering if it were possible to add devices to my computers /dev folder over a network. In linux philosophy, everything is treated as a file, and if I can have my /home/user1 and /home/user2 folders located somewhere on the network, why not the devices in /dev? The idea is that I might control, say, a cd drive in another computer or, a monitor on another computer. Can anyone give me some thoughts on adding devices to my /dev folder over a network? The aim is to make something evil of course! (like a 10 monitor PC)

Jun 6, 2011I have been trying to remotely access another computer (which is outside my local network) with ssh and have not succeeded. I've done everything I've seen nothing to suggest and as I opened port 22 on both computers, I have ssh configured so as to allow access from any computer (with password) and tried to log in using the external IP (the encounter with these online pages of "what is my ip"), I have a firewall turned off, the pc from which I agree is Fedora 14 that I want to access MacOS 10.5.8.
I need this because I'm running a very heavy program at the university that I can not run on my personal laptop, but do not want to have to go every day to college for this.
