General :: Make Slitaz USB Automatically Persistent?
Mar 24, 2010I installed Slitaz on my USB. However I can't figure out how to make it persistent automatically. There are different sources telling me different ways to make it persistent.
One told me to add "slitaz home=usb" to the syslinux.cfg file like this:
append initrd=/boot/rootfs.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin slitaz home=usb
but it didn't work for me.
http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/liveusb.html gave an example of how to do it manually but I didn't try it and I also want it to happen automatically.
custompc.co.uk/features/602451/make-any-pc-your-own-with-linux-on-a-usb-key.html is an older article that also explains how to make the USB persistent but I don't want to try it cause it looks outdated (from 2008)
does anyone know the best way to make the USB automatically persistent?
Software :: Only The .html File Is Saves, And Firefox Does Not Make A Folder?
Mar 7, 2011It's a few days now that I notice everytime I save a page in Firefox, only the .html file is saves, and firefox does not make a folder associated with the page in which it saves the images, etc..Could this be because I installed TOR and the TORBUTTON for firefox?I have, however disabled the TORBUTTON addon from Firefox, and restarted the browserbut the problem persists.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Make System Partition Letter / Number Designations Persistent?
Aug 15, 2010Everyone who deals with Linux knows that partitions on hard drives are designated as "sdx#", i.e., sda1 sdb2, etc. I know through experimentation that the number portion of the designation is assigned not according to order on the disk, but chronologically in the order they are created.
Further, if you have several partitions on the disk-say, sda1 through sda3-and you delete sda2, the designation of sda1 will remain the same, but sda3 will become the new sda2. The creation of any further partitions on the drive will start with designation sda3 and increment from that point.
At times this creates a conundrum, especially concerning bootable partitions. Some time back I rendered a partition containing OpenSUSE unbootable because of this, even though Ubuntu owned the GRUB bootloader in the MBR. Ubuntu's GRUB could find and point to the partition using the command "sudo update-grub", but when OpenSUSE took over the boot-up process, its GRUB was pointed to the wrong partition and would freeze up.
My question is this:
Under Windows, one is able to make a Drive letter persistent. Windows will keep the drive letter for that partition and assign around it. Is there a way to change a drive designation number, or at least make it persistent, under Linux? It would be a handy method to forestall these types of booting problems, among other things.
Presently, when a person has installed Linux side-by-side with Windows and want to delete the Windows partition and expand the Linux partition into the free space, I will tell them to format the partition, then shrink it to next to nothing instead of deleting it. This preserves the partition ID scheme while giving them the space to expand their Linux partition into...especially helpful with a seasoned Linux installation that would be a PITA to reinstall and set back up.
Oh, and I already know about UUID. This article explains it, but if you look down through the comments, you will see reasons that it is problematic for desktop application and usage. I want to make it as simple as possible for new Linux users (and myself! ).
Debian :: /dev/lp0 With No Usblp - Get A Persistent Device Name For Usb Printer?
Jul 10, 2011Since removing the deprecated usblp driver from my kernel I no longer have a /dev/lp0 device, or /dev/usb/lp0. I use these for sending files directly to my printer. Should these be created by udev? If so, why might they not be being created? If not, how can I get a persistent device name for my usb printer?

Mar 30, 2011I have a problem defining persistent device naming on a Debian Lenny server.I have:RAID1 controller on the server machine with two SCSI disks.external storage with RAID5. I have / mount on the first partition on the server SCSI disk and /storage mount on the external storage.
I'm experiencing a problem: The system recognizes the system disk (RAID 1), as sda or sdb - randomly.I want: To control the recognition, and tell the system that sda (sda1) will always be the system disk.The motivation: GRUB is configured to work with sda, and when the system disk doesn't, boot process fails, and I end up in the initramfs shell-like interface.

CentOS 5 :: Persistent Device Names For ISCSI Disks?
Nov 15, 2010I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.
It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.
# /dev/sdc
KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n"

Sep 4, 2009I just did a fresh install of Fedora 11 and the only video resolutions available were 640x480 and 800x600.
The native resolution of the monitor is 1280x1024 and that's what I'd like to use.
I was able to get the display to the proper resolution with the following commands:
Code:
However, rebooting sets it back to 800x600. I have seen the edits to xorg.conf but that file wasn't created.
Is there a way to make the 1280x1028 resolution persistent without creating a xorg.conf file?
Fedora :: Persistent DNS Cache - Make It Permanent?
Mar 10, 2010i has setup a persistent DNS cache to improve my web-browsing. it works wonders and with my ICC built firefox my web-browsing is laser-fast, pretty much like using internet explorer in windows! however, everytime i reboot, my modifications to /etc/resolv.conf have been replaced... 1st. the file must contain:
# Generated by NetworkManager (obviously modified by this)
nameserver 127.0.0.1 <----this is lost on reboot, and is needed to make it all work
nameserver 209.226.175.223
nameserver 198.235.216.134
i have tried to add this to - System/administration/network, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. 2nd. my next problem is that when fedora 12 starts up,i need it to start "dnsmasq".i have tried to add it as a startup application, but it doesn't start automatically.so i end up having to start it manually everytime:
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
it is annoying, but so far i just deal with it, because my browsing is that much faster! i am planning to post a tutorial for those interested in faster web-browsing in linux, but until i can make the changes perminent there isn't much point.
PS: i have tried to write a shell script to do this and every which way i try it fails
Ubuntu :: How To Make Time & Date Persistent
Aug 26, 2010I've noticed that every time this desktop is turned on the date & time are as they were the last time I used it, and then have to put in the correct date & time again (this is why I chose the word 'persistent' within the tittle). When I try to change those have to write in the password for the date as well as for the time as if 'login-in' once were not enough! What I want to know is how to put in the date & time and receive the correct amounts the next time I turn the unit on again, as it should be? Do I've to open a terminal & do it with administrator's authority/credentials?

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Graphical Front End For Xrandr That Saves Settings On Reboot?
Nov 2, 2009Is there a graphical front end for xrandr that also allows you to save your setup so that it automatically sets up the X configuration at boot time thereby simplifying this process. For example, at the moment if i want to use an external monitor on my laptop i have to manually set it up after booting as it defaults to the laptop resolution which is not a big deal but would still be nice to have this happen automatically. I tried putting a script into rc.local to do this but didnt work.I have tried programs such as lxrandr, grandr, arandr which are all good but dont allow you to save your choices so that they are automatically applied at the next boot of the X system.

Jan 21, 2011I know how to take a screenshot on my Ubuntu, but I want to take many screenshots within a limited time (taking screenshots of a single execution of a program which I can not pause). Is there a program that takes the "PrtScr" keyboard key in charge and just stores every screenshot without asking? The standard Ubuntu tool pops up a dialog to ask where I want to save the file, I would like a tool that doesn't ask and just saves on the Desktop or wherever as 00001.png 00002.png etc.

Mar 4, 2011I need to change a filename but when I boot up I get the message root device is read-only. Is there a way of changing this so that I can change the filename. I have a Mac Pro running Leopard OSX. The graphics card an NVIDIA 7500GT or driver has failed. It was suggested elsewhere that I change the relevant kext files to filename.kext.old, which I did, now when I try to boot start in OSX I get a message in various languages telling me to restart. I have tried booting in safe mode and from original Installation CD. In Safe Mode I get the same multi language splash screen, from CD I still have the graphic card problem, screen freezes and artifacts appear. So I boot up straight into CLI by holding down CMD-S hoping to be able to change filenames back but it says device read-only.

Feb 2, 2011today I setup a USB drive to use Qemu to boot Backtrack. It was so easy my grandma could do this! My thanks goes out to anyone who worked on the Qemu project!Now, I am wondering, how hard it is to get a distro to run persistently, using Qemu. I would like to have my .bashrc, apps I install, small scripts I write, etc. saved instead of the default bootup each time.
It doesn't matter which distro it is as long as it is Debian based. I did find this thread which I will try later but it sounds almost like I need to boot from USB first... not quite sure. I was hoping I could get further insight from someone before I waist too much time working toward something that will not happen.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Does Blocking IP Address Saves Bandwidth?
Jun 18, 2010I have one server that has Asterisk running.On front of that, I use DD-WRT router as gateway. As I have checked the log files, I saw that there is a specific IP Address that is continuously accessing the application and trying to authenticate to SIP with a series of extensions. This is like DoS attack for SIP. What I did was to block/drop the IP in DD-WRT using the iptables. I can see from the /proc/net/ip_conntrack that it is being "UNREPLIED". But my concern is that does it still uses a lot of bandwidth even though it is already being blocked?
