I have a sed question
I got the following
(12121) and I want to replace the () with xxxx
so the output would be
xxxx12121
I am using the following but its not working
sed 's/(.*)/xxxxxx/g' TMP4 > TMP5
Can the Replace function replace more than one word with the same character(s)?
Also, do you know how to access the plugins provided by the gedit-plugins package?
Fresh install of 9.10. Update all. The update froze at the very end: configuring grub-pc. I let it run like that all night before settling for a reboot while the update manager was still running. (The update also raised the kernel version.) After reboot, I tried the newer kernel [2.6.31-17-generic] at the grub menu and got this error:

udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.

And, cat /proc/modules gives me a long list of modules (too much to retype for now).So my hard drive is there. maybe some errors on the / home partition [sda6] and I can get to the root directory.
FYI: MS-win XP still boots fine from grub.
I just installed the new LTS version but it crashes sometimes an gives the error end_request: i/o error, dev sda, sector XXXX in terminal My PC was working just fine when I was under Karmic. I think it's a bug....

I have an FTP server which is linked to a user account in a chroot jail and I have disabled anonymous access (anonymous_enable=NO). I can FTP into this server from Windows command line FTP client and every other FTP client I have used with no problems.
However, I have been trying to access it via a web browser (firefox) using ftp://<server name>. This connects and prompts me for my login details, which I enter as I should. But then I get a 425 connection error.
In my /var/log/secure log, I see the entry: -
Why is Mozilla Firefox trying to connect as an anonymous user when it has already prompted me for my login details?

I was helping my cousin move to the GNU Linux world and I was faced with the following problem: He has a MSI nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCIe (128MB vRam) Graphics card. I followed a couple of instructions here in getting that card to work, but the drivers that I was able to load up to his 23 bit system refused to load after system boot up (white flashing letters would come up, X server refusing to load). I was only able to load the system with full 3D hardware accelerated support when I loaded the old xxxxx.i586 based kernel from the GRUB list, while the current kernel that was being used was xxxx.i686 based one.
Currently there was two kernels in the list, so I manually edited the GRUB file to change the boot identifier number from 1 (xxxx.i686) to 0 (xxxx.i586) so every time that the computer would be powered on, it would load that kernel up automatically without having to reselect it manually each time.
Yesterday, my cousin picked up his computer, he was fine and happy with his fedora core (version 11, because Version 12 had major problems with this graphics card, its on the "test" list still, and the developers of fedora, or the developers of that other 3rd party software source seems to be in the middle of testing it for FC12 compatibility)
He told me today that after he ran the "updates" for fedora and installed them, when he rebooted the system, he would see that same while characters in the top left section of the screen flashing and it would get stuck there, he told me that he was able to solve the problem by rebooting and selecting the xxxxxx.i586 kernel from the list. He also told me that he saw three kernels from the list.
For what I see here, this driver will only load with the i586 based kernel, and I also am seeing that each time that he updates his system he may have to go thru this again. My question is this: Will fedora 11 change his default kernel each time that he runs Fedora Updates? If so, what can I do to prevent that change from occurring.
Also, is there a limit on the kernels that appears on the GRUB list, if each updates brings a new kernel entry on the GRUB list, will the list get very large one day? or will Fedora remove one or more kernels, in other words, what is the maximum number of Kernels Fedora keeps on the GRUB list? and will there be a point that Fedora updates will delete that working i586 kernel leaving him with a non booting system? Or will that nvidia driver "magically" start working with some future update after the developers fix/improves what ever is keeping that nVidia driver from loading with the latest updates?
I am a long time Unix system admin and this one has got me stumped.When I try to run the system-config-network (or any of the system-config-xxx programs) from the links on the GNOME interface, I get a message pop-up that says, "Unknown error" and no additional information. I have also opened a terminal and run it from the command line (/usr/bin/system-network-config) and I get the same "Unknown error" pop-up. I was not the one who originally configured this server, so I am not sure of the history or how it might have been broken. I can't seem to find any debugging information or even any command line parameters that might give me a clue what the complaint is. There is no error number or any other helpful hint as to the cause of the problem.
I have been manually editing the config files so the server is up and running but it is tedious to manage the server without the GUI.Has anyone seen this before? I assume it is a configuration issue, but I am not sure where to look.uname -aLinux xxxxserver 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 11:30:06 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux/etc/redhat-releaseCentOS release 5.4 (Final)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make an rpm which when installed as an update causes another rpm to be removed. I'm fairly sure this is possible because I have seen LibreOffice rpms install as updates replacing OpenOffice rpms in the process without any interaction being required. However I'm unable to figure out how to do it, even after having looked at the spec file for such a LibreOffice rpm.
I have package gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg installed. I have another package called multimedia installed. I've built a new version of multimedia which includes the gstreamer ffmpeg plugin so I don't need the gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg package installed any more. I've tried using Provides and Obsolete in the spec file of the new multimedia package. E.g.
Code:
Provides: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg
Obsoletes: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg <= 0.10.10
(I've tried it with and without version numbers.) Whatever I put in the spec file, when I try and install the new multimedia package as an update zypper says
Code:
$ zypper up -y multimedia

I'd like a sed command to replace all decimal values greater than 0.5 with nothing in a tab delimited text file.
EX:
There would be one tab before 0.301 and two tabs after it. This way when you paste the text into an excel spreadsheet, there are empty cells where you deleted values.
I thought the sed command would be something like:
But this will delete everything.
What I need is something that will start deleting when it sees 0.[5-9] and stop when it reaches a tab. I know you can use [^character]+ to do this, but it doesn't seem to work with a TAB as the character.
Another idea I had would be to have sed replace from 0.[5-9] to 0. and replace with a tab + 0. But I also cant get [^0.]+ to work as it only works with single characters.
I might just be crazy or particularly dumb today but what I'm trying to do is have sed replace the first and second instance of a character on a line but not after that.
Basically it is a csv file with a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and I need to completely remove the slashes. No problem using:
Code:
sed 's////g' < file > outputfile
The only problem is that one of the columns after this may also contain these slashes and shouldn't be removed.
I must have read every single sed page on the net today to find a way to do it to no avail! Is it as simple as :
Code:
sed 's////1' < file > outputfile
And then run the same on the output file again? these two slashes will always be the first and second slashes in the file.
Ive some textfiles which contains some colums seperated by a various number of spaces, but instead i need one single tab as a seperator.
