What does the warning 'section XXX type changed to PROGBITS' mean, and how do I avoid it? I'm compiling some code to run on a sub-processor, and I'm getting this warning during the linking stage.

View 3 Replies View RelatedYou maybe know that VirtualBox has an "immutable" feature for HDD images. I.e. setup the system, if the stuff is in place, you can set the image to IMMUTABLE to prevent any changes to the image. Differences are written to a separated image. So on the next boot you'll see that all the (unintended) changes are gone and the "old" system is up & running again. I run an old SuSE 10.3 on a write-protected SD-IDE-Adapter. Changing and playing with RPMs is a mess due to around 50 changes I had to do to make that work. Is there any option to mount an SD-card as RO and having all the changes written to e.g. /dev/sda3? To make it clear: I thought about something like a RAID-X system, but could not find any description on how to setup a raidtab.

When I first installed Ubuntu to my computer I seen to remember a section in 'Places' that had Video. I have been trying to download video but cannot get anything to work and the 'Video' has disappeared from the 'places' section. Have I pushed a wrong button? what I need to do to download video from a camcorder or a DVD made from the camcorder.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI see from dumping executables that seg selector 0x10 is assigned to my stack segment and to my data segments (.bss .data COMMON). The code is using 0x08. My question - how can I control this? I've looked at all the command line options and don't see it. I have a different program that uses 0x10 for code and 0x18 for data. I note that the second program has i386 in the architecture field in the linker script, whereas the first one referenced has i686. Is this what causes the difference? I understand that this architecture field triggers something regarding a library named BFD - is this where I should look? If so, where do I find it? I am runnig fedora. Is there a way to control the association of sections in the linker script with segment registers? I can set up segments in the gdt and can asign them to segment registers. I can - when writing in assembler - assign code to a section. I can relate a segment in the gdt with a register.But I dont see how to tell the section which segment register it is associated with Finally I see that the gcc compiler decides - based on how I initialize a variable - whether to put it into bss or data or COMMON. Do I have any control over this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to compile and install a new kernel. I have downloaded the 2.6.37 version from kernel.org and I have extracted it in usr/src/linux-2.6.37/ folder.I have tried to compile it and install it according to the instruction given in the following web site and which I found very useful:ttp://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/K...WTO.html#INTRONevertheless, I am encountering some problems during the make install modules process as I get some warnings (i.e. The title of this post).I thought to ignore the warnings and continue by copying the modules in /lib/modules/linux-2.6.37 but this is not possible since at that directory there is no folder created with the new kernel I am trying to install and thus I get a msg saying: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.37/modules.dep.
The warning message: WARNING: modpost: found X section mismatch(es) suggests to run a make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y.At the moment I am running a make again and saving the output to a file so that I can see later on what are the mismatches that I get. In any case we are talking about more than 50 mismatches so I am wondering if these mismatches are not that serious and the problem I cannot install and copy the modules is something else
I have a huge log file of around 3.5 GB and would like to sample random sections in the middle of say 10 MB for the purpose of debugging what my application is doing.
I could use head or tail commands to get the beginning or end of the file, how can I grab an arbitrary portion from the middle of the file? I guess I could do something like head -n 1.75GB | tail -n 10MB but that seems clumsy and I'd need to determine line numbers for the midpoint of the file to get 1.75GB and 10MB line counts.
where I can to find mapping between man section number and it's description in standalone mashine.In other words, where I can to find description of some man section when I have not connection to Internet? For example:

and so on..
When I open a pdf file (e.g., beamer file) using xpdf, there's an annoying window on the left displaying section headings. Presumably it's possible to close it, ideally toggle it closed and open with a key binding, but I can't find out how to do this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe video projector I have to use this week projects an image too large for its screen and spills over on every side.
Fixing the physical setup is not possible or at least unlikely for the moment: the only solution is to carefully resize and position windows so that they display in the visible part of the screen - using full-screen mode is out.
Is there a way around this via software, using xrandr for example?
# xrandr doesn't have a padding option...xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768 --left-of LVDS1 --padding 200
In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive
I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.

Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

sed, locates the word with the different encoding. The output should be something like one two three four but it returns the same. one two four. It's like the data in & from sed can't be changed. I also tried passing & to an external script but it did work.
I recently attempted to change my ip with terminal using "ifconfig etho <input address>" but failed to annotate the previous address. I restarted the network after appending the network document at "/etc/network/interfaces" and restarted the network "/etc/init.d/network restart". Checking through I found the the IP address was what I changed it too yet the problem was attempting to revert it back.Going through a cycle of editing the network document and restart the network has ended in failure and I am curious if there is a way to reset the configuration for eth0 without reinstallation.

I have a directory (let's say A) with a few hundred files and subdirectories and a copy of this directory (let's say B). All the files and subdirectories in B have a newer date than A. However only a few of them are really changed files. Is there a way to find those files and directories? Basically they have different sizes so this could be used to compare them with the files from A.
View 3 Replies View Relatedif there an application which does the following:
1. I have a laptop with an internal 200GB HD.
2. I run the application & it creates a list of all files (size & time-stamp) without actually storing them. Let's call this the "snapshot list".
3. I update some of the files on the laptop.
4. Now I run the application & it only copies the files which have changed on the laptop, that have different size/time-stamp from the snapshot list, onto some external media, such as a memory card. Of course, the files should be copied onto their proper location in the directory tree & not just pile up in one place.
Why is this useful? although the laptop has a 200GB HD I typically only update a small number of files, whose total size is maybe 10MB or so. If I could only backup those which have changed, I could do this with a tiny SD card instead of lugging around an external usb HD.

But I would like to if there is any clever ways of monitoring this. This is how I do it which is a bit crude, and I have to know which directory to monitor. Before running the command, I run
Code:
for i in $(ls -A) do; md5sum $i >> /tmp/before; done
And after running the command, I run
Code:
for i in $(ls -A) do; md5sum $i >> /tmp/after; done
Then I do a diff to see if any file has been changed
Code:

But when I configured the WPA type, the connection seems established but shows the status "TKIP - Key Absent" in the security dialog box. Anyone faced this problem? Am attaching the conf files and the connection status. In the AP side am complaining . I am using the in built radius server conf with the hostapd 0.4.7
