View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to script the spawning of GNU/screen windows by using commands of the form screen <CMD>.
For some reason when I start GNU/screen (by hand), the shell that it starts in window 0 (/bin/bash) does not contain a $STY environment variable. Without this commands like screen vim start a nested screen session, not another window as I want.
My environment is somewhat unusual. Here's how I end up in it:
ssh robm@somehost
sudo su sharedaccount
script /dev/null
screen
The script /dev/null step exists because the TTY device allocated for the robm user cannot be accessed by the sharedaccount user. The script command allocates a new TTY that is owned by the user that invoked it, solving that problem.
If I skip the sudo and script steps, GNU/screen sets $STY just fine. In other words this works just fine:
ssh robm@somehost
screen
Presumably something about sudo and script interferes with screen
I work in a small research lab in my college and we work on Windows. I am planning to switch all the computers into Linux create a network.
This is a small job in the first step. I need to hook up 3 computers together such that they all communicate with a central computer (server). The users will have to log on to their accounts and run their work from the central server, be able to run applications (vlsi, CAD) stuff from the server. I (as root) should be able to take backups (using crontab I guess) and be able to create new users, administer.
Can anyone direct me to a manual or a website or a previous post that goes through these steps. I searched the forums and was lost in my effort

setting up secure ftp on linux
View 3 Replies View RelatedBasically the computer will have to do nothing other than run some custom software that interfaces with the vehicle's systems via a USB FDTI board and render to an 8" touch screen via OpenGL. User input will be via the said touchscreen, and audio output will eventually come into the equation. The target vehicle(s) will be extensively modified for the project, and I'm hoping the software will eventually override features such as the immobiliser, so an extremely fast boot time will be essential.
I have one of those Via C7 fully integrated mini ITX motherboards, much of the onboard hardware will be useless besides two USB ports and a SATA port, so could be completely removed from the kernel if necessary to achieve a fast boot. If some BIOS hacking is required I'd happily look at that too. I'm a recently graduated software engineer, and can comfortably use Linux (I'm using openSUSE for developing the software) but don't have a clue where to start with the OS; if I should be downloading and modifying an existing distro or trying to build one from scratch somehow?

I have CentOS installed on my laptop. I hooked up my TV via VGA and it works, just not as I'd like it to. The left side (on the tv) is cut off, like the image is justified too far left. I want it to be centered, but I also want to use a different resolution. You see, I use a netbook, and thus my laptop screen is tiny, meaning some things cant fit in the same window without scrolling. I want my TV to fix that for me.

I'm thinking of setting up my own sms gateway using my own linux server and regular old nokia phone, along the lines of what is described here [URL]
I was wondering if anyone out there has been down this road before, and in particular knows about approximately how many messages could be sent/received per minute? In the application I have in mind (an instantaneous online survey from an audience of hundreds) I would need to be receiving hundreds of sms texts in around a minute. I was wondering if that was pushing it in terms of the capabilities of an old phone.
setuid bit allows the process to execute the file with the uid of the file. But, what is the purpose of setting setuid without execute bit? The man page tells that if a file is setuid without execute flag, the permission will be displayed as 'S' (capital s) in ls command. Why should anyone set the setuid without execute flag? Does setting setuid without execute flag have any special meaning?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am installing Ubuntu server 10.10 onto a machine with a 1 tb Hard drive. I have had a host of other problems installing but that is for another thread. My question here is that it takes so long to format such a big drive, and I have heard and read that LVM starts with a small partition and expands it as more room is needed. So the installer crashed and started over so this time I decided to choose 'Guided - Use entire disk and set up LVM' instead of just 'Guided - Use Entire Disk'. So it is asking me to set the size of the LVM Volume. Am I setting the size of the initial volume? or am I setting the max size the volume can expand to?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed RDGEN which comes with VPFIT package. When I run the program it says:
"Failed to find help file"
But I ran the program from its main directory where all the files including help files exist. I think maybe the problem is because of this that THEY say:
"Some environment variables should be set before starting RDGEN".
But I do not know what does this mean and how to do that.
These are the variables:
-ATOMDIR
-RD PRSETUP
-RD PRSETUP
-RDSTART
-VPFSETUP
-VPFPLOTS
Would it be possible for you to tell me what does Setting Variable means in this case?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just built a home computer with 3TB hard drives I wanted to set up in a RAID 5 and load Ubuntu server onto it. The first thing I did was set up the drives in a RAID 5 using just the motherboard chipset software to do it, so a 'hardware' RAID basically. I installed Windows first to see if all the hardware works ok (that seemed the easiest way to verify it) and with the exception of the ethernet card (which needed a driver disk to work) everything was plug n' play and worked wonderfully. After that I booted the Windows install disk again to delete the partitions, hoping Ubuntu 10.10 server would create its own.
The problem I'm having is no matter what I've tried (deleting and recreating the RAID 5 setup, departitioning the drives), whenever I try to install Ubuntu it won't recognize the RAID as a valid disk. Ironically, it did at first, because I installed windows to verify the hardware. The ethernet card wasn't working automatically in the Ubuntu setup, (although it found the unformatted RAID drive), so I installed windows and figured out it was just the drivers that needed to be installed.
So now when I try to install Ubuntu, it finds the ethernet card perfectly and connects to the internet during the installation...but that actually stinks because it's telling me it's still accessing the drivers from the drives that I thought I formatted. Once it gets to the storage part of the installation afterwards, it can't find the RAID drive anymore. I tells me to choose a disk from the list, but the list is blank. So I can't install on it.
If I remove the RAID entirely and just keep the drives as 3 separate IDE drives, it finds every drive perfectly and can install to either one I choose. But I don't want this, I definitely need them RAIDed.
