General :: Use Additional Parts That Are Useable From An Old Gateway Essential?
Mar 18, 2011
My computer that I am trying to use Linux on is a Gateway G6-400 with a 10 GB hard drive and the original floppy and DVD drive. I want to use additional parts that are useable from an old Gateway Essential which consists of: the hard drive, some RAM, and another 10 GB hard drive. I want to use a OS that looks like a Mac (I am thinking about either Ubuntu or Xubutu). It doesn't have a 4 pin MB connector. Does this mean I can't change the power supply on the machine, or is the computer able to use the PSU without the 4 pin connector? How much wattage would I need?!!! And what Graphics card should I upgrade to for this computer? I want to do basic tasks and play these three games: Wizard101, FreeRealms, and Fusion Fall. All of the internet I want to connect over a network wirelessly.

since switching from Windows, I have been using Lifeograph, which is a neat little program.
However, my needs are such now, that I am in need of something portable and cross-platform capable, for a whole bunch of reasons.
Basically, I need something that does the job of Lifeograph, or David RM's The Journal, but it needs to be useable from a USB stick in both Windows and Linux.
I know it seems I want the moon on a stick, but i have my reasons. It does not have to be free/open source either. I am happy to pay, so long as it does the job.

I am having a big /home partition. I need to make it small and create one more partition from it which will be used for some other purpose. Can you tell me please how to do it?
I searched on google and found some methods which were very different from each other.I don't know which one is good, so, I thought I will ask you experts before doing anything.

I'm looking for a useable remote desktop solution that works like Microsoft's RDP.The included "remote desktop" vnc server in Ubuntu doesn't work because every time I want to log in remotely, I have to first go sit down in front of the machine running ubuntu, log in, disable desktop effects, then manually adjust the desktop resolution to fit the target guest machine. I can't really do that if I'm on my laptop at the airport.
Some things I have tried:NoMachine NX does not work because once I've launched applications remotely on my laptop there's no way to get them back once I'm at the machine locally. Also, there's a sound feature, but it doesn't work. Remote X11 doesn't work for the same reasons.
1. I need to be able to launch an application remotely, then when I get home, go sit at the machine locally and use that application there without having to re-launch it.
2. I need to be able to hear the sound playing on the remote computer.
3. I need it to work with desktop effects enabled.
Essentially, I want it to "just work" the way Windows' Remote Desktop works.

On my c shell, I use the alias p ls -lt; pwd to speed up things while switching directories and getting their listings.Things could be much easier if I could somehow divide the space I have on my console in two parts such that the prompt is in the lower part and the top part always shows the listing of the current directory (the directory which I am using in the second part).The upper part needs to be dynamic in the sense that whenever I switch directories using the prompt in the lower part, It should give the listing of the current directory in the upper half.

I used split -b 32m "file.bz2" "file.bz2.part-" to split a file and it created more than 50 parts. From googling, the way I found to reassemble the parts is to cat file.bz2.part-aa file.bz2.part-ab > file.bz2, while enumerating all the 50+ parts. Is there an easier way to reassemble the parts wherein I no longer need to list all those parts explicitly?
I'm using Fedora 12.

I need to use wget (or curl or aget etc) to download a file to two different download destinations by downloading it in two halves:
First: 0 to 490000 bytes of file
Second: 490001 to 1000000 bytes of file.
I will be downloading this to separate download destinations and will merge them back to speed up the download. The file is really large and my ISP is really slow, so I need to get help from friends to download this in parts (actually in multiple parts)
The question below is similar but not the same as my need: How to download parts of same file from different sources with curl/wget?
aget
aget seems to download in parts but I have no way of controlling precisely which part (either in percentage or in bytes) that I wish to download.
Extra Info
Just to be clear I do not wish to download from multiple locations, I want to download to multiple locations. I also do not want to download multiple files (it is just a single file). I want to download parts of the same file, and I want to specify the parts that I need to download.

I am facing a problem while splitting a text file, I need to split a file into some parts and each split file should have 2000 lines, when I do it through "split" command the mother file is kept intact but as per my requirement I need to cut mother file into some parts thus it should not be kept intact.
Example:
file size
motherfile.txt 5000 lines.
after split
motherfile.txt 2000 lines.
childfile1.txt 2000 lines.
childfile2.txt 1000 lines.

I have a utility that works with files. The utility is crashing at after about 120 files. The input to the utility is a file containing a filelist. I want to cut the file with the file names in it to seperate files containing about one hundred or so. My thought was to determine the number of lines/100 and then use head and delete to create temporary files to run the utility multiple times to prevent the crash. When I tried to create a variable using the wc -l command the output gives me the number of total lines but it also includes the filename of the input file. (873 Filename.txt) I can not figure out how to remove the Filename.txt from the variable.

Today encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.
Code:
example
ls
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 280M 2010-12-07 20:23 irn2-cd1.mkv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:09 last-50M-cd2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:44 first-50M-cd1
file *
first-50M-cd1: Matroska data
last-50M-cd2: data
irn2-cd1.mkv: Matroska data

Got a vps today running centos 5. The company gave me 2 ip addy's. I pinged both from my current location and it seems the ping to the 'aditional ip' is much lower. I'm in shanghai and the vps is in los angeles. The round-trip ping to the aditional ip is 190ms (not bad for 6500miles away), whereas to the default ip it is over 300ms.
Anyone know how i can configure centos to use only the aditional ip? Also, do you think there's a reason for this big change in ping? The 2 ip's only vary by the very last digit and only bye one.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 - and used it quite successfully as the adminstrator user. But when I add additional users they can't login - to be exact, their password is accepted, and they get a screen with nothing except Ubuntu's pink/purple background.The mouse pointer moves around but clicking the mouse does nothing.

I've got a laptop I use for various things. I have one SATA HD with a number of partitions on it. It looks like this.
sda2 = System Reserved (Flag=boot)
sda3 = Windows 7
sda4 = extended
sda5 = Ubuntu
sda6 = WinXP
I started off with Win7 on there and added Ubuntu. Everything went fine and Grub added Win7 and I could boot to both. Since then I had to add WinXP. That wiped out Grub which I read it would. I tried adding Grub back which was unsuccessful so I just reinstalled Ubuntu which re-installed Grub, but not Win7 doesn't boot from the menu when I select it. Since then I've been trying to add Win7 and WinXP back into Grub with zero success. In addition I add the following which did not work.

I've been asked to test which file systems of the following work better for disk I/O.EXT3 EXT4 JFS BtrFS and any other ones that I can find that work under RHEL the out-of-box install I have done allows me to format my volumes with EXT2/3 but not ext4 or any others. Is it possible to "install" other filesystems for use, if so how?

I have a Brazilian Keyboard that I need to use in my machine for some testing, but none of Brazilian Layouts that came with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx release are 100% compatible (I'm missing question marks and "/").
How do I download additional keyboard layouts? Is it possible? It's a HP KU-0316 model (Brazilian Version).
By the way, it's an english installation with a Brazilian keyboard. Does it have some effect in the problem I'm describing or shouldn't matter?
If it's not possible to download this keyboard layout, can I at least try to use an utility to "map" my failing keys?

I have seen how simple it is for Mac OS to generate pdf from a document without additional software to install. But I am looking for this functionality in Linux. One scenario, for example, if I have myDocument.txt that contain an article, how can I convert this into pdf? My next question is, assuming that myDocument.txt is a 3-paged document, will it generate a 3-page continuous pdf and not just 3 separate pdfs?
Any tools for linux that does this? (GUI is fine, but commandline is preferable)

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 from the LiveCD--smooth install, OS looks great-elegant.Now, since I have to use dial-up, I need to install additional files from the LiveCD that aren't installed by default:
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvdial wvdial_1.60.3_i386.deb
...and
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvstreams [3 sw packages]
How do I get these files from the CD, and make them run on the Ubuntu installation? I've checked in the UI, and see various terms I don't yet understand. Do I extract the packages? Or do I open a pgm in Ubuntu, in which I specify the path to the files on the CD?
I'm going to use an external USRobotics 5637 USB modem that is supposed to work in Linux; just need to configure Ubuntu for this. I have the ISP DNS server numbers and modem is ready. I've seen online info, but I'm stuck at this very basic step.

When my CentOS virtual machine boots it uses DHCP to get an IP address. It also overwrites resolv.conf with the DNS settings provided by the DHCP server. The DHCP server doesn't supply any search domains so I would like to get dhclient to put in a list of search domains when it writes it. How can I configure dhclient to do this?
