Since the computer does not have xorg.conf, can I have the computer generate that file because I need to work on it and so I need to create it. That is why it would be useful to have a xorg.conf file still.
No nameservers found; Try putting DNS servers into your ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so: [...]
After running wvdial. I suppose I have to create a file ifcfg-ppp0, but what does it have to contain in order to automatically grep the DNS servers from wvdial?
In Ubuntu, it works just fine, just that I don't have an Ubuntu installation anymore.
I use wvdial and a 3G modem to connect to the network. On the same host I also run bind9 which is authorative for my local network.The problem is that when wvdial connects, it overwrites /etc/resolv.conf, which means that DNS lookups on that host no longer get made to localhost (as specified by the original resolv.conf file) and end up at the local instance of bind which is authorative for in-house hostnames, but end up with the ISP who doesn't know my in-house host names.The local DNS forwards to the ISP, so the ISP's DNS'es are not required in resolv.conf.How can I prevent wvdial from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf?Removing write privileges from /etc/resolv.conf did not work.
When I use wvdial, most of the times on first attempt I get output like that

[root@localhost apinder]# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Warning: inherited section [Modem0] does not exist in wvdial.conf --> Cannot get information for serial port.
Booted puppy 4.12 off usb many many times have i booted puppy and other distros this has never happened I get to part where you choose xorg or xvesa I chose xvesa, as usual my monitor makes a "click" noise as if its been turned off but it doesn't turn off default puppy xvesa is 800x600 so i changed it to 1024x768 as usual after messing around I reboot into my ubuntu-9.04 install and my desktop is 800x600! I reboot into my SalixOS install and my desktop is 800x600! every system I boot into is this way! even live cd's! the PC is a Emachines with everything Nvidia mx4000 geforce and old 15inch vga monitor how do I output graphics card and monitor info?
Here is the xorg.conf every distro changed too
Code:
If I install the nvidia drivers in ubuntu/debian, only then can I get 1024x768 resolution
I ahve configured MRTG to generate bandwidth utilization graphs of Network devices.
I ahve configured 30 Network device ( Cisco Switches and Routers), For most of the devices MRTG is working fine but for some devices it is not able to generate log file and giving the following error:
I am new to Linux and I am trying to install puppy on an old IBM thinkpad 600X (10gb hd, 196mb ram) When installing puppy from a cd, it loads up and does the kernel stuff before "Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives" - this takes about 10 minutes before saying "pup_421.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisk console" then it goes to "/bin/sh can't access tty; jon control turned off". then it stays like that and doesn't continue.
Well I'm trying to set up a US robotics dial up USB Modem. When I enter WVDIALCONFI end up with a screen that says "scanning your serial ports for a modem"It scans and ends up saying Sorry'no modem was detected!Did you configure it properly with SETSERIAL?
im running a wireless modem under ubuntu (10.10) now, when i first plug in the modem, and run the command wvdial everything is OK. BUT if i plug out the modem and try to plug in again and run the 'wvdial' command i can the error:
Code: "wvdial: cannot open ttyUSB0: no such file or directory.
2) Then I run wvdial command but getting following o/p
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
So I use the following to rip audio from one .mp4 file and then generate one .mp3 file.
Code: caleb@linux-vmp1:~> ffmpeg -i a -ab 128000 -ar 44100 01.mp3
Obviously, this takes a file named a and makes a file named 01 that is an mp3. It works great and I have used it many times. The problem is, I would like to rip the audio from several files all at once. I am sure there is a way to do it but I haven't stumbled upon the way to do it.
I'd like to use a keymap not present in slackware "fr-dvorak-bepo" with mkinitrd because my root partition is encrypted by luks. So how can I generate a .bmap file from a classic .map file for mkinitrd ?
I have just installed sendmailanalyzer to my centos 6 by using rpm package. But before, i tried to install it by perl.There is no problem now everything works but when i want to configure i see that there are lots of conf file. How can i see a conf file of service "sendmailanalyzer" what is the command ?
I've tried many, many different ways of setting up the cluster.conf file, but every time I start the cman service I get a message telling me "corosync died: could not read cluster configuration".This means nothing to me, nor can I find logs, or anything on the net about this message. I'm ultimately just trying to run a simple GFS2 config on 2 Ubuntu 9.10 desktop nodes, but I can't even get a basic cluster config going.What am I missing? I've been at this for days.
I need advice in getting the original blacklist.conf of the directory /etc/modprobe.d/ because I erased and I don't know if that file could make me have some issues in the future, so if any body can lend me a copy of that file or refere me to some page where i can get it. Is for the slackware 13 32bits distro.
I've just done a fresh install of Lubuntu 10.10 on an older Sony Vaio laptop. Having learned the hard way about editing xorg files, I wanted to create a backup of the xorg.conf file so that I dont have to do another install when I screw everything up. In a terminal, I typed
accidentally I do something wrong with my server and the httpd folder missing and I need it to setup my mail server and anyone can help me what can I do without reinstalling my Cent OS? Here is the error msg :
[root@mydomain etc]# service httpd stop Stopping httpd: [FAILED] [root@mydomain etc]# service httpd restart
But the idea is that I can add a line to a section and it check if the section is defined, (add the definition if not), the property is defined, let it undefine (erase the line), (and delete the section header if there is no property defined), etc...
I didn't find anything except gconftool-2 but it do not explain how to modify other files. (there is a shema file there).
there isn't a program/script to achieve this, but can easyly be made for every config file, If someone do something like that, with a little database of which markup use each file, it could become really popular.
I am installing some SSL certificates on my web server, however I have a couple questions, as I'm not familiar with this process
1) I'm not sure which directory to put them in? What is good practice? Is /var/www/secure a good location so long as I restrict access to the secure directory?
2) I am told to edit the following in my ssl.conf file of apache2
However, I cannot find this file, ssl.conf. Nor can I find the above directives in my main apache2.conf file. Where is the ssl.conf file? Or alternatively, could I just add the above directives to my apache2.conf file?
I downloaded the puppy linux iso. I don't want to write that iso to any disk (because most of the linux disks are used just once and then the just acquire space in my cd bag). I tried to create its bootable pen drive by start-up disk creator. But start-up disk creator is not accepting the iso file for puppy. Can anyone please tell me how to make a bootable pen-drive of puppy linux
