OpenSUSE Install :: Autoinstall Cannot Be Modified?
May 4, 2011
I have very strange problem - trying to install 11.4 (64bit) on my VMware 7.1 - the installtion works, only I have no chance to change anything, it simply takes over and doesn't let me do any modification. The installtion panels look totaly different compared to the installtion manual.
Is there some known problem? What do I need to do to stop that?
After the install on the hd I had to modify manually the start option otherwise I wouldn't. I found out in the option that I have to give: pci=noacpi and the start will go on. My question is, how to do this automatically, I mean modifying before every boot would be annoying.
Today I installed KDE 4.6.3. (OpenSuse 11.4). With this version a modified oxygen icon set was installed. Some icons, e.g. folders, are looking very ugly. They are looking a little bit like Tango icons. This mixture of original oxygen icons and the "tango-oxgygen" ones looks very inconsistent. You can repair this by installing the KDE 4.6.0 oxygen icon set (oxygen-icon-theme, oxygen-icon-theme-scalable) coming with OpenSuse 11.4. Yast is showing some problems regarding KDE 4.6.3. you can ignore them.
i want to resolve the above error. I'm using systemimager to autoinstall system images on pc's connected in lan. while doing this i got the error No DHCPOFFERS received. Also at the time of booting my pc it shows the message No dhcp and/or proxyDHCP offers recieved. But i've started the dhcpd deamon on my pc. Also the systemimager rsync deamon is running. The two pc's are also connected in lan properly.
Still while autoinstalling the image on client it fails showing the error message... No DHCPOFFERS recieved. what do i do in order to make my autoinstall work properly? How do i come to know whether the dhcp server is running or not? What will be the exact problem in autoinstalling?
I modified SnowLeopard to install on mbr disk format. How can I chainload to the bootloader on the OS X partition using GRUB2. The autodetected entry MAC OS X put in by ubiquity on installing ubuntu doesn't work. In grub legacy I just added an entry with root() and chainload and it worked. How can I achieve this with grub2?The computer is an Intel Mac. I am unable to install Windows 7 on a GUID disk (without using bootcamp).
i downloaded and try installing opensuse 11.2 on my intel-based imac. but during installing, there keeps pop-up error messages either saying "cannot download xxx files" or "the files have been modified and is danger to use" i run the "check" function after burning .iso file. and it failed too.so what should i do now?
I want to know what system call is used in linux C programming is used to know whether a file is modified. I know that make utility compiles the file using the modification dates only. I want know how to find whether the file is modified or not.
Possible Duplicate: Linux equivalent to robocopy? I have two websites - one is basically a development version and the other is a production version of the same site. So I'd like to be able to merge the changes made to the development site based on the modified date of the files. Is this possible with the 'cp' command?
I was trying to disable touchpad click, added a section to /etc/X11/xorg.config, and now the OS never starts up, the laptop just runs... This is my second day with the machine, I've done a ton of setup but haven't yet setup a backup utility... is there any way for me to just go in and change the file back to the way it was?
In /etc/default/rcS I have set FSCKFIX=yes. This solves a recurring 'no init found' problem that prevents my machine from booting. Occasionally however, the setting reverts (by itself somehow) to FSCKFIX=no. Thus my machine cannot boot. Is there a way that I can prevent this file from being changed?
I was just curious to know where you submit a new or modified distro after making one. Not that I did--I'm not a programmer. But is there a particular place you submit a distro to, or do you just find some website to host it?
I'm using slack13 and have changed entry in inittab from
Code: id:3:initdefault: to Code: id:4:initdefault:
to login straight to window system. However after that sound is gone. When I go to mixer it says that audio device cannot be used 'might be access problem'. So I've changed entry to what it was and starting X11 by 'startx' and then sound works again.
I have a big pb after installing F11 : my partition containing all my photos is now unmountable. Before installing F11, it was in ext3 filesystem
During installing F11 on sda1 (first hard drive), I noticed some strange error messages like "volume doesn't exist" or something like that.
now, when I try to mount my partition of my third hard drive, i get this :
Code: [root@vincent vincent]# mount /dev/sdc1 /home/vincent/sdc1 mount: type inconnu de systme de fichiers 'lvm2pv' which means "mount: filesystem type unknown 'lvm2pv' "
I want to upload files from my computer to an FTP site and I don't want to upload files that are already on the server. So I need a tool that finds out which local files that are different from the ones on the server, or that don't exists on the server.
Some requirements:
I'm using a cheap provider that does not support rsync or ssh, so I can only use FTP. I generate the files before uploading them, so comparing timestamps is meaningless. I've tried lftp with the mirror command. It's slow (I think it uploads all the files). I upload the files from different computers, so I can't use sitecopy, which uses a local database to keep track of which files are on the server. I'd like to be able to upload all changed files with one command. Preferably no GUI application. And it needs to run in Ubuntu.
I was thinking about creating a tool similar to sitecopy, but which stores checksums of all the files on the FTP server on the server itself. But then I thought that there may already be such a tool.
I use RadHat Linu5.We usually log in to LINUX via putty (remote). Very often many people use the same user and password to log in.I wonder how to tell who has edited/modified a file?
I am searching for a program which may be used in order to display a list of modified (non-distribution-default) configuration files. For example, assume we have installed package "example-utility" which uses /etc/example-utility.conf as one of its configuration files. The package provides a default configuration file upon its installation. Assume we have modified /etc/example-utility.conf according to our needs. This file should be included in the listing produced by the program I am looking for.
If such a tool does not exist, I would like to create it. However, I am new to RPM-based systems, and, as such, I am having difficulties finding the necessary documentation. Should I be reading the yum source code? Is there some sort of document describing the package database on RH/CentOS/etc. systems and how 3rd party applications are supposed to work with this database?
I have CentOS 5.5 running as a desktop, on Live USB with persistent overlay. It's been working great since January. However yesterday I noticed something strange. Almost all the binary files, including those under /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin, have been modified, compared to the originals in squashfs.img (I mounted squashfs.img and did a "diff -r" comparison). The timestamps all remain the same, but the sizes of the binary files have been increased by a typical 1 - 3 KB.
The system has never been updated, other than a few minor package installations via yum. It's running behind a firewall with no services except an SSH server on a non-standard port. Checks on log files etc. didn't find anything suspicious, and chkrootkit turned up nothing.
I have a simple scripting question. I am trying to list all files that have been modified in the last day and then collect metadata on those files. This command is going to be run on a number of nodes via ssh so I would like to append the hostname to start of each line (the below example has blade1 as the hostname). As you can see the loop is splitting the ls command out onto a separate line for each value. What I need to do is keep the `ls -ld` output all on one line and have the hostname echoed in front of each line.
for i in `find /var -mtime -1 | xargs ls -ld`; do echo `hostname` $i; done blade1 drwxr-xr-x. blade1 2 blade1 user blade1 group blade1 4096 blade1 Nov blade1 30 blade1 08:55 blade1 /var/cache/gdm/user
so I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10
How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)
I clone my entire notebook hdd once a month to a USB drive with an identical disk once a month using dd. I would like to find a way to automatically or manually do incremental backups at shorter intervals.
The first problem is that my incremental backup drive is not the same as my full backup drive (which is my clone). Is there some way to backup or copy all files on a document partition modified after a certain date?
The second problem is that my document partition is NTFS-3G. I guess this could be done pretty easily using "dump" if I stored my docs on ext. [I don't because I want to make sure that my docs are accessible from any machine (say in an Internet cafe) should my MacBook die and I need to rip out the hard drive and run to do my homework on another system; that is why I keep my docs on my Vista partition].
How do you find a file modified March 17, 2010, between 3:30 pm and 4:05 pm? I know that I must be missing something somewhere.How do you search for info like this? I goggled "search files time Linux" and got about 38,300,000 results. I looked through the first four pages and did not see what I was looking for.Do I need to calculate how many minutes ago that is and give that to find.I really want to do this in the GUI so that I can operate on the files found without typing in so much stuff.
I'm about to do a migration on a laptop where I have had to make a number of modifications to files mainly in /etc/ but I have lost track of what I have done. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to identify those files that have been modified from their packaged versions?
I am new to Scripting. I am trying to find out particular file is modified in last one hour or not in script and then if that file is modified in last one hour i need to copy that file to another directory.Can any one please provide me how to check the file is modified in one hour or not?
how to find the latest modified directory. I know that the command 'ls -rtl' gives the latest modified file/directory at the end. But my specific requirement is: If I create two directories named dir1, dir2 in the same order. so now my latest modified directory is "dir2". Now inside each directories, I created a file. Now in the last, I modify the file in "dir1". So overall, the content of dir1 got modified recently. If I use the command 'ls -rtl', this will still show dir2 as latest, as it is created recently. But I want the directory in which any internal content at any sub-hierarchy modified recently. so with what linux command I'll get this latest modified directory (dir1)?
