I have a mount command that I want executed every single time the computer reboots so that the folder is always mounted when I need it. What file would I have to edit in order to accomplish this?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to install ndiswrapper, and have gotten as far as extracting the .gz file. However, when I type in the "make" command, it returns the error message:
Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5, is it configured? Stop.
I do not have anything in the folder /usr/src, so I don't know where it might be. I'd like to install this, so it will make my switch to Linux easier.
I have installed Arch Linux quite a few weeks ago; but I'm still trying my best to install the nividia display driver for my graphics card (nVidia Geforce 2 MX 400). Not only in Arch but have tried installing on other distros and still failed. I have read up all the documentations and I still find it hard to do this task. When I used the terminal and executed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-94.43.01-pkg1.run file without any window manager running, I get this problem:
ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/build'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at nvidia.com.
Now I'm using Arch Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and I have got the source. But where am I suppose to put it now? I do not want to change the kernel. I just want the nVidia installer to identify that there is a kernel source so that it can install. I have searched up a lot on websites and ended up with no proper guide.
This is a very old driver. So since now I have the nVidia driver installation package and also the kernel source,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Fedora 14 on an old Dell server (Pentium 4). It works fine, except that it somehow includes an extra startup step, in which I have to choose between two different grub versions. Here is the screen I get:
GNU GRUB version 0.97
Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)
Fedora (2.6.35.6-45.fc14. i686)
Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting, 'a' to modify the kernal arguments before booting, or 'c' for a command-line. I always select "Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)" because I presume it is the latest version. Is there anything I can do to automate the choice of "Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)" and avoid this extra step? On another subject, I have already modified the custom.conf file to eliminate the login screen step.
Iam currently having a security issue due to a uninvited intrusion happen few days back.

The file was located under /dev/ and named "httpd". Im totally blank now. Dont know where to start troubleshooting.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have Fedora 11, x86_64, fresh install four days ago on newly formatted disk. Gnome desktop.
I have been installing and configuring things, rebooting after every few application installations. I have been rebooting so often because this is the fifth distro that I have tried. In the previous four I ended up lacking a window manager, and in two cases I lost the gnome-panel as well. At first I was blaming the latest version of Gnome, which is why I installed Fedora 11 instead of 12. But yesterday I got bitten by the same bug again. In the present instance only metacity is missing. I can function just fine if I just start metacity from a command line after logging in (which is how I am running at the moment.
Something is making metacity not load after I log in.
In an effort to fix this I created a new user. The new user has the standard Gnome desktop, complete with metacity. So the question is, what does the new user have or not have that is different from my real user?
I was pretty sure the problem was in Gnome, not X, so I started polluting the new user's installation by copying config files from my real installation. I started with .gconf, then .gconfd, then .gnome2. I logged out and back in again after each folder was copied, hoping to track down the offending one.
I finally found it - the ~/.local folder. As soon as I copied my ~/.local folder to the new user the new user lost metacity after logging in.
Of course, before copying one of my folders to the new user I renamed the new user's folder by appending -original to it. I ran diff on the two folders, and there are lots of differences. Mostly the new user doesn't have many application launchers in ~/.local/share/applications/, but I don't think those would make a difference.
I was hoping to find a configuration file where "metacity" is located in the -original file and missing in the new one. So far I have not been successful. Yet for sure *something* in that folder is the culprit. Does anyone have any knowledge of what Gnome does with this folder?
How do I replace a 32bit version of 11.1 with a 64bit version of 11.2 or is it even possible?

I have a separate ext4 partition which contains all my data (music, movies, etc). When I delete files from this partition it is very slow because it copies files from my data partition to the Trash folder in my home partition. How can I avoid this? Can't the trash be configured so that it uses a trash folder in each partition instead of copying files to another partition (which is slow).
I am trying to get rid of the gnome panel shadow in ubuntu 11.04(classic, not using unity). I know that I can get rid of it using compiz but I do not want to use that.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to delete some files stored in the personal directory, say .adobe, .macromedia, .xsession-errors, on every start-up or shutting down. I can do it with cron but I would like to learn different (simpler) options. The thing is, I haven't been able to input the proper terms in a search engine. Note that these files must exist in their default location during the session. This is, I don't want to make them links to /dev/null or move them to /tmp.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using a headless server with virtualbox installed on it. A second box is a LAMP server from which I have phpvirtualbox installed to give me a remote connection to the headless server. In order to get a connection made between the 2 boxes I need to start a program called vboxwebsrv, this being on the headless box. I therefore need to ssh into the server and startup the program. What I'd like to do is have this program launch on startup, and the folks at phpvirtualbox has a sample script available that will do that. Unfortunately the script uses a su command, not sudo. Since I am using Ubuntu, the su command doesn't work, but using sudo requires a password response. How do I deal with this?
Here's a snippet from the script:
# Function that starts the daemon/service
#
do_start()
{
if [ "$VBPID" != "" ] && [ "$VBPID" -gt 0 ]; then
[code]...
What I currently do is: sudo /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null.(The script file sets up the path earlier on).What I don't want to do is have any interaction during startup, and frankly, I can't see how to avoid the password thing.
