View 6 RepliesMy laptop is running gentoo linux but I wanted to make my own minimalistic linux distro. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I need to repartition my hard drive for this. I have the tools to do this (on a cd) but the problem I am encountering is the bios is locked. The bios is locked and it boots from the hard drive first and then the cd-rom drive. I don't have the bios password and the last place I took the laptop to for repair locked the bios, didn't fix the problem, and charged me $60 so they could "look" at it. I fixed the original problem by myself but the bios is still locked and they claim they have no idea how it got locked. Is there any way to make grub "go back" so to speak so that the computer will boot from a cd? I can remove the hard drive and it will boot from the CD but that kinda defeats the purpose.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI searched the faq, I did a search online for this etc. The reason I ask is that suse on the download page of 11.3 states don't download directly since it is very slow and has no check sum. Therefore the iso may be flawed and you have spent 10 hrs trying to download the iso. My "fast" internet through qwest is at 1.5 mbps download so I assume that is why it is so slow to download the iso of 4.7 Gb.Now for the question the download page suggets you use bit torrent since it does the checksum but will download the iso no faster than the direct method. Second is to use check metalink with the addon in Firefox downthemall. I did this and had quite a time getting the iso link for 11.3 to start downloading. I would start downthemall from the Firefox toolbar and I thought wow!!! it downloaded that iso fast, how cool. Well it was not the iso but the website for the download page! At one point I got it to start downloading the iso but came in this morining and it was still going after 17hrs and showed several hours to go. I gave up and deleated it.
This afternoon I just gave in and started the download again using the bit torrent and I am waiting for the download to finish. I did eveything the site indicated but after and hour I noticed under logger it said **** openSuse-11.3-DVD i586 iso: PIECE 2206 FAILED HASH CHECK. It shows this same message from the begining of the download 7hrs ago to the last few minutes on each section. It states it is 75% complete? Is this normal or am I wasting 10 more hours? Sorry if this is not the place for this question but I never had trouble with downloading 11.2 and burning it to the disk. I think I just used the Directlink method and crossed my fingers. It did download ok!
Few Days back I have installed a MTS Data Boardband Card in my Suse Linux Server 11.0 Since Then When ever I try loggin using the ROOT A/c The screen with Blue Background and the movable mouse is appearing and the desktop is not showned to me due to which i am not able to get the GUI Mode (My Desktop).
Also once I created a New user in my SUSE LINUX SERVER using that A/c I am getting the GUI Desktop but in root i am not able to get it.
It looks like there is some service which is not getting started and my Root desktop get freezed.
Now after my experiments with Open Indiana on another partition, I have rewrite my Suse Grub, that was as in / suse partition as in MBR. Suse partition is intact as well as files in /boot/grub, but in MBR is boot loader of Open Indiana as primary. How can I get back Suse boot loader. On Installation media under Rescue system I didn't find any option for re-installation of boot loader.
P. S. Now I can run Suse completely in Gui without any problem, because, I made some changes, in Open Indiana boot loader, but I would like return a Suse Grub.
My application requires that I run dos commands on a Windows desktop which is in the same network as the Suse server. The command needs to be initiated from my Suse serverand I need to get the result of the command from Windows on my Suse server
View 9 Replies View RelatedMain reason I am using openSUSE currently is because my Windows system's went bad. I haven't been able to easily restore and will probably have to do clean windows install. I want to make sure my entire openSuse system (application/OS setting/etc) backup so I can easily restore of it fast. Since this type of back takes awhile, I would preferably like do this while I am still logged into SUSE. I am where to disk cloning thing like clonezilla, but looks like I would need turn of my system entirely to get this done.
Currently my SUSE root and home are in a partition with another NTFS partition on my hard drive. I really don't want to use 'dd' to clone the entire hard disk. I would much rather store of required partitions in other locations. Hopefully, there is easy to get this done without too much of effort and time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI initially installed SuSe11.2 with /tmp mounted on separate partition on another physical disk( there are two physical disks). Now I want to attach disk with existing SuSe11.2 to another motherboard so I would like that /tmp becomes part of the root partition. Will deleting /tmp mount point in /etc/fstab create automatically new /tmp from root at next startup, or something else has to be done to achieve, that in future, /tmp resides on root partition instead? In this way it would be much easier to move the disk with SuSe11.2 to another motherboard.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHave you ever seen a hobbyist electonic Kit? They have projects that try to teach what each type of component does. Is there such a thing for Bash? It would tend to be aimed at tasks that are suitable for bash and not attempt to go over the line of what is better suited as a compiled program. Intuitively I think maybe something that timestamps files; when you download them, or anything else that would keep a home PC better organized is practical.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a helper for the mount utility (mount.truecrypt) and there are some things in the util-linux-ng package that would be helpful. For example, in fstab.c, there is a lock_mtab() function. I want to be able to do something like:
Code:
#include "fstab.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
lock_mtab();
[code]....
But I don't know how to compile it. I was trying (naively) something like:
Code:
$ gcc mount.truecrypt.c fstab.c -o mount.truecrypt
But I guess the problem is fstab needs a whole bunch of other stuff. Should I just build the entire util-linux-ng package and then use the output somehow? If anyone is interested in mount.truecrypt (to be compatible with mount and /etc/fstab) you might be interested in giving me a little bit of guidance. I've got enough code to build the actual truecrypt command thus far. In fact, it's useable, but not robust (ie, doesn't lock the mtab, etc). You can browse the source for util-linux-ng here: [URL] and download a tagged release here:[URL]

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting up an SVN server (svn+ssh) that will be used by students at the university where I work. I was considering in the beginning, one single repository and eventually creating directories for each project inside the repository. It seems to me now, that it is not very secure way of doing things. The directory on the server will be with rights 770 and this means that every student can come on the server and sweep out the whole repository.
Also mistakenly or not, every student can 'svn delete' the whole repository, which could be a nightmare to recover from. An issue might be to create groups and then assign users to groups and then create many repositories and each repository to be assigned with group. This means that I will have to manage tens or hundreds of repositories -- maybe not very common task. What is an optimal solution for this working environment.
1. I have fedora 9 installed, i installed kdevelop using command yum install kdevelop. so i think all the dependencies must have been resolved.

I am developing a system in Python that includes an engine and multiple front ends. I am doing the engine and a curses front end together and will add additional FE's later.

I've been a developer for years, but this is my first Python project, and I'm also fairly new to Eclipse. I guess my question is, How do I set up the references to other projects of my own making?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a slow 3TB usb drive that I keep my video projects on, but when I'm working on a project I want to have the files on my main HD so that the video editing is less painful. So here is my question: is there a way to have a folder on my main computer that syncs files *as they are needed* to my main drive, then when they are edited sync them to the USB drive again?
So if I have a folder with 100 clips on my USB drive, can I sync just the directory listings to the local folder, then when I add a video to my project file and it is read by the video editing software, then just that file is synced to my local folder? Then, when I close the terminal with this app running, or some other signal the local folder is destroyed (all of the files are synced to the USB drive once they are changed).

It is free for use under the open source BSD license. The library is cross-platform. It focuses mainly on real-time image processing.Our idea is to organize an open source project in the Linux community, that be a point in which programmers using OpenCV can meet, to develop programs to recognize the road lanes.OpenCV can be used to recognize the road lanes, and allow a car drive alone (if you have a camera inside the car and a laptop mother board running Linux and controlling the car's steering wheel).
