Server :: Compile Software To Patch - Quick Refresh
Nov 16, 2010
Just want to refresh and check to make sure I don't make a mistake, but I am spoiled now with my newer OS's, binary apps, etc. and helping out someone right now who has some old servers and some apps need upgrading like proftp, etc. ALL apps are compiled, I have the old src folder, even the config.h file which if I clean the cobwebs will give me the config settings that were used right? Basically I want to do an in place upgrade from an old to new version and don't want to kill what's there, so I am assuming I can do a make with the config.h from the old compile and it should just build with those options, right?

it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??

Has anyone tried compiling a custom kernel (from git source), with the "sched_autogroup_enabled" patch on the current (fully updated) maverick meerkat?
If so, will the brave soul please share their experience and how they did it.
The reason I am interested in it is due to the fantastic desktop responsiveness gains.

I just want to upgrade my Slackware 13.1 kernel (2.6.33.4) to the latest stable kernel from kernel.org (2.6.38.2). I have never done anything like this and I am a Linux newbie, so I would appreciate a "Kernel Patching for Dummies" version if possible. I did do a search on this forum and most of what I read was over my head. I found an FAQ on kernelnewbies.org on "How To Apply A Patch" but when I attempted what they suggested, it said it couldn't find the file to patch at line 5 and asked me which file to patch. So I CTRL-Z'd out of there and came here. Here's what I tried:

There is server with 3 hdd mounted to /h1 /h3 /h4 and its a file server contain 3 TB of data (must of them are in zip or rar format), We need to move whole files to the new server.I need a command or bash file to show me the name of files in these partition and the patch of them in the txt log file. (So i can create the link and download all of them in new server with download manager).I tried rsync but its too slow...After we created the links of whole files we will deny all ip address exclude new server IP address in nginx then we can transfer them all fast. (The servers are in 1 datacenter.)

I have this project at work. We are a MS Windows shop, and I am "supposed" to be the linux expert, which means, linux support, it's me. I have worked with linux maintaining PCs at home with different versions of linux since 1995, jumping from Slackware to Ubuntu.
Now, I have two CentOS 5.6 boxes, and I need to control the patching process. the boxes are hosting an application which we don't manage. So. one box in production, one box in development. The idea is that the box in development wil use yum in a standard way and download whatever patches are needed, and the application is tested. When the testing is done (this can take minutes, hours, or days) then the production box gets patched.
The problem is that I need to garantee that exactly the same patches are applied in development and in production.
the development box downloads the patches from the internet, but the production box gets it's patches from the development box, not the internet. I have played around with making local repos on the development box and samba, or rsync the /var/yum/cache, and to change the yum.repo.d CentOS-base.repo to force the prod to go to the dev box, without success.

Is it possible to have gnome's display settings recognise higher refresh rates than 56hz, as my nvidia is set to 85hz, but gnome display still thinks its 56hz, and I believe this is causing many programs I'm using to refresh at 56hz. Compiz works beautifully after overriding the refresh rate inside it, as it too thought I was using 56hz instead of 85 but many games aswell as CairoDock as jerky, which makes me think it is a refresh issue.
How can I make gnome know I'm using 85hz?

I'm missing some features only available from MySQL 5.5.6 and therefore neither Debian's archive or dotdeb supports my needs Is it difficult (link / guide) to compile MySQL myself from my Mac or virtual debian and then distribute it to my servers, will it likely cause more problems and will I be able to compile upgrades later or change back to Debian archive (or dotdeb) when they are releasing a sufficient version? I've been administrating my servers for 2 years now and have some knowledge how things is working :-)

I am trying to compile a MaNGOS Zero server. Everything was going smoothly until the installation instructions Code: ../configure --prefix=/home/youruser/mangoszero --ysconfdir=/home/youruser/mangoszero/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/home/youruser/mangoszero. It tells me that ./configure is not a directory or something around those words. I know that mangoszer is not relevant to Ubuntu but I am pretty sure ./configure should be.

On the latest slackware (or any i've tried) I've tried removing the --disable-sldap etc from the slackbuild and rebuilding the package to get the server binary. However it never builds, and browsing the tgz package shows it as empty.

how to install Courier IMAP server and they all say the same thing, but they keep giving me problems.URL... is a link to the page I'm working on.I created the user, edited sudoers manually since I can't effectivly use visudo in the terminal since I don't know how to save. I also made sure that I restarted after I edited it in order to make sure it took effect. I used su compileuser and just logging in as compileuser and opening a terminal. After I made the user and edited that file, I created the directory mentioned and ran the command to create .rpmmacros. After that I got to work on wgetting the files and installing them and what not. The first one compiled and installed and so did the last one. The command "rpmbuild -ta courier-imap4.6.0.tar bz2" would not go though properly. This one I need to run as a non-root user and I've tried using every way possible to be as distant from root as possible, but it still gives me this at the end.

Can I run/compile programs on my remote server and control it using LAN? How do I do it?
Long Version:
I have a spare computer here. It's rather powerful for my daily needs (Athlon X2 6000) and I want to set it as my HTPC/Server. Don't worry about HTPC, it got Digital Audio output and a Radeon HD3200 with HDMI out, outputs 1080p pretty well under Windows (I'll setup it for Ubuntu when I get everything straight). So, I thought "Well, I think it's going to be overkill to let such machine as a HTPC only. I'll use it as a server too!". So far so good, but I don't know anything about servers or such. I would like it, as a server, to compile huge programs and handle big compressions (I'm actually with a Celeron ULV 1.2GHz netbook for such tasks, takes ages). Also, it would be pretty nice if I could control the server with my netbook. Like, Start/Stop music/movies with my netbook, control the Boxee/XBMC (Media Players) with the netbook, and, if possible, control its mouse.
Btw, will Ubuntu 10.10 support Hardware Acceleration for ATI Radeon HD3200? Over Windows' DXVA it works OK.

I'm using a webhosting server running CentOS, and I'm trying to install GCC to compile Java on the server. Since I'm new to Linux and don't have root privileges, I'm having trouble installing this. I need to install this using command-line. I don't know if I should compile from source (which I downloaded off the "gcc.gnu.org" website) or if I need to install a binary or something. Can I even install anything without root privileges?

Slackware64 multi-lib from AlienBOB 13.1 can't compile VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138
1. It does run wine 32 bit version ( a package called "64" bit, but there ain't no 64bit wine, right?)
2. It runs 32 bit programs in that wine.
3. It is vanilla 2.6.33.4 kernel 64bit so far.
Shall I go for VirtualBox or can I get VMWare to work any soon? I already did the VMware-server-2.0.2-203138-update-2.patch and got a bit further, but the build of the vmmon just "goes to pieces"?
Code:
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config3/vmmon-only'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.33.4/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4'

I've never really bothered about installing themes etc., to KDE and I've always just used the standard KDE setup so I am a bit of a newbie when it comes themes. But I was out the other day with a mate and he had got his Macbook and I quite liked the Bottom of the screen quick launch bar they have. Is there a program or widget I can install to KDE 4.4.4. So I can have a Mac style quick launch bar? And hopefully something that wont use to many system resources.

Perhaps there is something on the net about this, however I couldn't find the correct keywords (and there are many other but similar problems) and didn't find anything. You know that when logging in, if you enter a wrong password, you'll have to wait a few seconds before giving it another try to avoid bruteforcing. However, when I enter the correct password in 11.04, it makes me wait a few seconds and then loads my desktop (fluxbox in my case, but the same problem remains in Unity).
