View 5 RepliesI am trying to convince the "higher ups" in a small office of about 15 users about migrating from windows to Slackware, one question I have is how long after a release are security updates available? I subscribe to the security mailing list and often see updates that go as far back as Slackware 8.0. What would the safe number be? 5 years, 10 years? Longer? Any input would help me with my cause of eliminating windows all together.

I'm trying to do the normal setup of sharing some dir's on my linux machine using samba, to allow a windows laptop to access them.
I've managed to get the printer shared and this is allowing to send print jobs, which come out beautifully! however the actual file shares still aren't accessible
Depending on my settings, if I have security = user then when I access from the windows machine I get a username and password box - I dont want this functionality, I want the system to access right away as it would between two windows shares.
If i change security = share then it simply lists the shares, but tells me they are all inaccessible.
I've googled and searched here, tried various different things but I just can't see why/where its asking me for the username/password combo.

I use a commercial finite element code to produce animated GIF files of my calculation results. In case you are interested, the code is COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0a, running on Fedora 13 x86_64. Note that the FEA code only has the option of saving movies as animated GIF files in Linux.
These GIF files tend to be quite large, and although they are adequate for my own use on my local computer system, I wish to convert these files into other standard formats of more manageable size. These smaller files would then be easier to distribute to others or to include in presentations and reports.
I would like to ask for recommendations for either GUI-based video player/conversion applications or command line codes that could, for example, convert from animated GIF files to MPEG files. I would prefer an application that allows for multiple input/output format choices as well as conversion options for changing the playback speed, splicing out a portion of the original animation, etc.
On startup, I get two notifications that an application is requesting access to my default keyring. the problem is that I have no idea which applications are doing this. Is there any way to see what's making the request?

View 4 Replies View RelatedToday I noticed my sdl modem flashing away when I had no internet access programs active as far as I was aware. I did a 'ps ax' to see what was running. I saw nothing that warranted internet access. I didn't recognize the gvfsd-computer process and tried finding documentation about it on my system. I began to feel uncomfortable when I couldn't find anything showing what it was. Finally, I killed the process and the internet access immediately stopped. Research on the net showed that gvfsd-computer is a file browser. I find this very disturbing. Why was a file browser accessing my disk drive (the light was flashing) and why was it accessing the internet without my requesting such an action?

I would like to know how can I find array length in C .I have array of structure and I want to sent it to different functions and I want to have it's length (number of elements) each time I want to use it and I don't like to use any additional variable to pass the function for each of arrays that I pass to function.
How can I do that?
I want to calculate length of my array, say Unix here.
Code:
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Red Hat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#Unix[@]}
5
This should be ideally 4, but somehow it is showing as 5. However, when I am removing the space as RedHat instead of Red Hat, it is working perfectly.

[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Redhat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');

Take for example, Google Chrome, in a Windows operating system one tick in the mouse scroll wheel moves the page 10 lines, while in Linux one tick only moves the page 4-5 lines which can be quite annoying when scrolling through large webpages, does anyone know how to change the scroll length?

When generating WEP Keys the available bits are: 64/128/152/256; however, you need 5/13/16/29 character respectfully for each key if you generate the key manually.Can this formula be applied to passwords and the length of the password? For example: if my password had 29 characters, could I say that my password is 256-bits?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a text file with 2 columns. Column A has 69,000 rows. Column B has 49,000 rows. Column A has our complete product list Column B has product list from Manufacturer 1 There are only certain/some rows which are common between 2 columns. and also, column B is not a subset of column A. Column A has extra entries and so does column B. I need to know, which rows from Column B, are common with Column A which rows from Column B are not common with Column A. Essentially I want to know from this list, how many of our products are from my manufacturer 1, how many does my manufacturer has which we dont carry.
How would I acheive this? My natural approach to solving this kind of obstacle is to reach for MS excel and use its lookup function, but its not working... Its taking forever and hanging up. since the file is so huge and probably my excel skills are really bad.
How can I do this from command line? I am looking for awk command if possible instead of sed since I am trying to pick up its syntax and usage etc. My thought process is, sort column A,B, for every row in A, lookup and output based on condition. Dont know if I am on the right track.
