Also when I try to instal programes from Ubuntu Software Center it doenst do the download, and said to check the internet connection , althought that is fine (I am posting this).
I'm not to clear on the difference between LTS versions and other versions, but think I may want to go with LTS. Can someone tell me if my thinking is correct given the following situation: I have some very cool, but very expensive software installed with a group license from my school, a school which I am not going to be attending for too much longer. So I want to go as long as possible without reinstalling Ubuntu, because once the product is licensed it will be licensed until I reinstall Ubuntu (or I uninstall the program). So I think this is going to require me keep the Ubuntu version I install as long as possible.
So in this case, should I go with 10.04LTS or should I just install Natty Narwhal and keep that as long as possible? It looks like 10.04LTS will be "supported" longer, but I'm not exactly clear on all that "supported" entails. Presumable it means security and software updates will be available for 10.04LTS for much longer than 11.x versions? So I'm thinking I should go with 10.04LTS
Is my thinking correct in going with 10.04LTS? Edit: It was pointed out that this would be against my contractual agreements. Which I suppose is probably true.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install gcc so I can compile C++ on a Virtual linux machine I have on my pc. I went to the GNU website and downloaded gcc-g++-4.5.0.tar.gz, unzipped and un-tarred it. This left me with a folder named gcc-4.5.0 which itself contained two folders. One named gcc and another named libstdc++-v3. From trying to follow a (not very clear) guide online I created another folder in the libstdc++-v3 folder named objdir into which I copied the configre executable. I then tried to run it here and was told that I was missing an install.sh file.
found one of these from somewhere else on my machine and copied it into the libstdc++-v3 folder. Now when I try to run the configure executable from the objdir folder I get a message saying "configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub.Basically all I want to do is get gcc up and running so I can compile some codeWhat I have been doing so far is probably way off the mark but its as far as I could get from following stuff online.
I had a spare computer (Dell Optiplex GX270) which I had installed Centos 5 on and have been setting up asterisk (telephony) on it. My main computer has broken down and I need to load Windows XP back on to the Optiplex.
I put the Windows XP disk in the drive and directed the bios to boot from the cd. I get the message "Please wait while windows inspects your current hardware configuration" and then after about 10 seconds the screen goes blank (the cd also slows down and then stops) and then the systems seems to just hang.
If I take the cd out and boot from the hard drive Centos loads normally; therefore I'm assuming my problem is not a defective hard drive.
I've spent quite a bit of time searching online for a solution and although there seems to be several different situations where the above can occur, I'guessing that my ssues are related to either partions/mbr and or the bios/cmos. I'm really new to Linux and not knowledgable on partitions and cmos so I'm hoping someone could help me out here.
I've checked in the bios and could not find an option to restore the settings to factory defaults. Should I pull the csmos datterry out? Does this restore the bios settings to factory defaults?

I also told it the 6 drives were raid 5 but did not tell it anything else besides not to format them. When I booted for the first time I found that it was rebuilding the raid 5 and the file system type is unknown.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about upgrading, again, from Wheezy to Jessie. When I had Jessie installed, prior to a crash, I noticed that some of the Gnome games in Jessie are not as esthetically pleasing as they were in Wheezy. Also, some of the games (eg. mines) were slower and seemed to use a lot more CPU resources. So my questions are:
1. If I pin those programs that I want to keep will that also pin the dependencies for those programs?
2. If those dependencies are pinned, how might that impact other programs, in Jessie, that might depend on later packages?
3.If I don't pin those programs that I want to keep is it possible to install those programs from Wheezy after I upgrade to Jessie, without causing issues with Jessie?
I have a Canon MX320 printer/scanner/copier/fax to install on Sabayon 5.1. I have a choice of downloading a .deb file, a .rpm file, or a tar.gz source file from Canon Inc. Where do I have to put the file prior to install, will the files automatically end up in the correct place? (I haven't done this on Sabayon before, bet you couldn't tell!)

TightVNC is working well ecept that it opens a new session and I'd rather share the same session on Display 0. how best to connect to my Ubuntu home theater PC prior to logon and share the same session.
It was always why did You switch from there or that. I wonder are there (or better yet here actually) Linux users, that where never 'tainted' with the proprietary infamous operating system? I mean those who never *switched*, but had either both or saw Linux first (before MS Windows).
How do they perceive Linux? We , the ones coming from <put whatever You come from here> , are inevitably biased, carry a background noise and a "whistle" fading in our ears. I know computers from the days they came without operating system (just mere interpreters upon a BIOS stack) and really do appreciate the ways of *NIX. But I see my kids growing and exploring all kinds of "solutions" and OS-es and they have mixed feelings:
1. They are not bothered if software "looks" alike if it is functional
2. They like certain features on either sides and miss where they lack
3. They, above all, appreciate functionality
4. They miss gaming support on Linux a lot (big names hesitating)
I'm about to wipe my linux installation and start fresh (switching to Arch). Before doing so I'm trying to think ahead of everything I'm going to want to backup before doing so. Here's what I've got so far:

I had FF and TB running on a desktop computer which was on Suse 11.0. That computer has gone to the Great Interrupt in the Sky. The hard drive still works, and I can hook it up to the replacement (laptop) with an eSATA cable. Thus, all of my email, settings, bookmarks, etc are sitting there waiting to go back to work.
My new laptop is on Suse 11.2, with the FF version which came on the DVD (from Linux Pro Magazine in February). I would like to A), load the latest vers of FF and TB onto this laptop, and B), move my older FF and TB stuff to run here. I am little more than the ignorant appliance operator so derided by Linux gurus in the "Why New Users Give Up" thread. I want to learn more, but my primary need is PRODUCTIVITY, so what I need is an 1D10T-level stepthrough to get done what I need to do.
I have a file like so:
Code:
one
two
three
four
I would like to insert prior to the word "three" all items from this second file with the following contents:
Code:
four
three
two
one
Now my issue is, and I have been using both sed and awk currently, that after the second line of the new file is read there will of course now be 2 copies of the word "three" but I would like to only insert the final 2 words, ie "two" and "one" prior to only the first occurrence of the word "three" so final file will look like:
Code:
one
two
four
[code]....
So here there is now only one of each word from the second file joined to make the new file. For simple code I have tried something like the following:
Code:
while read line
do
awk -v n=$line '!f && /three/{print n;f++}1' file1 > tmp_file
mv tmp_file file1
done < file2
Now this works but seems very clumsy to me. There is obviously a better sed and / or awk out there.
Got this while installing the kernel development tools on my Squeeze system being used as a router/firewall. Setting up update-inetd (4.36) ... Setting up cvs (1:1.12.13-12) ...

Yesterday i finally got around to installing my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8400M CS) on fedora 12 by using the command yum install kmod-nvidia the terminal then told me that it installed correctly so i rebooted my system. Now when i boot up into fedora, it loads and when the sign in window is about to appear instead my screen shows random colors all over the place. I am hoping someone can tell me how to remove this via the command line prior to actually starting fedora.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my main work machine I have openSUSE 11.4 standard KDE on two partitions, standard root and standard /home. I'm going to add the Tumbleweed repos and follow the evolution of openSUSE until 11.5/12.0 is released.
But I cannot afford to have my main work machine off the air. So I want to back up the root parttiion each time I go a major upgrade from the Tumbleweed repos.
So I thought I would just image the root partition in compressed/reduced form to a USB drive prior to updating.
First I looked at Partimage but it doesn't do the EXT4 filesystem.
Second I thought about Clonezilla but it doesn't allow compression (it states that the target for the image must be at least as big as the source partition); thus DD is just as limited.
Third I looked at the System backup and restore facility in Yast but it seems to be undocumented (i.e. I can't find it.)
Then I thought why not just use cp because the root filesystem of 11.4 for me is only occupying 6Gb ATM. I propose to use "cp -a -u -v" from a live CD to copy the root files to a USB drive with an EXT4 partition.
So two questions:is there a flaw in backing up the system/root with "cp -a -u -v"
is there a better imaging software for a small job like this
In my CentOS configuration, when I use vim6.3 to edit a file, then close it, and re-open it, my cursor starts out at the line where I last left off. In my cygwin (on Windows) configuration, when I use vim7.3, I don't get this behavior. The viminfo does exist and does seem to get read (because if I type '0 it will go to my last cursor location - but that is globally and could change the file being edited). I've also looked at the .viminfo file and see it getting updated as expected. In my .vimrc file, I have this:
Quote: set viminfo='100,<50,f1,"500,/100,:100
Note that on the CentOS side if I open foo, then I open bar, then I open foo again, my cursor is in the right place for foo, whereas on cygwin if I do this, my cursor would be at the 1st line of foo.. If I were to type '0, it would actually switch to editing bar and put the cursor where I last left off. Anyhow, this all boils down to asking how I get my cygwin vim to act like my CentOS vim.

I am not sure if this is possible. I have IP's stored in a mysql database. When I query the database, it returns the IP. I would like to replace the IP with something else prior to displaying the results. Is it possible even though I have not stored it in the database?
I have the following in a while loop (mysql_fetch_array).
Code:
<td align="left">' . $row[IP] . '</td>
Instead of displaying $row[IP] from the database, I would like it to display something else which I define in the PHP code but based on the IP.
ie. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd = hostnameABC

View 7 Replies View RelatedA snapshot of my existing partion configuration can be viewed at: [URL] I intend for the space including /dev/sda1,dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 to be used by slack 13.0. The OS at /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 will be "retired" once I get slack up, running and configuration for my work. In the past I have preformatted partitions, that is, from the existing OS, I have formatted partitions for use by the next OS, using gparted. In the case of ubuntu, that has worked well. And frankly, I'm pretty rusty with fdisk....
1)Is there any advantage - or disadvantage - in my doing this for my pending slackware installation? Will slack recognize the "clean" partition and opt to skip formatting?
2)I presume that slack will recognize the existing swap partition. Am I correct?
3)My scheme would be to provide separate partions for /, /home/ and /usr or /usr/local.
4)Any recommendations on filesystems?
