Software :: Way To Put Multiple LiveCDs On One DVD ?
Jul 19, 2011Once I have the liveCDs that I want, when I put the DVD in a computer, how would I choose which liveCD to boot?

View 3 RepliesI have a Windows ME (Mistake Edition) that I wish to convert to Linux. My two choices are Ubuntu and Xubuntu; the system has the proper requirements for both. I made the two LiveCDs so I could test both of them and choose which one I liked more. However, both CDs do nothing. The Ubuntu one appears empty when I look at it on this computer (and is fine on my XP); the Xubuntu one appears normal. Yet both CDs do nothing when I boot the computer.
Is there something I can do to make them work? Or do I have to turn to another way to install Linux?
I originally posted this in I kind of feel like no one is going to answer... is it because I mentioned Fedora? Since I'm trying out Fedora 12...maybe someone here can help me figure out why I have the problem in Ubuntu, but not Fedora?Here's the situation:I've been having very strange problems on Firefox in Ubuntu 9.10 for a few weeks now.haven't been able to, except for a few minutes....once..... and it never came back. This was when these problems had already been happening and after several tries to reach Fedora's site.
Other problems are just as strange but not so bad or consistent: Pages sometimes seem to randomly not be found or they are found on the wrong server or something. After several minutes, though, they usually go away after refreshing the page.One of the strange examples from the "not found" or error pages I got was when I tried reading Wikipedia.org and it told me it "could not be found on this server," but....the server and URL it listed were from Google.com! The address bar showed that it was trying to find the page on Google! No, I didn't copy and paste or type the address, I was in an already-working Wikipedia page that stopped working and thought it was on Google's servers! Isn't that weird? (I might have screenshots somewhere...)
Anyway, any ideas? I have tried creating new, empty profiles on Firefox, but they still cannot access Fedora's sites. LiveCDs work fine, though. Also, I copied and used a profile from my Laptop to here and it also cannot access it.I even tried System > Administration > Network tools and tried Fedora's site in the Ping tab and it usually works just fine (sometimes it gets nothing, though).Also, I'm not using wireless or dial-up.By the way, I've only been using Linux a couple of months now, so sorry if I don't know stuff
I'm trying to connect one computer to two others in an ad-hoc infrastructure.
[computer 1] ---- [computer 2] ---- [computer 3]
computer 2 is running Linux and has a single NIC wlan0. I want to it to connect to both computer 1 and computer 3 so each computer can talk to the other. No switch is available so it needs to be an ad-hoc setup.

I am to rename all the files within a directory (which contains multiple subdirectories) recursively without invalid characters.
I tried the coding posted above.
find . -type f -printf '%p
' | while read file; do
oldfile=$(basename "$file")
newfile=$(echo "$oldfile" | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9_.]/_/g')
if [ ! "$newfile" == "$oldfile" ]; then
echo mv "$file" "${file%$oldfile}$newfile"
code....
but I get an error on both of them stating "find: bad option -printf find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list"
I'm starting to have A LOT of opened windows in my machine. Sometimes within a project, I have e-mail/task management/personal e-mail/twitter, and a lot of different opened applications/terminals in my Linux workstation.Sometimes it would be interesting to have different workspaces to projects instead of this configuration I have nowadays that are classes of work (bad name, I know, but I think you got the idea).I'm starting to think about using two monitors: one with Corporate Management, Work and Personal. The second monitor is only the development state: each workspace here is about a project being worked on instead of groups of works like before. A workspace may be implementing different classes for example.
My question is: I just want to change to a second monitor using the mouse. I want to still be able to change workspaces in the same monitor using keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts wouldn't change monitors, just worskpaces on the same monitor. All the tutorials I read (like this one) only tells how to use multiple monitors but doesn't answer my question about keyboard shortcuts.Does Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx or Debian 5.0.5 Lenny) support this envisioned setup (Different workspaces in a way that keyboard workspace switching only works in the current monitor) ? If so, how?I haven't tested this setup, that's why I'm asking. In this question the user says it works exactly how I want it to behave, can someone else confirm it?
We are working on a project to create a display wall of 8 monitors arranged as 2 high by 4 wide. Each monitor is connected to a single machine and all machines are networked with a master machine with its own, seperate monitor.
Our goal is to get the 8 machines to share a single desktop, with the master machine acting as the server. We have looked at using Xinerama or NMM, but we are unsure about how to get started configuring the multi-machine, multi-head display.
My ubuntu 10.04 has two monitors connected both being treated as individual desktops.But only one desktop is showing the wifi network icon in the notification area.Is it possible to have more than one wifi icon going at one time?

I have an old pentium 3 computer that has ~7 NICs installed. These NICs are attached to modems and other networking equipment. According to the linux ping page on computerhope.com, it seems that one could send a ping from a certain specified NIC. How would one go about this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at setting up a couple automated systems: Here are a few examples:
* Internal accounting system to download and process emails
* Public web server to visit
I could put each system on its own separate box -- for example, it's generally good practice to separate anything that external users have access to (such as a webserver) from internal processes such as accounting. Now, rather than dishing out the money for two separate servers, could I get away with just installing new instances of VMWare on the same box for each system?
To give you an idea, these are not large scale computationally sensitive systems. The accounting one is simply downloading and tallying emails, and the latter is just a webserver with maybe 5 hits per day on a good day. I could definitely pick up a new box for say $50, but I wanted to know the general practice of using VMWare on the same box versus two separate boxes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS 5.3 box with three network interfaces in it. Each interface is attached to a separate VLAN and I want traffic to stay on each network segment.What I can�t figure out is why I cannot get each interface to have its own gateway and everything gets sent through the default gateway.The basically takes my possible 3Gb total bandwidth and throws it down a single 1Gb pipe.Then on top of that, if I take down the interface (ifdown) that has the current default gateway,I loose contact to the other two interfaces.When I look at the routes, each one of the interfaces shows the gw as 0.0.0.0 and defers to the default route. So I delete the route and try to add a new route with:
[root@testsan ~]# ip route add 10.1.15.0/24 via 10.1.15.1 dev eth2
but end up with the error:
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
[root@testsan sysconfig]# cat network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no[code].....
So essentially, I have 3 monitors and i'm attempting to run 2 different window managers/sessions at once split up on the monitors. It is intended to be like this:

I can start a second x sessions with "startx -- :2" switch to it, connect to it over vino vnc. but when I switch back to the first x session the second one "freezes" I cant control it with vnc. So question is how can I use two at once? I've googled everything I can think of with no luck. Can one x server handle 2 client sessions? Wondering so I can try run one user with auto login and lock them into xbmc but have another that I can login to over vnc and muck about with.

I was looking for a solution to watch HDTV quality videos on multiple tv's. I have a cable run and cat5 run to each room and wanted a way to watch hidef movies in each room preferably synced. After much searching I'm coming to the conclusion that this will be hard and expensive no matter which route I want to go. I'm thinking my best route is to build a media converter and pipe that to each room.
I found a couple of HDMI input cards [URL] and [URL] that work in linux. Great with one of those I can get it to a computer signal and even get it on standard coax using a VGA2RCA converter and 1/8 inch to rca for audio hooked up to an old vcr set to channel 3 or 4. And for TV's that support hidef I can hook up computers at each to receive the video over gig ethernet.
So the question becomes what is a good app for sending and what is a good app for receiving. Is gig ethernet fast enough for 1080i? what about 1080p? Comcast has multiple hdtv channels over their coax; so how is it so hard to even encode one channel to an hdtv signal to watch on tv. Is there a way to encode the video to hdtv over the coax like comcast? So I can use the tv itself to watch the hdtv broadcast from my computer over the coax?
So I have a few old dell computers. I want to use them to set up a ubuntu linux server in my basement. Is there a way for me to set up the server over all the pcs so that I can use the processing power of them all together for the server. What would be the best way for me to set a server up with these machines.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell first I'll give you some background info. I have Ubuntu 10.10 x64 8 gigs of ram AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ ATI graphics card I just installed Ubuntu on my second HDD yesterday and am using my BIOS to switch between the OSes (basically just staying in Ubuntu in other words. I have had no issues installing Ubuntu what-so-ever.
Heres where my issues come in. Firstly every time I restart my computer it doesn't allow my bluetooth devices (mouse + keyboard. Both made by mircosoft. Dongle is a microsoft product as well) to connect right away. I have to go into the BT settings and click "Make my computer visible" (or something to that effect). After I do this (all on my wired keyboard and mouse) and i hit a button on my keyboard and mouse they are then able to operate my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Another issue that I am having is that my computer WILL NO LONGER recognize the names nor the demintions of either of my monitors (a visio 42 inch connected via HDMI and a acer 22 inch connected via VGA. both going to an ati graphics card). On top of this my computer will not switch the default monitor from my 42 inch to my 22 inch and this is the larger of the two issues in this section due to the fact that I dont always use my TV -> thats usually when I'm watching movies Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am extremely new to Ubuntu and Linux as a whole. I have greatly enjoyed the learning experiences that I have had in the past two days. Also I just prefer Ubuntu to windows. Its sleek its fast and its fun to tinker with . If it would not be a problem please explain the reasoning behind any solutions. And PLEASE feel free to ask any questions, Im here to help you help me! Just kidding. If i can ever return the favor just let me know!
I work for a technology company manufacturing PDA's.
We want to setup a test environment of multiple PC configurations (Linux, Mac, Windows - XP, Vista, 7 and both 32 and 64 bit platforms).
I have played with GRUB a little and got that working with Windows XP Pro for dual boot options on Ubuntu.
I am wondering if it is possible to setup more operating systems on the 1 computer hardware (could install more hard drives if required) with GRUB. Not sure if PC hardware can take installs of both 32 and 64 bit platforms or not.
Or is it better to have 1 PC for each OS? What are the advantages of that? Obvious disadvantage is cost of hardware.
Or is it better to setup VirtualBox for this sort of environment?
Im in trouble with my ramdisk, because its to small for my application i want to cross-compile for an embedded system. in fact i have only a precompiled kernel and cant change the settings of the kernel. the kernel is configured for ramdisks with a maximum size of 20MB. i have a montavista toolchain but dont have a montavista distribtion, because its a way too expensive.
So .. the question. i want to try if its possible to use multiple ramdisks for my embedded linux. one ramdisk as root i already have. and the other as partitions or sth. if i start the kernel with exec 0x01600000 -c ".. root=/dev/ram initrd=.." it only boots with the given ramdisk. whre can i apply a second ramdisk to use as extra filesystem to gain more usable space? is this possible?
I'm trying to setup a CentOS 5.5 with 1 NIC to have several IP addresses on same subnet, each with different MAC addresses. I tried macvlan and multimac but both gives same MAC address (the one of physical NIC) for all IP addresses configured in ARP table on remote hosts. Is it possible to send the 'right' MAC address in ARP requests of corresponding IP address?
