I need something like that
Code:
checkip 192.168.3.44 >> ip.txt
ip.txt: ON!
And with that i wish to see if my sister's computer is connected to the internet.
A ping based solution is ok but i need things like returning 0 for pc not connected to internet and 1 otherwise.
I'm trying to do an online security check on my Linux system.I would like to do a Firewall/Antivirus test. What free online sites do you know?For instance, I use ShieldsUp to test some firewall's components.Does someone recommend anything else?I still can't find a site that tests for the presence of virus/malware installed.Are there any?

However, sometimes my laptop is on when anacron starts the back-up job but my laptop is offline, so that it cannot rsync with my desktop. Is it possible to tell anacron to re-schedule the task to either the next time I'm online again or to some later date (preferably not the next scheduled time, but some time before)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedTotal noob here and I am trying to figure out a way to "Check out" eBooks from the online Marmot library.
- Laptop with Ubuntu solely.
- Calibre installed
This post [URl].. by No Bugs! is what has me hoping. Can I install Android: [URL].. Then install the Android version of Overdrive: [URL]..
To get books from: [URL].. with my library card. And install those books on to an eReader (probably Sony505) via Calibre? Not trying to steal the books or illegal download I just want the same "check out" capabilities as the rest of the computing public.
I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.
I want to put check menu & check list in utility dialog.i dont know how i do this

Can't ping, can't browse, no Samba, nothing.I've checked my IP, mask, gateway, broadcast, network, and DNS settings and they're correct. I've restarted networking, restarted the machine, nothing. I've replaced the network card with a different brand and interface, nothing.As I stated before, this is a NAS, so network connectivity is needed. It's running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit desktop.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi had ubuntu 9.10 and updated to 10.04. i also removed WIN while in process of upgrading, anyhow, now pc will not allow me to get online. i did not unplug anything when i upgraded pc, not until after i realized i could no longer get online did i change the ethernet cable, and remove the router (both of which failed).
i have looked to see if i needed to install something extra to be able to get back online, but so far i haven't found a site stating that i need another package to get online.
my problem: i am using unbuntu 9.10 on a dell 1420 inspiron laptop. i wanted to uprage to the new version of linux "lynx" . while i was doing that a problem occurred while downloading the new packages. It said that what i have already downloaded would be saved but i had to restart the download--so far no real problem. When i restarted my computer, wicd wanted to access my internet card interface, or something like that, and asked for my password, i gave it, and then wicd said it couldnt connect to my internet card and i needed to check the wicd error log. everytime i restart my computer i go through the same process and always end up with NO INTERNET CONNECTION WHATSOEVER, not just wireless, wired connections dont work.
i hope that was clear. the reason i was upgrading to lynx was because wicd had problems in the first place, but now i cant get on the net in any way with my laptop--so how do i fix the problem? should i burn an iso of the new linux and then stick that on my machine to uprgade? or is there another way. The main goal of mine is to have a laptop with linux that can wirelessly access the internet.
If i didnt provide enough info, i'm sorry(i'm young, but computers are pretty baffling sometimes) or if you want me to do something i can post the results, but i dont know any codes and can't find the error log for wicd.
i used the Script to download/compile Flightgear 2.0 everything works fine, except i cant seem to get online works great on Windows and OSX im using FGRUN and the normal settings DONT WORK im pulling my hair out trying to get online
View 1 Replies View Relatedi am using VMware player, on it i have dedicated 40gb of my hdd and 1gb of my ram for Ubuntu 10.04. i installed eve-online using WINE 1.2 and followed some instructions from a thread of eve online forums [URL]
Quote: to avoid some random crashes launch eve with the command: wine explorer /desktop=EVE1,1920x1200"C:Program FilesCCPEVEeve.exe" this emulates a desktop in wine. replace 1920x1200 with the resolution of your monitor
i changed the res to 800x600 and attempted to load eve, the splash window loads up and then nothing, the splash window dissapears and i am left with the background of the WINE UI (in which case i cannot close the wine window either) i then attempted to find out my graphics card and i cannot find it using
$ lspci
$ lspci -v
$ lspci -v | less
[Code]....
i then tried to hardware drivers, in which case there are none shown from system>administration>hardware drivers. I then attempted to change my screen resolution or modify my display settings in which case i got Quote: It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? Quote: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
at this time i will say my graphics card is a geforce 8600GTS 256mb let me know if i am missing information which will help resolve the problem, but be warned, if u require the info, u are litterally going to need to spell out to me what info and how to get it, as i am not used to commands
My icon shows that the connection is good using wifi. However, I could not go online. What's wrong?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought an almost new netbook with the Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on it. It's made by System76 and was designed to work with Ubuntu. I downloaded Xubuntu-desktop and wicd and it now has a lot of software on it. It connects to the internet easily with a wired connection, but I cannot get it to find an ip address on my unencrypted home wireless network...it does see my network, though.I don't see the name of the hardware when I type sudo lspci. How can I find what chipset I have for my wireless device? A how to get online wirelessly?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting online, and therefore getting software, codecs etc, (I'm using another computer for this post) because the only option I have to connect to the web is through 56k dial-up modem, and this is apparently akward with ubuntu. I'm currently trying to work out how to get Ubuntu to recognize my modem. I have over-written Vista, which was previously on my laptop, although I did make recovery discs (though I really don't want to have to use them).
This is making it difficult for me to even find the model of my modem (it would involve reinstalling Vista and checking for the device under device manager, or Vista equivalent).I was advised to download the "Official Ubuntu documentation", and that this had a 'how to' section regarding dial-up modems. I downloaded it and searched it and found nothing as such. I also have downloaded the Ubuntu pocket guide and found nothing on the topic in it either.I can get online (via dial-up) on my XP machine, and also have USB storage sticks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA couple of weeks ago I connected my desktop to the internet and upgraded Ubuntu. I haven't used it since then, until today, when I took the ethernet cord out of my laptop and stuck in in the desktop. The light next to the place you plug the cord in came on and Ubuntu tried to connect, but eventually it just said "You are now disconnected." I restarted and it continued to do this. I plugged the ethernet cord into the laptop and now I am online. What is going on here??

Last but not least, I was wondering if there were any workarounds for watching Netflix videos or shows on sites like ABC/NBC/Fox etc. I'm really trying to stick with Ubuntu but this is one of the really annoying things along with the growing list of applications i can't run I'm trying to get used to Ubuntu as a way to get out of buying a copy of Windows so I'm not really interested in solutions that involve dual booting because if I'm going to have to buy a copy of 7, I'm just going to format the laptop.
After installing 10.04 netbook remix on my acer aspire one, I have experienced all sorts of trouble. I can't get online, not with the wireless network, or with a usb-cable directly from the router. When I try to install the hardware drivers i get a message: there are no hardware drivers installed or something like that. There are no other OS on the harddrive, just 10.04 netbook remix. Another problem is the startup. Sometimes it boots right away, other times I've have to restart/reboot. 3-4 times before it works. How comes? Is there any way to download the missing packages/firmware to a usb-stick and then install it on the the netbook?

I am in charge of the computers at a school for mainly american students who are studying in my country, the school wants to enable them to watch the superbowl, tehy gave me a page with system requirements which seemed to suggest that it was just a flash movie player.
However when actually browsing to the demo I was confronted with an OS warning, at first I thought it was just a "stupid" me message like Yahoo-mail telling you that they haven't tested the rich version on your OS, but when browsing there with useragent set to winXP it turns out that you need the "MoveMediaPlayer". If left with no choice I guess I will install it together with firefox in wine, but I'd much rather have a different solution, also does anyone know if this player works well in wine?
