Ubuntu :: Created LiveCD With ISO - How To Auto Deploy
Apr 26, 2011
I've created a live cd with wubuntu.iso on it and am having trouble getting it to deploy on another laptop. Is there another file in the remastersys folder that needs to be added so it will auto deploy? This is part of remastersys creation for cloning your system to deploy on another laptop/pc.
My DVD drive has gone bad and with new Fedora 14 just launched I decided to install the same through the usb flash disk.
First I used dd: dd if=/home/prabhat/Download/Fedora-14-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb
It went on nicely and copied the iso nicely. But I could not boot with it.
Second time I tried livecd-tools: livecd-iso-to-disk /home/prabhat/Download/Fedora-14-i386.iso /dev/sdb1
It went on nicely, and finally declared something like - usb disk is not live .... But here again when I tried to boot it says MISSING OS. I checked the contents of the flash disk. It contained raw DVD iso image, one images directory, one syslinux directory. I checked the contents of the images directory, and I found it had the install.img. And yes, the /dev/sdb1 is bootable.
Im trying to build an initrd image for my livecd using cpio -o -H newc, but the livecd can't boot. If I create the initrd image using mkfs.ext2 then it works.
I'm just learning to use Eclipse (have previously been a vim+make developer). I created the standard Hello World project following the tutorial. The program compiles fine, but if I build it again without cleaning the project, make aborts with a glibc double free message (pasted below). The same thing happens if I run make in the Debug directory outside eclipse. I don't know make well enough to figure out what the problem is, and to my mind Eclipse shouldn't be generating a buggy makefile anyway.
I've attached a tarfile of the project directory. Download the file and the following sequence of commands should show you the problem: tar xvzf HelloWorld.tar.gz && cd HelloWorld/Debug && make && make Also, if you think it would be worthwhile submitting a bugreport to the Fedora Eclipse dev team, let me know where I can do that and I'll be happy to.
I work for an independent school where most of our computers run Windows 7 and Mac OS X. I've started installing Ubuntu (11.04) on some of our older machines, thus introducing Linux to our environment and recycling computers which would otherwise be candidates for the garbage truck. While I am familiar with imaging and deploying Windows and Mac OS, I am lost when it comes to Linux. I have set up a computer with all of the settings and applications that I would like the other computers to have. how can I image that reference machine and then transfer that image onto another PC?
how I can deploy a WAR file with a Tomcat that happens to be installed on a server. I divided it to different small questions but no strait answer so far.
These are the things I've done:
created a myapps folder inside the tomcat directory, and copied the WAR file there.
These are the questions:
1. I did not touch anything inside the Tomcat folder, anything need to be changed?.
2.How to start the Tomcat so that it can deploy th e WAR file?
I have ubuntu 10.04LTS server. Open jdk and tomcat6 installed from synaptic package manager. I run different war files on tomcat6. I downloaded apache-continuum-1.3.7.war. I followed the instructions on apache continuum web site. [URL]
I am looking for a server solution that would allow me to deploy Windows Desktops and software to clients on the network. Ideally I am looking for a Linux server solution but would consider a Windows Open Source alternative.
In the past I have used Symantec Altiris Deployment Server.
We are going to deploy a new network with PCs and servers. until here, Windows was choosen. However, because of legacy applications, Linux is now chosen. Therefore, I am looking for something to replace Active Directory. I know there are software for eacho prupose (BIND for DNS, But I would like to have a central tool with integration between services as Active Directory can provide.
The services I need are: - DHCP - DNS - Directory for central authentication (workstations are not on stand alone) - File shares - Binary repository for upgrade (as WSUS on Windows) - NTP
I have a Dual Boot system set up that i need to be able to deploy to a dozen identical computers in a lab envrionment. from a linux server. In order to do this i will need to be able to clone the MBR, Partition Table, and all the data.
i wanted to deploy a firewall for my wireless network. low power footprint & small device that can be installed with linux to create a small firewall appliance.i might try configuring shorewall on it.
I am trying to deploy servlet into Jboss and while starting jboss server it showing some messages which says something like this Packages waiting for deployer and complete server start-up information.
i installed apache 2.2.15 in my system its working properly.... but i deployed some php files in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs ... i was not able to run that php files ..... if i run that php file in browser it shows content of that file... for an example i created one test.php file(it contains <?php echo "hello world" ?>) and put it in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs... if i run in browser using this [URL] its shows in browse like this <?php echo "hello world" ?>......
I thought of a command that would make my life easier, though I do not know how to deploy it with bash script. The idea- A simple script that would check in a the current directory for *.bz2 or *.gz files,and when finds one of those,or both - execute a tar -xvf *.bz2/*.gz following the files that have been found there. It should be very simple,as I am very new to bash,I can`t figure that out. I wrote :
[Code]....
The idea ls command that would find *.gz files in the current dir,then it outputs the errors to ./tmp.txt, if there were no errors = a tar.gz archive found,tmp.txt will be blank,hence the cat command that checks the file. The wrong - I couldn`t succeed with the "cat 'tmp.txt' == '' ;" ,as cat command searches == as a file and it fails.
We have to install centos 5.5 in approx 60 servers and we want to have a server in which we can create an image of 1 server and deploy it on all other severs through pxe. Mainly all servers will be having raid 5 or raid 1 configured. So the utility should be having the raid support.
I wonder if there is any fast deploy kernel for multiple servers / VPSs when new kernel is available? Kernel from RHE/CentOS is always old comparing to new versions from kernel.org
Does Linux have any patch management software/solution which can distribute the patches to linux and windows clients OR is it possible that we can deploy the patches from Linux to windows machines
I need to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 onto a server that is currently running Linux. Effectively, I want to restore a Windows disk image onto the Linux system hard disk.I don't have physical access to the machine, so I need to find a way to do everything remotely, using SSH (no KVM). And the Linux machine only has one hard disk - the one containing the OS. However, I might be able to create a partition in free space at the end of the hard disk to store the image (I might need some help with the Linux commands). Or perhaps the image file can be pulled via FTP.
I tried Acronis but was disappointed to find that it doesn't seem to allow me to overwrite the system partition (unlike the Windows version of Acronis, which is capable of doing this with a restart).

we're about to migrate a set of workstations (ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to a new kerberos/LDAP setup. Basically, this requires the installation of some required deb packages and to copy some new .conf files over the original ones.We made a deb package having these "features":requires the needed other packages as dependenciesbacks up original conf filescopies the new conf files to the right places (i.e. /etc/krb5.conf,/etc/ldap.conf)The problem is: apt-get complains because the deb is "touching" files owned by other packages (kerberos, ldap, etc.). Therefore, the only way to skip this check is either to force apt-get to proceed or using the "replaces" directive in the deb control file, specifying the clashing packages. omething like this:
I'm a little bit confused with partitioning the filesystem in Linux. the difference between creating the file system with fdisk and mkfs (when formatting the disk). I can't clearly tell my problem, so please look at this picture:
I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.
However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):
1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory 2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file 3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc
and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).
I would like to exec a script whenever a user mount a device. The device could be an internal device (for example a partition on a second hard disk) or a removable one (for example a usb hard disk). The script must have sudo capabilities even if the user is not included in the admin group. Is it possible?
The specific question: I would like to add acl option to a device whenever it is mounted. I tried fstab but it's changing the behaviour of nautilus see:
[URL]... so I would like to create a script with the command
Code: sudo mount -o remount,acl /media/data and auto execute it any time data is mounted.
