Is there a easy program that uses a GUI or am I going to need to do this from the terminal, either way I don't care I just need to be pointed in the right direction. I installed the 7zip package and started using it in the terminal but I can't figure out how to insert a password into my command. 7z x <package> [LOCATION] ?
View 9 RepliesI would appreciate help with how to extract the date and time from at command jobs. From what I can tell, the date and time is embedded in the file name (/var/spool/atjobs).I'd be using this information in a (bash) shell script.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to extract the absolute directory from the type command when I pass it a program name. E.g.
Code:
>type cat
cat is hashed (/bin/cat)
There is one other case (I believe):
Code:
>type lpr
lpr is /usr/bin/lpr
I thought of using regex, but it returns the whole line, not just the match. In addition, there is no option cited in the man page for type that returns just the command directory.
Note: this is part of my solution to a programming assignment in bash shell scripting.
I have finally gotten Samba working! Turns out there was no domain set, even though I remember setting it during the install process...hich brings me to yet another question... Now that I have a mount command that works, how do I insert this such that it is run during the boot process? I want to automount a few Samba shares. Is this a good idea?If not why not? If so, where do I edit to add the mount command?

I am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI migrated an old SuseLinux 10 box to Debian (Lenny) a couple months ago, and apparently no one noticed you can't change your password. Root can do it because passwd doesn't ask root for a password, but no one else can (although they can log in, passwd doesn't recognize their login password when they attempt to set a new password and it asks).I changed authentication to use blowfish when I setup the server (because the SuseLinux 10 system used it) and apparently the passwd command doesn't work with that. Apparently I need to update another configuration file or possibly get a different program to update the passwd file if I use blowfish. Any ideas?
The weird thing is that it can generate a blowfish hash to set a new password, but apparently can't generate one to authenticate the user.something changed recently and it is no longer generating a blowfish hash when setting a new password. It is generating a hash with only 13 characters. And I can clearly see that many users have changed their passwords.
Error: Cannot connect to the database because: INSERT command denied to user 'webuser'@'localhost' for table 'visitor'

For some reason passwd does not accept my current password as the old password when i try to change my password with the command passwd. Im not sure whats wrong with whatever linux uses to handle passwords but I cant even change passwords with the root user account. Is there any way to fix both of these problems.

I've been reading tutorials of Linux sed command, but haven't got anything yet. the problem is : I want to insert a line into my DNS database file which has a pattern like below:
<Domain name> 3tabs here <IN> <A> <ip address>
the question is : how to add a line into a file like this using linux sed command? I have problem inserting tabs and the spaces!
a vim (alghough I esteem the corresponging vi command is the same) command to insert one character only, into the text being edited. That is, I'm in command mode, I issue command INSERT, I type a character, and automatically I'm again in command mode, where INSERT is the command I do not know. I have vimtutor but do not see it explained there.

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust installed Lucid from CD ROM. I have 2 HDDs. When the install screen came to ask about partitions, it didn't seem to want me to install it onto the same HDD as my XP/Ubuntu 9.10 partitions, so I installed it onto my other HDD. After it finished, I restarted and it appeared on GRUB. It takes me to a command line where it asks me for my desktop login and then my password.
It allows me to type in my login, but the password isn't so easy. It won't let me type it in. It's as if the keyboard stops working apart from the return key. I have no understanding of command line. As soon as I'd entered my password, it went on to tell me that there were no packages to install, and then stayed on command line as if I'd just opened a terminal. How would I get it to take me to my desktop?
I'm currently writing a script that will update the software packages on six ubuntu servers so I don't have to go in and update them manually constantly. Problem is, I'm not sure which command I should use to do this the most effective and safe way. Currently, I use sudo apt-get upgrade -y on my own machine, though I can see how this could be dangerous on production servers. I was in the IRC chat and I was told aptitude safe-upgrade is something I may want to look into. Is there a way I can only update security related stuff instead of everything? What do you guys suggest would be the best way going about this? Another issue I can foresee is certain packages that have an interactive prompt. While apt-get upgrade -y takes care of most of this, MySQL would fail with this as it opens up it's own prompt. Anyway I could make my script skip these types of prompts, so I can go back and update them later manually?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to uninstall packages via the program name? For example, if I want to uninstall the program "KWordQuiz" then I would usually have to use the command removepkg -package name But unfortunately I have a fresh install and want to get rid of a lot of programs. So instead of using the package repository and finding each package which would take days (maybe) and removing them individually I'd like to remove a program and all its supporting packages. I am probably just rambling on... Umm, so yes is there a way, or do I have to suck it up and sit at the keyboard for days.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to quickly remove multiple related packages from the command line instead of having to enter the name of every single one? I am trying to remove OpenOffice from my server running 10.04. It would work nicely if I could get a list of packages without line breaks, such as the list displayed by aptitude when upgrading. That way I could just paste the package list into the terminal. However, "aptitude search 'openoffice'" dumps a long list on many lines that cannot be used that way.
