Recently installed Fedora 11 from CD on eeepc900HA. Update manager suggested 402 updates available. trying to update I get the following traceback error report:

just a general weirdness, but some folders that are in my /home folder don't show up. if i check "show hidden folders", they still don't show up. for all terms and purposes, they are simply not there. however, if i search for them through the search tool, or beagle, they show up as being in my /home folder. so, anyone have any idea how this happened, or how i can remedy this?

I would like to be able to instruct Gnome to use a certain icon for a file type however I cannot find anything within Gnome to be able to get it done automatically. How does Gnome assign an icon to a file type? I really want to have Gnome display one of the fancy icons from OpenOffice.org for their Writer/Calc/Publish documents rather than the default icons that Ubuntu (Gnome) assigns to it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLast time,I changed the icon for the ding-dictionary,it used the gear-wheel symbol before. The I saw,that the hidden directories also used the new icon,and now they are all gone Did install the old 256.53-NVIDIA-driver last night,but that should not be the reason ?
View 4 Replies View Relatedcan assign permissions on a partition with ntfs as the file system. I am aware of editing fstab and setting some basic permissions. What I am clumsily dictating is can you edit permissions of individual folders for specific users in Linux. I have already tried chmod and such
etc something similar to this
Code:
[user@computername user]$ sudo chmod 600 directory
I know there are permissions one can assign to certain files and folders, but this won't come in handy if you need quick access to a file -and as User I often do- and don't want to slow down getting root permissions. You know, just open-close-move on. Is there a way, as user, to assign a password to a file or a folder? It would make the job a lot easier and more efficient.

I'm trying to give myself access to /dev/ttyS0. This is because I'm developing code that uses a serial port. While I'm developing this code I don't want to be continually working as super user. I have the following information about /dev/ttyS0:
Code:
So as root I added myself (username freddy) to the group uucp. This is just temporary, for while I work on this code and try different stuff as user freddy. Once the code is established and I have a single program with a fixed name, I plan to give myself an entry in /etc/sudoers that will allow me to run the finished program.
Here's the info on user freddy:

The problem then is that now if I try to use /dev/ttyS0 I can't.

I thought that if I was a member of group uucp which is associated with /dev/ttyS0 that I would be given rw access to /dev/ttyS0. What am I missing here?

Lets start with useful information:I need to create a hidden file for windows/linux using my c++ program.The file will be created on a mp3 player (fat32 file system) and the name will be ".myFile", so the file will appear hidden onux system (period before the name).The problem:Using windows I'm able to see this file, cause the "hidden" attribute is not set.
On Windows API there's a function to do that (CreateFile), then I was trying to find a compatible function to set the hidden attribute, but there's no success until now.Could someone show me the way? There's a program to change these attributes: mattribI will try (again) to find the source code, if someone knows where could I find it
At my wit's end I can't find anything that I understand well enough to use. This is for a Unix class, we are working with shell scripting.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original image file that you have hidden data in with steghide. The basic Idea is you have a photo using gpg sign it and then embed the signature. then remove the signature at a later time and check it with the signature. I hope another "inverse" algorithm doesn't need to be written to undo the first (if a "inverse algorithm is possible). This assume you already have the pass phrase or that there is no pass phrase. I already know how to retrieve the original file just want to remove the hidden data from the Image and restore it's attributes.

I know about toggling them on and off with Ctrl-H, but I would prefer not to have to use that. I have my options set so that dolphin and konqueror do not show hidden files by default.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've done a low level format on them so they're completely empty. When I use them with my windows machines, they're absolutely fine. When I plug them into my Ubuntu machine, there is a hidden directory created called 'RECYCLER' which I'm assuming is for deleted files?However, it also creates a .exe file in this directory called 0x2D9FA278 which has an Icon with an H in it and a comment of 'Facebook Photo' This has the effect of making all the directories on the stick into shortcuts! I googled the file name and it seems to be some sort of Trojan, but I don't understand how it's go into my Ubuntu machine, I've scanned with ClamAV and it finds nothing.

I don't know whether this is happening because my machine is behind an HTTP proxy, or for some other reason. When I enter my Ubuntu One account name and pass into "Connect to Ubuntu One" and click Connect, I get this code error instantly:
Code: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makefile' If I enter nothing or invalid data into these fields, a red icon is displayed immediately, but the error above appears with valid and accurate data in the fields. If this is a proxy issue, why doesn't the application honor the system-wide proxy settings?

I have two touch screen monitors tha tI'm configuring for a dual-head display.That is working.For the touch screens it's a bit more complicated, each touch screen requires that I apply a specific config file for each individual TS (touch screen). Each config file is unique to it display. for that I'm using xinput to apply those configuration.My problem here is that the TSs are the same model and show up under udev and xinput under the same the same name minus the different hardware IDs whish is the only way that I can currently distiguish them.So far I've experimented with tweaking the udev rules for a particular TS with no luck (more than likely because I might be doing it wrong).I ned to be able to tell the two appart when I apply the configurations in xinput so I can write a script that will do this automatically for me.

After installing F11, I installed OpenLdap with the command "yum -y install openldap*" And added the password obtained through the command "slappasswd -s password -h {MD5}" into /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. Also, I specified the domain information within the file on "suffix" and "rootdn". I also modified the domain name in both /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap.conf. I copied the Copied the /usr/share/doc/openldap-servers-2.4.15/DB_CONFIG.example to /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG. Then started the server with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start I then was able to create and delete OU's and CN's with the help of ldapadd and ldapdelete. I also created PERSON records using the base.ldif file with the content ;
dn: cn=user1, ou=domain, dc=example, dc=com
objectClass: person
cn: user1
sn: user1
Everything is OK until I try to add a person with an email address in the "mail" attribute. The error message is ;
***************************

This error message is appearing also with "uid" attribute. I have searched some forums and found some suggestions to include the line
"include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.scheme" in the file /etcopenldap/slapd.conf, which is already in.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBasically, i have a clustered filesystem using GlusterFS. This is ultimately going to host a very large number of files.
It is mainly used as a storage destination for backups, and historical copies of files.
Remote servers sync using unison every few minutes. A local script will run over the whole filesystem once per hour looking for new files/folders, and files that have been updated based on their timestamp.
99% of filesystem access is browsing the directory structure, listing directory contents and checking the modification times of files. Access to the actual content of a file is minimal. Only a tiny fraction of the filesystem is actually modified from hour to hour.
GlusterFS alone is quite slow when browsing the directory structure. (ie. "ls -Rl /data") The speed of things for actually transferring file content is sufficient for my requirements.
What I need is to vastly improve performance when running operations such as "ls -Rl /data". (/data is the mount point)
I believe the best way to do this is to implement caching. The cache options within GlusterFS are simply not sufficient here.
My first thought was to re-export the GlusterFS mount with NFS, and then mount the NFS share and set the cache on the client to a very long expiry. (like 86400 = 24 hours) It is my understanding that any change made to a file using the mount point will invalidate the cache entry for that file. (it is only mounted in one place, so no changes possible at the back end.)
I did this using the kernel based NFS server, but ran into major problems with the "Stale NFS" errors which from reading is due to a problem related to FUSE that doesnt sound like its going to be fixed soon. Aside from the Stale errors, this did provide a suitable boost in performance.
I tried the beta of GlusterFS that has the integrated NFS server (so presumably, no FUSE) but I could not get this to compile properly on our servers.
Finally, I tried using the Gluster patched version of unfs3 that uses boost to talk to Gluster instead of FUSE. Now this works, but for some reason the NFS client cache doesnt seem to cache anymore.
One last thing that I was looking at is the possibility of running a simple cache layer in front of either GlusterFS or NFS. I believe Cache-FS is the tool for the job but I have been unable to get that to work - I believe it is disabled in my kernel or something. (mount command says cachefs is unknown)
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on most servers, but have upgraded one to 10.04 to try and get around Kernel limitations. My servers are all 32 bit (I know, not recommended for GlusterFS) and its very difficult for me to change this. (its a live system)
I quite simply need to add a cache for the directory structure information, and then maybe export this with NFS so that it can be mounted on a *single* server. (the cache can be on the server where it is mounted if required, but due to the large size of the cache - it may be better to have a server dedicated for the cache)
I am running GlusterFS 3.0.5 in a replicate/distribute manner.
