backing out of a "nightly build" repo? In my case I'm doing Chromium from a "nightly build" PPA. I'm thinking this isn't such a good idea anymore. I'd like to get "latest, greatest" but not this incessant nightly build, which I'm fairly sure is giving me a buggy Chromium more than not. How can I gracefully back out of nightly and into just the regular latest repo?
View 4 RepliesI got Thunderbird 5.0a2 Beta because it had the file that runs it in there, but I can't find it anywhere in the Firefox Nightly Build one. There's also no config file in there either, and I don't want to replace my Aurora 6.0a2 Beta with the very unstable Alpha until I try it out. I would try it in the Virtual Machine but it'd take too long to set it all up.

I downloaded the .bz2 file and Archiver extracted it for me. I remember in Slackware you just use installpkg on .bz2 files... Or was it .gz... I forget, anyway, how can I run Nightly-Build? Run-Mozilla.sh opens my Aurora browser.
I have a really quick question-I would like to set up some type of scheduled event to back up my entire /home folder to a USB drive.I know about all of the various programs such as simple backup, etc. and have used them before. As far as I know, these programs cant do what Im trying to do.Does anyone know what I could use to back up my files at a specific time to a specific USB device?Preferably, I would like to just have a simple
Code:
sudo cp /home /media/Cruzer
run every night at, say, 2am.

I have been looking around online and I am seeing that there are several solutions for doing a nightly automated backup on Linux. I was wondering what people here actually use for doing such and why they use one particular backup method over another.
What I am looking to do is every night (at say 3am) I want my system to backup my 200gig Documents folder to my external hard drive. Does Ubuntu have a tool built in by default to do this or do I need to add something from the repos/online?
i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.
I have Mandriva 2006 on a computer that I regularly backup important directories every night to a flash drive. I use Cron for my backup with scheduled backups nightly. For my script file to do the backup, there is a line that says to copy these directories to /media/sda/backup, so I figure it was copying to the sda named usb device. Well it wasn't. It is copying to the /media/sda/backup directory on my harddrive. But I would like to copy it to a usb device. How do I find out the name of my usb device that I have plugged in?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am a Mac user since 1988. I recently discovered Linux Ubuntu and love it. So much that I use it about 95% of the time. On the Mac there is an application I use called Superduper which makes a bootable backup to an external USB drive.
Can I do the same kind of thing using the dd command? I use the excellent Cron GUI Scheduled Tasks. I was hoping that maybe I can use that to schedule nightly bootable backups. Is dd the right tool to use? Once the initial backup is done (which I understand can take a long time), does dd do incremental backups after that.
Looking forward to how I can set this up so that I can just set and forget reassured that bootable backups are occurring overnight.
While on the 32 bit version i haven't problem. I use different profile for the stable and the nigthly versions. Note: I use the binary taken directly from mozilla and update regulary it directly from the browser. On the attachment you can see what should be appear after the update.

i want to make sure my mail server is behaving as expected. the past two nights, i've received logwatch notices below. the section in question is the 20 or so deferrals from some .ru e-mail address. i've since removed the user that registered on my wordpress blog (wlvp@yandex.ru) and added the three IP address to iptables DROP, but these "e-mails" still look like they're in some queue unless i'm reading wrong. i've removed known usernames in case you find the numbers useful. why are all these deferred messages here? if they're stuck in a queue, can i remove them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wasn't paying proper attention when adding a repo to yast and need to find the file were the info is saved to delete this. The problem is that whenever i use yast it comes up with an error code saying that it can't find the data for the 'problem' repo. Have tried zypper rm but that comes up with a similar error advising that the data is in a format that was not expected. My thinking is to track the file were the yast repo source details are saved, delete this and then just add the repos that i use back.

I'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.

My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
I've got Chromium set up for nightly build updating on my Ubuntu 10.04 and I do run Update Manager daily. Lately, I get the message "The Flash plug-in was blocked because it is out of date." It gives me the option to "Run this time" or "Update plug-in." Is this a Chromium nightly build "to be expected" problem, or should I truly try to update Flash? If it's Flash that needs updating, what should I add to my Software Sources to get this newer Flash that I'm not getting normally?

I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?
