I currently have Red Hat 5.4 installed and subscribed to red hat network for alert updates.The updates will be done by our administrator but I will like to check if the admin has done so on a weekly basis. Is there a command that generates a report or allows me to check if certain updates has been patched? I understand running a yum update will list all applicable patches. Should we just simply update all or only certain applications applicable to our organization environment?
I am trying to understanding package tools in ubuntu. After I read some documents on internet. I did some exercise myself. And I got some questions. I installed fex package.

Whenever I try and use php from the command line, I get this message:PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/imagick.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/imagick.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0The problem isn't the missing module, it is the warming message itself -- it is breaking scripts that rely on the output.I tried shutting off errors, changed my error reporting to:

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer AS1410 netbook. I'm having a huge problem setting up a VNC server for it. I've got it all configured so I can connect to it, it loads up the gnome desktop just fine, I can move the mouse around and everything. The problem is that the mouse seems to click away constantly whenever I am remotely connected. If I hold the left mouse button down on the client end it stops this action, but as soon as I let go of the button it starts clicking away again.

I use the TV + HDMI cable. Versions tested 32BITS/64BITS (stay with x64) has no disk error. already downloaded several times. MD5 is correct well ... I'll start here with my concerns ... version 9.04 onwards does not work gives blackscreen. I think "forgotten" by the generic drivers for ATI or something that influences the video. it does not show. 9.10,10.04,10.10 none of those versions worked ... on other computers functioned normally. I found researching how to dribble and go to live. and thus unable to install. but does not work after the pc restarts. Linux does not. shows nothing ... goes to black screen with the (- FLASHING) but nothing else happens.
I use wireshark (ethereal) to moniter the traffic passing through the NIC. I find that system always sends "bad checksum" TCP/UDP packets. In CentOS 5.2 this is seldom. Does your system (5.3) send "bad checksum" TCP/UDP packet ?
I have a setup samba and want to get the correct security permissions when my wife creates / copies files from her camera onto the shared/mapped drive on her new laptop (windows 7) I want the permissions set to 770 or maybe 760. See my config below.
Now I can get it to create 760 but even if I change the mask it still generates the same permissions. After every change I restart the samba service. the umask is still 0022, do not know if that makes a difference? The directory permission's are correct with this mask. Do I need to look at groups?
I have two Roboards that need to communicate with one another. I have sucessfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 using the 386 kernel based on instructions found online.I can use the GUI to set up an Ad-Hoc network using one Roboard ("Create New Wireless Network"), call it Manet, and connect to "Manet" using the GUI on the other Roboard and ping/ssh between the boards. However, when I try to create the same wireless network using the command line using:
ifconfig wlan2 down iwconfig wlan2 key off essid 'Manet' channel 5 ap any ifconfig wlan2 up
I don't see any entry in iwconfig under "Cell". It keeps giving me "Not Associated"When I try to enter the same information on the other Roboard to try to connect to the network, it doesn't connect and under iwconfig, I don't even see any entry for ESSID. Could somebody please tell me why it works when I use the GUI and not the command line.
and it came up with something like "cp omitting directory xxxx" for all directories (so each line xxxx was just a folder name. I was trying to move all directories in my Downloads folder to the skins folder u see above. But when I replaced the "cp" with "mv", it all worked fine. How come? I dont see why i can move but not copy?
Does anyone know why Nautilus would allow me to login to a server but not display any files, but when I log in via the 'ftp' command-line binary, it works and allows me to display all the files, make directories, etc.? I was able to login via FileZilla too.

Via a network traffic monitoring tool I see that my laptop is generating lots of outgoing (EDIT : incoming !!) network traffic. Although no download program is running or any other program of which I know that could be generating this much traffic. Something strange is going on and I need to know how I can find out which program( s ) are generating network traffic.
I sorted a large mailing list and the result is in almost sorted order, but not quite.The sort was invoked in the default manner, just "sort".See (below) a segment of the output file.(Note: the actual files have a street address following each name.I have omitted the addresses to avoid complaints about disclosing personal information on-line.) I expect all people named KATZ to be grouped together, but they aren't. This phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the output file, so it has nothing to do with surnames beginning with the character string KATZ.
My machine is trying to communicate with another computer. I�ve blocked the traffic with this machine with iptables (input and output traffic), but I want to find the origin of this traffic. There�re 90% of probabilities it�s a trojan, and I want to find it.I have logged the packets with iptables (and then dropped), but with this I don�t know the proccess source.I�ve tried with netstat -o, but I don�t get nothing.How can I see the Process source (i.e. the PID) of this traffic?The traffic are TCP packets, with SYN flagged active (my machine is trying to establish a connection with that IP).

Miro worked well with Wheezy. When I upgraded to Jessie Miro started generating a python error as such:
Code: Select all~$ miro using /usr/bin/miro.real Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 183, in <module>   from miro import startfrontend  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/miro/startfrontend.py", line 53, in <module>
[Code] ....
I have been searching for a few weeks trying to find an answer to no avail. I tried three different kernels, renaming ~/.miro, checked all dependencies. I reported it as a bug which sat there for a few days and disappeared.

Having an odd problem running a mysqldump via crontab. I have the script running on other servers and they work fine, so not sure how to actually troubleshoot, but the script looks like the following;
If I run it as a cronjob as root, it finishes in a second and a 20k file is there. If I run it from the command line as root it does the backup (takes a few minutes) but does complete the backup and can be unzipped and read successfully.
