View 1 RepliesHow exactly do you hide information when downloading with WGET e.g. is there a parameter that can hide the download location, or extra information and only show the important information such as progress of the download?

My Evolution was broken, so after copying ~/.evolution to a safe location, just now I did an zypper rm evolution, then zypper in evolution and finally updatedb, now when I start Evolution, I get: Your system configuration does not match your Evolution configuration..
Code:
linux-uitj:/home/anisha # evolution
** (evolution:7326): WARNING **: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I have the following query:
Code:
$sql="SELECT table1.datetime, table1.user_id, table2.ip, FROM table1,table2 WHERE id='$id' AND (table1.id = table2.id AND table1.datetime = table2.datetime)";
In table2 the datetime fields are about 1 to 2 seconds off due to the source of the data, which I cannot change.
Is it possible via a query match table1.datetime & table2.datetime by HH:MM (ie. to the minute instead of to the second)?

I have a strange problem about the system tray that I hope someone else solved ...I have 11.4 64bit with all the new up-dates installed and sometimes the system tray Stops hiding.I have the option to hide the system tray and it just stays there.I noticed this sometimes happens when the show plasma dashboard or show desktop widgets are used.Is there a "cure" for this? Does someone have the same problem ?Another issue is that in my install the /home mount point was mounted on top of an older install of Opensuse.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAs a matter of routine, I use dd to collect my hard drive master boot records, and I save the resulting file someplace where I can always get to it if I have to. It has occasionally saved me when some kind of disaster has struck and damaged a partition table or rendered a drive unbootable.Since I have switched to a fully encrypted system, I have been wondering exactly how to save the dmcrypt information. Dmcrypt works with a standard filesystem, and the filesystem itself isn't encrypted, only the contents.Thus dmcrypt must write a header someplace that includes all the information needed to decrypt the contents of the partition, including the key and the type of encryption employed.
Should something happen that causes that header to become corrupted, the entire partition is inaccessible and no recovery tool will work. So, it would seem like a really good idea to use dd to copy that header someplace safe.Now, I haven't taken the time to sit down, read the dmcrypt code, and try to figure out how to do it from that. The command cryptsetup luksDump doesn't do what I want because it dumps that information, but not in a format that would be immediately useful in copying the information back to a damaged partition. And every howto I've found tells me how to set up dmcrypt, and encrypt partitions and so forth. None tell me how to recover this information, other than mentioning that it is stored in the first few sectors of the partition.
Looking at some of this through a hex editor, I *think* that saving the first 512 bytes of the partition gives me what I want, but I'm not positive of that and I hesitate to depend on any putative backup scheme of this sort that I haven't vetted. I want to save no more than I need, and I certainly don't want to save any less than what I need.Edit: As I think about it, the first 512 bytes can't be enough because Luks/dmcrypt permits multiple keys. So how much information do I need to save?
Why can't Ubuntu store configuration information in a way that it wouldn't need to be clobbered in order to apply security updates? For example, this mornings updates told me I had to choose between using a new version of smb.conf that's part of the security patches, stick with the old version, or let the update installer merge them. Of course, the first two choices have obvious drawbacks: why should I have to choose between losing all my SMB settings or refusing security fixes? So I chose the merge, which came back with "Conflicts found during three-way merge! edit `/etc/samba/smb.conf' and sort them out manually."

NAT and firewalling are handled by firehol. It runs a DHCP server to provide the desktops with IP addresses. It runs a Samba server with some file shares. It runs Squid and Dansguardian in an intercepting-proxy configuration. Of particular interest might be whether the MAC addresses of the stolen desktops can be obtained, which might help with tracking them down. Also anything to narrow down the time of the break-in.
I've been looking for a tweak that would allow me to store temp and log files in ram. I've found a few that involved editing the fstab file, but they were either Ubuntu articles or they were over a year old and perhaps didn't apply to Fedora 14.I hear there is also a 'noatime' command that can help speed up processes by telling the kernel not to saved when files are accessed.And what are the advantages and disadvantages of noatime, and writing log/tmp files to ram?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAccording to the man page, the "recent" match of iptables accepts certain parameters (e.g. "ip_list_tot"). I'd like to change the values of some of them.
All the solutions found on the web were about changing parameters for module, but my kernel was compiled without modules support (such that it can be used for installation booting as well).
How can I change the match parameters for my non-modular kernel ?

Ubuntu tried to update, but some problems occurred. The triangle with an exclamation point in it showed up and I rolled my mouse over it.This is what it says:
"The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selection 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail."
I did what it says and this came up:"The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
and in the white box below the message:"Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
i have been using ubuntu for just over 3 months now and i completely love it. but heres where the problem starts (and please let me know if i am in the right topic) i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 on my roommates computer, the reason being is that the IT department here on college "fixed it" for him, now it wont connect to the internet. it will however connect if we use an ethernet cable from the other laptop to his. his had originally windows xp then got upgraded to vista. i was wondering if there was a way to completely reset the networking wifi card if that might be the problem.
my roommates computer is a DakTech PlaidBook, however i do not know on how to check the system information in the terminal to tell you what wifi card he has and such, all i want is to have internet back on his computer again.
I have a very basic problem. Whenever I click on About Me(System->Preferences), I cannot see any information editing window. However, the mouse pointer does show the system is budy doing something, nothing shows up and then the pointer returns to default as if the system is no longer busy. What can I do to change my personal info?
