I've got a shared (Windows/multiuser Linux) laptop, and I've got installed World of Warcraft and some steam games in Windows. With steam games, there is (almost) no problems. I've installed steam in Linux, and soft linked the 'steamapps' directory (per-game compatibility is another issue). With WoW, the problem is different. I would like to have almost (but not) all files. Under World of Warcraft, every file and directory must be linked except the Interface directory and WTF/config.wtf file (so every user can play with their own settings and addons). How can I have a mix of linked and not linked files without linking every file? If I link manually every file/dir, when updating from Linux other users and Windows Wow is not updated; when updating from Windows, new files remains "unlinked".
View 3 Replies View Relatedwe know that /etc/passwd - is a replica of /etc/passwd file and acts as a backup in any damage done to /etc/passwd file..i have observed a strange thing in RHEL 5.4....for example... if /etc/passwd has 100 accounts.. then /etc/passwd - is having only 99 accounts....when i add 101 useraccount with "useradd" then /etc/passwd has 101 accounts and /etc/passwd is having the 100th account of /etc/passwd - ..when i delete /etc/passwd and recover it with /etc/passwd - from runlevel 1 the lastly created user is not having his account after recovery.. what is the solution? this is same case even with /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow -

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a test server on which I'd like to run up to 30 separate instances of a program as daemons, each running on a different IP address bound to the server. I've created a init script that takes an additional command line parameter - the last octet of the IP address. For example:
Code:
sudo myprog 40 start
sudo myprog 41 start
This would run instances of the program on IP addresses 192.168.1.40 and 192.168.1.41 respectively. But it's looking like this approach isn't doable if I wish to have any or all of these run at startup, as the links in the rcN.d directories can only link to the init script, not pass a parameter.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a server running Windows Home Server and was wanting to know if Ubuntu Server could do the following requirements I currently enjoy
1. Media Streaming, to multiple devices simultaniously i.e. pc/xbob360/PS3 all at the same time. Possibly re-encoding OTF.
2. Remote Access, not just to the server but linking(so i can rdp to my main rig through the server from any internet location) to other systems on the "Home" Network both Linux and Windows.
3. Drive Pooling with redundancy, I want to be able to add and remove HDD and just have it expand the pool so current folders can just grow, but also have it duplicate or make redundant copies so if a HDD fails it can still be recovered.
4. Backup of machines on the network, either manual or scheduled, of both Linux and Windows machines
5. App sharing would be a plus but not required, so I could run a Linux app from the server seamlessly on my windows pc.
6. Basic file storage and browsable structure from windows machines.
I realise this may be a tall order and I don't expect it to be easy or straight forward in any way, but I really hate WHS, it has the slowest file access speed of any os i have ever seen, and is so buggy its unbelievable.

How can I evaluate what started the MySQL daemon? WHy is it running?
I am having some trouble making the dropbox daemon start at boot. I followed these instructions -> [URL], which are basically a replica of the original instructions from the Dropbox Wiki [URL]. The installation went fine, except that the machine still cannot start the daemon at boot. I tried to modify the init.d script a bit (see the attachment), but it still wont work (I am not sure if my changes made any significant difference, though). The daemon will only start if I invoke it manually after login with the command:
Code:
[user@machine:~]$ service dropbox start
Which executes the daemon just fine. I also tried adding this line of code to crontab:
Code:
@reboot /etc/init.d/dropbox start
This command starts the daemon if I check with the command "service dropbox status", but if I execute the official dropbox CLI command:
Code:
~/bin/dropbox.py status
it says that Dropbox isn't running and I still have to execute it manually.
P.s.: The machine runs Ubuntu Server 10.04, with all the latest system patches and updates.
I'm trying to run BoxBackup to sync a couple active servers to a data server. I installed the server and client, making sure to follow the instructions closely with all the certificates. The problem is the service daemon on the service won't even start. The service manage reports: "bbstored dead but pid file exists" (basically, tried to instantiate the process, but it died due to faults).
Here's the log of the daemon in /var/log/box

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to simply run a shortcut file or batch file in a windows os to start or stop my transmission-daemon.I was thinking about using putty to auto login and execute a file using the -m switch.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just installed subversion.I need to create a script /etc/init.d/svnserve that will start at boot time.I want to use start-stop-daemon --start so I can track my process and eventually kill it using start-stop-daemon --stop.My problem is that I can't get it to work and the documentation shows no exemple.
I've replaced $DAEMON by the whole line: svnserve -d -R -r $REPO_ROOT and got -d is not an option.I'm not quite sure what to do at that point. If someone has some experience with start-stop-daemon it would be great.
I'm more of a CentOS person, but after some issues on my new box I switched to Ubuntu server. I am working on getting it setup as a mail server (mainly for testing at the moment and soon be live).

View 10 Replies View RelatedI just thought I should signup, been checking this forum for a while and so far it had answered most of my google searches. I'm on Karmic Ubuntu and this problem keeps annoying me since it will probably damage my hdd. It's like this: I seed a lot of torrents and I'm keeping my external plugged in; most of the time it's innactive since no one is leeching old torrents and it stays mounted in stand by, being a LP model.
Now, whenever I access a folder on my desktop to browse or whatever, Nautilus freezes because it takes time to get my external back from the stand by. The problem is that the desktop folder isn't linked in any way to the external, so why is Nautilus refreshing everything including my externals when it gets started ? I have 3 externals and this happens for them all. Did you guys ever experienced this ? I was wondering if there was a fox around this or something, I'm kinda new to linux graphic interfaces.
The shell is bash.
The directory path, /this/is/directory/aa, is actually linked to the path /this/is/link/aa.
So when I cd to the aa directory I am in /this/is/link/aa and there is no /this/is/link/bb hence the error with ls.
My question is how does cd understand relative paths and not return an error the way ls does?
I have an essential problem with Gnote. Although a word is linked it is not clickable nor underlined. Basically there is not any sign showing that the word is a link. It looks like an ordinary word. However, when I select it then "Link" button becomes enabled and if I click to that button it takes me to the linked point. I think it is a very basic problem but strangely I haven't found anything about it in my searches. Is this Gnote's normal behavior? I have Ubuntu 10.04 and had this problem in both Gnote 0.6.2. and 0.7.2 (latest release).

That address is the one when it is connected through the wireless; but when it got logged out i guess it shuts the wlan interface off.
In short, i need to find the address of the computer on the other end of the eth0
