Ubuntu :: Figure Out A Way To "Check Out" EBooks From The Online Marmot Library?
Apr 7, 2010
Total noob here and I am trying to figure out a way to "Check out" eBooks from the online Marmot library.
- Laptop with Ubuntu solely.
- Calibre installed
This post [URl].. by No Bugs! is what has me hoping. Can I install Android: [URL].. Then install the Android version of Overdrive: [URL]..
To get books from: [URL].. with my library card. And install those books on to an eReader (probably Sony505) via Calibre? Not trying to steal the books or illegal download I just want the same "check out" capabilities as the rest of the computing public.

I need something like that
Code:
checkip 192.168.3.44 >> ip.txt
ip.txt: ON!
And with that i wish to see if my sister's computer is connected to the internet.
A ping based solution is ok but i need things like returning 0 for pc not connected to internet and 1 otherwise.

I'm trying to do an online security check on my Linux system.I would like to do a Firewall/Antivirus test. What free online sites do you know?For instance, I use ShieldsUp to test some firewall's components.Does someone recommend anything else?I still can't find a site that tests for the presence of virus/malware installed.Are there any?

I am writing my own anacron script that backs up my most important files from my laptop to my office pc regularly using rsync. However, sometimes my laptop is on when anacron starts the back-up job but my laptop is offline, so that it cannot rsync with my desktop. Is it possible to tell anacron to re-schedule the task to either the next time I'm online again or to some later date (preferably not the next scheduled time, but some time before)?

My uncle is a spiritual person and has a lot of ebooks, documents, web pages saved and put into a lot of folders. The collection has grown very huge and it has become impossible and cumbersome to keep track of the collection and manage the files and folders. ?

./configure script fails to configure libsf. Please check the following last few lines of configure script error.
But find command shows the following;
It seems the file libdb does exist. man dbopen displays man page for dbopen. I also tried to ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.a and libdb.so /lib dir but all were in vain.

I'm reading about shared, static, and dynamic libraries. What is SDL? Is it static, shared, or dynamic?
I always thought a library would be a lot of .h and .cpp files compiled separately into .o files and then if you compiled your own program you could use the -l parameter to link the library and it was all compiled together. Now I'm not so sure.
I don't even see any SDL .cpp files in my system anywhere. All I have are lots of SDL .h files in /usr/include/SDL and I don't really understand the code in them.
I'm making a wild guess here: SDL is a shared library. SDL itself is NOT compiled into my program, therefore SDL must be on any system my program tries to run on. When I compile and link SDL all it needs is the header files to know what SDL function and objects it can use. And then on every system it uses an already compiled SDL shared library thingy somewhere.
So... where is that part of SDL? All I can find are header files.
I'm thinking the advantage of shared libraries is that someone could say update SDL on their own system and take advantage of the new features without having to download new executables with the new version of SDL compiled into them for every program that uses SDL.
So if I'm making an editor and a game engine and they both use a lot of the same .cpp and .h files that I wrote and I'm tired of updating one and then the other and I need to turn them into a library, then a shared library might be kind of a silly solution. I could just make a static library. Right? Because it's not SDL. Nobody else is ever going to use this library.

How can we convert a dynamic library (filename.so) to a static library (filename.a) using gnu gcc . Can we get a static library form a dynamic library . I saw a few post in which the conversion form a static library to a dynamic library is mentioned but, unfortunately, not the other way.

i think this is not the right place for this post, but i can not figure out how to post a bug. i am talking about the permissions of: /tmp/orbit-root. please don't tell me now "don't" log in as root if you once login as user root from the login screen the permissions of /tmp/orbit-root are set to: drwx root but if log out the permissions are not set back / or the entry will be deleted. this will end for the next login as a normal user that you will get a bulp of error messages. easy to reproduce. this is not a feature - it's a bug.

I've been troubled by the high amount of RAM that is used by my Ubuntu desktop. Before I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (desktop, 64-bit) my system used around 500MB of RAM when no applications were open (just cold boot into the GNOME under 9.10). But when I installed Lucid, I've noticed that my used memory is now reported as 1GB or more as soon as I log into the system.
I want to figure out what is using all the extra RAM but I can't seems to find the culprit. I looked at all of the processes and numbers just don't add up. I exported the list of processes into a file and summed up the memory used by every process in a spreadsheet. The total came to around 700MB. Yet, both System Monitor and "free" reported the time that system was using over 1GB of memory. This means that at least 300MB of RAM are used but not by any process, at least as reported by "ps".

I made a bootable usb drive that I would like to test on my sony viao laptop. I cannot seem to figure out how to get into the bios so I could set it to boot from the usb. I tried pressing F10 and F12 while booting but these were all guesses as I do not know which key combination is used to go to bios on this machine.

I know this has been asked, but I can't seem to figure out which answer will work for me.I'm not a programmer. I am an experienced computer user, and have been using 10.04 for about 6 months.I rarely use my Vista OS, and have to sit with my computer as it boots up, so I can select Ubuntu during the process.Vista was on the machine when I installed 10.04, but I would really like it (10.04) to boot first.

I'm attempting to put together a 'nice' front-end for a set of image deployment scripts I've written. I'm running in to two different issues that I'm sure are related, but I can't quite figure out what the cause is. I am populating a variable with information from several text files to form my tag, string and default state for a dialog statement...
Code:
for dir in /tmp/apps/* ; do
APPMENU="$APPMENU $(echo $dir | sed 's//tmp/apps///') $(cat $dir/info)"
An example of the contents of /tmp/apps/office/info:
Code:
'Microsoft Office Enterprise' 'on'
The result of echo $APPMENU:
[Code]...
Does anyone have any idea what I should check for? Is there's a specific quoting method I need? In a Bash script I'm pulling quoted text from a file with cat then writing that same string (hopefully quoted!) to a variable. I have a single set of hard quotes (') in my text files presently.

I installed openjdk-6 on my ubuntu 9.10 system along the the documentation package and some other, related packages that looked promising but I cannot figure out how to access and navigate the documentation. (This is veering out of the scope of this forum but I also cannot figure out whether I have SJSXP installed or how to acquire and install it in case I do not.) Would one of you be gracious enough to help me figure this out so that I can get started?

setting up a wireless network, so bear with me. I just bought a Cisco wireless router and the little USB plug ins (which if I may say, are overly expensive). I can not figure out how to install the router. It is a Linksys E1000 Wireless N Router. I tried to load the software via wine. No luck doing that. I also checked out on Linksys's website and they don't give any info on linux or Ubuntu. Does someone out there know something? Or should I just take this one back and purchase something else

I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.

I think that the solution is very simple, but I cannot reach this solution. I'm trying to build an B.so that uses A.so.
A.so is compiled using C;
B.so is compiled using C++;
Inside "Aso.h" file I'had declared:
Code:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
[code]....
There's no error to compile that, this library seems to be compiled correctly, but using the "nm" command the Aso.so functions appear with "U" of undefined. Trying to build an executable using the Bso.so library, I got this error: /lib/../lib/libBso.so: undefined reference to `foo(int, int, int)' I think that to solve this problem it's only link the Aso.so with the .o files generated at the compilation phase of my Bso. Using the "ldd" command I'm able to see that Bso.so depends on Aso.so, so what am I missing?

I installed slackware 13.1 (64) but I didn't install kde because I am using fluxbox. Now I would like to install k3b. I have gslapt installed but there are no dependencies listed. The k3b website says that kde is a requirement but that can't be true. find the dependencies of the official slackware package. The slackware book does not seem to have that information.
