Ubuntu :: Get Hardware Specific Info About A /dev?
Nov 23, 2010
Is there a way to get hardware specific info about a /dev?I have added a data acquisition board, and, I don't know if it has shown up in the /dev list, or how to make it do so, or even if I want it to.It is located at address 0x300, but I don't know how to get that kind of information from something listed in /dev.I have a program that accesses the board and it is working fine, but I need to run the program as root (sudo acquire_program).I have been reading about groups and permissions and there may be a way to give access to a /dev/something to a program (or group)

I'm trying to read our companies mssql ordertracking db using php's mssql_connect. I was able to make this work when using WAMP, and I had done so by adding the same user on both machines and then applying that user name to the WAMP service. Because of viruses and poor performance... I moved the site over to ubuntu server and I have to say i am very pleased, other than I cannot make a connection to mssql now. I installed sybase5 and can see mssql is available via phpinfo. It's using freetds. I know all my connection info is correct. I can ping the machine that has mssql from the new webserver. When i try to view a test php connection page it returns nothing but a null response, and my error log just says ERROR with no specific info. I did however find out that /tmp/freetds.log returns a bunch of jibberish. ubuntu forum isn't letting me submit the whole log, so i put it on sendspace here [URL]...
I did jack around with odbc_connect but still couldn't get it to work... I feel like I am close with mssql_connect but there is some user authentication problem. why it won't return any info from the mssql db. Also I was wondering if something similar can be done with ubuntu where i applied a user to the WAMP service on my windows machine which then was able to connect to the mssql db.

I have been reading about rescue CD's but haven't found out whether I can make one using my currently running Centos(centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1 ).I tried to use a Centos cd we have here and it looks fine till it asks where the 'tree' structure is located, when I select cd it ejects it and asks the same question again. Do I need to build a rescue cd containing directory info of my specific system?This is related to wanting to fsck my file system.

How do I give permission to a logged in user to stop/start a specific service without entering a root/sudo password? So they can do a simple "service SomeService stop|start" It is for a headless Ubuntu server.

my system I want user1 and only user1 to be able to mount and unmount a specific partition, this partition contains backups and is usually mounted read only, needs to be temporarily mounted read/write by user1 while doing the backup.user1 is an unprivileged user. I've read that the user option will let any user mount the file-system (and only that user can then subsequently unmount it) and that the users option allows any user to mount or unmount the file-system.I also found this in mount's man pageQuote:The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the group of the special file.So it looks like I'd need a login script for that user to make the user owner of the device file (/dev/voiceserv/backup in this case)

I need to search a bunch of files in a specific folder for a specific number and add all the numbers together to a total sum. I use Rsync everyday, everytime I run rsync i get a logfile (rsync output) witch contains the textstring "Total bytes sent: xxxxxx".
The "xxxxx" can vary in lenght. I need to extract the "xxxxxx" from each file and add the numbers together to a total size over a week or a month. Is this possible? And I wish to only use bash. One way of doing stuff at a time my friends .

I'm trying to configure our mail server to block email from a specific sender reaching a specific recipient. In other words, if one of our employees is getting harassed by a 'stalker', how would one go about blocking, at the MTA (Sendmail) level, a specific sender email address from reaching a particular users inbox? We do not want to capture the email - simply block it before it consumes server resources.The Sendmail server (MTA) is a front end to our Exchange server so no user accounts exist on the Linux server. We simply use it as a SPAM and Virus scanner then forward clean email to the Exchange server.

I want to record an internet radio station starting at 2:00am tomorrow morning. The specific program on the radio station lasts until 6:00am. The command I need to run to record the station is: Code:mplayer http://wjcu.jcu.edu:8001/listen.pls -ao pcm:file=indie_heat_of_the_night.wav -vc dummy -vo nullI'd use cron, but 1. I'm not sure how to and 2. it seems unnecessarily complicated for something that I only want to run once. If cron is the only/easiest solution, I guess I'll just have to resort to that, but I'd rather not.

I am using TB 3.0.1 on Karmic. I finally took a look at Evolution and I like the contact features. I have been looking for a replacement for ACT (I recently migrated from XP) and this looks like it might fit the bill. Is it possible to import all of my emails, contacts, folders etc from TB into Evolution. I would like to try it out and see if it works for me. I am in sales and need a program to keep track of leads.

All of a sudden, Firefox no longer remembers login information. For example, I log into Facebook and tell it to remember me. Then I close Firefox and come back a few hours later and I get prompted to log in again. It's not just Facebook. It happens with this forum, My Yahoo, and others. In Firefox preferences, I have Remember History and Remember Passwords checked. I have not run any kind of cleanup program or cleared my browsing history. This just started happening within the past couple of days.

Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome.I have a hpDeskjet 940c. It ran great since 8.04 and still works great on 10.04. However, I had to shut down the computer it is on to do some hardware repairs to the powersupply of the computer. So, I moved my printer to another Ubuntu 10.04 machine and discovered I didn't know the settings, such as baud rate, flow control, parity, etc. Ubuntu had never asked me for them....nor was I lucky at guessing them. I then found the hp installer which said it supported my printer and would automatically do the install job, but after trying it, I found it only supported USB and my printer has only a parallel connection.
I then moved the printer to a 9.04 Machine, thinking I only needed to drop back in time, since my printer worked great during that era also, and discovered the same problem! Evidently my printer hasn't been supported for some time! Yet it has happily worked with each new version of Ubuntu.This brought me to the realization there must be a file in my home directory which survives each new full install that I do, and that contains everything my printer needs to be automatically set up, as with each new version of Ubuntu, the wizard has worked great automatically setting it up.Does anyone know the name of that file, so that I can copy it to the new machine?

I was getting is very frequently before, then I re-installed and it starts off fine then after a while it starts happening again.The problem is I have no idea what is causing it. The screen is completely frozen and won't respond to anything. The Alt sysreq combinations don't work, and I have to power off with the button.

Is there any way to "unlock" file info in Koala to become visible in the properties of that file? For example, when opening an .mp3 in VLC and checking the information, I am able to see and edit extra info that I do not see when simply right clicking the file and selecting properties. Another example is that GIMP saves comments to images, but I have nowhere to view these comments once they are saved. I would like to see more info when checking the properties of a file, dare I say like Windows enables users to. So is there a terminal code or plugin that I can install?

Is there an easy way/place to get more info on the updates that the Ubuntu (9.04) Update Manager presents to you? I know you can highlight one and look below at the "Changes" and "Description". But how can you find a real explanation of what the update is? To give one exampe: There's a 5.0MB update called: openoffice.org-writer It appears to be a new version of the Writer program?? or is it just security updates?? Should I install it if I'm happy with the current Writer version? bottom line: where can I get plain talk about what these updates are?

I'm trying to get my computer connected to the internet at work. how to set up a connect in ubuntu or any other Linux system. So I'm completely on my own. I went into windows to get my IP address, subnet Mask, gateway address, and DNS server. I put these in using sys>admin>network>wired connect | dns. Nothing works. I went to Network Tools and tried to ping the dns server and another address given from the Ubuntu help menu. Nothing. In network tools, I see two options under devices, loopback interface and ethernet (eth0). I can't do anything with loopback and it has the standard 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 showing (shadowed). So i skipped that and then clicked on the ethernet option and the "configure" button becomes active. The ip and such that I put in seem to be showing there, but when I click on "configure" I get something like "The interface doesn't exist". the network proxy setting is "direct internet connection". Seems that since I can connect when in Windows, I ought to just be able to get all the information I need and set it all up in Ubuntu. Maybe I don't have enough info from Windows, and maybe I'm not putting things in the right places in Ubuntu.

I've got an EeePC, running Jaunty, and I can use the Network-Manager to connect through my ibVPN account just fine. I want to also use this ibVPN account on my desktop running Hardy. I've tried to manually transpose all the configuration info, but it keeps coming up with errors (a number of errors, including sometimes "bad username/password"). So I thought: "Hey, why am I even bothering with all this manually transposition of credentials? I can just Export the account config info from the (working) Jaunty machine and then import them straight into the Hardy machine." Should be pretty simple, huh? Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I go to the VPN tag in the Network-Manager on Jaunty, select "ibVPN" (the working VPN account) and click Export. I tell it to save the info to a file called ibVPN (pptp).conf... and I get an error saying:
Code:
Cannot export VPN connection The VPN connection 'ibVPN' could not be exported to ibVPN (pptp).conf Error: unknown error You see that "Error: unknown error" crap? Means I don't even know what needs changing. Damn fool network-manager. I've tried jiggling stuff round, but nothing seems to make a difference.
