As a part of security policy we need to disable CDROM & USB access for normal users. Only root users should have the access. We are mainly using Ubuntu Linux.
I'm trying to set up my brother–who has a PPC Mac with 1 GHz processor and 256 MB RAM–with a Linux distro that would allow him to surf the web on the device.
If anyone knows of this Mac, they also know that support has faded for the latest browsers, rendering the device essentially useless when it comes to the web.
Ideally I would have installed Jolicloud, but alas, it is only Intel Mac compatible...
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me!
Hello everybody,
I'm not that familiar with Linux but I'm currently working on a aws image for an assignment and I need to display the DB2 version, the OS and the hardware.
Is there a commando or program of some sort I can use for this purpose?
I tried a rpm called "Bonnie" but that only writes the throughput for the system.
Thanks

I'm aware that there are no Bluray players for Linux but I'm wondering if it's possible to play Full 3D HD (1080p, Side-By-Side) MKV files (or Bluray BDMV folders, etc).
Full 3D HD files are actually two 1080p frames "side-by-side" so the effective resolution is 3840x1200. In order to play these properly the software needs to switch to TV into 3D mode (or however HDMI 1.4a works).
I don't think simply playing the 3840x1200 resolution file will work so are there any options out there?
Hello!
Does anyone has experience with this device under Linux?
On which level of abstraction is the Wacom Bamboo tablet supported?
Is the device input just translated to mouse input, so that every application
can profit from it?
Or do I need special (design|paint|...)-software which explicitely supports this device?
What am I missing here, this seems so simple yet I cant get it to work.
I have a directory with files like AGPNDRAH01.jpg
I want a directory with files like AGPNDRAH01_00.jpg
rename 's/(\w+).jpg\$1\_00.jpg$//' *
Doesnt, work. Centos linux. Makes no sense to me why this isnt working.
Hi I have web server on it also. I had made simple bash script using vi editor..which will open file and then add some lines into it at last it will save automatically...and after that 2-3 linux command will be run as a specific user.
Now I want to do the same from web browser...so what I need to do for this?
html?perl?python?cgi?....?which is easy way to do the same?
I would like to find an FTP client for linux (preferably GTK, but if it's for KDE and does what I need, then I'm fine with it) with very good synchronization features. What I want to use this for for is synchronization of local websites to their online production versions. I know there are command line tools, which works fine, but I'm looking for a GUI roughly like Total Commander has.
I'm currently struggling which SIP client software to use with respect to Ubuntu / Gnome.
Some clients I've looked so far:
Blink, seems promising but the Linux variant lacks a lot of features
Twinkle Latest release is ~2 years old. AFAIK the only one capable of encrypting calls using zrtp.
Empathy: default tool for IM on ubuntu
Ekiga
Some features I'd like to see:
availablity of buddies
conference calls
call log
chat
desktop sharing (Blink seems to do that for Mac)
So my question is: what client software do you prefer and for what reason?
I would like to host both Tomcat and PHP on port 80 on Linux and I have 2 IP addresses available.
I am only using PHP so that I can host some mailing list software, I can map it to newsletter.mydomain.com. So my question is, is it possible to run Tomcat on port 80 on 1 IP address and Apache on port 80 on another IP address?
I'm getting a Lenovo T520 with two graphics cards:
Integrated Intel HD 3000
Discrete NVidia NVS 4200M
In BIOS, I can adjust which card(s) to use:
Integrated only
Discrete only
Both (NVidia optimus)
Since optimus is not well supported under Linux, I wonder if it is OK to set up the system to use the NVidia card all the time.
I have read somewhere that a laptop risks overheating if using a discrete graphics card all the time.
Is this true? Does someone have any experience to share?
I am rather new to linux, but I have installed a few different flavors. I noticed they all have similar folder names in the root directory
bin
boot
dev
etc
home
lib
lost+found
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
sbin
selinux
srv
sys
tmp
usr
var
I googled around, but couldn't find anywhere that explained the purpose of each of these. I understand a couple, but could anyone point me somewhere or give a quick breakdown of the common ones.
I'm in a process of renewing/expanding my disk sets, but not quite sure what kind of disks to get, cache-wise.
What difference does disk cache amount of 16/32/64MB do, in capacities of, say, 1/1.5/2TB SATA disks? The disks will be used in a webapp server and in a media workstation, with Linux's softraid in raid-1/raid-5 configurations. Note, that as both purposes are purely for a hobby, the pricetag for a dozen of disks is a big issue.
Can you provide a link to an up-to-date tutorial for setting up Linux with 3 monitors? Specifically, I want to set up 2 different nvidia video cards with 3 monitors. I can already do 2 monitors on 1 video card, so I am not interested in those tutorials.
I want to automatically run a script whenever new files are copied into a particular directory. In other words, is there a way in Linux to "watch" a directory for changes and then run something in response to the change?
The subject kinda tells it all... I'm looking for a Linux distro that fits onto a 128MB flash drive, can boot from it, and run a Remote Desktop client that I use to connect to a Windows PC.
Is there something out there that fits the bill out-of-the-box, or do I have to make one myself?
I'm emerging udev and it complains it couldn't find the kernel sources under /usr/src/linux (there's nothing inside /usr/src/ indeed). As a result, it tries to take the version from the currently running kernel and messes up thinking it's an older version than what it needs (when it actually isn't).
So where are the sources so that I can properly link to them? And could I have done something wrong for them not to be in the right place?
I am looking for Windows based backup software with functionality like Zmanda or other multi-platform network backup software program. Open source or free software is always preferred.
We need to be able to backup files from linux and windows servers as well as MySQL databases. Using samba is completely possible. Software needs to run on Windows Server 2003.
I try to install a small audio player named "Audacious" with the following command:
sudo apt-get install audacious
and it tells me that it depends audacious-plugins,
so I try to install the audacious-plugins,
one thing leads to another, there're numerous depends and it is just impossible to install all of them manually...
Is it even possible to install a software on ubuntu linux?
Is there a way to auto install all the depends?
(I have never seen such a stupid software manager.)
Many thanks.
We are in the process of switching from the C# Guid.NewGuid() random-ish guid generator to the sequential guid algorithm suggested in this post. While this seems to work well for MS SQL Server, I am unsure about the implications for Oracle databases, in which we store guids in a raw(16) field. Does anyone have any insight as to whether this algorithm would be good for creating sequential guids for Oracle as well as for MS SQL Server, or if a different variant should be used.
Thanks!
Okay, kind of a weird question but let's say I'm running a long-running batch script in a terminal window and I close that terminal window.
Is it possible, in any way, to ssh back into that server and run a command that pops you back into that process, so you can see it running again?
This is on linux (Redhat).
Thanks
The LiNUX RHEL5 Workstation Z400 stop answering to ping and it was no more possible to connect to it, even on the local console; The workstation was not reachable in anay way.
The only method I found is to restart the station (switch off, switch on) and after that everything works fine
Have somebody an idea on what can have happened
I don't see explanation of this in the /var/log/messages
Some more informations:
Placement/routing of a FPGA was running
I'm not asking how to find out where a bottleneck is. I just what to know how to check if the harddrive is being used at its limit (and hence causing a bottleneck).
Something like top where I can see a usage percentage of CPU and RAM.
Is there something like that with which I can monitor harddrive activity?
Native linux tools preferred.
Since Dream Linux has built in support for Ruby, I'm assuming it will work well as a Rails development environment, but I'm wondering if Ruby Version Manager will interfere with the system version of Ruby.
Generally, when I use RVM, I disable/ignore the system version. How will the Dream Linux OS system scripts that are written in Ruby react to the presence of RVM? If I can't use RVM on Dream Linux, how easy is it to upgrade to newer versions of Ruby, without frazzling the system?
