I tried fsarchiver, but it complained about being unable to mount the subject partition under /tmp/ so I gave up on that option.

Here's what I finally did:

As I said, I'm running from DVD right now, so I'm limited in my ability to install additional stuff. I need to do this using what I already have, and I want to preserve the ctime and mtime of the...

How do I go about copying the contents of a partition from one drive to another?

A few years ago, I created a bootable USB drive so I could run Cilk++ and CUDA on a borrowed machine. Since that...

Oh, thank you, that looks so much better!

I posted this same question on Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/questions/712474/metacity-tahrballed-after-upgrade). I'd be grateful if you could either...

That didn't change anything that I could see. Still no menu bar, still no status bar, and still no way out except Ctrl+Alt+F1, then shutdown -r.

I've just upgraded from Precise to Trusty, and now Metacity has no top bar, no bottom bar and no keyboard shortcuts. The mouse works, but I keep a clean desktop so there isn't anything there for me...

It took me a while to notice that every time I ran apt-get update it would launch Update Manager in the background. I tried apt-get upgrade again an hour or so later and got "0 updates available; 0...

Aha. Your first "apt-key" command didn't actually install anything - you didn't specify a keyserver.

Anyway, that was easy enough to figure out, and apt-get update exited normally, but

Okay. Done; no error messages.

What will this do (before I try it?)

apt-get update produced reams of output, ending with

As of a week or so ago, I'm having a similar problem. I had been updating from ussg.iu.edu; two days ago I got a warning notification that my package info was out of date. Update Manager told me that...

Thank you. I shall have to read that code in depth this evening, but at first blush it appears to be exactly what I want. With any luck I can mark this thread solved by the end of the week.

netstat is certainly one option. I'm really looking for library calls, though, as I eventually want to run this on a stripped-down system on an SBC so I'd prefer to avoid dealing with forking...

I'm writing a program in C that wants to measure the traffic volume on each network interface, as System Monitor does. Can someone tell me which library calls I want and where they're documented?

I'd like to set up my desktop to act as a WiFi ap for the occasional visitors I have who want 'Net access but won't (or can't) use a wired connection. The adapter I have is an Alfa AWUS036EH, which...

I'm doing something similar, that is, I have Precise installed on a 1TB Seagate Expansion portable USB drive. When I started out with this, I was using a borrowed laptop which I didn't want to muck...

Again, dad2, read the earlier responses, particularly:



This means that even though 1.0.1e contained the heartbleed vulnerability when it was first released, the package maintainers have since...

I'm running stock apt installs of apache2 and mod-php5 on Precise, and my PHP sessions (using session handler "file") aren't working. I can see the PHP session cookie, and I see a PHP session data...

Thanks, that seems to have sorted it.

Since Synaptic is merely a front-end for apt-get, can I assume the problem was with the 9.1.9 package rather than anything else?

"SPM" is the Synaptic Package Manager under the Administration menu, and as I mentioned in the original post, sudo service postgresql start does not appear to do anything. I have a script named...

I've installed PostgreSQL 9.1 on Precise using SPM. I can manage the daemon using pg_ctl, log in, create databases etc. etc., but I would like to have it start automatically and it doesn't. sudo...

I forgot to mention that both machines are DHCP. Normally I use mDNS to find them (Bonjour on the Mac, Avahi on Linux) but I have the same problem if I use bare IP addresses.
