Hmmm. Lubuntu 14.04 says it wants 3GB of disk space.

What about Lubuntu 10.04 or something older? 8.10, 9.04? Someone hinted to me that the newer Linux kernels probably won't have support for the...

So I procured a thin client for free recently.

It has a CompactFlash card slot inside. Max it takes is 4GB...

I ended up using TestDisk to make the Linux partition a primary bootable one, then used a Live CD to rebuild GRUB.

This laptop is mostly used for odd stuff, so aside from some Nook Android ...

I can't detect the Windows partitions. The Linux and swap partitions, as shown earlier, are.

There is some data in the Linux system I could really use, mainly some backup images and some stuff in...

I show the following partitions in TestDisk:



Partition Start End Size in sectors
* FAT32 0 0 33 8 40 32 ...

I figured it would happen eventually, and today I did so.

Went to write a disk image (~80MB image) to a micro-SD card, but I put in by mistake, /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb.

It copied about...

Hi,

I'm looking to create a persisent share directory, but I'm not sure what "path" is safe from unintended consequences and is persisent, meaning if I reboot or shutdown then it'll still be...

I have commmand here for creating a 10MB blank file:

dd if=/dev/zero of=~/10MB.dsk count=20480

The count feature as I am told, works in 512K blocks. But how come it's in multiples of 2048,...

The first thing I found out in 9.10 was that it did as you said, rcp is just a symbolic link to scp. So it doesn't work.

But the question still stands: does rcp use telnet login? rlogin method?...

I'm trying to figure out the requirements for rcp. Does it lean on telnet login? rlogin? rsh? Or is it a self-contained shell program? Is it a NFS client?

I'm aware of the vulnerability of...

Well, I'll post what I've found, and what I believe is correct.

Compiled from source programs don't need the line: only ones that are installed via something like APT, using sudo apt-get install...

I take it then, it's optional...

Hi,

I am compiling some software from source. Specifically, Netatalk. Also, I'll probably have to compile Engima from source.

Do I need this line after I have run the sudo make and sudo make...

You say you loaded it to a flash drive, perhaps you could describe what version it was? 12.04? 12.10? 13.04? ...?

I will assume the keyboard works on another computer? Mouse available?

Perhaps...

@ Sector11

The regular line vnstat -i eth0+wlan0 -m works now. Perhaps I failed to communicate that in the post. =)

So I got my system updated to 2.6.32-58 recently, and I was hoping that would fix the problem. I didn't know what else got updated along the way but here's the log (command: gedit...

Even if I had gone full-tilt towards Linux and left OS X in the dust, I'd still have it on reserve, even it was a simple 30GiB volume of a 250GiB drive.

Then again, this is coming from somebody...

Seconded on the live CDs and the dual-booting. Or, VMs.

There are at least a hundred different types of Linux but you'll want to stick to the main types. Distrowatch has the most popular ones.

It's not unusual at all.

The .iso is issued at a certain time, and then afterwards updates trickle down the pipe. After some time, a large number of the install .iso packages are out of date.

I wish they had outgoing packet protection like LittleSnitch. I know you can do it with some esoteric configuration of iptables but that's an Advanced User exercise.

As for viruses and malware, I...

Good.

I'll show you what mine looks like. Generally I like to think it's a good idea to obscure hardware MAC address (the last two is sufficient to keep though) and external IPs. It's all very...

Please pull up a Terminal command line and type

ifconfig

You can also paste the results of

iwconfig

Use Control + Shift + C to copy text outside of the terminal.

Your attachment isn't working, but seeing that you mentioned punch cards, I once saw some kind of book thingaling for coding a IBM System/360 in assembly or machine code. (I think it was the Coding...

Yeah, I was poking around small distros last year and came across two likely candidates: PuppyLinux and DSL.

I think you are right from memory that DSL does have a conky script by default.

You know, that's really interesting that you say that, because I have a goal to sometime work out a basic Linux install that has what I need (I don't use much, I could do it all on 8GiB if I wanted...
