Okay, thanks; understood (so if one copy gets 'corrupted', the other will too and that's why the need to have a known working backup)

I am hoping someone will throw light on the 2nd query as...

1. How is RAID1 different from a backup copy updated constantly? I am asking this in the context of various comments I encountered in different forums by people saying that RAID is not backup and...

I had two disks with dedicated data partitions which were kept in sync using periodic rsync (not RAID). One of the disks failed. I bought a new disk and decided to switch to RAID1 instead of using...

I would have done that compromise (actually wanted to use the SATA RAID option, not AHCI, but the computer fails with RAID too, same/similar error), except for the fact that with IDE, the computer...

Made some progress. It could be the SATA controller. The SATA controller has 3 modes: AHCI, IDE and RAID. For modes other than IDE, Ubuntu boot-up fails with kernel panic when memory remapping is...

Added isc-dhcp-relay, now getting DHCP allocations, but contrary to what I thought, that does not result in success in getting internet connectivity from the guest! However, isc-dhcp-relay and...

ATI Radeon HD 5450.

Time to switch back to Ubuntu default non-proprietary driver?

[update] Uninstalled proprietary ATI fglrx driver to no avail. The problems remain. If I set the memory...

This is about VMs created using VirtualBox and libvirtd (virtual-machine-manager)

I have wireless wlan0 interface bonded to wired eth0 interface. wlan0 interface is the active interface - the...

The output is as expected:

check-my-hardware.py - version: SJ 2012-06-03
OK, you're root
ANALYSIS:
Total of physical memory modules found 6144 MB in 2 memory module(s)
BIOS offers 3318 MB as...

How to configure the bonding to work with wireless roaming as well?

wpa_action is used to control roaming with list of networks defined in the wpa_supplicant configuration file. wlan0 interface...

Update: Since switching to Ubuntu Studio, I no longer have the problem of unstable (frozen) shutdowns: well, either switching to Ubuntu Studio OR not using ifplugd anymore did that.

I shall try your script later tonight.

memtest offers so many options! it ran fine with the default options selected and remapping enabled in BIOS. But it fails when I select some of the options...

I know this is way too old and you would have arrived at a few ways of achieving this, but the simplest thing which comes to mind is: if libvirt is expecting a bridge interface, well create one in...

I installed 64-bit because 32-bit OS was not using the full 6 GB...(the latest ubuntu 12.04 that is). Specifically, I used ubuntu business remix 12.04 32-bit.

Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu all...

I have total 6 GB of RAM installed.

Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit flavours refuse to install with a kernel panic indicating hardware failure if I enable memory remap in BIOS (which led me to change the...

Is it useless to have both bond0 and ifplugd running simultaneously since, in the configuration above, both end up doing the same thing anyway. Could having both be the reason for the instability at...

I have a host folder containing photos shared across to my guest vm configured using libvirt (virt-manager).

I mount this in the guest with file-type 9p. The share mounts okay and some of the...

Is it possible to let the configuration reside in /etc/network/interfaces, but then use some sort of GUI indicator to show the network status?

I am not sure if Network Manager can deal with...

I have bonding set up with wlan0 and eth0 as members. This works okay in the sense that I can connect to the internet successfully.

I now wish to setup VirtualBox VM such that internet...

I have bonded wireless and ethernet together in fallback mode, so that only one IP address is used for both (so my port-forwards from router to a given IP address continue to work irrespective of...

Using tail -f file | less displays ^A character for the hex 01, correction to the above.

I don't know; sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't (update the display as the log gets updated); I don't...

I am using tail to view a log which gets updated in real-time


It is a file, but I want to use tail -f so I can see updates happening in real-time - the main purpose is to view live log. Using...

I am trying to view a file which contains non-printable characters, those characters are shown in gnome-terminal as hex sequences, but are rendered on top of existing ascii characters, so the ascii...

Why is there no direct upgrade path from 10.04 to 11.04 when all x.04 releases are LTS and /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades allows you to specify a prompt=lts?

I cannot figure out why one...

Yes (to the original question of this post) - yes, I won't like the banner ads.
