[SOLVED] zenity list, inconsistent behavior
I've got a block of code to display disk partitions in a zenity window. It works, but it displays the partitions out of order.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# test a zenity window
part=$(find /dev...
You can install software while you're running a live cd. It won't persist after a reboot, but you should be able to test it. (I'm pretty sure I've done that with Skype for a friend.)
Before you...
Use the command, 'crontab -e' to edit your crontab. It should look something like this, and there has to be a blank line at the end of the file:
# m h dom m dow command

The basic method that ciscosurfer described should work for you. If all your files in /home are on a separate partition, then that partition should be mounted at /home in only one of the operating...
Put your project folder in /var/www and browse to http://localhost/projectfolder
Take a look at /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.
Got it!
I just tried adding the script to /etc/cron.hourly and restarted cron, and it works that way.
Or, if you want to run it as a crontab, add a line to export root's PATH. I don't know if...
sudo apt-get install planetpenguin-racer
Well, I'm no script wizard, so I don't know if I can help. I played with it, and I can confirm that it works fine from command line, but as a root crontab, the IP number doesn't get copied to the...
Two thoughts:
I think you need to use the full path to the files in the script.
Make sure you have a blank line at the end of your crontab.
From man crontab:

You have the same UUID for (hd1,0) and (hd2,0). That's probably not what you want. Use the blkid command to get the right UUID, or else change it to 'root=/dev/sdc1'. Check /boot/grub/device.map, and...
I didn't mention anything about LVM (because I've never used it) or encryption, because I haven't tried that yet. I might get brave and try it on a production system that's using encryption. Right...
I couldn't find instructions for this, either, but it's something I've thought about doing it. Here's how I did it.
Make sure you know what your drives are called.
'sudo fdisk -l'
In this...
You'll probably want to use photorec. Take a look at this -

It didn't go anywhere. Hard drive manufacturers like to think that a megabyte is 10 to the third power, but your operating system uses 2 to the 10th (1024).
You don't like lynx? It's way faster than firefox.
If you're getting a graphical login screen, then gdm is running. If you're logging into a console, try running 'startx' to see if you get to a...
This probably won't help much, but recently, I've gotten the same Nautilus error message in debian lenny. The only real problem I've noticed is that I can't rename a file in Nautilus, but I can do it...
What I suggested is less complicated and less risky than reinstall. If you just want xp to be the default, you only need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Find the place where it says "default 0" (Hint:...
I found this in newegg customer reviews of MSI P43 Neo:
"Replaced a motherboard running Ubuntu Linux (Gutsy). Gutsy did not recognize the primary SATA controller (slots 1-6) and the bios would not...
If you can boot into ubuntu, post the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst. Generally, if ubuntu is on the master and windows is on the slave, the windows entry in...
Boot into ubuntu, and run 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda'.
Next time, tell your second distro not to install grub, and you can just add a section to your existing menu.lst for the new distro.
The device names for your hard drives are probably different in the new computer. If you're getting to a grub menu, you can type "e" to edit the kernel line or "c" to use grub commands, fix whatever...
Never mind. There's only /etc/init.d/samba, but no /etc/init.d/smbd or /etc/init.d/nmbd.
If you got there by typing 'g' and then typing in that address, drop the first part, and just type /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html
I'm under the impression that we all get this. Internal sound cards are subject to interference inside the box. If the noise is low enough volume that you don't notice it when music is playing, then...
