So, you're not using NTP... Rather, you're just using the Guest Additions (and guest additions parameters) to keep time synchronized, right?
It's a good method, for VMs.

Wow, that's ballsy. :) I'm glad it worked, though! Where'd you find your modified BIOS, for future reference?
Mike
I'm honestly not sure. Did you try it?

It doesn't want to change the file because apparently it's a symbolic link (or has a link to it). Try to create a NEW file with the following:
gzip -c file > newfile.gz
Alternatively, you can...
Oh, that's a good idea.
What bad luck! I'm not sure of any easy way to hack around this (there MAY be, but I'd be reluctant to start changing the files they provide). Good luck when the new...
You're welcome. :)
Oh, okay! I think we can fix that problem.
/dev/sdb is the identifier for the device (the whole drive), /dev/sdb1 is the identifier for the partition. In these...
I believe that "USB HDD" is the same as any USB device with a bootable filesystem. So it could be either.
We unmount the USB drive, because "dd" is copying a new filesystem and files to the...
Oh, that's because it's FAT16. Try with -t vfat, like so:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
I think that it still should have done it right, it's just whining.
Yeah, that's a very...
Hi rocksockdoc,
That's quite a detailed description! So, going through:
That sounds reasonable to me.
You can also use TWO "&&" characters between the commands. Each approach has subtle differences, though.
(1) Using & characters will execute all commands IN PARALLEL, so if you want the commands...
DDD's going to operate on the program dynamically (i.e. with real program inputs).
If you're more interested in the dynamic behavior of a program, rather than the static properties of the code,...
Sort of... It's now (and very recently) become legal to circumvent the protection “solely in order to accomplish the incorporation of short portions of motion pictures into new works for the purpose...
That's true. This tutorial is pretty much no longer needed, or at the very least deprecated. I will update it soon so that it doesn't mislead any newcomers.
Thanks,

Well, I'm not sure what the problem is. However, if you want to try turning off ACPI, I can tell you how to do that (at least under Grub, I'm not sure if it's changed recently for Grub2).
You're...
Wow, that's quite a jump... I'm glad it worked for you!
Thanks for the info!
Mike
Your memory looks fine! That's certainly not an issue at this point.
Mike
Yes and no... Of course, over time your system will accrue junk -- log files will grow to unmanageable sizes, you'll accumulate a long list of kernel revisions in /boot, you may install thousands...
What kind of filesystem is on it? If you want to avoid running out of space again, you could always expand your /boot partition. Most filesystems are growable, and many new ones are shrinkable.

What are you using awk for? I have no experience with any of the books, but you mostly see awk used in conjunction with sed... I saw some books on Amazon which acknowledge this loose coupling and...
IF you know that the machine you're going after has definitely changed its SSH keys, or you're just a naturally trusting person, then delete its line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
Heck, you can delete...
Some sort of tunnelling would be more of a direct solution: you connect all of the wifi devices to Hilton's Wifi network, use SSH/DNS tunneling to send their traffic through an external computer,...
To be perfectly clear, you have a free hardwired connection, connected to a laptop (running Ubuntu) with a wireless NIC. You want to be able to share the free connection with OTHER wireless enabled...
Your post had too many words for me to read right now, and it looks like somebody answered it anyway. I just wanted to chime in the unwanted tidbit that FFTW is made of C code autogenerated by an...
Well, it's hard to get an answer that will apply uniformly to EVERYBODY, but I've found that heavily accessed disks start failing at 1-3 years.
For normal usage, I'd say probably 5-?, but it's...
I guess that depends on how much DATA you're planning on having, and how much GAME STUFF you're planning on having.
Hard drives have a fairly limited lifespan (1-5 years, probably 3 average if you...
