Hi, I saw a post you made on a forum quite some time ago about booting linux off a USB drive with compatible bios via ISOlinux. I'm currently trying to do the same thing and keep running into problems with my initrd. This is probably caused by the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing! I was wondering if you found any useful info on the net you could point me in the

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

I am having a problem which with much help from this list I have gotten 90% complete. I am attempting to create a samba server which will authenticate users as a Domain member server using active directory. The question I have is how can I map a specific container which is not an OU but a CN in the active directory? Any help is appreciated. -- Jason Gerfen "My girlfriend threated to

Lately I've been finding that most versions of Syslinux no longer work in the various linux distros I use them in (primarily Mandriva 2006 and Finnix.) When I try to run binaries such as the extlinux it produces the error "bash: ./extlinux/extlinux: cannot execute binary file" which it says for each of the major binaries. As nearly as I can tell, everything but the scripts in fact.

I am having a problem while trying to download anything from a recently configured tftp boot server. Here are the configuration for the dhcpd.conf option domain-name="domain.com"; default-lease-time 900; max-lease-time 1800; ddns-update-style none; authoritative; allow bootp; allow booting; option space PXE; option PXE.mtftp-ip code 1 = ip-address; option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2

I am having a hard time getting Samba to authentication correctly against a Windows Active Directory setup. Here is a snap of the smb.conf [global] passdb backend = ldapsam security = domain password server = server1.com server2.com prefered master = No local master = no hide unreadable = yes wins support = no winbind use default

I have been ready everything I can regarding this setup but am having a problem that I am unsure of. I am unable to authenticate any user despite the following commands working: %> getent passwd <username> %> wbinfo -u %> wbinfo -g With the getent passwd I am able to see all of my UID/GID being mapped via winbdind to the rid of the domain user account. This command fails: %>

I''ve been using Xen strictly for PV for a while now, but I recently upgraded to hardware capable of HVM domUs. I''m trying to get a really basic HVM instance going so I can get my hands around making them work, in anticipation of using one to run a BSD to act as a firewall for other domUs on the machine. (I like PF.) Also, I might need run windows at some point, I suppose.

I have encountered a problem so I am posting this question to both the technical list as well as the normal user list for a solution. When I initially joined the samba box to the Win2k domain as a member server I followed the Samba 3 HOWTO and specified the OU in the Active Directory. After speaking with our boss this is not the correct OU for the users we need to authenticate. My question

Hello, when I try to put my SAMBA4 as DC from a domain controller in windows 2000 /usr/local/samba # bin/samba-tool join (WINDOWS 2000 DOMAIN).

I just updated Samba on Gentoo due to a security vulnerability and the authentication for domain accounts is now failing. Has anyone else seen this? -- Jas

I want a samba machine to be a member of the domain and authentication the users, but I do not want to use kerberos as authentication and I also want to limit or authentication users from a specific group. Examples of this? -- Jason Gerfen "My girlfriend threated to leave me if I went boarding... I will miss her." ~ DIATRIBE aka FBITKK

I just recently found that opus_multistream_encode_float is returning -1 (OPUS_BAD_ARG) with the libopus 1.1 build but works just fine with the libopus 1.0.1 and libopus 1.1-beta builds. I tried using opus_multistream_encoder_create and opus_multistream_surround_encoder_create. Tried with coupled and uncoupled quadraphonic and uncoupled stereo encodes. I'm dynamically loading the libopus

Dear subscribers: I am using the following code to read a large number of big text files: library(sqldf) tempd <- file(XXXX) tempdx <- sqldf("select * from tempd", dbname = tempfile(), file.format = list(header = T, sep="\t", row.names = F)) The problem is: all my numberical variable become factor (maybe because these columns all contain missing value). It would be

Hi. Which is the preferable method for booting multiple logical partions via syslinux ? 1. Create seperate logical (fat 32) partitons for 'each' Live CD, extracted and prepared identically via syslinux/syslinux.cfg (sdc5, sdc6,sdc7 etc.) 2. Use Grub2 to attempt to boot seperate logical partitions with the same extracted Live CD plan as above. 3. Use the chain.c32 module that

Hi there! After reading the last posting about creating a boot disk as non-root, I have a question of my own: Does anyone know a way to produce a floppy/harddisk image able to boot a DOS environment (without using windows, vmware or other tools of that kind)? Is it perhaps even possible to create larger disk images (>2.88MB)? It's no problem to get an image with a DOS filesystem, but

I have never used SYSLINUX and don't really know much about Linux either, but want to give it a try, and thought I would start by creating a bootable Linux floppy using these instructions from syslinux.doc:- ++++ CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY +++ In order to create a bootable Linux floppy using SYSLINUX, prepare a normal MS-DOS formatted floppy.

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with the process of creating bootable floppy images to be used with isolinux/memdisk. I usually do the following: label image kernel memdisk append initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to
