Dear All I have a PCBSD machine with /media shared using samba. Any microsoft clients can successfully connect to /media and browse directories I have created there. When I plug in a usb device, I mount it into /media eg: one labelled "PENDRIVE" becomes /media/PENDRIVE Some clients can successfully read /media/PENDRIVE, others cannot. Although the clients that cannot view the

Since repeated power cuts last week I've been a bit worried about the state of my server. Today it spontaneously rebooted - but failed to complete. Now it isn't recognising me as a user, by the look of it, so I've got some questions before I do something that might make things worse. I can boot as root, and it appears that all my files are present. System-config-user sees me as user

I've got two pendrives. I want to install a Debian on them. RAID1. Ok... ... After I installed it in RAID1, it works perfectly, ok! :) When I pull out one of the pendrive [good pendrive], it still boots up, hurrah :) But: ... When I pull out the other pendrive [i plug in the first one i tried] it say's: GRUB hard disk error What can I do? I already tried: grub-install /dev/sdc

Hello! I just started using Linux and I like the possibilities it offers. I'm using Suse Linux (no MS Windows installed at all). I also discovered that syslinux is capable of making a USB pendrive bootable (with graphic menus). This is very nice. Since I'm a Windows user (up until now), I have some questions: 1 - I already downloaded syslinux 3.82 How do I install it on my pen drive

Dear, "Xenoppix-x86-64(Xen3.0.2+KNOPPIX-x86_64-5.0.1) CD size" is released. http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/index-en.html Xenoppix-x86-64 exploits latest CPU (Intel Core2 Duo and AMD Athlon64). * Xenoppix-x86-64 boots both X86 and X86_64 linux kernel on HVM of Xen. * Xenoppix-x86-64 looks like KNOPPIX but all packages are replaced for X86_64. * Xenoppix-x86-64 also

My LAN is behind a Netgear router, which does NAT. On the CentOS server I have fail2ban running. This morning my router reported 3 different IPs attempting to send UDP packets to port 38950, Since each address is only seen 4-5 times, I presume that fail2ban took over after that. GRC reports that ports are stealthed (port 143 was open, but is now closed), but then: Unsolicited Packets:

Hi, i'm trying to create an ubuntu live-pendrive using this tutorial http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/12/usb-ubuntu-tutorial-for-linux-users/ I have a 2GB USB Pendrive.

Hi guys, I have my driverdisk created and the files are on a USB pendrive. How do I make the USB pendrive /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda??? I am wanting the installation to take place on sda and the driver disk to be sdb? My driver disk is a network driver disk, r8168. Jerry

Hi! I installed Debian in a pendrive and I used extlinux. I need a boot for multiples machines. When I use the config file below, my pendrive works fine: DEFAULT linux LABEL linux KERNEL ../vmlinuz APPEND ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd=../initrd But I need a boot for any machine. Then, I tried it: APPEND ro initrd=../initrd but the boot stops after discover the correct location of the root

Installing R on Knoppix Knoppix is a small LINUX distribution (http://www.knoppix.net/) runnable from a CD (without an installation) It can be also installed on a hard drive from a single CD. The idea was to reuse an old laptop with 6gb hard drive and 128mb memory. I had few days experience with Linux and few years experience with R. The latter was not required :-) The Knoppix installation

Hello! I'm posting some experiences with GRUB0/1 + sys/extlinux + MBR/GPT in a pendrive with 15 partitions. This could be helpful improving sys/extlinux. I did make a bootable pendrive with 14 distros using a GPT partition table and a tricky solution to let sys/extlinux boot from every partition chainloaded from GRUB (GRUB0 or GRUB1). Having a MBR schema, sys/extlinux can't be

Hi to all rsync users. rsync's `--delete' option works fine in the following example: I'm sending all the content of /home/rodolfo from machine1 to /home/rodolfo in machine2: $ rsync --dry-run -vrtul --delete --exclude='/.*' . 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo , and --delete works perfectly. Instead, in this other example: $ rsync --dry-run -vrt --delete --modify-window=1 file1

I've got a bootable USB pendrive with Syslinux 3.72, and while it usually works, there are a few computers, where I get the syslinux prompt, but it neither loads the configuration file, nor I'm able to boot anything. The only message I get on screen (apart from boot:) is "Could not find kernel image: linux". The configuration (and kernels) are in syslinux directory, but even

Precis: I?m trying to debug a problem with CentOS7 failing to install from an ISO written to a USB pendrive ? anyone got suggestions? What works ? installing on a modern, ?standard PC?; the pendrive image boots and installs as I expect What does not work ? same pendrive booting in an ATCA blade. What I?ve tried is? 1. Boot the standard CentOS7 minimal image. This seems to start but then

Hi, Everybody. I have tried to update Portable Firefox to the last version (v. 9) at home, in order I could get the latest one to use also at Office (where I don't have Administrator rights, neither can install Firefox 'natively'...); however, after reinstalling Wine 32 in my personal machine (running Mageia), Wine doesn't recognize the USB Pendrive ans 'writeable', then

I originally set up this monitor with an analogue lead. Everything seemed fine, so I didn't check xorg.conf at all. Then I bought a digital lead, and since then the monitor blinks. Running system-config-display identifies it as a 1280 x 1084 CRT monitor. It is an LCD monitor. That model is not on the drop-down list, so assuming that a specific driver wasn't available for it, I

Just in case anyone cares or is hitting the same problem: to install current mgcv (1.0-5) on 1.9.0 on Knoppix/Debian unstable I had to: # cd /usr/lib # ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.3 libblas-3.so # ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 liblapack-3.so Otherwise compilation couldn't find -lblas-3 or -llapack-3 (I could have gotten away with the links in /usr/lib/atlas instead of /usr/lib,
