I figured there had to be an application out there - there is for

works like a charm. Thanks for the pointer.

Linux filesystem on RAIDs

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 09:05 AM PST

Hi Grant, it was not so bad... It's already fixed but I would like to
solve this problem definitively before I need the pizza... I've a lot
of spare disks from other servers now retired... The second option is
replace the 4 disks one by one :)

Heck, if you didn't use MD5 but only the old "crypt" style passwords, I'm
sure the NSA has something to break it. The EFF certainly showed how it
could be done technically with a lot of parallel computing.

But seriously: boot into "single user" mode by selecting it at boot time. Do
you need help doing that?

Linux problem with switch

Posted: 05 Mar 2006 09:39 PM PST

I had a similar problem, not with a wireless, but with a 5 button
wheel mouse. For me, I had the problem both directions with Linux and
XP, both would go crazy with the mouse at times. I am also using a
Belkin ps/2 kvm. I found that things work relatively well, if when
booting a system, I leave the kvm pointed to that system until the
boot is complete. After that I can switch between systems without
problems. It may be superstition, but it seems to work for me.

I only have time to give you a hint for using grub right now, but perhaps
an expansion on the idea presented here:

I suggest you incorporate those URLs, and a short discourse on

Try again - also read, read, read ....browse the usenet NGs - read the
threads/posts - Boot to LiveCD (Try Knoppix 4.0.2 - Excellent Auto
Hardware detection and Config) and note Linux has Great documentation
(perhaps some is a bit stagnant) and much is located right on the CDROM
(LiveCD, or HDD install - in;
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/...
(i.e., /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-html/Kodak-Digitalcam-HOWTO/x2089.html)

It's documentation is InDepth and precise - not trying to HIDE
information from you like Proprietary OSes do.

I'm sure it took some time to learn all those little workarounds for
windblows -- and how to be semi-secure, by stripping atleast half the
OS.....I'm new to linux myself - and it can be quite frustrating, yet
I'm sticking in there, and relearning everything I taught myself
previously in order to use Windoze effectively/safely. -- Ease yourself
into Linux over time if you must - and note; bad habits learned die
hard ;-)

Excellent summary from Moe Trin
(I knew 'most' of what he describes - but I could never summarize it
and clarify it that simply ;)....plus I learned a little too)

Installing Linux on a Windows dual boot system

Posted: 04 Mar 2006 06:55 PM PST

com wrote: 

That depends. I presume when you boot XP now, the XP loader shows two
menu choices, and you select one of those to boot. After you insall
Linux, you will now get a new boot loader than runs (chainloads) your
original boot loader when you tell it you wish to boot XP (see below).
The normal way that operates, is that you boot and the Linux loader
(grub or lilo) brings up a menu which allows you to chose between
booting Linux or XP. If you choose Linux, it just boots. If, however,
you choose XP, the XP loader is invoked and it offers the choice of
which XP partition to invoke.

If you have XP loaders (NTLDR) on both of your XP partitions, you can
configure the Linux loader to directly boot either XP partition
without XP asking which partition to boot.

You can also use a third party tool, such as System Commander to make
the selection. That's actually what I do. Then, if you want, you can
make a selection in system commander that boots directly to one of the
OSes. Or you can boot to the OS with a menu that allows you to change
your choice. For example, when I boot from System Commander into an
XP partition, it brings up the XP boot loader menu for that partition.
Now, I have the partition default to booting up the partition I
selected after a timeout, but I still get a 2nd chance to say, oh no,
I meant to boot a different partition and use the menu to change it.

below: When you install Linux and have it install a boot loader, it
should ask you some questions as part of the installation process,
that allow you to tell the loader which partitions you wish to be able
to boot. That selection process fills out an ASCII text file (similar
in concept to boot.ini under Windows, but having it's own format),
that the loader reads in to display its menu. You can later modify
the file to add or remove partitions if the list isn't the way you
like, just as you can boot.ini.

Hope this helps,
-Chris

Recompiling Linux Kernel

Posted: 04 Mar 2006 10:25 AM PST

kermit wrote: 

Umm. If your kernel has loadable modules (and that is the de facto standard
for contemporary kernels), the old standard behavior for "make install" was
to install the kernel itself, not most of the modules may not be installed
by it. I'd really have to go take apart the strange Makefile structure to
get into details, but I found "make modules_install" to be a fairly
necessary followup step.

It's why I preferred "make rpm", which built up the images for me and would
also report if I forgot to rename the new kernel and tried to put it on top
of an old one with the same name (a source of endless trouble for new kernel
builders).
 

Linux Install Problem (No bootable CD or other device)

True. The usual way to do it would be with local control of a DHCP server
and a PXE setup, to do a network based installation. But you should tell us
if you have control of another machine to do the installation *from*.

You'd have to explain a bit more clearly what you mean.
Do you mean you don't see any writing on the screen at all?
Or do you get to the boot prompt?
If so try answering "linux text" or "linux 3".

ldd and library dependency

Read the man pages of 'ld.so', 'ldconfig' and 'objdump'.

There is a certain order in which paths are searched for libraries, it's
all in 'man ld.so'.

Look for an RPATH entry with objdump.

It is also helpful to run the program with 'strace program' and
see the order in which shared libraries are searched.

This should get you on the way,
