So I run a headless Debian server without a GUI installed and would like to burn a DVD ISO directly from this machine without sending it over my network and burning it on my laptop. The unit already has a DVDRW, but what is the best CLI-only DVD burning app?

cdrecord will do DVDs too. Use the -scanbus option to find your burner's device number, and then something like:code:

teapot posted:You can reshape raid5 arrays, so yes, this is possible. See http://scotgate.org/?p=107 for example. OK, so I've put the drive in and added it as a spare as per the first step but when I do the second step this happens root@Nostromo:/dev# mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=5 mdadm: Need to backup 1536K of critical section.. mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md0: Invalid argument Looking at the man for mdadm it says that it only supports doing raid devices for raid1 arrays and active size for raid 5. So I tell apt to update mdadm and says its fully up to date. Also I am running 2.6.17 which supposedly does support this feature. What am I doing wrong, or what should i try next ?

Crush posted:Is there a way to create a simple script that allows me to connect to an SSH session WITHOUT prompting for a password (hardcoded into the script?)? This got me thinking, is there something funny you can do with PAM to bypass the security (other than use pam_permit)? Storing account passwords in clear text is upsetting, so I would imagine there's a good way to do this just to rig the authentication itself. Maybe if the connection was coming from a specific host or something like that.

(As this wont let me edit my last post) I've updated mdadm manually up to 2.6.2 from 2.4.1 so now the man claims it can grow raid 5 arrays however I still get the same message: root@Nostromo:/home/soggy# mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=5 mdadm: Need to backup 1536K of critical section.. mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md0: Invalid argument For commedy value I try set it to what it should already be root@Nostromo:/home/soggy# mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 mdadm: /dev/md0: Cannot reshape array without increasing size (yet). And in case anyone cares this is the result of a mdadm --detail /dev//md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Fri Feb 9 19:28:20 2007 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 1172133888 (1117.83 GiB 1200.27 GB) Used Dev Size : 390711296 (372.61 GiB 400.09 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 5 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun Jun 17 13:50:47 2007 State : clean Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 5 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 1 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 128K UUID : e10e5fd1:1584c8fe:9b67c43f:1e57e7d0 Events : 0.531700 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 16 0 active sync /dev/sdb 1 8 32 1 active sync /dev/sdc 2 8 48 2 active sync /dev/sdd 3 8 0 3 active sync /dev/sda 4 8 64 - spare /dev/sde

The ensuing gangrape of the last free IRQ by graphics, sound and TV card was apparently causing the lockups

I'm sure this has been asked before but I didn't see it anywhere so I'm sorry for asking again. I'm running Ubuntu Fiesty, is there a calender app that will work with google calender and sit nicely in the panels and on the desktop? Ideally I would like it to show the week view and detailed daily view.

I have a problem running Pure-FTPD here on my home connection and having my gf connect to it (yeah she know how to use FTP  )Here's what I am running at the moment: code:I can connect to it fine from my Dreamhost account with ftp, but *NOT* with mc nor ncftp.  My gf could connect to the server put not put anything on it (some problem with passive mode apparently) Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong ? Oh don't suggest pro-ftpd I didn't get it

if you're using passive mode you need a range of ports open and forwarded to the FTP host. In pureftp it's the -p first:last option (or --passiveportrange). Something like '-p 17000:17050' (overkill port-wise, but it should definitely work). these are seperate from the normal ftp listening port, which it sounds like you've changed. hedge77 fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Jun 20, 2007 |

I'm trying to compile ndiswrapper under Fedora7. I downloaded the kernel sources as described here, and they seem to have put themselves under /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.21/linux-2.6.21 . I tried pointing make to /BUILD, /BUILD/kernel-2.6.21, and /BUILD/kernel-2.6.21/linux-2.6.21, but it still complains that it can't find the sources. Someone on linuxquestions.org reccomended I try dkms, but that has the same problem; I can't get it to find my kernel sources. I even tried moving everything to /lib/modules/($uname -r)/build, but it still won't work. Can someone tell me what make wants from me? I'm getting sick of running an ethernet cable through my house to get internet.

What is the consensus of the Linux+ cert? I know its entry level, but it seems easy enough and I'm confident I could pass if it I was to take it right now. Is it going to buy me anything at all? I have my MCDST on the Microsoft side, and close to MCSA. On the Linux side I have only expereince, but am looking at my RHCT towards the end of this year. Any thoughts on Linux+?

Sister Miyagi posted:I'm trying to compile ndiswrapper under Fedora7. I downloaded the kernel sources as described here, and they seem to have put themselves under /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.21/linux-2.6.21. Source RPMs (.src.rpm) are intended to be used to rebuild a package. You're not trying to rebuild the kernel package itself here, so you probably don't want the .src.rpm, and you don't need to be pointing anything to the RPM building area (/usr/src/redhat). Instead, what you want to do is build a separate package (ndiswrapper) against the kernel. So what you need is not the actual .src.rpm for the kernel, but instead the "kernel source" RPM, which is called "kernel-devel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.i686.rpm". If you install that, you'll get the proper kernel source and header files in /usr/src. With most other packages the -devel just contains headers (.h) and libraries (.so) so this is less confusing... but for building kernel modules you need source code so that's what's inside -devel. It's just set up differently than the source inside the .src.rpm that's meant for building the actual RPM.

This can get a little confusing, but let me try to explain... I see, thanks. I tried installing the kernel-devel package, but it says it's already installed. Where would the files I need be? Edit: Never mind, i figured it out. It was /usr/sbin/kernels/($uname -r), and I was putting 'kernel'. Thanks again for the explanation; it really helped!

Walked posted:What is the consensus of the Linux+ cert? IMHO (you asked for it), as someone who conducts interviews for linux/solaris admins I give very very very little weight to any of the current certifications for linux. People that have them tend to use the vendor provided tools that are specific to their distro and have a (in my experience) far lesser level of skill when using non-distro specific tools and techniques. That said, I'm sure that these certs are probably seen as a good thing by other employers; but I'd personally spend my time/effort reading man pages and learning how to be flexible and powerful with a minimal set of standard tools.

Or it might just give you the same message at boot time, but I guess it's worth a try. It's weird that it can load fine from the command line, but not when "libusual" triggers it.

Absolutely understood. I am looking at Linux+ from PURELY a paper perspective. I agree with you entirely as I have spent far too much of my own time reading man pages and FAQs to get to where I am. I guess it boils down to: Is it valuable enough to spend $200 and two hours to get the certification? Not whether or not the knowledge will do me any good.

Well, I went through all the trouble of getting album art and tags for most of my MP3s in iTunes, and then switched to Linux (and Amarok). I thought I made iTunes save all my tags with the old "convert id3 thag" tirck, but apparently not. Is there any way to get Amarok to read my iTunes database, or do I have to do everything over again? And does Amarok actually change the tags, or just write everything to its database?

Is there any way to get Amarok to read my iTunes database, or do I have to do everything over again? And does Amarok actually change the tags, or just write everything to its database? There are media players which do not read and use each individual file's ID3 tag? I cannot think of any conceivable reason that would be better, besides developer laziness. In any case, I installed Amarok and, (although I far prefer quodlibet), it writes all changed info to the ID3 tag, as it should.I cannot help you with iTunes, since I have not really ever used it, but there must be a way to write everything to the file tags. I doubt Amarok can read this "iTunes database", although I could be wrong. Album art is typically stored in a ./cover.jpg or similar file in the same directory as the files in the album. This works fine if you have your music in a sensible layout, and nearly all music players I have used pick up the file as cover art, but it does not seem to be the best solution technically.
