SnatchRabbit posted:Not really trying to do anything, was just curious which other big name software apps don't support Linux, as you mentioned iTunes and Photoshop being iffy. Any others of note? Unless explicitly stated, there are NO Windows applications that are supported on Linux. If you can deal with the various alternatives that are available on other OSes for Windows applications, by all means use them. But for the love of god if you need to run specific Windows programs, just run Windows. As far as Wine has come (and it has come a LONG and impressive way), new Linux users trying to get Windows applications working fully and properly on Linux almost always ends in pain and frustration and is just not worth the effort.

Big Big Moon posted:1. What does it mean to mount a filesystem? 1. Mounting takes a device and establishes a layer upon which you can read and write to it, usually in the form of a directory. 2. Uh... one that hasn't been mounted. 3. For the same reason you can't unplug a hard drive while the computer is running and expect the OS to continue functioning. 4. It doesn't. Why would it need to? 5. For your purposes a virtual terminal is the text console. That's all you really need to know. I could get into a long discussion about how it's serial console emulation but I won't, and it's unimportant. 6. Essentially RAM on disk. 7. Two different software packages that do the same thing with different feature sets. You know you could have answered every single one of these questions with five minutes on Google.

indigoe posted:My server suddenly decided to die. When I tried to log in it kept saying access denied, so I rebooted only to be faced with a message informing me that the inittab file was not found. So now I would like to recover some data (web and mysql stuff) before installing ubuntu on it but right now I only have a fedora 7 disk on hand (downloading ubuntu right now). I got into the shell but it won't let me mount /dev/sda2 because /etc/fstab was not found. What? No. The only thing /etc/fstab does is tell the system how and where things should be mounted if you don't tell it. The fact that you're getting this error means all you're doing is typing 'mount /dev/sda2' by itself. Where do you expect it to be mounted? Type 'mount /dev/sda2 /mnt' and feel the magic.

No that's not necessarily bad, that just means it wasn't automatically set up. Run these in the following order: 1. mkdir /mnt/recover 2. lvm vgchange VolGroup00 -a y 3. mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/recover Then check in /mnt/recover and see what's going on.

indigoe posted:Yes! That did the trick. Now, I was told that probably the /etc directory got wiped, but as far as I can tell it's still there. So at this point I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't know what to tell you there, but the entire drive should now be in /mnt/recover so you can get the stuff you need. Your initial post says you needed to get mysql and web stuff. While the web data location can vary based on server setup (It's /var/www/ on my systems), your database(s) should be in /mnt/recover/var/lib/mysql.

The files passwd and passwd- should be identical or close to it. I can't say for sure where passwd.OLD came from. indigoe posted:Yes, I can access the whole contents of the drive. But I would also like to find out what happened and why I have these unknown passwd files, and it would be nice if I could recover inittab somehow. If inittab is still around it'll be in /etc but you can use find to see if there are any other instances of it lying around. As for what happened, I guess you can poke around in /mnt/recover/var/log but all you said originally was that the server "died" without much detail, so I can't offer much more than that.

Magicmat posted:Quick question, I'm trying to make, by hand, the package open-vmware-tools on Ubuntu. During ./configure it complained about not finding the library liburiparser, so I used synaptic to install liburiparser-dev (which also pulled in liburiparser itself.) However, ./configure still complains about not finding it. The library is installed in /usr/lib/liburiparser.so, which seems fairly standard, and the headers are in /usr/include/uriparser/. I assume it's not finding the headers? Here's the exact error I get: The problem here isn't necessarily that it can't find the library. The problem is that it can't find the specific uriFreeQueryListA function in the library. What version of uriparser did you install? EDIT: Magicmat posted:OK, I think I have it figured out. I had to manually install a newer version of uriparser than was included with Ubuntu, and use the --includedir command above. Now it's complaining about other packages, but at least we're making progress. Ding. Accipiter fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Sep 5, 2008 |
