Depsolving for php-pecl-zip

I'm having trouble getting rid of my depsolving errors, and I've been left to figure this one out on my own. It all started when I wanted to upgrade from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3 (heaven forbid), and I was told that we have all kinds of dependency mess because we have multiple PHP packages, and no one else is using it, so if I wanted it, I'd have to do it myself. I managed to figure out how to get PHP 5.3 installed, but only by removing all previous versions of PHP and doing a fresh install. Now "my" (someone departed's) code is relying on PHPExcel, which relies on php-pecl-zip, which I apparently don't have. Here's some of what I've tried: **Install with PECL**               # pecl install zip        No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/zip"       install failed      Pretty sure this is because our machines have very strict rules about who they can talk to. So I can't access the package via PECL. **Install with YUM**               # yum install php-pecl-zip     Dependencies Resolved          ================================================================================      Package             Arch          Version                 Repository      Size     ================================================================================     Installing:      php-pecl-zip        x86_64        1.8.10-2.el5            epel            47 k     Installing for dependencies:      php-common          x86_64        5.1.6-24.el5_4.5        updates        152 k      Why does it want a PHP version 5.1 when I have 5.3?   Of course, if I let it go, it barfs:               Transaction Check Error:       file /etc/php.ini from install of php-common-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-5.3.24-7.x86_64      And just to verify:               # yum list php     Installed Packages     php.x86_64                          5.3.24-7                           installed      Can we get around it?

You'll notice we have COMPANY-codex- released repos that are in play.               # yum install php-api --skip-broken     Package php-common is obsoleted by lift-php, trying to install lift-php-5.3.24-10.x86_64 instead     Resolving Dependencies     --> Running transaction check     ---> Package lift-php.x86_64 0:5.3.24-10 set to be updated     --> Processing Conflict: lift-php conflicts php     --> Finished Dependency Resolution     lift-php-5.3.24-10.x86_64 from COMPANY-codex-released has depsolving problems       --> lift-php conflicts with php          Packages skipped because of dependency problems:         lift-php-5.3.24-10.x86_64 from COMPANY-codex-released      Exclude lift-php?               # yum install php-api --exclude=lift-php     ================================================================================      Package           Arch          Version                   Repository      Size     ================================================================================     Installing:      php-common        x86_64        5.1.6-24.el5_4.5          updates        152 k      No. So I think YUM is in a dependency loop. I also did some silly stuff installing a new EPEL repo, but then yum couldn't resolve any mirrors, so I had to uninstall it. I'm not sure those were symmetric actions, either. The first time I did this I also had to do `yum install autoconf` **Install downloaded file with PEAR**   So I went to http://pecl.php.net/package/zip and got a download, scp'd it up to my machine.               # pear install -O /home/produser/zip-1.12.4.tgz      PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20090626/php_zip.dll' - /usr/lib/php/20090626/php_zip.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0     96 source files, building     running: phpize     Configuring for:     PHP Api Version:         20090626     Zend Module Api No:      20090626     Zend Extension Api No:   220090626     building in /var/tmp/pear-build-rootZ3jpba/zip-1.12.4     running: /var/tmp/zip/configure     checking for egrep... grep -E     checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed     checking for cc... cc     checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out     checking whether the C compiler works... yes     checking whether we are cross compiling... no     checking for suffix of executables...     checking for suffix of object files... o     checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes     checking whether cc accepts -g... yes     checking for cc option to accept ANSI C... none needed     checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E     checking for icc... no     checking for suncc... no     checking whether cc understands -c and -o together... yes     checking for system library directory... lib     checking if compiler supports -R... no     checking if compiler supports -Wl,-rpath,... yes     checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu     checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu     checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu     checking for PHP prefix... /usr     checking for PHP includes... -I/usr/include/php -I/usr/include/php/main -I/usr/include/php/TSRM -I/usr/include/php/Zend -I/usr/include/php/ext -I/usr/include/php/ext/date/lib     checking for PHP extension directory... /usr/lib/php/20090626     checking for PHP installed headers prefix... /usr/include/php     checking if debug is enabled... no     checking if zts is enabled... no     checking for re2c... no     configure: WARNING: You will need re2c 0.13.4 or later if you want to regenerate PHP parsers.     checking for gawk... gawk     checking for zip archive read/writesupport... yes, shared     checking for the location of libz... no     checking pcre install prefix... no     checking libzip... no     checking for the location of zlib... configure: error: zip support requires ZLIB.

Never seen them before just now. Maybe that's a new lead. (EDIT: I think this startup error is because I went into `/etc/php.ini` and uncommented `extension=php_zip.dll`. When I comment that line back out, it goes away.)

Difference between command line argument and giving an input command

What is the difference between `@ARGV` and asking the user for input?               $num = $ARGV[0];      and               $_ = <STDIN>;      Either way a user has to put an input isn't it? How are they different?

Installing OpenMediaVault without keyboard and monitor

So I got the parts to my server delivered and assembled it. Now I have the problem that I don't have access to a monitor or keyboard and would like to install OMV to my server. I plan on running the OS from an USB stick (I know this is not recommended, but I got a SLC based stick, so it should be fine). I have a MacBook that's running OS X, could I setup the USB here and move it to the server and then just boot it there? Otherwise I guess I could use some sort of preseed file for headless installation, but I'm not well-versed in unix enviroments so I'm not sure how I should set it up. From what I gather I need to get the install iso on an USB and use that to install to another USB, is this possible to set up with a preseed file? I think OMV locks the OS drive, so ideally the stick should be split (1GB OS – 7GB Storage) so that the one half can be used for storing plugins and other stuff. On a sidenote, found this while looking for help/guides:   https://gist.github.com/ngnpope/3806732 Can I benefit from this in some way?


Usefulness of @ARGV in Perl

What is the difference between using just normal arrays and the special array (command line argument)? Normal array: `@num(1,2,3,4)`, and you can use `$num[0]`, etc Special array: you have to use `@ARGV`, and becomes `$ARGV[0]`, etc. Is it similar to `while (<>)`? What is the whole purpose of using `@ARGV` instead of a normal array?


tmux.conf: Prefix depends on whether session is remote

I'm trying to run tmux sessions inside and outside of a remote ssh session, so I want to use c-b prefix for the outer (local) session and c-a prefix inner (remote) session. My question is how can it be done with a single tmux.conf. It's easy to check with bash if the session is remote using something like `[ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]`, but I don't know how to reliably incorporate this into tmux.conf, given that `if` appears to be asynchronous and subject to race conditions.

Drive was unable to assemble into the array

I ran               mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1      Only `/dev/sdb1` was loaded into the array though. I have a few more arrays on the same two drives too. Each time the partition on `sda` failed. `dmesg` told me that `sda` was out of sync... Since this was from a rescue cd. I've disconnected `sda` (hardware wise) for the time being, since it was preventing me from booting. How should I proceed? Is this likely the cause of a borked drive? I had some weird fs issues the other day I couldn't track down (maybe a precursor): missing files that later magically re-appeared. Maybe a missing cable? The main question is how do I try to re-sync the drive?               cat /proc/mdstat     Personalities : [raid10]      md3 : active raid10 sda4[1]           955683840 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/1] [_U]          md2 : active raid10 sda3[1]           10483712 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/1] [_U]          md1 : active raid10 sda2[1]           10484736 blocks 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/1] [_U]          md0 : active raid10 sda1[1]           101376 blocks 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/1] [_U]          unused devices: <none>      _update_ I ran `badblocks` on the whole other drive, and a long `smartctl` test, it found no problems. a request output of `mdadm -D /dev/md0` _(I have md0-3 if others are needed)_               /dev/md0:             Version : 0.90       Creation Time : Mon May 31 20:24:14 2010          Raid Level : raid10          Array Size : 101376 (99.02 MiB 103.81 MB)       Used Dev Size : 101376 (99.02 MiB 103.81 MB)        Raid Devices : 2       Total Devices : 1     Preferred Minor : 0         Persistence : Superblock is persistent              Update Time : Mon Oct 25 07:58:25 2010               State : clean, degraded      Active Devices : 1     Working Devices : 1      Failed Devices : 0       Spare Devices : 0                   Layout : far=2          Chunk Size : 512K                     UUID : 30ffe1d2:f5759995:820bb796:b5530bd2 (local to host slave-iv)              Events : 0.212              Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State            0       0        0        0      removed            1       8        1        1      active sync   /dev/sda1      Since I've found no actual issues with the drive, but obviously something went wrong, I'm wondering what I should do next? _as of today a full backup of important data is in place_ _update 2_ Whenever I try to add what was `sda` back in (at least without wiping it) it screw's up my boot process with a kernel magic number error.

Setup linux cluster like Windows with CentOS or Ubuntu?

Along the lines of this MSDN article, how would you setup a pair of Ubuntu or CentOS (or RHEL) servers in a cluster so they appear to hosted applications as a single server, but will continue to work even if a node in the cluster becomes inoperable (or needs maintenance, etc)? I presume this is possible.


Cancel completion, but only completion, in zsh

When a completion function takes a long time, I can interrupt it by pressing `Ctrl`+`C` (terminal interrupt key, sends SIGINT) or `Ctrl`+`G` (bound to `send-break`). I am then left with the uncompleted word. However, if I happen to hit `Ctrl`+`C` or `Ctrl`+`G` just as the completion function finishes, my key press may cancel the command line and give me a fresh prompt instead of cancelling the completion. How can I set up zsh so that a certain key will cancel an ongoing completion but do nothing if no completion function is active?


Using 'find' for recursive search and delete

My queston is kind off a basic * nautilus at time cant do well at recursive search & related operations... I want to search files having name libre in them & then delete them... I am half done here & cant find a relaiable way to delete files especially when filenames have white spaces in them...               find -iname *libre*      this will search the files but lets say a file is 'Libre Office Word' now it has white spaces can you guide how to delete such files too?


How would I go about making this IPTABLE rule for every ip and not just one?

iptables -I PREROUTING -t nat -p udp -s 192.168.0.62 --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 23.21.182.24      Instead of 192.168.0.62 I'd like to set that as a global rule, EVERY ip that needs dns should attempt to use 23.21.182.24 first. Is it possible?


Why does skype not pick up my microphone?

I've got `skype` running (32 bit mode) on Slackware64 -- the sound is fine but my mic is not able to be detected. KMIX shows that my mic is enabled, and I can hear myself when I test it.

Use _roff to underline words

I currently have a file that I'd like to pass through a `_roff` to format with underline a few words in the file, and then view the file in `less`. Just a few, mind you, not whole sections or anything. **How do i underline specific words in a file with`_roff`?** NB: I know I have groff and nroff.   NNB: I don't know a whole lot about type formatting.


How to use the ul command line utility

I wanted to answer http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3043/use-roff-to- underline-words with "just use ul, this command is meant specifically for underlining text", however I just can't grasp how to use it. I thought               $ echo "hello _kitty_ world" > /tmp/foo.txt     $ ul /tmp/foo.txt      would give me an underlined "kitty", however it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?


What is the difference between the packages postgresql and postgresql-9.n?

I know that packages `postgresql-9.1`, `postgresql-9.2` etc., are packages for Postgresql database versions 9.1 and 9.2 and so on. What I don't know is what the package `postgresql` is for? Does installing this package install whatever is the latest version in the current release in the distribution? If yes or not, what is its purpose? The closest questions I could find here is this one, Why do package names contain version numbers? and it doesn't answer my question appropriately.


How to use wildcards (*) when copying with scp?

rsync specific directories

Below are the directories of my directory structure. I only want to run `rsync` on the content under the archive directory of any subdirectory and exclude everything else:               ./     ap/     ap/aploader/     ap/aploader/archive/     ap/as400/     ap/as400/archive/     ce/     ce/archive/     edi/     edi/810/     edi/810/archive/     fin/     fin/adp/     fin/adp/archive/     gl/     gl/adp/     gl/adp/archive/     gl/as400/     gl/as400/archive/     gl/dcb/     gl/dcb/archive/     om/     om/pricelist/     om/pricelist/archive/     om/sygma/     om/sygma/archive/      The source and destination directories have the same directory structure but only archive directory need to `rsync`. For example: Everything under `/xx/inbound/om/pricelist/archive` needs to be copied to `/yy/inbound/om/pricelist/archive` and `xx/inbound/om/sygma/archive` needs to be copied to `/yy/inbound/om/sygma/archive`, and so on... I tried the following which doesn't work as I want it to:               rsync --include '**archive/***' --exclude '*' -avzh -avzh /xx/inbound/ /yy/inbound


How to show lines after each grep match until other specific match?

I know that by using the `"-A NUM"` switch I can print specific number of trailing lines after each match. I am just wondering if it's possible to print trailing lines until a specific word is found after each match. e.g. When I search for "Word A" I want to see the line containing "Word A" and also the lines after it until the one containing "Word D". context:               Word A     Word B     Word C     Word D     Word E     Word F      command:               grep -A10 'Word A'      I need this output:               Word A     Word B     Word C     Word D

How to remove cache device from bcache?

I believe, that once I made sure my cache device state is "clean":               $ sudo cat /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/state      I can just physically remove it from the machine when it is powered off or boot with liveCD and clean the superblock with:               $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=<backing device for cache> bs=1024 count=1024      But I cannot find anywhere a confirmation, that this procedure wouldn't mess anything up.


ide and pci bus commands

Is the ide interface also a bus? Is there a command like lspci or lsusb, to find out what devices are on the ide bus? Sources seem to contradict eachother. I'm asking this question here because of the need to know how to explore the bus in linux, but I would also like to make sure I understand what it is to begin with. Would that there is command like lssata as well?


"find: .: No such file or directory" while using find on the current directory

Find command seems not to work at all. For example, I'm in a directory where there absolutely is file named index.php and I execute this:               [root@server htdocs]# find . -name "index.php"     find: .: No such file or directory      I always get this no such file or directory error. No matter what path I define, or what file I search for, I always get this error. I'm pretty sure that I'm overlooking something very simple. Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Disabling power management

I am running Cubieez on a Cubieboard2, I need to disable screen saver and power management, I've followed several tutorials about but none seems to work, I've written:               xset s off.     xset -dpms     xset s noblank     exec /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager      In `~/.xinitrc` but the board keeps going to blank. What's more interesting is that if I enter `xset -dpms` in the command line it works and stops the power management, so I wonder is if it really reading the `~/.xinitrc` file.


Invoking memory compaction on linux 2.6.35 kernels and beyond

This LWN article about memory compaction indicates that memory compaction can be invoked in the linux kernel by > Writing a node number to /proc/sys/vm/compact_node, causing compaction to > happen on the indicated NUMA node. When should I write the node number to the sys entry? I mean what should I detect or read and then write the node to the sys entry? What should be my criteria and how should I measure that criteria before writing to the sys entry? > (…) The other is for the system to fail in an attempt to allocate a higher- > order page; in this case, compaction will run as a preferable alternative to > freeing pages through direct reclaim. In the absence of an explicit trigger, > the compaction algorithm will stay idle; there is a cost to moving pages > around which is best avoided if it is not needed. What is meant by allowing the system to fail? Fail in what way? How can I detect that failure ? By failure does it mean simple request for allocating a higher order page, which was denied ? In this case is the compaction algorithm run automatically, by itself? My requirement: I'd like to trigger memory compaction by getting an idea of system state and memory fragmentation on the system. And I'd like to know for sure that compaction will help before actually running it.


What is the "~/" directory?

I'm trying to locate where some files are stored and I can easily browse to them via ssh by going to "cd ~/foldername", however, I have no idea what directory "~/" actually is. When I browse around folders via WinSCP (yes, I'm a Windows admin), I can't seem to locate this folder at all. This is probably the most "noob" question I've ever asked but I've been having a tough time Googling it due to the length and it not actually coming up. **Note:** I'm using Amazon Linux on EC2 if it makes any difference. Thanks in advance.


Ubuntu 12 installation - partitions

Compress zip files with higher compression

I have a large number of zip files that were compressed using the zip command. I would like to recompress them with the -9 flag to improve the compression ratio. Does anyone know if that can be done without manually decompressing and then compressing. PS. I need to keep them as zip files since they are served to windows users( and as such have white spaces in their names)


Set environment variable for all of tmux shells when gnome-sessions gets restarted

To solve this problem, I need to set the environment variable `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` for all shells inside `tmux` every time I restart gnome without restarting tmux (this is often). How can I best solve this?   * I cannot cleanly change another processes' environment.   * I cannot send a command to every pane   * I could set the environment variable in my `PROMPT_COMMAND`. It means I need to press `Enter` before I can run gnome applications. It's ugly and overkill.   * I could set the environment variable by executing a command before every command, but that's a bit overkill. Is there another way to fix this in a cleaner way?


Which process updates /proc/scsi/scsi?

I wrote C that displays info about my hardware on ubuntu. Now I wonder how I can make it more flexible such as querying the hardware directly instead of the file the os updates. So I think I can look what write to `/proc/scsi/scsi` and do the same so that this code can work also on unices who could have other method than a /proc/scsi/scsi and so that I can learn how to display hardware information.               #include <stdio.h>     #include <stdlib.h>     int main()     {        char ch, file_name[25] = "/proc/scsi/scsi";        FILE *fp;         fp = fopen(file_name,"r"); // read mode         if( fp == NULL )        {           perror("Error while opening the file.\n");           exit(EXIT_FAILURE);        }         printf("The contents of %s file are :\n", file_name);         while( ( ch = fgetc(fp) ) != EOF )           printf("%c",ch);         fclose(fp);        return 0;     }      For me it looked like this               $ cc driveinfo.c;./a.out      The contents of /proc/scsi/scsi file are :     Attached devices:     Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: ATA      Model: WDC WD2500JS-75N Rev: 10.0       Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 05     Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: ATA      Model: ST3250824AS      Rev: 3.AD       Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 05     Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: TSSTcorp Model: DVD+-RW TS-H653A Rev: D300       Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI  SCSI revision: 05     Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: Optiarc  Model: DVD-ROM DDU1681S Rev: 102A       Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI  SCSI revision: 05     Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: Lexar    Model: USB Flash Drive  Rev: 1100       Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 00     Host: scsi5 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00       Vendor: WD       Model: 5000AAKB Externa Rev: l108       Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 00      Can it run on other unices e.g. bsd?

wheezy maven install

I have wheezy installed from a pen drive. Updated things and thought I had got `maven` and `eclipse`. But `maven` projects would not compile. I uninstalled all the `maven` programs I could find in Add/remove software. That was 2 days back. Now can't remember what I removed and anyway fear something was missing. What -all- do I need to install to get `maven` working with java projects--run from command line and eclipse? Should I reinstall eclipse/STS?

How can I get the first column of a 300GB txt file?

let me first explain my problem in detail. It's actually pretty simple. I have a huge .txt file, 300GB to be more preciese, and I would like to put all the distinct strings from the first column, that match my pattern into a different .txt file.               awk '{print $1}' file_name | grep -o '/ns/.*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > test1.txt      This is what I've tried, and as far as I can see it works fine but the problem is that after some time I get the following error:               awk: program limit exceeded: maximum number of fields size=32767         FILENAME="file_name" FNR=117897124 NR=117897124      Any suggestions for parsing through a file this big?


How do I create this symbolic link in Unix?

I want to run gmake when I run make, so I am creating a symbolic link. My gmake is inside `/usr/local/dist`. My make is inisde `/usr/ccs/bin`. Is this the correct command: `ln -s /usr/local/dist/gmake /usr/ccs/bin/make` My confusion is, do I even care about `/usr/ccs/bin/make`? I am making a symbolic link so if I type "make" anywhere it should just run gmake at `/usr/local/dist` right? So should the command be: `ln -s /usr/local/dist/gmake make`?

How to authenticate a user with PAM, that is not the user that started the application

I'm currently developing an authentication module for an application. The decision was made to do this by using PAM. I have made this work but it can only authenticate the user that started the application. This means that if I started the application as the user 'appname' the authentication only tells me it is successful if the user is 'appname' and not 'some_user' If I su to that 'some_user' and started the application in that terminal then I can authenticate 'some_user' but not 'appname' I turned on the debug flag for pam_unix in common-auth. Resulting in the following output when it rejects:               unix_chkpwd[4107]: check pass; user unknown     unix_chkpwd[4107]: password check failed for user (pamtest)     [app]: pam_unix(other:auth): authentication failure; logname=[appname] uid=1000 euid=1000 tty= ruser=[appname] rhost=  user=pamtest


Creating a local workspace for development/testing

I want to be able to `mount`, say /home/$USER/workspace to /usr/local/workspace. Right now I'm using the python package pyfilesystem which uses `fuse` to do that. My problem is, that inside that mount I am not able to create `symlinks`. I don't even need symlinks going outside the mount, but even a symlink that normally is created for a shared library during compilation, will not be created inside the mount. So I'm either looking for a totally different approach, or a tool (preferably written in `Python`) that does exactly what `pyfilesystem` is doing and supports the creation of symlinks. Further constraints:   * Using a simple symlink instead of a mount does not work for me as the mounted directory will actually be inside a `chroot`.   * Mounting must not require root privileges.   * Changing `fstab` is not an option.   * Thus using `mount bind` is not an option.


How to set Linux to ask for authentication when running potentially dangerous commands?

I've faced times when I accidentally ran dangerous commands and lost all my data. How do I set Linux to ask for current user password or root user password when running potentially dangerous commands like `rm -rf .` or `rm -rf /` and many other?


How to prevent shutdown when an SSH user is logged in?

I'm administrating a networked environment and I had an interesting situation arise yesterday. When a host is required to shutdown by a regular user, it refuses to do so if other users are logged in locally. This, however, is not the case when other users are logged in via SSH. If one user is logged in locally and one user is logged in via SSH and the locally logged in user attempts shutdown it succeeds without even a warning and the other user's SSH connection is abruptly terminated. My question is, is there a way to prevent this like the policy does for local users? I have already looked at the man page for `sshd_config` and couldn't find anything that seems related. * * * **EDIT (Additional info.):** There are 4 OS's on the network: Mandriva 2009, Mandriva 2010.2, Mandriva 2011 and Ubuntu 11.04. The specific case I'm referring to had the SSH user on a Mandriva 2009 host and the local user on a Mandriva 2011 host. Mandriva 2009 hosts use the GNOME 2.28 environment, 2010.2 hosts use GNOME 2.32, 2011 hosts use KDE Plasma and the Ubuntu 11.04 hosts use Unity. * * * **Update** As I noted in this question, I have looked into `polkit` actions under `/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/` and found (in the file `org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy`) an action called `org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users` that throws the message               System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in      I'm thinking (due to the `org.freedesktop.*` naming convention) that this is some kind of signal sent to the DM via D-BUS. I think that if I can find out what signal triggers this `polkit` action, I should be able to modify its behavior. Any ideas? * * * **Update 2** I tried a little experiment today and it gave me very strange results. I tried logging in via SSH to one box and made sure no other users were logged in on any VTs. If I choose to `Shutdown` from the "Actions" menu of GDM, I get the long-awaited policy message informing me that it's impossible to do so without authentication as other users are logged in. **However** , if I use GDM to locally log in and choose to shut down the box from GNOME's menu, the SSH session is clobbered as before. How is this possible? Is the behavior different when I initiate a `shutdown` request from GDM than when I initiate it from within a `gnome-session`? Does that tell anybody anything that can help me solve the problem?


Mac OS X: Terminal Prompt Username

I'm using Mac OS Snow Leopard (v10.6.8). I've changed the account name under `System Preferences > System > Accounts > Full Name`. However, that does not change the username on the terminal prompt. That is, by changing the `export PS1` to, for example, `\u`, the username remains the old one. I did not rename the home directory under `/Users/username`, but I was hoping it would be possible just to change that particular username on the terminal (I think it is called short name).


SSH public key authentication works on LAN and not from WAN

I've setup my SSH server to use public key authentication. When I connect to my server on local network, it authenticates. But it doesn't when I connect over the internet. I don't think the problem is port forwarding. It used to work before disabling password login in the server. Here is the output of ssh -vvv user@example.com               OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011     debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config     debug1: /etc/ssh_config line 20:

apt-get install without debconf prompt

I would like to install chef via apt non-interactively, but by default, apt installation brings up this prompt: ![apt install chef prompt](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Rs9Ly.png) Is there a way to skip this step during installation or pass a value to apt install? I'm only using chef-solo, so don't actually need the server componenent, so simply press return on this prompt.


What was the old linux game for programmers, simulating a life on a grid of pixels?

I remember about 10 years ago in the official Linux repository there was a program, simulating a life of creatures on a grid of pixels (each occupying one pixel). The point of the "game" was in writing a code for the creatures, which could live and reproduce in this world (i.e. you edit the C++ source code and recompile the project to add a new creature). You could also decide a few parameters, e.g. how strong your creatures will be. However, all such "good" features came at a price of increased consumption of the creatures according to a predefined formula. After compiling you could run it, and observe your creatures, which are pixels on a (mostly) green rectangle (most of the "world" was "occupied" by something like grass). Observe, how the creatures live and reproduce or become extinct. Could anyone tell me, what could be the name of this "game"? **P.S.** Most probably it was in RedHat repository **P.P.S.** After some search I didn't find the original program. It seems, that the closest modern "relative" is Avida.


How to undelete just deleted directory with "rm -R" command?

I deleted an important directory with `rm -R` command. This is an very populer host data. It was located `/var/zpanel/hostdata/ayrintilih` After remove ayrintilih directory has gone everything. I tried to undelete with `ext4magic` program. But it need to another hdd volume for recovery. Error message:               ERROR: can not use "/root/recoveried" for recover directory. It's the same filesystem : "/dev/dm-0"      My ISP just replied my request:               Unfortunately there is no way to add another Volume to a virtual Instance.      If it would be a dedicated Server, we could do it, but not in a Cloudserver.      You could try to minimize the partition and create another one, that would      count as another Volume. We also recommend to have allways a      Backup for your Important files.

Is there any point in using `sudo` when you are the sole user of your machine?

I'd like to know if there is any reason why I should use `sudo` instead of `su`, taking into account that I am the owner and sole user of my machine (and hence have root access whenever I want). Also, in case there is a good reason to prefer `sudo`, I want to know what privileges should I give myself. * * * **EDIT:** I have just found a very nice reference for `sudo`. If anyone is interested it is here.


Why GRUB boots Debian 32-bits instead Ubuntu 64-bits in my multiboot configuration?

I installed Ubuntu GNOME Remix 64-bis on my system. I set the installer to reuse my `/boot` and `/home`. Since ubiquity (the Ubuntu installer) was giving me hard time installing GRUB I selected to "Continue Without a Bootloader" and since I installed/mounted `/boot` in my previous `/boot` I just had to do `update-grub` from Debian 32-bits and problem solved... sounds easy, but it isn't. The `update-grub` command detects Ubuntu in my other HD:               sudo update-grub2     [sudo] password for braiam:      Generating grub.cfg ...

How to find the htpasswd file created for SVN over Apache?

I setup subversion with remote access over apache. I created an `htpasswd` file for it, but now I've forgotten the filename and path. How can I find it?


How to create a custom dynamic DNS solution?

You all probably know commercial dynamic DNS providers like dyndns.org or no- ip.com. But how to create a similar service for just a handful of machines? What server software would be best suited for such a setup (under Linux)? Advantages:   * the service would be under your control   * no tracking by some opaque company Minimal requirements: Probably something like: you own at least one host machine with a static IP, a domain and your domain provider let you configure DNS records. Clients: A few machines that are connected via cable/DSL and only get dynamic IP addresses on each dial-up and/or every x hours.


Can't access internet after connecting to L2TP IPsec VPN

I have configured a L2TP VPN on Ubuntu server 11.04, and I can connect to it with a Mac client. But after connecting successfully to this L2TP VPN, my Mac cannot access the internet. To access the internet, I have to disconnect from the VPN. My local IP address on Mac is 192.168.1.105, after connecting to VPN, I use this IP: 10.1.2.2. How can I fix this?


How to find every symbolic link on a server?

I need to find every symbolic link on the server. The version is `AIX 6.1`. `man find` says               -L Follow symbolic links      But `find -L` is not a proper usage. `Usage: find [-H | -L] Path-list [Expression-list]` I tried to Google this but couldn't find answers.


Regaining usage of volume control media keys after removing pulseaudio

I am running a GNOME 3 fallback desktop in Debian testing, and I removed some `pulseaudio` packages, for I don't need the advanced functionality. That resulted in my multimedia keys that control speaker volume to work no more. This forces me to use a mouse on the classic volume control applet to control the volume, which isn't always convenient. Here's what I get:               $ acpi_listen     button/volumedown VOLDN 00000080 00000000 K     button/volumeup VOLUP 00000080 00000000 K      **note** : the other Fn keys (brightness, suspend, ...) work okay


How to do alphanumeric validation for a particular column (say $2) of a file using awk?

How do I perform alphanumeric validation for a particular column (say `$2`) of a file using awk? For example I've tried:               awk -F, '{if ($10==(/[0-9a-zA-Z]/)) count+=1;} END {print count}' final.csv      I don't get any errors or a result.


How to install LibreOffice on Scientific Linux 6.1?

How can I install (from a repository?*) a fresh but still stable version of LibreOffice under Scientific Linux 6.1 64bit?      * = this means I need updates too, so if there will be a newer stable version of LibreOffice, then I it should update it self (of course with the package manager set to auto update). Because if I just install a .rpm file then it wouldn't be updated if there are newer releases..


Default preference of executable over built-ins with the same name

I was playing around a bit with the names of some executables, putting them in a folder, `~/bin`, which is in my `$PATH`. Now I'm wondering how I can set the preferences of a `bash-3.2` terminal so that it picks up these executables instead of the builtins or aliases to execute. For example, if I put a script named `cd` in a directory in `$PATH`, the builtin for `cd` is still executed. However, if I create an `alias` for `cd`, then this alias will be executed, overriding the builtin.               $ type cd     cd is a shell builtin      ### My questions   1. Is there a way to make an executable file in `$PATH` have, by default, preference over a shell builtin, by executing only, e.g. `cd` without having to resort to using the commands `builtin` or `command`?   2. I'm also interested in any official reference which discusses this preference (not the reasoning, that I do understand). **Note:** This question is purely for personal educational purposes, I am wondering why it works the way it works.


Unable to use scp on Solaris

I'm trying to use `scp` from one Solaris machine to another, but I get this message and the copy fails:               root@ark123 # scp -r emcgrab_SunOS_v4.4.4a.tar 192.163.119.21:/tmp     Password:     Sourcing /root/.profile-EIS.....     root@ark123      What does this mean? How do I fix it so `scp` will work?


Setting nice and ionice for rsync via xinetd

I am attempting to set nice and ionice for rsync via xinetd. I am running Fedora 16. The reason I would like to use these values is to reduce the rsync process to an idle state so other processes run unaffected. I have tried to use `/etc/default/rsync` to set nice and ionice values, but it looks like these are not working for me. The rsync process is always started with a nice value of 0, even when I set it to 19. Do these settings work in xinetd? Is there another way to nice rsync via xinetd? Here are my config files: /etc/rsync.conf:               log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log     pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid     lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock     [share]     <shares go here>      /etc/xinetd.d/rsync:               service rsync     {         disable = no         flags           = IPv6         socket_type     = stream         wait            = no         user            = root         server          = /usr/bin/rsync         server_args     = --daemon         log_on_failure  += USERID     }      /etc/default/rsync:               RSYNC_ENABLE=inetd     RSYNC_OPTS=''     RSYNC_NICE='19'     RSYNC_IONICE='-c3'
