OT: Help with Damaged data on a hard drive
my friend had a external hard (250GB) and the SATA plug broke he didn't know this for a while, so there is now corrupt data on the drive (broken partition table and some other stuff) I've finally backed up the data (69h copy time) with GNU ddrescue here's the problem, the best option is to make a copy of the backup and work on that but I don't have the space the other two options are to work on the hard drive, or work on the backup image the other problem is that I've already tried fixing the partition table (with testdisk) on the drive but I got read errors later on I'm thinking the best approach would be to erase the hard drive (get a ride of all the errors) and dd on the backup image and work on the drive from there any ideas?

Help please (Nooby) Headless Ubuntu - SHH VNC
Hi, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux (I've been using Microsoft operating systems since 1983). I've got a media server box and I managed to install Ubuntu and Samba (using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows). I set up VNC via SSH (mostly using http://ubuntuswitch.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/securely-remote-control-your-ubuntu-via-putty-from-a-windows-host-vncssh/) which works, almost, ok. My problem is that after a reboot, I need to login using the local keyboard, before I can remote in. I've found a variety of posts about this but (a) I'm confused, and (b) I'm worried that I'll break what is working ok and my family will attack me for stopping them watching videos. It's been working fine for many months but it's stuck in my study instead of off in the garage. Some posts also mention problems with getting error messages on boot if there is no monitor (error messages which require a local keyboard or mouse OK to get rid off) which will also cause problems when I shift it to the garage. Any suggestions or offers of help greatfully accepted (or pointers to linux-nerds-r-us services in Christchurch). Thanks Charles Finn (aka Karl Fimm) the Confused - The solution is as simple as ABC: Arach, Brass Man, Cormac - what was the question?

Is the problem not getting a commandline via putty, or not being able to get a vnc connection until you have logged in to your desktop? If you are just running on your local network (as opposed to accessing from elsewhere on the internet, which the article you refer to is about), SSH tunnelling the VNC session is overkill.

Some posts also mention problems with getting error messages on boot if there is no monitor (error messages which require a local keyboard or mouse OK to get rid off) which will also cause problems when I shift it to the garage.

Re: Help please (Nooby) Headless Ubuntu - SHH VNC
Hi, I suggest you add to the box the package ssh, which is a metapackage for the ssh server and ssh client. Then test if you can use ssh to connect to the box in question. End gobbledy gook linux commands. as a user on the box you are setting up to run headless, do sudo apt-get install ssh Ok.. From the instructions you have followed, you already have ssh installed on your media box. Similar command on a different linux box, or install a ssh client on a windows box. You should now be able to open a terminal on the remote box and establish a ssh (secure shell) connection to the box you are running headless. This verifies that the network interface is established and running. === Now reboot the box you are setting up as headless. From earlier reports, you said that you could not do vnc to it. ok. Can you use ssh to connect to the box you are settng up as headless? If not, then the box does not have an active network interface, and the problem is not vnc.

Re: Help please (Nooby) Headless Ubuntu - SHH VNC
2009/11/21 Karl Fimm karlf...@gmail.com Hi Eliot, After a reboot, I can get a command line via putty, I just can't VNC. Does the bootup sequence start the VNC server running? You can check this with the one liner on the terminal after the boot-up sequence has completed:- ps aux | grep vnc | grep -v grep If you get a line of text it's running, if not, not. If not you can add the name of the VNC executable file to the file /etc/rc.local before, i.e. above, the line which is the one containing the command 'exit 0' That will start the VNC server during the boot up process. I am deliberately vague about the actual name of the executable file because there are several versions of VNC available for Ubuntu, and I do not know their precise names. Probably something like 'vnc-server'. However it will have the letters vnc in the name, and the command:- find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -iname '*vnc*' ( include the asterisks and single quotes on the command line ) will definitely find it for you.

Help convert a Mac user to Linux
Due to a combination of factors, such as the age of her Mac, the cost of a new Mac, and the constant presence of two Linux die-hards in the house, my partner is willing to at least consider replacing her iMac with a Linux system. We household geeks have been, if not happy, at least willing to play and tweak and nurse our designed-for-Windows machines as necessary, but this new system will need to be pretty robust. So, the first task is to find a moderately-priced (cheaper than a recent-vintage Mac), moderately capable system which we can be confident is fully Linux-compatible. Any idea where we can find such a beast? Reliable suspend would be a big plus, though perhaps not essential if cold-booting is zippy enough. Any advice on shops in Christchurch that do this sort of thing, or just general advice on determining how well a given machine (or component) will play with Linux? This doesn't need to be a flash system. Mostly, it will be used for web browsing, e-mail, light word processing, and photo cataloguing (any recommendations that an iPhoto user would be happy with?), though a key requirement is a replacement for Quicken (I believe gnucash will be suitable, though other recommendations are welcome).

It's written in Java, runs on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms at least, is inexpensive and has an active online users' board.

Re: Kubuntu help please
2009/5/17 Christopher Sawtell csawt...@gmail.com: My Kubuntu PPC 8.10 - 9.04 upgrade locked me out of my Mac G4. Have you any idea why? I did not investigate. I only use it to check email and browse the web, and OS X is still on it, so it is not something I want to spend much time on, no data I need to save. I would get a KDE login screen but could not login. Also the screen locks and slowly goes white when I try to switch to another console, or log into a text session. I am very interested to hear this because it is quite a possibility that I will be asked to install a KDE based application on a PPC Mac portable. This is a PowerBook Ti 500 - and it seems to differ from other PowerBook Ti's - most posts on the Ubuntu PPC forum about PB Ti's refer to different video cards and some other hardware. Installing was a pain - mainly because of the graphics. I had to install a text system then install X and KDE (using the alternate CD). Should not have set it up to boot into a graphical login. I never got suspend to disk to work correctly. I would check for problems with the specific hardware. I always thought that there was not that much variation with Macs - not as much as there is in the x86 world, anyway - but there seems to be more than I thought. You should really ask if it is worth it. I have been trying 9.04 - and as soon as I work out one problem, I hit another one. Can't find the CD I booted off - can't find repositories - can download but not install software ... etc All similar - but not quite the same as 8.10 :-( -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
Kubuntu help please
The installation was pretty smooth, but running the system leaves me singularly unimpresssed. Where are the system config tools please? All I see is system- settings. Looks good, until I click on it - then it has all the headlines but silch content. Maybe that's just the state of KDE4 for now, but making a whole distro on that is insane. There's got to be something useful. systemsettings network interfaces-wired doesn't even bother to ask me which interface I want to configure, let alone what the root password is. Doh. After installation there was a note telling me where to find the Kubuntu system documentation. After login that note goes poof (doh), and I can't find anything poking around. The primary job at hand: what's the gui tool to configure eth0? Manual configuration, static IP, DNS, gateway, and all in a way I can teach a non-techie. Plus saving it as a profile, then handling multiple profiles for traveling. Any kubuntu users able to point me in the right direction?

Re: Kubuntu help please
The primary job at hand: what's the gui tool to configure eth0? Knetworkmanager. It puts a little representation of the world in the panel, click on it for a config. pop up.

Any kubuntu users able to point me in the right direction? Not a Kubuntu user (tried it once, but it seemed to be Ubuntu's bastard sibling that no-one talks about). I use Mepis, which is also KDE-based. Mepis has a bunch of Mepis-written tools for user management and system management (including networks) that fill in the blanks that are *still* present. So why didn't you just install openSUSE? Anyway, I can recommend wicd for networking. It seems to Just Work. I assume it's on a laptop (you mentioned travelling). You can set up different profiles for the wired and wireless interfaces, with different parameters for different named wireless networks. To install it you might need to add or edit sources.list for apt, or just try apt-get install wicd, or find it with Google (I can't remember how I installed it). It does seem to expose flakiness already present in certain wireless drivers. I have noticed the following problems: 1) Connecting to a particular 3Com AP- can only do it when Skype is not running. If Skype is running the network is reported as connected and working, but it's not. Solution: stop Skype, disconnect and reconnect wifi, start Skype. 2) Certain APs with certain settings will freeze the PC. Not sure about this one, but nothing changes from one physical location to the other but the AP box. 3) Some OpenGL screen savers seem to freeze the PC when coming back from sleep now that I have wicd. Too many seemingly unrelated items to troubleshoot. Solution (for now) select a simple screen saver. Aside from that, wicd is the Right Way to solve this problem. HTH, A

Re: Kubuntu help please
My Kubuntu PPC 8.10 - 9.04 upgrade locked me out of my Mac G4. Have you any idea why? I am very interested to hear this because it is quite a possibility that I will be asked to install a KDE based application on a PPC Mac portable. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell

The install script is supposed to remove that for you, but maybe you have to do it by hand (sudo apt-get remove network-manager). Also, you have to clear everything from /etc/network/interfaces except the loopback interface: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php Again, this should be done automagically, but worth checking. A

Ok, after I'd already decided I don't have time for cr*p, and that's the adjective to use for describing software which poos its pants on startup with screenfuls of python barf, instead of saying that the wicd default config has access protection enabled and therefore the user runing wicd-client needs to be a member of the netdev group. Googling for the error msg has only one answer, and that's in a Polish blog. Fortunately my Polish was good enough to understand the one important word, being /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf ;) At first glance it does what I need to do. Thanks Andrew! Now some similar program for screen sizes would be good too, as xorg.conf is empty and no obvious tool is readily apparent. vmware starting up 800x600 gets a tad annoying after a while. I also need to config an old TNT 64 Pro card where kubuntu throws the same trick. One thing is that wicd does not play nice with network-manager.

I used apt-get to install openssh-server then went back to my laptop to apt-get apache2, followed by all the other bits I wanted. By default apache2 seems to like index.html and not index.php, so that took me about an hour to figure out what value to set up to fix that and get it in the right place. %% stuffed me up till I remembered where to turn on the asp style tags. display_errors = Off and log_errors = On in php.ini being On and Off, rather than Off and On, showed up a few warnings in my php code that I need to sort out. mysql5 has a few more features than mysql4, so that kept me busy for another hour while I looked about at what other things I could get in to trouble with! :) user/host rights caught me out for about half an hour. I'd used the webmin interface to set it up in CC. This time I used phpmyadmin. All in all... I'm quite happy that the machine is getting there fast enough... I was just having a rant at GUI following CS's comments :) Cheers Don
SFD install help needed
Hello *nix people of CLUG and GNUz, Tomorrow there is Software Freedom Day 2008 - http://softwarefreedomday.org A couple of beginner users have indicated they could use some install assistance, and I've put the details on http://clug.net.nz/index.php/MeetingSchedule (woops, it's down again now) - Whoosh wireless on Kubuntu, and 'something kiosk' setup please. Anybody willing to help out in any way, or just to say hi, is welcome @ South Learning Centre http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/ SFD between 10am to 4pm. I've suggested 1pm to these two guys, to start their jobs. A kiosk-capable install CD would be needed. Demo box space is available, for gaming especially, and liveCDs can be run on the lab PCs to show off your favorite distro/s. CD burning isn't organised as yet (volunteer?), but there's 100+ Ubuntu 8.04 to give away (one at a time). Revolution OS etc videos will screen as usual. All assistance appreciated, hot drinks served. Welcome to SFD8. Any questions? Cheers, Rik http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/
Re: Help needed recovering a lost directory structure
If your disk is dying then you should replace it. It's only going to get worse. So I assume you're just trying to get some important data off it? If the physical problem with the disk is related to the mechanism rather than the surface of the disks, then you could try putting the disk in the freezer. Sounds bizarre I know.

Re: Help needed recovering a lost directory structure
Yes, I intend to dump the disk once I get everything I can off it. I've heard of putting disks in the freezer, never tried it though. I did consider turning the pc off overnight (I usually leave it running), and trying again when it was cold, but at the moment it's running a SpinRite scan over all the drives (when I checked it this morning, it had been stuck on one block all night, hadn't moved...). The ironic thing is that I'd recently had a tidyup of all the various bits and pieces, documents, photos, files, directories etc, lying around the various drives and partitions I have, and consolidated them all onto this one partition before wiping all the other copies... Hmm, that's a thought, maybe I can recover some of the stuff from those other partitions...

If the physical problem with the disk is related to the mechanism rather than the surface of the disks, then you could try putting the disk in the freezer. Sounds bizarre I know.

Stop everything you're doing on it 2. Put in freezer. 3. On Sunday, connect it to a linux box with at least as much spare storage as the capacity of the disk. 4. dd the complete disk, partition by partition to iso images on the live disk. 5. Work on those images. The situation that you're now in is that everything you try lessens the chance of recovering anything, so it's imperative to work on a copy, not the original - it won't degrade... and you do nothing to the original, leave it to recover a bit, then go for it. Also, if the head's stuck, remember that these modern, newfangled disks can take shock of hundreds of G's - not like the old days when we had to shut down for a week while they were installing pilings next door...

Cisco questions.. any help .. please..
I am a novice to the cisco world, and have run into my first issue. I have a cisco 871 router and a dlink DIR-615 router. I am attempting to seperate my network into two networks by vlaning them. Vlan 1 is 172.16.1.0 and Vlan 2 is 10.168.1.0. The C871 has 5 ports on the back, one of them being a WAN. I have setup FE0 - FE2 to be VLAN 1, I setup FE3 for Vlan 2. I have assigned an IP address to Vlan 2 as 10.168.1.1 and connected it (FE3/Vlan 2) to the Dlink 615 router. I connected it (10.168.1.1) into the switch side of the dlink not the wan port. I can ping 10.168.1.1 from my 172.16.10 network, but I cannot ping the device attached to the Vlan 2 from the 172.16.1.0 network. Can anyone give me some suggestions.

Help with shell scripting
I'm having difficulty with the following script: SYNHOST=caalt04 if echo `ping -c 1 $SYNHOST` | grep -q 1 received; then echo 'Synergy connected'; ssh -2 -f -N -L 24800:$SYNHOST:24800 [EMAIL PROTECTED]; synergyc localhost; else echo 'Synergy NOT connected'; fi I'm getting the error that then is not being found. This script was working before I pulled caalt04 out as a variable. But I tidied up things at the same time, so may have messed it up somewhere else.

Thanks Rex, yes that's a much better way of doing it. Still having difficulty though - I think its either with quotes or semi-colons now...

# SYNHOST=caalt04 # ping -c 1 $SYNHOST ping: unknown host caalt04 # if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo Synergy connected else echo Synergy NOT connected fi Synergy NOT connected cut and pasted. Works fine, although you probably need to expand SYNHOST to a fqdn I'm using # echo $SHELL /bin/bash Are you??? If not, add the line #!/bin/bash ( or wherever it is ) to the top of the script and see if this improves things.

Apparently, copying code snippets around the place is fraught with little gotchas. The problem with that last example was that the line breaks were stuffed up. I noticed that the example in the email had blank lines in it, gedit didn't show those. I deleted the line breaks, added new ones and it works fine.

Re: Help with shell scripting
Kerry, When you write a shell script you can specify which scripting language you want in the first line of the file. This is often called the hash bang line because it could be: #!/bin/sh # this line is a comment unlike the previous line echo blah exit So there is no need to call one script from another - in fact you may find other problems. Maybe the CLUG could have a preso about scripts one Tuesday evening ?

man ping Note that ping sets the return code according to what it discovers. vis: 0 machine responds; 1 machine in the DNS, but not responding; 2 unknown machine; Also note that recent versions of ping now have lots of new, and very useful, options. and for the very best in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting see:- http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ pick the format you prefer from:- http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/ There are lots and _lots_ of example scripts from which you can crib ideas.
