I've just lifted the siege of Battlehorn Castle and there are bodies everywhere. I'd really like to make my new home presentable. I am, after all, a lord now.
I'm trying to lift the hands and feet and head because they seem the easiest, but I'm really not making very much progress. It's been 10 ...
@Patrick That's why I've kept it. The default orange works and everyone knows that it's me. My username is also based on my original Unix username so I'm a creature of habit and generally don't change things once I've got them the way that I want.
@Patrick Ironically the only other avatar I would've used is either Manny or the one you've been using since my kids and are a huge fans of the ice age movies 8-)
@Patrick I stay with Fedora 14 until Dec 2013 so I'm not one to change just for the "fun" of it 8-). Though I enjoy using new tech. just not where I sleep, better to run new things on VMs and on "other" servers. I can't imagine ever changing my avatar at this point. I've made this one my gravatar as well.
/proc/meminfo will tell you how free works, but /proc/kcore can tell you what the kernel uses. From the same page:
/proc/kcore

stored in the ELF core file format. With this pseudo-file,
and an unstrippe...
Before we discuss the specifics regarding pdflush, kjournald, andkswapd`, let's first get a little background on the context of what exactly we're talking about in terms of the Linux Kernel.
The GNU/Linux architecture
The architecture of GNU/Linux can be thought of as 2 spaces:
User
Kernel
...
Ubuntu calls the service ssh, not sshd.
service ssh restart
The service is also controlled by upstart, and not sysvinit. So you'll find it at /etc/init/ssh.conf instead of /etc/init.d/ssh.
It can be reproduced easily. The user used the wrong name for the service...
So... In trying to install debian as dual-booting with XP, I shrank the XP partition, created a new one for debian, and went ahead and installed it into the new partition. The installation went fine, and I was immediately able to run debian from the grub that it installed. Once I overcame my joy that it worked, I tried booting xp from the same grub menu but was immediately heartbroken, distraught, and furious at not only the entire world Yada yada... The screen went blank with a blinking cursor.
Overcame that rage after a couple minutes... Too much google, too much nail biting. I still have not figured out what I should do since my computer came with xp, and I can't find my recovery disk. It seems that the NTFS partition that windows is on is not corrupt. Help appreciated!
@HelpingHand well, questions go on the site, not sure if you want to ask here or on Superuser (where there is a lot more Windows expertise). On Linux, I think ntfs-3g has a ntfsck.
But I'm not sure why you believe the NTFS volume to be corrupt. I think its far more likely the bootloader (either Grub, or the chain-loaded Windows bootloader) is confused.
On a different topic, I'm pretty sure deleting your question the second you get an answer isn't OK... e.g., unix.stackexchange.com/questions/127998/… (must have 10k rep to see, as its deleted)
@slm @terdon I guess that last comment is two you two, as the other two folks currently in the room with enough rep (10k) to see deleted questions and if you agree, vote to undelete them...
I have a password stored in a shell variable (which was read from command line input).
I also have a keyfile stored in a file (which was created using dd and /dev/urandom).
Since I want to require both of those to decrypt my hard drive, I would like to XOR them, store it in a file and use that ...
Hello! :) I've a question which is, I was uploading a file to dropbox and was capturing packets using Wireshark(very new to wireshark and sniffing packets). I found out that I was sending/receiving packets to or from my computer's IP, and this IP: 23.23.74.93.
I did a whois check on that IP, and got the information that its from Amazon, and not dropbox! I'd like to know why thats so.
^^ Forgot to mention an important point. Im using Ubuntu 14.04.
@derobert, it seems suspicious when you take in the point that Im using Ubuntu... any privacy issues?
@derobert, Ubuntu by default sends dash search items to Amazon as you know, and we have to manually disable it if we dont like that. Is there a chance of any privacy issues?
