lol, I'm stupid, forgot to do make modules_install. Now it works lol.

 

It couldn't find the SATA module to control the hard drives. Now it works once I recompiled everything back as a module and did the make modules_install.

Hey guys,

I'm getting into some trouble on my newly compiled kernel. I had no issues compiling a kernel before but I'm getting booting issues. I guess it could be some type of SATA support issue since this is the first time I had a SATA drive. However, I'm very sure that I compiled SATA support right into the kernel instead of it being a module.

This is my filesystem config:

## File systems
#
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y

CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=m
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m
CONFIG_FUSE_FS=m

and this is the boot error:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block (0,0)Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

My OpenSUSE kernel works just fine, i don't understand why mine doesn't.

I think just shoving a discrete graphics unit in laptops work fine just as they do now. The external units aren't really required unless you don't want to build a desktop too, but gaming is still mainly on desktop.Laptops will never fully replace desktops because desktops are a lot friendlier for gaming than laptops due to the ease of upgrading them.xboxrulz

Docduke,

 

for file in $(ls -a $1) basically tells the script to grab all (-a) the file/folder entries including all hidden folders in the folder $1 (which is a variable argument).

It could be some corruption in your Windows Registry or system service that keeps forcing Windows to crash and restart. It is best to reinstall Windows.xboxrulz

Ok, I had to scrap it since my professor highly discouraged using diff because it's too specific and too sensitive to differences.

He told me to use
for file in $(ls -a $1)
if (! -d $1/$file)
to check the differences of the directories

So I ended up with scripting this.

#This code is GPL v3for file in $(ls -a $1)   do		if [ ! -e $2/$file ]			then				ls -ld $1/$file		fi   done   for file in $(ls -a $2)    do		if [ ! -e $1/$file ]			then				ls -ld $2/$file		fi   done

and this script works flawlessly.

Thanks for the pointers guys, really helped,

Find out the difference between the file listing in two directories? Or it should even list out the difference between each files in the two directories?

 

If it is the difference between the file listing, it can be done easily than the other requirement. Here is what I can think top of my mind:

 

1. Ensure you are not in the directories that needs to be compared

 

cd [path-to-some-temporary-location]

 

2. Get the single line file listing of both directories into temporary files

 

dir -1 [path/first-directory] > dirlist1

dir -1 [path./second-directory] > dirlist2

 

3. Do a compare between these two:

 

diff dirlist1 dirlist2 > difference.txt

 

If you want th differences to be printed on scree - ofcourse, remove the redirection to difference.txt

 

4. Clean up!

 

rm dirlist1 dirlist2

 

The difference.txt or the output (if you removed redirection) would list the files which are in the first directory and not in second, and vise versa. Put all these commands in a .bsh with a shebhang at top, change permissions to let appropriate people execute the script, and you are good to go.

 

Now, ofcourse, there might be possibility of stuffing all these into one command using pipes and tees (I am lazy to figure out exactly how it can be done).

Does the $* variable allow the the user to enter "/home/user/path" as one variable or will it split it to home, user and path separately per $. Like home being $1, user being $2 and path being $3?

 

First point.

For honesty purposes, just tell me something. Is this something you want to do for a friend, or is this a homework your teacher asked you to perform ?

Because if it's a homework, your teacher "at order 0" wants you to think by yourself, an you have to do the job quite alone.

Of course, if your teacher is smart, "at order 1" he wants to see if you are able to do some googling.

And "at order 2" he wants to know if you have some help on forums.

"At order 3" the guys on the forum can do mistakes and you must fix my bugs.

 

Second point. Here we are at in the "open" world. That means that if you ask two people the same question, you will have two different answers. And both of them well be righ.

My first idea was exactly what vyoma says, two lists and a "diff" to see the difference. seeing that, my second thought is "OK, I will do it differently.

Here is my script, I wold like you to test it.

# Let us suppose that we want to see if the files in folder1 are also in folder2.

cd folder1

for i in `ls`

do

if [ if ../folder2/$i]

then

#do nothing because I want to know the non-existing files

present=1

else

echo "folder2/"$i file is missing

ls -l $i >> /tmp/size_of_the_impacted_files

fi

# end of job

# This shell_script is copywrited, only Yordan friends may use it

 

And remember, using my shell-scripts costs 15% of the money you earn with my scripts.

Regards

Yordan

It is for homework, thing is I didn't quite get how to approach this. Obviously I'm not going to copy code, that's just plain wrong. I just want ideas and adapt them.

 

lol, and i don't think anyone is gonna really make any money out of using a directory comparison script, but i never know lol.

 

Based on what xboxrules actually wants, that is, if his answer to my second question was yes:

Then I think yordan's solution is more elegant. All it needs next, are two things:

1. List of files in folder2 and not in folder1 - implementation will be exactly same as what yordan wrote

2. Find out the difference bettween files which are present in both folders - To implement this, in one of the loops, when you deduce that the files are present in both directories, run a 'diff folder1/$i folder2/$i'

It only lists out the files that are for example in folder 1 but not 2 and vice versa but the list view must be like what ls -l would list so dircmp won't cut it unfortunately...

 

Like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 xboxrulz staff 16 Oct 27 23:57 differences.txt

-rw-r--r-- 1 xboxrulz staff 19 Oct 27 23:57 dirlist1

-rw-r--r-- 1 xboxrulz staff 9 Oct 27 23:57 dirlist2

drwxr-xr-x 2 xboxrulz staff 152 Oct 27 21:16 folder1

drwxr-xr-x 2 xboxrulz staff 110 Oct 27 21:17 folder2

... but showing the different files.

 

Thanks for the pointers guys, that just gave me some clue to this confusing work.

{EDIT} P.S: I think Vyoma's idea is easier to code, let me try that out first ...

DDR400 (PC3200). Since my parents are in Hong Kong right now, I've asked them to scout around in the computer plazas over there... usually the deals are a lot cheaper there.xboxrulz

It's best to disable the 3G network since I think it's interfering with the wireless signal since if I'm not mistaken, I they share the same frequency.

Apparently, it was a paging issue and it's a faulty RAM module. I guess after years of humming by beautifully it finally gave up.xboxrulz

Hey guys, my brother's machine is screwing up.It blue screened at least 3 times today. The first two times it came with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error. Alright, so I went to do a chkdsk /f /r. Once that was complete, the system rebooted into Windows again.Then when I login, it gives me a STOP 0x00000024 bluescreen and then I'm like O.o?!?What should I do?Is it a corrupt filesystem? It was just working while my bro was just on Firefox so highly unlikely or is it a problematic hardware?He has a Samsung 160GB HDD ... could it be the motherboard causing faulty data?Thanks,xboxrulz

Hey guys,I've been tasked to create a bash shell script to compare directories and only list out the differences between the two directory.Does anyone have any ideas or pointers of how to go about this problem?Many thanks,xboxrulz

I agree, it's time (and it's up to each one of us) to open new topics on really new subjects.

I second that, it is quite boring here sometimes since not many people are really willing to post anymore. Even if they do post, it's not that interesting.

xboxrulz

Then again, you have to see that the Mac Mini's design dates back to 2005 while eeepc's design is circa 2007.xboxrulz

I would agree to Yordan on that since that's what I would consider double dipping or double posting which should not be allowed on Xisto since you already got the credits on Trap 17.xboxrulz

I think that's why many people came to Xisto and not Xisto. It's for the indepth technical discussions lol. That's what makes it a great community. Clean looks and professional service.xboxrulz

Welcome galexcd,Let me introduce myself, I'm xboxrulz, have been on the moderator team since 2007. Have been on board the (now known as) Xisto Network since 2004. (Xisto never existed back then nor did Xisto). I moved over to Xisto because I'm a techie myself and I couldn't post quality content on Xisto than i could on Asta.Now here I am, a moderator and claim numbero uno on the top poster list xD.Once again, welcome and enjoy your stay!xboxrulz

Usually that should be fine, I don't have any objection to that since you properly cited it. Then again, Xisto is also outside of my jurisdiction so I can't enforce anything that happens there even though I used to be there since it started (member 78 w00t =P).xboxrulz

ok, fixed it, had to change the date.timezone setting in my php.iniI changed it to America/Toronto and it fixed it.Thanks guys,xboxrulz

date is correct since the date is drawn from my Linux host. I'm using VirtualBox and I guess it set the date/time for me already.

 

I think the quote below something of interest from phpinfo().

 

date/time support enabled

Timezone Database Version 2005.18

Timezone Database internal

Default timezone UTC

 

Directive Local Value Master Value

date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667

date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333

date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333

date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333

date.timezone no value no value

Edit: I'm searching for my php.ini ... it's not in /usr/local ....

strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We had to select 'UTC' because your platform doesn't provide functionality for the guessing algorithm

PHPINFO gives me this error:

Warning: phpinfo() [function.phpinfo]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function.

Like Linux and other UNIX systems, the boot order can only be specified by the kernel since it only calls up the services it needs to run. All you can do is to specify what to turn on and off. The system has to decide the order by itself.xboxrulz

well, even though I'm a Mac fan, their previous Macbook design was filled with flaws, I had to had them replace my keyboard because it cracked by itself, keyboard keys click whenever I get a replacement. All in all, the aluminium unibody plus its glass surface should mean sturdier and less cleaning to do. The current glossy screens are a pain to clean.xboxrulz

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to set up a dummy server on a virtual machine. PHP, HTML, MySQL are all working. However, I ran into a slight PHP error as shown below:

 

 

Nexenta Core 1.0.1 (OpenSolaris 20080311, b85)

PHP 5.1.2

MySQL 5.0.22

Quicksilver Forums 1.4.2

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

xboxrulz

I guess we do need a review of these rules. In Yordan's word, I guess I fall under the "kind" one since I'm usually lenient (but doesn't mean I don't enforce it).xboxrulz
