  • Belkin G Wireless Router

    Today I got a new router, a Belkin G Wireless Router, the F5D7234-4 to be precised.

    I have been looking for the IP address of the device for 30 min. I is actually specified on page 26 (i.e. the Alternate Setup Method area). The IP address is 192.168.2.1.

    Very annoying since my server is also 192.168.2.1. In other words, I cannot talk with my server to that darn thing!

    Well... I'll do it from another computer, but quite annoying, if you ask me!

  • Copying a partition

    Copying an entire partition to another when both are not of the exact same size (in blocks) can be tricky, especially if that partition includes special files such as /dev/hda and FIFOs.1

    Yet, there are several ways to do so:

    • 1. Note that was the case especially in the 90's. As of today, things have come a long way and there are command line options one can use with the cp and tar instructions to copy pretty much anything. You will still have problems with some files such as locks, though. But you should not have to copy them!

  • GRUB error 16

    [vtoc title=Boot Sector; minlevel=1; maxlevel=4;]

    Error 16

    Today I got an error 16 with GRUB on one of my machines. This had happened before so I did not worry too much. It is just quite annoying.

    Ubuntu CD

    A Ubuntu boot CD has a cool feature one can use to rescue such a system (i.e. re-install GRUB properly.) More or less, boot the CD, select the rescue mode, let it do its things for a moment (after you select options like keyboard, etc.)

  • Installing an Ubuntu Server & more

    1.0) Getting the OS

    First go to http://www.ubuntu.com and get the latest version you're interesting in. They offer server version that they support for 5 years or so. I suggest one of those if you want to run a server. This is an ISO, in generate around 600Mb so be ready to wait a few hours... Even with a really fast connection, because the transfer will be limited by the mirror in most cases.

  • Installing RAID under Ubuntu

    Well, first... what is RAID?

    Loads of very detailed info are available on Wikipedia. Just in case, it means: Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

    How to install your system to be able to boot from any Operating System

    Problems

    Problems with booting... numerous emails & posts about this one, that's for sure!!! Real solutions? Not really... In many cases people end up reinstalling their system from Scratch and once in a while even that doesn't work! But smart people have a way to fix their boot sectors without too much hurdle (instead of the hours it takes to install an OS.)

  • Sensors

    For a long time now I've been looking for a way to check out the temperature of my computer while Linux is running. I had heard about ways to do it but never actually knew how to make it work.

    After quite some research, I found a tool used to show all sorts of status on your computer. The author said something about the temperature of the processors and thus I read on. I downloaded the lastest version. Compiled it and got lucky (i.e. it worked right away!). I started it and... hmmm... no temperature.

  • Substitute a drive letter for a path

    If you are using a folder much, then you can create a substitute using the subst command in a shell. This command will assign a path to the given letter and the result is something which looks like you had an additional hard drive.

    The Error: pivot_root not found

  • dump

    The dump command, under a Unix system, is used to dump the entire file system to another device. By default, the dump output device is a tape device (/dev/tape). Now a day, however, it is often used with other devices such as another file system (from one hard drive to another.)

    Other systems use that same keyword. It is particularly the case of database systems. For instance, the PostgreSQL database has a pg_dump command.

    The opposite command is restore. That command is used to get the data from the output device and put it back on your hard drive.
