I'm running Debian Lenny on a system with an AMD Athlon II 240 CPU. I'm installing KVM on my Debian system (fully updated) following this walkthrough. After installing the Xen kernel and rebooting, I attempt to install kvm and get the following error: slinky:/home/user# aptitude install kvm...

I would like to create a folder that says the date for the day before. I know I can: mkdir foldername-`date +%m.%d.%Y` But that will only give me today's date. Does anyone know how to do a similar run the command with similar output but with the date for the day before?

Does anyone know of a command in Red Hat based Linux distros that lists software with a version number in a user friendly format? I am aware that I can use rpm -qa But the output is like bind-libs-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 And I would like it to output more like Debian's method of: dpkg -l...

Who remembers Serious Sam? Well, it looks like there will be a new one coming out in fall of 2009. Its the same game with updated graphics so you don't have to worry about them ruining the legacy. Official Site I was interested. Thought you guys might be too!

Ok, so here goes... I built my brother a computer with Vista Home Premium which he is hooking up to a new LCD TV. The computer is being hooked up to the TV by using a DVI to HDMI adapter attached to the video card and then running an HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV. The video is...

Preface: I recently replaced my motherboard in my main system with a Gigabyte GA-G22M-S3L due to several problems including random reboots, faulty RAM slots, and optical drive problems (DMA mode could not be enabled). My problem: After replacing my motherboard, I am now getting audio cd...

Recently, a friend of mine introduced me to dd-wrt. For those of you who dont want to RTFA, it is basically linux for many popular wireless/wired routers (ie: linksys, netgear, dlink, etc). It includes many features that come with more popular Linux firewall distros, only it runs much lighter to...

Well, to start, I haven't updated my packages recently. I decided to go ahead and aptitude update && aptitude upgrade For god knows what reason, the system hangs unpacking or installing tzdata. It says "No userspace suspend support in kernel" and in the same message says "current kernel doesn't...

So I posted in here a month or two ago asking people's opinions on what chasis to get for my new build, which have slowly been building up money for and I happen to be coming upon a fairly large chunk of change so I'm hoping to get quite a bit more of my system. Here is what I have so far...

Well, the time has come... I have decided to build a new computer. The only catch is I am building it piece by piece so I can actually afford to do it and having each part will motivate me to finish it.. So, the first part I want to get is the chassis. Basically, I want it to be fairly spacious...

So since I almost never reboot my system, I dont know how long this problem has been going on, but when I do reboot, my system (Debian etch), does not boot into X. It just hangs on the blank screen. Nvidia is working fine and no matter how many times I restart kdm, it is still the same problem...

For my Unix administration class, one of the assignments for the midterm is to backup our hdd to another hdd using the command "dump" I dont know how many of you are familiar with this program or BSD, but I cannot seem to get the dang thing to dump to the slave Hdd. Right now, I am using the...

Does anyone know of any good programs for teaching young kids to type? I know I can just go to download.com and find several, but I want to know if there are any that some of you have tried and work well. Thanks in advance for any help. -Fred

The hardware in question: Asus Motherboard Athlon 64 3000+ Kingston RAM Seagate HDD The history: About a month ago, there were a lot of storms in my area... which included some power outages and power surges. The system above, which i built for my brother, had to go through all of this without...

Just thought I'd share my experience: Well, I haven't been playing very many video games lately.. probably a couple of weeks between 30 minute World of Warcraft sessions. So I logged on WoW one day and about 30 seconds in, I got artifacts accross my entire screen and the system seemed to have...

Alright, so my brother has decided to have me build him a computer. The computer is really not for gaming at all and doesn't have to be very impressive in the least. To put it in perspective, he is building the computer for ebay and told me that although he's building it for that, he wants...

I am currently working on a Gateway Mx7118 laptop. I installed Mandriva 2006 and it picked up everything perfectly. Well, except the integrated wireless card, which to my understanding needs a driver "WMIB-158." I have tried to create a new wireless connection, and it is not supported by any of...

I managed to get a friend of mine converted to Linux recently and installed Mandriva and lots of helpful extras... One thing he was concerned about was whether he would be able to play Itunes files in Linux and if he'd still be able to transfer them to his Ipod. Now I'm no huge fan of Mac or...

I'm not sure if this should be under Windows section or networking, but here it is: Im working on my brother's very sad windows box. Haven't bothered to check what all the hardware is, but it's all pathetic and i just upgraded them from Windows 98 1st edition to Windows 98 SE. Here's the problem...

I just thought I'd mention that I think all those new (they are new, right? :x: ) options at the top of the page following "please" are helpful. Well... I know that the unanswered threads one has been around at least a little while. So uhh.. yeah, appreciate the work Sniper! :good:
