Problems with Linux Mint 17.1
by Chris Walker 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hopefully somebody can help me with this one. One of sons has given the other son a Shuttle PC. He installed a couple of discs, set up LVM to make them appear as one and installed Linux Mint 17.1. All good so far. He couldn't do all the updates as his broadband wasn't quick enough so I offered to do those as number 2 son is staying with me for a few days. Next I thought I'd install all the usual stuff as he's going to be using the machine to feed content to his tv. That's where the fun begins.… [View More]

Network drawing tools - any [good] Linux ones?
by Chris Green 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Are there any Linux network drawing tools? I don't really want a full-blown Network Management solution like OpenNMS or Nagios, I just want an easy way to map my home network that doesn't require me to do it all manually. -- Chris Green

Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems
by Barry Samuels 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

I get the error message in the subject line every time my computer starts. It's running Debian Testing/Jessie 64 bit. There seems, however, to be nothing wrong. If I run 'systemctl status systemd-remount-fs.service' I get the following: ● systemd-remount-fs.service - Remount Root and Kernel File Systems Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-remount-fs.service; static) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-12-10 12:23:12 GMT; 6h ago Docs: man:systemd-remount-fs.… [View More]

Firefox 34 and FlashStopper
by Bev Nicolson 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Help. I upgraded to Firefox 34 but since Flashblock doesn't work with it (boo) I've got FlashStopper instead, which I have to say, is not quite as good. How can I stop it auto-playing Vine gifs? I have tried to do this pro-actively without any joy. Ta. Bev.

Low powered server machines - I've just bought one
by Chris Green 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

You may remember I've been mumbling and muttering about where and how to find low powered motherboards and/or complete systems for use as servers (disk NAS plus other services). I've just bought one of these:- http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/product_detail/15265/Fujitsu-EsPrimo-P910-… I got an extra 10% off (easy, just look for Morgan promotions) so it cost me about £276. It's excellent, silent most of the time as the fans don't run unless you work it hard and, even better, the idle … [View More]

"Simple" awk/sed job (not simple enough for me!)
by Mark Rogers 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

I have some Excel files that contain some useful information (hard to believe I know!). I want to extract just that information. Somewhere in the file it will say something like "Location: Blah" and I want to capture just "Blah". I can use xls2csv to turn the XLS into text and then run that through (eg) awk. Because the XLS field in question will now be in quotes, the following gets me the whole "Location: Blah" value: xls2csv myfile.xls | grep -oE '"Location:([^"]+)"' What I want is … [View More]
