qtguru: Hi qtguru, I was gifted a laptop BUT it didn't come with any OS. Please, how do I install Linux on it? |
qtguru(m): 6:05pm On Feb 06, 2022 |
Ayrastarr: Linux.iso , ensure to have a USB Drive and also another tool called Rufus on Windows, once the iso s then you can make a bootable USB Drive, oce the drive is plugged, it will self-boot into the setup and you can just install, what is the spec of the system ? |

Find all files in /var/log that contain the string “Erased” and copy them to the directory /root/search/6/erased c. Find all lines that start with the string “name” in the file /proc/crypto and save the output to /root/search/6/crypto.txt Input will be appreciated |

Ayrastarr: It's very easy actually. You need to have a USB stick (USB drive). It should be 4gb minimum. There are many different types of Linux. These are called Distributions or Distros for short. As a new , I'd recommend you go for kubuntu or zorin or Linux mint. The above Distros are very close to windows in look and will work as normal after installation. I'd recommend kubuntu as your first choice, it's quite stable. Anyways, which ever Distros you Decided to chose, it to your system (this will be tricky since you don't have an os on your system, it's best you get windows on it first or borrow a laptop to it). After ing the os, install a bootable disk maker. I'd recommend balena etcher, it's easy and straightforward. and install balena etcher on the system you are using. Now plug in your USB drive and open the balena app. Click on 'flash from file', choose the iso file, select target location which will be your USB and then click on flash. It'll take some time to flash. After flashing, remove the disk and plug it in your system. It'll boot from the USB drive and you can try the Linux app or choose install and it'll be installed. 1 Like |

saxwizard:Ok no problem I have made modification to the answer cause I don't know what that question b is asking exactly. |
saxwizard(m): 9:49am On Feb 07, 2022 |
Deicide: Thank you. can you take a look at these ones too 1. a. Find all files and directories in /etc that start with “a” or “b” and copy them to the directory /root/found/8/permissions while preserving their permissions. b. Find all files in /etc that are greater than 1MB and save their absolute paths to the file /root/found/8/big-files.txt c. Find all files in /etc not owned by root and copy the files to /root/other_s 2. Create the following s with the following details - If the supplemental groups listed do not exist, create them. a. bob - Supplemental Group engineers - PW: cent6 b. tim - Supplemental Group webdev - PW: cent6 c. ben - Supplemental Group chemical - PW: cent6 d. All s created must expire one year from today. e. Set the bob’s default shell to zsh f. Set the tim’s default home directory to /shadow-soft - if this directory does not exist, create. Apply the same SELinux contexts and permissions to /shadow-soft that would be found on a 's /home directory such that Tim and only Tim will have access to /shadow-soft |

saxwizard:Wouldn't it be better if you do research yourself to know how to answer this questions? That way you would understand what am doing. Anyways. ls /etc | egrep "(a|b)" | xargs -I {} -p {} /root/found/8/permissions/ find /etc -size +1M -exec readlink -f {} \; > /root/found/8/big-files.txt find /etc -not - "root" -exec {} /root/other_s/ \; |

Deicide: Yes. I have some answers but for some i am not getting the desired result. for example see this question Create a bash shell script named certscript.sh under /home/student/apps/. ● Make sure the script can be invoked as ./certscript.sh. ● The first line of output from the script should consist of the name of the who invoked it. ● The second line of output should contain the IP address of the default gateway. my solution echo my name is &whoami echo my Gateway IP is & ip r | grep default I want a result like my name is saxwizard and my gateway is 192.168.1.1 |
Deicide: 12:34pm On Feb 07, 2022 |
saxwizard:Solution certscript.sh #!bin/sh env NAME=$(whoami) IP=$(ifconfig | grep inet | awk 'NR == 2 { print $2 }') echo "my name is $NAME and my gateway is $IP" chmod +x certscript.sh For accuracy of IP address you have to send me the output of ifconfig |

I can, but the resources I'm using suggested Linux.

Question: I got a new system which came with ubuntu, my hard drive is from my old Windows system, it recognises it but it doesn't display files, is there any way to make it show the videos? Or I have to use VMs and install windows there

Gargoylesmiles(m): 8:11am On Mar 08, 2022 |
ceejey17: I am guessing this is a desktop system? How did you connect your old Windows PC to the system? |
Solanaa: 7:59pm On Apr 03, 2022 |
Can someone quickly highlight the uses of this linux and ubuntu? I really wish to learn more about it. |
Gargoylesmiles(m): 12:16am On Apr 04, 2022 |
Solanaa:Whatever it is you currently do with your computer running Windows or Mac OS you can do same on Linux. |
