University Of Utah New Student Trying To Start Kernel Development

Hi guys,

i'm beginner with Unix, I tried my best, but I Really don't know how to finish it .

here's my problem : I have to do something like Student system - student's name | subjects | mark |credits.

after starting script it will ask you for Student's name, then which subject, then the mark will appear.

It's a homework, and I have my own idea how to solve it, but cannot finish it, i don't want complete solution, just a help!

Code:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Students name"
echo -n "Enter student's name: "
read name
echo
case $name in
Example1|Math) echo "C" ;;
Example2|Programming) echo "D" ;;
Example3|WWW) echo "A" ;;
Example4|Economie) echo "-" ;;
esac

I don't now how to bring together case with second things which is "enter subject".

I appreciate any help

Hey guys, I am trying to find the best lightweight OS for my asus eee pc seashell series which I mainly use for programming; nothing heavy of any sort, just simple programs written in c++ and java for projects and stuff, I have my main pc for android studio and whatnot.

I'm currently using windows 7 ultimate 32-bit and it gets quite slow when I'm running netbeans + oracle sql and a couple of documents and web browsers etc.

Specs:
•Intel Atom N570 Dual core
•Intel GMA 3150
•2GB RAM

I have used Ubuntu 2 years ago for about a year, other than that I don't know anything about Linux distros. I have researched a few distros yet still skeptical about satisfying my needs especially the programming part.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I'm planing to join the development team of Linux kernel. As the first step, I started to clone git repo of the linux-next that I found two contradictory tutorials:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html

https://github.com/gregkh/kernel-tut...rnel_patch.txt

Which one should I follow?

Thanks.

Hey i am new to Linux student any suggestions for distros? any tips are appreciated.

Hi I am new to linux kernel programming.

To debugging kernel I am using Debian-Squeeze.

Actually "apt-get install gcc" occur some errors in Debian

When I use ifconfig there is no ethernet so that I guess Internet is

unavailable even if there is internet connection

Below is my screenshot from terminal.

Please somebody help me.

Thanks.

I'm new to linux but I use linux a little at school and by connecting through a shell at home. Anyways, I just installed linux a little while ago and I opened a shell and tried to compile some java code by going to the directory of the code and typing "javac someCode.java" like I do at school but it says the command is not found.

I previously had installed the java runtime environment and I just went to go and try to install the java development kit but it says it was already installed.

Is there some sort of path I need to set for the shell to look for the java compiler? Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I have added aliases to my .cshrc file at school and I just found a bashrc file and csh.cshrc file in the /etc folder. Sorry, I'm really new to all of this. Anyways, I'm geussing I have to edit the bash file? Can anyone point me to a good tutorial of scripting for these files???

A few of my servers show that this user id has expired.

I know that this is the name of a user account and group account and if I check out /etc/passwd there is an entry under /sbin/nologin. And, if I check under say top -u nobody, I don't see anything running for that user account. However that is the extent of my knowledge on this user account.

Should I be concerned that the passwd for this account is expired or are there cron jobs/programs that rely on this account?

thanks

I have a USB fax modem, and it logs the following errors when turned on.

I know it is impossible to know for sure, but think it is hardware related? Any chance to salvage?

Also, what are the steps to start troubleshooting?

Thanks

Hi all

Im a major newbie when it comes to linux, so im hoping this problem is relatively simple.
Appologies if ive posted to the wrong section, im not quite sure if this is the right place but tbh i wasnt sure where the right section would be...

Im currently trying to install a deep learning package called Caffe (http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/inst...#prerequisites) on my university's linux server (it is for a project in one of my classes, have my lecturers full knowledge and consent to do so)

Unfortunately caffe has quite a few dependencies and even worse i do not have root access so i cannot install them properly

Ive been told i have to find a way to install to local directories under my account but am not entirely sure how to go about this (spent alot of time googling with no luck)

Most of the prerequisites i need are on RPM (redhats package manager), so essentially i just need to know how to use RPM without root,

what command do i need to do this? using the website RPMFind i was able to locate some of the packages i need to install ( one of which can be found here http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fe....fc23.src.html)
using info from this site, how would i go about using RPM, or is there a way to search RPM through the commandline?

the university is running redhat enterprise 6.6, if that makes a difference

Hi.
I am completely new in Linux and I'm trying to learn as much as I can while doing my job.

I am following directions from a wi-fi card vendor. In it, they require to download Fedora 13 to the laptop, which I have already done so. uname -a displays:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i868.PAE #1.

The directions ask to update the kernel with "yum install kernel-PAE". While connected to the internet, when I type that, the following error comes up:
Loaded plugin : presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora
Please verify its path and try again

What does it mean and what file do I need to update with the right path? Please, let me know what other information you need.
Thank you very much
