Try echo * If that gives you something then ssh is not setting your environment. also use the full path for the utilities. Ie /bin/ls should work.

OK, this is very puzzling. I ssh into my laptop from my laptop and df and mount do not list this drive as mounted! I have two nfs mounts that autofs mounts and they show up. I can even manually mount the backup drive in the ssh session on the same directory it is mounted from xterm shell. I'm confused as to what is going on. --- Talk Mailing List talk(a)gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk

Can't list directory contents
by Randy Jonasz 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Hey everyone, I have the strangest problem. At home I have a manjaro laptop that has a mounted encrypted drive on /mnt/backup. At home I can cd into the directory and ls its contents. From work, when I ssh in from another manjaro laptop I cannot see the mounted drive. Is there something I can do to "fix" this? Thanks! Randy

In "managing infrastructure with puppet" they defines users in manifests. I've seen user rpms. How do you do it.

File Permission Nusance
by Stephen 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

I have Apache running on my system for web development with php. Apache writes to an error.log file unique for the specific web site that I am working on. During debugging the log file grows, and I like to clear it every now and then. I had to change ownership of the file to me. I five read/write to everyone. But when I truncate the file and save, Apache no longer writes to it. The Apache error logs do not indicate a problem. I restart Apache and all is good again. But this is a nuisance. Is there a way to avoid this nuisance? Thanks -- Stephen

Debian user[add|del] and [add|del]user
by Ivan Avery Frey 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

In Debian useradd and userdel are low level utilities and their man pages recommend that administrators use adduser and deluser. I've found a way to differentiate between the low level utilities and the recommended ones. The low level utilities use "Latin" order where the verb component comes after the object and the recommended commands the other way around. So the recommended commands' syllables' order matches that of our everyday language while the low level utilities' syllables' order matches that of a "dead" language.

PCI Slot Fan Seeker

Okay... So this maybe silly, but does anyone have one or more of these kicking around their parts bins? Ultra PC Vent II System Exhaust with 2 - 45mm Fans http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6… Had two of these come into my possession (in retro sea-foam green!) from one of Hacklab's Junk Independence days. They were surprisingly the perfect cooling solution for keeping even temperatures in my NAS boxes. From the research I can find, the company that had these produced has been out of business for some time. And so the best I can find is singles on ebay. I also suspect these may be also lurking on dusty shelves of the some of the college street computer shops. Anyways, looking to get my hands on another, and if it's taking up space with someone, let me know! I'll give it a good home. -- Scott Sullivan

[OT] first stanza in css not understood
by Paul King 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi Sorry if this is off-topic, but I have been scratching my head for hours and have been frustrated with this error. I am writing this code just for myself. The first stanza in my css code which I moved from HTML to an external css file does not appear to be read at all. This appears to happen whatever the first stanza is, and I have tried moving them around. All other CSS tags are understood, but only if they do not appear in the first stanza. I can give the first two stanzas including the lines above it (all comments). Doesn't look like there is anything wrong here to me, although there is a bit of repetition. Paul ------------------CSS CODE BELOW----------------------------- // Cascading stylesheet for form elements such as buttons // "equal" and "clear" are two class names I gave for form buttons .equal { background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green */ border: 2px solid black; color: white; padding: 4px 7px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; width: 50px; } .equal:hover { background-color: #aefe41; color: black; } .clear { background-color: #FF0000; /* Red */ border: 2px solid black; color: yellow; padding: 4px 7px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; width: 50px; } .clear:hover { background-color: #FFABAB; color: black; }

Lessee now... If I run Windows in a virtual machine, as I do now, then I'd have Linux running on Windows running on Linux. I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad! :-) http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubunt…
