This isn't so much about Linux today as about the internet. Just yesterday I had one of those moments where I wondered how I ever got through life when there was no internet.

Last November I decided to take up learning Russian. I went for the traditional approach first, got myself a couple of books for self-teaching and took off. Only the books wouldn't get me very far, and they did not quite fit my style of learning, which is more geared towards immersion and using a language rather...

Linux From Scratch rebuildathon: 64-bit edition.

Posted 02-21-2009 at 09:24 AM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

Every year or so, after the last variation of LFS was wiped from the system (it's just something I do for fun, so I do not keep important files on the partition I am building it on), I decide to rebuild Linux From Scratch so I can try to force education on my ignorant self. The main reason why I wipe LFS is because of problems that prop up from time to time and my lack of motivation to solve them (mostly something to do with GNOME, so I am going to avoid using it this time around).

How to generate password

Posted 02-21-2009 at 08:56 AM by ErV

Tags generate, howto, password, security

Generating password is simple:

password8.sh:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/urandom| tr -dc '0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*_+-'|head -c 8;echo
[/code]
This script generates 8 characters long password.
To change number of characters, replace 8 with other number.
'0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*_+-' defines character set used in password. If you need another charset, change this string to suit your needs.

problem installing fortran77 on suse11

Have you installed both the fftw and fftw-devel packages? Check where the include files and libraries have been installed:

Code:

$ rpm -ql fftw-devel | grep include
$ rpm -ql fftw-devel | grep lib

then try to specify the correct path using the environment variable LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS as suggested. For example:

Code:

$ export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib'
$ export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include'
$ ./configure

You don't really need to export these variables if the include files...
