all around trouble
Hi! Sorry, but I can't name the trouble. I got it when saving some documents. I scanned for virus but couldn't find none. The desktop started suddenly racing from left to right or from right to left or from up downwards, starting programs that I didn't want or the PC was simply shut down or hanging up. "Reporting a bug" doesn't work and the "tool for faults" either. I had just installed the new Ubuntu 8.04.1 and what me struck immidiatly that was that the little "clock" was always there and turning around. Before that I was using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS for 2 years without any problem until saving that damned document. And I guess that the shit was picked up when I downloaded 8.04.1. Please tell me what you need to know or what I can do. Thanks in advance Einar Schlereth ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

In HACKING If you have made *no* changes: git pull If you *have* made changes and committed them to "master", do this: git fetch git rebase origin OK, but add If you *have* made changes but *have not* committed them to "master", do this: As to what "this" should be, well I don't know.

problem finding mktemp in info file
Hello, "man mktemp" points me to info coreutils 'mktemp invocation' but no such node exists. The particular question was what does the following mean: -t interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated] is only the default with /tmp deprecated, or is any usage of -t deprecated? What shall I do instead of "mktemp -t foo.XX"? mktemp "$TMPDIR/foo.XX" ? Why? I hoped to find the answers for these questions in the info file. Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

After recent Ubuntu releases there have been several people who have been asking about Ubuntu questions on this GNU Coreutils mailing list. If you would be so kind could you tell us what has directed you to ask your question on this mailing list? We fear that there may be incorrect documentation pointing you here. If you would help us so that we could improve the directions it would help others. Thanks! You have reached the GNU Coreutils mailing list. The GNU Coreutils are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about GNU Coreutils here: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ The GNU Coreutils are part of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about the GNU Project here: http://www.gnu.org/ But you are asking about Ubuntu's applications. I am sorry but this is the wrong mailing list. We are unable to help you here. Since you are using Ubuntu then the Ubuntu users mailing lists would be a better source of information. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

The info you require is here: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils I guess chunks of that should be added to info. It's also worth noting that something that caught me out a few times, and I've noticed others with the same issue, is that if you copy and paste the command above from the man page, you won't get the page you require (even if present :)) as there will be curly quotes in it. Is there any way to markup example code so that 'blah' is not converted to ’blah’ ? cheers, Pádraig. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
Add concurrent I/O support to gnu dd
I'd like to suggest adding the ability to dd(1) to open the file in
concurrent I/O mode. This applies only to AIX systems and the JFS2
filesystem. I had a need to do this and was able to do it easily thanks
to the design of coreutils. As a sysadmin sometimes you have to open a
file in CIO mode because if any other program has the file open already
in CIO mode, the OS will not allow it to be opened in "normal" mode.
Also when using CIO mode, I/O that is not block-aligned is very slow.
This makes dd a good utility for copying data to/from files in CIO mode.
Anyway, here are some simple patches to coreutils and gnulib that give this
capability to dd.
Thanks,
Matt Harden
