Linux OS Dev Help

I have a server running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I have a directory with a number of jpg files taken with an IP camera. I am trying to concatenate the jpg files into a single mpg video file using ffmpeg with the following command:

ffmpeg -f concat -i /tmp/myjpegs /tmp/myvideo.mpg

I get the error message:
/tmp/myjpegs: Invalid data found when processing input

There is nothing else in the /tmp/myjpegs folder apart from the sequence of jpg files.

This the the output from the command:

libavutil 55. 78.100 / 55. 78.100

Learn Ruby Fundamentals

LVL 13

This course will introduce you to Ruby, as well as teach you about classes, methods, variables, data structures, loops, enumerable methods, and finishing touches.

My Dell computer does not boot. When I turned it on this morning, it got as far as the splash screen listing the hard drives and ctrl-I to enter configuration. It froze at that point. When I switched it off then on again it did not even get as far as the splash screen. The LED on the front that normally flashes does not do so. I tried a hard drive with Ubuntu on it, but it still did not boot.

There are no enabled repos.
 Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
 You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>

Any ideas?

Refer to attached TrendMicro's Interscan proxy VM (a custom Linux)
that shows spurious memory shortage.

Have allocated 32GB to the VM & with only 2 users accessing, already
getting these memory messages : plan to roll out to 500 users.

What can be done to address this? Increase swap space or RAM?
Or there's something to tune? Hopefully don't have to switch to
another type of proxy.

As this is a bundled free product, quite difficult to get support.

Btw, what's the default root password when it's first set up?

AWS Design help

AWS Design help

I have a Ubuntu server (basically a LAMP stack) hosted on Linode. There's a PHP script that gets heavy usage that I'd like to move to AWS (along with the DB it uses).

I was thinking of putting the PHP Script on AWS Elastic beanstalk and having it connect to an Aurora auto scaling MYSQL database. Most of the PHP script does read operations with the exception of a call to increment a hit counter.

How do I go about keeping the master database (on linode) and the AWS RDS Aurora database in Sync so I can offload the heavily-used PHP script

Or am I completely going about this the wrong way .. please advise

force ubuntu/debian netinstall to use a specific variant of debian-installer

i've run into various changing bugs with the udeb distribution.
over the time, the ubuntu maintainers change stuff and in the end there is no way to get something reliable.
installs became sluggish since a kernel hange in january, now thy switched to a new version of glibc ( 2.23-0ubuntu11 with the introduction of known bugs dating from years ago ) which breaks the installer by producing segfaults.

does any of you know a way to use an older version of udeb in preseed ?

i know i can setup my own debian mirror, but i'd need to mirror both the udeb and the deb part. i'm ok to mirror udeb alone if that is feasible but AFAIK preseed only offers a single choice for package sources. maybe there is a way to use local files i can grab on an older ISO for udeb only ?

ideas ?

btw, i'm installing ubuntu-xenial should that matter.
yes i know it is outdated. no i do not currently have a choice in this case. please do not discuss that point.

thanks for your help

Hi Experts,

I get a bad gateway when running the web application from docker.

I had installed nginx inside the docker container.

for eg,

docker gateway is 1.2.3.4

public ip is 4.3.2.1

I create the environment for the docker container

declare -a ntdl_environment=( -e ES_CONNECTION=1.2.3.4:9200 -e DATABASE=postgres://user:****@1.2.3.4/ntdl -e LOCAL_URL_PREFIX==https://ntest-dev.s3.amazonaws.com -e IIIF_SERVER=http://4.3.2.1/iiif -e FACEBOOK_APP_ID=000000 -e CLOUD_WATCH=true -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=akz44 -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=******** -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-abct-2 -e S3_BUCKET=abc-test-dev -e GENERIC_SERVER_NAME=http://4.3.2.1 -e SEARCH_PATH=/ -e SEARCH_DOMAIN=http://4.3.2.1 -e HANDLE_SITEMAP_PATH=https://s3-test.amazonaws.com/ntest/sitemap/sitemap.txt.gz -e DEBUG=true)

I had run the following commands to run the docker container

docker run --name ntdl -d --restart always ${ntdl_environment[@]} f27af16c9ed6

to go inside bash shell for the docker container i had run the follow command from command prompt

I need to copy a file from one Ubuntu server to another.

They are two servers in the same AWS VPC and are in the same Public Subnet. They are both running Ubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, respectively).

I've opened up the Security Group for BOTH Server using Port 22. I also confirmed that openSSH is running by using this command "ps -A | grep sshd" and seeing process ID's.

I created a Text file for testing.

Here's the command I used to copy between servers:

scp ubuntu@**.*.**.***:/usr/local/thomtesttext.txt ubuntu@**.*.**.***:/usr/local/testtext.txt

Open in new window

This is the error I'm seeing:

ssh: connect to host **.*.**.*** port 22: Connection timed out

What am I doing wrong? How can I get an AWS Ubuntu Server to copy files between them?

Thanks for your help!

Have 2 ubuntu installations on Oracle VM. They are in the same version. I ran the same python script against its own ubuntu in the exactly same way. Ran well on one, but got the error on the other one below:
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'x'".
I knew the one without error was installed more packages, but I did not remember which more packages were installed. Under this condition, how to troubleshoot this issue? Can any gurus shed some light to it? Thanks a lot.

I need to backup a Ubuntu 18.04 server. I use Storage Craft for all backups but they do not have anything that can backup that version of Linux. I need to find a product that can backup that server.

I am not a Linux tech so I would prefer something where I can install the backup agent on Linux and manage it from a Windows server. I also want it to backup the entire image of the server so I can restore it if necessary.

Can someone recommend a good product for that. Preferable one that is not expensive
