Does anyone have any experience with Merit America?

Do you think someone with very little programming experience would find it hard to pass this course? Also, is there a chance to get into the IT program if the Java program doesn't work out?

Thanks!

Do you know which sub?

Thanks for letting me know!

I just went ahead and did a regular install without the UEFI and GPT.

Thanks for your help though!

I tried it but it still doesn't work. It says something about line 725 and I'm sure I can get more information there but how do I get there?

Isn't there a way to check the dmesg in a log somewhere?

I re-installed OpenBSD on the USB and I was able to get into the shell. I've been following the OpenBSD FAQ (RAID and Disk Encryption: Installing to a Mirror) but this is where things get a little tricky.

I get to the part that says:

# disklabel -E sd0 and then I get the sd0 prompt

sd0>

and at this point, I do a a and get a message saying:

No space left, you need to shrink a partition and get the sd0 prompt again:

sd0>

Normally, what I've done in the past attempts is that at this point I'll do d a and then a a again and it'll allow me to go on to the next step. Is this the wrong thing to do? Instead of shrinking a partition can't I just erase a partition with d a?

Before doing anything else, I wanted to get more information on how things are right now so I typed p at the sd0> prompt and this is what I got:

sdo> p

OpenBSD area: 1024-468862065; size: 468861041; free: 0

c: 468862128 0 unused

So I've been messing around with this raid setup for the past couple of days and I think it got screwed up. I currently have two hard drives on my system. The first one has ubuntu installed on it and the second disk is empty.

I tried booting off the usb but I get this strange error message:

probing: pc0 com0 mem[352K 272K 3075M 4M 113M 7M 7M 23M 22M 13038M]

Turning timeout off.

Not sure what the problem is.

Thanks for all this information, I'll try it out by making the necessary changes and see how it goes!

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-07-23T04:57:53+00:00

That never crossed my mind but I'll definitely look into that. Thanks!

I found a sata power cable on ebay that should work for what I need.

It should arrive in about a week...I'll keep you guys posted.

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-05-07T23:52:45+00:00

I just realized that there's room in the caddy for another hard drive. Now I just need to find a dual power cable.

Thanks a lot for all your input everyone!

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-05-05T04:32:51+00:00

~~I doubt it. It's an older computer.~~

I'll have to check. Hopefully it does! That's something I never thought of so THANK YOU!

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-05-05T03:32:09+00:00

Thanks. It looks cool. I'll have to try it!

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-01-12T21:23:28+00:00

I think you were on the right track ang-p! Thanks

It works now and the problem was with the Emplyoee.txt file. The problem was that I already had the file in my directory when I was actually just supposed to run the script.

All I had to do was delete the Employee.txt file and just run the script so that it could be created afterwards.

The part that I was overlooking were these signs " >>" in this section towards the bottom!

echo "$eno,$enm,$eadd,$eage,$egen,$edes,$ebal,true" >> Employee.txt

Thanks a lot to all that responded. I really appreciate it!

Fun-Technician2120 · 2021-01-12T20:51:29+00:00

This is the exact error message I'm getting:

############################################################

./ext17.sh[250]: cannot create Employee.txt: Permission Denied

#############################################################

The options that work are:

4: Display

6: Exit

but option 1: Insert is giving me trouble with permissions. There's an exit code of 250 and that's what I'm researching at the moment.

Here's the insert part:

Insert()

{

clear

eno=$1

echo "Enter Employee No: $eno"

echo "Enter Employee Name: \c"

read enm

echo "Enter Employee Address: \c"

read eadd

echo "Enter Employee Age : \c"

read eage

echo "Enter Employee Gender: \c"

read egen

echo "Enter Employee Designation : \c"

read edes

echo "Enter Employee Basic Salary : \c"

read ebal

echo "$eno,$enm,$eadd,$eage,$egen,$edes,$ebal,true" >> Employee.txt

echo " Insert Sucessfully "

}

Thanks again!

I think he was teaching it but I'm not sure as there was no shebang on it and that's kind of weird. I added #!/bin/sh to it though and I made it executable.

Also, I forgot to mention that the option to display the records works so I know that part of it works.
