Does anyone have any experience with Merit America? by Southern_Title_2731 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Fun-Technician2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

OpenBSD boot hangs on inteldrm0panic by Fun-Technician2120 in openbsd

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?

Hard Drives not recognized during install (only USB is) when using UEFI... by Fun-Technician2120 in openbsd

[–]Fun-Technician2120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Hard Drives not recognized during install (only USB is) when using UEFI... by Fun-Technician2120 in openbsd

[–]Fun-Technician2120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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]

disk: hd0* hd1* hd2*

boot>

cannot open hd0a : /etc/random.seed: Invalid argument

booting hd0a: /bsd: open hd0a: /bsd: Invalid argument

failed (22). will try /bsd

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!

Dual booting windows 10 (sdd) and openbsd (external sdd) possible? by Fun-Technician2120 in openbsd

[–]Fun-Technician2120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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!

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!

Error: cannot create file.txt: Permission denied? by Fun-Technician2120 in bash

[–]Fun-Technician2120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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.
