I have downloaded and installed Cygwin in Windows 8. I connected a USB device and was trying to access it in Cygwin environment.
On typing lsusb i am getting below error. It says lsusb command not found
-bash: lsubs: command not found
I googled and found out that we have to install usbutils if we want to use lsusb. I tried doing it by giving below command but later found out that there is no such package in cygwin package list.
apt-cyg install usbutils
Any idea how to check usb devices connected by giving lsusb in cygwin?
The following worked for me (Thanks to Juan Carlos Muñoz for pointing me in the right direction)
Run your cygwin setup (eg setup-x86_64.exe) - this is the setup, with which you installed cygwin.
Continue to the package selection and search for usbutils and install the one in the System category
Complete the setup.
Now you should be able to use lsusb.
The way to install packages in cygwin is through its setup.exe. Run setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe depending on your system (32 or 64-bit), and it will show you a list of packages you can install or update. I don't see usbutils, though. I see only a libusb that I have not installed.
Good luck with your search.

Using a virgin (but updated) version of Rocky Linux 8.5, I am trying to install VMware Workstation 16.2.1 (and others), but get compile errors during the first attempt to run, when vmmon and vmnet are being built.
All the proper, current headers from kernel-devel and kernel-headers are installed.
I tried upgrading to the 5.16.4 kernal at kernel.org, with all associated headers, and basically get the same errors.
"Unable to install all modules." i.e., vmmon and vmnet
Posts i have found with searching the net seem to indicate that there was a "back-port" of an upstream fix to Rocky that has affected the ability to build the loadable kernel modules necessary to run vmware - but i cannot confirm this is actually the problem that I am experiencing.
So i simply ask these questions: Can anyone (today) install VMware Workstation 16.2.1 (or any version), on a fresh install of Rocky Linux 8.5?
If so, would you please point me at your installation instructions, because I am unable to build "vmmon" and "vmnet" modules today (2022-01-04), that allow me to actually run virtual machines with vmware? (The kernel modules fail to compile and build.)
(and after 15 years of using stackoverflow i do not have the reputation to create a "rocky-linux" question tag...)
See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/689436/the-vmmon-and-vmnet-vmware-workstation-kernel-modules-fail-to-build-on-rocky-lin
mbubecek's instructions work for a variety of releases and should compile perfectly and run without issue, if you follow his instructions.
I have successfully used these methods at least a half dozen times with Rocky 8.5 and 8.6 with vmware workstation 16.1 up to version 16.2.1
NOTE: This error is NOT Rocky Linux specific. Also happens on some versions of RHEL 8 and CentOS 8.x I would also expect this "fix" to work on all of the other linux versions that are RHEL 8-derived.
I've been having difficulty with the same issue, and a colleague pointed me to check my kernel. This is our "official" resolution. See if the below works for you.
This is due to differences between the kernel and the source code for the VMWare modules, see here for more information. You can get the correct kernel modules, and build them by executing the following commands
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-16.1.0.tar.gz
tar -xf workstation-16.1.0.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-16.1.0/
make
sudo make install
If you get the error,
crosspage.c:53:16: fatal error: linux/frame.h: No such file or directory
The error is described here. The solution is to remove (i.e. comment out) the offending include file in crosspage.c After doing the sudo make install, it is a very good idea to restart you host.
You may need to manually insert the modules into the kernel the first time after running make install'. The kernel modules (vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko) will be found at /lib/modules//misc. The following set of command will do this:
cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc
sudo insmod vmmon.ko
sudo insmod vmnet.ko
The modules should be load automatically after a restart/reboot.
If you update vmware to a different version (say 16.2.1) you may need to this again. Just change the versions in the above commands. If you hit the update button on the splash-screen and failed to notice the version you are updating to, you can run `vmware -v' at a command prompt to get the version you updated to.
I need to have access to Virtualbox from within the WSL, I have tried to sudo apt-get install virtualbox but I end up with the following error:
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-3.4.0+.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
4.3.36_Ubuntur105129
Vagrant is now capable of detecting that it is running on WSL.
How to configure Windows and WSL to enable this feature is described on Vagrant website
They claim it's an advanced feature but the configuration seems quite straightforward.
Unfortunately, that will not work (at least for now), as explained here: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/549
I need to add new functionality to a chinese Linux-based time attendance clock. More specifically I need to make It SNMP capable, which is not available by factory default.
After some research I found a login:password which worked for the TelNet login and managed to get inside the system with root privileges.
The first thing I did was to figure out which Linux distro was It running:
cat /etc/issue throws this:
"PXA Linux Preview Kit
Kernel 2.6.29 on armv5tejl"
I did a quick google search and found that
"PXA Linux is a port of the Linux kernel for PXA based processor based devices and machines."
I dont understand why It's running a PXA Linux Preview Kit on an armv5tejl.
I gave no importance to this fact, and got to the next step: finding which package manager has this system:
I tried several commands:
apt-get, aptitude, rpm, dpkg, yum, slapt-get, ipkg, and several others. None of them worked.
I found that the system had Busybox installed. More specifically BusyBox 1.15.3. In this BusyBox I couldnt find any of those commands. I found that BusyBox does implement rpm and dpkg but this version doesnt have them.
The only command which seems to be "software installation related" I found was the command "install". From BusyBox docs:
"install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [source] dest|directory
Copy files and set attributes"
But probably it doesnt replace the package manager tool. I think that I need to get a way to install dpkg or rpm, and then use them to install the SNMP packages I want. As I read, the lowest level package installation tool is dpkg so I don't have a clue on where to begin.
Can someone give me some advice on how to approach this issue? How can I install a package with no package manager possiblities at all?
You won't be able to install additional software to that system via a package manager. Such devices aren't designed like that. The firmware that was shipped with the device is all there is. What would be the incentive of the device manufacturer to maintain a package repository with general purpose linux software?
But not all hope is lost. You can of course try to compile the needed software yourself (and by that extend the firmware). For that to work you will need a suitable ARM cross compiler (GCC). Via static linking your SNMP package won't have any dependencies to the library versions already on the device (so you don't need a sysroot matching the libraries on the device).
I'm trying to install the ia32-lib on my mac leopard osx 10.5.8 in order to be able to create some Android components like the SD card, the issue is that i get the following error:
E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs
so i thought it was an update issue and thus updated with:
sudo apt-get update
But still i get the same error,
another thing that i have noticed is that by running a cache scan like:
sudo apt-cache search ia32-libs
Nothing is returned, so the update actually did not fetch this library,
Have you ever experienced this? have some hints?
Unfortunately by looking around the web i have only found hints for Debian and Ubuntu.
Thank you,
OK:
1) You've got two threads open on the same question:
Hard time installing ia32-lib on mac osx
Android: Failed to create SD card
2) More to the point, I honestly think you're barking up the wrong tree.
I don't think you somehow need to get ia32-libs installed on Mac OSX. Heck, I don't even know if there is an ia32-libs for Mac OSX. Yes, It's necessary on some 64-bit Linux platforms. AFAIK, it is not necessary on 64-bit Mac OSX. Honest!
3) Please look at these links:

I've got some problem about bash.
Before today, my VPS (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) was using kernel 2.x. (Because it was upgraded from 11.04 and the boot options did not get updated.)
Today I want to use kernel 3.2 as the default kernel.
After modifying the grub config, I've successfully booted the VPS up in kernel 3.2. Using uname -r will show 3.2.0-24-generic instead of 2.x.y-z-generic now.
However, something wonky happened and I don't why.
Before the kernel change, if I type some unkown command, the shell will prompt me to use apt-get to install it. For example, I don't have bind9 installed, and when I try to run named, I will be prompted like this:
wzyboy#vermilion:~$ named
The program 'named' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install bind9
Sometimes when I make a typo, I will be corrected ("did you mean"):
wzyboy#vermilion:~$ namedd
No command 'namedd' found, did you mean:
Command 'named' from package 'bind9' (main)
namedd: command not found
However, after the kernel change, when I try to run named, the shell simply says:
wzyboy#natatio:/$ named
-bash: named: command not found
I think it may be something wrong with bash, but I don't know how to fix the problem. Can anybody help?
[SOLVED] Thanks! After installing command-not-found package, the problem is solved. However, I still don't why the package got lost after changing the kernel...
To enable those auto suggestions you need to ensure that you have command-not-found installed. It is usually automatically enabled via /etc/bash.bashrc if installed correctly.
