=OPS235 Assignment #1 -- Winter 2011='''Weight''': 5% of the overall grade
Weight'''Due Date''': 5% of the overall gradeWeek 7 (in class)
Due Date: Week after study week== Create a new virtual machine ==# It doesn't matter whether you use the Fedora Live CD or Installation DVD for this. (Check with # The virtual machine name and the hostname for the machine must be your Professor learn user ID.# The regular user you create during installation must also be your learn user ID.# Make sure that LVM is used for exact date). Due at the start your new system, "Use all space" should take care of classthat.
{{Admon/important|Backup Your Configuration Files|Before making any changes to your system configuration, backup the original configuration files into the <code>/backups</code> directory. The contents rest of that directory will this assignment should be considered during markingdone after the installation is completed successfully.}}
==Basic ChoresLVM/fstab ==# Add two more drives to your virtual machine, 1GB each.# Add your new drives to the existing volume group.# Create a new logical volume using all available space in the volume group, call it lv_extra# Create a directory named "extra" in your home directory.# Make a change to your fstab so that lv_extra can be mounted on that new directory when the command "mount /home/youruser/extra" is issued.# Make sure that the mount command can be issued successfully by your regular user.# Aso make sure lv_extra is not mounted automatically at boot.
'''Complete the following tasks on your system (4 points for each completed task).'''{{Admon/tip|Adding a Virtual Disk|To complete the first task you may need to create an additional virtual disk image for the <code>fedora2</code> virtual machine.}}== Package Management ==
#Setup your system so that Research the command <code>mount /a1rpm</code> -- executed by any user -- will attach the logical volume <code>lv_a1</code> from the volume group called <code>ops235and </code> (minimum 100 MB) to the mountpoint <code>/a1yum</code> (The volume should NOT be automatically mounted at boot time) #Setup your system login banner commands to say '''Free software: Free as in Freedom.''' (the user should see this on text-based virtual consoles before login to the system)#Setup your system login message to say '''Open Source is Changing The Computing World''' (to be displayed on all text-based virtual consoles after a successful login prompt)#Setup your system so that every user has a command alias called <code>deltemp</code> which will delete the contents of a directory called <code>~/tmp</code> ('''NOT''' the main <code>/tmp</code> directory!)#Setup the bash environment for the user '''root''' (and only '''root''') so that the prompt includes the current date.
# Verify the integrity of a package using <!-- ==Finding code>rpm</code> to see if any of its files have been altered since installation. (you will be asked to demonstrate this when your assignment is marked)# Add the [http://rpmfusion.org/ rpmfusion.org] repository to the yum configuration. (you will be asked to demonstrate installing a package from the rpmfusion repository when your way==assignment is marked)
'''Research on your Fedora system to come up with sets of commands to accomplish the following tasks :(5 points for each completed task)'''== Alternate Software Installation ==
#Display a list of all the files under Review the <code>/boot</code> directory and its sub-directories that have been created or modified within the last 4 hours.#Display a list of all the files under the <code>/etc</code> directory and all its sub-directories that have been created or modified today (since mid-night).#Display a list of all the files under the <code>/varyum group*</code> directory commands and all its sub-directories that were last accessed more than 4 days agouse them to:
Put each set of commands # Find and install the XFCE dektop environment discussed in a separate filethe following article: [http://www.osnews.com/story. Name the file for task (1) as ass1php/5478/XFce-4--A-Refreshingly-1, task (2) as ass1Solid-2, etc. It must be possible to run these script files simply by typing their name Desktop XFCE Review]# Do the rest of the assignment (set including the permissions appropriatelyassignment submission)while running XFCE. -->
==To sudo or not Review the procedures for compiling and installing software from source code and use them to sudo==:# Download and extract the source code for ISO Master.# Compile and install it (you will need gtk2-devel installed).# Now run it and have a look at the Help/About dialog box. You will have to change the contents of that box.# Edit the file about.c in the source you use earlier, and change "An application for editing ISO9660 images based on the bkisofs access library and the GTK2 GUI toolkit." to "An application used by YOURNAME for OPS235 Assignment 1".# Compile and install the application again, exactly the same way you did the first time. Your change should be simple enough that complicated bugs are unlikely.
Sudo is == Install a tool which enables specific users to run specific commands second Linux distribution as another user (such as "root").a Virtual Machine ==
'''Study * Create another virtual machine.* The virtual machine name and the man page hostname for the <code>sudo</code> command and:'''machine must be your learn user ID followed by -mint. For example asmith15-mint* Install Linux Mint in the new virtual machine.
#Update sudo's configuration file (using the proper program) to allow only your Learn account to run <code>sudo</code> for the following commands as <code>root</code>: (8 points)#*<code>mount</code>#*<code>fdisk</code>#*<code>passwd</code>#*<code>lsusb</code>#Create a new user called <code>helper</code> and allow only this user to run <code>sudo</code> for the following commands as ''your'' learn account: (4 points)#*<code>vi</code>#*<code>tail</code>== Submission ==
{{Admon/note|Bonus Option|Explain the hidden danger '''Due date:''' When you are ready for your assignment #1 to be marked, call over your instructor. Students that do not have ALL required information for instructor to mark their assignment #1 will automatically lose 20% of including "vi" in the sudo command list their assignment mark (abovededucted from total assignment mark calculation). Submit this at In that case you may show me your submission in the time second lab that week instead. Assignments submitted after that will receive a grade of 0, but must still be completed satisfactorily in-class marking as a well-written, typed, one-page paper with your name and LearnID at the top of order to pass the pagecourse.}}
