Comment on Randomizing (spoofing) MAC address in Fedora 16 linux by Marcio

Marcio — Mon, 06 May 2013 07:25:04 +0000

Hello folks!

Well, I had researched a lot on the web looking for this, and it really worked for me with a little modification in the final part for Fedora 18.

I did as shown here and had found another script with a different purpose for Fedora 18, and checked how it worked to put the stuffs working.

Like this here:

Make the script executable

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/dan
Link into rc3.d

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
# ln -s ../init.d/macchangerd S04macchangerd

# reboot

And it worked fine like an atom clock for me!

Here is the link for the person I had copied the stuffs from.

Thanks to you and to the other bro of the link above for the help! Thank you very much!

I got the purple monster after a recovery from partition on a HP pavillion with vista .I called the support number and someone in India named Haboob said my motherboard was bad ,but they would fix it for free.They sent a box and paid for shipping.Sent it out and it was back in 3 days operating . I couldn’t get on the net to research it . Is there something you can do to keep this from happening again ?

When the screen comes up that tells you about the code purple, do this:
Hold shift key and press f10
Type this below in command prompt with spaces like shown

chdir C:\hp\bin\CheckDMI

press enter
Now, type:

dir

press enter

10. You’ll see a bunch of rubbish text…but the important thing to notice is the file CheckDMI.cmd…this file here is THE SOURCE of your code purple problem. So…to make the file permanently disabled, type:

rename CheckDMI.cmd CheckDMI

press enter.

11. To make sure the file has been successful renamed, type:

dir

press enter.

12. The file should now be changed. Exit out of command prompt and restart your computer. And walaa…

13. You’re done! Congrats…you just successfully fixed your Code Purple problem. Now you don’t have to waste half a month of shipping your computer back and forth from an HP tech shop to get it “repaired for free”

All – first off, my wife works for HP and I did not get any better treatment than the rest of you. I too had to call HP tech support, got someone in India who proceeded to tell me I needed to buy another computer – mine is only 4 years old. Looking thru all of the suggestions, #168 worked for me. I just happened to have a USB to SATA cable adapter, so I took out the hard drive, plugged it into my laptop and deleted the “HP” folder. Reinstalled the hard drive into the desktop, turned it on and Vista completed the install – all is good. I hate to hear everyone is having all of these issues considering HP is providing half of our household income.

Yes, that Cramer piece is a gem. Big surprise…state laws (almost all Southern) want to disarm blacks. Like slaves were here voluntarily as if on some sort of guest worker program. Yes, the travesty is the gun control laws…used as a tool of their racism, but not, you know, the involuntary enslavement of people.

So while it is convenient for you to cry racism about possible legislation that will apply TO EVERYONE based upon well established history Southern whites oppressing blacks…it doesn’t hold water.

And, no, the NRA is out of touch with its members. Most NRA members, for example, support robust background checks on gun purchases…all the while Wayne LaPierre froths the party line of gun manufacturers.
