Subject: Why does the i7 processor report 8 cores?
Message-ID: <4D478DA3.40409@wowway.com>

I have an i7-860 processor in my computer.  Linux (and Windows) report 
it to have 8 cores available.  I checked on the specs of the chip and 
the specs say that it has 4 cores and 8 threads.  It seems that the OS 
is counting the treads as cores.  It really doesn't matter much but can 
somebody out there explain the discrepancy?

You are misunderstanding what "threads" means. The CPU supports
hyperthreading; each CPU core appears as 2 to the OS.

I think the thing is broken, so just send it to me and I'll live with it
thinking I have 8 cores. I wish my Athlon thought it had 8 cores.

Thanks.
I don''t think it is something related to my router cause my PC (windows)
works very well with no problems. Anyway I've already checked out new
firmware but no luck.

Bill, it's very simple. Your i7 is a quad-core processor, but each core
is capable of running 2 independent threads. Thus, the system reports
that it is capable of running 8 separate contexts... which is
interpreted by Linux (and Windows, and just about any OS) as 8 cores.

The difference is in fact not that big between 4 cores with 2 threads
per core, and 8 cores. But you do, every now and then, get into
ressource race conditions where it is percieveable. :)

On Sun's UltraSPARC processors, we have 8 cores and 8 threads per core
on the high end. Machines with 4 processors report 256 cores. :) When in
fact it's 256 threads and only 32 cores. But it's fun to see the 256
pinguins drawn at boot time when you run Linux on them...

Cheers,
Gilles

Filesystem corruption?  Try debsums vim-common to check if the file
/usr/share/vim/vim72/debian.vim has the correct checksum.

On my 10.04 LTS server line 42 of debian.vim reads

  exe "set printoptions+=paper:" . s:papersize

so it could be an incorrect /etc/papersize setting as well.  What's the
content of that file?  Valid choices are "a4" or "letter".

Subject: how to check which apache modules are currently loaded
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=Sk=-zZVYpWzC4PrrLkrThzkOtUvdT6XMCGzvD@mail.gmail.com>

I am currently working to get an LMS known as sakai up on internet.
How ever I am having a constraint to use Apache as a front end.
Here is the required page
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/~steve.swinsburg/Fronting+Tomcat+with+Apache+via+mod_proxy_ajp
which says to make sure

LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ajp.so

How can I check this thing as what modules currently are installed
(running in my Apache).
This is a Ubuntu server and what I see from mods-enabled directory are following

http://pastebin.com/BufKu6Zt
So does that mean I have required ajp module installed ?

You might be better off with the nouveau driver.

As far as I know, the only way to make the change is to edit
Xorg.conf[*] (keep a copy of the old one just in case it's worse after
the change) and replace "nv" with "nouveau" [and of course make sure the
nouveau drivers are installed]. 

[*] It would be nice to have all those handy little Pardus admin tools
like Panda in Ubuntu, but they're not ported.

I've decided to file a bug since I found no way to get frequency scaling
to work with any kernel newer than 2.6.32-24...

Please open a bug (if none already opened for it). This looks like a
bug on the maintainer's scripts for asterisk.

Yes, the thread hijacking was ugly. However I've seen at least *three* 
proper answers to your question -plus mine. Have you read them, and what 
do you think about / what clarification do you need?

Subject: Best practice for web server setup?
Message-ID: <AANLkTikFt2PqiePkCftOU16RzC+PPybeqX5qsv08fFKy@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone can point me to a "best practice" guide for setting
up my company web server..

The basics are that I am setting up an Ubuntu 10.04 web server on a VPS
hosted on the internet.. The server will run our internal web based
applications and database being accessible from all our business locations..
It will also at some point in the future host the company website with a
customer portal so customers can manage their requirements themselves (in
other words the site will link to the company database on the server)..

In addition to this I want to setup a development site for continued
development and testing of the applications and website that can then be
copied to the live site when testing is complete..

Setting up the Ubuntu box and using "tasksel" to create the LAMP server is
easy enough.. What I am looking at more specifically is setting up the
virtual hosts for the various sites..

Is it recommended to create user accounts for each function, i.e apps, web
and dev, and then setup a public_html directory in each home directory and
get apache to serve the files from there? or should I just create
subdirectories of /var/www and put them all there to avoid problems running
the sites (permissions etc.. )??

Any suggestions or things to look out for would be appreciated..

Hi Tapas,

If not in default install

./opt/apache2/bin/apachectl -l

make sure you put the dot (.) / period before, it should list out the
modules installed

Thanks

Wow... Really?  THIS is YOUR contribution to the thread? Try some
decaf and relax a bit.  The OP question has been answered ad nauseum
at this point, no thread hijacking is going on.

Hey there

Try using drupal6 as the package to be installed aka apt-get install 
drupal 6

and just for the record when you find yourself into this kind of trouble 
just run apt-cache search <package  name> :)

There is always some kind of logic involved in programmatic decisions
of this nature, you just need to figure/find out what it is.

You might be better off asking this on the evolution users list.

In my Chrome, I see the problem you describe, but in evince and IE on
my Windows XP VM, it looks fine.

Of course, I have over 1200 fonts installed on my desktop and in the
VM, so this is not entirely surprising....

I had a similar problem on CentOS a while back that was (temporarily)

I'd say run an 'ls -l' on your /dev/<scanner-id> file and see which
group owns it, then add that group to your user(s) who need to use the
scanner.

I'd strongly urge you not to use Canon printers or scanners with Linux
- as much as I like them, they are poorly supported and don't work
properly with most of the drivers, if you can even find them, and
that, unfortunately, includes (x)sane.

Yes I have seen the answers, and I am thankful for you and who responded. Based on these suggestions I checked sourceforge where I need to lunch the project.

Have you tried using the NVidia X server settings program to set this
up properly?  It should be on both your preferences and administration
menus (and you might need to edit the admin menu to run it with gksu
instead of just by itself so that setting changes will stick).

Otherwise you might be stuck with the nouveau driver, which does not
handle nvidia cards well at all.

Were I you I'd summarize all that you've attempted in this tread, and
provide a link:

so that the dev's can see all that you've tried.

Thanks..

In 2008 I had changed /etc/papersize from A4 to letter and had placed a comment 
in the file stating that I had done so. Removed the comment and everything is 
OK. Interesting it took this long for it to be a problem...

Cheers,
Jay

Try booting to recovery mode & running the dpkg option from the menu.

Also try:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

and see if perhaps that will help clean it up.

If not, file a bug report:

Interesting; my Canon MP750 scans & prints just fine. Even scans over
wifi from authorized devices on the LAN. I'll admit that I use
Turboprint, but can accomplish the same with opensource drivers.

2.6.31-22-generic-pae is not a 10.10 kernel. It's a karmic kernel:
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic-pae>

A 10.10 log would look something like this:
[    42.684]
X.Org X Server 1.9.0
Release Date: 2010-08-20
[    42.684] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

[    42.685] Current Operating System: Linux gg 2.6.35-25-generic
#44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686

My guess is that you've not actually installed or upgraded to 10.10.

Heh, no sweat. Jordon has no clue who I am and what I do. Working with
the "Formerly Incarcerated" (Ex-Cons) is usually no joke, and at the end
of the day I enjoy what humor I can find in a situation. The pay really
sucks. When I spent 26 years in the Chemical Industry, I made some
pretty large dollars, covering almost all of the western states, but
there was no joy in it. I'll take being poor and running old iron, any
day, over being the "successful" angry mean sh*t head that I used to be.
It remains a great idea not to push the buttons (to "woof") on anyone
though, especially in prison where it can get up close and personal,
real quick. 

I think my life and career path is great now, thank you. The rewards
are, as well. They just don't cash readily in any earthly bank. :) Ric

When you go into System --> Administration --> Users and Groups,
scroll through and make sure everything is checked (except administer
the system if you don't want that user to sudo). You must log out and
back in for these changes to take effect. Plus you probably need to
reboot after changing anything in /lib/udev/rules.d/

If none of that helps, you might try the suggestions in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingScannerPermissions

This COULD be the problem -- you should check the source document (the
one someone "printed" to PDF) and see what font they used. You can
also check the PDF properties (using that feature in Evince or Acrobat
or whatever viewer) and see what font it is reporting.

I suspect the font either IS a "Japanese" font (and the source
document is using the Roman glyphs), or Adobe doesn't find it in its
database and picked a Japanese one that was similar.

The safest thing to do is either pick a font just about everyone has
or is well defined (Times, Helvetica, Courier, or even Arial) or pick
a font that can be embedded so there is no question about it
displaying properly.

You may even find that the document has different sections and even
whitespace encoded in different fonts. If this is a document that has
been passed around among lots of authors over the years, there could
be who-knows-what in it.

Right,
sudo apt-get install drupal6

If you just want a drupal site, when asked for "Configure database for
drupal6 with dbconfig-common?" answer Yes. For a multi-site conf,
answer No - no database will be created and more work will be needed.

Bingo! This is an original "creation", but using AcroRead and clicking
on "file" / "properties" / "fonts", I found a font "MS-Mincho" that it
doesn't recognize on the actual font type line noting it as "Unknown".
While this is sorta/mostly OT, I sure learned something about pdf files.
I've passed this on to staff so that they can dwell on it and encode
their fonts used directly into the pdf's in the future. Thanks again, to
all who responded. 

Note, all of the PDF files I create using OO-word, embed the fonts and
the file sizes are relatively small ...several hundred K. 

A lot of our clients are lucky to even have a computer and dial up, so I
keep the graphics down as much as possible. Olde Skool BBS style. You
won't find google analytics slowing you down either. Not on my watch.

Did you try the Hardware Drivers application (jockey)? That should
automagically see what you have, install the driver and utils. If you
don't have it, crank open synaptic and enter "jockey" in the search bar.
Do you know which card you have? That would be helpful. Ric

I've tried. It's only shows 640x480 and 600x800 resolutions. So I
think the problem is in X server configuration, not in video
driver.

Checking the manual page of papersize, I see that comments are allowed
there.  So this is a bug in vim's packaging: debian.vim should strip
away the comments.

Subject: Chromium seg faults all of a sudden
Message-ID: <4D4910B3.7010004@gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

Starting today, Chromium has started to seg fault at random times. When
I first open the browser it will seg fault and then again at random
times. The syslog has these two entries:

Feb  2 01:52:48 Horus kernel: [  608.024208] chromium-browse[2080]:
segfault at 39560000 ip b69da077 sp a7f45890 error 4 in
chromium-browser[b4cbf000+2b43000]

Feb  2 01:52:57 Horus kernel: [  616.615959] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

I'm not sure if the second entry has anything to do with the crash but I
feel certain it does since nothing happened on the system after the
crash. I immediately went to the log.

Anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks!
Anthony

Does it also show the right video card and monitor type?  If all three
don't match, they won't get set right.

BTW, do you really mean 600x800, or 800x600?  600x800 is an odd screen
size for any landscape monitor.

Of course, I mean 800x600 ;)

I advice you start with ubuntu wiki , you will find a lot of solutions
and support. Start read and work hard then if you face any issue ask
in the maillist or in ubuntu room in IRC. Linux wide area, would like
to be end user, or developer, or system admin? It is your choice!
Welcome to linux world :)

I hope this help you.

Subject: question about identifying the file system on lvm
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=tT76Or+w=gkbwY7YGrtbrBwzCWm85nM_i35F_@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
based on my search on internet I came to know that before I reduce the LVM size
I will have to reduce the file system size on it.
I am not very clear with identifying the partition type or filesystem
residing on it
here is what lvscan reports me

  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualization/vm1' [100.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualization/vm2' [150.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualization/vm3' [50.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualization/vm4' [100.00 GiB] inherit

How can I identify the file system running on it.

blkid.

e.g.


alan at bishop:~$ sudo /sbin/blkid /dev/xvda*
/dev/xvda1: UUID="d391d4c9-6d4c-465b-8467-8fc20c507c7f" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/xvda2: UUID="e8ad3dfd-25c8-4210-b250-a20f1537f8bc" TYPE="swap"

Hello everyone,

I am working on a Pentium III Compaq that will not mount the 3.5" floppy
drive.  The floppy drive DOES show up in the left-hand column, however.  Any
troubleshooting suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The default install has apache2ctl. That command seems to only list the
compiled in modules (at least the default installed version), not the ones
loaded dynamically like status, rewrite, etc. These are located in
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled, if that helps any.

Read and inwardly digest this line ^^

If something isn't a directory, what could it possibly be? A file perhaps? :)

sudo nano /etc/fstab

The above line will put you in a text editor in a terminal.

Alternatively if you're in Ubuntu GNOME desktop:-

ALT+F2, then
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Hope that helps.
Al.

  One of the new AV apps for Linux is harking on how it is now our 
responsibility to protect Windows users, but running an AV app, if we forward 
files or e-mails to them.  Gee if their app was that it could catch it on 
Windows why would I need it on Linux?

I checked apache2ctl but the output of apache2ctl -S is just
apache2ctl -S

VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server someurl.in (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)

Explore. Try a few different Linux distros and at least one of
the various *BSD open source Unices. Play around. Take a
surplus PC, stick two ethernet cards in it and build a working
firewall. Make another control your house or a robot or ...
Or build yourself a home theater PC.

One thing to read, not specific to Linux, is:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html

In general, read everything Unix or Linux-related you can get
your hands on. In particular, guides to sys admin, networking,
security, ... and historical material. Both will lead you toward
expert status better than most end-user docs or forums will.

Lurk on developer mailing lists for any projects that interest
you. Don't ask stupid questions (site linked above has a doc
on that too), in fact probably don't post at all until you are
sure you can contribute rather than asking.

Learn at least a few languages at least well enough to
get simple things done. One is the shell. Others might
be C, Emacs LISP, Perl or Python, ... depending what
your want to do.

For the shell, you don't necessarily have to learn to create
thousand-line scripts. However, it should become second
nature to automate some task that needs a half-dozen
commands, and reasonably easy to look at someone
else's large shellscript, say in /etc/init.d, and get a good
idea of what it is doing.

Message-ID: <2d174f0ca81972aa0907d366f63a91ea.squirrel@webmail.uci.edu>

Hi All,

I have Android phones with strange "volume labels" I want to change.
When I attach these phones to my Ubuntu laptop via USB, they appear as
4C06-1903 (the Nexus S) and '¾ (yes, that's a strange ASCII character
that looks like single quote three quarters, and is the name of the
HTC G1). How do I (from Linux) permanently change these "volume
labels"?

Thanks,
Charlie

You don't "need" it, and you needn't bother with it. Only Windows AV 
programs keep as up-to-date as possible with new malware, so an 
AV-for-Linux would almost certainly lag behind. Linux users have neither 
the ability to "protect" Windows users nor the responsibility.


Mac went over to a Unix-based program ten years ago and has since 
enjoyed the luxury of Unix protections. It is either baffling or stupid 
for Microsoft to have ignored the obvious advantages of doing the 
equivalent. I don't think any Unix-based OS users owe Windows users any 
consideration; on the contrary, I think Microsoft ought to pay 
compensation to others for the inconvenience of living in a world of 
Windows-targeted malware, even if those others are largely immune to it.

I'd argue that there aren't any guides - you become experienced,
knowledgable and informed by doing rather than reading about doing.

Go and do some of the things Sandy suggested. Get to the stage where
building a protected, secure, highly automated server is trivial.

Once you got that kind of thing licked you're well on the way.

Subject: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS = No sound in MythTV + mplayer
Message-ID: <AANLkTimRDL3vQ9RdW_u69DCeourcxdVzZFzS1JVdvdFZ@mail.gmail.com>

Something strange happened... I wanted the 0.24 MythTV release which I used
the Mythubuntu repo. When I instructed the upgrade, it went through a
"partial upgrade". That's where it got scary.

Anyway, I didn't know. My Ubuntu got upgraded to 10.04.2 LTS (that isn't
released right?) and everything seemed to work.

ALSA seems to be broken badly. When the computer starts, I hear the sounds.
But as soon as I want to use MythTV Frontend (got video, no audio) or
mplayer (getting nothing). All Gnome application (well, sounds and music
player) works and have audio.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Some do, some don't.  I have an e-GeForce7200gs in my desktop and a
Quadro FX 580 in my workstation and neither of them will run with
nouveau - the 7200 looks like crap (low res, low quality color) and
the FX580 looks worse.

YMMV

Subject: Ubuntu 10.10 Performance issues with transmission or ktorrent
	indicator applet
Message-ID: <4D49D23C.5000204@jguk.org>

Hello

I am trying to figure out why my fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install on Acer 
3820T laptop is having performance and stability problems with 
bittorrent clients.

(Other laptop with older Ubuntu on same Wifi is fine.)


I am using Gnome desktop, with pae kernel:

Linux note 2.6.35-25-generic-pae #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 19:01:46 UTC 
2011 i686 GNU/Linux


The problem
===========

Transmission bit torrent client window stops responding.
Load visible in "top" is 100%. I guess it only has a single thread.

I switched to ktorrent. Same problem, but it used 200% (both cores!)


   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2273 jon       20   0  258m  51m  25m S  200  1.4  43:03.63 ktorrent


What I wonder is if this is related to indicator-applet. Has it some how 
lost the app that it minimises in the bar top right of screen?

As the problem seems not related as two different applications have same 
problem. Firefox and OpenOffice running well though.


I did have a problem that "nautils" got stuck trying to show the 
"Downloads" folder. Only seen that once. I needed to reboot to sort it.

No error messages in /var/log/messages giving me any clues where to look 
next.

I've got 4GB ram, but no swap space configured. that should be ok though 
right?


Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Jon

Probably won't matter; you are still using a karmic kernel & X.Org X

Although it's a bit cutting, actually, that is good advice. One good
way to learn a platform is to support it, and one way to do that is to
hang around Linux forums and try to answer people's questions. This
means going out and Googling and working on your own systems, trying
to reproduce the problem and talk them through it. This is excellent
experience and it's also a good way to "give something back" to the
community in return for the free software you're getting.

As you have asked some very basic questions, I would suggest that you don't 
do it!  You really need to know about security and just setting up a lamp 
server on a VPS is a very insecure way of doing things if you don't know 
what you are doing.  You run the risk of getting the websites hacked and 
also the company database/sites hosted on it.

You will also need a DNS server if you want the domain found on the internet 
and probably some sort of mailing program installed to process mail sent 
from the websites.

If you are determined to do it yourself, I would suggest installing 
something like ehcp (http://ehcp.net/) , ISPConfig 
(http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-3) 
or DTC http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc.html

It is not a good idea to run internal web based applications on a server 
that has public access unless you really know what you are doing.  These 
should be run on a server on the internal LAN that is firewalled from the 
outside world with access by VPN if remote access is required.

Remember that unless you are using a SSL, data being sent to and received 
from the server can be easily intercepted.

Subject: which server to offer files to friends
Message-ID: <4D49E645.7010209@gmx.at>

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to offer files on my ubuntu server to my 
friends.
I considered several option but none is

* ftp with individual user accounts: ftp is not encrypted, I don't care 
about the data but I prefer not sending passwords plain text.
If I switch on the TLS/SSL option for the vsftpd, clients will need a 
special ftp-client to connect. I hope that if I set 
force_anon_logins_ssl=NO then access to the anonymous-ftp site will 
still be possible.
Disadvantage of this solution: I have to copy all files into the users 
home directory as I use the chroot option.

* Create torrent files: I don't have to copy the desired file to the 
users home directory. Creating the torrents need a lot of manual input. 
The solution is kind of problematic with confidential documents. If my 
friend sends the torrent file around the world, he is to blame but I am 
the person who is seeding the data.

* ssh-login: I do not want to give friends from untrusted computer 
ssh-access to my machine.

* Any other solution? What about WebDav? Up to now I only run print, 
bittorrent,ssh and ftp server on this machine. If I keep apache and 
webdav at Not a lot of vulnerabiliyI  If I keep all apache and webdav 
settings at their default value will installing webdav increase the 
vulnerability of my server?

I appreciate any suggestion.
Franz

Hp Printers and All-in-ones have a very good linux support. It is 
amazing. last weekend working from a live cd. Trying the scan 
application: Network Scanner on Hp "office ..." is detected 
automatically and added to the system.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to find a printer which cand print 
double sided.

Why not just put them in a web accessible directory? Use https:// if you
REALLY want and use .htacess for the authentication. Seems pretty easy to
me. You can also just setup SAMBA on the linux box so you can drag/drop
files from any machine on your LAN.

Jon, I'm not exactly sure what would be causing the problem, but I know
that I used to have frequent drops of my Wireless connection under 10.04
and 10.10 that couldn't be resolved until I rebooted.  This has seemed
to stop under 10.04.  I wonder if the kernel has been patched under the
LTS release and not 10.10.  You may want to look into that.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks,
Noah

Run VirtualBox on your server and set up a virtual machine running
Ubuntu (or whatever). Give your friends access to the VM via ssh. You
can turn the VM off and on easily, or even under program control (e.g.,
cron).

Yes, you will have to copy your files to the VM for your friends to
access them, but they can all use the one copy if you set up a
group-readable directory on the VM for them. Of course, you could allow
only particular users to access particular files by copying the files to
specific home directories or by using more granular groups. If you set
upa  shared directory for the VM (shared between the VMand the host) you
might be able to use links rather than copying files, but I haven't
actually tried that. Not sure if one can make a shared directory
read-only...

With ssh set up, they can use direct SCP, tools like WinSCP, or (if they
are Ubuntu users) they can mount their home directories (or any other
directories to which they have permission on the VM) as filesystems.
Very flexible, all encrypted.

There is no way you can offer secure access to your own computer without
having some kind of access control (accounts). Nor is there any way
around some form of pre-processing of the files you make available -
either by copying them to some accessible location or something else as
suggested below.

Any other of your suggested solutions would work just as well on a VM as
directly on your server. If you do <whatever> on a VM, you are at least
limiting any damage to the VM. Except of course for losing control of
your data, but as soon as you give a copy of a data file to anyone, you
have effectively lost control anyway.

If your friends are computer-literate, you could use GPG. Each friend
generates a key (better still, generate the keys yourself) and you
encrypt the files for that one friend. Then you can have a single login
for everyone, because each individual will only be able to decrypt the
files intended for that individual. You could even make the files
world-readable and let anyone at all download them, because they are
useless to anyone without the key to decrypt them.

With (say) SeaMonkey installed on Ubuntu, your friends could just
download the file, and click on it to decrypt it. For very large files
this is not a great solution, as your friend ends up with two copies of
the file, one encrypted and one decrypted, although they can delete the
encrypted version once they have decrypted it. 

Regards, K.

I also recommend HP printers.  I would just look at their All-in-One
reviews and go from there.  I had a HP AOI that had wireless
capabilities.  It always worked great.  No issues that were caused from
me using Linux.

^This. It may sound weird, but exploring something like FreeBSD or 
OpenBSD in addition to several Linux distros makes you much better at 
Linux than if you *only* ever used Linux. I'd especially recommend 
OpenBSD, since it's more "bare bones" and has probably the best man 
pages in the world.

You can give scp access without shell access, using rssh:

Incidentally, that was the first result I got by googling for "scp 
without ssh". :)

The base Ubuntu install should do most everything you want. Its secure,
sane, and has everything you need to tweak the configuration easily
available. There are plenty of docs floating around on how to set up named
virtual hosts. That would get you started.

For development environment, I just use the same host and same
configuration, and limit access via Apache access control mechanisms,
usually using .htaccess files. Any directory can be password protected, but
for this kind of thing a simple ip address restriction is quicker and
easier.

Keep your installation updated. Be selective on what other public services
you run. Mysql and sendmail/postfix are good to have, but only need a
localhost type config.

Sure, but not just there. Browse the net, libraries, bookstores.
For firewalls, the netfilter site has excellent guides. Eric

1. You will have to become very familiar with all the common commands.  A
book like "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly has all the man (manual) pages
written out--a number  of which are not in the standard Linux distributions.
Also, it lists options which may not show up in the on-line man pages.

2. It will be necessary to become competent--not just familiar--with bash
scripting.  This is the programming language that is primarily used to 
create
many of the control procedures that "get things done" in Linux.  There are
a multitude of books, references, and tutorials available, some of them
free for download: "Bash Guide for Beginners" by Machtelt Garrels; "Linux
Shell Scripting Tutorial" by Vivek Gite <vivek at nixcraft.com>; "Advanced
Bash Scripting Guide" by Mendel Cooper.  The "bash Pocket Reference"
by Arnold Robbins is available for a few dollars, downloadable from 
O'Reilly,
or you can buy it in printed form.  It's main advantage is its 
simplicity and
examples; everything in it is covered in the books above.

3.  You might get away without ever learning the CLI editors vi (pronounced
vee-eye), vim (an expanded version of vi), and emacs, but to really become
a Linux/Unix guru, you should learn them.  In the meantime, become used
to using a CLI editor like nano, pico, or mc, with which you can actually do
just about anything, with much less fuss.

4.  You will sooner or later need to become familiar with sed, an editor 
with
some programming features, and the programming language awk (or gawk--
a Linux adaptation with a few extra features).

5.  A working relationship with the C programming language will see you in
good stead:  the kernels for Linux and all the other Unixes are written in C
with a dash of C++.  (A recent thread on one of the lists concluded that it
would be better to learn C++ _first_, not C.  It also concluded that if you
have no programming experience and need to learn, a good introduction
to programming can be found in the Python language.)  Python happens to
have the practical advantage for the student that it is interpreted.  
That is,
you don't have to compile it to run the program you just wrote, so it's 
faster
to work with and debug.  A good tutorial for that is called "Snake Wrangling
for Kids" by Jason R. Briggs.  A free download, and not just for 
kids--anyone
can use it.  Before you download it, you should be aware that there are two
versions of Python kicking around. Most of the present Linux distros seem to
have version 2.x in the repos, altho there is also a 3.x available.  The 
Snake
book comes, therefore, in two versions also, so before you download it,
find out what Python version you will be actually using, since there are 
some
differences.

6. A text-book I used in a recent college-level class covers a lot of Linux,
altho not everything I've mentioned, and it suffers badly from poor 
indexing.
"Linux: the Textbook" by Sarwar, Koretsky, and Sarwar.  The version I used
was the first edition.  There is now supposed to be a second edition, which
may have corrected some of the faults and errors of the first.  I 
haven't seen it.
However, the consequences are that the first ed should be available even 
more
cheaply on Amazon, etc.(used, clean)  and the second is probably not 
available
at much of a discount anywhere. You can do almost all of the exercises 
in your
modern Linux, so don't worry if it doesn't come with the old version, 
which was
pasted in the back of the original book.

Author's note:  I wish I was competent in all the areas I so blithely 
mentioned
above.  Unfortunately, I'm not.  I just know enough to know what I _don't_
know!  One bit of advice:  if you have two computers, devote one to Linux
learning.  Don't be afraid to work with the CLI, and play with bash, and
Python, and modifying the behavior of the system.  Just call it the sandbox,
and be prepared to reinstall the system if you mangle it too badly.  Do all
your other real work on the other computer.  Preferably, of course, it 
should
be in Linux, but if you dual-boot to Windows once in a while, we'll 
understand!

Good luck!  I really hope that you achieve your desire!

I seem to have found a way to make it work. ALSA:Default doesn't work
anymore for me in both mplayer and MythTV. I have to do a scan and choose
the proper device that gets populated. For mplayer, I have to provide "-ao
alsa" and it I do "-ao alsa:default" then my video doesn't even show up.

I'll have to look into getting the ALSA:default working again. Kind of a
pain in the bottom when you need to specify the audio device all the time.

Altho it may be a little more difficult to write viri and worms for 
Unix-based systems, it has certainly been done--every so often you hear 
about some
really _bad_ worm that is infecting big computers all over the 
world--almost surely, Unix machines.  If I had to hazard a guess, it 
wouldn't take very
long , if M/S switched to a Unix based system, before all the crud that 
now infects M/S would be infecting the new M/S system, and, of course, _us_!

Hi,

I whole heartedly thank everyone in this email thread for their kind
suggestion. I would work on it hard and seek advice if i have questions.
Thanks again and much appreciated.

Thanks,

Wouldn't that be something.. MS once had Xenix, but then sold it to SCO,
which renamed it Unix. And it's dead now...

I even bought tons of boxes of SCO Xenix in 1994, but never opened them.
I installed Linux instead!

From "man ls":

| NAME
|        ls - list directory contents

You asked ls to list the contents of the directory www/claroline/ which 
it did. If you want to list the entry for that directory, try "ls -ld 
www/claroline/" instead.

I did just and only that and next thing I knew I was  maintainer of a
Debian package (icewmcontrolpanel)!  I never did any maintaining of the
thing, merely suggested to the author that he might find more users by
packaging for Debian and Libranet Linux which was already using his
program.  OK, it was long ago, Libranet is /old/!

Because it lists the long format for the *contents* of the directory
(which is empty apparently), not the directory entry itself.

But it did work. The -l option designates the long format but not what 
to list. The long listing format of an empty directory is only the total 
size of the files listed, which is of course 0 because there are no 
files. However the -d option changes the items to list from the 
directory contents to the directory entry.

I do make use of .htaccess and also UFW to limit access to the server and
services.. Also like having minimal services running for security and
performance reasons..

Thats largely why I am doing my homework first.. The main reason for looking
into storing the files in different users home directories is to avoid
having all areas of the web services available to all that have permission
to upload to the server.. This would also include anyone
that successfully finds a way into the server..

Message-ID: <AANLkTinuq3uY49-gb1m=WNFqCeYgE-9x4ZS-BJUq1EEc@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm running 10.04.2 LTS on 64bit. The mysql version that I can install
with from lenny packages is 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9, but, for the hell of
it :-) the developers require 5.5.8. I've been googling around and
found "alien" to convert rpm to deb, I also found some packages in
ppa's but I'm not installing those in production.
What would be the best/recommended way to install mysql 5.5.8?


Thank you for your ideas,
Cheers!

You may be right, but it seems more likely to me that only users folders 
would be at risk, not the system folder. So the makers of malware would 
have more limited rewards to look forward to. When confronted with Unix 
underpinnings of Mac OS X, the makers of malware for the old Mac OS just 
shriveled up and died.

See this nice chart for Unix provenance.

http://www.levenez.com/unix/unix_a4.pdf

Xenix was a tradename much like HP-UX or Solaris or AIX.  They were
systems based on the original Unix code developed at AT&T Bell Labs.
SCO later acquired the rights to the Unix trademark and rebranded their
system SCO Unix and later Unixware.

There are still attack vectors into Unix and Unix like systems (Linux).
Daemons running with root privileges or setuid programs are a problem,
since if you obtain root privileges, you can do anything.  The SELinux
framework if you enable it does mitigate some of these issues by
restricting application permissions further to specific folders or
files.

A user can thwart these measures by doing dumb things like using the
root account for everyday tasks or executing a trojan horse sent as an
email attachment or embedded as a link in a web page as root.

Agree.
And in any case , step 1 is ditching Ubuntu and going with Gentoo. I 
used it for years, and it teached me much more about Linux than any 
binary distribution could.

Hello everyone--

I now have a slight variation of the problem.  I am taking the liberty of
bringing it up here because I believe that there is no difference in the
Linux C.L.I. between openSUSE 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.10.  If I am mistaken, then
I apologize.

Below is what I have done on the C.L.I.:

PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> sudo nano /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD400BB-60DGA0_WD-WCADK3933748-part5
swap                 swap       defaults              0 0

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD400BB-60DGA0_WD-WCADK3933748-part1
/                    ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 1

PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> sudo mount -a
root's password:
PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> udisks --mount /dev/fd0
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed
with:
mount: mount point /media/floppy0 does not exist


It goes without saying that I'm quite clueless as to what I'm doing
incorrectly.

Just let Update Manager apply security updates to Open Office on 2

On the failed machine, it aborts just after trying to unpack 
openoffice.org-core.  I got a popup saying to Use the broken filter.

Synaptic showed the openoffice packages as Broken dependencies. 
Selecting them and doing Edit-->Fix broken packages did not correct the

What are my options to fix this now?

I didn't know rssh, yet. Does anybody know a user can break out of this

I just found some posts claiming that rssh is not compatible with winscp 
(which some clients will use). I have to check if this is still valid.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will take a look at the .htaccess option.
But it seems that other, non apache solutions are available. I think I 
will go with them and delay my apache adventure.

Not to disparage your efforts, but that is one good use for aliases.

In particular with mplayer, I have found aliases handy for playing
specific tracks on either of my two DVD burners, using full-screen
presentations, playing those bizarre flash videos that are widescreen
but appear in 4:3 aspect ratio without the right option and suchlike.

E.g.: mp0f is much easier to type than 'mplayer --dvd-device=/dev/sr0 -fs'

Virtual Machine is a good idea. My server has just 512 MB of RAM and has 
no hardware virtualisation (It is an old Pentium 3 Laptop). I will have 
to figure out if there are some resources left. The virtual machine has 
another option: If the host fails I could transfer the virtual machine 
to another machine.

Encrypting all files. Unfortunately I am afraid that my friends are not 
computer literate enough (At least some of them).

Thank for your long list of options.

I think at first I will try the rssh option suggested by Pedro. I 
dropped ftp with tls because nautilus does not support it. Once I got 
some spare time I will try to work on your virtual machine suggestion.

Thanks,
Franz

While this is quite true, it is also much more difficult to gain
access other than by user stupidity (or ignorance).  Unlike the
Windows model, where security is virtually non-existent and most users
run as their own administrators 90% or more of the time, the
UNIX/Linux model is tighter and generally less susceptible to direct
attack.

For one thing, UNIX and Linux kernel vulnerabilities are fixed at a
much faster and higher rate than Windows bugs, and in most of the
cases I've seen of such genuine vulnerabilities, they are found and
fixed by developers and contributors much more frequently than being
found (and not fixed) by dedicated virus writers.

As viruses (not viri - this is grammatically incorrect) are much
harder to write against UNIX and Linux, Trojans will likely be (and
are) more profligate than viruses.

It is also worth noting that the vast majority of Windows viruses use
vulnerabilities in applications such as MS Word and IE to get through
the holes in Windows, and a great many of them are not actually
Windows flaws per se.  Witness the most recent "day 0" Windows bug
that Microsoft recently announced
(http://www.infoworld.com/t/malware/what-microsoft-didnt-say-about-the-latest-windows-zero-day-flaw-914)
- it is actually a day 0 bug in IE, but they seemed to feel it was
better to blame it on Windows rather than take yet another hit on
their prize bastard child browser, which is steadily losing market
share to other, better options (Firefox, Safari, etc.).

This is utter nonsense.  Most interested engineers can learn Linux on
any Linux distribution.  What makes the difference is how much you try
and dig in, not which distro on which you do the work.

Hello

This printer looks like it should work. Just wanted to ask if anyone
has been using it with Ubuntu?



HP open source site provides hplip driver:

This laptop has 4GB of RAM. There is a 3GB addressing limit with the 
standard 32bit kernel sans-pae:

Thank you for the suggestion.

I've  made the following changes, to see if this makes any difference:

* Transmission "Blocklist updates" [Disabled]
* Encryption "Prefer encryption"

I had a symbolic link on desktop to $HOME. I removed this in case it was 
trying to index recursively in Nautilus.

The /media device system will not work in fstab because it is a
dynamic mount point managed by the automounter (autofs), so this line
is not valid and will cause problems.

Well, like I said - you can't do that (in most cases).

You need to mount the floppy drive to a real mount point, like
/mnt/floppy, which you have to create (as root) with mkdir.  A little
research, in man pages and some Linux/UNIX forums, on mounting disks,
automounts and managing file systems should help you a lot.  (Sorry I
don't have any pointers on this handy - I haven't needed to look this
sort of thing up in years.)

I agree that these risks exist, but they are far more manageable than 
the continuing Windows approach of "patching makes perfect." It baffles 
me that Microsoft won't risk password protections, when Mac users 
adopted them without a murmur and MacOS X has been growing. There hasn't 
been any Mac OS X malware "in the wild," but one shouldn't underestimate 
the cleverness of trojan horse come-ons.

Anyone else seeing problems with indicator applet? When apps are

ktorrent and transmission being best examples.

they are still running though:

Never used it specifically, but I have always had GREAT success with HP
printers on Linux.  I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.  Perhaps
Google the model number with the Linux tag and see if anyone else has
commented on it somewhere.

Is the processor not a 64-bit processor?  And not to reply to another
email already sent, the other computer you don't have issues with, what
are it's specs?  Is it the same install?

I agree.  But actually, it would make the most sense, in my view, to use 
Ubuntu
or Debian, because these are the most popular and widely used, and therefore
have more readers and solvers on their mailing lists, which the newbie 
should
definitely subscribe to--both, at a minimum.  (I subscribe to Debian, 
Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, SUSE, and the Forum for PCLOS, which is my distro of choice.)  My
own opinion is that forums are more difficult to use than mailing lists, 
because
you tend only to get answers to your specific questions, rather than an
overview of what's on everybody's mind, and where you can tap into things
of interest even if they're not on your agenda "right now." Granted, there
are a few mavins who read and answer the forum on a regular basis, but it
would seem to the casual observer--me--that they _are_ few, and that they
_are_ mavins, not regular readers.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
<quote>
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)

Both the CD and DVD installer of Ubuntu 10.04 automatically installs the
PAE enabled kernel if it detects more than 3 Gb of available memory. In
the case of the liveCD, a working network connection is required, since
the PAE enabled kernel packages are not present on the CD.

There is no Bigno... the font issue that you complained about in an
added post stated:

<quote>
But, on my machine, I was seeing a space in the banner text, in the
words "Initiative" and "Publication" to look like I nitiative and P
ublication.
</quote>

The font on that line is (as I've already mentioned) is:
SymbolMT (Bold)

Why didn't you ever just post a screenshot of what *you* were seeing?

I have several screenshots, I just didn't want to crowd the list with
attachments to a topic I noted was kinda/mostly OT. 

But, as I have responded after, that is the problem noted by Acroread.
Nifty! Thanks anyway... problem solved thanks to the responses. Ric

I like mine as well, but it sucks ink like a thirsty mule and any
electrical glitch causes it to spasm with glee and print off test pages
that practically douse the page with a goodly amount of ink. I have
found no way to turn off this "feature". Out here, on rural electric,
you can count on the power being interrupted every time a pigeon lands
on a wire. So, I keep it turned off until I'm ready to use it. The only
way I get to the Internet is through HughesNet. That's country. Ric

So your internet is okay for participating in lists but not for buying
a UPS/BBU with line conditioning?

Hmm....

Heh, I killed off the last UPS with the power going down and staying
down long enough for a UPS not to matter much. The battery finally gave
out. Ric

That's why they are stocked with rechargeable batteries, the ones that
recharge when the power comes back.  Or did you mean that it happens
so often that the battery failed to recharge?  That would take a fair
number of complete discharges, and they're still replaceable....

The first error:-

The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting.
Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Did not receive a

I have used Gentoo, and I respectfully disagree.
It's not because your pc spends 80% of its time compiling with the
-go-faster-stripes and -break-my-cpu compiler options that you actually
learn something. Except when your name is Neo and you can somehow
magically absorb knowledge when the compilation output is scrolling across
your screen in a Matrix-inspired green on black font. :-)

In my very humble opinion, the best way to learn the inner workings of
Linux is by digging into the bash shell[*]. It does not matter which
distro you use. Just take a look at the questions asked on the LPI exams
(LPIC 101): the majority is about bash commands.




[*] I know. BASH = Bourne-Again SHell shell. Now go back playing with your
LEGO. :)

An UPS is supposed to power things long enough to save your work and 
shut down properly. Not power it forever.

In our case it's long enough to get the generator started and online.

I expected this reply.

Technically you're of course right. What I meant is that Gentoo *forces* 
you to try and dig in also things that usually would be taken for 
granted in binary distros (ever tried recompiling all your system with a 
new GCC with incompatible interfaces?) -and in doing so one learns a lot.

The first (teaching) asset of Gentoo is that *you* are the installer, 
not a program: you fire up any working live cd (I used Ubuntu to install 
it!), get to a command line, download a .tar.bz2 and follow the manual.

My personal advice to anyone using Linux first time is 1-2 years with 
Ubuntu, 1-2 years with a "hardcore" distro like Gentoo, all while having 
a spare system on which to try new and exotic distros; and then back to 
whatever you're pleased with once you're skilled enough (I'm with Ubuntu 
now, happily).

I answered this above. Installing Gentoo is already a learning 
experience. And no, compiling in itself doesn't help -but when you're 
dealing with normal cases (e.g. incompatbile GCC, recompiling a kernel 
often) you learn usually a lot.

this should work for you:

http://tinyurl.com/4ofdvhw

once you find the init script and tweak JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME to
the right values then go chkconfig tomcat on if you're on a red hat
type distro (such as CentOS) or update-rc.d tomcat enable 2345 if you
are on an Ubuntu / Debian style server. Make sure you have the name of
the init script right by ls'ing your init directory (/etc/init.d) and
looking for the right name or else this won't work.

regards,
tim

For proper Linux support, you should stay with Epson or HP. The ONLY 3rd
party ink maker is www.inksupply.com...the ONLY
maker in the US. I have a professional photo printer, so the inks MUST
be VERY accurate and they are the only ones who do that, save me a
bundle of money and the inks don't harm the print heads. As to what
model to get.....sorry....can't help as that's not the type of printers
I use.

I agree  with Albert,

If you really want to know how the things work under linux

the best way to become a expert is:

Build your next three distributions from scratch:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

You can base your distro on Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) it's easy.
I started on Red Hat 5. (.rpm) and now i'm on Debian/Ubuntu.
But you will learn new things EVERY day!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Did you get this resolved?

What do you show for:
$ apt-cache policy openoffice.org-core

Try:

$ sudo apt-get install -f

FWIW, outside of photo printing, Brother printers have also had good
Linux support traditionally.

As an aside, I didn't realise there were professional inkjets.  I'd
always thought professional quality photo printing was done either
with a full development machine, or in smaller environments using
dye-sublimation or something other than ink-jet technology.

Just curious about that.

Please elaborate - are you saying that this is the only *good* ink
maker in the US?  Because if they are in fact the sole manufacturer,
it wouldn't matter who the supplier is....

I recommend you scponly (scponly is packaged by Ubuntu/Debian devs in universe)

from http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

scponly is an alternative 'shell' (of sorts) for system administrators
who would like to provide access to remote users to both read and
write local files without providing any remote execution priviledges.
Functionally, it is best described as a wrapper to the tried and true
ssh suite of applications.
A typical usage of scponly is in creating a semi-public account not
unlike the concept of anonymous login for ftp. This allows an
administrator to share files in the same way an anon ftp setup would,
only employing all the protection that ssh provides. This is
especially significant if you consider that ftp authentications
traverse public networks in a plaintext format.

It looks like you have a damaged download file in your cache.  You
might try 'sudo apt-cache clean' and then retry the update.

Thanks. Seem to be quite a few similar:

I tried that but get  E: Invalid operation clean.

I suppose it is not possible to just locate the file openoffice.org-core 
and delete it and then try to apply the update again?

Thanks,  Jim

$ sudo apt-get clean

See above.

clean
           clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
           It removes everything but the lock file from
           /var/cache/apt/archives/ and
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. When
           APT is used as a dselect(1) method, clean is run automatically.
           Those who do not use dselect will likely want to run apt-get
clean
           from time to time to free up disk space.

I have the identical wireless card and problem.  Couldnt find a guide that 
worked, but I Tried the "other" net manager, wcid I think, and really screwed 
up things.  Had to reinstall Maverick for the 3rd time.  This time it worked.  
Even made grub work right.  If your home dir is on a separate partition it;s 
an easy job to reformat root and reinstall.  Dont waste your time trying to 
install over the old root stuff, the spray from the wind will get you in the 
face!  

If you dont have your home dir on a separate partition, make a backup so you 
can keep all your settings. Then restore to a separate partition.  It'll save 
you grief later on.

OK that was the start of fixing it.
Then ran Synaptic-->Edit-->Fix Broken Packages
Then applied the packages again.
It re-downloaded openoffic.org-core and then successfully updated 
everything.

Thanks to you both for all the help.

As opposed to rolling your own and Gentoo, don't forget Slackware and 
Arch. Both are pretty minimal installs and you need to learn a lot 
quickly to get your system where you want it. I still think the idea of 
using a distro that is widely used is a better choice, though. Once you 
become familiar with a deb or rpm based distro, you will be better 
prepared to deal with the idiosyncracies of a distro geared to the more 
knowledgeable user.
Learning shell scripting is a must. There are many good tutorials and 
books. Google is your friend here. I learned a lot just by doing things, 
some ended up not being very smart, others worked out well. Back in the 
win95 days, I broke my system regularly. Taught me a lot about what you 
should or should not mess with. Fixing it was always more fun than 
breaking it. I actually enjoyed trying to undo things I did, especially 
when I wasn't quite sure exactly what I did to begin with.

Have fun.
Scott

Subject: Auto logout Gnome desktop on idle?
Message-ID: <AANLkTinNkNV-vNbLPDsO+-54Kd+4NBhHKb9A4VqHwAoM@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I want to have Gnome Desktop auto-logout users when they're idle for X minutes.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I've tried the "autolog" package, but that seems to only work on
non-GUI terminals.

How does the screensaver know how long the user has been idle?  Is
there a system variable and/or built-in utility?

Thanks,

Masao

I know what Fred meant because we talked about this a while back.

Fred uses *pigmented* inks in his printer to give archival qualities to 
the prints he does and not the everyday inks which you can buy in the 
corner shop.

The supplier he mentioned provides these pigmented inks - but also 
produces and supplies the inks (in bulk) if you want/are able to refill 
the cartridges which contain the usual vegetable dyes you would be now 
using in your printer.

The pigmented inks are not cheap but they do provide archival quality to 
the prints.

Your link looks good to me.I have one doubt it says to have a user
tomcat for this.Is this strictly necessary?
Also I have all the variables defined in .bashrc so do I need to
define them again in tomcat init script as per your link.

Are you sure you want to do this?  If, for example, you opened a
document and started editing it and then got a phone call so that it
caused an auto-logout, the result would be that of closing the editor
without saving your changes first.

Is the option of locking the desktop on idle not sufficient (so you
are left logged in but must enter password to continue)?

Is it during the install that you are having the problem, or have you
installed it but while running you have to press keys?

If the second then perhaps it is a screensaver issue.  Go to System >
Preferences > Screensaver and de-select Activate Screensaver, then
click the Power Management button and set Put Computer To Sleep and
Put Display to sleep both to Never.  If that fixes it then you can
re-enable one at a time to find what is causing the problem.

I had experience only in installing by CD,
maybe the tasfert rate is too slow for the
usb key. May you tell me the factory name

So enabling 10.10 backports would solve it ?

Subject: Easiest way to make an encrypted external hard drive?
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=zjcoEmGJa+PMq6YePtg2r5CxVJv-vTXiT=zjK@mail.gmail.com>

Hey, I'm trying to find out what is the easiest way to make an
encrypted backup of my Ubuntu home dir onto an external hard drive.
There are so many options, the main ones seem to be: TrueCrypt,
ecrypt-fs/Ubuntu's encrypted home option,
dmcrypt/luks/cryptsetup/cryptmount.

TrueCrypt looks like it's probably the easiest to use and it works on
other platforms (e.g. Windows and OS X) as well. But it has a dodgy
license, and does not ship with Ubuntu or Debian.

Ubuntu's encrypted home directory is very easy to use as it's built
into Ubuntu. I think I could make an encrypted backup of my encrypted
home dir by just rsyncing /home/.ecryptfs/seanh/.Private to an
external drive. There are various how-tos on blogs for recovering from
such a backup (i.e. decrypting and mounting the backup from a LiveCD
or a newly installed system), but they seem pretty complicated. Good
documentation on this seems pretty sparse, and I have unanswered
questions. Is it safe to mount a backup of the encrypted home dir on a
non-encrypted system that might not have encrypted swap? What about
the wrapped passphrase files, is it safe to back these up to somewhere
like Ubuntu One or Dropbox, rather than writing down the (decrypted)
passphrases as Ubuntu tells you to do?

I don't think a backup of an Ubuntyu ecnrypted homedir would be
readable on non-Linux systems.

I found several tutorials on blogs about creating an encrypted
external hard drive using dmcrypt/luks/cryptsetup/cryptmount. Looks
slightly tricky, but maybe it is the way to go. Can be used on Windows
also.

One option would be to avoid the need to have an encrypted external
drive at all. Keep sensitive files only in secure locations, such as
in encrypted Ubuntu homedirs, and backed up to remote locations that
store with encryption such as Dropbox and Ubuntu One. The external
hard drive would then be used only to backup non-sensitive stuff,
unencrypted. This also means that I don't have the worry of some bug
in the encryption software corrupting the entire encrypted backup
drive and making the whole thing unreadable (I've heard stories). But
it means I'd have to be careful not to accidentally backup any
sensitive data onto the drive, and to make sure that all the
non-sensitive data _does_ get backed up. I can't simply backup my
entire homedir and get everything. Still, I can invent a simple scheme
for managing that and try to stick to it. This avoids the whole
complicated issue of having to select and learn a disk encryption
tool. Might be the best option.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'd say whether or not you need to do this depends on how much is in
your home directory.

What I do is, keep all my music, photographs, virtual machines and
anything else that's big in a separate directory off the root directory.
Only my email, letters, spreadsheets, scanned documents and other things
that are not too large but which I would like to keep private are kept
in my home directory.

I then use a script while logged in as a separate administrator to
create a tar file of everything in /home/. At the moment that makes
about a 2GB file. I use gpg to do a symmetrical encryption of this file
which I can then copy onto flash drives. One of these is stored in the
car glove box as an off site backup. Of course if you've encrypted your
home directory then personally, I'd recommend making sure you can
restore a backup of everything to another computer when the hard drive
dies.

The separate directory for the big files gets backed up to my server by
rsync a couple of times a day.

Dave

I recently had a chance to annotate a PDF in Windows with the Foxit
(non-FOSS) PDF reader. The annotations show in Kubuntu in Okular and
Adobe Reader. You might want to look at the Foxit Linux version to see
if it has similar capabilities.

Regrettably, I'm still screwing up.

Okular works best for pdf's in Ubuntu. It's got great features and that  
should be suffice. However, the annotations that you do are limited for  
viewing by okular.

If you want a better solution try out Xournal. It's not exactly a pdf  
annotation tool but that should not worry you. Foxit Linux is useless  
bundle not even worth for free. If you have a lot of research articles,  
look no further than Mendeley. That annotates (sticky notes) and  
highlights in equal measure.

Hope that helps.

Subject: ssh connection keepalive or idletimeout
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=iAtGbPiZqufkg8EFXZ2zC3QR6G6e6a9WXvtPQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have ssh access to a machine in my network,when I access it from
within the network and the connection lies idle for a lot of time the
connection does not die.
But when I login to the server from my home and there is no data
transmission for a long time the connection dies.
Here I would like to mention I have not set idletimeout or keepalive
in sshd_config and also the behavior of connection from inside network
and outside is different.
So what can be a reason for this?

I don't know the reason, but if you want to avoid the disconnect, start 
a lite process, e.g:
watch date

Try snooping on the remote machine when you are connected to it from the
outside net. Compare your snoop to a local net session.

You can also use man ssh to get the verbose debugging flags. Enable the
flags and see what the debug logs show you.

Subject: enterprise management / groupware / document management / customer
	portal
Message-ID: <4D4DB70E.3040901@comcast.net>

Greetings

Can anyone share their experience or insights to suggest enterprise 
management/groupware that can be run on an Ubuntu server?

Please note:  I am way beyond the "check the repositories for 
egroupware, phpgroupware, citadel, {your choice here}" answer.  Use case 
and some explanation below.  A bit long.

I am attempting to provide some support to a group that wants to start a 
consultant business with very little in the way of funds.  The business 
will have multiple customers and the deliverables will be documents and 
advice.  Initially, there is no intention to have a brick and mortar 
office, each of the players will work at home.

I am looking for some advice about enterprise management/ groupware 
options to run a "virtual office" for these folks.  My best source of 
info so far has been opensourceCMS.com and I've probably run about a 
dozen of the online demos.  They are limited, though and I can't really 
get the flavor for how they work or if they can be configured to suit.  
My hope is that someone here will have some direct experience or some 
other thoughts about how I might analyze some of the possibilities.

Here are the basic desires for functionality:

Web browser based for intra-net or https connection so that users can 
work remotely within their browser. Obviously they'll need separate 
software to produce their output whatever it may be.

Should be Project centric where, within a project, the users can:
     - Set and track tasks
             - by date or dependencies
     - Calendar events and deadlines
     - Contacts module within the project,
         -  categories of contacts including "Customer" who gets the bill!
     - Time keeping and billing
         -with timer?
         - allowing hourly or flat fee billing on an arbitrary basis by task
     - Communication: phone logs and emails
     - Notes tracking
     - To do lists
     - Document Management
         - OCR
         - indexing
         - versions
Wish List:
     - Customer portal.
     - messaging between users
     - mobile sync

Should be multiple user, each user with the option of a "dashboard" view 
where a user can see their individual calendar, coming due events /  
task . (or other useful views?)

All the modules should be searchable, not just by project.  (Example 
search for a contact . .)
The frontend should be PHP or something that is reasonably hackable to 
configure / brand.

Concerns:
Given another recent thread, the customer portal is probably a separate 
function and should probably run on a separate server and not have 
direct access to the internal database.

In the repositories I've found a number of packages.  When using the 
term "groupware" most mean MSOutlook / exchange server replacements, but 
without the project orientation or the time and billing or the document 
management functions.

While I have been doing research for a while, I have not installed any 
possible candidates because the installation  and configuration and 
testing appears to be non-trivial . . . and then some.

Of the demos that I have looked at, eGroupware seems to be the closest 
fit, and is in the repos.  But some fairly important functions seem to 
be missing from the community version.  Also in the repos, phpGroupware 
and Citadel.  But I am not opposed to building from source if there is 
somewhat of a "howto."

So, those who have read this far, thanks for taking the time.  Any 
thoughts to share?  Other questions about what I am trying to accomplish?

Thanks,

--PE

I am using ubuntu 10.10 and icecat (firefox variant) 3.6.13

When I open this link http://askubuntu.com/ in firefox some text get cut.

When I open the same link in google chrome everything is okay.

I have met the same problem before, when I tried to do a visa payment, I 
had to switch to google chrome to make the payment work - a payment 
formular was cut when using firefox.

Can you post a snapshot on flickr or blog so that people can see how
it looks like on your machine.
Also tell if any add ons are installed on your machine in Firefox.

Remember this is logical block size of 64KB. The block device driver may 
function in 512 byte segments regardless of what the FS block size is. 
May be not worth your time investigating.

Where/what has been read? is it really supported? Have you checked on 
the linux-kernel list or run on another distro?

Have you contacted the "mount" developer mailing list? You will get 
approprietary info than a users mailing list I expect.

Try run over LAN
Try boot from SD card

Laptop with problem is Acer 3820T, Intel core i3. x86 install using
pae kernel as 4GB RAM.

Other laptop without problem is running Ubuntu 9.4, same wifi/lan.
Transmission running fine.


On problem laptop Acer 3820T Transmission hangs with high CPU usage.
Likewise KTorrent does the same.. very bizarre, I have no idea what is
causing it.

I removed applet-indicator package, still same issue hanging, and
requiring a reboot.

Thanks for the help so far guys, Jon

 From the imagemagick tools use convert like this:

$ convert input.jpg -quality nn output.jpg

where nn is between 1 and 100.  1 is the lowest quality (highest 
compression).  Obviously you want the least compression that will fit 
the size requirement.

You can also try resizing slightly:

$ convert input.jpg -resize 800x800 output.jpg

This will resize the picture to the 800px in the longest dimension.  
Aspect ratio is preserved.

Of course, you can use Gimp or another gui tool to do the same.

Cheers.

You can resize it with Gimp to make it small enough or if 
you save as a new name you can choose the how much you want 
to compress it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but:
- jpeg _is_ compressed nearly as much as possible, so you can't compress it 
more (trying to usually results in a bigger file, actually)
- jpeg is a lossy compression, so you can decrease the image size by 
decreasing the quality (Gimp lets you set this when saving a jpeg). You get a 
smaller file but a worse quality.
- you can reduce the size of your picture (less pixels, less size) or the 
color depth.
- you can combine all these options

The best option depends on what you want to do with the picture.

Gif is usually best for drawings with solid colors.
I don't think that PNG has any size advantage, but you can save images with 
transparency (alpha channel), what jpeg can't as far as I know.

Hope this helps,

Thierry

Did you bother to look /anywhere/ before asking?

From Synaptic, search for, "resize photo":
Ansel1
FotoWall
Fotoxx
GIMP
KIPI plugins
Phatch (GUI & CLI)
photon
python-imaging
...and that doesn't even mention Image Magick.  I'm almost completely
sure there more.

Yes, but not by as much as you might think.  I did a test starting with 
an image as it was saved by the camera like this:

$ convert DSC_1896.JPG -quality 93 DSC_1896-small.jpg

The original file was 2.7Mib, the resulting file was 1.1Mib.

Then look at the pictures, still using imagemagick

$ display DSC_1896*

This opens the viewer at full resolution (not squeezed into the display) 
then right click [next] to toggle.  I can't see any artifacts.

PNG is non-destructive compression, but you pay a hefty size penalty.  
Normally about 2x the size of a jpeg in my experience.

I keep installing various softwares on my Ubuntu desktop.Right now I
am stuck up with space problem.
I have some partitions which are being used by other OS but they have
plenty of space free.
It is mountable/read/write happens.
I am not clear if I have to expand space for more installations then
/opt
/usr or /lib or /etc which directory and how should I go ahead to give
them more space.

Depend on how they build it, usually there is /proc/config.gz, but ubuntu
just being a rebadged debian, will, like debian have that file uncompressed
and renamed in /boot

See  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43    especially the
firmware bit, I suspect this is your real issue...so if you have not done
so, load firmware, and try insmod the  b43 module

check out  /boot/config-<your-kernel> and look for b43 stuff, its included
as a module in 10.04 so it'll be in 10.10.

What filesystems are on the partitions?

I don't have a real solution for you but here are some thoughts:

If you want to install more packages from the Ubuntu repositories, you 
will need more space mainly in /usr and /var. But new packages usually 
want to put their binaries in existing directories, so you can't easily 
mount a new partition at e.g. /usr because then the existing files would 
be hidden. And that partition should be a filesystem which supports 
Linux (Unix) permissions, i.e. no FAT32 or NTFS.

If your new packages are compiled from source, you could install them in 
/opt or /usr/local and use that directory as the mount point for the 
other partition. But whatever you do, make sure that the newly created 
directories don't interfere with the existing other OS. As an example 
for possible problems, lets assume your other OS is some other Linux 
distribution. Then there is a directory /bin on that partition and if 
you now mount the partition at /usr/local, newly compiled packages would 
put their binary executables in /usr/local/bin which would clutter the 
/bin directory for the other OS. Furthermore your shell programs would 
now possibly load executable files from /usr/local/bin instead of /bin 
if the absolute path is not given and your $PATH has /usr/local/bin 
listed before /bin. Those programs may not be compatible with the 
libraries on your Ubuntu system and you could have some difficulty 
troubleshooting.

I think your best option would be to put your /home directory on that 
other partition and mount that partition at /home. But again you would 
have to move the existing data to that other partition and it should 
support Linux permissions.

You can move and resize partitions using gparted.  Download and boot
from a live CD of gparted (or you can run it off the ubuntu live cd I
think), then you can shrink the partitions that have space and make
the partitions that are too small larger.  Backup well first of
course.  Do not try and resize while running off the partitions you
are trying to resize of course.

Subject: Ideas for a good offline RSS Reader
In-Reply-To: <mailman.2140.1296982887.26910.ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com>

Hi All,

I have been sending across ideas for the development of a good RSS reader.  
So far Linux lacks any credible alternative. Therefore, I have proposed  
certain ideas. Please feel free to chip in yours.

Is there anyone who would be interested in development? This is because  
despite everything, I cannot code (thats not my speciality) but well.
this is the probable set of features:

1)  Subscribe to RSS 0.9x, 1.0, 2.0 and Atom feeds
2)  Download podcasts and save in the file system.
3)  Freely configure your keyboard shortcuts
4)  Search through all downloaded articles
5)  Categorize and query your subscriptions with a flexible tag system
6)  Integrate any data source through a flexible filter and plugin system  
possibly through "extension system" (Opera/Chromium). Firefox is still  
running in a terrible beta and I really don't mind shifting to a "browser"  
if it gets my work done. For the time being, I am in Opera.
7)  Automatically remove unwanted articles through a "killfile" (this is  
something that no one has implemented)
8)  Define "meta feeds" using a powerful query language
9)  Port and exporting your subscriptions with the widely used OPML format
10) Keep all your feeds in sync with Google Reader (they have an API for  
that!)
11) Download all the articles in one single pane; for example the you tube  
videos and fetch complete articles.
12) There is a lot of things happening in medical field. For example,  
there is a web site called as Mendeley (www.mendeley.com) which allows one  
to store the articles and meta data. Suppose the feed reader were to be  
integrated with Mendeley AND Twitter, the existing data/RSS feeds can be  
cross checked in REAL time. I think, one has to port their API (someone  
has to think about making a plug in for this!).
This RSS Reader, in my humble opinion, would then become a "content  
discovery platform". You can use this reader to search for stuff of your  
choice. Get an API of say "Hacker News or Digg", tag by keywords say  
"ruby" and everything related to "ruby" would be there in it.
Then see for the contextual linkage- how well the articles are related by  
means of a simple tag cloud. Voila! You have the best content offline :)
Is this possible?
These are the features copied from http://newsbeuter.org/index.html  (But  
it's terminal based). I have just added what I feel can be added as GUI.
Development here: git clone git://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter.git

Thanks!

I think is better to use first a standard block size,
this is from the factory delivery.
Better is to begin with a compatible windows FAT.
After you may begin with linux sytem format,
is better to use the default block size.
Bye.

Subject: OpenSSH could be faster...then why don't they path it??
Message-ID: <12dfaeaaa01.6137092556707365017.-352956039067029084@zoho.com>


https://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/hpn-v-ssh-tput.jpg
 
 "SCP and the underlying SSH2 protocol implementation in OpenSSH is network performance limited by statically defined internal flow control buffers. These buffers often end up acting as a bottleneck for network throughput of SCP, especially on long and high bandwith network links. Modifying the ssh code to allow the buffers to be defined at run time eliminates this bottleneck. We have created a patch that will remove the bottlenecks in OpenSSH and is fully interoperable with other servers and clients. In addition HPN clients will be able to download faster from non HPN servers, and HPN servers will be able to receive uploads faster from non HPN clients. However, the host receiving the data must have a properly tuned TCP/IP stack."
 
 My question is: So Why Does the original OpenSSH has "limited statically defined internal flow control buffers"?? It could be way faster, even 10x!!
 
 With the HPN-SCP path it could be the descendant of FTP! Why aren't there any ""OpenSCP packages""? ('normal SCP+HPN-SCP path+no local user needed for SCP'ing+chroot by default')
 
 Any opinions?
 
 Thank you!

I looked at the web page in Chrome and Firefox (3.6.13) and I'm not
seeing a problem.  I also wasn't clear what was wrong with the images

Any clarification I'm missing?

meaningful differences between the openSUSE C.L.I. and the Ubuntu C.L.I.?

Some clarification

Try opening http://askubuntu.com in firefox

then open the same page in google chrome and see the difference.

I am showing which add-ons I have installed, when asked for it in this 
thread, and did it by some screenshots.

Subject: How to mount backup of encrypted home directory
Message-ID: <AANLkTikdpwV2tMUs-bGKwGfKExfcE7+UL9W1WAS-bJfZ@mail.gmail.com>

I use Ubuntu's encrypted home directory and I rsync'd my ~/.Private
folder to an external hard drive. Now I want to mount that backup to
restore some files. Can anyone help me to figure out how to mount (and
decrypt) the backup?

Documentation on this is surprisingly weak, there are various
complicated how-tos on blogs and the ubuntu wiki, they vary, nothing
seems authoritative, I can't get it to work. Here's what I did:

	seanh at dulip:~ % mkdir /tmp/restore
	seanh at dulip:~ % sudo mount -t ecryptfs
/media/BACKUP1/dulip/home/seanh/latest.snapshot /tmp/restore
	[sudo] password for seanh:
	Passphrase:
	Select cipher:
	1) aes: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded)
	2) blowfish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 56 (not loaded)
	3) des3_ede: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 24; max keysize = 24 (not loaded)
	4) twofish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded)
	5) cast6: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded)
	6) cast5: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 5; max keysize = 16 (not loaded)
	Selection [aes]:
	Select key bytes:
	1) 16
	2) 32
	3) 24
	Selection [16]:
	Enable plaintext passthrough (y/n) [n]:
	Enable filename encryption (y/n) [n]: y
	Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) Signature [****************]:
	Attempting to mount with the following options:
	ecryptfs_unlink_sigs
	ecryptfs_fnek_sig=****************
	ecryptfs_key_bytes=16
	ecryptfs_cipher=aes
	ecryptfs_sig=****************
	WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt],
	it looks like you have never mounted with this key
	before. This could mean that you have typed your
	passphrase wrong.

	Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes
	Would you like to append sig [****************] to
	[/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt]
	in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : no
	Not adding sig to user sig cache file; continuing with mount.
	Mounted eCryptfs

At first glance this appears to have worked. ls /tmp/restore shows my
files. But if I then try to access any of those files, e.g. ls
/tmp/restore/Desktop I get 'file does not exist' errors. If I open
/tmp/restore in nautilus it shows an empty folder. If I do sudo ls
/tmp/restore I see the encrypted filenames.

When it asks for 'passphrase' I don't know if it wants my login
password or the long encryption passphrase that I can get using the
ecrypts-unwrap-passphrase command. I tried both but neither works. I
also don't know what the filename encryption key signature should be,
I tried accepting what it suggests, and also various other things
found on blogs, but no luck.

The complexity of recovering a backup of an Ubuntu encrypted homedir
seems to be a problem. Anyone searching for help will find various
pages listing commands that you don't understand the effect of. Maybe
if we can figure it out, we can write an authoritative wiki page
covering the various cases.

On my Dell Latitude D600, same problem with 10.10 and 10.04 installed. It can't resume from sleep, have to switch it off hardly.

But resume after sleep works great under Ubuntu 9.10, on the same machine, older kernels... :-(

Objet: Black screen after resume from sleep mode (Dell E5410)

I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell E5410, which recently got the LCD
replaced by Dell because the defect in the original LCD.

I don't remember whether the screen was black or not after sleep mode.
But the screen is always black when the laptop is resumed from the
sleep mode.

I'm not sure if this is an problem with ubuntu or it is the problem of
the newly replaced LCD. Could anybody help me on this issue and let me
know how to diagnose?

Can you give us some clues as to what difference you see rather than

You might try reinstalling evolution:

1. Shut down evolution if it is running:

$ ps -e |grep evolution
 ... ?        00:00:00 evolution-alarm
.... ?        00:00:06 evolution

In this case it's running, otherwise I would have seen:
$ ps -e |grep evolution
 .... ?        00:00:00 evolution-alarm

So let's shut it down (do this from the command line rather than just
closing Evo from the gui:

$ evolution --force-shutdown
Evolution process exited normally

2. Now backup your configuration folder:

$ cp -R ~/.evolution ~/.evolution_backup

3. Now reinstall:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall evolution

4. Restart & try Evo.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, you could try moving the ~./evolution
folder out of the way to see if it's something in the folder/profile
that is creating the problem & I can give you instructions on how to do
that safely. But first first try the above.

I followed the directions above - including moving the .evolution folder 
out of the way - but I still see the same problem. Compose does not have 
fields for either "To" or a Subject.

To be honest, I think you will find it difficult to find something
that fits all of your criteria - I think the most important thing now
is to find out which functionalities you _definitively_ want
integrated into the same package, and which softwares you are happy to
run separately - eg, I've not known a FOSS groupware solution that
integrated OCR yet.

My initial advice is: egroupware isn't fantastic. The situation we
were in was less business oriented, but we found the RoR project
Redmine http://www.redmine.org/ to be a better fit, and filled the
software gaps around it. In particular, the calendaring coupled with
it's gannt chart etc etc. Other plus's are that it's more modular than
egw and is built from a framework, so you can get most desired modules
built, at a cheaper cost I would suggest than having it integrated
into something like egw.

Obviously, depending on req's google has a fine suite of softwares
available too (email, docs, etc)

The problems we had with egw were: speed of software, speed of dev,
confusing interface

Sounds like it's time to file a bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution

One other that you might try is to reinstall ubunu-desktop. That meta
package should pull in any missing evo packages if there are any.

I figured it out! It's simple once you know how, but figuring out how
to do this right is _very_ tricky, as you'll see. This blog post got
me there:

http://www.kaijanmaki.net/2009/10/26/recovering-files-from-ecryptfs-encrypted-home/

Here's exactly what to do:

First you need your mount passphrase, the one Ubuntu asks you to write
down after the first time you login to your encrypted home directory.
You can get that with:

$ ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
Passphrase:

(When it asks you to enter your passphrase supply your login password,
and then it will print out your mount passphrase.)

Second, you need your filename encryption key signature, you can get that with:

$ sudo ecryptfs-add-passphrase --fnek
Passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] into the user session keyring
Inserted auth tok with sig [yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy] into the user session keyring

This command might ask you for your sudo password first (not shown
above), for that supply your login password again. But when this
command asks you to enter your "passphrase" you should enter the long
mount passphrase that you just unwrapped in the previous command, not
your login password. The second sig that it prints out (yyyy) is the
one that you'll need below.

Then do:

$ mkdir /tmp/restore
$ sudo mount -t ecryptfs /media/BACKUP/path/to/backup/of/your/.Private
/tmp/restore

This last command will ask you some questions. For the first
passphrase it asks for, enter your long mount passphrase again. When
it asks whether to use filename encryption say yes. When it asks for
the filename encryption key signature give the second (yyyy) sig that
you got from the ecryptfs-add-passphrase command. For everything else,
accept the default answers.

This seemed to work for me. This covers the case when you're trying to
recover an encrypted backup of a homedir and you're logged into the
current version of that same homedir. I don't know if this would work
from a Live CD or a different system.

I'll paste my full terminal session below.

What was messing me up was:

First, that you have to ignore the default filename encryption key
signature that the mount command suggests and instead get your fnek
from the ecryptfs-add-passphrase command, ignoring the first sig that
the command prints and using the second one. That's pretty cryptic. I
was using the encrypted home feature and I didn't even know that I had
both an encryption passphrase and a filename encryption key signature
until now.

Second that ecryptfs uses "passphrase" to refer to both your login
password (when the ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase command asks you to
enter a passphrase) and your long mount passphrase (when the
ecryptfs-add-passphrase and mount commands ask you for a passphrase).
If you supply the wrong "passphrase" to the ecryptfs-add-passphrase
command it looks exactly as it does if you supply the right one, it
prints out a signature, just not the right one.

Btw, when googling for this I actually found an ancient thread started
by myself trying to solve this exact same problem. I've been trying to
figure this out on-and-off for a long time!

Here's my full session:

Just moved to a different laptop with a different username, connected
the external hard drive, and followed the instructions exactly as in
my previous mail to mount the encrypted home dir from the external
drive, they worked. Also tried booting a live USB and again, the
instructions worked. Of course, you have to have your mount passphrase
available. Great!

I did an rsync of my encrypted ~/.Private directory to an external
drive. It took ages, but further backups will be incremental so not as
bad. I figured out how to mount and decrypt this backup to recover
files from it. It's very tricky, but quick once you know how.

The advantage of this approach is simplicity. You simply backup the
Private dir with a single command and you have an encrypted backup of
everything. No need to worry about whether or not you included all
valuable data in the backup, or whether or not you excluded all
sensitive data from it.

The disadvantage is wasted storage space. Since you're backing up the
encrypted files, there's no way to specify rsync rules to exclude
giant unwanted directories such as Downloads and Trash. These account
for more than half of my storage space used!

If on an Ubuntu system with multiple users with encrypted home
directories, if you want a single backup job run by root to backup all
users then I think backing up the encrypted copies in /home/.ecryptfs
is your only option. There's no simple way that root can backup the
user's files unencrypted in order to exclude certain directories from
the backup, because only the users have the passwords to decrypt their
homes, root can only see the encrypted files.

If it is a document you may convert in greyscale.
If it is not this case you may reduce the size
with the program Corel Photo Paint 12 or later
by the menu on the top at the voice IMAGE
you choose REDEFINE and put a value less
than 100 that is the default.
A value of 60 I think is good for your purpose.
If the image is too small chose a greater value (80).

FF works fine for me here.
What happens if you use FF logged on to your PC as a different user?
Have you tried disabling all the FF extensions and plugins?

AFS is the andrew file system. its a network file system, so it is not using any of your disk space (apart from a small cache). /afs/rl.ac.uk/ is the shared folder of the rutherford appleton lab in the UK.

you must have some openafs packages installed.

Thanks.

That's correct, openafs-fileserver, openafs-client and a few more - I am 
not quite sure myself why I have installed those - probably during 
investigating something on the internet - the information on the internet 
is getting HUGE *smile*

Subject: Unique S/N Generator?
Message-ID: <AANLkTinnAeqEsbeb7Fsy+=5FbFCBMGx7+pbGD46mLxCn@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I would like to hand out some Coupons to my customers granting the 2-3 hours
free phone support as part of a marketing campaign.

I am looking for a way to generate a unique S/N number / code (preferably
letters and numbers) for them to read back to me over the phone, so I can
verify it's authenticity and provide them the service.

Is there a tool out there I can use?

I'd like to set different ranges of codes for different target audiences.

Thanks!

Amichai.

With a bit of Python you can go anywhere. This code *should* generate 
10000 unique alphanumeric codes and save them to a text file (I haven't 
tested it).


#!/usr/bin/env python

import random
a='1234567890abcdefghi' #we return permutations of this string

a = list(a)

codes=[]

for i in range(10000): #we generate 10000 codes
     code = ''.join(random.shuffle(a)))
     if not (code in codes): #avoid duplicates -very improbable but cheap
        codes.append(code)

f = open('codes.txt','w')
f.write('\n'.join(codes))
f.close()


> I'd like to set different ranges of codes for different target audiences.

This is easy -just include a unique character for each target audience 
in the initial string.

http://docs.python.org/library/random.html can help.

cheers,
m.

Please stop spamming this list. Remeber the title of this list:

Thanks, Alex.

I found a Random List Generator in there.

It is my understanding it will give me unique sequences each time?

Or is it I get something someone else already got?

Thanks....

  This is ridiculous:

  apt-get install uuid
  ./uuid

  Done.

They are completely random, so the chance of getting a duplicate is
close to none.

That was incredibly useful.  Thank you for taking the time to enrich

Here's the telling sentence from that site:

"I'll explain how attackers can abuse these features to gain access to
a live system by using a USB flash drive."

What it tells us is that whoever is doing the 'hacking' of the system is
sitting in front of the system.  If that is so then all bets are off.
The only real protection from someone with physical access to the
system is encryption of the hard drive(s).
If you are concerned with someone having physical access to your box,
encrypt the drive during installation.  If no one /has/ physical
access, the USB attack won't work.

The speaker also stated that autorun for USB is disabled by default in
Ubuntu.  Where is the problem, again?

It is a non-news item.

Some people just love to cross-post novice questions to multiple
different email lists.  I know - I used to do that, many years ago.
This kellyremo person is the second or third one on this list, and no,
I don't appreciate that kind of waste of my time.  If you do, feel
welcome to post a less intemperate response that you find helpful.
(Please note that your response above was not.)

To me, the FIRST place to look for an answer to a question like this
IS in the manual, and something this basic does not require input from
a list of experts.

I welcome any new members who show some fundamental knowledge of what
this list is and the community rules for posting to it, how to use a
manual (e.g., by not asking questions that are plainly answered there)
and showing even the slightest bit of email netiquette, say, by not
cross-posting questions that are off-topic in all the lists to which
they were posted.  People who expect us to do their homework for them
are welcome to receive feedback such as RTFM, STFW, etc.

You really ought to ask this on the Evolution user's list
(evolution-list at gnome.org) - they are the ones who can tell you for
sure if this is a bug or what might be wrong with your configuration
or settings or whatever.  Patrick O'Callahan, who maintains Evolution,
is a major contributor and could probably help you.

If that doesn't work, then you'll know whether to file a bug or not.

Feel free not to reply, or to take your support elsewhere. Barking
RTFM at people isn't helpful, isn't friendly and isn't welcome on this
list.

This is the Ubuntu Users mailing list, it's for users to post support
questions, at any level. If you deem a question somehow beneath you
then the most respectful thing to do is not answer.

Autorun is typically a feature of the graphics display manager (i.e.,
GNOME or KDE).  It is not inherent in Linux.

I note that you have only specified "unique" not "random".  The numbers 
in any sequence from x to y by 1 are unique.  Put them in a hat and 
shake if they must be handed out in random order.

No, it *is* helpful, because it gives the person two really essential 
informations:
- The answer you look for is probably in the "manual" 
(documentation/google/etc.)
- Not doing your homework is highly frowned upon

Posting well-made support questions is welcome. Posting support question 
which show you haven't made a basic level of your own homework only 
wastes everyone's time and email space, and is therefore *not* welcome.

We would all like perfectly framed questions, and discussions. The 
reality is that it doesn't always play out like that in ESR simplicity 
;) Don't be hard on people when it isn't ideal, we're all newbies once.

As above. See Popey email too, just ignore any email from a mailing list 
that you don't appreciate.

Hello NoOp, Thank you for the link. Yes I should maybe have created a 
new thread. I will next time. For now just leaving subject as is.

However, as I don't have a ~/Private, does that mean I have no encrypted 
files? I do have the .Private and .ecryptfs

Except for a few headless, lights out installations it is unlikely that
'no one' /has/ physical access.  There is always the possibility that
the sole user gets duped into plugging in a USB stick.  You could even
get a batch of supposedly blank new USB stick sold in some cheap shop.
Call me paranoid, but in considering security issues you always have to
consider all possibilities then do your risk analysis on each.

Come to think of it, this should be fairly obvious - the teaser shot
of the video on the referenced page is an image clearly labeled as
"Nautilus external thumbnail settings."  Nautilus has a help function
(aka manual), Nautilus is part of Gnome, which also has a help
function (and manual), and actually neither is part of Ubuntu or
Linux, per se, so there would not be a Linux or Ubuntu manual for it
(although the "Ubuntu manual" as it were is easily accessible on the
web and anyone who has read even a tiny fraction of the traffic on
this list would - dare I say should? - know).

I suppose I could have said that.

I have changed the name of the thread so as not to compromise the spam
detector, because that's what this "unique" thing is. This is not a 
pleas for
assistance with Ubuntu, this is a blatant attempt to get somebody to do
for free what he should clearly be paying for, since he's looking for some-
one to help him run his business.  Please put this "unique"thread on the
spam list.

Yes, and I'm happy to have been RTFM-ed as a newbie, because looking at 
the acronym and looking at the meaning made me realize that my approach 
was wrong, and that there was a better approach.

RTFM is not punitive: it is *help*. Tough help, but help. We're saying 
the newbie: "This is what you should do, and we really mean you should 
do that, and acquire a thick skin".

It's not simply a matter of not appreciating, but of helping the newbie.

I prefer to link the ESR essay than just answering RTFM, but the gist is 
the same: Do your homework if you want us to help -and if you do so, 
you'll probably won't even need us to help and you'll learn a lot more.

Not needed. Your link is to a page from 2005. OpenSSH is on version 5.8, 
those patches stopped at 5.6 and for very good reason.

I have no objection whatever to someone asking a question about how to 
use Ubuntu, no matter what he uses it for.  I would be encouraged if
someone is using it to run a business.  But that doesn't mean that he 
should be asking for free service for something he should expect to
have to pay for.  And no, I'm not an IT person being cheated out of a 
job, but of course, somebody is.  Fortunately, we don't see RTFM very
much anymore, since most readers do try, but this person didn't seem to 
have gone even that far.  Simply inputting "generate random
numbers in bash" into Google will come up with answers.

Some time ago, there was a big fuss about some folks asking for 
scripting help, and some readers jumped on them for asking the list
folks to do their homework!  Well, I didn't take it that anyone was 
asking for homework help, but even if they were, that's OK by me.
That's not something one would expect to have to pay for, I hope. In 
every case, a script was submitted that wasn't working, and the poster
was asking for assistance--not for a new program to solve something.  
And I don't think of homework as a "hobby," even if the supplicant
is not studying to becoming a sysadmin. (For that matter, someone who 
actually has homework has already paid in coin for his lessons, and
believes that the instruction is worth it.)

Perhaps you see the difference?

Try reading the first message on the bug, the workaround is in there.
Also notice that it is marked as a duplicate of another bug, so that
bug will contain the latest information on it.

Message-ID: <AANLkTik9W8a-G25kvp+YzHp--2E_s8uaiQj7ZvaYy7De@mail.gmail.com>

I reported a problem while doing an update on one of my servers.
Which is something similar to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/705644
I want to restore a backup.
With respect to rsync I have a doubt


If the server A on which I have to restore backup from a USB disk
I do as follows

rsync -avz /usb/disk -e ssh root at IP:/

will it over write all the files on server A with the ones on my USB
(which is what I want also)
or I need to do some thing else.

Subject: can an update over write java in /usr
Message-ID: <AANLkTik5E2aPWFccFn00j81d+o7uN+5T8hCo3SfJV0fR@mail.gmail.com>

I am running a site which hosts an LMS known as Sakai
today morning I noticed my website down.(This problem is different
from my other upgrade thread)

I am investigating this problem as what are the possible reasons

As per the doc of sakai
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+2.7 (binary
section on this link)
  it needs following version of Java

java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)

I observed that
	One week before the
	JAVA_HOME was /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20

Message-ID: <4D512FD4.2030208@neuroweave.nl>

I have a strange problem with gparted.
fdisk tells me:
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb419b419

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        6374    51199123+  83  Linux

/dev/sda7           33245       46299   104864256   83  Linux

Well this looks normal.
However gparted tells me:
/dev/sda (931,52 GiB)
Partition	File system 	Size
Unallocated	unallocated	931,5

I don't understand that. Is that a bug in gparted?

Somebody has a clue?

1000.2 GB
931.52 GiB <- Note the i

1000.2 GB / 1024 * 1000 = 976.76 GiB

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte vs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte

Then there's some overhead of 5 or so percent you're losing. Not sure
where that is.

depending on the *way* you encourage people to do that...

there is a way by explaining them what to read where and explaining them
how to do better next time ...
or there is an ignorant and rude way by telling them "screw you, grow a
thicker skin" and slapping them with an RTFM in the face ...

the latter is definitely not appropriate for this list

try running
which java
this will find the location of the java executable, then you need to
set that variable accordingly
for example if the command returns
/fake/dir/bin/java
then set the variable to
/fake/dir

Thanks Alan,
I know the different ways that producers let the user think he/she has 
more GB than he actually has. But that is not my problem. My problem is 
that Gparted doesn't see the partition and only sees an unallocated 
space when in reality it is my main partition where all activity is 
happening (just as fdisk shows)

If there is such a disastrous bug in gparted, it's certainly one I've 
never heard of before.  I would suggest, just to start, that you try 
running sudo gparted from the command line to see if there are any 
strange error messages to the console output.  I would then follow that 
up with dmesg to see if there were any errors reported by the kernel 
while gparted was running (such as a an IO failure on /dev/sda, which 
might be caused by a bad sector somewhere that gparted scans)

And, interestingly, this other bug has a patch. All that is needed
is for someone to follow the requests there in order to fix this issue.

You haven't RTFM on RTFM yourself, did you? :)
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

"There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply that 
reads “RTFM”, the person who sent it thinks you should have Read The 
Fucking Manual. He or she is almost certainly right. Go read it.

[...]

You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, your respondent 
is showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You 
should instead be thankful for this grandmotherly kindness."

That said, I usually point the ESR document than simply RTFM/STFW 
people, but that's because I am especially patient. :)

You can look at /var/log/apt. One interesting file there is the
history.log, showing what was done, and when. The term.log shows
what happened on each apt-get run.

Yes, it is -- both possible and probable, if any such update was
available. But you can pin a package to a certain version.

Perhaps on the original install CD? Another option is to rebuild it.
But it will take a while, Java is a monster.

Uhm, no. I mean, why is payment a discriminant? Doing the same question 
for a hobby would have been fine?

Yes, it was quite a simple question probably (and I even offered to 
write for a few bucks -too bad there is uuid already :) ) but well, so 
what if it's for money or for amusement?

Rashkae,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I did what you asked but the only "error" I got was:
joep at Laguna-new:~/Utube/utubeqt$ sudo gparted
======================
libparted : 2.2
======================
Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition

and dmesg gave no error. It doen't look like an error but more that 
something in the disk layout is not known by gparted.
An external disk (dev/sdb), also of 1 Tb. is seen without a problem.
Both disks as Samsung and I have no problem whatsoever with them.
Joep

what makes you assume that ? i usually read a thread before answering,
have often enough come across that document and i dont find an ESR
document particulary helpful as an excercise of the ubuntu code of
conduct ... nor do i find it any kind of appropriate for this ML

great, so that guy who is not knowing about something and is couraged
enough to ask on an ubuntu support list should be graceful that you did
what this list is for ? 
if you support with that attitude (giving proper support is a waste of
your time and people have to be thankful for getting slapped with an
acronym they probably dont even know), if your highest amount of time
you want to invest into support is pointing people to a document where
the headline for the explanation of RTFM tells them that  "You've
Seriously Screwed Up", did you think about doing something else for
ubuntu instead ?

several people (one of the ML admins being among them) have told you it
is not appropriate, how about just accepting it ?

ciao

Er. It is highly probable that Ogra (and certainly myself) know
about it (and I probably knew about it before you were born). So no
need for a gratuitous dig.

Ogra's point is one of being nice for a change. It _is_ possible.

The difference (between the hacker standards and us) is the CoC [1].
There are _many_ different ways of telling somebody something. But
saying 'RTFM', or other responses common in this list, is really not
cool, nor following the CoC. You _can_ be a hacker while being nice.

Perhaps I am more patient that you, I try to explain and give an
initial link(s). Pointing to ESR's page is always good, though --
but not because of the 'RTFM' definition.

Have you tried to write to this mailing lists:

?

I have used puppy linux for years as my main "tool box" - it is a small 
live cd of some 100 mb - very fast and efficient - it has gparted.

As it happens, this does seem to be a parted bug that bites people from 
time to time.. So far, I've been unable to find information on what, 
exactly triggers it.  Here's the best thread on the subject I've found 
so far:

It is a document that sums up what is a *general* code of conduct which 
is shared by tons of technical open source mailing lists/IRC 
channels/web forums and the like.

You are free to reject it, but by doing so you ignore essential 
fundaments of the hacker culture (which, by the way, allowed Ubuntu to 
be what it is) and you're out of place in the vast majority of such 
forums. Good luck with that.

Well, I'd say that teaching people how to fish is much, much better than 
giving them fish, so I'd say that *I am* the one helping out and giving 
proper support, not you.

How about understand why it could be appropriate and why it is felt 
appropriate by the vast majority of the open source/hacker culture? You 
are still free to disagree, but it's you that is walking backwards, not us.

rsync only overwrites existing files on the target found on the source
or adds new files from the source unless you use the --delete flag.  In
that case it deletes files on the target not found on the source.

For those who didn't understand yet, this is UBUNTU-users list and
users with emails ending with @ubuntu.com such as Oli, Alan and Jeff
are expected to express Canonical (this is the "boss") values. Whether
one like it or not. And if one dislikes it so much perhaps it's time
to stop contributing.

  This forum has seen it's fair share of posts that are complete wastes of

while that might be true for other MLs,
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct is the one that counts on ubuntu
lists, *not* some random ESR document.

i'm not talking about "such forums" i'm only talking about this mailing
list.

how does your attitude help anyone how to fish ? *how* did you give any
help *at all* ?
the *single one person* that helped in this thread was "Chhatoi Pritam
Baral" pointing to the proper configuration tool (kudos for that), all
other posts are either discussing your habit or general security
issues.

again, i'm not talking about the vast majority of MLs or forums, i'm
talking about *this list*, there is a reason why ubuntu differs from
other lists and is praised for its userfriendly way of supporting
people, did you think about that ?

one thing that might help you is to try to imagine the person behind
that mail you help is your mother (or grandmother) who sits in front of
you in real life on the other side of the table, then think about if you
would shout RTFM in her face ...

Subject: Converting PDF Files to ePub
Message-ID: <AANLkTimeWNL=cbSGmqDN_APF98Q8QYhrrbG-5WXU=wwp@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I recently bought an e-book reader and want to use it to read all those
wonderful books available out there for free (Ubuntu Pocket
Guide<http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html>,
for instance).

The reader is an OEM manufactured by Qisda. This is a link to the technical
details<http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/261636182/6inch_Ebook_Reader_Device_AUO_SiPix.html>
.

I'd like to convert my existing books to be read on the device. it supports
ePub, so I thought that would be the best format to use...

I tried to use Calibre to convert the files, but they come out all jumbled:
random characters, paragraphs breaking it the middle...

I was wondering if there's a way to add my device to the output profiles. I
tried the Sony Reader profile (my device is similar to the Sony PRS-600) but
got the same result.

Any ideas / pointers?

Thanks!

Amichai.

this is a wrong assumption, if i file posts as ogra at ubuntu.com i only
talk for myself, not for any company.
the only "boss" behind ubuntu lists, forums or IRC channels is the
ubuntu community, which in regards of governance is represented by the
ubuntu community council, not by canonical at all ...

i also didnt say that massimo (devicerandom) should stop contributing
but should consider to contribute in other areas of ubuntu if he doesnt
feel like treating people more friendly on a ubuntu ML than just
slapping them with a RTFM. plenty of people giving support here have a
more user friendly attitude which he isnt willing to adopt ...

again this is my own personal opinion i'm stating here as a long time
member of this mailing list, independently of my employer.

ciao

I didn't notice that they are Canonical employees ; anyway:
  1)I'm glad to follow the rules here and in fact I'm not RTFM'ing 
anyone -I only think that the rules are myopic in this case and at odds 
with what the hacker community has long devised as correct process -for 
several reasons.

  2)Canonical employees are not "my boss". They are, at best, the 
maintainers and moderators of this ML.

  3) I'm quite worried that apparently such a code of conduct has 
nothing to say about silencing dissenting opinions -like you, Lucio suggest.

Anyway, end of story. We agree to disagree and move on.

I am happy to adopt it if these are the rules here; I am just explaining 
why it isn't necessarily a good idea.

Have a look through some of these:

Maybe?

You might try from a Maverick liveCD (which should have an updated

civility or maturity around here". Not always, but often enough to
make me uncomfortable.  (Yes, I have a thick skin, having been on
USENET for almost 20 years).  That said, doing your homework (even to
the small extent of googling on the problem) is greatly appreciated,
and will lead to a much quicker solution to any problem one may have.

No, not at all. Ubuntu is a *community* project. People with
'@ubuntu.com' are formal members of the Ubuntu Community -- they
have being quizzed about their contributions, and the Ubuntu
Community (via one of the regional councils, or via the governance
councils) has approved them as Ubuntu Community members. By the way,
this is a public process (see [1] for more details), and the logs
are also publicly available.

It also happens that one critical piece of being a member is
accepting, and abiding by, the CoC.

People with '@canonical.com' are Canonical employees. They may, or
may not, be Ubuntu Community members [2].

So, when you see a '@ubuntu.com' address, the expressions and ideas
there are from an Ubuntu *member*. Not from Canonical. At all.

It would be better to understand how we work as a group, and _then_
take your decision.

Cheers,

..C..

[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
[2] I know of many that started as Ubuntu members, and they got
hired/contracted by Canonical, and I know many Canonical people that
are not (or were not approved as) Ubuntu members.

You can try:

sudo aptitude full-upgrade

this option will force a upgrade, and fix some dependecy issues.

It is just a matter of keeping some civility within this rather
unmoderated community. When things get rough it would be nice to count
on ubuntu.com people to remind us of the CoC terms (which by the way I
also accepted and abide) to put things back in a correct perspective,
to calm things down. Exactly what Jeff, Alan and Oli did in this
thread and you yourself expressed at "Being Nice for a Change". If one
cannot show respect for a fellow member, perhaps the illusion of
moderation by a "higher ranked member" could do (please note the " ").

Some time ago moderation was thoroughly discussed since conflicts and
name calling occurred on a daily basis. The mere possibility of
moderation, the sense of some kind of "supervision" (besides the
effective moderation of a couple of fellows) somehow changed the
climate, brought things to normal. Thus it seems that some people must
sense some kind of supervision to behave properly, as if they always
need a big stick around, to be scared of.

I know that you are here as persons and not company, but it is a
matter of respect, if everything else fails, perhaps an "hey dude,
show some respect at least for the Ubuntu guys" might work.

Funny, here in Sicily, we do not have to keep telling guys "show some
respect", it's kind of embedded. :-)

'archive.ubuntu.com' is the main site; the standard repositories are
saved on '/etc/apt/sources.list'; additional repositories will
usually be files under the '/etc/apt/sources.list.d' directory.

The way I do it is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the
hostnames to 'archive.ubuntu.com'. With 'vi', you can:

:1,$s/\/us./\//

or

:1,$s/us.archive/archive/

(since the US archive is called 'us.archive.ubuntu.com')

Then I would check any additional repositories under the
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d' to see if they need to be changed also
(for example, I use to put the DDEBs repositories there).

I am not sure if there is another (programatic) process to do it on
a server.

Hope it helps,

..C..

Unfortunately, no. There is no *really* good (automatic) way to convert PDF to epub format.

The epub format is designed to permit maximum flexibility in text flow reformatting based on the individual reader device; whether it's a 4" HTC android smart phone, a 10" iPad, or a 6" Sony reader.

PDFs are designed to hold the exact formatting the original author intended; including font, font size, layout and pagination.

Any conversion from PDF to epub is going to make some "guess" as to the how to reformat.  Epub doesn't have options for "callout" boxes,  multiple columns, etc.

This is why I bought a Sony reader (PRS 350).  It will read and allow me to highlight and sketch on PDFs in their natively displayed format.

Epubs are actually HTML files (but using only a subset of the commands).  You can verify this by changing the .epub extension to .zip and gunzip'ing.

I've looked for PDF to HTML converters, but nothing works great unless the original PDF has a very simple layout.  Cisco reference documents convert fine, but that's about it.

Good luck.

Subject: Problem upgrading an offline computer
Message-ID: <1297197807.2650.53.camel@WS20201213>

Hi all,

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Lucid) Linux 2.6.32-24-generic
#42-Ubuntu SMP i686 GNU/Linux. It's not a fresh install, I've been
upgrading since 9.04.

This is an off-line machine at work, I'm behind a proxy server, so I've
only got access to intranet and a few .gov sites.

Just now, I've tried to upgrade to Maverick 10.10 following the below
instructions. I've got the iso file on my desktop
(ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso).

'Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD

Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the
Internet.

<snip>

If the ISO file is on the computer to be upgraded, you could avoid
wasting a CD by mounting the ISO as a drive with a command like:

sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom
sudo mount -o loop
~/Desktop/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom

A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using
that CD.

<snip>'

Ok, that dialog never showed up, so I tried this instead:

'If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run
the following command using Alt+F2:

gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"'

After this last command, the dist-upgrade dialog did pop up asking me if
I wanted to use the internet to download the latest updates (defaulting
to yes), to which I clicked "no". A few seconds later this error message
pops up:

"Could not determine the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
Can not mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade

This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/
in the bug report."

I've looked into some of these logs, but I must admit that I couldn't
find anything wrong (for my basic level of knowledge on the matter)
apart from the not being able to mark Ubuntu-desktop for upgrade line. I
don't know what I'm looking for here. I can post the logs (or part of
them) if needed.

I also though of running "Computer Janitor" first and then try again the
upgrade; but then I realized that (not sure here) maybe Janitor would
erase some important pieces of information (like logs) to troubleshoot
my problem. So I'd rather ask here first.

Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Aside from trying to convert PDFs to ePub documents, does that reader
not already support PDFs?  Am I reading the specs wrong?

GIMP?  ImageMagick?  Windows <anything> is a last, desperate resort

Huh? <ROFLOL> <slaps knee and gaffaws> Thanks, I needed a good chuckle.

I have to agree, to a point, with those in the RTFM camp. It IS
time-honored, and the bit about "teaching a man to fish" has merit. It's
brutal, yes. But, like training a puppy by putting his nose into the
puddle, there are times when someone will just strain the usual suspects
(responders) patience when some off-the-wall question would require
emailing the Internet to their mailbox. Ergo, RTFM is called for, for
the lazy, but style may dictate softening the blow. But, I've had RTFM
used on me, back when, and it didn't kill me to take the advice. Ric

I hadn't intended to set off a firestorm on this subject or the issue
of civility, but my abrupt response of "RTFM" was improper and I
apologize to the list for that.

I have signed the CoC and goofed by not adhering to it - I could just
as easily have posted an abrupt "Nautilus->Help" or something slightly
longer and more polite, but I didn't.

I have seen three (I think) posters to this list now who *routinely*
cross-post the exact same questions to other OS lists (where I also
lurk under a different email id) when the questions they are asking
are not, strictly speaking, Ubuntu-centered (or even Linux-centered)
questions.  I let my irritation with this produce the answer rather
than thinking it through one second (or less) longer.

Thank you all for the input and food for thought, and to C especially
for the link on Ubuntu Community membership, which I had not read in a
while.

Let's move on....

It may be time-honoured. But it is not for Ubuntu. If you do not
agree, you can always leave, and find another list where being
polite is discouraged.

Cheers,

Subject: "Could not write bytes:broken pipe" - Are data safe?
Message-ID: <1297202975.2512.9.camel@Acer-Aspire-8920G>

OS: Ubuntu 10.10 x86


Hi to all,

At my laptop I have 2 HDDs, in the first HDD I have my Ubuntu
installation and in the second I have some virtual machines (as file
images). Both partitions are formatted as ext4.

Because Vista is crawling after each boot, I made /etc/fstab:


/dev/mapper/vmware    /mnt/vmware    ext4     defaults,

==> data=writeback,

==> commit=600

  0   3


Since it is a laptop anyway, I also made:

/dev/mapper/Acer--Aspire--8920G-root /               ext4
errors=remount-ro,

==> commit=600

0       1


Some times, during shutdown a last message is being printed:

"Could not write bytes:broken pipe".


Is it possible to get corrupted filesystems/lost data because of this
message?




Thanks a lot,

I'd also encourage them to explore their system as well. Without 
reading the maual I came across it when checking thru the properties 
dialogue of any folder. Basically open any folder. Click "edit" then 
"preferences" and choose the media tab. A number of menus will be 
found there including one marked "software" which it seems is set to 
ask by default, i.e. to give an autorun prompt. There's also a checkbox 
at the bottom marked "never prompt or start programs on media 
insertion"

The prob with manuals is that not everyone gets them (understands 
them). What one sees as simple another sees as hard and visa versa. 
Reminds me of an english test in highschool where my teacher said I 
answered all the hard Q's and left the easy ones. I found them the 
exact opposite

I find I'm of two minds here.  It's seems to me that telling new people
to RTFM, although abrupt almost to the point of rudeness /by itself/,
when included in a more-politely worded message that also points to the
correct FM can be a wonderful learning experience. 
 
I think it is incumbent upon us all to do whatever we can both to learn
about our systems /and/ to help others do the same.  If they aren't
interested in doing some of the preliminary work themselves it will
become apparent pretty soon.  /That/ is the time for 'punitive
measures', if such are even possible since we are all so nice and sweet
to one another.  ;-}

...but suggesting that folks swing the door closed behind them doesn't
seem all that nice, either, really.

But wait... there's more!
Makeup is a free program, and you don't need to pay anything for it. It
doesn't contain pop-up ads or other annoying things.

Ah! And you somehow speak for Ubuntu at large, as a community? Don't let
your head get too big for your britches. I did say, as noted above:
"...but style may dictate softening the blow." You no read the Engrish
so good? I am saying that you can advise RTFM, but use some éclat. For
example, I just deleted my personal and vulgar opinions of your
thoughtless and stupid reply. Ric

Maybe they should read the link. Perhaps there should be a section

I believe RT*M is in my opinion, a Lazy way of Helping, if You can call it 
that.
How about, Did you read the manual. Do you need help finding the manual.
Probably better ways of helping i guess.
And I do appreciate the Help I've recieved so far,Thanks Gentleman

If the real issue is converting PDF to ePub there is no easy solution.

ePub uses logical markup: it marks chapters, paragraphs, index entries
and (effectively) words so the reader can identify them.

PDF uses physical markup: it has no concept of word, paragraph or
chapter; so, at best a converter program can only make a good guess
about what was intended. It cannot even guarantee to identify individual
words or characters consistently.

What do you mean by opening a php file in FF?  Do you mean just
viewing the php code (as you would see in gedit) or do you mean

Have you installed Apache server also ? any information regarding that
will clear the issue a little more.

In that case you need a web server of some sort running (unless there
is an addon to FF to do that, I am not aware of such an addon).
Perhaps you had a webserver and it is not running any more.

It should start automatically.  I suppose you will have to start
looking in the logs to find out why it is not.  It is also possible
that it is running but your php files are not in the www folder
(wherever you have configured apache to look).  Are the php files in
the same place as they have always been?  Otherwise I would start by
looking the the Ubuntu log file viewer and the apache log.

Assuming you made some scripts in PHP which have filenames file.php

you need to install apache2
apt-get install apache2
here check http://localhost
if you get a message It Works!! that means Apache installation is
successful upto her.

Then in Document Root which is a folder known as  /var/www
you need to  put your all PHP files.
Since you are just beginning so put it there once you become
expert you will understand better.
Then open your browser

and http://localhost/filename.php
This is how you will view it.

Can you please tell me the location/name of the error log file ? I have a
folder /etc/apache2.

Many thanks for your patience,

Then go to a file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

See the location of log files there.That is where every thing is.
In most of the cases /var/log/apache2/
access.log and some other in folder
/var/log/apache2/
you need to do an a2ensite (name of vhost file)
if you use any thing other than default.

Probably best to keep the questions in that thread rather than
fragmenting them I'd imagine.

However I note that someone asked you to try the workaround in the bug
you found.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/705644

Have you done that?

The adduser command might help here, but you might need to specify the
uid as 104, gid 105 and the home directory as /var/run/dbus and the
shell as /bin/false.

I found this from looking at an existing system.

alan at bishop:~$ grep messagebus /etc/passwd
messagebus:x:104:105::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false

> sudo dpkg --configure dbus

There isn't really an 'undo' for this.

 I think the lines  with the *****'s are relevant to my apache stopping. Can
someone guide me a bit?

Here is a situation I am having a laptop where
I have 2 installations of Ubuntu 10.04 and 9.04
I was working with 10.04 version.
After some time I switched it with command poweroff.
Now I am not able to boot to 10.04
How ever I am able to get to 9.04 and continue work.
Let me know what should I do to over come this situation on 10.04 64 bit.

^^ This is insufficient detail to diagnose the problem.

What happens?
Do you get a grub menu?
What option did you choose?
Have you tried recovery mode?
What happens in recovery mode?

Grub comes

Ubuntu with kernel  vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic

Just to answer your question I mounted the 10.04 partitions here in
9.04 and to my surprise I see menu.lst missing
and this one is a desktop environment I see /etc/grub/
has nothing other than 20_memtest86+

I choose the Ubuntu 10.04 option to which I was referring to.

Yes but I do not know in recovery mode what to do.

I am able to get root shell and but gnome does not start.

That is just FF asking for favicon.ico, which does not exist (google
to find out what favicon is).  It seems that apache is running fine,
you must look elsewhere for the problem.

What URL are you entering in FF?  What new entries do you see in the
log when you do that?

I had checked this message from the above link
where
Alkis Georgopoulos  says he has released a patch here
https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1450007/+listing-archive-extra
but how do I go ahead with this part is not clear to me.

Don't change file modes, unless you understand why it has to be done.
Don't change file modes of all files if only a subset is really wanted.
Bottom line: don't do this at all.

@OP:
Think twice before following advice of someone giving such tips.

Try instead "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" at recovery  
with networking.

I did that. Now when I click on a file it says to you want to display it or
run in terminal ?

When i say run in terminal nothing happens, when i say display it ,it open
in gedit. How do i get it to open in FF.No the php scripts should have
execute permissions.

This is the first time, I think, that you have explained that the
problem is that FF is not being used to open the file.
Right click a php file and select Properties.  Select Open With.
Select FF if it is there, otherwise select Add and tell it to use FF.
It will then use that for all php files.  That is for Ubuntu 10.10, it
may be slightly different on other versions.

My apologies for the lack of clarity. I did as you told me, now FF says what
helper program should I use to open this file ?

Subject: Changing default paper size for Java apps
Message-ID: <AANLkTin=+T=-3P_fib226pLEGeDfCdcSmCfeSjeTpPOz@mail.gmail.com>

The printer preferences in System | Administration | Printing lets you
change the default paper size for each printer, but some apps don't
respect this, including Firefox, XulRunner - and the JVM.

I've found how to set the default paper size using the "about:config"
URL in Firefox and XulRunner, but is there any way to change the
default paper size used by the JVM? I've Googled but all I'm finding
is stuff about memory page sizes, which is irrelevant.

Hi Ashim,

That is not the right way to open php scripts, you should navigate to them
using yout browser. If you simply double click the php file, firefox will
load something like:*

file:///var/www/myscript.php*

It won't work because php needs to be interpreted on demand. Apache, your
webserver runs this task diferently it invokes the php interpreter runs it
and the result is then presented to the browser. For that you to access,
thru your browser, something like

*http://localhost/myscript.php*



For debugging, try reading */var/log/apache2/error.log* or something like
that.

Vistually no computer system stops working without human intervention,
you've done something that changed the way it works, it would be helpful if
you share with us how everything was before and after the error started.

Atenciosamente,

How would i open this file:///var/www/Php and MySql Bible/ch4/file1.php with

If there is something fundamentally wrong with your partition layout, it 
is far beyond my my understanding to see it.  I do find the gaps between 
partitions a little odd.  My guess was that some partitions were 
created/resized by a program that aligned them to track or cylinder, and 
some partitions were not.  At first I thought that Lucid had aligned 
some new partitions to Mib, but only one of your partitions starts at a 
sector that is evenly divisble by 8 (which indicates it would be 
properly aligned for newer 4k sector drives.)

In either case, either there is something wrong here that I don't see, 
some of your partition meta data is wrong/corrupted in such a way that 
does not seem to negatively affect the kernel and fdisk, you have found 
some obscure bug in libparted, or some unholy combination of the above. 
My suggestion(s) therefore:

Find the libparted support forum/mailing list and bring this to their 
attention.  I would think, if you do get this noticed by one of the 
developers there, they would know more about partitioning than anyone on 
Ubuntu Users list.

Whether what causes the issue is identified or not, so as to avoid 
potential future snags, I would re-partition this drive.  And by 
repartition, I mean, backup each partition, zero the drive (dd 
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda) and start from scratch.  But hold off on this 
step if you are not comfortable with resolving UUID issues that come 
from drive transfer (either by recording and restoring your original 
UUID's, or changing the system files where UUID's are needed)

No problems here, in either FF or Chromium.

Subject: Fixing a broken server update
Message-ID: <AANLkTimMiRiX_H=GS3PNPs6Ldk6Pvtf28uK59eUZOsfy@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I was recently installing updates to several remote 8.04 servers. The first
three went fine. The fourth one hung at:

 Setting up linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-28-server (2.6.24-28.47)

Which is a bad place. After 30 minutes I hit ctl-c. It seems most of the
rest of the update went fine. But then it hangs again at:

 update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-28-server

Again, ctl-c. Which gets to the end. Now trying to run 'dpkg --configure
-a', hit hangs indefinitely at:

 # dpkg --configure -a
 Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu39.3) ...
 update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

 Setting up linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-28-server (2.6.24-28.47) ...

Right now apt is completely broken. It won't do anything until this gets
fixed. This is a server in use and I am limited what I can do with it. Any
ideas?

*/var/www/* is the root folder of Apache, everything inside it would be in *
localhost/*

Example:
/var/www/myscript.php = http://localhost/myscript.php

/var/www/some_directory/myscript.php = http://localhost/some_directory/
myscript.php

and so on.

This rule can be modified, by using mod_rewrite you can create rules mapping
the url to specific scripts. That is a more complex aproach, i think the
best is to master absolute paths and urls, and only after that try to learn
about mod_rewrite.

Not in the last month or two. There are no errors in the logs. Its a remote
server that is in production, so some things are more difficult than others.
And, assuming there is a problem, I still have a broken apt system, I would
assume.

Here is a situation I am in many different networks and due to my work
some times I am on static IP and some times wifi.
So in case I go to recovery how do I set the wifi because Network
Manager Gnome will over write the entry during the re
installation.Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Hai,
just when you were typing this email I was crying for a similar
situation which now led to complete failure of my server.
Wise people always learn from the fault that others do so consider my
suggestion worth some thing

1) Make a strong backup if possible clone the environment some where
and test your upgrades on this clone.


The instructions here are worth looking
2) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

In case you feel above does not help then you can post some thing
similar to what I did here
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/144560/+login
create a new thread
people there helped me to their best but my luck was not with me.

My backup even was having a buggy update so I ultimately have to format it.

Thanks, I have good backups, that is not an issue, for me. Its a production
server right now so taking the time to re-install is not a good thing.

I followed the instructions above, but when I got to the autoclean stuff,
apt kicks in, finds a partially installed package (the one in question), and
we go back to square one, where it hangs indefinitely.

I tried to follow the above link's instructions (not sure if I did it
right though), but I keep getting the same error message:

"Could not determine the upgrade..."

Here's what I did:

I run Synaptic and went to Settings -> Repositories and unchecked
everything on Ubuntu Software tab, Updates tab and deleted all entries
in Other Software tab (most of them were Jaunty and Karmic). Then
reloaded and exit Synaptic.

I'm not quite sure what the Update Manager's list is.

I also went to /etc/apt/ and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and checked
various sources.* files in there but they were all commented out. So I'm
clueless (again).

I agree. I'm running the new 10.2 flash update just fine in firefox. No problems at all. tested both the BBC and YouTube.

I suspect the OP has some other issue.

It's broken for me too and many other users. After watching a flash video,
the video frame won't go away even after closing the browser and the whole
desktop looks really messed up.

Sounds more like a video driver issue to me. The new flash plugin has some hardware acceleration features, that I guess could cause some issues with some drivers ....

Are you sure you were opening php files by clicking?  Not just html,
which *will* open directly in FF.

Runs fine here on Maverick....so well as a matter of fact I went to Adobe and got it for my
Debian Sid installation. Runs fine there as well.

It could be... but at least for me that happened on 2 computers different
drivers (but both have nvidia graphics cards) so it's clear its not an
isolated issue.

Exactly what card do you have and what driver are you running ? If it is driver/hardware specific, we need this info to pin things down.

FWISW, I'm running my ubuntu 10.10 installation in an VMware virtual machine (Fusion). So a bit of a corner case....

On this computer I run nvidia 260.19-06-0ubuntu1 with an Geforce GT 220. On
my work computer I don't remember, I'll have to check it out tomorrow (but I
have some newer drivers from the x-swat PPA).


I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 32bit on both computers.

I would suggest using the one on the adobe website, it most likely has
a bug fix for it. I has a similar problem on a production machine at
work, and getting the version form the website foxed it

Interesting - that doesn't show up even in my Synaptic listing.  What

I advise against this. You most like screw things up for future releases, and there is no reason to think the version you get via the normal ubuntu channels is any different than from adobe direct. There *might* be a slight delay if abode releases a fix, before ubuntu makes it available, but still I suggest you hold out and wait.

Rashkae,
Thanks very much for the attention you have given my problem. I have 
done nothing extraordinary when I initialized the drive. I did that 
approx. 3 months ago when I replaced a faulty disk but I simply cannot 
remember how I exactly did it. When I still had my business we logged 
all those things but since my retirement I have become very sloppy in 
logging events that are not logged automatically.
I will follow your advice and start looking into the libparted forum and 
see if there some info can be given. At the moment I will keep the disk 
as is and not do all the hassle of repartitioning as I don't think it a 
serious error. It is not that I cannot cope with UUID's etc. but at the 
moment it's too much of a hassle to do as I need time for my other 
activities (although that sounds strange from a pensioner!).
I will keep you posted.
Joep

Most odd as adobe-flashplugin is in main.
On a couple of machines I've had to apt-get install adobe-flashplugin as it was originally installed using flashplugin-installer.  This un-installs flashplugin-installer so if there is a problem with the new version of the plugin you can revert to the 10.1 version with apt-get install flashplugin-installer.

Subject: SD Card Will Only Mount Once Per Boot
Message-ID: <4D531CE2.1000109@weblore.com>

After Boot, I insert an SD Card into the reader. Shortly afterward, I 
see it mounted as a 1 GB Filesystem on my desktop. It is completely 
usable at that time.

I right click it and select Safely Remove. I then remove the card from 
the reader.

A bit later, I reinsert the card (or another one). Nothing happens, the 
card does not get mounted anywhere.

The card will not mount again until I boot the system. There might be 
something else that would restore it, but I have no idea what that would 
be. After I reboot, the above sequence can be repeated ... ONCE. After 
it is removed, it is unusable until the machine is rebooted.

There HAS to be something else that would work. I'd be happy with a 
manual way to mount / unmount it - ANYTHING is better than this. I've 
tried googling for these symptoms without help.

Can anyone help?

Which version of Ubuntu, which kernel, etc.? I had a similar problem with 
CD/DVD drives behaving as you describe. It was finally fixed with a new 
kernel and was on Lucid x64.

Don't know, never had this problem before; but I'd guess it shouldn't  
affect the network config files. Why not use the wire then? Anyway, it is  
not too much of a hassle to reinput the wireless passkeys, if need be.

I made a quick check of the device plugins contained in Calibre and did not 
see your device listed.  

I suggest you look at the help page for Calibre, http://calibre-ebook.com/help 
then go look at their help lists for your device.  There you will find info on 
how to contact them for different plugins.

Your conversion problems may stem from the lack of the device plugin in 
Calibre.

I use calibre to convert pdf to epub for my Nook all the time with few 
problems.

Mariano, what the link says and your error message

means that you need to disable your other non-official repository packages  
first, that is
o all ppa repositories
o all other manually installed packages... dpkg -i xxxx.deb

You do not have to disable your ubuntu packages.

As an example, if I installed Opera through their web page " dpkg -i  
....opera.deb"
and if I have some ppa repository enabled, .....installed Firefox4.0  
beta... this is what I should do *before* I try to upgrade to maverick.

sudo apt-get remove opera
sudo apt-get remove firefox4.0_beta
go to synaptic..remove ppa repository
sudo apt-get update/upgrade       (this is important)

Then and only then go and upgrade to maverick.

ps: after the successful upgrade, you can always get back your opera  
(without downloading again), but I don't think you can with the ppa  
packages.


Hope this is clear.

Good luck, regards - Goh Lip

This may be related to which version of Ubuntu you are running, so
providing that information might help us help you.

However, that said, you seem to be under the misimpression that the
flash card is a device.  On my system, I have to disconnect the flash
card reader itself, switch flash cards and reconnect the reader.
Changing the flash card itself is not enough because it isn't a device
as recognized by the OS, the reader is the device and a lot of readers
don't handle the cards as if they were interchangeable devices (i.e.,
once it's out, the reader is functionally dead until you disconnect an
reconnect it).

This may not be true of all readers, but that's how mine works. YMMV.

Oh, after I sent this message, I realised that since you do not have any  
connection, you may not have updated/upgraded your system at all and so  
your upgrade to maverick fails. So...sorry, you may not be able to carry  
out the upgrade to maverick this way if this is the case. You may have to  
fresh-install your system then.

I run several unofficial packages, most that I get direct from the
producer, like LibreOffice, Adobe Flash and a few others, and I have
never had to remove those packages just to update the OS.  That seems
like a *huge* flaw in the whole package management system.

I don't use PPAs other than the official repositories, but I would be
very surprised if there isn't some way to set them up to be
subordinate to the official ones, or somehow set them aside so they
can be ignored during an update.

E.g., under RH/rpm distros, yum has a plugin for setting repository
priorities so that the base/primary repositories (i.e., for
updates/upgrades) get priority over others and can therefore be used
to update the system regardless of what is in the ancillary
repositories that may be enabled.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10

The flash card reader is built into the printer. It mounted every time 
in older versions of Ubuntu. It mounted every time in PCLinuxOS. It 
mounted every time in Fedora (I've been doing some distro hopping). It's 
only now that it doesn't.

I've been using Adobe Flash 64 Beta and "Square" for a long time now
with no issues (10,3,162,29)

Just remove any trace of a previous Flash install, download "Square" from

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html

Extract libflashplayer.so to home/$/.mozilla/plugins/

Restart Firefox and it's done.

If others can confirm this behavior, it sound ripe for reporting as a bug.

This could be related to the bugs I reported to Ubuntu and Gnome
w.r.t. flash drivesnot unmouting properly with "Safely Remove Drive."

And, since you don't use ppa's, I'd inform you that the upgrade will  
automatically disable your ppa repositories too
(again, provided you're connected). Hope you'll read the messages more  
carefully before remarking.

My (failing) memory recalls someone, somewhere, stating that - for him - 
it took _two_ requests with "Safely Remove Drive" to get the thingy

I went back and re-read the whole thread - you didn't say that before.
You specified that all external packages and ppas would have to be
manually removed/disabled.  I have not seen a need to remove external
packages and commented on your stated necessity of removing ppas.  I
thought you then agreed with that.

BTW, I always update while connected and avoid upgrades wherever
possible, so perhaps my concerns/issues just don't apply.

That was me (and then several others).  The bugs are filed at

I don't know if that and this (flash card issue) are related, but I
have my suspicions....

I'm feeling like I left part of my brain asleep today - I'm not seeing
this on my workstation at all.  I have flashplugin,
flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree, but nothing at all for
adobe-flashplugin.

What am I missing?

I am running 32-bit Maverick with the latest nVidia driver which, 
together with the adobe flashplugin, came from Canonical via the Update 
Manager.

An interesting thing: the Synaptic Package Manager shows that the new 
plugin is installed and yet in Firefox's list of installed plugins the 
old (v10.1r-something) was showing - the new plugin was not recognised[1].

[1] After I checked this out I went and changed the symlink in 
/etc/alternatives to point to the old plugin so I now once again can 
view the videos on YouTube and the BBC.

Sounds like you are using Firefox directly from Mozilla and installing 
it in your home directory - which is what I used to do until 12 months 
ago. The installation of firefox which comes with Ubuntu, and 
'maintained' by Canonical, does not use the /home/.mozilla/plugins/ - 
the symlink there is "dead"; the plugin for FF is in 
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins.

Oh Noop, you made me cry. <sniff> Not! Re-read again, my original quote.
I said "STYLE would dictate softening the blow." What part of that do
you not comprehend?? Are you not conversant with the word STYLE? It's
how one carries oneself. So, unless you are faced with a complete
bonehead, which I have little respect for, you can offer up an RTFM in a
manner that they will like it. That was my point all along. To use some
STYLE. 

I agree with the notion of RTFM, as in real life, if you don't research
things on your own, you might find yourself in difficulties that have
legal repercussions. We daily work with folks who didn't RTFM and wound
up in crowbar hotel, blinking and looking bewildered. They did not
perform "Due Diligence" and paid for it, along with their friends and
families. 

So, the trick is to convey that this forum is no substitute for doing
some basic searching and that this isn't the place to learn how to set
up your own private network from scratch, without reading up on it at
least some, on their own. Again, using STYLE, the recipient might
appreciate the advice. If they don't, well they're in the bonehead camp
and best ignored. Anyone else fail to comprehend this? Ric

I was about to add the same thing. For once I decided to install the
latest firefox from mozilla. What a mistake. All of my plugins died. I
decided I would not venture out of the synaptic approved packages
again. :) Ric

Have you tried to clean out "/var/cache/apt/archives/" and
"/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/" either directly or through
apt-get/aptitude?

You probably have also installed adobe flash via web.

In my Firefox plugins, adobe flash never appears.

Maybe I am not understanding you. Okay, I don't understand (sorry, got in  
the mood to talk chinese engrish). But why not just get your gdm desktop  
in order first (with wired connection) and then sort out the wireless  
network (if any) problem later on?

After latest upgrade of flash in both 32 and 64 bit, I can also report 
there's no problem with all the browsers here.

32 bits -
firefox 4.0 beta
opera 11 beta

64 bits -
opera 11 beta
firefox 3.6
chromium 9


It is clear that the responses here differ from you. Hope you sort out 
your problem as others have suggested. Good luck.

Some of my software applications need to relay mail to my account
which exist on the corporate data centre.
I want to know (I have forgotten the name of software in a recent
format of disc which I was using it is not zimbra or axigen I
correctly remember this)
what software can relay the mails on your behalf (it is not a full mail server)
just acts as a proxy between your application and the corporate data
centres mail server.This all is on a Ubuntu server.

I clicked "Safely Remove" - which I think is an unmount. I'll try the 
eject. It's a bit slow as I have to reboot in between tests.

I really don't understand you. How could you have a wired/wireless problem  
if you cannot even boot up ?

Are you even on the same thread you started? Or is this another one that  
you asked "for fun" as you told me on some other thread I tried to help a  
few months back?

Subject: flaky residential router
Message-ID: <iivngu$n43$1@dough.gmane.org>

I have a strange, intermittent, connection problem.  Oddly enough, the 
wireless part of the router seems to work fine.  However, the computer 
will periodically experience connectivity problems only solved by a 
reboot.

I try:

ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth1 down; ifconfig eth0 up; ifconfig eth1 
up; ifconfig; ping 192.168.1.1 


and the router's available, however I cannot ping google.com, I get 
"network unavailable" which, given that the wireless connection is 
working, this is kinda odd.  (Yes, the wireless is connected to my 
router, not to my neighbors -- I double checked.)

I've tried powercycling the router, but get the same result as above.  
However, restarting the computer allows a reconnection.

Obviously, I need to replace the router.  However, that doesn't explain 
what's going on.  Why would restarting the computer have any effect?  If 
I was on Windows, I'd suspect corrupted system files or something along 
those lines.


thanks,

Thufir

No I'm not, this is a clean Maverick 64 install (/home is indeed from
previous installs) with Firefox embedded and I just (today) upgraded
Flash 64 this way. Seemingly  /home/.mozilla/plugins/ isn't dead yet.

The reason I asked are for the "little" things like:

linux.gif Squeezebox Server v7.5.3
http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download

which, quite nicely, has a little penguin :)
There's even a penguin on the box!

Apparently, it's to stream music from the pc to the radio.  I was more 
concerned about configuration, but there's usually some software to 
install for most devices.

Nice indeed Thufir,

And your Linux desktop would work as a server.

But I'd still buy a huge set of speakers instead. :-)

Just tested the above procedure on Natty 64 running on VMware.

Created /home/$/.mozilla/plugins

Went to:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html

Extracted "Adobe Flash Player "Square" Preview Release" on it.

Restarted Firefox 4.0b11

@http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

"You have version 10,3,162,29 installed"

It works.

At this point I would assume either user corruption (most likely not the 
issue ~ even on Windows...) or NIC chip issues (the most likely), not 
the router.  Your entire statement implies that obviously it's something 
on the computer itself and not the router.

First, use a Live CD to see if you have the same issue, if you do not 
then it was user based driver corruption most likely.  If you do then go 
buy a cheap NIC card (they're as little as $10 USD ~ some computer shops 
have some on hand they use for quick diagnostics that they would let you 
use real quick) and see if it has the same connection problems on your 
production machine, if it does not then it's obviously the NIC chip in 
the computer.

On computers the wireless chip is not the same as your wired chip so 
each could function without the other reliably even in a router one 
could function without the other unless it's a software issue but at 
this point restarting the router does not work to re-establish a 
connection and an entire machine restart is required which would lead 
most people to believe it's an issue with the computer, not the router.

I think what you want is Nullmailer or a software like it.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/nullmailer

Note: Exim, Postfix and QMailer all have that ability too.

Hi Jordon many thanks yes this exactly the same software which I was installed.

I went thru all those gyrations for weeks and still no Flash so I found one 
instruction that said to put the libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/firefox-
addons/plugins.  It replaced the link and has worked fine on both FF3.6 and FF4 
Beta 10 and 11.

Dont know why but success is all I'm iterested in now.  BTW, it still does not 
work on abc.news.

That's associated with nvidia chips on motherboards. The thread started

This is the same thing on one laptop 2 versions of Ubuntu are
installed so that in situations like these at least I am able to work.
The question I asked is about 10.04 where during an unclean shutdown
has caused not to boot which still exists.
I am still on same thread.
The problem of wifi/lan is when you install gnome-desktop environment
in recovery mode
Network Manager gnome during installation of this curropt environment
will over write the network entries.
That is what I asked it has nothing to do with Ubuntu 9.04 my problem
of 10.04 is still there and that is what for I started the thread
originally.

Hi Dave! I am just starting to learn C++ (I know a touch of C and some
Java and PHP), and this snippet is a great example of useful
real-world code. Do you have any more snippets that you would like to
share? My goal is to ramp up my C++ for Google Summer of Code this
year.

Thanks!

Firstly don't reply to a digest.
Secondly don't quote a question which has nothing to do with your query
Thirdly, please use a descriptive subject line.

Do you have the correct list? This is the Ubuntu User Technical Support list.

Certainly not until you pay attention to this one line in the digest
that you receive:

"When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is
more specific than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-users digest..."

You've also copied the digest to ask a one-line question.  Don't /DO/
that!
Otherwise most folks will just delete your message without reading it.

Besides, Ubuntu already ships with at least 18 RSS readers.  How would
your mock-ups improve on those?  Have you tried them all?

Is the default route wired or wireless? (eth0 or eth1). Are you using
network manager?

Try just bringing up the wireless by itself. But if you do use NM run
through the settings and set the wireless as default route. It could
be Ubuntu's trying to use the wired as default and doesn't use the
wireless.

Perhaps it reads to us.  I wouldn't mind that since I'm usually busy and 
sometimes cannot read the news myself so it would be nice to have it 
read to me? One probably already does that though...

I need to set up a few ubuntu based systems to dial home via PPTP. These

I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and I am wondering what approaches
other people have taken.

Any help, and comments are appreciated. Thank You

Absolutely. It sounds like some kind of tribal cult: "this is how we

or leave it".

Nice, indeed.

And the guy also choose a funny example, since I effectively shouted 
more than once to search the fucking web in the face of my mom and dad 
when they ask infuriatingly obvious technical questions. :)

Try using namespace statements in an as small scope as possible. Global
namespace statements is an attempt to defeat the namespace mechanism.

strcpy() is too C.

A more elegant C++ implementation is the following:

// It creates a DirTestOutput text file in your home directory.

#include <string>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <fstream>

int main(void)
{
	using std::ofstream;
	using std::string;

	ofstream DirTest;

	int myuid;

	passwd *mypasswd;

	string TestFileName;

	myuid = getuid();

	mypasswd = getpwuid(myuid);


	TestFileName= mypasswd->pw_dir;

	TestFileName+= "/DirTestOutput";


	DirTest.open(TestFileName.c_str());

	DirTest << "This is a test\n\n";

	DirTest << "My uid is " << myuid << "\n\n";

	DirTest.close();
}



Another C++ implementation that shows your home directory and UID on the
screen only, is the following:


// It shows your home directory and UID on the screen.

#include <iostream>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <fstream>

int main(void)
{
	using namespace std;

	int myuid;

	passwd *mypasswd;

	myuid = getuid();

	mypasswd = getpwuid(myuid);


	cout<<"\nYour home directory is: "<< mypasswd->pw_dir<< "\n\n"
		<<"Your UID is: "<< myuid<< "\n\n";
}

Do you have your computer network IPv4 settings to "Automatic (DHCP)"?

In other words, I think you may have two computers with the same network
address.

And more compact versions, by using object definitions at the place they
are first needed (and omitting the DirTest.close() statement, since it
is at the end of main() anyway), are the following:


// It creates a DirTestOutput text file in your home directory.

#include <string>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <fstream>

int main(void)
{
	using std::string;
	
        int myuid = getuid();

        passwd *mypasswd = getpwuid(myuid);

        string TestFileName= string(mypasswd->pw_dir)+ "/DirTestOutput";

        std::ofstream DirTest(TestFileName.c_str());

        DirTest << "This is a test\n\n";

        DirTest << "My uid is " << myuid << "\n\n";
}



// It shows your home directory and UID on the screen.

#include <iostream>
#include <pwd.h>

int main(void)
{
     int myuid = getuid();

     passwd *mypasswd = getpwuid(myuid);

     std::cout<<"\nYour home directory is: "<< mypasswd->pw_dir<< "\n\n"
              <<"Your UID is: "<< myuid<< "\n\n";
}

So I guess I have no choice but to fresh-install Ubuntu.

Which however don't help if you want to listen to music away from the 
huge set of speakers, like in another floor. :)

Remember that you can do an install without re-formatting the root
directory.  Then it will replace all the system stuff but leave your
home folder, so you will not loose your users and config stuff.  Just
make sure you select *not* to re-format /.  I think you may have to go
down the 'Advanced' option in the install to do this.

Is this another Nvidia problem?  It does sound like a video problem, what

Have you checked out XBMC media center? It's supposed to be the end-all
of streaming audio/video applications for the home/web. It's a monster
of an application. Maybe it will fit your bill. It's in the repo's.
Also, check http://xbmc.org/ for detailed information. It's a little bit
CPU intensive, but that's OK for a dedicated standalone server. Ric

[10.10]-How To Run a Separate X Server?

Hi,

How would I run a Windows program using Wine
in a separate X Server?

I've read that doing the above
may improve performance of the game.

Do I need a second monitor to do this?

I asked in the Wine mailing list and they said ask here.
Thanks!

OK then, I'll keep that in mind when time comes to proceed with
fresh-installing. Great tip! Thanks for your help Colin.

Will the not-to-reformat-/ option leave the file system as it is now
(ext3) then? Should I upgrade it to ext4?

Perhaps not yet, but yesterday André Klapper (one of the Gnome

means it will get some real attention soon.

Upgrade to ext4 definitely, in all circumstances. Back up and format.

This is really optional, but if you do, be sure to follow the advice

wired.  No, not using network manager.  Both NIC's, eth0 and eth1, do the 
same thing.

> Try just bringing up the wireless by itself.

Pardon, my initial message might have implied something incorrectly.

The only wireless device I have is an internet radio, which connects to 
the router wirelessly.

For wired devices, there's just a "skype phone" and the computer.  Now, 
the computer has *two* NIC's:  a built-in and auxilary.

I've switched the ethernet cable between one NIC and the other on the 
computer, then used ifconfig, and then even switched back to the first 
NIC, without progress.  I left that out by accident, pardon.  That both 
NIC's would have the same problem is why I suspect the router (which I 
bought used.)

When I powercycle the router, and then use ifconfig, I can see the lights 
illuminate, but they don't flicker -- just a single blink.  The router 
can be pinged fine under these circumstances, just not google/etc.  The 
oddity here is that the skype phone, connected with ethernet, and the 
wireless radio, work fine.

(From time to time, the skype phone does something similar, in that it 
will freeze or crash, but not nearly as often as the computer.)

It's more an oddity.  I can't see how or why I should be able to ping the 
router, but not the internet and *yet* the "internet" is working for 
other devices.  Finally, why would rebooting the computer fix the 
connectivity in a way bringing the interfaces down and then up doesn't?

Hope that helped to explain it, and I didn't just muddy the waters!

Okay, now it's worse.

I uninstalled the flashplugin-installer yesterday to see what would
happen.  At first, nothing did.  Today I get the Update Manager
looking to install some updates including the flashplugin-installer,
so I figure why not.

Ouch.

It works fine in Firefox, but in Chrome, I now have an image of the
one and only flash I played stamped on the screen where it first came
up.  It persists even between invocations of Chrome (close and
reopen), and it is ugly.

It played fine, but this is really annoying - like an icon that won't
go away.  It doesn't interfere with anything, it just stains the
screen.

Any suggestions?

The "stain" remains on the screen in the same place even if I move the
Chrome window to a different part of the sceen, or a different
workspace.  Yike.

OTOH, if I start some other app (e.g., terminal) where the stain is,
it doesn't show in them, just Chrome and just in that same space on
the screen.

A few more that may be of interest:

[Safely remove drive is not safe for SD card readers]
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/660010
[No 'safely remove' option is present in the unity menu when a usb disk

The last is 'Unity' related, but does give some interesting info
regarding 'Safely Remove Drive' and 'Eject'. Also see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597864
whiche seems to be related to the loss of the device until reboot.
And that last points to:

Some laptops like the Dell Mini 10 have builtin SD card readers which

the eject button in nautilus, the card reader device gets ejected and
disconnected, and cannot be reactivated ever, except by a reboot.

What does your /etc/resolv.conf file contain? If it's empty, therein may
lie the problem. Ric

You should try by logging in to a command-line terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) 
and then issuing

X :1

or

startx -- :1

where :1 means that you're opening the X session on the second display 
(your normal session is on :0).

Sure... provide details. For example:

What version of Ubuntu, what kernel, what architecture (I'll assume its
64bit as you are asking about flashplugin-installer vs
adobe-flashplugin), what desktop, what version of Chrome, or is it
Chromium?, what does about:plugins show (both in FF and Chrome), what does:
$ apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer
show?, what does:
$ locate libflashplayer.so
show?

Did we ever find out exactly what hardware is playing up?  None of the thirty 
machines I take care of have had any problem at all.  I sent a email around 
today to suggest that each of them hold off on updating to the new Flash-plug-
in only to find out that everyone of them had already updated!  It really must 
be different than nvidia as several of them have nvidia cards in their 
machines.

Nah, that's too much work and too many questions....  :-)

Ubuntu 10.10 64, Gnome 2.32, Google Chrome 8.0.552.237, (about:plugins
is WAY too long, but only because the problem went away on
log-out-in), and:

Intel M/B, Quad-Xeon CPU (8 cores), 4GB memory, NVidia Quadro FX 580
with nvidia proprietary 260.19.21 driver.

All of that works fine, it was just that weird Chrome ghost image
that's now gone.  I re-ran the video that caused it originally, and it
had no side effects any more.

This should not be a problem. All you need to do is to change the 
symlink(s) to point to the correct destination. For example, for 
flashplayer it should point to 
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so .

I was installing the "bleeding edge" versions of both FF and Thunderbird 
daily for many years - until I got sick of doing so and now simply rely 
on what Ubuntu supplies.

How do I install a package from a Debian repositories I am facing a

"Until this issue is fixed in Ubuntu using the dnsproxy_1.16-0.1

Yes it is.

I could have added, "until the question has been resolved" but I 
consider people here intelligent enough to deduce this for themselves.

This is not as useful as suggested because while the above is showing on 
my system......

....this is NOT what shows up in my about:plugins. What shows up is 
filename: libgnashplugin.so and the version is 10.1.r999. What is 
installed is not reflected in what Firefox actually "sees" and tries to 
use (the *.so in /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so ).



> Works well for me:

[pruned]

And as you saw, while it may be working for you it certainly hasn't been 
working for others - and certainly not for me.

However, as the Subject heading is now showing, I have solved the 
problem but I do not know why the problem should have arisen - someone 
else can go and figure that one out.

I'll start the solution by mentioning following:

(1) on the Adobe site itself there appears to be different versions of 
the same plugin and this depends on whether you download the *.deb 
version (12,110,428 bytes) or the *.tar.gz version (12,127,284 bytes);

(2) the *.so from Ubuntu is 12,110,348 bytes big;

(3) if you go to a web site (eg BBC Online) you will be 'told' that you 
do not have the correct flashplayer installed and if you then download 
the flashplayer using the given link and install it (using nautilus) the 
flashplayer.so which is installed is for HARDY (10.2.152.27-0hardy1) and 
not for Maverick;

(4) following the installation of the latest flashplayer plugin 
(10.2.152.27 for Maverick) using the Update Manager, while the 
libflashplayer.so is correctly installed in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplayer/ 
the symlink(s) to it are rubbish in /etc/alternatives/ : the symlink(s) 
is/are changed to point to /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so and not to 
the correct location;

(5) there are 6 symlinks to the plugin in /etc/alternatives:

firefox-flashplugin
mozilla-ditto
iceape-ditto
iceweasel-ditto
xulrunner-ditto
xulrunner-addons-ditto

and all these get changed to /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so when 
adobe-flashplayer is removed in the Synaptic Package Manager and then 
re-installed ---- and this is reproducible (I think 5 times should be 
enough to prove this); also as soon as the plugin is removed 
about:plugins in Firefox shows that the version of the *.so being used 
is v10.1.r999 (but apt-cache policy shows that no plugin is installed);

(6) the solution for me was to re-install adobe-flashplayer in Synaptic, 
and then in /etc/alternatives/ edit the symlink for 
"mozilla-flashplugin" to show 
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplayer/libflashplayer.so after which about:plugins 
in FF correctly shows that the latest plugin is being used - and I can 
now view videos on all sites.

See my post with SOLVED in the Subject heading.

Something screwy going on but I don't know what or why. Next stage is to 
let the Update Manager install the plugin on my wife's computer and see 
if the same problem occurs.

Note that the system is under very heavy load (both CPUs near 100% due
to some heavy work that Digikam is doing in the background) yet the
processes stay at 1000 MHz. I've looked for some CPU-throttling applet
in KDE, but other than the Battery Applet which does not even mention
CPU speed I can't find a thing. Note that this is a desktop system,
not a laptop. Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.6.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

at one point in time you installed
mozilla-plugin-gnash/browser-plugin-gnash. I've found in the past that
gnash conflicts with with adobe flash... haven't tracked down exactly
why, but it does.

Running Lucid 32 - I started getting the same problem after a recent
update - sometimes no network at all, of any kind, in any direction.
Rebooting brings it back [so far]. I was not able to get it running
without a reboot. In my case it is not the router because other boxes
on the router work fine. All is wired, no wireless. Before the update
I never had this problem - the network ran reliably. Perhaps something
re the update? Did your system work well before an update?

Perhaps someone could suggest where and what to look for the next time
it happens, to help diagnose it.

    Of you have only one graphic card, it's not possible to have two X servers
  driving the card *and* displaying together. You can have one that displays
  images at a time, not both. I think the "performance improvements" come
  from the fact that the secondary X server does not have all the extra-gear
  (monitors, moving background, fancy clock, cdrom-checker, whatever). In
  that case startx -- :1 is probably your friend.

   You can try to log out, go to a console, startx -- :1 and see whether you
  notice any difference in speed. If not then just do not care about the
  secondary X server and start on the main one.

Purge gnash. Or use gnash or adobe flash, but not both together.

With KDE go into the KDE system settings app, click on / advanced /
power management and check the various settings in there. The
"performance" setting would be what you want, I think. Make sure it's
not trying to kill a CPU, or something related, in order to save power,
as if it were a laptop. Ric

Why?  I know there are some improvements but are they so important
that I should immediately reformat all my machines?  It seems to me
that is only necessary if there are security issues.

I also suspect a KDE power management issue. However, in KDE 4.6 there
is no longer any way to adjust the CPU speed as per the power
management profiles. Of course I leave it on Performance, but there is
no mention CPU speed anywhere.

Ok you know I now know what confused me.

I was first making html files. When i clicked them they opened.

Then I started making php files which did not open and this gave me the
impression that they were earlier opening but not anymore. I think i have
taken up a lot of time of people for which i am grateful and I apologize if
I was not clear enough. I am a beginner at LAMP development.

One more query I want to know. If I have a folder with spaces in the name
like
/var/www/My folder
which has php files in it, how do I open it in my address bar?

Many thanks for all your help,
Ashim

Better not to have such folders, but otherwise google for url escape
codes.   Also probably better not to have capitals in url, it will
just confuse people, and it depends on the server OS whether it will
be case sensitive or not.

Spambayes gave all messages in this thread a score between 0.20 and 0.30,
which puts them in the unsure folder. I'll help Spambayes and move them

Subject: reboot hangs
Message-ID: <20110211090814.GA14027@trefle>

Hello,

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 10 km away, it is unusable
but I don't known how to reboot, with a SSH connection.
I tried:
	reboot -f
	kill -9 -1
	kill -15 -1

df shows NFS mounts (as administrator I know),
but also a CD and several USB devices.
I tried some 'umount -f' and 'umount -l', they hang.

Is there anything to do to remotely force a reboot?
The box is 10km away, it is a small PC without IPMI.

sudo shutdown -r now

The -r says to restart

1) Point a browser to <packages.debian.org> and search for dnsproxy in 
the archive "unstable".

2) Find the package you are looking for, and follow the link to the page 
<http://packages.debian.org/sid/dnsproxy>.

3) Find the link for downloading the package for your architecture, and 
choose a mirror.

4) Open the package file and install it. In Maverick it opens with the 
correct program by default, if it does not, you can probably either open 
it with gdebi, or type "dpkg -i package-file.deb" at the command line.

You probably already know that mixing debian and ubuntu is not 
recommended in general, and you seem to have good reason to try it in 
this case.

Not only isn't recommended but in the case of dnsproxy it makes no
sense whatsoever because the Ubuntu and Debian repositories have
exactly the same versions.

Ok.I was not clear on this part only because when I tried installing
them it did not worked.

What didn't work?

This is a package that's in Ubuntu's universe repository so it's
exactly the same as the one in the Debian repository. If you think
that the package that you downloaded is damaged, you should change
your sources.list to point to another repository and try again.

packages.debian.org has been broken since squeeze went stable.

I suppose the KDE team thought it was too complicated for the average user to 
set the CPU speed... KDE 4.7 will no more feature the shutdown option because 
the average user might forget how to turn his computer on again (*sigh*)

Ok, so you can get into a recovery console.

It would be helpful to see the output of some commands. From step 4
onwards if you get any output, run the command again with "|
pastebinit" on the end and you'll get a URL showing the output, paste
those URLs here.

e.g. if you run "apt-get update" and you get some output (which you
should) then run "apt-get update | pastebinit" and note the URL.

1. Plug computer into a wired network
2. Boot to recovery mode root prompt of 10.04
3. apt-get install pastebinit
(this will allow you to paste stuff)
4. dpkg --configure -a
(to do any pending config / updates)
5. apt-get update
(to do an update)
6. apt-get dist-upgrade
7. update-grub

Output from all of those commands would be useful. Responses of "it
worked" or "it didn't work" are less useful.

I strongly suggest that you use lowercase a-z 0-9 _ only, for both
folder name and file name. This way  it will be compatible with almost
every browser/server you face =]

Not being any sort of programmer/techie, I wouldn't have a clue, but it
might help if you gave us an example of how and where the jvm uses its
own default paper size, and what it does, e.g what size it uses.

Having said that, a quick Google (java printing), seems to suggest that
the job of setting up printer preferences lies with the java program and
not the jvm, and if no printer dialogue is called, then java will use
your default printer with default settings (System > Administration >
Printing, right click on default printer > Properties > Printer
Options). But that's not your experience, is it?

Thanks for the response!

I'm actually having problems with a desktop interface called Eldy, but
in theory, one should be able to reproduce it using any other Java app
capable of printing, such as ThinkFree Office.
http://se.thinkfree.com:8080/standard/index.do

So, for instance, with no Eldy on my own home box, running 10.04-64,
fully current, my default paper size is A4 - but if I bring up a new
blank wordprocessor document in ThinkFree and pick File | Page Setup,
the paper size is Letter.

It picks up the default printer from CUPS fine. (I only have one, but
if there are several, it finds them and selects the default.) It just
doesn't pick up the paper size. So on one colour HP inkjet I've tried,
for some reason, the default is postcard - as it's a photo-capable
printer. :¬/

Apart from the ext4's performance and anti-fragmentation improvements,
fscking an ext4 partition takes so short time, that is actually a
pleasure to run it! :-)

It has an internal 1.2Gb drive and a MicroSD card. Both mounted with
Nautilus as soon as I confirm the connection to my PC on the device.

I can access it and move files to/from it, but Calibre (version 0.6.42) does
not detect it (as listed above)

Thanks!

I see you're using an older version of calibre.  It's already at .7.44 and 
changing fast.   Have a look at the users manual here:
http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/faq.html

In the FAQs section it tells you how to get support for your device.  
According to the FAQ, if you see the device in your Ubuntu, it's an easy 
matter to support it from Calibre but they need some specific info.  All of 
that is spelled out in the User's Manual.

I was referred to that bug (672177) while I was trying to figure out
this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/683355
[Natty os-prober fails to detect Maverick installation]

@ Tapas: From 9.04 run:

$ sudo fsck /dev/<10.04 partition>

and see if that helps.

Whilst that may well be true, I don't think it is sufficient reason to
take down a working system and reformatting.

You don't have to do this to go from ext3 to ext4, but as I said, it's
optional, and there ought to be much more justification to take down a
working system - ever.

I wish I knew how I could have done so as my installation of Maverick, 
and Lucid before it, is a stock standard installation from Canonical - 
however, Maverick was an upgrade using the Update Manager from Lucid 
which was a clean installation.

But I shall now go looking for the app. which uses the gnash plugin and 
try and remember how it could have got onto my system.

Thanks all for bringing up the issue of installing OO or LO under 
linux.  I am surprised that there is a complication of which distro is 
being installed to, as a series of if/thens in a well documented 
script,  with each branching to a separate distro/version would make the 
programming and understanding of the users many times better than what 
we have now.  The gurus of each version could insert their own code.  My 
questions are in relation to where is the code being installed?  Is the 
directory where I place the downloaded file; an installing/working 
directory which will be emptied and deleted upon completion of the 
installation?  Where is the program kept? Should we be using /opt?  I 
don't like crowding my /home/user directory.  If (when) I upgrade to the 
next version, is my OO or LO written over.  These are questions that I 
hope will be answered by an OO Lo install script.

Wow! Glad to get that off my chest.  I'be been sitting on these 
questions since Suse 5.3.

John

Hmmm, thanks for that. I had forgotten about it. As Alan suggested gnash 
may have come from Firefox itself but I don't recall doing such an 
upgrade because the only ones I allow Firefox to put thru are the ones 
for the Theme and the Extensions but not the plugins. However.......

BTW, I upgraded my wife's system about an hour now for the new 
flashplayer.so and her system is fine.

Yes, I have this on a Lenovo too. Try  to unmount instead of ejecting or "safe

mmmn. Not really on-topic here. But maybe I can slide in a one-time
very quick response and HU!

Systems Theory standardized on Acid Pro a long-time ago as the project
multi-track. Which was important since we were making collaborative
music over long-distance. Unfortunately it doesn't run native on *nix.
And Sony has no interest in making that happen at this time. Since I'm
the only *nix obsessive in the project the answer to your question is no.

HU! #1. On a music-related note within the project, Mike Dickson has
just (a week ago today) release his new solo album "Baislica".  As
with all his solo albums it is a *free* d/l from his site.  See the
link in my sig. Go grab it (and his older albums too).

HU! #2. New Systems Theory & ViolinCyndee albums will be coming soon
in 2011 (in mixing and post-production).

If you have other questions about what we do, etc., email me off-list
sdavmor at systemstheory dot net, or leave comments on the project
web-site guest-book.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Ubuntu...

That's a good point.  I think the basic is to have something where the 
user logs in and has options.  (1) Can choose project view.  Default is 
a list of projects (filtered optionally?) Click on a project and you get 
a view of status, linked documents, associated people (anyone in the 
address book) (2) can see their calendar with a list of due tasks. 
(Including roll forwards)  Click on a task takes you to a project. (3) 
user can see their message logs, for example that "so and so" rang up 
and are owed a ring back, a click links to both address book, but also 
the project associated.  (4) If searching the address book and find a 
person, can find the projects linked to that person.

My guess is that a solution that does the above, would do enough of the 
rest to at least be extensible.  Time and billing is a concern, but most 
of the solutions I have looked at have some facility built in.

  I looked at redmine.  It's demo seem to be too one dimensional.  So 
you can have a project, but not link people (except "users")   But I 
realize that demos are problematic.  Given my list, is that something 
redmine could handle?

It could be the same problem.  While I blame the router when the skype 
phone hangs or crashes, it could just as well be the phone itself.  So, 
really, the situations are consistent with each other.

In your case and my case, why would rebooting the computer fix the 
networking in a way that ifconfig isn't?

Is there a way to set up FF to allow bookmarks to appear in more than

a group of the pages by date ( when I did something).

When I attempt to add a second bookmark, the first is deleted. I used to

Thanks for the reply Doug.  I certainly do agree that we should all try 
and do our homework before posting here.  If for no other reason, than 
the selfish ones.  If I don't do my homework, I'll ask a bad question, 
not understand the answer, have no reality check on the answer, never 
learn anything, etc.  [1]  I guess I don't understand the part about 
"service he should expect to pay for".  The nature of this list is that 
the people who answer questions do so without expectation of payment,[2] 
and (for the most part) without discriminating based on why the question 
is asked.  [3] The fact that the project is commercial in nature is not 
something I have seen as an issue.

In the context of the OP's original question, I see your point.  In 
general, not so much.  But I appreciate the point of view.

Regards,

--PE


[1] Of course, respect for the people you are asking is huge, but I was 
listing the "selfish" reasons.
[2] I suspect that the individual reasons why are legion.  From ego 
boosting, to expanding the poster's own knowledge base, to "give and ye 
shall receive", or perhaps just as a hobby or an IT pro who might want 
to find new clients . . ..
[3] The big exception seems to be "School homework".  If the student 
wants to learn, they have to do the work, not just scam an answer.

It appears that it is possible to add a duplicate via the Bookmarks,
Organise Bookmarks dialog.  If you select one in there and Copy it,
then move to another folder and Paste then it adds the duplicate
without removing the original.  This may not be convenient for you

Might be a long shot, but ensure that the wireless is still turned on
when you shut down Win7.

On my HP G60 laptop, it I turn off wireless (via the laptop wireless
button) and then shut down Win7 HE & reboot into Ubuntu (10.10) the
wireless does not start - at least not automatically & I cannot enable
via Network Manager. However, if I reboot back to Win7, turn on
wireless, then shutdown Win7 & reboot back to Ubuntu 10.10 wireless is
fine. Ran across this when my wife (who is the one that uses Win7 for
her work) accidentally pushed the wifi button to off when she intended
to push the power off button (both buttons are side-by-side on the
machine). I've not bothered to dig deeper into the why, but suspect that
someone has filed a bug regarding this on launchpad.

Hi Gary,

I "think" I have done what you asked.

file:///Z:/smb.conf

I hope this is correct.  Otherwise I can e-mail the file to you directly.

You have not mentioned what is the hardware.Dell/Lenovo
Boot to Ubuntu and connect to a Lan wire
then System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
when you are connected to LAN this way it will search if a driver is
not installed and show you if you need to install the driver.Now hit
and trial you select the driver which it shows and see which one works
for you.

I have found that there is WiFi hardware that unfortunately Ubuntu
simply doesn't work with. The parts that I have enjoyed success with
are:-

1) USB WiFi adaptors that I used to be able to buy from a local shop in
Swindon. These are manufactured by somebody called Peak and are housed
in transparent green plastic.

2) A BlueNEXT BN-WD54G WiFi adaptor bought from an ebay seller some
years ago.

3) A Samsung branded internal laptop WiFi card, again sourced from an
ebay seller.


Others I have found you simply have to suck it and see. Even parts that
are labelled on the packaging as being Linux compatible don't
necessarily work with Ubuntu.

Dave

Try booting Ubuntu CD/DVD with the option is "Try Ubuntu without any
change to your computer", and after Ubuntu loads, check if you can see
wireless networks.

If you can, it is a problem with your installation and you may try to
reinstall.

I cant connect to internet even when I run it off the cd. I also downloaded
the drivers by connecting with cable. But still it doesnt show up the
wireless networks available when I click on the concentric bars icon at the
top (Ubuntu 10.01).

How did you get on with the troubleshooting guide?

Subject: make-kpkg and 2.6.38-rc4 vanilla
Message-ID: <ij9704$276$1@dough.gmane.org>

Hi,

I'm trying to build 2.6.38-rc4 vanilla using make-kpkg under Maverick. The 
last time I compiled a kernel was 2.6.36 and I was using Lucid, and I 
suppose it went ok, since I'm still running it in Maverick. 

After extracting the sources and configuring the options, I run

# CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 make-kpkg --initrd binary

this spits out usual debian specific messages:

exec make kpkg_version=12.033 -f /usr/share/kernel-
package/ruleset/minimal.mk debian INITRD=YES 
...
====== making target debian/stamp/dummy-config-common [new prereqs: ]======
====== making target debian/stamp/do-pre-config-common [new prereqs: dummy-
config-common]======

/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules debian/stamp/pre-config-common
make[1]: ingresso nella directory "/home/lucio/linux/linux-2.6.38-rc4"
====== making target debian/stamp/pre-config-common [new prereqs: dummy-
config-common]======
...

but it does not compile anything (typical "CC filename", "LD filename" and 
so on are completely missing). Moreover no error is reported. It simply 
exits after less than a minute and no compilation takes place and no deb 
package is produced.

I've also tried on a fresh maverick install on a different machine and the 
results are just the same. I suspect I'm missing something... 

Can you help me spot the problem?

Thanks in advance
Lucio.

Is it the XPS 16 or XPS 13 model?

What are all the previous commands?

Does it work with "kernel_image modules_image" rather than with "binary"?

It is XPS 13 model. I am still working with the WiFi troubleshooting link.
when I run lsmod command it does show the drivers(firedeth)  listed under
module but under Used By column it shows 0. Does that mean that drivers are
installed but are not communicating with the device?

Regards,
Deepak Gupta.

WTF? Yes, you're absolutely right, using "kernel_image modules_image" works 
perfectly... I had only tried "binary" and "binary_arch"... aren't those 
supposed to work too? (please note I'm running everything as root).

This page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_XPS#Studio_XPS_13_.28M1340.29


mentions that your wireless card is: Dell Wireless 1510
802.11a/b/g/draft/n half-mini card.


This page:
http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/Direct2Dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2008/10/03/linux-driver-available-for-dell-wireless-cards.aspx

mentions: "As a result of this effort, Broadcom released an updated
Linux wireless driver that supports cards based on the Broadcom 4311,
4312, 4321, and 4322 chipsets, which include the Dell 1490, 1395, 1397,
1505, and 1510 Wireless cards".


The link for the latest driver provided in that page is:

I am pretty confident that this driver will work for you, give it a try.

:¬)

It may help, but it's complex and unclear, which is why I wrote those
tutorials...

Summary:

Single boot:
Primary, bootable root partition, 16GB-32GB
1 extended partition - in there:
1 /home partition, all remaining disk space-2GB
1 swap partition, 2GB

Dual-boot - leave Windows in the primary partition, put root, home and
swap all in the extended.

People "usually" suspend their laptop, so that they can continue their work when they open the laptop. OK!


Two choices [GNOME]:  


1 - Menu -&gt; Shut Down -&gt; Suspend
in this case, the gnome-screensaver locks the PC. but the gnome-screensaver is just a "normal process", and it could be killed e.g.:

I'm still actually searching for something I can leave on for extended 
periods, but otherwise, yes, that's what I'd use :)

(Yes, I'm aware that it's contentious to not leave the PC running 24x7.)

I'm also considering the Sony Dash (just a branded version of the chumby), 
but the speakers definitely leave something to be desired, and the apps 
don't compare to Android.

Kinda leaning towards an Archos Android device, but, unless you shell out 
$300+, crummy speakers :(

I don't.

There is also hibernation as an option to "avoid" shutdown.

None of them are significantly more or less secure - they all depend
on login password authentication to resume work.  I'm not sure if the
"two" "different" suspend choices you list are actually different.

Please do not crosspost questions like this to multiple lists - find
the right one and ask there.

It depends on what you want to do.

I usually put /boot, / and /home in separate partitions because I find
it easier to do certain kinds of recovery that way.  Wherever you put
/boot *must* be a primary partition, all the others can be whatever
you like.  Some people prefer a single / partition that also contains
/boot, most people prefer putting /home in a separate partition.

Thanks for your help!
As you are being so kind I feel I can tell the all story.

I have an HP DV8 (windows 7 home) with the following disk configuration
(disks.png)
So I believe I cant simple shrink the C: OS because the maximum nº for
primary partitions are 4, is this right?

Question
Could I do the following: (using aesus in windows)
1 - Shrink C: OS
2 - format the unlocated space creating an extended partition
3 - Create a / partition (whitch kind?)
4 - Create a swap partition (whitch kind?)
5 - Create a /home partition (whitch kind?)

Last week I installed ubuntu 10.10 in work using wubi and I was very
surprised with the results. So surprised that I decided to make a real dual
boot.
So I burned a live CD and let it install itself (along windows XP). He
shrunk the windows partition and installed himself. Things ware looking
good.
On the first boot the grub showed and I chose ubuntu, everything went fine.
Restart.
On the next restart I chose windows and everything went fine. Restart.
On the thirth time i got this: no such disk grub rescue.
So I passed next few hours learning about supergrub disk and somehow I was
able to get back to windows (very relived because this was at work)
This appended two times.

Question:
Is this a result of letting Ubuntu manage the partition in witch he
installed it self?

What I nedd is a tutorial (for newbies) about how to partition my disk and
other to let me fix the grub.

I know...noob  windows user... but im willing to learn.
Thanks

You mean if /boot is a separate partition? Because I boot from logical 
partitions that contain /boot.

Are you suggesting that if the screensaver were killed then one would
not have to enter password before continuing?  I doubt if that is
true.  It would be easy enough to check by connecting via ssh and
killing the screensaver.

I've been googling for awhile and snooping around in config, but I'm
stumped.

How do I have gdm/X/desktop whatever start on vt12 instead of vt7?

I need more vt's and I find it more pleasant to scoot the desktop over to 12
so that I can have gettys on 1-10 and a secure top on 11.

I'm not sure what you mean by "secure top" but have you tried creating
tty7 through tty10/tty11 in "/etc/init"?

AFAIK, GDM'll use the next available vt.

I've never used "binary*" so I don't know why they don't work or
whether they ought to work in your setup.

IIUC, you have to run as root when you choose "binary" as a target.
With other targets, you'll find that many'll suggest/insist that you
not run as root but use "make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot ..." or
"fakeroot make-kpkg ...".

You don't need both "make oldconfig" and "make menuconfig". You can
use "yes "" | make oldconfig" so as not to have to "(enter, enter,
enter...)".

Joe, do this (from the terminal):

$ gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Now, Edit|Select All|Edit Copy

and open a web browser to this location:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
Enter a name in the 'Poster' box.
Now and paste all of that into the 'Content' box. Click the 'Paste!'
button. The page will change to something like:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/566836/
[that was my paste just for example purposes]
Post back here with the URL of the one that you pasted.

Using pastebin allows us to enter long lines of config files etc.,
without pasting them to the list directly. That way list subscribers
don't have to wade through huge posts of config files etc. & anyone
helping you can simply view the files at the pastbin.ubuntu.com link.

@ NoOp

Sorry to interfere in this thread, Samba always puzzles me, but (just
in case his winbind isn't properly configured - as mine) wouldn't it
be helpful  (providing that he can use static or permanently
designated IPs) to configure hosts in both Ubuntu (/etc/hosts) and
Windows (perhaps C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)?

I am looking for an alternative to Gmail.  I find it surprisingly difficult
and temperamental (for example, I can't just sort the inbox messages by
sender).  And Google seems to be getting way "too big for its britches".
The "last straw" was that they are apparently trying to force users of Gmail
to have a cell phone and to use that just to use Gmail (2-factor
authentication).

That is unacceptable (and also some other words not fit for polite
company).  No, I will NOT use an email service that requires a cell phone to
send/receive email, and I sure wouldn't give a phone number to Google.

So, any suggestions for alternative email services?

try
http://www.gmx.com
Gives you 5GB instead of Google's 7GB, but allows 50MB attachments and 
is 100% IMAP compatible from my experience. As for the web interface, 
your mileage may vary, as I don't use it myself, but I hear it's nice 
enough. You can also have up to 10 email addresses on a number of gmx 
domains attached to a single account if you ever wanted to use different 
addresses for personal/business/whatever, and message filtering is also 
available from the web interface or from your client.

This is optional as an added security measure for you, not them.

I'm rather fond of gmail, but I would avoid Yahoo email like the
plague (which they are - WAY worse than gmail).

Previously someone said that the mobile phone thing in GMail is
optional.

Additionally GMail provides the ability to retrieve your emails in an
email application via POP3 and IMAP.

If you do not like any of these, another popular web email service is
hotmail.

Actually, it seems more like a troll to me, the original post.

Google doesn't force you to have a phone. They allow that as an
ADDITIONAL SECURITY FEATURE.

You can always use Google Mail with normal old-fashion login/password,
which somebody can see you type over your shoulder, and that works fine.
But if you want the extra secure version, rather than them FORCING YOU
to buy an RSA Security token, they ALLOW you to use any Android phone
(you know, the phone OS that is sold more than iOS these days) to set up
2-factor authentication.

And you don't HAVE to give them your cell phone number. It is only used
(should you want that as an option) for password recovery.

Please (OP) document yourself before posting something...

Gilles.

When you connected the cable how many options of installing drivers

What exactly were the commands and which driver did you tried installing.
Have you ever tried installing a wifi by this way previously.
You need to have kernel sources also in path (if I am not mistaken)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
and then download the driver of yours in /usr/src
and then compile from there.
Did you tried like this or some thing else?

Message-ID: <880292.45593.qm@web29004.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I need a tool to convert videos I download from youtube, like flv clips, to be playable on my mobile phone.
My mobile is Samsung Player One. I have a very nice utility that does that in windows, But I am most of the time using Ubuntu 10.04.
Please do not tell me "youtube-dl" it does not work.
I have been searching the web for a month now, and all tools they suggest, they install good, but at conversion time they give you an error message.

Thanks,
ali

I download youtube videos all the time and I have no trouble with
youtube-dl.sh, but you have to have the latest version because they
move the servers around from time to time.

What format are you looking to convert into?  Mencoder and ffmpeg are
good for that sort of thing.

On Firefox, I use : http://www.downloadhelper.net/ to download the file.
In many cases, you can download the flv but also the mp4 which should
play on your phone easily.

For conversion, mkvtoolnix-gui ... works nicely...

I use WinFF to convert flash video to avi.  I assume your phone can play avi?

You might want to look into offlineimap [1] to get the best of both
worlds: you can access your mail via webmail or IMAP from wherever,
whilst also keeping a synchronised copy in Maildir format locally for
backup and working offline.

It's a great application [ for windows... :\ ]


Are there any programs under Ubuntu, that has the ~same features?


To be specific: The user could launch a program [e.g.: Google Chrome] inside this sandbox, and when he/she exits Google Chrome, all the changes that Google Chrome did is "undoed". + Google Chrome is in a sandbox, so it can't "see"/read the files of the user!


Thanks for any tips, link, opinions!

Recovery of a downed PC these days means booting a full distro from
CD. There's no need for /boot, /sbin and all that kind of thing any
more, really, and I for one would like to see Ubuntu's simplification
and modernisation efforts do away with them.

>  Wherever you put
> /boot *must* be a primary partition,

Not true. Never has been, in fact; even 17-odd years ago, when I
started using Slackware, LILO could boot from a logical drive in an
extended partition.

Please do not distribute information without fact-checking it first.

> all the others can be whatever
> you like.

*All* partitions can be primary /or/ logical; Linux does not care.

Microsoft's DOS- and NT- family OSs must boot from a primary
partition. Linux and OS/2 don't care. The BSDs, Solaris and various
others can't be installed in logical partitions at all.

> Some people prefer a single / partition that also contains
> /boot, most people prefer putting /home in a separate partition.

In the mid-1990s, many PC BIOSes could only boot from the first 1024
cylinders of a disk (~512MB), or a little later, from inside the first
8GB. Thus, if you had (say) a 10GB or 20GB root partition, and after
an update the new kernel ended up toward the end of it, bang, your PC
would suddenly stop booting and there was no easy way to repair this.

So, the recommendation was to put a small (<32MB) /boot partition
early on the drive, inside the first 8GB, and keep the rest of the
system in a root filesystem elsewhere.

However, this is no longer necessary. Few PCs that old are still
around and anything that natively supports SATA is definitely no
problem.

That is correct, yes.

If you already have 4 partitions, you cannot create any more. You will
have to merge the contents of 2 of them and remove one, then you can
create an extended partition in which you can have many more.

Yes, that sounds right.

As for what kind - well, there's only 1 kind of swap. That is not a concern.

As for / and /home - well, I use ext3 as it's pretty tried and tested.
However, most modern distros favour ext4 which is newer and both
faster and more efficient on large volumes of hundreds to thousands of
gig in size.

Oh dear. That's worrying. It sounds a little like some kind of Windows
"autorepair" is happening, perhaps, and damaging things.

No, that should be OK. But personally, I prefer to set the partitions
up manually, so that I know exactly what goes where.

Ububtu 10.x uses GRUB2 (well, actually, a late beta version, number
1.97-1.98) and this is both very complex, quite hard to customise and
largely devoid of good clear helpful instructions. I really do not
like GRUB2 myself.

I installed WinFF. WHen I try to convert video I get:
Unknown encoder 'libxvid'
Press Enter to Continue

After that I went to http://handbrake.fr. I could not install it, I got error message about connecting to host...


Is there any one-click tool? This is for fun only....

The original post said from youtube download to something playable on
a "Samsung Player One" which google suggests is a Samsung S5230.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_S5230#Video

"Video

Help us here; where have you already looked and what programs have you
already considered?  Are there specific things you want out of a
similar program?  Why won't running whatever program you want in a VB
do?

Umm, no, boot must not be on a primary partition at all.. Makes no 
difference.

Skipping everything else in this thread and diving right to the actual question.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/25880/is-ubuntu-vulnerable-to-recent-exploits-using-usb-sticks-and-automount

Q: "How vulnerable am I to this attack and what steps are developers
doing to be proactive against this sort of thing?"

A: "You're not vulnerable to the specific attack, but the approach is
very interesting. The vulnerabilities used are already fixed"

I download from youtube, usually files are flv or MP4.

My phone can play MP4 (MPEG-4) with: 320*240 resolution, 29 fps ( On windows I have a tool where I choose the option MP4 (PSP)) works fine.Audio MPEG-4 AAC with 24kHZ two channel.

To convert flv files from Youtube you can use this simple command:

ffmpeg -i input_file.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output_file.avi

I think you should look at Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, or if
you are an advanced user at Administration->Synaptic Package Manager, at
first.


In general, it is better to look there.


For example in Ubuntu 10.10, you may go to Applications->Ubuntu Software
Center, click on "Sound and Video" and then type transcoder on the right
to filter the results.

If you do not find any application you like, try typing encoder.

This is typical for HP laptops now: 4 primary partitions, the last of
which is a very small one labeled "HP TOOLS."  I suppose one of the
motivations for doing this is to make it harder for people to install
other operating systems.

We bought one of these last month and simply saved the contents of HP
TOOLS to an external drive.  Brave hardware oriented wife then booted
with either parted magic or systemrescue cd (can't remember; they're
both wonderful), used gparted to shrink the windows 7 partition, moved
the rest down and created an extended partition.  The first logical
partition in the extended was labeled HP TOOLS and got the saved
contents.  Apparently, the repair system finds it by disk label and
doesn't care if it is actually on partition 4 or partition 5 (the first
logical partition).  

We installed Mint 9 (an Ubuntu 10.04 respin) on on the rest of the
logical partition space with the simple /, swap, /home layout.  As
others have written, linux doesn't care where it boots from and no
longer needs /boot to be at the beginning of the disk.  Since this is an
LTS version we're pretty much done for the commercial life of the
laptop. 

We were strongly tempted to just wipe nasty Win7 off entirely, but what
the heck, we paid the Microsoft tax so we might as well have it.  It is
really annoying to use with all of HP's nanny stuff constantly reminding
you that your machine is in terrible danger.  Our taxes are very
complicated so I need a full-blown bare metal installation of tax
software; I'm working with it on this HP laptop now.  After I get my DCN
I doubt I'll boot Win7 again until next tax time.

Jorge, courage! it can be done.

I am not sure what people think about that, but it's OK with me anyway. I  
guess questions could be asked about those parts of Mint that are the same  
as those in Ubuntu… Doesn't the Mint people have their own mailing lists?  
Maybe they don't, I don't know.

Not so far as I know, sadly - only web fora.

Absolutely! And welcome!

Well, I ask 'em myself sometimes. If you're pretty sure the issue is
not anything to do with Mint's customisations, then you can also
validly just say that it's Ubuntu 10.04.

Why is this the "last straw"?  I think two-factor authentication is
great, in fact it's a feature I had hoped Google would implement for a
long time.

The only thing I wish Google would do is start charging me money to
use Gmail.  I would gladly pay for an advertising-free Gmail (and
google apps) with support.

Mint's customizations are not all that extensive.  They provide some
nice tools to help inexperienced users upgrade and their software
manager has been widely copied (and now by Ubuntu itself).  It uses a
form of the slab menu which started out in SuSE.  Aside from that, Mint
is pretty much Ubuntu with green decorations.  If you configure a
printer and print a test page it says "Ubuntu."

We use it here because we standardized on it as the easiest flavor to
push out to employees, friends and relatives ("illegal codecs" and other
DMA violatons are pre-installed, so no "why can't I?" late-night phone
calls) and we might as well all be using the same thing.  We gathered in
users from SuSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora and of course Windows.  All of
them seem to be reasonably happy and productive. Most are one step
behind now on Mint 9, based on Ubuntu 10.04 and we'll likely keep them
there since DW says "retired now."  Mint 10 is based on 10.10 and works
very well for me.

There is an experimental Mint version based directly on Debian, but I
really don't see any advantage to it.

Lots of Mint users read this list; most of what goes on here applies
equally well to Mint.

What you will generally find around here, is that you will do better if
you show that you tried to help yourself before asking the list for
help.

So, if you say for instance, "I tried solution A which didn't work,
Google searches gave me solution B but it's only for scripting and I'm
using C++, can somebody here please help me with a C++ solution?" then
you will tend to earn respect and receive assistance because you put in
some effort before asking.

Subject: Glipper interferes with copying from Adobe Reader
Message-ID: <4D59BC6D.60903@comcast.net>

I just noticed that if I have Glipper active that I can only do one 
copy/paste operation from Adobe Reader. If I try to copy a second piece 
of text it never shows up in the clipboard. The only way to copy/paste 
another piece of selected text is to close and restart Adobe Reader.

If I remove Glipper from the panel I can copy/paste multiple selections 
from Adobe Reader.

Anyone else seeing this?

Google didn't seem to have any answers.

Subject: automatically mount network drive - 10.04 LTS
Message-ID: <434528.11040.qm@web111707.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I am back to the drawing board. Below is what I need to accomplish. I have been 
looking around, trying different solutions, experimenting but so far I am not 
satisfied with the result I got.

We are migrating people, in my university, to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. On the "desktop" 
side (approx 500 users) LTSP will be used. It works. So far so good.
By default everything is saved under their "Documents" folder.

My problem is about the laptop users. They will have 10.04 LTS installed on 
their machine.  When they use their laptop their work is saved by default in 
their "Documents" folder. So far everything is good.
I would like to synchronize their laptop "Documents" folder to their network 
drive "Documents" folder. I can use rsync for that once their network drive is 
"mounted". I could use something similar to that in their .bashrc or write a 
little script

if [ ! -f ~/homework/.lock ]; then
        /usr/bin/smbmount //ldap/username ./homework -o noperm
fi

That would be fine but one thing is they should not have to open a bash, type 
anything or double click something. The reason is that they will never 
synchronize their folder if they have to do something. I know, I know, they are 
academics :)
Then we would be held responsible for any loss or whatever went wrong.

If I put in fstab the mount instruction and they are not connected to the 
network, it will "freeze" until it times out. Can be a pain and a source of 
complaints. XP was better :(

Basically what I am looking for as a solution is this:

a) When the machine gets an ip from the network at work, their network drive 
should be automatically mounted. A mount point will be created on their default 
install.

b) When the laptop gets an ip that is not from work, the "mount instruction" 
should immediately be ignored.

c) If the machine is already up and running, but was not connected to the 
network, and they connect it to the network, the drive should be mounted 
automatically. At this point I would be able to sync both directories (local and 
network "Documents"). I will use a cron job for that. Maybe not the best 
solution but I have limited knowledge, so I use what I know.

I am thinking there might be a possibility to accomplish what I described above 
with pam_auth. If there are authenticated to the network, the drive is mounted, 
if not it is not mounted. I am not sure though if it can be done that way. I 
still have some reading to do, but before I continue, I would like to know if 


1) it's make sense to do it the way I described it

2) if there is a better solution

3) what people do in that situation.

Maybe I am totally missing something here.

Your input and idea would be more than welcome. I am ready to experiment more.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Regards,

Arnaud

I set up all of my direct systems (including wifi laptops etc) with
fixed IP's. Doing so eliminates quite alot of confusion/errors etc.,
when connecting to the system and/or printing to the desktop USB
connected printer via wifi or remotely. However, I also allocate dhcp
ip's for guests & some test systems (desktop and laptop).

@joe: if you still can't figure out how to post the smb.conf file to
pastbin.ubuntu.com feel free to contact me directly & I'll be more than
happy to assist. Only thing that I ask is once we get the issue sorted
out off-list, is that you post back in the same thread (here) with
details of the fix/no-fix. That way others with the same/similar problem
can use the thread to possibly resolve their issue(s) as well.

Maybe there are better ways, but in the past I used to install scripts 
in the /etc/network directory? This directory has 4 sub-directories, 
if-down.d,  if-post-down.d,  if-pre-up.d, and  if-up.d in which you can 
install scripts to be executed when the network connection is brought up 
and/or down.  Also, if you use the network manager then there is the 
directory /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d in which I used in the past 
to run a script that detected network interface changes and acted upon. 
That may help you automate the process.

[11.04]-Turn Off Unity & Use Classic Gnome?

Hi,

Been using Ubuntu for about 2 years now.
I'm very concerned about this switch to Unity desktop.

How hard would it be to turn off Unity and use classic Gnome?
Perhaps this could be an option during install of Ubuntu?

I think forcing Unity onto people is a bad idea...

According to the Unity website, you can choose between Unity and the
Ubuntu "Classic" desktop.

Since they insist on Unity, the best approach would be to ask which
Shell we want to be installed, during installation.

Otherwise I guess we will see some distribution named Gubuntu, GNOME
Shell Ubuntu, or something like this.


The good news is that we have Ubuntu 10.10 until they make up their
minds to go to the GNOME Shell way, in Ubuntu 11.10.

Have you installed 11.04 and tried?

I installed it in a VM a while ago and since it was a VM it defaulted
to "regular" GNOME, which was an option on the taskbar of the GNOME
login.

Unity drives me nuts as well - worst desktop that I've *ever* used.

When you log in, select the username. At the bottom of the screen you
can select which desktop you'd prefer to use. On my HP G60 laptop I
found that using 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop' crashes and causes multiple
issues (I've not bothered to file bug reports yet as I only boot into it
every few days). The only way that I can get a reliable gnome desktop is
to use 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop (No Effect)'. That, for me is reasonably
stable.

I have tested GNOME 3 (with the GNOME Shell) as it currently is, and I
think it is great.

Here's the link for the Live CD. The Shell is 3D-accelerated, so I do
not think it can run in VMware right now.


Just boot the Live CD and have a look:

Perhaps it's due to this....
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/711409

Crashes too on kubuntu, unless graphics driver turned off.
But I'm only testing on iso boots, have not installed to a partition.

Quite possibly the crashes are caused by the experimental support for 
wayland, I don't know if the normal effects in Ubuntu even support it yet.

Subject: Beagle stopped working after update
Message-ID: <42721685.20110214200346@sonic.net>

Now running 10.04.2. Did a recent update, and that seems to have
caused a couple of problems.

(1) Beagle stopped working after the update. The Beagle GUI works, but
produces no hits for a word that should return at least several hits.
Same for beagle-query CLI - no hits, and no errors. Running all the
Beagle tools produces reasonable results. Looking in .beagle shows a
reasonable index - right size, date, etc. - has about 12,000 docs.
Everything seems to be "working" - BUT it produces no hits.

Anybody else have this problem? [Especially after a recent update.]

How can I tell what Beagle dependencies might have been updated in the
last update? This might give a clue of the cause, and perhaps a fix?

Note - update also included changing the kernel to use 4 Gigs of
memory recently installed. Now sees all 4 Gigs.
  
[[and (problem 2) - sometimes needs a reboot to get the network
working - also happened after the update. This was mentioned in a
previous email, and is not part of this thread.]]

Good searching is very important to me - any help much appreciated...

Probably not as the G60 has no nvidia:
====

But thanks anyway :-) I'll search around launchpad and see if I can find
an intel related isse as well.

According to my opinion, ==> which may be wrong <==, do not use anything
that has to do with Mono, C#, or any other MS technology. They tend to
be a mess.


If the default "Search For Files" engine in GNOME does not meet your
requirements, you may try installing GNOME Meta Tracker:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_%28desktop_search_software%29

http://projects.gnome.org/tracker


in Ubuntu Software Center/Synaptic.



Other Desktop Search Engines mentioned in Wikipedia are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrier_Search_Engine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigi



Personally I am going to have a look at GNOME Meta Tracker (tracker-gui
package).

I didnt get to the install driver step. I cant even make the driver. This
error occurred when I typed the make command after unzipping the driver
package contents. Also when I run lshw -C network It doesnt list the
wireless card. I am thinking it is not even recognizing the wireless card.

I think it would help if you can provide specifics as to the router type
& firmware version in the router.

Is that what Beagle uses? Why is that a mess? If that is what Beagle
uses, it has worked quite well **until the update**. What did the
update do?

That's how I installed tracker.

No way I'm going to trust Google rummaging around in EVERY file on my

IV> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigi

Haven't used those but have used others. DTsearch [on Win] is my
current favorite, Beagle is/was second, recoll is third.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I wish it worked... :-)

I installed [10.04.2] with synaptic, but it does NOT work. Runs but
gives NO search results. What might I be doing different from what you
did to get it to work?

I'm back to using DTsearch on a Win box to index all my linux stuff.
The idea was to get away from win, and now it looks like I'll have to
go back...

Beagle was working well - I'd like to get it working again, if
possible.

This might be useful
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637258
It describes a script that monitors access to a server and when it
becomes available it mounts the specified folders.  I think one could
easily add your sync requirements into that.

Alternatively can Dropbox or Ubuntu One be used to sync multiple users
onto one server?  I do not know but I feel it should be possible.
Then they would not even need to connect to the server to sync.

Hi ppl!
it`s done! At least for now the system is running on my desktop at work with
a dual boot.
All I did was formating and partitioning the disk as told and removed some
hp software from windows like hp updater and others.

What would be your advise now to carry on with my learnings about ubuntu?

thanks again!

Hang around here and any questions you understand then make sure you
understand the answers.

Questions that you don't understand but look as if they are on a
subject that may at some point interest you then research until you
understand the question.

Also see http://ubuntu-manual.org/ which is aimed at those getting
started with Ubuntu.

I'm starting to think that I should skip 11.04
and use 10.10 until 11.10 is released.

I have no interest in using Unity.

Try an nfsv3 mount to troubleshoot because I suspect that your domains
are in sync. If the nfsv3 mount works as expected, make sure that the
value of "Domain" in "/etc/idmapd.conf" is the same on both boxes.

Just curious. What makes you think that 11.10 won't have Unity?

If a Gubuntu declination isn't published (not officially, like
Lubuntu), you'll be able to use the regular ("Classic") GNOME or
install and use gnome-shell.

As has been pointed out several times there is no requirement to use
Unity on 11.10.  Simply select the classic Ubuntu interface from the
logon screen.

Not tried it myself. I quite liked the Netbook Remix interfaces in
9.10 and 10.04, although the latter had serious display problems on my
Thinkpad X31. The 10.10 NBR will not launch at all - a process called
"mutter" continuously crashes and restarts the whole WM. It's not even
possible to cleanly log out.

I've filed it as a bug; no interest at all.

On the same machine, kernel mode switching breaks suspend and resume
and the Plymouth graphical loading-progress program displays corrupted
graphics. I've managed to fix all these myself but again, no interest
in my filed bugs.

Thus, I have grave concerns that a Unity-based Ubuntu will be at all
usable on anything less than very recent hardware with a fairly
capable, well-supported OpenGL accelerator.

I suspect these may be the same sorts of issues.

You do realise that you can only upgrade from one release to the next?
Excepting LTS releases.

You can't go 10.10 -> 11.10, you need to go 10.10->11.04->11.10.

You could stick with 10.04 (as I am doing for now) and then go to
12.04, which should be the next LTS release.

Not true. You _can_ skip releases. I've done it a few times. I'm not
recommending that people should, or that it's wise, just that you
_can_.

In addition you can take a full system backup (clonezilla) and do an
upgrade, test it, if it fails, restore. Upgrades aren't a one-way
street.

Cheers,
Al.

Gubuntu is something else, or rather, several distros of that name
have been announced over the years, including a Free-software-only one
akin to GnuSense.

"Ubuntu Gnome 3 Remix" is the officially-sanctioned style, I believe.

But between  Unity instead of GNOME 3 and Wayland instead of X.org,
yes, I can see a "more mainstream" Ubuntu remix coming about in a year
or two, certainly, one with plain ol' x.org and plain GNOME3.

But on the other hand, I heartily approve of Ubuntu's efforts to
follow the "KISS principle". I kinda wish they'd get a bit more
radical, as Apple have with OS X - they have pensioned off large
chunks of the config files in /etc and so on and move things into
network-distributable databases, for instance. That's not what I'd do,
but it's an interesting approach.

One idea, for instance, is that the old distinction between the
various /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin and so on folders are now
historical. Rescuing a system now means booting from optical disk or
USB stick, not bringing it up in single-user mode and then root going
poking around. I mean, they've already banished the root user
altogether. Time to banish its special directories, too.

Merging them all might make life a lot simpler.

The ultimate distro in this direction is GoboLinux, which completely
banishes the Unix directory hierarchy and replaces it with simple
directory trees, one program per directory, and a load of symlinks to
make things look like the traditional structure so your code still
compiles.

It's arguably a bit /too/ radical, but certainly, Ubuntu could so
something very similar.

Oh really? With the update manager? I thought that was expressly
forbidden. Or are you talking about leaping in with editing
sources.list and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade? I've comprehensively
broken a Debian 5 box with that approach in recent months and would be
loath to try again, frankly.

  What can I say - Natty for me has proven to be a major disappointment. Unfortunately
I am running a MB with older video - 865 to be exact. The ONLY desktop I can get
under an updated Natty Alpha-2 is classic with no effects. Even them I get crash
notifications every few seconds...mostly related to the video-intel driver. I have stopped
reporting them because I was told developers have no intention of fixing them and that I
should deal with upstream. If nobody will fix, why bother including them - check the bug reports
on Video Intel and you'll see it's not only the 865 which is affected. Newer systems are also
experiencing problems.
I guess Maverick was the end of the line for me - I fear Ubuntu is going in the wrong direction...at least
for me it is. I also run on the same computer,Maverick (for me again a fine system) and Debian Sid. People
used to complain about Sid a lot...but at its' most unstable, it is proving more stable than Natty.

But I guess when major changes are made to systems, like is being done in Nattys case, we can expect
these problems and complaints.

The 1st thing to know is the computer use:
- how many programs will be installed
- how may data will be on your computer

The system partition is done by default during installing.
You have only to decide for primary and extended partition.
The extended partition is an optional for data, but is not
very important to set for the installation.
Remember that you may add some hard disk on a computer.
A modern motherboard supports 6 SATA units and 2 IDE units (hard disks
or DVD).
If you have not enogh space, you may add another hard disk.
This addition hard disk works as an extended partition.
The benefit of ad extended partition is to have 2 logical units
on 1 physic unit. This is less expansive in money. But about
data loss is better to have 2 hard disks, on for system and
one for data. In case of fault you may recover better than
having only 1 hard disk.
Please tell me if this explanation is enough for you.

The phone number is an optional, I have gmail but I have
not given my phone number.
About the message managing you may tray to use a program:
messenger, outlook, thunderbird
with a configuration type POP3 that download you message
on your computer so you may have additional filters, rules,
sorting.
There is also a software from GMAIL to download all your
messages.

Yup. Whilst it's not recommended, it's certainly _a_  supported way to
upgrade releases.

Well, indeed, but some people still need it spelling out.

There's also an experimental option for do-release-upgrade which is
supposed to let you upgrade using an overlay filesystem. In the event
it all goes horribly wrong you roll it back. Never tried it, but would
like to.

Al.

If you want to use WINDOWS programs on Ubuntu you may
download a Virtual Box than install windows
you may use windows xp
so you may start windows a separate program
called VIRTUAL MACHINE.

Does a magnification glass appear at the top right?

Let it index files. After it finishes, if you go to Accessories->Tracker
Search Tool, ==> you have to type something you want to search and press
Enter.

Did you do these?


Apart from this, however, I have the feeling that your system got broken
with the upgrade process.

I suggest you back up your documents and other files, and perform a
clean install.

If you do not need to stick to 10.04 until 2013, I strongly suggest you
install 10.10 which is the best version ever released according to my
opinion, and which will have updates until April 2012.

Ubuntu 10.10 is really very stable and very great.


Whichever version you clean install, I suggest you try GNOME Meta
Tracker first, before Beagle.

I used to be of that opinion, until I ran OpenSim under Mono. The
resultant code runs faster than that of Java based OpenWonderland, both
are 3D environments server/client applications. I'll admit, I was much
chagrined to type "mono opensim.exe" and have it neatly start up the
server end. But, I imagine the developers had the most to do with
insuring it ran cleanly. All I can say is that under a very graphic
intensive 3D environment, with VoIP services, and everything else but
the kitchen sink tossed in, it really really worked without one hitch
under Mono. 

Politics aside, it gets the job done without loading Windows to do it.
Poorly written C++ code will run poorly as well. Ric

Beagle is pretty much dead:

 Beagle Status

Beagle is no longer in active development. It is getting some occasional
maintenance done by Novell.
</quote>

I recommend trying recoll instead:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/recoll
http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/
as you will see, recoll is activly worked on:
<quote>
News:

    * 2011-02-13 : Recoll 1.15.2 is out. This brings important GUI
improvements, with a new switchable table-based result list, and direct
access to sort functions. See the Release notes.
</quote>

Only one reported open bug on launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/recoll
and that is pretty recent + provides a workaround (I suspect the real
issue is xapian misbehaving as usual).

recoll-backports has builds for 1.15 if you'd like to experiment:

Tracker was moved out of default in lucid:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=tracker
and into universe primarily due to the many complaints & bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker

I purged tracker some time ago & switched to recoll. That said, I've not
tried tracker in quite awhile, so perhaps it has improved since the
lucid 0.6.95-1ubuntu6 version.

I did not understand the basis of Beagle - I just used it. :-) During
uninstall/reinstall I saw that it was an exe that was running. A bit
of checking about Mono, and I can understand your view. Lots of layers
that can get fouled up during updates. I am actually surprised it
worked as well as it did for so long.

But, if I could find a way to get it running again, that would be
verrrry good. I would hate to have to return to Win to do a lot of my
work.

That is possible. I am also getting 'no network' which requires a

I have LOTS of S/W installed and lots of configuration. I would hate
to do a clean install. I went to the LTS to avoid having to change the
OS. I'd like my comp to 'just run' as long as possible.

Besides, the 'just clean install' is like the Windows approach to
solving problems - wipe everything and start over. I went to linux to
try to get away from that.

I tried recoll back a bit, and even worked with the developer to add a
few advanced search capabilities. At that time it was not as useful to
me as Beagle, so I switched to Beagle. But, if Beagle can't be
resurrected, it will probably be my next choice. I have currently gone
back to DTsearch, an excellent search tool that runs on Win. The
version I have can index most of my linux box via the local net, but
permissions get in the way of some stuff.

Big question, though - does Beagle work on your comp? I'm trying to
see if it's just me, or it has failed with all updated 10.04 installs.

Thanks very much for the info.

That is the version that is offered in synaptic for 10.04, and the one

Subject: Ubuntu Wiki to be re-licensed to CC BY-SA
Message-ID: <AANLkTin4ukRQ=mzeudCx0_CYWv9w7h2GoFZKYXHzbabx@mail.gmail.com>

The license of content of the Ubuntu Wiki has always been publically
listed as copyright Canonical Ltd. Working with the Ubuntu Community
Council, Canonical has decided to transition the content in the Ubuntu
Wiki to the the CC-BY-SA license[1]. This license is a free culture
license[2] and is the same license used both by the Ubuntu
Documentation wiki [3] since 2007 [4] and by Wikipedia.

If you are happy with the idea of this transition for the content you
have provided, you do not need to do anything. If you have problems or
issues, please read the feedback section below and contact us.

The rest of this message provides a rationale, details, and
information on providing feedback.

= Decision =

After discussion among the Ubuntu Community Council, it has been
decided that the material on the Ubuntu wiki should be licensed under
a free license, CC-by-SA[1]. The Ubuntu wiki will be changed to make
this clear to those creating or editing pages, and of course external
links from the Wiki to material under other licences will continue to
be welcome.

This decision is not intended in any way to underestimate the value of
contributions, but rather to ensure that the material on the wiki
complies with the same standards of openness as the Ubuntu project as
a whole.

= Rationale =

The Ubuntu wiki is a collaborative resource, and the product of the
Ubuntu community as a whole. Its content, put together by many
contributors with different knowledge and points of view, is immensely
valuable to us all. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no clear
definition of what rights contributors to the content retain over the
material that they post, or the extent to which other persons are
entitled to copy or modify the material. For example, it would be very
useful to ensure that community contributed content may be shared by
many teams without complex licensing issues, ensuring that those
working on content can concentrate on producing the best information
possible rather than legal negotiations.

Furthermore, consistent with Ubuntu's philosophy, it is important that
material created for use on the Ubuntu wiki be available for other
communities outside ours to benefit from. Using an open license on the
Ubuntu wiki allows other communities to re-use material which may be
useful to them under terms which are widely recognised in the free
software community.

= Feedback =

We would again like to make a good-faith attempt to ensure that
contributors of existing material are happy with this change. We
invite any contributors who have any questions or concerns about this
plan to contact us at <community-council at lists.ubuntu.com>. Given that
the re-licensing of http://help.ubuntu.com/community was fairly
uncontroversial and since the aim to re-license the Ubuntu wiki at
some point later has not brought up any objections, we hope that
contributors will welcome it.

In the absence of a substantial number of objections, this change will
be made to the Ubuntu wiki after approximately one month.

You installed 0.6.95, not 0.8.17 that is available in Ubuntu 10.10. 


Anyway, if you clean-install Ubuntu 10.10, give it a try first.

Whether the above name is sanctioned or not and whether it's been
mooted as the name for something else, an Ubuntu version with
gnome-shell's as the default's been referred to by many as Gubuntu.

While Unity's an Ubuntu-only project, Fedora's X devs are planning to
move to Wayland too so classic, plain X'll eventually be history for
many distros.

Moving files from "/etc/" to "/Library" and "/System/Library" (and
possibly to "/Users/~user/Library") isn't necessarily progress! The
uppercase letters are already moronic.

Furthermore, OS X's config files are in PitA, crappy xml. GNOME (I
don't know about other DEs) unfortunately also uses xml so Linux has
already been infected (along with uppercase directories like
"/etc/NetworkManager"). I hope that Linux'll never have any xml config
file for an X-less box that's only accessed via ssh.

You're misrepresenting what Ubuntu's done. Ubuntu's disabled root
(just like OS X did) not banished it. There are many files owned by
root on a default install and you're logged in as root when you use
"sudo -i", sudo -s", or in single-user mode (with "/root" as a home
directory with many dot files). So neither root nor its use have been
banished - on Ubuntu and on OS X.

Booting into single-user mode might not be your first choice, but I'm
sure that it is for many, whether they are long-term Unix/Linux users
or WIndows/OS X switchers (safe mode). Single-user mode isn't just
about having only "/" mounted on a box with separate, unmounted
partitions for "/usr", "/var", ... but also about booting into a
(possibly read-only) system with as few daemons running as possible
and only one user logged in (root).

Whilst I'm not necessarily opposed to merging all the "*/bin"
directories into "/bin" and all the "*/sbin" directories into "/sbin",
it's not something that I lose sleep about nor, I suspect, something
that the Ubuntu developers would want to do without Debian doing the
same (good luck with that happening!) because they'd have to repackage
every deb. I'm not sure that I'd want the "*/bin" and the "*/sbin"
directories merged though.

If I understood correctly, you upgraded from a previous Ubuntu version
to 10.04?

If this is waht happened, you have two options:

Backup your documents and stuff and:

1. Clean install Ubuntu 10.04

2. Clean install Ubuntu 10.10 (I consider this version very stable, and
very great - better than 10.04).


If Beagle is included in the repositories, it means it will work in both
cases.

Yes, by editing sources.list, running "apt-get upgrade", "apt-get
dist-upgrade", and a few other steps before and in between. The Debian
5 to 6 upgrade is the Ubuntu equivalent of skipping 3-4 Ubuntu
releases!

It's not forbidden (how could it be?!) but a good anti-dote to someone
just "editing sources.list and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade" and
killing his box - if that's what you did.

There are a few people posting on debian-users with upgrade problems
but there'd have to be many more posting if failure is a
general/common scenario.

Furthermore, Debian 6 was released about ten days ago so your failure
in "recent months" might have been due to upgrading to a beta issue
that's been ironed out since.

I'm not saying it's in any way official, merely that AFAIK that is
what Ubuntu Ltd want people to call remix editions, and that calling
them ?buntu is now discouraged and will receive notification of a
trademark infringement. The long-standing UbuntuLite project received
just that, for instance, after 3 or 4y in existence and development.

Got any references to this Gubuntu name? I've not seen it anywhere, on
any mailing list, blog or anything. A quick Google before my last post
threw up a gaming 'buntu and a few other stillborn efforts and nothing
to do with GNOME3.

Well, OK, point, but there is quite a bit more to Linux than
Ubuntu+Fedora! IOW, that's a bit of a sweeping generalisation.

Why? Seriously, why? In these days of tab-completion and so on.

It's a handy at-a-glance way to distinguish Apple stuff, especially
GUI-level stuff, from the BSDish  underpinnings. Also bear in mind
that both OS X and Gobo tend to hide the Unixish stuff away from
casual users. Look at / on an OS X box and the Finder hides /usr and
/etc and all that.  It's there but invisible. Gobo uses a kernel
module, "gobohide", to do the same thing.

> Furthermore, OS X's config files are in PitA, crappy xml.

*Shrug* I run 4 or 5 OS X boxes and have supported many others; I've
never needed to dabble more than the *very* occasional single-line
edit, and most of that was years ago, in the 10.1-10.2 timeframe.

I see no especial issue.

OTOH, I *like* plain-text config files - I just think there's a dire
need for more centralisation, systematisation of the naming, etc.
Currently it's all over the place and is a bit of a nightmare.

I'd probably tend to agree, but then again, if someone ripped &
replaced /etc with a big, deep, structured hierarchical tree with
modern, human-readable names, I would rejoice.

Unix is changing, now more than ever. Already we have what are
effectively "forks" taking Unix in strange new directions - the
biggest (in terms of user numbers) being OS X (both Mac & phone
versions) and Google Android.

Maybe this is a good thing and Ubuntu needs to bravely step away from
its Unix legacy roots.

All right, fair enough. I thought it was an acceptable simplification,
but if you disagree, then I'll concede I went a step too far.

Er, Safe Boot is not Single-user mode. On a Mac you hold down Cmd-S
for runlevel 1 and it's much like it was in the olden days.

Scares the fsck out of Mac owners when you do it, too. :¬)

Thanks for that. Tell me, what end is it best to suck an egg from? :¬)

On that note, I'd add that Debian's also done away with all the other
runlevels apart from 0, 1, 2 and 6. Personally I quite liked having 2
and 3 at least (2 = all services, no X, 3 = everything). But they've
gone & they're not coming back.

Hmmm. True, possibly. I have thought that maybe a few simple simlinks
would do, but I'm sure that's a naïve view. I don't have enough
low-level Unixy knowledge to really tell.

Gobo has managed it, though, while retaining source compatibility with
a hundred thousand existing makefiles. :¬)

I'm curious. Why not? Is the distinction useful any more? If so, why?

I can perhaps see a distinction between OS binaries and external app
binaries, although it's a blurry one, and possibly between console
apps and X apps. But otherwise?

True.

Well, OK, not "forbidden", but unofficial and unsupported.

Q.v. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

"To avoid damaging your running system, upgrading should only be done
from one release to the next release [...]  If you wish to 'skip' a
version, you can backup your data and do a fresh installation, or
progressively upgrade to each successive version. For example, to
upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.10, first upgrade to 9.04, then
upgrade 9.04 to 9.10."

That is pretty explicit, I'd say.

Also, the supported upgrade process is to use update-manager, *not*
dist-upgrade, as described, e.g, here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade

"Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal
Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
Follow the on-screen instructions."

> just "editing sources.list and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade" and

It was, but it was only an experiment. It wasn't a problem.

I think that is an artifact of Debian users being more generally
clueful than Ubuntu users.

I was trying to go from 5 to the current "sid", but it's not really
important any more.

Every few years, emboldened by my growing Ubuntu knowledge, I give
Debian another try. Every time, I give up again a day or two later,
chastened.

I'll have to reboot a 10.04 machine to test - most all (except for two
test machines) have 10.10 and 11.04 on them. Currently testing SeaMonkey
2.1.b2 in 10.10 on the machine that has 10.04 on it, so it will be awhile.

Does Beagle work in 10.10?

If there were 2 or 3 reasonable search tools in 10.10, I might
consider that more seriously. So much for LTS as a good LT solution...
I was expecting important tools to keep working.

I appreciate your help and advice on this.

No - I was already running 10.04, and this was just a normal update of
software, as suggested by update manager. It was a bit overdue, so
there were perhaps 100+ items needing updates. The only other change
was the kernel, to get all 4 gigs of memory recognized.

Beagle did work in 10.04, until the latest S/W update, and I would
expect it to work on a clean install, if it is still the default
search tool. Now if the current 'clean install' is everything I have
in 10.04.2, requiring NO updates, and Beagle works, I'd be interested,
but reluctant. I have lots of S/W installed and lots of
customizations. I don't want to have to repeat all of that again if I
can help it. If, again, the latest update causes Beagle to fail after
a new install, all that would be a huge waste of time.

Now that I checked it, Beagle is not available in Ubuntu 10.10.


I installed it in a fully updated Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit installation that
I have, and it has indexed few files, and it shows up the user directory
Downloads as a search result.

Maybe I'm missing the boat here, but have you tried Searchmonkey? It 
should be in the repos. Here's an article about it, FWIW;

If you had read what I posted in my original answer, you would no
longer have this problem.  You are running an obsolete version of
youtube-dl - get the current one.  Here's what it does:

$ youtube-dl.sh "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJcpr4H77M"
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] erJcpr4H77M: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] erJcpr4H77M: Downloading video info webpage

[download] Destination: erJcpr4H77M.mp4
[download] 100.0% of 73.20M at  461.93k/s ETA 00:00

Where do you get it?  Search for "youtube-dl.sh" in Google (or your
favorite second-rate search engine  :-).

Subject: copying from vi to clipboard does not over writes clip board buffer
Message-ID: <AANLkTikZA6iJg4A7u3EUTmgrHSNiEmAwndeDT3aC6aNx@mail.gmail.com>

Here is a situation
Situation A
---------------------------------------
I open a text file in vi
and scroll to some line
now press Esc
and :"+yy
the line gets yanked
I open gedit and Ctrl+V
and then I see the line is pasted.

Situation B
------------------------------------------------
But the same does not work for a different situation.
Suppose I opened some link in Firefox and do a Ctrl+C and in gedit I do Ctrl+V
then I can see the link getting pasted but if now I repeat the steps I
described above in Situation A
then each time on gedit I do not see the text from vi copied but the
link repeated which I do not expect
because it should have been over written by the yanked line and the
previous link of firefox should not be copied.

My purpose of reporting this message on list
 is to find out if this is the correct behavior or it is a bug.

I've never done it that way - to grab a line (or lines) from vi to
export to a different program, I use the terminal text copy option -
select the text to copy with the mouse cursor, then <ctl><shift>C puts
it in the clipboard.

yy is an internal ex (vi in line mode) command that puts the text of
one line in vi's anonymous internal copy/paste buffer.  I was not
aware that it carried over into the clipboard at all, and I wouldn't
count on it doing so.

The question is why did buffer not gets over written.

The yy command in vi does not place the lines you yanked into the clipboard,
it places them in vi's undo buffer.  You should not be able to paste yanked lines
into another application; for that you should highlight and *copy* the
lines to the clipboard.

Subject: NamBar Problem
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=GzBDCjOTf+LggBu7PAD=+u-FtMzXj2vjOQqSA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a weird problem with NameBar Applet.

I installed it on my Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Release following a guide on the
Webupd8 site and it worked fine for a while.

Recently, though, some of the times I login, I get an error stating there
was a problem with the NameBar applet and I'm asked if I want to delete it
from my configuration.

I usually say no and just have to live without it for that session. If I log
out and back in again - it works. If I just add it again - next time I get
two...
Also, I have noticed there is no icon for it when I search for it in the
Apllets list in the 'Add Applet to Panel' window.

I am guessing it is either not installed correctly (removing with --purge
did not fix this) or a permission problem on the config directory...

Can anyone help?

Amichai.

Subject: static routes in network configuration files
Message-ID: <950801.97672.qm@web130204.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello,

I would like to establish a static route for my "Ubuntu 10.10" by adding it manually, rather than through the GUI (gnome-nettool).  A network search confirmed that the right place would be /etc/network/interfaces, but there is no stanza in that file for the interface in question, eth0.

Where does Ubuntu store the static routes?

I made a complete copy of /etc and added the route through the GUI, and then compared the new /etc against the old /etc.  There were no changes!

Note that the first mention of eth0 in /var/log/syslog is:
...avahi-daemon[1202]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv4 with address w.x.y.z.
avahi-daemon[1202]: New relevant interface eth0.IPv4 for mDNS.
avahi-daemon[1202]: Registering new address record for w.x.y.z on eth0.IPv4.

Does avahi store stuff elsewhere than in /etc?  If so, why?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Tapas,

With respect. People have read your message and have explained to you
that what you _expect_ to happen is not what is _designed_ to happen.

Situation A: vi does _not_ yank to the clipboard used by your desktop
environment, so pasting will not have the effect you desire
Situation B: Repeating the steps in Situation A doesn't negate the
fact that vi does _not_ yank the clipboard to your desktop
environment. So pasting the second time will paste whatever was
already in the buffer.

Al.

I cannot replicate this behaviour. I cannot yank a line in vi and paste
it into gedit. Are you (Tapas) sure this is what is happening?

Only if I mark the text in vi with the mouse can I paste it into gedit -
and then only with a middle mouse click, not with Ctl-V.

This is the behaviour I expect and that is familiar to me; vi is not
X-aware.

Regards, K.

Yes I most of the time do it like that.
If you yank into the "+ register, it will go into the x11 selection,
which can be pasted using Control+V.
For this you can see vim help (:help clipboard)

4. Making Gui Selections
  *clipboard*
There is a special register for storing this selection, it is the "*
register.  Nothing is put in here unless the information about what text is
selected is about to change (e.g. with a left mouse click somewhere), or when
another application wants to paste the selected text.  Then the text is put
in the "* register.  For example, to cut a line and make it the current
selection/put it on the clipboard: >

I forgot to mention check this thread how to use yank of vi to put the
copied line to system clip boards buffer
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686955
I have a feeling what I asked here on this list seems a bug to me.
It is a lesser known feature of vi and it works in one case it should
work in other case also.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=vPNxRNh6yxY7fAEjHLMFACmwe+cCno4E-re+Z@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Netbook with the Poulsbo GMA500 drivers and
VLC 1.1.7.

This machine is used for a specific web based video streaming app using the
VLC plugin inside Firefox.

I have a strange problem when I start a stream, I sometimes loose the audio.
i have to switch to another video stream or stop and start it to get the
audio back.

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Amichai.

Something I've found very useful and so far has worked for me on
various Linux distros and various terminals (aterm, Gnome Terminal,
xterm, Terminator, etc):

In the terminal, regardless of whether its running vi, emacs, or just
sitting in the shell, highlight the text you want with the mouse
(right click and hold and drag fro one end of the selection to the
other, then release right button.

In the target, where you want the text to appear, middle click, OR
click both right and left buttons simultaneously at the position you
want to paste the text.

That works pretty much ever time, universally, without having to
wonder if the text I copied is now in this buffer or that buffer or
wherever, and as long as you don't click anywhere else (do any other
click actions) you can middle click and paste that selected text as
many times as you want.

Cheers,

Jeff

That is not at all the question.
Neither I want to know how to copy from vi to system clipboard buffer.
(Which I have been doing very well)
My question is when the clip board buffer is occupied by some arbit
URL or some text then the same process
does not transfers the content from "+ or "* register to x11 fields.
This does works once but if you interrupt then it does not work.

Wow, I did not know that (though I find I have to mark with the left
button, not the right).  It does not only work to and from the
terminal, it works with all apps that I have tried so far.  Many
thanks for that gem of knowledge.  In particular it gets round a
problem I have with jEdit that copy out of jEdit will not paste into a
terminal for some reason (into gedit and other apps is all right, it
is just the terminal that it will not paste into, similarly I can copy
from gedit into the terminal, it is just jEdit to the terminal that is
the problem, no more a problem though with the new magic method).

No problem... I discovered that ages and ages ago and I hardly ever
use the clipboard for anything because of it.  I've never seen that
documented anywhere, in nearly 2 decades of using Linux in various
ways, so I don't even know if that is intentional behaviour or just a
happy accident of design.

The only trick though is that you lose the text if you left click
anywhere else... which changes focus from the original window that you
highlighted text in.

And yes, that should  have been LEFT clicks, not RIGHT clicks,
(unless, of course, your mouse is mapped for left handed usage, which,
IIRC, reverses the button order).  I can't always tell right from left
:)

   Hello, <hunguponcontent at gmail.com>!

   Like you, I'm unhappy with certain policies of Gmail (and Google
in general). Looking for alternatives, I found Hushmail,[1] which
is very safe, since it allows the sending and receiving of
encrypted messages. However, the capacity of its free version is
very limited: only 2 MiB. But it is an option you can consider.

   Goodbye!

I don't find a problem if I click in another window on the way, it

i've built a brand-new computer.  it's only role is to run Zoneminder to
handle our security cameras, and allow our employee to use the web
interface to monitor the cameras.

i installed ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on it and the installation went
perfectly fine.  the system will freeze after a random number of days,
though.  i can't ping it, ssh to it, nor use the keyboard/mouse (which
are bluetooth anyway).  the backups it is scheduled to create daily do
not get created until the system is rebooted and running again.  so, it
seems like a complete freeze to me.

i've checked the system log (/var/log/syslog) to see if i notice
anything, but i cannot.

i thought it might be the video drivers, but i actually didn't have the
proprietary drivers installed.  i tried installing the proprietary
drivers anyway just to see, for now.

i've used ubuntu for a few years now on many systems and it's never been
unstable, so i'm thinking it must be a faulty piece of hardware.  i want
to know how i can troubleshoot this.  i've put my dmesg at
http://pastebin.com/Faq7ZqTa

please let me know what steps i can take.  thanks so much

So does gmail (and hotmail, yahoo...)

Unless you're talking about encrypting messages on hushmail's servers
with hushmail's applet when they have already turned over keys and
decrypted messages to the US government and have stated that they may
be compelled to deliver a compromised applet to a user. Allowing
encryption doesn't make it any more safe, and if the majority of your
contacts aren't also on hushmail or using PGP, it's unlikely you're
encrypting much anyway.

Hushmail is good for passing security. For real security (from
them)even they recommend using GnuPG and the like on your desktop,
which will work with any email provider just fine.

Realistically gmail allowing 2-factor authentication would make it
more "safe" than hushmail from a typical attacker.

i noticed, when working with the terminal, there are two different
clipboards.  i haven't researched this in-depth, but i've just noticed
that they exist.

one clipboard is accessed with ^C and ^V and another is accessed with
^Insert and Shift+Insert.  in the terminal, i have to use Shift+^C and
Shift+^V in place of ^C and ^V

thanks, i was thinking of trying that.  i guess what is throwing me off
is that everything is brand-new.  the RAM is Crucial ECC memory.  i'll

At first, during boot, select and run memtest86+ in the boot menu.

I get this as well. It does not seem to cause a problem.  The file it
refers to is on the system. I also sometimes get a message that
says /dev/null does not exist when it most certainly does!  Perhaps
these messages are coming when the boot sequence still only has the
initial ram disk (initrd), before root is mounted, and these files are
not in the initial ram disk.

When I first bought my system it would run well for  few days then go
ape and freeze up. Then it started happening more often. I suspected the
power supply was flaky and took it back to the guy that built it. He
found the power supply WAS flaky, replaced it and I've run it non-stop
for several years now. That is a thought to consider. Ric

New != works

Another thought aside from bad hardware, since you mention this
happens after a number of days... what else has changed?

When you've run this in the past on older hardware, were you also
running an older version of Ubuntu or Zoneminder or any other
software?

How about running a simple script via cron every 5 minutes or so to
track mem usage across time via ps or something?  This also sounds
like a memory leak somewhere that slowly eats away your memory...

Another possibility is ambient temperature in the case, though that
usually causes problems a lot faster than "a few days" but if the fans
in the case are just slightly less efficient than they need to be, a
very slow buildup of heat could also be a culprit...

heh... this is a rabbit hole :)  but my money is on bad ram as was
suggested, or a memory leak in some program you're running.

It is optional IF you already have a Gmail account. Should you wish to 
make a new Gmail account (or if you don't already have one), you will be 
required to enter your mobile telephone number and accept a SMS message 
to sign up.

Note, partly to others on this list: I suspect this is not 'real' vi, 
but rather vim or gvim. The mentioned "+yy (and other variants) does 
work for me there. See :help x11

These are not two different clipboards, they are different ways to
access the same one.

On UNIX and UNIX-based systems, in a terminal, ^C means to issue a
SIGINT to the running process, and ^V is a special character prefix
(as in, the next special character you type will be treated as
non-special).  These are kind of carved into stone, going back to the
early days of UNIX (more than a decade before MS's GUI with its ^C-^V
behavior) and since, so in order to allow access to the clipboard at
all in a terminal, you have to shift the characters.

If you select something in a non-terminal window and copy it (usually
with ^C), you can then paste it into a terminal with <shift>^V, and
the same is true in reverse.

AFAIK, there is only one clipboard.

The issue with what happens in vim when you use the + register sounds
like an incomplete or improper implementation in vim, possibly a bug,
and should probably be reported to the appropriate person (Bram
Moolenaar et al).

Try:

$ cat /etc/hosts

Mine shows:
$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.100	gl	# Added by NetworkManager <==
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
::1	gl	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6
127.0.1.1 gl

Nameservers go in /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <nameserverIP>

Pre-Maverick I had interfaces configured for the IP, but finally
commented it out & went with NM as NM seems to ignore those settings.

I do use the config on my other machine that uses Wicd instead of NM.
Note I add the mtu to tune my DSL - you may not need it. You may also
want to add 'broadcast' & 'network' information as well. See 'man
interfaces' for more information.

I recently reformatted my Dell 4500S desktop computer (1.76 Gigahertz
Celeron processor) with Ubuntu 10.10 and despite an error message saying
certain packages couldn¹t be removed, things seemed to work just fine.  I
installed Ubuntu as the sole operating system. However, I started noticing
some bugginess and thought maybe the installation was corrupted. After a
forced shutdown, Ubuntu would no longer boot up my computer ­ saying ³init
not found.²
I booted up using the CD disk, but the installation got stuck on the
³Preparing to install² window and never went forward. I downloaded Ubuntu
again using my Mac and burned the iso to disk per the instructions. I booted
up Ubuntu on my Dell with the new CD and went to install Ubuntu 10.10 again,
and once again, it got stuck on the ³Preparing to install² window. Any ideas
on how I can successfully re-install Ubuntu on my old computer?  Thanks in

I'm confused... if you reformatted, how did you get this error?
Formatting doesn't delete packages, it overwrites the disk with a new,
empty filesystem.

It's linked to the correct gcc-4.4 but gcc-4.4 has zero length.

A friend of mine wants to try a Skype connection with me, and I'm
curious if anyone here is using Skype on Maverick (only) and how
that's going.

Thanks.

I have a Logitech B500 webcam (according to lsusb) and Skype works
just fine for me on 10.10 i386.  Didn't have to do anything special to
get it to work or anything, just plugged in the webcam and it just
worked.

I did indeed - thanks :-)

@Neil:

$ apt-cache policy gcc-4.4
gcc-4.4:
  Installed: 4.4.4-14ubuntu5
  Candidate: 4.4.4-14ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 4.4.4-14ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages

You said you reinstalled; did you try?

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc-4.4

You may have to also reinstall 'gcc-4.4-base' - but I think reinstalling
gcc-4-4 should pull in base.

Added note, Neil: please do not cc me on your replies - I read the list
thanks & really don't need to have an extra copy.

You may also try the free Ekiga. It is free for Windows too.

Please do not post in HTML or at the top of your replies.
Bottom-posted plain text is preferred on this list.

The "Try Ubuntu environment on my computer" option will install Ubuntu
in a special directory under your current OS.  This simulates the
"real" Ubuntu environment without you having to change your OS to
test-drive it.  Most anything you can do in Ubuntu should be available
for you to do within that environment.

Creating a bootable Ubuntu on a USB drive is a slightly different
issue.  in this case, you are essentially putting the CD image onto a
USB drive.  Although I have not done so myself, that issue has been
discussed more than once on this list, so you can look through the
archives to find the details or just run a quick web search for
instructions (and give more attention to the results that refer to
Ubuntu or come from the Ubuntu forums).

Thanks - would have been better if you had said what that is and
whether it is Skype-compatible, but the reference is appreciated.

I've set up Skype on 10.10 (HP G60 laptop w/built in webcam), but only
tested with audio so far. Wife recently got herself a new HP Mini 110
netbook  (also has built in webcam) that I've yet install Ubuntu on, so
it has the default Win7 Starter on it. I Plan to set her up a Skype on
the netbook (first in Win7) so that I can test both audio & video
between Win7 and 10.10. Any interest in the results?

Skype works OK for me too using Logitech C250 with built in microphone.
Use it regularly to chat face to face with my brother, because MSN in
Empathy doesn't work well yet.

Just a couple of tips. Before you connect, check that the microphone
input is working in Sound Preferences.  Then check the webcam is working
with something like Cheese or guvcview, or perhaps in Skype's
settings.  

This is because Ubuntu may not have them enabled and my experience is
that you may not be able to enable them once Skype is started. In fact I
have found that Skype can get well and truly locked up with the only
option to completely reboot (at least Ubuntu does that quickly).

Myself have used the Skype version that comes in Ubuntu repositories,
successfully talking with a fellow who uses Windows and the latest Skype
version.

Hello NoOp,

Thanks for reminding me of that. I installed the Synaptic version, let
it index, and it seems to be working well so far.

I used an earlier version some time ago, and the current version is
**MUCH** better than the quite old one I had tried before. I had
worked with the developer to put in some advanced search capabilities,
and those are MUCH better integrated and 'smoother' to use than in the
old version. My initial impression is that it is now equal to Beagle
in usability, and superior for complex searches. At this point, it is
about equal to my favorite DTsearch.

All this depends on how reliable it is over time, of course, but it
looks good so far. If it keeps working, I would recommend it as the
best choice for search.

N> as you will see, recoll is activly worked on:

Maybe it will *keep on* working, unlike the dead Beagle. :-))

Thanks again for the help.

Running Skype 2.1.0.81ubuntu5 (maverick) on AMD64 to talk to several
different users (on different OSs) back in the UK (I'm in Canada).  The
only change I had to make from the stock install was to launch Skype
with:
bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype'
to avoid video problems with my webcam:  
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger

Otherwise good audio & quite impressive full-screen video.

Hmmm... perhaps something is no longer compatible, which is what I

Interesting... if I had not already found a solution [see the 'solved'
email] I might have done this to get a good search tool. Recoll seems
to work well on my box, and I will probably continue with that.

Thanks VERY much for all the help - I appreciate it!!

An interesting idea, but it does not seem to be an indexed search
tool. I have about 300,000 files, many quite large, and a brute force
search would take quite a long time. It takes several hours to index
them, but once that is done, searches are quite fast.

I appreciate your suggestion, though.

Thanks,

I must be missing something.  I downloaded the i686 3 month version and
ark unzipped it from 15.1 to 15.6 MiB, whereas the download page says
the file is 210.7 MB.
K3B says:

Detected: Iso9660 image
Filesize is 16.6 MiB, (different than declared volume size)
Volume size 212.5 MiB,

I stopped at this point, of course.
I've downloaded and burned things before without problems, so what
am I doing wrong?

(Using PCLOS at the moment.)

I don't know about that, but you can also use the "Ultimate Boot CD"
(UBCD) from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/.  It has a lot of nice
recovery software on board.

FOLLOWUP:

A followup to my previous email about this website.

There is something wrong with the stresslinux.org site.  I tried to
download the file (number 34) using Windows7 and had the same
sort of problems as on Linux.  For the record, I use the same
email program (Thunderbird) and the same browser (Firefox) on
both systems, which are on different computers.

First:  Many of the d/l tries simply go nowhere.  You get a blank
browser screen, with "done" at the bottom.

Next: Sometimes you get a download window.  (It looks the same
in Linux and Windows.)  Then the d/l starts, and it says it will d/l
200 odd MB and take 14~ minutes (or whatever exact numbers)
and then after 13 or 20 MB or so, it just stops, and the d/l
window closes, as if it is done.

Third:  If you go to the site, it gives you an opportunity to register.
(For what, I'm not sure.)  So I did.  They take your email address and
promise an email.  The email never comes.  (This is about 3 hours
or more ago.)  At the same time, you get to log in, with the
user name and password you have chosen, but all you get is a
chance to write a history of yourself.  I didn't.

If this isn't a scam, then there is something seriously wrong here.

They are doing something wrong with their download links. Here is a
working one:

However there is still a size mismatch.

I don't think so.  This time, the d/l window opens, it says 0 bytes, and 
that's it.
No pretense of downloading anything at all.  Tried twice.  Then I tried 
it in
Windows, and had the same sort of experience I originally had in both Linux
and Windows--after 3 tries, a d/l window opened, it downloaded 2.9 MB 
and quit.

It's too bad--this looks like a very useful program, if it really can be 
obtained.
I'm big on diagnostic routines, but I guess I'll have to pass on this one.

(I read your other post--I think it was yours--where you said that the 
size is
wrong.  I suspect that if you burn whatever you downloaded, it won't work.)

If they ever send me the email they promised, I will report back to them
what I have observed.

Not sure what you mean - my problem is figuring out what to put into the  
file/whether what I have now is correct as I couldn't find any examples in  
the documentation. I believe editing the interfaces file is the supported  
way of configuring the network, unless I missed something (CLI  
networkmanager?)

No. I moved from debian specifically to natty to get a newer kernel which  
contains a driver I need. Googling around, it seems to be a common issue  
introduced in maverick which can be worked around:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598164
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657239
Either the documentation is wrong or the use case is not addressed and not  
supported, or there's a bug that needs fixing (possibly reporting).

Subject: tomcat startup script not working at boot
Message-ID: <AANLkTinkMKk_cLkZiT4U2TU8s6S0+KL8Gd2bAS4++jbH@mail.gmail.com>

I am having problems in starting tomcat at boot time with an automated
script of mine.
The Tomcat I am using is 5.5 since Sakai installation of mine depends
on 5.5 version on any other version it will break.
So /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31 is where every thing is and in that
bin/startup.sh is what I am trying to start each time at boot.
After writing the script I have done update-rc.d defaults
and I checked from command line
/etc/init.d/tomcatstart
/etc/init.d/tomcat stop

does work
where myscript above refers to the script below

but the same does not work when I reboot the system.

#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat
#
# chkconfig:
# description: Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.

# Source function library.
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

RETVAL=$?
CATALINA_HOME="/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31"

case "$1" in
start)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh ];
then
echo $"Starting Tomcat"
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31/bin/startup.sh

fi
;;
stop)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh ];
then
echo $"Stopping Tomcat"
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31/bin/shutdown.sh
fi
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL


any pointers?

Maybe there are better ways, but in the past I used to install     scripts in 
the /etc/network directory? This directory has 4     sub-directories, 
if-down.d,  if-post-down.d,  if-pre-up.d, and      if-up.d in which you can 
install scripts to be executed when the     network connection is brought up 
and/or down.  Also, if you use the     network manager then there is the 
directory     /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d in which I used in the past to 
run     a script that detected network interface changes and acted upon.     
That may help you automate the process.

Avi


Thank you for the pointer, I will try the solution mentioned above. Yes I use 
NM.

some related question: I use sometimes the Google Mail web interface.
They seems to have a new design, but where is the sign out button?

Click on the down-arrow to the right of your name to bring up a menu.  The

You might want to try the ppa version. With that version you can click
to table-based mode. See:

@ is almost always <shift>2 (capital 2, on the upper row of keys,
*not* the number pad).

Why would Ctrl+q work?

Anyway, check your keyboard layout. Your name sounds a bit Scandinavian,  
so I guess you have a Scandinavian keyboard, right? I have my own layout,  
but a quick look at my wife's keyboard reveals that @ is located at  
AltGr+2 on Swedish keyboards. If you were Norwegian or Danish, I guess  
your name would be spelled Bjørn rather than Björn, but just in case, I  
did a quick check, and it seems like both Danish and Norwegian keyboards  
have @ at AltGr+2 and the same goes for Finnish keyboards.

System → Inställningar (Preferences?) → Tangentbord (Keyboard) → Layouter  
(Layouts) → Select one of the layouts you have → Visa… (View…?) → You will  
now see the selected layout.

I searched a bit, and found the gnome-art package in the repositories.

I am checking it currently, so far it looks promising. It downloads and
shows desktop backgrounds, desktop themes, login screen themes, etc.,
from http://art.gnome.org in a nice application, that allows you to
apply those you like.

That was an interesting fiddle for a few minutes. On my UK keyboard,
AltGr-Q gives me @ and AltGr-Shift-Q (in that order) gives me Ω. If I
press Shift-AltGr-Q it gives me that irritating little sound that says I
did something wrong.

I've done it as recently as Lucid. I'd test it on my machine now but I
no longer use GDM. Hope that helps.

  So - in the event that CNTRL-Q doesn't work, try ALT-F4, or a combination
of cntrl-alt-delete repeatedly.

  On a mac you'd probably want to push the "COMMAND"-Q combination for the
most frequently used cases in which
  alt-F4 doesn't work.

  If none of the above works try power cycling for four times (with a
minimum power off for 45 seconds per iteration),
  and then push CNTRL-ALT F-G-H and the "plus" button.  You will need to
power cycle every time that you need to
  type the "@" button.

  Let me know how it goes!

signatures were invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139 Oracle Corporation

If you have no key marked that way, try the key immediately to the right
of your space bar.

For "@", try that key plus the key with "Q" on it, and try pressing them
together and one after the other (AltGr first). Also try
Shift-Apostrophe (single quote).

One solution might be to use the "Character Palette" applet and either
a) use a non-Icelandic keyboard layout, obtaining Icelandic characters
from the Character Palette applet, or b) set up your own palette in the
Character Palette applet and cut and paste an "@"-symbol into it. It
would depend on which characters you use most as to which was the better
solution.

And of course you could just do an exhaustive test of all plausible key
combinations. If you have any kind of standard Icelandic layout, it will
be a two-key combination. Remember that left and right modifiers (like
shift, ctrl etc) can be treated differently - test with both separately.

Regards, K.

PS: Surely you are not the only person using an Icelandic layout? Can
you contact any Icelandic colleagues and compare notes?

You don't have an Alt-key to the right of the space bar?

I've just switched to my old Toshiba Satellite. It has a US type
keyboard with no AltGr button so I can't do the above with it.

What you could do is just open the character map, select the common
script, and there near the top.

Or try this:-
Hold down Ctrl+Shift
type U40
Release Ctrl+Shift

Are you using an Icelandic keyboard layout? The character you get from
such key combinations is very dependent on the keyboard layout you are
using...

That's the first one that works for me!  (not counting  <shift-2>).
Where are these keystrokes documented?  I can see a huge usage for them
internationally instead of using the character map like I have been
doing.

Again - what works depends on your keyboard layout. That one should work
for everyone whose keytops match their keyboard layout for U, 4 and 0
and, in extreme cases, the shift and control keys :-)

Subject: Disabling swap at boot.
Message-ID: <op.vq20fucd2duhmw@cruz>

I wanted to disable swap at boot, so I added "noswap" (besides nomce) at  
the linux line of the grub entry. However noted swap is still enabled (at  
my desktop)......

pop at cruz:~$ swapon -s
Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
/dev/sda6                               partition	2559996	0	-1

Is there something I missed out?

note: I do not want to disable swap at fstab as this OS (ubuntu with e17)  
is on the thumb drive and when at my desktop, I wanted the swap to be  
enabled (booted by the desktop grub) and when at other computers (booted  
by the thumb grub) and obviously unable to use swap, I do not want the  
system to search for non-existent swap partition.

Thanks and regards - Goh Lip

The noswap kernel option is a Debianism:

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

On Debian, "/etc/init.d/checkroot.fs" checks for "$NOSWAP" after
sourcing "/lib/init/vars.sh", which sets "$NOSWAP".

On Ubuntu, "/etc/init/mountall.conf" calls mountall, which "reads
fstab(5)  and calls fsck(8), mount(8) and swapon(8) in the correct
order to mount filesystems once the underlying devices have been
created by udevd(8)" (from man page).

I have two questions though.

1. Does the search for a swap partition/file take *that* long?! I have
three VMs where I just track some dev branches where, out of laziness
and desire for speed, I have sda1 set up as the only ("/") partition
and I don't see much (if any) of a delay for a search for a swap
partition at boot.

2. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. What's the thumb
drive's install's swap line in fstab?

I'm confused: the @ symbol appears both in the subject line and the body
of your email.  If you can't find the symbol on your keyboard, how did
you manage to type it in your email?

Oh, that explains it. Had been trying hard to figure why this doesn't work.

Heh heh, not really. Also I confess I do not see my swap being used at all  
now too, ever since flash doesn't crash firefox some time back. Perhaps I  
am just being fastidious trying to get things set up right and not being  
practical about it. (talking to myself -- fastidious? more like fussy  
querurous cantankerous old fart!  :) ).

Had resumed doing a bit of travelling, and like in the past, just taking  
the thumb instead of the labtop. Computers are everywhere.
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=409eef4d-2da2-4a06-91aa-21f4bd388b8c none            swap

If you click on the one you want in the character map, it shows the hex
code for that character at the bottom. Replace 40 with that (they might
be 4 digits instead of 2) and maybe record the ones you use frequently
on a post it.

You might want to remove these two swap-related lines from your fstab
and add some lines to "/etc/rc.local" to swapon the above if it
exists.

Something along the lines of testing for the existence of
"409eef4d-2da2-4a06-91aa-21f4bd388b8c" with blkid and then "swapon -U
409eef4d-2da2-4a06-91aa-21f4bd388b8c".

Please check the man page because I may be misremembering the correct
syntax, but "blkid --type=swap -o value | grep 409eef4d..." should be
a good test stanza.

As a non-expert, my guesses are twofold:

1) Glitch while updating package list. Try updating the list again and 
see if that helps.

2) Strange effects when using a mirror that is currently being updated. 
Try waiting some time and update the package list.

Of course, I assume this could be a sign of a compromised mirror, and I 
would not upgrade until the problem is fixed.

I have seen this so often that I do not think it should be a cause for 
concern, just a cause for waiting a bit and trying again.

Message-ID: <AANLkTikOpvPBZFXJ1AZSagGcLv5pqo8N7WffayPMn+Or@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

With the Ububtu installed here at work I tried yesterday to give it a first
spin at home.
Burned 10.10 with imgburn, and fired up my dv8 hp pavillion.
The thing is that it goes directly no windows welcome screen. I checked the
boot configuration in bios (1-cd 2-usb-3-hd)
Then I tried run it from usb drive because I burned the image on  dvd disk,
not cd and was wandering if that could be the cause. Same result.
Could this be caused by some kind of sick  protection from hp engineering
team?

I never had this kind of behaviour before, a boot cd is a boot cd...

Thanks

/etc/rc.local does not exist. But don't worry about it, Tom. I am quite  
(absolutely) satisfied with understanding why the swap was not disabled.  
Also, if the swap exists (seldom, with the office computers I'm given) in  
other computers, I can enable it if I *really* (doubt it) need to. Again,  
I'm just fastidious ...heh heh.

Thanks Tom, take care - Goh Lip

Thanks for the sanity check. It seems at the moment that I get 'failed to
fetch...' for all repo files, so it must be a glitch. I'll wait it out a
while and run the check to make sure. When I get the repo back, I'll rerun
the update.

There's one thing that I forgot. Sorry!

You also have to edit the "ACTIVE_CONSOLES" line in
"/etc/default/console-setup".

I think that this'll be enough but there may be some gdm.conf settings
to change too. I only have X-less Ubuntu installs so I can't check
this. Does one of the files in "/etc/gdm/" have a "FirstVT" variable
set (for example the standard "FirstVT=7"? If it does, you'll have to
change it to 12. It wouldn't hurt to set it though.

You're welcome.

By "if it exists" I meant the swap partition no rc.local. You must've
deleted the latter because it should always be there!

Anyway, another option is to remove the fstab entry and run a swapon
script manually when you're on your desktop.

I am ... flabbergasted that you have never seen this documented.  Surely 
that is a critical failure of Linux documentation for beginners.  This 
has been the standard Unix way of Copy/Paste ever since a mouse was 
first used on Unix computers, long before the desktop environments 
hacked in a "Clipboard" ala Windows/Mac. (Sorry, no citation, and no 
doubt a more anal ^H^H^H^H detail oriented person will correct me on the 
timeline.)

Did a swapoff and swapon and yes, rc.local is there.

Subject: n00b gksudo problem
Message-ID: <AANLkTimNzt4=tLCtkuqXL-hO_A3u3pCbf3HxQ3r8-T8y@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to run a shell script on my 10.04 box with this in it -
cd /usr/local/Jdec
exec java -cp .:jdec20.jar net.sf.jdec.ui.main.UILauncher

I added a menuitem that has -
gksudo /usr/local/Jdec/Jdec-UI.sh

When I run it from the gnome menu, I get no response
at the commandline I tried sudo /usr/local/Jdec/Jdec-UI.sh
after the prompt for the pw, the term window flashes and - nothing.
I altered the script to remove the 'exec' and this time the term window
stays open longer, but still - no joy.
I also tried to run the modified script (without the 'exec') from the gnome
menu with the same results.
I changed the type of the menu entry from 'application' to 'application in
terminal' with no differences.

I even tried putting the call to java on the properties line in the menu
item, but that produces errors saying that the child process cannot be
started.

The only way this runs is if I sudo, then cd to /usr/local/Jdec, then run
the shell script at the commandline.

I must be missing something...

Input is (as always) welcome.

Is this the entire text of the file?  Please confirm or post the
contents with delineaters so we can see what is in the file and what
is just the message.

Unless I completely misunderstand gksudo, that will only work properly
for actual X applications.

What you're doing is attempting to launch a command line shell script
in a graphical shell - YMMV, but I would not expect this to work.

Have you tried creating a launcher that just executes the command in
the script, preceded by gksudo?

Seems like that should work.

I would suggest to use the original firmware that comes with the router 
because with the open firmware versions you loose the "secure easy 
setup" functionality. This feature was quite nice to connect a Windows 
Vista laptop to the router when the retarded Windows version wouldn't 
allow to paste the 63 character WPA2 key.

Furthermore, I would suggest to buy a router for the new 802.11n 
standard, not the old 802.11b/g - there is no big price difference. The 
802.11n routers are compatible with the old 802.11b/g standard, so there 
shouldn't be a problem if the netbook only supports the b/g standard. 
Yes, I know it may not work with the higher link speed over 50 feet 
through two walls, but who knows what other machines will connect to 
that router in the future and over which distances? Maybe then the 
faster router will be appreciated. And another advantage of the modern 
routers is the increased RAM size which might be interesting if you 
really want to replace the firmware with any of the open firmware 
versions.

Now, if you ask me for a specific type of 802.11n router, I can only 
name the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND which is the one I have. But there are 
others which should work as well.

The big question is, have we answered the OP's query?

@OP: have any of these useful suggestions helped at all?

You might be onto something here.

I have grepped /etc up and down left and right for the keywords vt, maybe
I'll try VT.

A bit of detective work appears to indicate that the "vt7" bit that gdm
passes to the X server is very very stubborn, almost as if hardcoded into
the gdm binary.

I've found a Debian Sid VM and I did the above (inittab,
console-setup, and FirstVT) and GDM's starting on vt12.Unless
something's been seriously modified in Ubuntu, it should work for you
too.

I'm inclined to blame the "seriously modified"

There is no FirstVT setting anywhere under /etc at all, let alone /etc/gdm.
 A recursive grep shows this.

Maybe vt7 happens to be a hard coded default.  Could you tell me the exact
filename that FirstVT is in on your system?  I might try injecting it
manually on my end.

Sorry. Create either "gdm.conf", "custom.conf", or "daemon.conf" (only
the latter works in sid) in "/etc/gdm/" with
---<begin>---
[daemon]
FirstVT = 12
---<end>---
as its contents.

wow everyone!  thanks so much for the input and all the ideas.

the PSU is an Antec (very good reputation with me) TP-550 and it is
plugged into a APC RS 1500VA.  i'm not sure how to check if the PSU is
flaky?

this is a new setup for Zoneminder; we've not had it running previously
on older hardware/software.

in the mean time i'll monitor memory usage, i'll test out the RAM when
time permits, check out stresslinux, and report back with any findings...

Search ebay for "Antec power supply tester"

The specification and price of these has gone up since I bought mine.
It's very well worth having one if you fool around with PCs.

Yes I buy Antec supplies too but I've had one fail on me soon after
installation. Last one I bought was the EarthWatts 380. It's running
just fine.

Dave


PS that's the same UPS as I've got. Years old, still works well.

$ fdisk -l to list devices or

I'd forgotten about Ubuntu's plymouth. It must be interfering in the
tty assignment, but I have no idea how to control that.

Minor brain fade isn't proof of idiocy.

Try "dmesg | tail -n40"

Gets the last 40 lines.

There is also an Ubuntu package named 'stress' for stress testing. I puts
simultaneous load on various components, all of which are adjustable.

I would be on hardware issue as well. Not sure what you need for your
software, but if you don' t have to have X, I would not have it in the way.

proxy user is probably associated with some kind of proxy software, 
running anything you can think of?

It sounds like it's running through cron, check through /etc/cron.daily/ 
and you'll likely find the script that is responsible for the entries. 
If not there then in root's crontab.

Note that the log is nothing to be afraid of. It is the root user 
becoming the proxy user and not the other way around. If something bad 
is already operating as root, it is likely to do something as root.

First I want to thank everyone who helped me, big THANKS. :-)

It's now working and here's how I fixed it:

I grabbed the deb files for cpp, gcc and g++ and reinstalled them. No amount
of reinstall worked. Ubuntu likes to use a lot or indirection (links to things)
and most of the packages are basically empty except for the links. I really
don't appreciate the level of obfuscation this causes. It's very annoying.

Sorry about that, too much time with MS LookOut (at work) and exhaustion
make for use of bad habits (respond all).

Glad you got it sorted out. I'm still curious as to how/what the results
where when you attempted to reinstal via apt-get. I don't suppose that
you kept logs/files from that?

You figure he is incapable of overcoming ignorance? OTOH, many fervent
Linux users refer to Windows with all sorts of monikers, quite a few do,

I think you have to pass trough the menu:

system

administration

synaptic package manager

here you may choose a lot of option about gcc

Subject: ACPI on Toshiba Satellite not working (omnibook)
Message-ID: <965738.46226.qm@web121406.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

After installing !0.10 Maverick on toshiba satellite (M70) with Intel Pentium M  
I found the omnibook acpi-module without function.
I used it before with debian lenny 2007 and found it working in an installation 
of ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32.21.
Now having / testing 2.6.35.22 and 2.6.35.25 I may do a modprobe and appearing 
the module in lsmod, but not working: /proc/omnibook will be found afterwards, 
but empty.
With debian and 10.04 I was able to set the cooler function mode, throttling and 
more.

Also I found in the kernel-config the Toshiba-Support deselected. But that was 
the same with  kernel 2.6.35.21, where the acpi was working.
Though I tried making a kernel with this support but canceled since I found, I 
have not the needed 3GB+ working space for this operation.
May I install (find) an older kernel 2.6.32.21 to the Maverick system and / or 
what are other options to get the acpi working?

thank you for hints
michael

on my toshiba laptop I was having a hard time setting up wireless networking.
I had tried before with live-CD Knoppix, debian / kde based, where it worked 
instantly and thus was thinking, ubuntu will manage this also out-of-the-box.
But I needed long time until it finally worked and now don't know, why I got the 
final success.
It was installation of 10.10 Maverick and the problem wasn't the driver, 
ipw2200, which was loaded and enabled scanning of networks.
Problem was caused by the network-management-gui, that mostly didn't work (and I 
need the gui, since I'm frequently changing the wireless-environment).

Before I mostly used the KWifimanager with Debian, but couldn't manage WPA and 
seems to be expired. Now there are applets available, but they come without 
hints, how to set them up - they rside somewhere within the system, while the 
controlpanels don't know about them (that was my experience with nm-applet)
I finally got it setup, but without knowing, why it's working.

Therefore the question: is there any way of installing, that is nearly 
fail-proof and managing wireless LANs through GUI ?
May I set it up without an "all-inclusive" installationprocess of ubuntu / 
kubuntu? I'd like to have a system without a mass of toys, that I don't need, 
that's fitting on a DVD to backup.
Which packages are needed for installing wireless-management, like the nm-applet 
(i found within another installation) is doing?

thanx for replying
michael

I have Ubuntu Server and it did not have Synaptic but I did decide to
install it. After installing it I tried various methods for reinstalling
gcc and g++ but neither worked. What they did was reinstall the links
but failed to restore the binaries. In the end I had to find the correct
deb packages with the binaries and reinstall those.

I'm uncertain of which logs they would be in. Though I would think
that by now it would be a confusing mess as I've reinstalled, removed,
and added the various packages server times over.

Jorge, please try to avoid top posting on this list.  It keeps the
conversation in order if you put your replies *under* the previous
exchanges, making it easier to follow.  Also please trim the old
material judiciously when there is more than about a screen full.

It looks as if you need to go to the BIOS (F2, F10 or Del at boot time:
the boot screen should tell you) and change the "boot order" to CD/DVD
and then hard disk.  Then you should be able to boot from CD.

Try clearing the old key via synaptic & then try the wget again. If that
fails:

$ sudo apt-get clean
$ cd /var/lib/apt
$ sudo mv lists lists.old
$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get update

Dear List,

I've tried to compile and run the
usb-device-cdc-serial-project-at91sam7s-ek. I'm using the codesourcery
toolchain and the sam-ba programming tool. The compilation and flash
procedures go well. However, there are some problems when I try to connect
and communicate with the board.

I made some modifications to the source, i added the following piece of code
before the last two ifstatements:

        usbBuffer[0] = 0x01234567;
        usbBuffer[1] = 0x09876543;

        CDCDSerialDriver_Write(usbBuffer, DATABUFFERSIZE, 0, 0);

I disabled the cdc_acm driver (blacklist and rmmod).

I am:
uname -a
Linux USSR 2.6.37-02063701-generic #201102181135 SMP Fri Feb 18 12:47:22 UTC
2011 i686 GNU/Linux (I use the 37 kernel because of the sam-ba driver).

dmesg says the following:

I would like to be able to set up some communication with the board, but I'm
a bit out of clues. Google isn't very helpful either. Any links to working
tutorials or own experiences are most welcome. Also, of course, if you've
troubles setting up the toolchain: let me know.

I'm also not entirely sure whether this list is the correct place for my
question.

Best regards,
Bas Jacobs

Subject: problem writing iso image with dvdrecord
Message-ID: <4D6354E3.1070403@rjl.com>

I have ubuntu 10.04.2 (all current updates applied) running on a MAC
mini with a plextor dvd writer and I am unable to write a dvd iso image
with dvdrecord. I am able to boot a vmware virtual machine running
fedora 14 (on top of that same ubuntu 10.04.2 mac mini) and connect the
dvd burner to the virtual machine and sucessfully write the same iso
image with dvdrecord on the same drive. I'm pretty sure this worked
under ubuntu a few months ago and suspect that something broke with one
of the updates. Any ideas?

The error that I get under Ubuntu is as follows:

Is the module on your box?

Have you run "depmod -a"?

(Is 6.06 still being updated by Ubuntu/Canonical?!)

That doesn't look like an official Ubuntu kernel package to me. Dapper
(6.06) ships with 2.6.15 not 2.6.9 of the Linux Kernel.

I'm guessing this is some kind of virtualised hardware on someone
elses box? If so I'd contact them about support for that kernel, it's
not one of ours.

Missed that earlier. Looks like an OpenVZ box so modules cannot be
loaded by guests.

Subject: Problem after resizing partition and installing ubuntu
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=KT4JbSx8uO_c9-rFPRaxwdyqUNqxPz81iv6Le@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my hp dv8 at home.
No grub error for now, but i have other issue concerning windows7.
After resizing windows OS partition and create other for ubuntu,
installation went well. Grub menu is there on reboot and ubuntu will start
if chosen.
However windows will present me with the following:

After clicking on the windows at /dev/sda1 option in the grub menu, it
notified me that i needed to restart to perform the check, and I did as it
said. And then, it gets into the disk check, it either: 1,freezes at 1
second during the count down process, in which no matter how hard i press
any key it won't do anything. I6t will remain there all night as I tested
today morning.

This is what happen if I choose windows at /dev/sda1. if my choice goes to
windows at /dev/sda2 it will say something like:

"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
cause..."
Then im instructed to insert windows installations disks, but im sure that
if i do that I will end with no grub menu as happened here at work.

help :(

Hola a Todos

Tengo un equipo con un disco duro de 80 GB con Windows Xp, tiene dos particiones C:/ con 40 Gb y D:/ 40 Gb   / La verdad no se como hacer para instalar Linux Ubuntu, no se como asignarle el espacio que se requiere para instalarlo, ya que mi miedo es perder la información q se maneja en windows..

Gracias por esa ayuda tan inmesa.

Subject: LibreOffice Installation Question
Message-ID: <AANLkTikZhRd=f9zwf62aEYfVSmb804HFHXkA5f=sEuD+@mail.gmail.com>

I was looking over the installation instructions for LibreOffice on
www.ubuntugeek.com.  The instructions say that you need to remove
Openoffice, along with the command to do that.  But, then it follows
with the statement that removing Openoffice is optional.  I find this
to be somewhat confusing.  Is it necessary or not?

I have Ubuntu 9.10 on this machine and would like to hang on to the
default Openoffice.  If I install LibreOffice, will I run into
problems with shared files?  I recall the recent debate on this issue.
 But, their didn't seem to be a positive final answer on it.  The
ubuntugeek article references the test version, and I would be
installing the 3.3 final.

I just received a PDF file that I really need to process. When I try to 
open it, I get

To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of 
the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from

For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html

I tried to go to the Adobe site and get THEIR pdf reader, but it tells 
me it isn't there.

Does anyone know how tp process this, or do I have to go to a Windows 
machine to handle this?

Thanks in advance

Do you use a browser for reading the PDF?

Otherwise, install "Evince" with "sudo apt-get install evince"
If Evince is already installed, try "evince file.pdf"

Since upgrading to kdeSC4.6, I have been unable to get a wireless connection to any access point. I can detect wireless signals, but attempting to access either password protected or unsecured access points always times out. 


I've tried both kdenetwork manager and wicd. Clearly something must have gotten uninstalled or busted during the upgrade, but I can't imagine what. 


Any help greatly appreciated.

No. Just download the .deb (be sure to also download the help .deb:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
and install per:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/instructions/
  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/
  [Installation of LibreOffice on Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux systems]

That will install LO to your /opt directory and will not interfere with
your existing (U)OOo install.

No. Not if you install per above. (note: you can't install via the PPA
as that PPA only has files for lucid & above. See:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa). I have LO, OOo-dev,
OOo-standard, and (U)OOo (Ubuntu OOo) on this system and have no issues:
$ locate versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev3/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/ure/bin/versionrc

The only thing that I have to do is modify the bootstraprc in
OOo-standard so that it doesn't interfere with the profile folder from
(U)OOo. LO uses /home/<user>/.libreoffice/3 so it doesn't interfere with
OOo or (U)OOo.

> I recall the recent debate on this issue.

There are issues with OOo and LO installed together on Windows systems.
This is because LO hasn't changed their executable file names.

Actually I've found the pre-released 3.3.1RC2 to be quite stable:

On our similar (HP dm4t-1200) laptop, grub calls /dev/sda1 "Windows 7"
and boots from it very nicely.  /dev/sda2 is labeled "Windows Vista
(loader)" and is actually the restore partition for Win7.  You got Win7
install disks with a laptop????

I would first try re-installing grub from Ubuntu.  "sudo
grub-install /dev/sda" followed by "sudo update-grub" will do it.  Maybe
it the partitions are properly identified things will work better.

Have you tried pressing F8 while Windows tries to boot?  This *might*
allow you to boot in "safe mode," doing which often enough fixes things
all by itself or at least will allow chkdsk to run on the changed
partition.

The next thing I would try is pressing ESC during boot.  This should get
you to the diagnostics menu and a system restore option.  I've not tried
this (because we haven't had any trouble with our dual boot), but it
should let you put things back to factory specs so you can start over
with a healthy Win7 at least. I doubt that it will change your partition
layout or do anything to your Ubuntu install other than remove grub from
the boot sector. 

Fixing a boot sector over written by Windows is fairly easy with super
grub disk from here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/.  This saves having
to learn all the ins and outs of the grub command line (which I promise
to do someday if I live long enough). 

You want disk two, the one that lets you boot with grub even if Windows
has done its piggy thing and taken over the boot sector.  Then you just
do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" and "sudo update-grub" and Bob's your
uncle.

Subject: File system for MySQL server on Ubuntu
Message-ID: <AANLkTik1F2jO13i_4oSRciyoDcArhqYNFqm01f3eKV-N@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I wonder which is the best filesystem to use with MySQL (to increase
performances) for huge MySQL server.

I believe that MySQL needs fast creating/deleting files operation during
temporary table creation by example but also needs fast reading when
extracting lots of rows from a big table.

What's your opinion ? Is Reiser the best or may it be ext3, ext4, xfs or
another
FS?

Thank you!

Use MySQL 5.5 and use the InnoDB high performance transactional
datastore. Now that oracle owns MySQL and previously owned InnoDB, they
are now jointly bundled and integrated. Use it. :)

Hi

I have a dedicated P2P of 2Mbps from our office to Data Center. This is
needed since we have issues with the normal internet shared bandwidth.
The need for P2P link is for our Call Center Application which accesses
servers located at our Data Center so that there is no latency or packet
losses.

Please help me understand about setting it up in my environment.

Thanks,

Glad you got it working.

As a side note: it is helpful if you include some portion of the email
(and who) in your reply. That way when others read the post in the
archives they will have some idea as to who & what you were replying to.

Do you know what the server will be doing as a primary role? I ask because
things like temporary tables are somewhat application specific. That being
said, if I were starting from scratch I'd get the fastest drives I could,
investigate raid controllers performance, config your partitions conrectly
(ie turn off atime type settings ), and make sure to have plenty of memory
for table and query caching available, etc. I suspect those things might
make more difference than the filesystem for most use cases.

I personally use ext3, and worry about the other stuff I mentioned above.

Thank u, for your explanation, the primary role of my MySQL Ubuntu Server
will be storage with the big massive of static data.
Would be really important, it's searching. Like for example when you need to
find one specific file from the billions and you need to find this in fast
way.

Actually it's has to be DB storage.

I thought about XFS or EXT4, because ext4 filesystem can support volumes
with sizes up to 1 exabyte and files with sizes up to 16 terabytes.
It's exactly what I need, but I am not sure that I know how to configure
it's right =(

I didn't have Canonical Partners selected, so I didn't see it in the 
repositories. I installed it and the document processes correctly. I'm 
not thrilled that it has to be processed with the Adobe reader, but I 
can certainly live with that for the few times its needed.

Thanks for the help.

1) Please do not top-post to this list.

2) In what way would you need to configure the filesystem other than
by using the defaults?

To make FS much faster for reading then for writing.

I think google is using ext4 now, so its probably safe for the rest of us.

But I honestly think from pure performance standpoint, you will better spend
your time configuring mysql probably, tweaking whatever filesystem you do
use, buying your hardware right for the task at hand, and optimizing your
sql queries.

I'd also suggest finding a mysql specific developers forum, since this is
getting pretty far afield for this list. Not a users forum, but people who
do high end mysql work. Like the guys at facebook :/

Thank u for yours advices,
what I do right now, it's reading man page for ext4, like MR ZenWizYou told.
it's a lot of information there.
Also I'll try to use Hal Burgiss advice about to tweak MySQL.
It's a lot of work there, thank u guys for advices. Now I know where to
look...

I was able to open the document with Adobe Reader 9.4. Even Google
Documents couldn't open that PDF!

I recommend to the OP to complain to whoever supplied him with that
document. The file is PDF 1.6, but obviously contains unusual
extensions.

As it was supplied by the State of Texas, I'm doubting that a complaint 
will do too much good.

It's strange that only Adobe Reader can read this pdf file.
This PDF have DRM or others protects?

My Spanish is very rudimentary, but I believe you wish to install Ubuntu 
on the second partition of your hard drive.  To do that, you should
move all your Windows files off of the D:\ drive.  Then use GParted* to 
set up Linux partitions on this portion of your drive. Make 2 ext4
partitions of 14 and 24 GB and format them, and make one swap partition 
of 2 GB. Then the Ubuntu setup should go easily.

* A bootable download of GParted is available.

If there is a Spanish email list for Ubuntu, you should use that.

Hope that helps--doug

It's just a theory but maybe the PDF document has some kind of malware 
in it?  I have heard that there are some serious security flaws in the 
PDF format itself.

If it was from the state of Texas, chances are even the text is malware....

No, seriously, I get statements from Verizon Wireless that cannot be
opened other than in AR 9+, and in order to print pages from it I have
to use Windows because the Linux AR can't or won't do it at all.  At
least, that's how it was the last time I actually needed to print
something from them.

Thank u for yours advices,
what I do right now, it's reading man page for ext4, like MR ZenWizYou told.
it's a lot of information there.
Also I'll try to use Hal Burgiss advice about to tweak MySQL.
It's a lot of work there, thank u guys for advices. Now I know where to
look...

I was able to open the document with Adobe Reader 9.4. Even Google
Documents couldn't open that PDF!

I recommend to the OP to complain to whoever supplied him with that
document. The file is PDF 1.6, but obviously contains unusual
extensions.

As it was supplied by the State of Texas, I'm doubting that a complaint
will do too much good.

It's strange that only Adobe Reader can read this pdf file.
This PDF have DRM or others protects?

My Spanish is very rudimentary, but I believe you wish to install Ubuntu
on the second partition of your hard drive.  To do that, you should
move all your Windows files off of the D:\ drive.  Then use GParted* to
set up Linux partitions on this portion of your drive. Make 2 ext4
partitions of 14 and 24 GB and format them, and make one swap partition
of 2 GB. Then the Ubuntu setup should go easily.

* A bootable download of GParted is available.

If there is a Spanish email list for Ubuntu, you should use that.

Hope that helps--doug

It's just a theory but maybe the PDF document has some kind of malware
in it?  I have heard that there are some serious security flaws in the
PDF format itself.

This might only work in Natty:

Append "vt.handoff=12" to either GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in "/etc/default/grub" and run update-grub.

I'm using Gparted (G.U.I.) on a 10.10 GNOME O.S.  I'm attempting to format a
part of an unformatted partition (3 of 4) as a swap.  I want to do this
because I want to enlarge the first partition, which is where the O.S. is
located.  As I understand it, a formatted partition must be located next to
an unformatted partition in order to expand into it.  Because the second
partition partition is a swap, I am attempting to format a part of the
unformatted third partition as a swap so that I can unformat the second
partition and then expand the first (O.S.) partition into it.  If my
information/understanding is incorrect, then where can I find information on
how partitions work?

This used to be a high volume list. Few messages the last couple of

Did I miss the memo?

Heard about the tonido-plug at floss-weekly and got interested in getting
one.
Have anyone of you had any experience of the TonidoPlug.
I'm asking here since I read it is running on top of embedded Ubuntu Jaunty
Linux.

Happy for thoughts/ideas.

I was asleep and missed it. But, we have the Internet to ourselves as
someone left it on. I'm gonna go check to see if they left the NSA
unlocked. That should be fun, I'd like to find what they have on me and
Paris Hilton.  :)  Ric

Because it was sent from a not-so-smart phone? And what was the question 
anyway? I couldn't find it - maybe it was hidden somewhere in the quoted 
text and I overlooked it?

Dear all,

is there a way to see the last 10 modified files on my computer ? I'll tell
you why I need this. I was reading a book and noting my queries in a txt
file. Now I dont recall the name of that file and my computer shut down cos
the battery died on it and I wish to locate this file. I did not find this
file in the Recent documents as it's entry was overwritten by other files
which were opened by me.

Many thanks,
Ashim.

Have a look at the man page for find(1).  That will at least let you
find everything named *.txt that was saved in a certain time interval.

You might also try a pipeline, joining commands with | symbol so
the output of one becomes input to the the next. ls -lR should
give a long list (R is recursive, l is long) of all your files, pipe that
to sort(1) with the right options (need a man page again) to sort by
access time, then tail(1) to get only most recent files.

find ~ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -ltr | tail -10

   (might last a long time and it might not work if you have too many
  files)

Subject: bringing two applications in same URL
Message-ID: <AANLkTikXpMHpXxonCJaCKo0_9qTV16HDqAPL=h5Js9Ru@mail.gmail.com>

I basically have 2 applications
http://sakai.openitup.in
http://olat.openitup.in

The working configuration of apache vhost for sakai.openitup.in

<VirtualHost *:80 >

ServerName sakai.openitup.in
ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.14:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.14:8009/

</VirtualHost>
and for olat another apache2 vhost (working configuration)


<VirtualHost *:80 >

ServerName olat.openitup.in
ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.15:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.15:8009/

</VirtualHost>
then things work.

But if I want both sakai and olat to be accessible at
research.openitup.in/sakai and
research.openitup.in/olat for this I modified the virtual host
definition of research.openitup.in as follows


<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerName research.openitup.in

ProxyPass /sakai ajp://192.168.1.14:8009/
ProxyPassReverse /sakai ajp://192.168.1.14:8009/

ProxyPass /olat ajp://192.168.1.15:8009/
ProxyPassReverse /olat ajp://192.168.1.15:8009/


ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.14
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.14
</VirtualHost>
then
http://research.openitup.in/sakai
http://research.openitup.in/olat
are not accessible.

If you notice I have forwarded root of research.openitup.in to an internal
machine.Which is where it actually is so ProxyPass / for
research.openitup.in is needed.

In this situation what can be a possible solution for me so that I can access
http://research.openitup.in/sakai
and not http://sakai.openitup.in and same for olat
http://research.openitup.in/olat
and not http://olat.openitup.in


All this is done on a Ubuntu 10.04 .
Let me know if any one has any suggestions for this situation.

@Loic and Sandy. I appreciate the technical answers but I feel that we
should also be promoting the facilities in the UI.  CLI answers don't
give the impression of an easy to use OS that can replace Windows.

Then complain. Often large companies care that you can read their
propaganda and bills, in fact it may be law where you live.

I'll put it another way: if you _don't_ complain then it will only get
worse. We have all heard of vendor lock in here.

    This mailing list is "Ubuntu user technical support...". Moreover I
  can only give the answers I know: I really don't know how to look
  for the 10 newer files in a GUI (GUIs are usually limited to a single
  directory and I'm an old timer that types a lot faster than he clicks).
  In the end, I'm not trying to "give the impression of an easy to use

Furthermore, it could've been an X-less install (although in this
case, you'd have to assume that it isn't because of the "battery
died").

I would stand corrected, but it is my understanding that this is the
only mailing list for user support and we can make no assumptions about
the level of technical expertise of the user except the clues given in
the question.  So I will always start with the standard GUI tools if
there is no indications to the contrary. 

In particular, it seems that the Ubuntu Software Centre is almost
completely ignored on this list, which is a shame as some much effort
has gone into it.  It even provides the answer sometimes - see the
thread on Can't read PDF.

Crunchiness is the gustatory sensation of muffled grinding of a
foodstuff. Crunchiness differs from crispiness in that a crispy item
is quickly atomized, while a crunchy one offers sustained, granular
resistance to jaw action. While crispiness is difficult to maintain,
crunchiness is difficult to overcome.

No-one will complain about you providing a solution using the GUI.
The more alternative solutions the better.  The problem is that you
complained about others providing CLI solutions rather than just
providing your alternative.

Subject: could not cleanly remove a package
Message-ID: <AANLkTimUrYXeyfmz47FqWios5qL7DBds-C_Y+Ad8x-_y@mail.gmail.com>

I was playing with AOLserver and OpenACS on one of my machines.
When things went wrong I decided to remove openacs which was installed via

aptitude install openacs

so I did aptitude remove openacs
to be sure I also did
aptitude purge openacs

then I reboot the machine and again start the installation
aptitude install openacs
I find some where the openacs picked up an old entry due to which when
I opened in a browser

http://localhost:8000

I could not proceed and got the error due to which I had removed it.
The question is how to cleanly remove it and start as if I am doing on
a fresh Ubuntu install.
Because that will surely work (I have tested on some other machine)

There is no such thing, sorry. But have a look at Evolution, it may
suit your needs.

Subject: How to install USB Dongle in Ubuntu 6.06
Message-ID: <1298561647.10103.9.camel@daddy-laptop>

I have recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 to my laptop (since it is the only
version that will work with this laptop).  However, I am having trouble
installing my USB Dongle.  The driver of my dongle is a
moduleDB31.TAR.GZ.  I must admit, I am not the programming type nor do i
claim to know anything about coding, much less knowing how to install
using the command line.  If anyone can please help me to understand this
as well as to be able to install my dongle will be a lifesaver.  

Thanks a lot.

BTW, the driver came with a Readme file and I can't make heads or tails
with this, hope you can help me ...  as follows;

--------------
Release Date: 2006-01-24, ver 1.1
RTL8187 Linux driver version 1.1

--This driver supports RealTek RTL8187 Wireless LAN driver for Linux
Debian3.1 kernel 2.6.13

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Files description.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Include ko files
        module_DB31.tar.gz

2. Script to load/unload modules
	./load
	./unload 

3. Supplicant source code:
	./wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz

4. Example of supplicant configuration file:
	./wpa1.conf

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Insert modules.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Insert modules:
	
	insmod ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko
	insmod ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko
	insmod ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko
	insmod ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko
	insmod ieee80211-rtl.ko	
	insmod r8187.ko


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Remove modules.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Remove related modules:
	rmmod r8187.ko
	rmmod ieee80211-rtl.ko
	rmmod ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko
	rmmod ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko
	rmmod ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko
	rmmod ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko



//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Enable the device.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make sure RTL8187 dongle is plugged.

2. Enalbe the device:
	ifconfig wlan0 up



//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Disable the device.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Disable the device:
	ifconfig wlan0 down



//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Join a BSS and set up IP address.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Scan BSS available:
	iwlist wlan0 scan

2. Join a BSS:
	iwconfig wlan0 essid SSID_TO_JOIN

3. Set up IP address of the device: 
	ifconfig wlan0 IP_ADDRESS



//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// WPA supplicant
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unpack source code of WPA supplicant:
	tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz
	cd wpa_supplicant-0.3.8

2. Create .config file:
	cp defconfig .config

3. Edit .config file, uncomment the following line:
	#CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y.

4. Build WPA supplicant:
	make

5. Edit wpa_supplicant.conf to set up SSID and its passphrase.
For example, the following setting in "wpa1.conf" means SSID to join is
"BufAG54_Ch6" 
and its passphrase is "87654321".

	network={
		ssid="BufAG54_Ch6"
		proto=WPA
		key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
		pairwise=CCMP TKIP
		group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
		psk="87654321"
		priority=2
	}

6. Execute WPA supplicant (Assume 8187 and related modules had been
loaded):
	./wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 &

Tried it in mint 10, no go.

I'll try full desktop maverick when it finishes downloading.

I don't know whose bright idea it was to lock gdm down onto vt7 but it is
seriously annoying me how hard it is proving to change it.  I'd swear it was
hard coded.

Sorry.

Perhaps the reason the list is quiet is because everyone has fixed
their issues and there is nothing broken in Ubuntu?

No, perhaps not.

If the live CD will not boot on your PC then you should submit a bug
report (assuming there is not already an appropriate bug there).  I
guess you will probably then have to wait for the next release.

Hi,

Ubuntu 6.06 is not actually supported. Do you try 10.04.2?

You can install Maverick, boot into text mode, update it fully, change
the occurences of maverick in sources.list to natty (in vi: ":%
s/maverick/natty/g"), and update your system (do an upgrade before a
dist-upgrade).

(You should probably report the bad CD on launchpad, although, if it's
a daily cd, it might just be today's bad iso and tomorrow's will be
fixed).

That's fine and that's your choice but you shouldn't criticize anyone
for posting a CLI solution.

It must be hard-coded hence the "vt.handoff" value in Natty.

In Fedora, it was (and might still be) hard-coded to vt1 and there was
talk (but I don't know whether it was implemented) to allow users to
over-ride it with "FORCEACTIVEVT=no" in "/etc/sysconfig/desktop".

You could try installing natty's plymouth but it might pull a few
other packages from natty and it might be too early in the development
process to be relying on natty packages on a non-test box.

Depends how you define "support". 6.06 desktop packages will not get
bug fixes or security updates, but the packages are still in the repo,
so can be installed. Server packages (like apache) will. In terms of
whether we as a community support 6.06 in terms of helping people use
it, of course we can/do, but there's no guarantees.

Ubuntu Server 6.06 is supported until April 2011.

 Yes,

 Ubuntu 6.06's support has ended in June 2009 for desktops and will end 
 June 2011 for servers.

A good way to get pre-release versions is to use Zsync and make
differential downloads.

After several crashes with the Live CD (VMWare), I recently managed to
reinstall Natty (VirtualBox) using the alternate installer.

(If you intend to test Unity, a Virtual install will not do)

The recommended version upgrade method is to use update-manager, a simple
'sudo update-manager -d' should suffice, the -d is for devel. If that does
not work follow the instructions here, just don't forget the -d:

I'm not sure about this, but some years ago we had Lotus s/w on the 
network,
where I worked which would do what you want.  It's not free, AFAIK, but this
  seems to be a business ap, so it shouldn't hurt to pay for it.

I'll take your word for it. I was just transcribing it from my sound 
memory of the movie, not from text. And, incidentally, I much prefer the 
original story, "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates.

RT8187(B,L) cards are supported in the kernel now, it might be best for you
to solve the problem of running a newer version of Ubuntu rather than trying
to get tarball modules to work. Why is it that only 6.06 works?

Hi,

Do you try this? http://gitorious.org/lightning-exchange-provider/pages/Home
It's a plugin to use Exchange with Lightning addon for Thunderbird.

Best regards.

Hi,

Please post the readme of the driver of your dongle.
Otherwise, you can use "ndiswrapper" to install your dongle with Windows driver.

You should be able to designate the unformatted partition (or some
fraction of it) as swap, remove the swap designation of the existing
swap partition, set that (tell gparted to execute that change, which
might require a reboot), then re-run gparted to expand your system
partition into the old swap area.

There shouldn't be any actual reformatting required - swap is just
open disk space that belongs to the OS.

People will respond with whatever their experience (and hopefully
expertise) encompasses.  If you don't see GUI solutions, perhaps it's
because those who chose to respond don't use it/them.

It also depends on the questions....

I am perplexed as to why it needs to be hard coded.

It's probably a developer level question but last I heard the X server
accepted a vt argument that specifies which terminal to open for the
desktop.

Come to think of it, why is it hard coded?  (devs welcome)

And on this note, halelujah that I can change it at boot.

However, I would also like an option to specify it at runtime.  For example,
if I have to shut down and drop out of runlevel 5 for a moment, or I have to
shut down the display server for any other reason.

Can you check what version of kernel you are running? This driver
requires 2.6.13, Dapper shipped with a 2.4 kernel I believe. I'm not
sure if it was even updated to 2.6.

You can check the version by running 'uname -r' (minus single quotes) on
the command line, it may also say when you boot the system.

No, Ubuntu 6.06 shipped with a 2.6.15 kernel. This driver must work with this Kernel.

Ah you're right, I was looking at the kernel-image package (stuck at
2.4.27), not linux-image which is 2.6.15.


To the OP, you should only need to do the first step in the README,
which is to extract module_DB31.tar.gz, enter the resulting 'module'
directory and run 'sudo ./load'

This will load the modules into the kernel and bring up the interface.
After that you should be able to configure it as with any normal
networking device. Neither of the driver versions distributed in that
package (IE: the debian or the "linux" build) appear to actually install
the drivers, they just load them, therefore you're stuck re-loading them
after a reboot. That is unless someone wiser can describe how to load
them into the kernel modules tree and update modules.conf and
modules.dep, which I cannot.

The rest of the instructions are to build and configure wpa_supplicant,
which should already be in Ubuntu.

But then anything is buggy on a buggy OS!   And the answer to the OP's 
question is that ANYTHING is better than Outlook.

I use Verizon Wireless and I just click on the print-copy button on
their page, and choose print-to-file. Then I just print that file out on
my printer. That's how I've done it for some time. But maybe they
"improved" things? Ric

Evolution is touted as the "Exchange Killer". It does all of the above
and is what I use. Ric

All of the calendaring / memo feature works a treat with Evolution and
Google Group, if that is what you're using it with. That I am familiar
with. Set up is dead easy. Ric

I was downloading their PDF instead of printing it to a file -

My script has finally worked.
For some weired reason the script was not working after reboot and it
turns out that this Tomcat was not able to pick JAVA_HOME from .bashrc
at the boot time.So when I defined JAVA_HOME in the above script also
then it did worked.
I do not know why Tomcat could not pick it from .bashrc at boot time
because once the thing completely booted then
/etc/init.d/tapas-script start
was working but to make sure it survives reboots I had to add
JAVA_HOME in this script also (though it was defined in .bashrc)

Very true. I completely forgot about it because I don't use it.

But I have two comments.

1. Please don't use "-d", use "--devel-release" so that future
googlers don't think (as we've seen here in the past) that "-d" is
necessary for an upgrade to a non-development release.

2. If you're comfortable at the CLI, log out of GDM/KDM/... or boot
into single-user mode and use update-manager's CLI equivalent,
do-release-upgrade.

Subject: /etc/fstab refuses to accept "&" (ampersand)
Message-ID: <DE01765D45B142008723093E831D53A7@alpin.local>

Hi,

I have a samba/cifs share that contains a special character (namely "&") and
fstab refuses to accept such a line even with multiple approaches to escape
it.

So here's what I've tried to accomplish so far (all examples below would be
invalid lines for /etc/fstab):

Plain ampersand doesn't work:
---quote1
//host/special&char/mp /mnt/mp/ cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/cred-file,uid=nobody,gid=somebody,file_mode=066,dir_m
od e=077 0 0
---quote1

First attempt was to escape it with a backslash:
---quote2
//host/special\&char/mp /mnt/mp/ cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/cred-file,uid=nobody,gid=somebody,file_mode=066,dir_m
od e=077 0 0
---quote2

On a second thought I escaped it with the ASCII equivalent octal number:
---quote3
//host/special\046char/mp /mnt/mp/ cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/cred-file,uid=nobody,gid=somebody,file_mode=066,dir_m
od e=077 0 0
---quote3

As third attempt I tried to escape the whole uri with either " or ':
---quote4
"//host/special\046char/mp" /mnt/mp/ cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/cred-file,uid=nobody,gid=somebody,file_mode=066,dir_m
od e=077 0 0
---quote4

All examples above fail too for the mount type "sambafs" (i.e.
's/cifs/sambafs/g').

Is it a bug? Is it a feature? I know there is a workaround using autofs, but
as far as I can tell, it should also work with fstab.

Help / discuss!

Greetings,
D.

Problem solved.

All worked out fine once I used the octal ascii representation *_for all_*
special characters.

SPACE = \040
AMPERSAND = \046

See http://www.asciitable.com/ for a complete list.

I'm not familiar with samba/cifs but if the '&' is allowed in directory 
names, it is certainly a samba/cifs bug because fstab works with '&' and 
nfs without any escape sequence.

Which user's .bashrc did you put JAVA_HOME in?

  so let me ask a different question in exactly the same way -- any
issues with "upgrading" to perl 5.12 on a running ubuntu 10.10 system?
this isn't a massively high priority, and i can always just install it
additionally under /usr/local or something, but it would be easier to
just replace 5.10 if it didn't cause any annoying breakage.

Message-ID: <4D6792E8.8000802@internode.on.net>

Hi all,
could someone tell me where downloading flash files are cached
until fully downloaded.

Prior to my updating  10.04 3 days ago, I used to be able to copy them 
from /temp
but now nothing is going there.
Many thanks in advance
Take care

Winton

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but, I've been watching
movies from youtube using mplayer from /tmp. I could see them by listing
files with names beginning with Flash. Now it's a bit more tricky, but
still possible. If you're using firefox you have to (in terminal) type:

ps aux | grep flash

after this command you should see something like:

1000      3593  8.1  3.5 734044 104772 ?       Sl   10:17
12:21 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/plugin-container /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so 2510 plugin true

Second number in this line is a proc id. You then type

cd /proc/{proc_id_from_second_collumn}/fd

Now you're in directory which list every file still opened by this
process. Typing:

ls -lah

will show you file descriptor numbers which link to files on hdd (or
pipes, etc. but it's not important now). If you look closely, you will
see something like:

18 -> /tmp/FlashXXyyyyyzzzzz (deleted)

The "(deleted)" part really means this file is deleted, but it resides
in memory as long as any process has opened file descriptor, which gives
you a possibility to access it as long as you have firefox opened. You
can now copy it, open it, or do whatever you want to do with it. I
usually type:

mplayer ./18

and enjoy high quality movie playing smoothly in contrast to youtube's
player:).

In case of other browser like epiphany, chrome, liferea or any other
browser you might not find any process when you grep flash. If you
encounter such thing, you just have to grep browser's name, and
hopefully it will work as well.

Actually, it wasn't Spanish, I think it was Portuguese. Either way, spam
messages are not welcomed on this list.

Is root 'logged in' at the time in the boot operation where the script
is run, in other words is root's .bashrc available at that time, or is
it just that everything is run with root's permissions at that time?

Why is Ubuntu 6.06 the only version that will work on your laptop?
What are the hardware specs of your laptop?
What other versions have you tried?
Which problems did you encounter?

I ask this because a more recent version of Ubuntu might support your usb
dongle out of the box. Maybe if we can help you to install Ubuntu 10.04 or
10.10?

What laptop model is it?

For what it's worth, I have an elderly IBM Thinkpad i1200-series (an
1163 actually made by Acer) which will only boot and run 6.06 without
tweaks. However, it actually runs modern versions of Ubuntu fine if I
add the

acpi=force

... kernel boot parameter. This is one that is not well-documented -
most help docs suggest you do

acpi=off

... which actually prevents this machine from working.

I am running Crunchbang 9.04 (=Ubuntu 9.04) and Lubuntu 10.10 on this
machine, dual-booting, and both are fine. Other tweaks are necessary
for good performance but it generally works well.

By other tweaks, I mean things like a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
to force it to 1024*768, plus a line to drop it from 24-bit colour to
the dramatically faster 16-bit.  I've documented this here:

You didn't mention what browser you use. I use Opera and I can find them  
at ~/.opera/cache/something.
They are named oprSOMETHING.tmp and sometimes they are removed after  
playing, so you need to copy them somewhere when they stopped growing.  
Tried that today, and it worked perfectly. Then rename them to  
something.flv, if you like.

Note: Whenever I wrote ”something” as a part of a path or file name, this  
is supposed to be replaced by something else, that is different every  
time. The easiest way to find the current file is probably to sort the  
contents of a folder by date. The most recent file is of course the one  
you want.

I clicked on the webpage for "printer friendly version", and choose to
"save to file" when the download box opened. Later, I printed it off
from the saved file. I hope that makes sense. I had to go back to
retrace my steps on Verizon. Ain't much simple anymore. :) Ric

Portugal's Portuguese it was, also spam. And as this should be

I have been "forced" to use Outlook at more than one job, and I have
not found it to be significantly worse than other such apps, like
Evolution.  Often as not, Outlook does quite well (as long as you have
decent virus protection).

There are a number of little things I can't get to work right in
Evolution that work just fine in Outlook, like calendar
invitation/receipt handling, reminders scheduling, etc. (I haven't
really tried all that hard to do these in Evo....)

Did you export JAVA_HOME?

What .bashrc is this in?  If it is tied to a specific user account,
that might not work - you may need to edit one of the global bashrc
files (/etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bashrc, depending on which one you
have).

Just do a search, there are plenty of How-To's out there for setting up
Evolution for Calendar, etc., functions. If you haven't tried that hard,
it won't work at all. While I'm sure that OutLook performs adequately,
this is the place to look for Open Source solutions, eh? 

I can attest that Evolution does the job, quite nicely, and the price is
righteous. ) Ric

Yeah, I just noted that change as of last week. Was it the Firefox
updates that came on just about every day for several days? Pity. Some
poor joker using dial-up is just about ignored nowadays, as they don't
fit the bill with certain marketing demographics, I would guess. My
Satellite isn't much better, no matter what the TV ads state. It's about
4X dialup speed. 

Thank you, Ka eR, for a good resolution, Ric

For SeaMonkey 2.0.x:
/home/<username>/.mozilla/seamonkey/<profilename>/Cache
When you view in Nautilus you can easily identify the flash video. Video
remains until you clear your cache. Also found something interesting;
started a youtube video, then paused it. The entire video kept
downloading even though it wasn't being played. You can then copy the
file to some other folder to safe. Only problem is is you use SeaMonkey
2.1bx: That version (plus Firefox 4) uses 16 folders for cache rather
than a single cache file, so you need to search a little harder.

(Back to the trash can to retrieve the original post one more time...
Goh is just pulling my leg... Should I reply again to this unreplyable
OT posting?)

Goh,

Although "UNYK Inc., 1010 de Serigny, bureau 820, Longueuil, QC, J4K
5G7, Canada", is indeed Canadian, still undecided whether to speak
English, French or Innuit, other languages already discarded, the
link: http : // unyk.com/pt clearly suggests a Portuguese written
site, but not Portuguese from Macao, Angola, East Timor or even
Brazil, it is Portuguese from the mother (?) land (since they left
their wifes behind before crossing the oceans it would rather be the
father land).

Although the language in these places share a lot of common words and
the name, the actual meaning of the words may differ a lot as well as
the way people actually think. For instance, a Brazilian would say
that only a Portuguese would do such a dumb thing like spamming all
his contacts AND the list with this kind of thing. A Portuguese, on
the other hand, would say just the opposite, he would blame his less
keen Brazilian cousins... But then I'm not a Portuguese, and although
I do not believe a ship is coming to rescue all the faithfull
Christians, leaving behind all their clothes and the rest of us, poor
infidels, sometimes I think that such an escape from this crazy world
would be welcomed, Providing I can keep my lack of faith and my
clothes on.

About replying to this kind of thing or trying to reach the OP, as we
all know, is useless, only wastes bandwitdh and storage space.

Cheers,

Lucio

Depends on the version of Minecraft. There is a minecraft "classic"
which I believe is free.

Minecraft isn't "Free Software" though.

The beta version is closed-source pay-ware which comes as a server and client.

Lots more info on their wiki.

thanks.  i do have one of those PSU testers, but it isn't Antec brand.
i will test it out.

the system froze up again, so i removed the proprietary video drivers
and put back in the free drivers.

i ran memtest for a few hours and let it go through a whole pass, there
we no errors.

i've got 'watch -n 10 free' running in a screen so we'll see what that
shows next time the system freezes.

i've looked into stresslinux livecd but that isn't feasible right now
since this is our security camera recording station and it needs to be
running as much as possible.  i will try out the 'stress' package,
though, and see if the system freezes under a high load.

Lucio, yes, just pulling your leg.....

I misspelt Christao as Christang, I spelt it as it is pronounced. It is a  
16th century Portuguese dialect still spoken outside Portugal from the  
remnants of their colonies, like in Timor, Macao and Malacca, see  
http://thedudetravels.blogspot.com/2008/12/melaka-malacca-malakka-alien-invasion.html  
for example. and nothing to do with Christianity or Christians.

And the mothership was a reference to a recent inane frivolous Klingon  
thread on this mailing list and not intended to infer the "end times" or  
"Armageddon" as believed by some.

It is unfortunate that misunderstandings can happen in an cultural diverse  
list but I must say your response has been impeccable despite the  
unintended perceptions.

Wish you the best and take care - Goh Lip

Many thanks all,

Using Firefox, found them in 
/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/8jafn4gd3.default/Cache
When paused they keep coming, have found the only way to stop them is to 
close the site
or open another video.

As was stated dialup users are really getting squeezed out now. Had 
satellite, now living in luxury
with 3g mobile.

Thanks again all.
Take care

Goh,

Even though you were right, "Portugal's Portuguese" seems definitely
redundant, I had to explain there were reasons for it (besides the
natural rivalries towards the descendants of the colonial people and
my own evil willingness to pull Mr. Emilio Fernandes' leg).

Thanks for the link. Didn't know this reference to Cristão as a
dialect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristang_language). It indeed
means "Christian" in Portuguese, an obvious reference to the foreign
people that brought this language in. More info at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese-based_creole_languages

Anyway I wasn't thinking about this when I wrote but the same referred
"Klingon" thread. After intense googling for many days and even
hesitantly binging, I could find no reference to any soon to come
mother ship to rescue us, faithful linuxers, other than those expected
by some of the "Rapture" guys (no offense please, religious fellows, I
was once baptized Christian, full course, oil, water and salt and the
Vatican has not excommunicated me. Yet.) thus the text, just couldn't
keep my big mouth conveniently shut.

It is really dangerous to keep a decent amount of irony while writing
in a foreign language, isn't it? But we can't help but trying.  :-)

Cheers,

Lucio

Emilio first posted on this list in 2008 and has made a few posts in

i was able to get up to 'stress -m 32' to work fine (i let it run about
about a minute).  the system load was up past 26 but still responding
fine.  when i tried 'stress -m 33', the system froze immediately.

so, again, not sure what this is telling me... just that if the system
runs out of RAM then it will freeze?  don't all systems do that?
couldn't i have made the system freeze with other commands?

i think i will leave this 'watch -n 10 free' open and see what it looks
like next time the system freezes.  maybe the system really is running
out of memory.

it also turns out that zoneminder was running on a system with much less
resources than the current one, without any problems.  we did transfer
the zoneminder installation over to the current system by
copying/pasting the recorded events and exporting/importing the
zoneminder database.

How do you decide when system is booting then whether
/etc/rc5.d/S20tapas-tomcat will execute first or
/etc/bash.bashrc will come first in boot sequence so that JAVA_HOME or
any other variable comes first.

Hi,

I would like to allow a user to login through SSH but with different
permission coming from different ipaddress.

For example, a user "tester" login to SSH through 192.168.1.1 and
another user login with the same login id "tester" but from different
ip 192.168.1.2.

How do I restrict 192.168.1.2 to only allow for viewing the content in
the home directory while giving 192.168.1.1 full access?


I got a suggestion from some one

Approach 1)
 Based on the ip you change the shell. If it's just for read only a
jail would be fine.

but how do I change shell based on IP?

Approach 2)

 to have two ssh instances. Let's say port 22 and port 24. Port 22 is
for read only, while port 24 is for full access

so how can it be possible to give port 22 only read only access to SSH

I think you are on the wrong thrack. If you execute your 
/etc/bash.bashrc script, the environment variables set by that script 
will not be used by other startup scripts because those other scripts 
are new independent jobs. If you want specific environment variables set 
in a specific script, you should set them in that very script.

Then you refer to /etc/rc5.d/S20tapas-tomcat. Are you sure it will ever 
be used? The default runlevel for Ubuntu is 2, not 5. It would only work 
if you have a special setup which uses runlevel 5.

I think you want to read "/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.runlevels.gz".

Sorry to sound unhelpful, but can't you just make a seperate 
user-account for each IP address, and then set the proper 
file-permissions to do what you desire? I don't really understand what 
your goal is, but as far as I can tell from the information given, 
setting proper permissions and making seperate accounts for each IP 
would work.

I read the doc you mentioned
and excerpts from above doc

"3. Switching runlevels.

   When one switches from (for example) runlevel 2 to runlevel 3,
   /etc/init.d/rc will first execute in alphabetical order a"

So I read /etc/init.d/rc

and I see only following being set there

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH

I thin up to here I understood correctly.
But here in this script
/etc/init.d/rc which is invovked when system moves from run level 2
(Default in Ubuntu as you said)
to run level 5 I do not see any where /etc/bash.basrc into picture and
the only thing set if I understood here correctly is
PATH and no other variable.
So how does it happen that when I a user logs in to run level 5 he is
able to get the environment variables in
/etc/bash.bashrc (if you leave my question for some time of my tomcat
script which is working)
I want to know in general how it happens that the variables defined in
$HOME/.basrch
or /etc/bash.bashrc gets initialized
1) at which run level and
2) what script (if some one can point) invokes them.

I am compiling xen from source and each time I do a make world
it basically gives some or the other error
my problem are not those errors ( I am trying to debug them)
but the problem is each time when I do a make world

Xen basically pulls things from git repository

   + rm -rf linux-2.6-pvops.git linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp
   + mkdir linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp
   + rmdir linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp
   + git clone -o xen -n

and if you notice the last line it is still consuming my bandwidth
pulling things from internet.How can I stop this step each time and
use existing git repository?

Yes, I think so. But you didn't mention how you switch to runlevel 5. Is 
it done from one of your init scripts or is it done manually?

/etc/bash.bashrc has nothing to do with init scripts. The first line of 
that file is this:

# System-wide .bashrc file for interactive bash(1) shells.

It is _only_ used for interactive shells but those init scripts are not 
interactive login sessions. An interactive shell is what you get when 
you enter your login and password at a terminal. 

> So how does it happen that when I a user logs in to run level 5 he is

What do you mean with "when I a user logs in to run level 5"? Again, you 
didn't mention how you switch to runlevel 5. Unless you do that manually 
or by one of your init scripts, that never happens automatically on a 
Debian or Debian derived system like Ubuntu.

1) It has nothing to do with runlevels (see above).
2) It is included by /etc/profile but only for interactive shells. 

Anyway, talking about bashrc is only misleading when you want to run 
daemons which are invoked by init scripts because there is no 
interactive shell involved. And as I understand this thread, that is 
what you want to do. If you really want to include /etc/bash.bashrc in 
your init script you can do it with a line

. /etc/bash.bashrc

somewhere in your script before you need the variables set by 
/etc/bash.bashrc. However I'd rather copy the needed lines from that 
file to your init script.

Subject: GRUB 2
Message-ID: <COL120-W16DCC9F86F345E9491B0B39DDC0@phx.gbl>


hello



I am writing to you with apologies for not properly master your language or English.



CONCERNS: G R U B 2

Location: 2 OS on 2 hard drives. one XP (because linux is not all unfortunately) and Ubuntu 10.10.



The machine in question is a server with 98% of the time will access remotely.



Some software were writing specifically for Win. So I need XP to run them. This involves launching XP dual-boot.



I must be able to boot from Grub so indifferent XP or Ubuntu.



Virtualization is impossible so it is not possible to envisage a solution of XP in Ubuntu.



PROBLEM:

If grub is accessible from Linux, it is not from Windows.



I considered the solution colinux but I do not control and it seems that colinux (andLinux) is abandoned since 2009. Yet it was the most brilliant.



Therefore I start GRUB for XP but I tell him: all 3 starts, you start only in XP. The rest of the time you throw Ubuntu.



Why this solution?

1 because I have not found anything better (:-))

2 by the WOL I start the machine and I can require restart until I'm on the right operating system.

That's all you know.

Thank you for your help. Hope to see you read.

TRANSLATE FROM :
bonjour

je m'adresse  à vous en m'excusant de ne pas maitriser correctement votre langue ou la langue anglaise.

CONCERNE : G R U B 2
Situation : 2 Os sur 2 disques durs. l'un XP ( car linux ne fait pas tout hélas) et Ubuntu 10.10.

La machine concernée est un serveur dont 98% du temps l'accès se fera à distance.

Certains logiciels ont été spécifiquement écris pour Win. J'ai donc besoin de Xp pour les faire tourner. Ce qui implique de lancer Xp en dual-boot.

Je dois donc pouvoir lancer à partir de Grub de manière indifférente XP ou Ubuntu.

La virtualisation est impossible donc il n'est pas possible d'envisager une solution de Xp dans Ubuntu.

PROBLEMATIQUE :
Si grub est accessible à partir de linux, il ne l'est pas à partir de windows.

J'ai envisagé la solution colinux mais je ne la maîtrise pas et il semble que colinux (AndLinux) soit abandonné depuis 2009. Pourtant c'était la solution la plus géniale.

Il faut donc que je lance GRUB pour XP mais aussi que je lui dise : tous les 3 démarrages, tu démarres uniquement en XP. Le reste du temps tu lances Ubuntu.

Pourquoi cette solution ?
1 parce que je n'ai rien trouvé de mieux ( :-) )
2 par le WOl je démarre la machine et je peux exiger le redémarrage jusqu'à ce que je sois sur le bon système d'exploitation.
Voilà vous savez tout.
Merci de votre aide. 
Au plaisir de vous relire.

I can see the need for what the OP is trying to do. For my work, I can 
log in to a certain website, but my permissions are (and need to be) 
different for on-site and off-site IP's. Sadly, I don't know enough about 
the issue to provide a solution.

     Not possible with SSH.  SSH is about providing access, nothing more.

proposition. For what you want, a custom post script at login would be a
possibility. I'm not sure that you could set file perms based solely on an
IP, though.

No not manually I am referring to bootstrapping.When you switch the
power button on and from there the
Ubuntu boot sequence takes over after after the kernel initialized and
passes on the control to init 5.So
that the user gets gnome screen.I am not doing any thing manually just
referring to daemons.

Ok.So you mean to say these variables in /etc/bash.bashrc come only to
picture when
daemons have started all (your boot sequence finished) and you got a
console to login and not when the daemons are starting  at boot time.

But then you have changed the setup somewhere. Ubuntu goes to runlevel 2 
to start GDM. OTOH, runlevels 2 to 5 are the same, so you would get GDM 
with runlevel 5 as well but runlevel 5 isn't used normally.

Yes, correct. The daemons are started by the scripts in /etc/init.d 
invoked by the upstart init process without any login shell. And as the 
file /etc/bash.bashrc is only for login shells the startup scripts don't 
use it and can't see any environment variables you put into that file. I 
can't help you with your tomcat script but maybe someone lese knows 
where $JAVA_HOME is usually set for tomcat. At least I wouldn't expect 
it to come from /etc/bash.bashrc.

Here if you can tell who is responsible for bringing the daemons in /etc/init.d
i.e. what transfers control to daemons in /etc/init.d/ (at what ever run level)
I want to know even before any daemon defined in /etc/init.d/ comes to picture
what is that script or process which transfers controls to to the
daemons in /etc/init.d/

Don't worry as  I mentioned my Tomcat script is now working fine.
Here I was just curious to know where does bash.bashrc comes to picture.
Which you made clear.

If you want to download youtube videos, just use the greasemonkey 
firefox extension. And add the Youtube vidoe download script:

I use a command line variant known as ffmpeg to convert to videos.
you can give a try to GUI winff it is easy to use.
Should serve your purpose.
Also a long time back I read following

never tried myself you can give it a try.

Ubuntu uses rsyslogd.  See the man page.  Configuration is
in /etc/rsylog.conf and /etc/rsylog.d.  Configuration is very similar to
syslog with a bit more flexibility.

Hello.  root's .bashrc is in /root, which belongs to root's login
account.  IOW, it *is* tied toa specific user - root.

As someone else wisely pointed out (and I did not), /etc/bash.bashrc
is (normally) executed for login shells, so if you want it executed in
another shell script, like a startup script, you have to source it
directly.  Given that this sounds like what you want to do, it might
be wise to do so.

Also, if you put your settings into root's .bashrc (i.e.,
/root/.bashrc), it would not be difficult to source that file from a
startup script, although doing so is non-standard....

You should read the man pages on the shells carefully do determine
which global files get executed when and use them accordingly.
/etc/bash.bashrc is typically executed under some more global shell
profile (most often /etc/profile) that is run for all login shells but
then *usually* contains some discriminator to tell it which profile or
rc script to run next.  This also differs between distros (RH != SLES
!= Ubuntu, although they are all similar).  It too me a fair number of
iterations to create a .bashrc that would do the same thing for all
three distros so I can use the same base file on those three brands of
Linux plus MAC and Solaris.

One example: In Ubuntu, a login bash shell runs /etc/profile, then the
first of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile whereas an
interactive shell starts up with /etc/bash.bashrc and then ~/.bashrc,
in that order.  My ~/.bash_profile just sources my ~/.bashrc, which
makes it *almost* exactly the same for logins and interactive shells,
the way I like it.  Then there are other little details to make them
behave the same way, plus cross-system compatibility issues as
well....

Very "experimental" as in I haven't tried myself, you could create a
user "tester" with full access to their home directory, and then create
a user "tester2" (or something else), but assign them the same home
directory. If the home directory is owned by tester and locked down so
others can only read and execute, theoretically the tester2 user would
only be able to read and execute, but it would still be "their" home
directory.

Seems that might just go a little too restrictive...
Reminds me of the restricted shell from old Unix machines - we'd set them up
as a joke so that someone could log in but not do anything or change
directories to anywhere - the only command they could execute would be to
logout.

Yes, the user would be able to set environment variables for the
specific session.

The restricted shell still exists. See the '-r' flag in the bash man
page.  I never found the feature terribly useful.

Hello,

First idea:
See "section 3.2.1. /etc/exports" of "3. Setting Up an NFS Server" 
(http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s03.html).

And then section 4.

You can tunnel NFS over SSH.


Second idea:
You can use PAM with SSH, so I think a PAM module can be created with 
your needs.

As already said by Steve Lamb, SSH is a mean not the end (in my words).


Regards.

well, i'm stumped.  the system doesn't seem to be running out of memory.
 it froze earlier today, and this was the last update of 'free' on the

Main question: is it safe, to open a port for an openssl server? 


e.g.:


server side - generate a self-signed cert.
time openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:8192 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem
openssl s_server -accept 52310 -cert mycert.pem


Is it secure? - it could be DOSed' [DenialofService] or could it be attacked in any way?


Are there any iptables rule for restricting connections to dyndns names?


e.g.: only allow connection from "asdfasdf.dyndns.com" and "asdfasdf2.dyndns.com" and "asdfasdf3.dyndns.com"?


How could i restrict the openssl server to only accept traffic from given clients? Please help me "think"..


Or are there any "production ready" methods, that can do authentication too? [+using ssl].
"openssl s_server" and "openssl s_client" would be perfect, but the problem is it doesn't has username/password auth :\


Thank you for any help.

Every open port is like a door. As long the lock is good you won't have
problems. :-)

My personal facorite is:
Have SSHd open and running with fail2ban in the background that watches
the logs for abnormal logins and when detected block those IPs for some
time like 5 minutes. Every brute-force break-in attempt is unfeasible.
It can also detect DDOS attacks.

For servers that require high security:
Block all IPs but only a few. When you need to log-in you can log into
one of those servers that are not blocked and from there ssh into the
high-security server.

Subject: Controlling Internet access
Message-ID: <4D6A8C30.4050308@wowway.com>

Recently on this discussion list, there was a tread about disallowing 
Internet access to certain programs.  The approach is essentially to 
maintain a list of blacklisted programs.  I think that this is looking 
at it all wrong.  Is there a way to maintain a list of programs that you 
trust on the Internet?  You see there are new programs written daily. 
How do you know if you can trust them?  My answer would be that you 
don't until they can be considered safe or at the very least, so 
essential that they must have Internet access.

Yes, this seems to be paranoid but the goal is to keep malware off your 
computer.  A program does not necessarily have to harm your computer, it 
might just send personal data which might be detrimental to you.

Subject: difference between packages for 32 bit and 64 bit
Message-ID: <AANLkTincrST71f11B9wweoe-bM-ScDNLNG-j+WuNTJZ+@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I am having some confusion.For development work (with kernel
environment) I needed
following packages

bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev
bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif texinfo texlive-latex-base
texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial build-essential make
gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted
libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev libjpeg62-dev iasl
libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml libx11-dev bison flex


I until now was using them on a 32 bit system.Ubuntu 10.04.
Here I am switching the computer to 64 bit and want to build same
environment how ever my confusion is above packages are approximately
430 Mb and are present in /var/cache/apt/archives on my 32 bit
system.Can I transfer those to my 64 bit system and use or there is a
difference in packages for 32 bit and 64 bit and I should be using a
fresh install on the 64 bit system.
I am not clear with this part.

When Ubuntu One synchs large files, will it (like rsync, for instance)
attempt to find only those sectors which are different between sending 
and receiving locations and send only those, or will it always send the
whole file?

Message-ID: <4D6ABFCD.2060708@gmail.com>

Hi!

I have searched the web and found similar problems like mine but can`t 
seem to find any answer.

How can I make my live-CD show the correct time? It currently displays, 
hwclock +1 hour.
Example:
I run sudo hwclock , output -> 22.06
I run date, output -> 23.06

The date(time) is also what is shown in the upper right corner..

I have tried to set the clock there via preferences and then choosing 
"set system time" and it corrects
the hwclock correctly, but once I restart the live-system we are back 
with the differences.

Does anyone know where the scripts or codelines that sets it back is 
located?
Suggestions for how I can avoid the problem, or solve it? Really needs 
the clock to be
set to the hwclock at boot time.

Thanks for helping.
Are

Hello,

1) see man hwclock.

2) try to understand the difference between utc time and local time? 
What is presented to you and what the computer saves?

3) dpkg-reconfigure tzdata --> choose "Etc" --> then choose "UTC".

Regards.

It's a too general question.

Do you want a ssl tunnel between the first machines to 
asdfasdf.dyndns.com and asdfasdf2.dyndns.com and asdfasdf3.dyndns.com? 
You can use stunnel, or tunnel using SSH.

Hi Are,

Any changes you make whilst running from the live CD will not be
persistent, so you will have to make the changes each time you boot from
the live CD.  If you want the changes to be persistent, consider running
your live environment from a USB stick instead of a CD.  Do this by
creating an ISO using something like Remastersys, then create the USB
stick by running System --> Administration --> Startup Disc Creator.

Regards,
Mark

I am confused, the subject line says USB, but here you talk about CD.
Possibly you have the wrong time zone selected.  See System >

I have a Sony MP4 Player.

Hi Mark
As you can see from the header I am running it from an USB-stick like u 
say. Currently found out i had to change etc/default/rcS , a it said 
UTC=yes, changing it to no seems to give me persistent right clock.

Thanks for answering
Regards Are

Hi Colin

Very sorry about that, I meant a live USB-stick all the way. U are not 
the only one who got confused, sorry.

Currently found out i had to change etc/default/rcS , a it said UTC=yes, 
changing it to no seems to give me persistent right clock.

Thanks for answering

If you have partitioned your hard disk at the first installation, and for
example /home is on a different partition, then you can choose to only
format / and keep /home.

If you have not partitioned, then you will have to make a backup.

Even if you haven't got a separate /home you can reinstall over the
top by simply choosing manual partitioning, and _not_ format the /
partition. It will delete everything except /home and install a new
clean system.

I was happy to learn that this feature will be made a lot more obvious in Natty.

Subject: what is menu.lst equivalent for lucid
Message-ID: <AANLkTimvWj4m4uWiotj=+T==OE_vT04kC79BXAMF0BrG@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I am doing some experiment with pv-ops Dom0 kernel with Xen as mentioned here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps
so I have basically compiled a few kernels which are many in number.
I remember long time back using menu.lst for grub menu.
Before I go to boot my system I searched for menu.lst file but I could
not find it any where.
I am using lucid 64 bit.
Can any one suggest me what should I be doing.I would prefer to do
manually than update-grub sort of thing.

You're stuck.  Lucid was (I believe) when Ubuntu went to Grub 2.0
(actually 1.98), which uses a whole different method for setting up
the boot that is both more powerful and more confusing than Grub 1.

You could try looking these things up before asking on the email list,
or even just look in the email list archives - this subject has been
discussed a lot here.  At the very least, try here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 (first hit on Google: "Ubuntu
Grub 2").

You have to install "System Tray" from the apps for the panel with KDE.
Then there will be an app that will display system announcements. Just
left click on the panel and click on "add widgets". Then select "System
Tray" to install it to your panel. Surprising it isn't installed by
default, at least with 10.4 Ric

Subject: how to get wireless back on a xen pv-ops dom0 setup on lucid 64 bit
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=Za1iuv6ERe7bREOZn1T7bg7nVf3QSqXnrSd6=@mail.gmail.com>

I was trying to set up Xen-4.0.1 on my 64 bit non VT machine.
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps
After I had compiled Xen-4.0.1 successfully (here success refers to no
error during compile)
I did
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
linux-2.6-xen
cd linux-2.6-xen
cp /boot/config-2.6.32-24-generic /usr/src/linux-2.6-xen/.config
make menuconfig
make modules_install install
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32.27

Then change my grug.cfg to look as follows

menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Xen and  Linux 2.6.32.27' --class ubuntu
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
       recordfail
       insmod ext2
       set root='(hd0,8)'
       search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 6061f210-470f-401d-a29e-3c631fc04af4
       multiboot (hd0,8)/boot/xen.gz
       module  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27
      root=UUID=6061f210-470f-401d-a29e-3c631fc04af4 ro   quiet splash
 module  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.27
}

and I was able to boot into this new Xen setup but what I observed was
after I booted my wifi  stopped working.
PCI Id of wifi device 14e4:4315

Each time I try to install Broadcom STA driver(that is what was
working in non xen part wl.ko ) from my LAN (which is working)  from
Ubuntu 10.04 (64  bit) gui

System->Administration-->Hard Ware Drivers-->Broad Com STA driver I
get a failure message which says me to check

/var/log/jockey.log
and here is the jockey.log
http://pastebin.com/VBTLGw42
I had done
update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
to have xend as service

I am not able to understand as how can I proceed
 for the wireless part here.

Let me know if some one has any idea.

If you can change the naming scheme so that yyyy.mm.dd is at the front
then that would solve the problem.

Does the actual date of the file follow the name?  If so then sort by
date rather than name.

I realise that it is probable that neither of these suggestions helps
in the least. :(

    If you have access to the files, the easiest is

ls -lt

       Hope this helps,

Are you using Ubuntu or CentOS?  Ubuntu has online forums for
questions like this, a great many of whose answers can also be found
in any Linux system's man pages, like, in this case, man ls.

Me either, but it was a logical guess based on your complaint.

Any Lucid expert care to weigh in?

Subject: Adding a custom keyboard layout
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=iEOkzUYSC0PUOs4dskmOSzDF7cd38NFWAjFCv@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all, I have written a custom keyboard layout that I'm trying to
install in Kubuntu 10.10. This is the layout:
http://dotancohen.com/eng/keyboard_layout.html

I have added the layout as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/dotan and made
these changes:

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst I added this:
! layout
  dotan           Dotan
Of course, the !layout line was already there, I did not touch it.

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml I added this:

  <layoutList>

<layout>
  <configItem>
    <name>dotan</name>
    <shortDescription>Dotan</shortDescription>
    <description>Dotans Layout</description>
  </configItem>
</layout>

Of course, the <layoutList> line was already there, I did not touch it.

However, after a rebook I do not see the new layout in KDE's
configuration for these things. What did I miss or do wrong? Thanks!
