Is it possible to create a usb bootable version of Windows 7 just like ubuntu??
I mean boot the actual operating system and not the installer from a usb?
i'm thinking about converting my OS (ubuntu) to the 64 bit version to use the last bit of memory (4 gb)—ok, it's rather reinstalling …
will this work as expected or are there possible limits given by the mainboard/memory controller/some other component, so i cannot fully utilize my full ram? if so, are there benefits from upgrading anyway?
I want to add the bthprops.cpl dll (The bluetooth control panel applet) to my wine install
under Ubuntu 10.04 since it is required for Dolphin Emulator. http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/
I copied the file from my windows install into the System32 folder in .wine and into the
folder where the application I am trying to run is, but wine still fails to load it. Is
there anything else I need to do to make the dll accessible for wine programs?
(Please don't suggest the native linux Version of Dolphin as a fix - it is not working
for me)
I have my VPS now, with ubuntu 9.10 OS.
I wonder about SSH.
What is it for, and how do I use it?
Also, in which order should I install apps on my server? (ex: PuTTY, IPTABLES, LAMP etc...)?
Thanks
Is there a command that can be run to verify that a users cron job has run successfully?
Platform is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
I have scripts in /home/useraccount/bin/
running
crontab -l
while logged in as user results in:
# m h dom mon dow command
@hourly /home/useraccount/bin/script_1
@hourly /home/locateruser/bin/script_2
I realize scripts could send email or write to a log with a timestamp, but wondering if there is just a way to verify it ran from the command line.
I want to restrict all traffic from my ubuntu-machine to come or go from the local network (eth0) or from or to my VPN (tun0).
It should be possible to connect the router in the local network but not possible to leave the local network not using the VPN.
Since i have no experience with iptables and i couldn't find some how-to i tried ufw but i did not succeed.
Thank you for some hints or code snippets how to come closer!
hi,
I have a Ruby on Rails web application running on my computer (Ubuntu 10.04) that I'd like to be able to access from a remote machine. My server is mongrel but I have no problem installing another if it helps. How do I set things up so I can access my web application from a remote machine?
Hi,
I am running ubuntu 8.04. How can I configure my environment so that another user can log in to my machine and see my desktop and X programs (e.g. firefox) (i.e. ssh won't work for me).
Thank you.
I recently used the Ubuntu update manager to upgrade the kernel on my netboook to 2.6.28-15. The problem is that the new kernel no longer auto-mounts my SD card, which happens to contain my /home directory. The funny thing is, if I use the "recovery mode" grub option, and then "resume normal" the card gets mounted. How do I ensure my sd card is mounted on boot?
I have solr setup with Jetty on my Ubuntu server.
On any computer now, I can type my_ip:8983/solr/ and the page will show upp to anybody.
How can I disable this so that only I can access that port and the solr admin?
Thanks
Hi
I need help on how to increase the mouse sensitivity even further, because I maxed it out using the settings interface, and it's not enough . (I've tried two diffrent mouses that both are really good in windows so that shouldn't be the problem...)
So what solution is there to this problem?
(Using ubuntu and I've tried in both 9.10 and 10.4)
Essentially, I want the Ubuntu pre-10.10 behaviour back. The setuid method (see notes) does not work anymore. I search a lot on the Internet, but I haven't found a satisfying solution.
I have read a solution that involves editing the sudoers file (ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/mount.cifs). But then, the users would also be able to specify a directory as a mount-point they normally would not have access to, right? This is not what I want.
We just installed a Windows 2008 Enterprise server and I'm having a problem joining the domain. We're running Ubuntu Server, OpenLdap with Samba shares.
Does anyone know of reference material where I can find information about getting this server to properly join our domain.
I've tried googling various boolean searches with poor results.
Say I insall apache or mysql etc. on my ubuntu server.
Is it possible to get a report of what was installed and where? (say I want to delete the apache installation).

I have tried to install php5-fpm and Nginx on Ubuntu machine, but I got a problem. When I have only one virtual host on a unix port it is all fine but when I try to add another virtual host Nginx goes to default web page "Welcome to Nginx!" but when I run it on a tcp port example port 9000 it work fine with multisites. It is a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10, Nginx 1.2.3 with php5-fpm installed. It also has extra php installs such as php-apc. I can only give the links to the virtual hosts because I am doing it from a mobile phone. Here are the links for the two virtual hosts I am using: http://ic0nic.co.uk/ic0nic.txt, http://ic0nic.co.uk/sourproxy.txt also I want to use unix port because I find it a whole lot faster.
Edit: Here are the nginx configs
server {
server_name ic0nic.co.uk www.ic0nic.co.uk;
root /var/www/ic0nic.co.uk;
listen 8080;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
include conf.d/drop;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_buffers 8 256k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-fpm-www.sock;

}
}
server {

}
I'm running ubuntu and I have a strange issue where any new window I open (open office doc, pidgeon window, etc) open behind current windows.
this is frustrating, especially for IM windows as I often don't see the window.
Has anyone ever had this issue, and know how to resolve it?
Thanks!
I have 2 USB DVD drives. One that I borrowed from work which I have been testing with which works fine for me, which is why I brought one of myself. When I try and mount my new dvd drive this happens:
[18:06:45][arcath@londinium][~] sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd/
mount: special device /dev/sr0 does not exist
/dev/sr0 is only in the list when the drive is attached and it works on other machines using the same cables so it must be something with my server.
The server is running Ubuntu 10.10 server
Im trying to set up multiple user directories on EC2 running Ubuntu, but im not sure how to set it up correctly so that i can serve files in the following format:
http://<ec2 ip address>/user_1/public_html/file1.html and
http://<ec2 ip address>/user_2/public_html/file3.html
and so on for every user that i add. I tried looking for the httpd.conf file but i coulndt find it i only found apache2.conf
Thank you guys.
I have a server and am trying to do an apt-get upgrade, and get the following error message. What does it mean?
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-27-generic_2.6.24-27.45_i386.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1)
I want to install emacs-snapshot from http://emacs.orebokech.com
But there is already an emacs-snapshot in Ubuntu's repositories.
How can I specify the repository from which a package will be installed?
I am in terminal mode on Ubuntu, and I'm running emacs with 2 buffers open, one is a ruby file, and the other is a shell (opened by typing M-x shell ), and when I switch to the shell buffer, I want to run the same command that I ran before. I would normally just hit the up arrow in a terminal window, but in emacs, it simply puts the cursor up one line.
Does anyone know of keystroke to run the previous shell command from within an emacs shell?
I'm using Ubuntu (Karmic) and 2 keyboard layouts.
Using the gnome settings, I managed to set it to switch with Alt+Shift (windows style), but I really want to limit it to Right Alt + Right Shift, but that option isn't available in the gnome wizard.
I've opened gconf-editor and found the kbd configuration, but trying to add 'r' or 'right_' prefixes to the keys didn't help.
Is this possible?
Hi,
In ubuntu, I did these commands:
sudo apt-get install build-essential vala-desktop-agnostic checkinstall
sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator
How can i un-apt-get, or uninstall the packages it pulls in?
I have set-up Postfix with Spamassassin on Ubuntu 12.04.5. Fundamental usage of Postfix is to (pipe) trigger a PHP file. Till here I've arrived successfully.
Now, to avoid unneccessary load on the server, and also to avoid unwanted mails triggering my PHP script, I want to configure Postfix to allow mails only from [email protected] and reject everything else.
How to achieve this absolute lock-down on mail server unless mail comes from [email protected]?
