When login through a terminal into my Ubuntu 9.10 Server, I see the following message:

How can I identify this zombie process?
So how do I go from installing MySQL from the Software Center to inputing data into fields and bringing in a comma delimited file? I've only had brief experience with MSAccess and OOo Base a long time ago, so details are appreciated, I just want to get up and running.
I have Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit, if that affects much. If you can link me to a howto that does exactly what I'm looking for, that would work.
Again, Thanks!
I plugged in my external harddrive (which was formatted on my Mac into HFS+ journaled) to my Ubuntu desktop 9.04 64bit. I am not able to get the drive to mount with write capability, how do I do that? Right now all I'm getting is read access, I tried
sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdf2 /media/"Portable HD"
but that still gave me only read access... ideas??
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 for Drupal development. This morning I accidentally removed my www folder in directory. The folder has many of my web development documents.
I just restart my system after it happened, and I installed some recovery software like gpart. Is there any way to recover my www directory and files?
Thanks in advance.
I just made a silly mistake on my Ubuntu Server box: I added myself to a group using usermod -G, after which I discovered the -a option...
The result is that I am now out of the admin group, and lost my sudo rights. I can sort that out, but I want to know what other groups I may been removed from? My user was the first one so what I'm looking for is a list of groups that the first user gets added to at installation time.
I'm trying to monitor the number of disk reads and writes on my VPS (Rackspace in this case) running Ubuntu 9.04. I realize there are many tools to do this, but when using dstat 0.7 I tried the following command:
dstat -d
The output is just two columns of zeroes even when I upload a large file via scp that should be causing a large number of disk writes. Why is this, and how do I get dstat to correctly display the number of disk reads and writes?
I'm considering getting a Nexus One, but only if there's a PC Suite for Ubuntu through whom I can send SMS's.
I have many other Nexus one related questions, but I think I would be stretching the scope of SU to post them here.

I have a Kinesis keyboard that I ideally like to use by placing it on top of my laptop. When I do that, I wind up pressing keys on the built-in keyboard with my external keyboard.
I've been playing around with the GUI keyboard controls and reading the ubuntu forums for a couple hours without really any forward progress. Even a hacky solution or a pointer to a good library for configuring multiple keyboards differently would be much appreciated.
thanks.
How to run specific program with root privileges (Ubuntu OS) when no sudo user log into system? Program need root privileges to function correctly. Normal user shouldn't be able to shutdown this process.

Hi,
This probably sounds ridiculous - but Im using Geany on Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed that it has a neat little terminal window at the bottom.
Would it be possible/and if so how would I set up if I could SSH onto a FreeBSD server via that terminal then open a file on the server in Geany?
Thanks.
You can download a copy of a trial version of U2 UniVerse 10.3 page, but as implied in the file name it only works with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. There are no instructions in the zip, just a bunch of cpio archives. How do I get it to work?

I am able to use remote desktop on my Ubuntu server (with gnome desktop installed) when I also have an active session on the desktop. I would like to be able to remote desktop to this server after I just turn on the power (no screen and keyboard to the server), is that possible?
Thanks!
It came with my Sony VAIO® VPCF133FX/H 16.4" Notebook.
Ubuntu does suggest an NVIDIA driver for me, but when I install it, I cannot boot back in normally. I have to boot into a failsafe mode, then reset graphics setting to default, and reboot again. Right now I am stuck in 800 x 600 mode, but I would like to do better, and take advantage of my 1GB graphics memory :(. Please let me know if you have questions.
We have an Ubuntu 10.04 server. How can I set it so that new files created (or copied) over SFTP or SSH have g+rw and g+rwx permissions (where appropriate)?
I'm also using setgid (chmod g+s) so that they inherit the proper group owner.
Most tutorials online show how to install PEAR by doing this:
sudo apt-get install php-pear
This installs version 1.6.1. It works great because it's super easy! My problem is that I want to install PHPUnit and it requires PEAR version 1.8.1 so my install of PHPUnit failed. So how do I install a newer version of PEAR on Ubuntu?
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. My internet is not working because it is connect with lancard and also showing send and receiving but my internet is not working.

I work in an environment wherein files are exchanged over email which are then processed into databases.
In Windows, mapping a network drive and storing files directly to a folder in the network drive from Firefox/Chrome downloads is a breeze.
How to achieve the same in Ubuntu? I don't see the SFTP'ed drive/directory as options in Firefox- Downloads setup.
Thanks in advance!
Can I dual boot ubuntu with on a inspiron 1720 (it is running windows 7).
One issue is I don't have space on the c:\ drive, but other partitions have space.
Will that cause any issues?
This is just to play and learn with, and I don't want to ruin my main windows install doing this.
I don't think my laptop is powerful enough for a virtualbox install (only 2gb ram).
