Hello,
I'm using Linux in a large multi-user network. Let A be some group which I'm am member of, but which is not my primary group. According to chmod(2) I should be able to chgrp a file to group A. Trying to do so succeeds on a local as well as on a NFSv3 mount, but not on a NFSv4/Kerberos mount (EPERM). Are there any special considerations regarding chgrp when using NFSv4 mounts?

I've recently repurposed an old machine that I had laying around (custom built several years ago with miscellaneous parts) as a simple media center with an Ubuntu 8.10 operating system and Boxee as its front end, and I absolutely love it. I'm particularly intrigued by the custom applications that are possible, and I wanted to start a running list of recommended apps for it.
So, my question is this: what Boxee apps do you recommend, and why? One app per answer, please.

I'm using a java process to spawn many other java processes using Runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd is like the following:
java -cp "MyJar.jar" pkg.MyClass some-more-arguments
running the same command from the command line works fine in windows and linux, however when my spawning java process calls the command via Runtime.exec it works in windows but not in linux.
in linux i get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pkg/MyClass
any ideas?

Hi,
My server is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.
iptables version is v1.3.5.
I want to allow all UDP connections / port for the IP address 192.168.0.200. This IP address is configured in my eth0. So basically I want to set it up the same as my local loopback (127.0.0.1) UDP traffic.
What is the iptable command to allow all UDP connections / ports for IP 192.168.0.200?
I'm using LTSP on a Ubuntu 10.04 64bit box with 8 thin clients.
I would like to save power by automatically turning off the thin clients at night, but I would like to have the ability to resume the staff's session in the morning.
Is it possible to keep a session running whilst turning off the LTSP thin client and resuming that session when you power up the thin client the next time?
Could this work if you login to another thin client in the morning and resume your session?
I'm right now busy with moving the first steps into Linux, i'm using a bash shell within a mac osx
I see in all tutorials that in order to launch an application from the bash its necessary to cd to its directory and simply type the name of the app.
This is exatly what i'm doing and it does not work (i have on my desktop a 'Eclipse' folder with the launcher icon in it):
cd Desktop
cd Eclipse
Eclipse.app
Why will this not work?
I read everywhere that typing the name of the app its enough
Hi,
I am shocked that I still don't understand "Execute" permission in linux. There are three permission - read, write, and execute. I understand that read and write literally, but what does execute do exactly? Let's say I have example.php with execute permission. What can I do with example.php???
After I installed Ubuntu 10.4, I tried out Gwibber and liked it very much.
Next time I logged in, I had the same messages that were there when I logged off, and nothing I did (e.g. unsubscribing/re-subsribing) helped.
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
I have a number of Linux webservers for which I'd like to track where disk space is going and keep disk space to a minimum.
Typically I login on SSH and use du to find out where disk space is wasted but this is cumbersome and slow. A visualisation tool like KDirStat would be ideal, but it requires installing an X server at the very least, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there any web-based disk space visualizer? I'm open to alternative solutions.
Is there any good CHM reader out there which can support the following:
Highlighting of text
easy navigation
works on windows, linux and mac
The default one in windows does not support highlighting text.
Hi Guys,
How do you generally proceed for your package installations on Linux, for packages that are not part of your distrib's repos?
On my side I am used to install in /opt. But since, I saw this doc on the Internet: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/. Now I am confused: apparently /usr/local would be also a possibility.
What is the difference between both? Any best practices to share?
Thanks

Hi all,
Exim seems to be very flexible and configurable. What would be the best approach for me to forward an incoming email to exim to another mail server running on a different port like lamson? I am running exim and lamson on the same ubuntu machine.
Thanks heaps.
Hi all,
I have a linux (Slackware) machine and the time/date is like, June 23rd 2003, 10:00am (It's 11 here) and I am not able to set the time to have it correct.
I change the timezome to Montreal but the time is still wrong.
Is there a way to force it to sync with my domain controler or even another online NTP server?
Thanks,
David.
when I ssh to a certain linux host, although my default shell is tcsh, the .cshrc file under my home directory is not sourced at all. I can't understand why this happen, cus from my understanding, if I'm using the tcsh, the .cshrc should be anyway souced!
must some magic there, please tell me if you know it. thanks in advance.
Whe right clicking in windows that have popup menus you can hold mouse button, wait until popup appears and release above the desired item to click it. This is different from Windows that have popup appear only on mouse release. And it leads to accident menu item clicking sometimes. Looks like the issue is there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/320259, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575071.
Is there's any way to change popup appearance time at least?
I have about 1000 text files and I need to view each, and move it to a folder if it's the correct one. I can only do basic sorting by length/size, and I can't grep because the text is random. How can I do this besides manually openiing + saving each in gedit. I'm on UbuntuLinux. Thanks
Is there a way to run a VM in Fusion that starts when the machine does, but I can then access via Remote Desktop (Windows) or ssh (Linux) rather than by opening the Fusion app, starting the VM, and then connecting however I'd prefer (rdp/ssh)?
