Hi
I have successfully install smokeping on my Ubuntu Karmic machine and am monitoring servers.
I need to be able to monitor an IP address and a port, can someone tell me how I do that?
I looked into Smokeping::probes::TCPPing but I cannot find how to install TCPPing
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Title says it all. I've got Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed on my machine, with one hard drive and nothing but the default partition. What is the safest way to now install Ubuntu Server 10.04 so that they coexist peacefully?

I have a computer, running ubuntu, that I want to be connected to the network at all times. It has a GSM modem connected to it via USB.
Is there some program available that monitors that the networking is working (by pinging some site(s)), and if not tries to fix the error by reseting the modem, reloading the USB drivers and perhaps by dropping the USB port's current (if possible) to force the modem to reset ?
Hello,
I connected my UBUNTU laptop to a 26" monitor. It acts as a dual or extended screen. But the 26" flickers, I set the refresh rate to 70Hz.
Appreciate all help to solve this issue.
Thanks

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)
Within a minute of connecting to my remote Linux server through SSH, my session times out and I cannot contact the server until a few seconds have passed. Meanwhile, I'm connected to other servers without interruption. This is only happening when I establish connection from an hotel wireless AP. When I connect from my phone's Internet, the problem does not occur. Does anyone know what might be causing these unusual timeouts?
I'm using Linux Mint 8 64bit with Google Chrome Unstable (same problem with beta).
When a video is playing, the time elapsed and total time stay on the screen:
Is there a way to make this disappear? I've tried all kinds of preferences, but to no avail.
I'm curious if it is possible to mount a partition encrypted by cryptsetup with LUKS securely and automatically on Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS.
For example, if I use the key for the encrypted partition, than that key has to be presented on a device that is not encrypted and if someone steals my disk they'll be able to find the key and decrypt the partition.
Is there any safe way to mount an encrypted partition? If not, does anything exist to do what I want?
What I need to do is a program that given (as a command line argument) a directory with more directoreies inside, and 4 Pics inside of each dir, the program makes a thumbnail of the 4 files and glues them together (2 rows, 2 columns) and renames that image to the name of the directory.
I think it could be done with a combination of a program and shell scripting (I'm experienced in M$, but new to linux).
Some real examples would be great.
Thanx in advance
I'm using Nouveau video driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 video-card with Ubuntu 10.04. Screen flickers frequently, especially when I'm loading pages with many images/banners in Firefox. I tried to use proprietary NVIDIA driver, but it behaves itself even worse. Nv driver doesn't work at all.
I also filed a bugreport in launchpad if you need any additional information.
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
I have a Linux machine running as a bridge simulating various network conditions. I use tc for this. Introducing delays or packet loss is quite simple but I got into trouble trying to configure bandwidth limiting.
Can you, please, show me how to limit all the traffic going through my bridge without any special rules and condition, simply limit it to 1Mb/s?
Thanks.
PS Your favorite link to tc tutorial will be appreciated.
Hi everybody,
I have an issue with a tarball created on a SuSe 10.3 Server version. The .tar file has a size of 6.5 GB but if I untar it under Ubuntu 9.10 the resulting folder only has a size of 1.5 GB.
commands used: tar cvf for packing, tar xvf for unpacking.
Perhaps somebody knows how this can be fixed, would be great,
cheers
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
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.
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 change OpenJDK to SunJava in my ubuntulinux desktop , i have downloaded the "jdk-7.tar.gz" from sun's website, but there problem is how to make the system to use the newly downloaded java ? I tried adding the new jdk/bin/java to my PATH ( from .bashrc ) but that seem not to work (cause probably OpenJDK's path is inside my PATH variable as well , so the system checks that first)
Here's my JDK7 : /usr/lib/jdk7/bin/java
Here's what $(which java) outputs : /usr/bin/java
Thanks in advance
With a typical USB hard drive enclosure, is the full range of drive power management functionality available?
In what may be an unrelated matter: is it possible to suspend a PC without unmounting an attached USB-powered drive, and then remounting it on resume? This is the behaviour I'm currently seeing (running Ubuntulinux 10.10).
Are there certain models or brands that provide more complete control over this aspect of drive operation? My Friendly Neighbourhood Computer Store carries (part of) the Vantec Nexstar product line.
We currently have five Ubuntu 10.04 LTS servers, and keeping them all up-to-date is starting to be a pain. I've been looking into solutions like Puppet and Canonical Landscape.
Out of the two I prefer Puppet -- it would be useful to be able to ensure the permissions of various directories on the machines, and define groups and users on the server which are then propagated to clients.
Is there any other software in this vein that I should be taking a look at?
I just ran sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade through PuTTY (SSH Client) on my Laptop, which was directed at my fresh Ubuntu server. Unfortunately I just realized I need to be out of the house with my Laptop and I'm worried that by exiting my SSH client or having my Laptop disconnect form the internet that the server won't continue updating!
What will happen if I turn my Laptop off now that the server is updating?!
Getting a kernel panic with this error on my XEN VPS's. (all on 8.04 LTS)
The kernel version on my Dom-0 is 2.6.24-25-xen and the kernel version on the Xen VPS is also 2.6.24-25-xen.
I read something about disabling APIC from here http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2008/08/20/ubuntu-bug-soft-lockup-cpu0-stuck-for-11s/
but that doesn't seem to help as well.
Anyone experienced this and are there any workarounds?
Thanks in advance!
