Is there a way to get DVD region code from command line (linux/ubuntu 9.10)?
I want to script this action and store the region code (and other data about DVD) in a log.
I want to build a linux machine to use as a test server (LAMP) and use SVN on it.
I am thinking maybe Ubantu as the OS but what hardware specs would I need. I think the entire site is less than a gig but if SVN is going to keep multiple versions than wouldnt I need a huge hard drive?
Any tips would be nice.
Thanks!!
Hy,
a friend and me want to share a Linux-Machine. We both need to get root-rights via sudo for administering that machine. Is it somehow possible to deny the access to the home-folder for the other one, although he can become root?
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me how to access the Java Applet Console in Chromium for Linux?
I assumed there would be a Java application packaged with the JRE that would give me access through the command line, but I can't find reference to anything.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.2) (ArchLinux-6.b24_1.11.2-1-i686)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
Hello,
My cousin just deleted his Linux partition and another smaller partitio nand now Windows is not booting, no he does not have the recovery disc. When Windows tries to boot it goes to "GRUB" and says "partition not loaded". What are some GRUB commands? And is it possible to fix this without using the recovery CD? Thank you in advance.
Hello I am new to ubuntu linux and am currently trying to configure my netbeans to work with PHP. I have found several tutorials to install all the applications I need and have installed a virtual directory for netbeans to run in. Unfortunately, whenever netbeans or I myself go to my local host I get an error 403. I tried modifying my settings to allow from localhost (instead of allow from all) but this did not work and am completely out of ideas.
I have 2 linux machines, they do not have internet connectivity or any other means of getting an external clock.
I need one of them to act as the "master"/server and the other machine to sync it's clock to that server. It's not important that the time is correct, it's only important that the time is the same on these 2 machines.
So, give I have a server (192.168.1.10) and a client (192.168.1.11), how do I set up /etc/ntp.conf on these 2 machines respectivly ?
Is it possible to setup a mail server on a Linux machine without root permissions? I want to be able to create two aliases for a given mail ID. But if I remember correctly, it is no possible to do this without root privileges because I need to edit the configuration file and then restart the mail server. Does anyone have a suggestion to get around this problem?
I want to run a guest operating system under a Linux host with VirtualBox, but I don't want to run from within X. I don't want a headless configuration, I don't want to run VirtualBox in the background, I don't want any remote protocols. I just want the guest OS to take control of my console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) and render to the framebuffer directly, not from within an X window.
Is this possible?
Is there some faster way than /dev/[u]random? Sometimes, I need to do things like
cat /dev/urandom /dev/sdb
The random devices are "too" secure und unfortunately too slow for that. I know that there are wipe and similar tools for secure deletion, but I suppose there are also some on-board means to that in Linux.
I would like to boot directly from an external hard disk to improve performance over my internal notebook hard disk. My notebook has no native eSata jack but a pci express card.
As my BIOS doesn't support the card on boot time so no way directly booting it.
My question is, is it possible to work around this issue by using an USB stick or similar with a boot loader like grub and if so, will this only work for Linux or Windows as well?
I have a slow machine, mainly a Celeron with 250gb HD.
I'm planning to install a Linux distro and create a bunch of VMs for development.
Which distro should I choose? I plan to use this machine mainly as a small "hypervisor" to other vms.
Is it possible? What do you suggest?
Thanks!

I want to close an open port which is in listening mode between my client and server application.
Is there any manual command line option in Linux to close a port ??
NOTE: I came to know that "only the application which owns the connected socket should close it, which will happen when the application terminates."
I dont understand why it is only possible by the application which opens it ... But still eager to know if there is any another way to do it ??
I'm trying to setup a network architecture where one network is a low-latency low-bandwidth tcp control system (GBit), the other is a high-bandwidth udp (maybe tcp) network that could get saturated (GBit).
If I have two NICs inside a server running Linux. What happens to the low-bandwidth/low-latency network when the high-bandwidth gets saturated. Does each Ethernet card get the same amount of priority inside the kernel or would the low-latency network suffer from the high-bandwidth being saturated?
Hi,
I'm running a Linux server that - from time to time - faces heavy load and the conntrack table overflows. Since it's iptables firewall ruleset is very simple I'd like to turn it to stateless mode. I know that iptables can operate in stateful connection tracking mode and in a stateless mode.
My firewall rules are all in place I'm pretty sure that they are stateless but my question is how can I verify that the firewall is really operating in stateless mode?
I am pondering on what would be any implications in logging in via SSH as root?
Surely SSH is safe or am I kidding myself and falling for the unwary ethic of logging into a remote Linux box as root?
Thanks.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the linux "find" command (or another command that will get the job done) to return a list of file paths/directories that do not contain a directory of a certain name.
~/web/domain1.com/public_html/bar
~/web/domain2.com/public_html/
~/web/domain3.com/public_html/bar
~/web/domain4.com/public_html/
I want all of the paths that don't contain the directory named "bar" (domain2.com and domain4.com). Any idea how I can get find to output such a list?
Thanks!

I have a pretty busy GNU/Linux server that I think needs more RAM. I know that the free command doesn't show the amount of RAM that is used.
So I was stumbling upon Commited_As in /proc/meminfo. It currently shows 57972 kB which isn't much. Is this the amount of RAM that the processes use "right now" or is this an estimate of how many additional RAM it would take to never run out of memory with this load?
I've set up a little media center computer running Arch Linux.
I want to eventually get it so that there is no keyboard or mouse required. Right now I want the solution to be SSH. My problem is that when I do something like mplayer movie.mpg over an ssh shell, I'll just get vo: couldn't open the X11 display ()!
How do I get this to work correctly and play on my TV(the display the media center computer is hooked to)?
The main file shares on our network are currently hosted by old Apple XServes. I had planned to replace some of these with Windows shares as I have better hardware available but have been told this is likely to cause issues with some of our Mac users.
What sort of issues am I likely to run into and what are the recommended ways of hosting general file storage in a mixed OS (Windows, OSX, occasionally linux) environment?
mysql -u user -p pass -h remotehost

Suppose the remotehost's OS is linux,
how do I switch to shell mode?
In command line, we have, for example, TAB, which autocomplete the commands.
In the GUI, we need just to select a text for Ubuntu to copy it. And the mouse middle button can be used to paste.
Which other "untold" secrets Ubuntu hides?
obs. I don't know which of the items I told are for any Linux or Ubuntu specific.
