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.
Please help.
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!
I need to build an server (Ubuntu 9.10 server) to host source control (subversion) from my house. What are the minimum specs (processor and ram) to do this with good performance? I'll need to buy some new parts from newegg and just need enough to get by. It may also serve as a file server for other things in the future, but nothing intensive like media streaming.
I've been trying to find a way to run a torrent client strictly through a VPN. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, and use Ktorrent. I can connect to vpn.itshidden.com but I am worried about the connection dropping if I'm away from my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
In 10.10 upstart is being used instead of sysvinit.
It's possible to remove annoying upstart services which you do not want by removing the appropriate file in /etc/init/blah.conf
However, this seems a heavy handed approach. How do you correctly configure upstart to be able to selectively turn these services on and off via the command line?
As a practical example, the answers listed here to turn gdm off using rcconf no longer work:
How do I prevent GDM from running at boot on Ubuntu?
I have a small media server at home which has software raid and a gigabit link to the rest of my network.
For some reason though, I only get ~10MB/s transfers when copying to/from the server.
How can I benchmark network throughput (Windows 7 desktop <- Ubuntu server) and hard disk performance to try and identify where my bottleneck might be?
I have a few Ubuntu servers (8.10, 9.10) that is set to automatically install security updates. Some times these updates requires a restart of the system, and this string is shown in motd:
*** System restart required ***
To get a notice about these, I plan to write a Nagios test to monitor if the server is in need of a reboot. So, my question:
Is there a better way than parsing /etc/motd to find out if a reboot is needed?
I have recently started using UBUNTU. I am wondering about the point of installing antivirus programs. on SU, I found the opinion that it only detects "windows viruses" and removes them. Is there a point in installing antivirus if I don't have any other OS?
As far as I know, there are no viruses for linux, what about malvare and any other harmful programs? Is it safe not t install any protecting software?
I am looking for a guide on how to set up a local home server that will also be used as a web server. I have an old desktop with Ubuntu 12.10 and wish for this to be used as my central web and local server. I also have multiple Windows 7 systems at home that I wish to be part of this network and a wireless router. Can someone provide me with assistance on where to start (perhaps just the home network) or refer me to a guide on how to do this?
Problem
Retrospect is a backup system that my organization uses, but I can not find support for my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit desktop.
What I have tried (but did not work)
download the Redhat version and attempt to convert to deb
wget http://download.dantz.com/archives/Linux_Client-7_6_100.rpm
sudo alien Linux_Client-7_6_100.rpm
The Restrospect user forum has this thread, which provides an i386 .deb file for installing Retrospect
Question
Is there a way to install this on my system?
I have installed Virtualbox in Ubuntu 12.04, and I created a virtual guest with Windows 7 64bit. Guest additions were also installed. It works fine, but I can't set the resolution to anything higher than 1600 x 1200, whereas my screen is 1920x1080.
Here's my system specifications: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz AMD Radeon 7650 VGA 8 Gb RAM DDR3
Moreover, if I try to enhable 3D acceleration in the settings of my guest, when I expand to full screen it aborts...
Thanks in advance

In my Ubuntu 8.04 'Other' menu, it has 'OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime', 'Sun Java 5.0 Runtime' , 'Sun Java 6 Runtime'.
Can you please tell me where are these actually installed?
I can only fine 1, the OpenJDK :
$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)
How can I find the others?
Thank you.
I looked at all the other posts on this but can't find the directories mentioned (~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks, it's a JSON file.). Being a 2 day Newbie to Ubuntu/Linux I would like to know if the location has changed in the latest version or if not how I locate the directory indicated. I have logged in as root and searched for the folder and can't find it although I imported my bookmarks from a html file so I know that they must be saved somewhere.
Hi,
In windows you can press the Windows key plus "E" to get the Windows Explorer window to open up any time.
Is there an equivalent global hot-key to get the file explorer to show up?

I have a 3G connection on my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop. Now I want to share it with another laptop using Windows 7. I'm familiar with setting up network connections, but I want to be pointed in the right directions here. I'm not good with iptables and wireless configurations.
Does anyone know of a good way to find out what the actual frequencies are of the cores in my Xeon? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I'd like to see if Turbo Boost is working properly, and it's also just nice to keep an eye on what's going on with the system. Thanks.
Was playing with tftp and screwed up something in boot sequence. Eth2 fails to start at boot but allows to be restarted manually. Can not find error message in logs... so, which log file on ubuntu server would show why network interface (eth2) failed to up during boot process?
I can't find clear answers / methods on this. As seen elsewhere, passenger and RoR under apache gobble up ram on my VPS.
I've tried a multitude of stacks and implementations, currently resting on a sub optimal apache/cgi/rails configuration, which has swapped my ram usage for CPU time and slow response to requests.
Can anyone recommend an efficient and preferably simple to administer method of setting up rails apps in ubuntu 10.04 server?
Where to find virtual host details and document root in Ubuntu Hardy?
For example, in Centos both information is available in httpd.conf file, whilst there is also a httpd.conf file found in Hardy, virtual hosts and document root information is not available.
Thanks for help.
Almost every time I want to use my netbook, it's un-suspended itself because the button is too easy to press.
Is there some way to tell Ubuntu (Netbook Remix 10.04) NOT to un-suspend if the lid's closed?
