Hello,
I want to install LAMP stack on Ubuntu desktop version 10.x. Do I have to reinstall the whole thing via the server version or apt-get install?
Thanks

Hi.
I want to run some commands every time a user of an ubuntu 9.10 machine logs out or shuts down. What is the best way to do this? Every user uses gnome if that helps.
Hello,
On recently upgraded machines (Jaunty-Karmic) and newly installed Karmic machines (they come with FireFox 3.5.4 I believe) I am noticing this "ubuntu firefox modifications" addon. What exactly is this addon? What does it do? Any bad effects of disabling it? And finally, how to purge this from the systems.
Thanks.
I was using Ubuntu 9, then automatically updated it to 10, then the minimize, maximize and close buttons that used to be on top right were moved to top left. Among the three buttons, close was moved to the far left. Close is below Applications and above File. You have to look to the close button to close Windows now. Why?
I have a REALLY weird problem with either my network or my OS.
Last week I've suddenly had difficulties loading some websites or even more odd some parts of different websites. For example, I could load gmail.com, login and view the list of emails in my inbox but when I clicked one of them it would just time out. Another example is http://www.ynet.co.il, I can view the home page but going into any one of the articles fails (times out).
I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera, all fail the same way.
If I take a URL of a page I cannot load via the browser and try to wget it though the console I get the file just fine.
I've formatted my machine (Used to run Ubuntu 13.04) and installed Mint Linux this time, it worked fine for a few days and now, again, having the same exact issues.
Important to note that I have other machines connected either directly or via Wi-Fi to the router and they are all working fine (two win7 machines and 1 raspberry pi).
Another strange behavior is that I can ftp or ssh to remote machines but cannot send files via ftp (times out) even if I set passive mode ON and when using ssh I can do just about anything but I cannot paste text into the remote machine, for example if I nano a file on the remote machine and try to paste anything from my clipboard it freezes.
What I've tried so far:
Disable IPv6 on the networking admin (and on firefox disabling ipv6 on the about:config page)
Changing the port and the network cable
I went to the store and bought a new standalone PCIe network adapter
Connected my win7 laptop using the same cable and router port (sites that were not working on my Mint are working just fine on the win7 machine)
Loaded Mint from a livecd, got the same result
Tried changing the MTU (was 1500, tried 1492)
Some observations:
When I clear my browser cache and go to facebook.com for example, the homepage loads but I fail to load any profile/group page. If I refresh facebook.com homepage a couple of times it stops and fails to load until I clear my browser cache. I changed the chrome cache folder permissions to 0777 but that did not help.
When I run netstat -n I see A LOT of connections that are in 'FIN_WAIT' mode (I'm guessing that's when I try to refresh pages that are not working and timing out), I have no idea what it means or if it helps anyone figure out what's wrong.
The sites that are not loading correctly are always that same, they don't vary or anything and they fail to load exactly the same way on all three browsers that I've tried.
When I Googled 'Ubuntu some sites not loading' I see a huge amount of complaints just like mine, but none of them that I could find actually says what the problem is or how they fixed it.
Technical stuff:
netstat -n
ps aux
netstat -nr
I've got a zen slice running Ubuntu. I set the thing up as root and had "normal" bash and vim profiles, however the new users I've created for myself and others have no profiles.
I've tried copying the profiles from root to my user's home directories, but still don't have color or even machine name\login at the prompt.
How do I get the options transferred?
I just bought a brand new laptop. At first I was using Windows 7 and decided to switch to Ubuntu Studio 9.10 on my Studio Dell. My ethernet card is a Netlink. I do not have any connection at all to the internet, only when I plug the wire to my computer. I've tried a lot of stuff; nothing works. Can you help me please?
This is similar to some other questions, but I have a specific need which is not covered in the other questions.
I have an Ubuntu server (11.10) with two NICs. One is built into the motherboard and the other is a PCI express card. I want to have my server connected to the internet via my NAT router and also have it able to wake from suspend using a Magic Packet (henceforth referred to as Wake-On-LAN, WOL). I can't do this with just one of the NICs because each has an issue - the built-in NIC will crash the system if it is placed under heavy load (typically downloading data), whilst the PCI express NIC will crash the system if it is used for WOL. I have spent some time investigating these individual problems, to no avail.
My plan is thus: use the built-in NIC solely for WOL, and use the PCI express card for all other network communication except WOL. Since I send the WOL Magic Packet to a specific MAC address, there is no danger of hitting the wrong NIC, but there is a danger of using the built-in NIC for general network access, overloading it and crashing the system.
Both NICs are wired to the same LAN with address space 192.168.0.0/24. The built-in ethernet card is set to have interface name eth1 and the PCI express card is eth0 in Ubuntu's udev persistent rules (so they stay the same upon reboot).
I have been trying to set this up with the /etc/network/interfaces file. Here is where I am currently:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
I think by not specifying a gateway for eth1, I prevent it being used for outgoing requests. I don't mind if it can be reached on 192.168.0.254 on the LAN, i.e. via SSH -- it's IP is irrelevant to WOL, which is based on MAC addresses -- I just don't want it to be used to access internet resources.
My kernel routing table (from route -n) is
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
My question is this: Is this sufficient for what I want to achieve? My research has thrown up the idea of using static routing to specify that eth1 should only be used for WOL on the local network, but I'm not sure this is necessary.
I have been monitoring the activity of the interfaces using iptraf and it seems like eth0 takes the vast majority of the packets, though I am not sure that this will be consistent based on my configuration. Given that if I mess up the configuration, my system will likely crash, it is important to me to have this set up correctly!
O/S: Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS
Drive: Lite-On SATA CD/DVD Burner, DS-8A4S
Motherboard: Supermicro x8ste
Booting from the CD/DVD works fine, but the installer fails to detect the drive.
How can I set and limit the resolution in Ubuntu 12 to 640x480
There's not much in the xorg.conf file anymore, so I'm guessing this is no longer the place to do it?
I can't do it using the GUI either because it doesn't show me the 640x480 option.
While setting the resolution the computer is connected to a normal screen
but later it will be connected to a screen that only supports 640x480 and doesn't report its supported modes to the computer.
The only thing in my xorg.conf (by default) is this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
Hello Geeks,
We are using all the desktop ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04, we are looking same thing like system resorting to back date like windows feature. Around 500 desktop and 79 server we want to setup. Thanks
I can't seem to find a guide or reference on how to configure the 'indicator-applet' (aka MessagingMenu) that came about in the 9.04 release of Ubuntu. It's that little mail icon that lists messaging apps.
I can find docs about what it should do, people complaining about how it works, references that the API changed in 9.10, but not much on how to change the configuration.
The MessagingMenu design spec page says that the config file should be at $HOME/.config/indicators/messages/applications/, but there's nothing there on my install (9.10).
Hello all,
we are 100% Linux user across the network and we do work round clock, what happens shift change next admin come to his shift on that time what all issues comes he get resolve the issues but they just clear history from terminal. If we want record every at terminal what they have done to resolve the same issues or we can monitor as well, for trouble ticket we have internal OTRS which they update for reporting.
Thanks ton
On Ubuntu Server I've written a c++ program which launches another process which is in python. The c++ process runs fine on startup but the python process never launches. It gets created and when I run "top" I can see that both process's are running but next to the one that says python it reads python defunct. I've created the startup script in /etc/init.d and updated rc.d. Is there something else I have to do in order for it to see the python application?
Since to ubuntu 10.04 upgrade move of my drop-down menus have been dark-on-dark text, which becomes readable (changed background) when selected. I don't know what's causing this but it's a problem on Ambience and Radiance both. Any hints?
Hi, usually when I boot into Ubuntu 9.10 nowadays, I get a terminal only (no desktop, etc) asking me to login. Once I do, I still only have terminal access. It takes somewhere between 3 - 10 restarts to get it to boot up normally. If anyone has an idea of what's going on, I'd appreciate any help.
Hello all
I am having problems with the refresh rate if the screen .
In the the refresh mode of the monitor in the monitor options have only one option 60Hz.
I have LG 24 + ATI Radon 3870. And already installed the ati driver via ubuntu download centre.
Any idea how i solve that one ?
Thanks.
On Windows I use an AutoHotKey script to tile the active window to the left half of the screen, the right half, or a few other options.
Does Ubuntu/Gnome have a program that would allow me to do that?
If not, do you have an idea how to create this programmatically, or at least can point me to a resource?

I know this is a lame cheap web camera, thus making it all the harder for me to find information about it.
Ubuntu seems to recognise it, putting it in as /dev/video0 Skype is able to see that the web cam is there, but can not get any picture data. Flash doesn't even pick up that the web cam exists.
I feel foolish asking such a lame question... but any help will be cool beans!
Is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and W7.vhd? If anyone knows please tell me how.
if you can answer to [email protected] would be perfect. Thanks
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my new Dell Studio.
The wifi doesn't connect.
How do I make the wifi work. And what other problems exist, and how can I correct them.
Thanks in advance.
