I am using MySQL server on Ubuntu 10.04 and after changing the bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to my webserver IP in /etc/mysql/my.cnf the mysql server fails to load. Any clues will be highly appreciated!
I have tried disabling iptables but useless
Thanks,
Hi guys,
This is a bit of a silly question, how do I run Thunderbird 3 which I downloaded? Well, I can get it to run by executing the 'thunderbird' shell script file. However that creates a terminal windows aswell and will close Thunderbird if it is closed.
How do I get it to open without the terminal?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running Ubuntu 9.10.
Hi, i download zip file that i made in windows from gmail to ubuntu Downloads/.

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 in a new server and set up the 4 hard drives with 3 RAID 1 devices, the configuration is such that the first two drives have md0 (swap space) and md1 (/) with the third and fourth drives having md2 (/var).
I've been testing the operation under a drive failure and found that the system boots fine if I remove disk two but if I remove disk one then the system gets to grub and then just restarts. I'm confused as to why grub appears to be loading properly from disk two but then the boot fails.
On CentOS exists the yum versionlock option, where you can lock a package to a specific version, so it is never upgraded past that.
I would like that
puppet-server-2.7.19-1
puppet-2.7.19-1
stays on 2.7, and never upgraded to 3.0. Puppet Labs have released 3.0 and put it into the stable repo, so 2.7 will get upgraded to 3.0, which is not backwards compatible.
Does Ubuntu have something similar to yum versionlock?
Hi,
A bit embarrassing as I thought I knew how to use Ubuntu until I stumble on a basic task!
I have named a connection I added to the bookmarks on the Places menu incorrectly and I have no idea how to edit it!
Thanks.
I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it's own partition. Once in a while I would like to start it as a guest OS under Windows XP.
While it starts and working fine, I can't login with gdm, after I enter login and password, X crashes and I'm at login prompt again. I can login with console just fine.
Is there anything I can do prevent X from crashing?
I am trying to paste some files from my laptop to desktop. both have ubuntu. From the laptop I can see the desktop under Places - Network. I can see the files in the Desktop but when I try to paste a file it says "permission denied"
What can I do on the Desktop so it allows my laptop to paste files?
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.
My goal is to create an install disk which will install ubuntu with a specific suite of packages. Then use and re-use to initialize multiple systems for reproducing regression testing test bed scenarios.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1. When I try to update & upgrade I get the following error:
Setting up install-info (4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1) ...
/etc/environment: line 4: LC-ALL=en_US.UTF-8: command not found
dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
install-info
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Hi,
Im relatively new to Ubuntu, Im wondering how easy it is to write what I think is called a shell script to make tasks a little easier.
For example I frequently connect to a server - ssh -p 123 [email protected]
Can and how could I shorten this to a shorter command like "mysite" or "connect mysite"
Thanks.
Mac and Windows Vista have such pretty user interfaces with all the transparencies and stuff. Is there anything for Ubuntu Linux to improve the way it looks?
I'm using VMware Studio 2 to create virtual appliances.
Now we want to make an appliance of a 64 bit Ubuntu distro, but it's not in the template list, like Redhat 64bit and CentOS 64bit.
Is there a way to do this?
Is that possible to organize nightly builds at Ubuntu Server using MSVC++ compiler?
I mean is it possible to install Visual Studio 2008 and run msbuild.exe in Wine by scheduler to compile C++ solutions?
EDIT: I have used VirtualBox with Win7 in in. It works fine.
Hi Guys,
I upgraded to 64bit ubuntu and every now and again (quite often though) i am unable to to type into the search box for google in chrome and firefox, i havent tried other browsers as these are the 2 i primarily use.
Has anyone else experienced this? any solutions?
also i'm unable to drag the slider in youtube (in firefox) to scan through videos.
I have read this article:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
But it doesn't go into depth with the privileges section.
I need to know how to set privileges of me (as a user).
I am the only user, but I want access to everything, but I don't want to manage my VPS logged in as root. So I am creating a username.
Anybody have a list of privileges, what they mean and how to set them?
Thanks
I have an Ubuntu Virtualbox guest with two network interface, eth0 (NAT) and eth1 (bridged).
I want to connect to a PPTP VPN using eth1, but I don't know how to specify which interface to use. If i just try:
sudo pon myvpn nodetach
It fails with:
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.
Looking at routes with route seems to indicate that eth0 is being used:
x.x.x.x.no 10.0.2.2 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
Hi everyone,
Im just wondering what everyone's experiences are with the latest Ubuntu 10.04 version? Is it stable enough for a working environment?
I require it for web development, so using VMs, IDEs, connecting to VPNs, SSH to servers, etc.
Im currently using 9.04 and found 9.10 unstable and problematic at times (such as problems connecting to VPN)
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
