Hey!

Can anyone help me with suggestions for a good choice of software stack on my hard drives that achieves the following:

* RAID-like redundancy
* Encryption
* Modern filesystem features...

I'm considering buying a proper, quality sound card for my computer. Features high on my wish list are:

1. Excellent Linux support. All of it "just works".
2. Lots of output ports, which work...

Thank you!

I have a well-aged Ubuntu installation which I don't want to lose for a complete re-installation. When I installed Ubuntu, I chose not to encrypt home directories. I have now changed my mind and want...

Edit: Never mind, found the answer. ${upspeed} and ${downspeed}

Is it possible to have the following network info as text in conky? Current speed of network traffic in and out. In practical terms,...

Thanks for the suggestion! That's actually what I've been doing (except I used fstab) while trying to work out a better solution.

The problem with this solution is that it's cumbersome to share...

Bumping this. To recap, when browsing an sftp mount, opening symlinks on the host are just transmitting the links, not the file to which the links point.

There's an option to follow symlinks when...

Hey!

I want to share some files with a friend. I've set up a limited user account on my computer ("server") running Kubuntu 12.04 and my friend's computer ("client") runs Ubuntu 12.04.

On the...

Thanks for you reply.

Yes, that works. I am able to log in from a client that is outside of the lan, but not from a client within the lan when using the external address.

I guess the router...

Bumping this because I have the exact same problem.

I have one local server, one local client and one remote client. I am able to login in to the server from the server itself, from the local...

Hey! I wonder if the following is possible in KDE/Kubuntu. I think it's the ideal behavior of an DE for me as far as password handling goes.

I want the action of logging in or unlocking the screen...

I added this to my crontab at a headless, remote server, so that I get confirmation once every morning that it's up and online, and how to reach it:


echo Internal `ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet...

According to the bug-tracker linked to, the problem has been fixed in the latest kernels (3.3). Next Ubuntu release will use kernel 3.2, so it remains to be seen when this bug no longer affects us...

Same here. It starts out at 30 MByte/s until cache fills up, then it goes down to a few hundred kByte/s. What's even more annoying is that the whole system stops to a crawl: Every 5-10 seconds almost...

Back in the Gnome2 days I never actually used the panel. AWN or Docky, Gnome-do and Compiz was my preferred interface. I don't like either Unity or Gnome Shell, but seeing as I didn't even use the...

Thank you! That was well explained and cleared the confusion.

Hi!

I know there are several components that make up whatever it is that appears on my GUI. How can I tell exactly what's currently running on my desktop right now? I know I'm running XFCE...

I have a similar problem with the same motherboard. When I try to either suspend or hibernate, I only get a black screen with a white blinking cursor and no suspend or hibernate action is completed....

Hm. Wrong forum, perhaps.

Hi, I wonder if this is possible/easy/practical to do in Ubuntu:

I want to have one computer serve two sets of monitors and inputs in two different (adjacent) rooms. The computer and one monitor...

I have a problem with Samba (mounted with CIFS).

I'm downloading stuff at computer A (Windows XP) by uTorrent, sharing the folder over the network while the files are still being seeded, and...

Yep, that worked. Cheers!

My computer wouldn't come out of sleep mode, so I had to shut it down improperly. Now there's no ethernet network connection. The NIC works as I can start the computer by wake-on-lan, but somehow...

I seem to have lost my entire library after upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10. I guess I could just rebuild it, but I kind of liked having the statistics I had built up.

Anyone else arrive to an empty...

Well, I know that's how they do it in Windows country, but for me that is simply out of the question. A properly designed OS should never have to be reinstalled.
