Wonderful, thanks! I wasn't able to find this documentation anywhere. Where did you find it?

I'm trying to setup a server on our LAN as an IPv6 router. The LAN already has IPv6 connectivity via an IPv6 gateway/router. The server provides several services over IPv6 that the clients use...

I want to run forked-daapd on my server but it seems to conflict with MPD. Specifically, it fails with the following log output:


[ LOG] mpd: Could not create connection listener for mpd...

I'm looking for a windows manager that is well suited for (small) touch screens and no keyboard. In particular, I find it very difficult to operate a touch screen when a window manager uses slider...

I realize this is an old post, but something caught my eye:



According to man exportfs:



So maybe it will work if you simply remove the square brackets.

A while back I stumbled across this script: http://www.tc.mtu.edu/ipv6/wide_mkduid.pl when I searched for a DUID algorithm, but it doesn't generate the DUIDs that my own system assigns to its...

Yes, IPv6 includes the MAC addresses as part of the DUID, but the DUID contains more than that. I'm interested in knowing an actual algorithm or similar for calculating the DUID.


I do this for...

I've setup a server for fixed DHCPv6 addresses for a number of clients using the Client DUID that appears in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-*.lease when the client first connects. I'm using the ISC DHCP...

I'm not worried about the kernel update; it's common for kernel packages to be held back for a day or two waiting for dependencies to propagate to the download mirrors.

Everything is working fine...

No errors, no warnings, nothing. Not after unticking all but the essentials and apt-get update/upgrade, nor after re-ticking everything followed by another apt-get update/upgrade. (That is, except...

No, but for some reason I'm not allowed to edit my profile details. I went from 11.10 to 12.04.

I don't need to run it right now, and in fact the problem has been around for weeks. I discovered it when a package didn't get fully installed and I attempted to catch up with dpkg-reconfigure. It...

returns almost immediately with no error messages or anything. (This, and the behavior of dpkg-reconfigure, makes me worry that maybe the dpkg database is broken on my system, but I have no idea how...

When I upgraded our computers to 12.04 in May, all of the upgrades went smoothly, except (maybe?) on two of them where suddenly dpkg-reconfigure isn't working.

When I execute dpkg-reconfigure -a,...

And so, version 0.83rc1 of the libcgroup1 package is now available as a PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~ole.wolf/+archive/libcgroup. Note that this package include the daemons otherwise found in the...

Bingo. According to some emails on the libcg development list, the rules engine daemon doesn't handle symbolic links properly.

Hopefully the fix will be included soon in the Ubuntu repositories;...

I got a little closer to the reason why the rules daemon fails. I notized that with unzip instead of unrar, the process is recognized and reclassified. The reason seems to be that unrar is part of...

I can't get the cgred daemon, which applies control group rules, to work.

My cgroup environment appears to be fine; at least cgexec applies the proper control groups as expected. However, the...

I want to set up a computer for wake on lan, but I have a rather strange problem: I can wake-up my computer only sometimes when it has been shut down from Ubuntu 12.04 (i386 desktop).

I'm shutting...

I've created a package that I'm sure will be useful for other people in my country.

A short background: for better or for worse, we're required to use a centralized authentication server for...

Absolutely. Thanks!

I currently have only a small number of external sites that require a different DNS service, so it is not a big deal to enter the sites individually. Nevertheless, is it...

I have a running name server with a couple of DNS forwarders.

If possible, how do I configure the name server so that for some addresses, the server uses a certain selection of DNS forwarders...

I decided to set up my own LDAP server, and with full debug logging, it looks like Evolution doesn't even connect to the server. I've filed a bug report on it.

I'm trying to add an LDAP directory to Evolution, but Evolution doesn't honor my searches.

The directory is searchable from the command line, e.g.:


ldapsearch -x -h crtdir.certifikat.dk -b...

It would probably work if the certificate authority wasn't violating several security issues. In this case, however, I can't simply import the certificate.

The "security device" is a piece of...
