I've got SSH set up on my home server to allow private-key authentication only to log on. Can Sudo be configured to re-check the authentication key instead of prompting for a password? Or would there...

Thank you, Bachstelze. When I'm ready to invest in hardware, I think I would prefer to use a proper smart card; however, your tutorial will be a big help. In fact, I wasn't aware that my country (the...

I use PKI login for SSH on my home and work. I use a DSA key on a USB memory stick. Since I don't have smart card hardware at either location -- and setting this up entails a lot of research that I...

Well, this is embarrassing. Turns out the alternate installer didn't add the libs for wifi support, so the driver wasn't going to do much! I copied the packages for wireless-tools and libiw30 with a...

I tried that change, too, but I'm afraid I'm still stuck. No /dev/eth* or /dev/w*. Thanks anyway.

Thank you, Bill, but no such luck I'm afraid.

This is what dmesg tells me after removing and re-inserting the module (having added the entries you mention in the other thread to /etc/modules and...

Thanks a lot for your help so far. To answer your questions:

1. It's a Tenda w311u. The chipset is supported by the rt2870sta module.
2. According to links I found, this hardware is sometimes not...

I have a USB WiFi adapter that my Ubuntu desktop install (10.10) automatically detects, and it works great. I just used the alternate installer to set up an old box as a server, and it doesn't...

That was it! Thanks, Quackers; you're my new best friend!

I recently upgraded to a bigger hard disk. I used CloneZilla to copy my 150GB ext3 /home partition on my Ubuntu system to a shiny new 800GB ext3 /home partition. However, I've filled it up to almost...

I've got a shell script set up that does exactly what I want to do when executed from the command line. I set up a launcher that points to it, but it gives me odd results. It's as if an environment...

Thanks for the tip. Well, maybe the better plan is to use a network-capable media player and leave my file server as is.

I'd like to set up my file server to act as a USB mass storage device for another device (A DVD player that can read from USB) hooked up by a USB link cable. That is to say, I'd like to run a USB...

Thanks for the info! I almost didn't mention that it was an adapted CF card since it's supposed to be transparent to the OS.

I found that there's a kernel parameter to specify the drive geometry...

I just got an Asus M2N-VM DVI motherboard with nForce 630a chipset. I've connected a Syba CompactFlash->SATA adapter to it with an 8GB CompactFlash card. The BIOS correctly shows it as an 8GB card....

I've got some files that should be available to all users on my system -- source code, ultimately to go in a CVS repository, and media files. My personal files go into /home/(my user name), but where...

I'd like to have a Video4Linux driver that can take my other Video4Linux devices, such as a webcam and a video capture card, and switch between them. For example, if I wanted to switch between a...
