How do you have name resolution setup? The way DNS works is when resolving non-fully qualified domain names, you append the argument to 'search' or 'domain' in your /etc/resolv.conf file. That is...

Those log files are just text files. You can use any text editor to open them:


cat /var/log/messages

less /var/log/messages

vim /var/log/messages

gedit /var/log/messages

So, it sounds like Ubuntu is running on a laptop? What hardware? It is possible that some hardware could be failing, and causing the kernel to panic, which would give a total hard lock like you're...

You can get a refund for Windows Vista. I did on my T61. If you don't activate the copy, call your hardware manufacturer, and tell them you would like a refund. You'll end up calling a few numbers,...

You don't. PAE doesn't give 64-bit functionality to the kernel. It only allows the kernel to address more RAM, and thus expand the user/kernel splits that must take place. If you don't see the 'lm'...

The 'lamp-server' packages not a package that I see in the main Ubuntu repos, or in the Canonical partner repo. Is this coming from a 3rd party repository that you have in your sources.lst?

If you...

Xen is installed into grub, and looks like a linux kernel. You may have to configure grub to tell it to use the Xen kernel as the default, and not a Linux kernel.

However, unless this is a...

I'd only be concerned about disk space, if you have /var on a separate partition. If so, then reporting disk space take two commands, not one:


df -h

df -i

If /var is full, it could out of...

I too am noticing the sinusoidal networking behavior as is a coworker of mine. We both have T61 laptops with the Intel gigabit NIC. Any info in this would be appreciated. It does not happen on...

I like the browser, but it misses the mark on a few things.

First, proxies. I *must* have a proxy in my browser, so I can tunnel my http:// traffic and DNS traffic away from public networks...

I need to know if the Ubuntu kernel has XFS ACLs compiled in. I installed support for XFS, but setfacl shows "operation not supported", and when mounting manually with the 'acl' mount option, 'dmesg...

So, an update that fixes a security vulnerability isn't worth the time? Just wait 6 months, and maybe it will be fixed then? Is that what I'm seeing?

Looks good. I like it!

tar -xf ActivePython-2.5.2.2-liunx-x86-tar.gz
cd ActivePython-2.5.2.2-linux-x86
sh install.sh

Done!

What files are you trying to edit, what are the permmions of those files, and what user are you using for the attempt?

I am not clear if Windows is installed on the machine, or not. If so, I would follow Zimmer's suggestion. If not, I would pull up a terminal in Ubuntu, and type the following with the W2K disk in...

Will you get hacked? Not likely. Then again, what data are you hosting that an attacker would want? Consider the practicalities before considering the theoretical. Think of it this way: if you...

Are you looking to install something instead? Windows or some other version of GNU/Linux? Does the computer dual-boot? What are we looking at here?

It's not an old version of KDE. It's CDE, the Common Desktop Environment, usually installed on IBM AIX, HP/UX or Sun Solaris. Based on the color scheme, I'd say it's likely running on Solaris.

Irssi coupled with BitlBee behind OpenSSH. True love.

Hey all, my name is Aaron Toponce. I'm one of the Ubuntu US guys, and I'm coming for a Pittsburgh visit July 6th through July 11th. Looking to meet the western part of the team, hang out, and see...

Preseed needs a lot of work. From my point of view, Kickstart is much more mature, flexible and user-friendly. Further, Kickstart is documented through the nose. Preseed has maybe a dozen sites on...

This is the nature of caching on your browser. You can configure your browser to turn this feature off, but it's considerably faster to load pages if you leave caching on.

It would make most sense to do this with two servers, one running Netfilter, the other running Squid. As such, first make sure the Squid box is setup as a transparent proxy (assuming the box is on...

Can you boot from a LiveCD or another boot media with the new CPU?
