I hate to do this but:

Please? Anyone?

Hi all,

I have a VPN router at an office that I want to connect to. On my mac, all I do is input the IP address, pre-shared key and my user name and password and hey-presto, it works.

When I...

Thanks for that... I got it to work but I can't remember how now... after a couple of revert-upgrade-revert-upgrade cycles it started working... It was a serious pain though. If it happens again I'll...

Check user groups and stuff like that. I removed an "sftp" group that I had created and it fixed the problem.

Hi all,

I have a Brother MFC-5860CN and noticed that finally in 10.04 they added proper print-settings dialogues to Ubuntu! Well done! Unfortunately, these do not appear to work properly: my...

Hi All,

I just did quite a big apt-get upgrade and some weird things have started happening on my Sheeva Plug running debian squeeze (yes, I know these are Ubuntu Fora but hey =]).

Anyway,...

The problem with winemenubuilder is that you have to user wineprefix stuff and all that e.g.:


export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine; find $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c\: -name "*.lnk" -exec wine winemenubuilder...

I've found that 10.04 works perfectly for me. No bugs whatsoever and it has been better than anything I've had previously: no user switch bug, no sound config problems, no flash problems...
Much...

Hi All,

I know that there are posts on here describing various methods for sharing a wine installation across the system but I haven't managed to get them to work (you'd think that this is...

Hi All,

I am having a truly bizarre problem when trying to set up my sheeva plug as a backup server. I have four users (one for each member of my family) that I want to give permission to ssh in...

The HFS+ support in linux is beyond dodgy. It's a pile of rubbish.
I cannot remember how I got my HFS+ disks to mount as rw but there's a guide on here somewhere I think. Since I have not actually...

Since no-one seems to have a solution to this, is there no way to use journaled HFS+ disks on linux? The journaling should solve this problem.

I tried using the force option but it still mounts as read-only.

To combat the question "Why are you using HFSPlus", the reason is because the file server acts as my TimeMachine backup for my mac...

I've tried mounting it and looking at the files and there seems to be no problem with that. The disk is not journaled so I don't know why I can mount it as read-only but not as read/write. I read...

Hi all,

I have a SheevaPlug which I use as a home file-server and effective "TimeCapsule" for when I'm abroad. The SheevaPlug is permanently on, obviously, but we recently had a power cut (it was...

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll investigate.

This is true, I'll try it. Is it relatively stable et cetera?

Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate the company I work for to a completely open source system. In order to do this I have to find an alternative to their current inventory management / accounting...

Hi all,

I have a Dell Poweredge 2600 with only a floppy drive and external SCSI CD-ROM. I've tried to get the thing to boot from the cd-rom but to no avail so I've been trying to get PXE booting...

I know the aren't, I use to use cyberduck all the time until I bought Coda which does all my SFTP for me. I still use it occasionally to connect to the servers at the company I'm working in. I was...

Thanks for the reply Lars.

I've been messing around with Ubuntu Server and managed to get afp working. What I meant more than using something like Cyberduck or Transmit et cetera is a system like...

Hi all,

I just purchased one of Marvell's Sheeva Plugs in order to make it easy for me to back up all my files using OSX's Time Machine and also to access files at home from wherever I am. What I...

I have a similar problem. Upgraded to jaunty and now xsane refuses to let me scan. It says "invalid argument" when trying to connect to my Brother MFC 5860CN.
Printing does work, however, so I'm...

I don't know if I can be bothered with a fresh install. I've always found Ubuntu a little volatile and sensitive so I don't want to change anything since it all works at the moment.
The hassle of...

I've found everything to be much slower, especially login times and compiz effects e.g. opening firefox was horrendously delayed and choppy.
This hasn't got anything to do with the computer, since...
