Creating local archives on each of the client machines would remove all of the benefits of using rsync. I have only part of the full set on each client, so I'm attempting to sync the full set onto...

hmm I was afraid of that. My idea was

find . -name "file*" -exec rsync {} server:/backup/ \;

but I just felt like there had to be a better/faster way than that.

I have several copies of a file set with different organizational structures, but the same files.
i.e.
On client1 files can be found in ~\foo\bar\file1, ~\foo\bar\file2, ~foo\tavern\file3,...

I've got a shared folder that a number of different users adding pictures to on a regular basis. I'd really like an easy way to browse these pictures from another computer. Currently I've been...

So I noticed something in the output of apt-build, and this seems to occur with every package I can catch a glimpse at this:

try setting /home to the chrooted directory. Then ensure that each /home/username is owned by that user and you could give that 700 permissions if you like.

Another option would be to chroot them...

Glad we were able to help, and that your errors weren't so hard to fix. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!

Don't forget to mark it Solved when you're satisfied ;)

well, isn't this interesting:

Actually, when you ping, you're checking for a server, not a specific webpage. So, if you want to ping a server, just remove the http:// (you're pinging, not using HyperText Transfer Protocol) and...

This thread was actually looking to do more specific chrooting than you.

You should have no problem doing what you want:
i.e by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config and adding

I have a drive formatted with NTFS, and named using utf8 characters. When mounted by the system it replaces all unicode with '?' in the drive name. However, it does a fine job handling unicode within...

You can do most of what you're looking for from within the sshd config files. For example:
editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config
after the line

For a future reference, it seems to me polkit-gnome-authorization isn't default in 9.10. I didn't have it on my (relatively) fresh install. About the only thing I've removed is Evolution.

are you trying to restrict access from someone who sits down at the computer using a graphical session, or are we talking someone using SSH for a console?

huzah! Now wait a couple days for the next update to push through, and cross your fingers. Let's hope everything stays clean and clear.

I like the idea of using the Ubuntu community to leverage faster downloading. I think I'll give that a shot. If I were to use apt-p2p, would I be able to keep 2 sources.list, one with the localhost...

Just noticed that DropBox client also seems to have rather slow connections. It would seem that all low-level traffic is really choked. Any way to track how things like apt connect to the internet...

First thing I tried. I've used about a dozen different servers, and none give better results.
Currently I'm using a server that's housed at a local college. I've got quick ping times to the server,...

It may have something to do with my recent installation and removal of tor, but I can't narrow down when exactly it began. I'm getting no better than about 5000B/s download rates for apt. This means...

I've been through that. Three times, actually. I discarded all my old 5.25's my 3.5's and when the last tape drive jammed, it went for $1.50 at a garage sale. I think they bought it for parts.

I suppose that's my main problem, I guess it's simply not worth the time for me to tackle it the TRUE archival way.

I'm running out of hard drive space.

I've been playing around upgrading a few things, and I've begun to see errors in strange places. Deluge (installed from source 1.2.1) complains about starting the core and gives an error log ending...

hi wimduk,
I'm so glad it helped you, too!
From what I understand about my particular problem, is that the issue is driver and application dependent, rather than the fault of ubuntu. The gspca...
