  1. Re: Samba - Accessible from Linux but not Windows XP

    Hello, and thanks for your reply. I was have been playing around with my server's firewall settings, and messing around with Samba's configuration file, and now it seems to work on my Windows box....
  2. Samba - Accessible from Linux but not Windows XP

    Hi everyone.

    I'm trying to get Samba or NFS running. I think I was in way over my head with getting NFS to work from Windows, so I tried Samba.

    The Samba server is on a dedicated box, and I can...

    Hello, and happy new year!

    I was wondering how to login via SSH for servers that require a username that is formatted "username@domain.tld". The issue I have here is that (to my knowledge), the...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: Adding the latest JRE to Java alternatives

    Fantastic! The guide was exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

    Just out of interest, how did you find it? I've spent hours googling, and never came across it. The problem was that it wasn't...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: Adding the latest JRE to Java alternatives

    I do "need" the latest version. I play a game called Runescape, and the latest version fixes a bug that allows me to use Open GL with the Java applet, which means the game will no longer crash...
  7. [ubuntu] Adding the latest JRE to Java alternatives

    Hi everyone. I have a relatively simple question.

    I've downloaded the latest Java, extracted it, and moved it to /usr/lib/jvm/ but I've no idea how to get that in to my Java alternatives so I it's...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Hi. Sorry for my delayed reply, I got very busy and completely forgot about this post. I can confirm that both Kubuntu/Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu server both now check for directories such as /bin and...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Using DVDs works out very expensive, in both time and cash. 200GB of data would require over 40 DVDs (or 286 CDs), which is more than I can afford for a while to come. Also, at about 15-20 minutes...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    I agree. However, I hate seeing space go to waste. I've had a similar partitioning scheme to that before, but as I am not David Blaine, I could not be certain how much space I would actually use on...

    Fudgesticles! I was about to look that page up on my laptop, but since I updated Linux last night and shut it down, it now dumps me at the grub CLI, and I don't have any boot options... I blame the...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Thanks for your response. It's similar to something I did previously (see above), but the installer started whining about certain files that it couldn't overwrite, or something of that elk.

    I...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Quite simply because my 200 or so GB of /home data on my server will not fit on my 40GB desktop drive, no matter how much squeezing I do.

    My server is not entirely shared content, in fact, part of...

    [ubuntu] Re: Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Unfortunately, I am very low on drive space. :(

    I think your method would only work if the /home directory was on a separate partition. The reason I asked is that the Kubuntu CD actually saw the...

    [ubuntu] Preserve /home dir on reinstall

    Hi everyone. I am running 8.04 server, and I need to do a fresh install, but I don't have anywhere to back up my /home dir, and the /home dir is in the root partition.

    I recently reinstalled...

    Thanks for your help. It's still being a real painus in the anus. Everything works with either no xorg.conf, or the standard one generated by dpkg-reconfure, (by works, I mean the resolution is still...

    [kubuntu] Re: Turn a dir into a file?

    I was under the impression that you needed to concatenate using a double right-cheverons ">>" (to append). If that is the case, I believe it's unlikely that this has happened. That is, of course,...

    [kubuntu] Re: Turn a dir into a file?

    The only thing I can suggest (and I am no expert), is to open the console and type:



    sudo touch /forcefsck


    which will do a file system check on your next reboot. Reboot, and go and put the...

    What version of Firefox are you running? Have you recently upgraded it, or added any extensions? Can you confirm that it's not a problem with your Window manager i.e. it's not happening with other...

    [kubuntu] Re: Turn a dir into a file?

    I'm not undermining your intelligence, but for the sake of clarity, please could you post the output of "ls -la" on the directory/file in question, or rather the directory it resides within? Thanks.

    [ubuntu] Re: Help! Firefox just went nuts!

    Yeah, I had heaps of trouble getting Firebug to work with Firefox 3. I have actually manage to get them installed side-by-side. Are you able to run "firefox-2" from the console? In my case,...

    Sorry, it didn't work. I'm still missing the resolutions in my xorg.conf, although it has added some stuff which was needed.

    I have an unbranded monitor, so I don't know what vertical refresh rate...

    [ubuntu] Re: Help! Firefox just went nuts!

    It sounds to me like you may have installed an extension that's messing with Firefox, possibly because the XUL code is not valid (or something like that).

    A good start might be to shut down...
