What is the purpose of sudo -i? What is the need for elevated permissions? Or is this only required for backing up directories that are not directly accessible to you from your logged in...

FYI, you don't have to delete the entire ~/.thumbnails directory, just the failed ones, so just delete the files in ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory. This way, your computer doesn't have...

Ok, so looking in to this further, I tried to print a simple pic. This is what ps faux gave me:


USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 2270 0.0 ...

Getting it to install is one thing, but to get it to actually print something is entirely different. So I installed the drivers, plugged in the printer, and voila it self installs, but when I try...

Oh, yeah, Cisco is quite different. I am not using Cisco, I'm using the MS VPN. But thanks for the help.

If anyone else has any ideas, that would be great!

Thanks,

But why would I need to do this? On XP this is not necessary and it is on the same network as this linux box and there is no problem what so ever.

How do I do this? Don't recall seeing anything about this when looking into VPN.

Um, isn't that Ciccos? I'm using "Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)" which is "Compatible with Microsoft and other PPTP VPN servers".

As for what ports...? I have no idea... actually, I'm...

No, that is why I said it works great under the VBOX WinXP. This is running WITHIN my Ubuntu.

Oh VPN also it fracks up my internet connection. Makes it go slower than molasses. :(

BTW, I am using 9.10 Karmic Koala, PPTP, disabled all authentication except MSCHAPv2 and have tried using all manner of combinations of selection of checkboxes under Security and Compression.

I've...

Hi, I was trying to connect to my machine over the internet through a VPN. I was able to connect, with a fairly high ping (30-40 ms), then when I use Terminal Service Client to connect, just the...

Cool, that worked! BUT, it was PAIN-FUL-LY EX-CRU-CI-AT-ING-LY SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW compared to my VWinXP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND it crashed.

Is this normal? The VPN connects, but...

Hello, Windows (XP and 7 at least) come with a RPD (remote desktop) software already installed. Can I connect to that somehow? And if so, how?

I though that NOMACHINE was the answer, but I think...

Oh nice. Had to pull out the other crap I put in, and this dropped in, in less than a day! You (and the page's author) are AWESOME!!

:guitar: lol, funny, I look something like that. :D

Ahh, well, hmmm. Had a Magic Quotes warning, so I found the php.ini file and turned it off ( /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ), when the warning didn't go away, I restarted the apache server, and poof, no...

I'm having the same problem. Have you found the solution?

Man, if that was easy setup, I hate to see hard! ](*,):lolflag:

I was experimenting with the mouse dwell click and gestures on Ubuntu 9.10 and found that they didn't work. I went to System->Preferences->Mouse->Accessibility Tab to set these settings.

Is there...

Yeah, I could do all that, but it seems really overkill for an internal mail server. I would like a minimalist install if possible.

Ok I'm trying to make it so that my Ubuntu box can act as an email server. So I read and executed the instructions flawlessly as stated by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Exim4. I've pasted the...

I think the problem is my driver as I was trying to get better performance from my video card by getting another driver. But instead, it really messed up my local login to the point that I cannot...

I'm new to Ubuntu, but I've seen how scale is supposed to work with Scale Window Title Filter on YouTube. I can't seem to get it to work.

I press Alt-Shift-up and it will show me into the scaled...

I've gotten this error too and I've just installed the OS. :(
