[125002440010] |<title>How to Install the Eternity Screensaver in Ubuntu</title>
[125002440020] |The Eternity Screensaver plays animations of ray-traced scenes which took days or even weeks to generate.
[125002440030] |The reasoning is that these clips should look more impressive than anything which can be generated on-the-fly.
[125002440040] |Eternity consists of a main package called eternity-screensaver and a number of plugins which add more animations.
[125002440050] |<strong>Install Eternity Screensaver</strong>
[125002440060] |Install the key using the following commands
[125002440070] |<code>gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 9B1DB022</code>
[125002440080] |<code>gpg --export --armor 9B1DB022 | sudo apt-key add -</code>
[125002440090] |Edit your APT sources file
[125002440100] |sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[125002440110] |Add the following lines
[125002440120] |# Eternity Screensaver deb http://parker1.co.uk/apt feisty main deb-src http://parker1.co.uk/apt feisty main
[125002440130] |Save and Exit the file
[125002440140] |To install the screensavers use the following command
[125002440150] |sudo apt-get update
[125002440160] |sudo apt-get install eternal-ubuntu
[125002440170] |<strong>For Ubuntu Satanic Edition Users</strong>
[125002440180] |If you are using Ubuntu Satanic Edition use the following command to install screen savers
[125002440190] |sudo apt-get install eternal-damnation
[125002440200] |Run the Screensaver selection tool
[125002440210] |<strong>For GNOME Users</strong>
[125002440220] |* go to: System->Preferences->Screensaver
[125002440230] |<strong>For KDE Users</strong>
[125002440240] |* Right-click the desktop and select “Configure Desktop…”
[125002440250] |The screensavers are called Eternity, Eternal Ubuntu, Eternal Damnation.

[125002440270] |<strong>Sample Screen Savers</strong>
[125002450010] |<title>Howto Check you external IP Address from the command line</title>
[125002450020] |You know about the possibility to find out your IP Address by using visiting the site whatismyip.com .
[125002450030] |For this, you need the packages wget, grep and sed so make sure you have them by checking for them in Synaptic or running the following in a terminal
[125002450040] |sudo apt-get install wget grep sed
[125002450050] |Then, as long as whatismyip.com prints out the IP-Address in the HTML page title, you can use this.
[125002450060] |Create shell script
[125002450070] |cd ~
[125002450080] |mkdir bin
[125002450090] |vi bin/whatismyip.sh
[125002450100] |Insert the following lines into the file
[125002450110] |#!/bin/bash
[125002450120] |echo Your external IP Address is: <code>wget http://Www.whatismyip.com -O - -o /dev/null | grep '<TITLE>' | sed -r 's/<TITLE>WhatIsMyIP\.com \- //g' | sed -r 's/<\/TITLE>//g'</code>
[125002450130] |exit 0
[125002450140] |Save and exit the file
[125002450150] |Now you need to change the permissions using the following command
[125002450160] |chmod u+x bin/whatismyip.sh
[125002450170] |Now you can check your external IP Address by running
[125002450180] |~/bin/whatismyip.sh
[125002460010] |<title>Howto Setup a Remote Calendar using WebDAV with Mozilla Sunbird</title>
[125002460020] |Mozilla Sunbird® is a cross-platform calendar application, built upon Mozilla Toolkit.
[125002460030] |Our goal is to bring Mozilla-style ease-of-use to your calendar, without tying you to a particular storage solution.
[125002460040] |<strong>Installing the Apache Server</strong>
[125002460050] |To install the Apache Server, open up a Terminal (Applications >Accessories >Terminal)
[125002460060] |sudo apt-get install apache2
[125002460070] |Now, you have the option of changing the port your Apache Server runs on.
[125002460080] |By default it runs on port 80, which is fine if there is only one computer.
[125002460090] |But if you setup a router to forward all traffic for port 80 to one computer on your network the internet on your other computers will not work.
[125002460100] |To change the port
[125002460110] |sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[125002460120] |In the file add the following line, where “port” is whatever port you would like to use (e.g. Listen 9999) save and exit
[125002460130] |Listen port
[125002460140] |<strong>NOTE:</strong> Make sure to forward traffic on this port to your server if you have a router
[125002460150] |<strong>Enabling the WebDAV modules</strong>
[125002460160] |To enable the WebDAV modules, open up a Terminal (Applications >Accessories >Terminal)
[125002460170] |sudo a2enmod
[125002460180] |dav
[125002460190] |(press enter)
[125002460200] |sudo a2enmod
[125002460210] |dav_fs
[125002460220] |(press enter)
[125002460230] |Setting up the WebDAV folder and the user
[125002460240] |This will make a WebDAV folder at: /var/www/davhome
[125002460250] |To create the folder, open up a Terminal (Applications >Accessories >Terminal)
[125002460260] |mkdir /var/www/davhome
[125002460270] |chgrp www-data /var/www/davhome
[125002460280] |chmod 775 /var/www/davhome
[125002460290] |Next to create the user, input the following command changing the last “username” part of the command to the username you would like to use (obviously make a note of the username and password you create)
[125002460300] |htpasswd -c /var/www/davhome/.DAVlogin username
[125002460310] |Tell Apache where the folder is and to use it
[125002460320] |To tell Apache to use WebDAV, open up a Terminal (Applications >Accessories >Terminal)
[125002460330] |sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_fs.conf
[125002460340] |Paste the following into the file.Change “username” (two instances) to the username you created above.
[125002460350] |Also, the DAVMinTimeout is optional it just sets the how long Apache should lock the file after it is accessed.I don’t use it and haven’t had a problem, but then again I only have one computer accessing the calendar at any time.
[125002460360] |DAVLockDB /tmp/DAVLock #DAVMinTimeout 600
[125002460370] |<code><Location /davhome/></code> Dav On AuthType Basic AuthName username AuthUserFile /var/www/davhome/.DAVlogin <code><LimitExcept OPTIONS></code> Require user username <code></LimitExcept></code> <code></Location></code>
[125002460380] |Hopefully you didn’t exit and save yet because you have some more options.
[125002460390] |With the way the file is setup above you will be prompted for a username/password everytime you read or save a file using WebDAV.
[125002460400] |If you don’t want to be asked a password when you read a file change the first LimitExcept line to
[125002460410] |<code><LimitExcept GET OPTIONS></code>
[125002460420] |If you don’t want to be asked a password when you save a file (write) change the first LimitExcept line to
[125002460430] |<code><LimitExcept PUT OPTIONS></code>
[125002460440] |If you don’t want to be asked a password when reading or writing (not recommended unless you want to make the calendar completely public) change the first LimitExcept line to
[125002460450] |<code><LimitExcept GET PUT OPTIONS></code>
[125002460460] |Okay, now you can save and exit.
[125002460470] |<strong>Restart Apache</strong>
[125002460480] |This step is very important so that Apache recognizes the changes you made!
[125002460490] |Open up a Terminal (Applications >Accessories >Terminal)
[125002460500] |sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[125002460510] |<strong>Testing Your server</strong>
[125002460520] |Now you can either create a new calendar in Sunbird and tell it to put it on your server or publish an existing local calendar to the WebDAV folder.
[125002460530] |Just go to the calendar tab in Sunbird and right-click in the list of calendars or right-click on an existing calendar in the list.
[125002460540] |The address format you would enter for the remote calendar is as follows
[125002460550] |http://server_ip_or_hostname:port_if_not_80/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics
[125002460560] |Other Items to Note
[125002460570] |If you place an exisiting calendar file directly in /var/www/davhome, you should change the group and the rights on this file as follows
[125002460580] |sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics
[125002460590] |sudo chmod 644 /var/www/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics
[125002460600] |If Sunbird does NOT create a new .ics file, do the following and point Sunbird to that file as if it is an existing calendar:
[125002460610] |sudo touch /var/www/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics
[125002460620] |sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics
[125002460630] |sudo chmod 644 /var/www/davhome/filename_for_calendar.ics

[125002470020] |For all those who are beginners in any linux(ubuntu) find hard to find the package files of their distro and end up in finding an source package(which is either in tar.gz or .gz).. so now people think how to install these source files…..
[125002470030] |lets now see how would you be installing source files in ubuntu…..
[125002470040] |source files contain the programs and hence before the installation you need to compile them… so you need to install the build-essentials from the synaptic package manager…. else this build-essentials is already present in the cd.. and so you can install it…..else you can install it typing it in the terminal by
[125002470050] |sudo aptitude install build-essential
[125002470060] |suppose you have a source file name src.tar.gz, what you do initially is that you need to extract the source files and then in the terminal….
[125002470070] |navigate to the folder where the source file is extracted using the cd commands….. and then
[125002470080] |type the following… ./configure
[125002470090] |make
[125002470100] |sudo make install
[125002470110] |clean install
[125002470120] |lets see what each one of them does…
[125002470130] |./configure….. checks whether the required dependencies are available on your system or not….. if not an error is reported….
[125002470140] |make compiles the source code and make install is used to install the program in to the location
[125002470150] |if it asks for an installation location it is recommended to install all the source to /usr/src
[125002470160] |clean install removes any temporary files created in the installation process of the source
[125002470170] |and thats it your source file in installed in your system.
[125002480010] |<title>How to get feisty running in a chroot for PiTiVi development on ubuntu 6.10</title>
[125002480020] |PiTiVi is an open source video editor, written in Python and based on GStreamer and GTK+.
[125002480030] |After trying to compile gstreamer by hand proved to be too complicated.
[125002480040] |A chroot is a good way to use programs from an unstable release, because it allows you to install just the programs you want, and it lets you stick with stable versions of critical software.
[125002480050] |Ubuntu’s feisty fawn unstable branch has the lastest release of gstreamer.This guide assumes you’re running ubuntu or debian.
[125002480060] |When you see $ it means the following should be entered at the shell prompt. # indicates the commands need to be run as root. (chroot) indicates that you are working in the chroot.
[125002480070] |First we need to create our chroot environment.
[125002480080] |Debootstrap is a program that installs a minimal debian system from a network repository.
[125002480090] |Do the following in a terminal emulator:
[125002480100] |$ sudo -s # apt-get install debootstrap dchroot # mkdir /chroot # echo “feisty /chroot” >/etc/dchroot.conf # file did not exist # debootstrap -arch i386 feisty /chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[125002480110] |Now we need to add some sources to configure apt, so that we can install the rest of the sytstem
[125002480120] |edit /chroot/apt/sources.list, and add the following lines
[125002480130] |deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[125002480140] |# chroot /chroot (chroot) # apt-get update (chroot) # apt-get upgrade #note: this step did nothing (chroot) # exit
[125002480150] |Now we need to copy some important files into the chroot
[125002480160] |# cp /etc/passwd /chroot/etc/ # cp /etc/shadow /chroot/etc/ # cp /etc/group /chroot/etc/ # cp /etc/sudoers /chroot/etc/ # cp /etc/hosts /chroot/etc/
[125002480170] |Now add the following lines to /etc/fstab (this is so that these mount points will be added inside the chroot as well)
[125002480180] |home /chroot/home none bind 0 0 /tmp /chroot/tmp none bind 0 0 /dev /chroot/dev none bind 0 0 /proc /chroot/proc proc defaults 0 0
[125002480190] |I skipped adding these two lines, since i wasn’t sure if they were the right thing to do.
[125002480200] |/media/cdrom0 /chroot/media/cdrom0 none bind 0 0
[125002480210] |/usr/share/fonts /chroot/usr/share/fonts none bind 0 0
[125002480220] |Now do the following to activate those new mount points.
[125002480230] |(This will happen automatically the next time you reboot).
[125002480240] |# mount -a
[125002480250] |Turns out locales are not created automatically in ubuntu .
[125002480260] |The next group of commands sets up locales in your chroot (required for using pitivi)
[125002480270] |# dchroot -d (chroot)# echo “en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8″ >/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local (chroot)# locale-gen (chroot)# dpkg-reconfigure locales
[125002480280] |Now we want to install the pitivi’s dependencies.
[125002480290] |The easiest way to do that is install pitivi itself (you can remove it later if you don’t want it).
[125002480300] |(chroot)# apt-get install pitivi (chroot)# apt-get build-dep pitivi (chroot)# exit # exit
[125002480310] |Now you should have a working chroot with the feisty version of pivitivi and everything required to build it.
[125002480320] |To run pivitivi in the chroot, you can do
[125002480330] |$ dchroot -d $ pivitivi

[125002490020] |If you are working limewire with beryl you might see blank beryl problem here is the solution for this.
[125002490030] |Open terminal type
[125002490040] |sudo gedit /usr/lib/LimeWire/runLime.sh
[125002490050] |we are assuming this is where you have runLime.sh if not correct so also, you can use other editors.ok so next erase everything inside runLime.sh and paste the following lines
[125002490060] |#!/bin/bash java -jar LimeWire.jar
[125002490070] |Save and exit the file
[125002490080] |Now you need goto, Aplications->Network->LimeWire
[125002490090] |Now it works with beryl runnning of course
[125002500010] |<title>Fix for Master password expose for Pidgin</title>
[125002500020] |Pidgin is an instant messaging program for Windows, Linux, BSD, and other Unixes.
[125002500030] |You can talk to your friends using AIM, ICQ, Jabber/XMPP, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, QQ, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, and Zephyr.
[125002500040] |Pidgin stores you passwords in plain text in ~/.purple/accounts.xml.Someone can easily boot into recovery mode while you are away and find your passwords in plain text.
[125002500050] |Download the patch from <a>here</a> into the same directory and do the following
[125002500060] |tar xf master-password.patch.tar
[125002500070] |patch -p 1 < master-password.patch
[125002500080] |You should be ready to configure, make, and install as normal.
[125002500090] |./configure
[125002500100] |make
[125002500110] |sudo make install
[125002500120] |When you launch pidgin, you will see a new tab in the preferences called "security".
[125002500130] |You can set a master password there.
[125002500140] |The link above has screenshots.
[125002500150] |After configuring, you should notice that the accounts.xml file now has gibberish where there once were passwords.
[125002500160] |To remove pidgin, run the following from the directory in which you built pidgin
[125002500170] |make uninstall
[125002500180] |This will work for pidgin 2.1.0,2.1.1 versions.
[125002510010] |<title>IPBlock - Graphical IP Blocker</title>
[125002510020] |iplist allows users with no or basic knowledge of iptables to filter (e.g. to block) network traffic based on (automatically updated) lists.
[125002510030] |These lists have various formats and are sorted by different categories (e.g. countries, adware, corporations).
[125002510040] |<strong>IPBlock Features</strong>
[125002510050] |<li>to protect your privacy while sharing with others</li>
[125002510060] |<li>to ban unwanted clients from servers</li>
[125002510070] |<li>to block whole countries or networks</li>
[125002510080] |<li>to block spam- and ad-servers</li> 
[125002510090] |ipblock is part of the iplist package which can be downloaded from <a>here</a>
[125002510100] |Download ipblock using the following command
[125002510110] |wget http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/iplist/iplist_0.14-0feisty1_i386.deb
[125002510120] |<strong>Prerequisites</strong>
[125002510130] |iplist requires a 2.6.14 kernel or later with the option CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE enabled (module or build-in). On a standard Debian installation (Etch) the additional packages libnetfilter-queue1 and libnfnetlink1 are needed.
[125002510140] |sudo aptitude install libnetfilter-queue1 libnfnetlink1 sun-java6-jre
[125002510150] |If you are installing gusty install this package libnfnetlink0 (gutsy) instead of libnfnetlink1
[125002510160] |Now we have .deb package we need to install this using the following comamnd
[125002510170] |sudo dpkg -i iplist_0.14-0feisty1_i386.deb
[125002510180] |This will install all the required packages for ipblock.
[125002510190] |After the installation if you want to open ipblock go to Applications -> Internet -> ipblock.Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen
[125002510200] |<strong>Lists Tab</strong>
[125002510210] |The default choice for lists is similar to peerguardian.
[125002510220] |<li>level1.gz - Anti-P2P organizations and known government addresses</li>
[125002510230] |<li>ads-trackers-and-bad-pr0n.gz - Advertising and data tracker servers</li>
[125002510240] |<li>spyware.gz - Malicious spyware and adware servers</li>
[125002510250] |<li>edu.gz - Educational institutions and universities</li>
[125002510260] |<li>bogon.gz - Spoofed IP-addresses</li> 
[125002510270] |Custom p2p or dat lists can easily be added.
[125002510280] |Note that lists can optionally be compressed with gzip.These lists are maintained <a>here</a>
[125002510290] |<strong>Settings Tab</strong>
[125002510300] |All options can be configured in this tab.
[125002510310] |Auto-updating lists is important and the default choice of 2 days is reasonable.
[125002510320] |Using out-of-date lists is not recommended.
[125002510330] |To ignore specific network traffic like HTTP or EMAIL (pop3) use the ignored ports section.

[125002520020] |If you want to Add entries in your GNOME Menu follow this simple steps
[125002520030] |First off, right click your applications menu and hit “Edit Menus”
[125002520040] |The Menu editor will appear .
[125002520050] |In the left panel select the category like accessibility, Debian, accessories etc.
[125002520060] |The right panel will update with the entries in that category.
[125002520070] |After you have selected the category, click on the New Item Button
[125002520080] |Another dialog will appear, thats where you will make the actual entry.In this case I will add a Firefox entry.
[125002520090] |First of all select what type of application it is.
[125002520100] |You can select application or application in terminal, both are quite self explanatory, you can also select a file.
[125002520110] |Fill name with the application name or whatever you want.
[125002520120] |Fill command with the applications command, in this case its firefox.
[125002520130] |If you selected file in the first box instead of application, you can browse for the file or just add the path to it.
[125002520140] |Comment is rather self explanatory.Now, select an icon by clicking the button to the left, in this case since i haven’t selected one yet It sais no Icon
[125002520150] |Hit the ok Button that’s it.
[125002530010] |<title>Saving Power on Intel Hardware Using Powertop</title>
[125002530020] |PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that make your laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle.
[125002530030] |As of Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick.
[125002530040] |This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time during system idle.
[125002530050] |However… there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside the kernel and in userspace.
[125002530060] |PowerTOP combines various sources of information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can see how well your system is doing, and which components are the biggest problem.
[125002530070] |<strong>Requirements</strong>
[125002530080] |For PowerTOP to work best, use a Linux kernel with the tickless idle (NO_HZ) feature enabled (version 2.6.21 or later).
[125002530090] |Currently, only 32-bit kernels have support for tickless idle; 64-bit kernels are expected to gain this feature in version 2.6.23.
[125002530100] |This only applies to Feisty.
[125002530110] |Also note that you need kernel 2.6.21 or above.
[125002530120] |<strong>Install the following prerequisites</strong>
[125002530130] |sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
[125002530140] |Download the latest powertop source from <a>here</a>
[125002530150] |Put the source in /usr/src and unpack using
[125002530160] |sudo tar -xvf powertop-1.9.tar.gz
[125002530170] |Compile using the following command
[125002530180] |cd powertop-1.9
[125002530190] |sudo make
[125002530200] |sudo make install
[125002530210] |You can also use “checkinstall” instead of “make install” to create a simple .deb for easier removal.
[125002530220] |If you are using Gutsy you can use the following command to install
[125002530230] |sudo aptitude install powertop
[125002530240] |Run powertop using the following command
[125002530250] |sudo powertop
[125002530260] |Powertop Output shown as follows

[125002560020] |<strong>How To Disable Multicast  All multicast On Ppp0 And Poss Other Devices </strong>SOME WERE USED ON FEISTY AND THEN I UPGRADED TO GUTSY JUST BEFORE THE BETA CAME OUT - A MONTH OR SO, ETC..
[125002560030] |WELL it TOOK ME A BIT to figure out but finally got it after a BIG HUGE help from THIS <a>page</a>
[125002560040] |IF YOU ARE USING A DIALUP MODEM MAKE SURE YOU ARE DIALED UP AT THE TIME WHILE DOING THIS AS YOU’LL GET AN ERROR THAT ppp0 DOES NOT EXIST..
[125002560050] |I actually went into system tools - root terminal to do this so try gksudo or sudo if you do not go thru that type of terminal in front/beginning of the command
[125002560060] |To Temporary disable Multicast do the following: (May Permanently disable Multicast for other devices such as Ethernet devices for highspeed cable, etc..
[125002560070] |I don’t know I only use dialup)::::
[125002560080] |1. DO THIS FIRST OTHERWISE YOU’LL GET AN ERROR SIMILAR TO THIS: Warning: Interface ppp0 still in ALLMULTI mode.
[125002560090] |open up a terminal and type or copy and paste the following:
[125002560100] |ifconfig ppp0 -multicast
[125002560110] |(for others replace ppp0 with your device such as Ethernet eth0 i believe that’s what it is..)
[125002560120] |2. then type or copy and paste to turn off ALLMULTI mode with this direction is or step it is optional I believe…
[125002560130] |ifconfig ppp0 -allmulti
[125002560140] |(Again replace ppp0 with the device you connect to the internet again an example would be eth0 for Ethernet)
[125002560150] |………………..
[125002560160] |TO RE-ENABLE I believe you do the step AGAIN and the SAME way WITH the SAME commands Above..
[125002560170] |………………..
[125002560180] |To permanently disable Multicast on every dialup session do the following: (if using GnomePPP.
[125002560190] |1. open up a terminal 2. gksudo nautilus 3. input password 4. navigate to file system - /etc/ppp/ip-up.d 5. right click a file named 0000usepeerdns 6. select open with text editor 7. right after # restart nscd because resolv.conf has changed if [ -e /var/run/nscd.pid ]; then /etc/init.d/nscd restart || true fi 8. press enter after fi 9. copy and paste or type the following ifconfig ppp0 -multicast 10. press Enter once more time and there should be 1 space after fi and 1 space before exit 0 11.
[125002560200] |Save the file by pressing save at the top 12.
[125002560210] |Exit out of the text editor 13. after that exit the dialup session and re-dial in for it to take effect.
[125002560220] |Next options are OPTIONAL:
[125002560230] |To see if it took effect
[125002560240] |1. Start menu - system - administration - Network Tools 2. by Network Device loopback interface (lo) should be shown, click that 3. scroll down to modem interface (ppp0) and select it.
[125002560250] |4. At the bottom under Interface Information on the left side under Hardware address there should be something called Multicast: and it should say Disabled next to it.
[125002560260] |If so exit out of the network tools and your now def. finished.
[125002560270] |How to disable Multicast with KPPP
[125002560280] |NOTE: BY DOING THE BELOW YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT IFCONFIG WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE PASSWORDLESS AND THAT WHEN TYPING SUDO IFCONFIG IT WILL DO THE REQUIRED ACTIONS WITHOUT REQUIRING ANY PASSWORD CONFIRMINATION UNDER YOUR USERNAME AS THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY I FOUND OUT HOW TO DISABLE MULTICAST ON EVERY KPPP DIAL-IN.
[125002560290] |1. Create a new Document file anywhere - I put mine is /etc/ppp and name it anything but input .sh at the end to make it a script file.
[125002560300] |2. open it up and type or copy and paste the following
[125002560310] |#!/bin/sh sudo ifconfig ppp0 -multicast
[125002560320] |3. Save and if you have it in a root location that’s locked by root such as in the filesystem directory and not your home folder then right click and change the owner to your username from withing the drop down list under owner.
[125002560330] |Now check mark the box at the bottom next to run as executable.
[125002560340] |After that click apply settings or close if no apply is available.
[125002560350] |4. open up a terminal and type
[125002560360] |export EDITOR=gedit   sudo visudo
[125002560370] |5. now input at the bottom and change USERNAME to your username
[125002560380] |USERNAME ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifconfig
[125002560390] |6. save the file.
[125002560400] |7. log out and back in.
[125002560410] |8. open up Kppp 9. configure - Accounts - select the internet account u use - edit - Execute
[125002560420] |10. After that type the location to your script we discussed earlier in the box next to Upon Connect:, and don’t forget the .sh extension part as such it is needed.
[125002560430] |11. okay and then okay
[125002560440] |12 then connect and now it should be disabled.
[125002560450] |U can verify this in the Network tools.

[125002590260] |The point at which we cease accepting new upstream versions of packages, whether they are sourced from <a>Debian</a> or not.
[125002590270] |Selected Debian releases of the same upstream versions may still be pulled in for bug-fixes, but this would be a manual process.
[125002590280] |Exceptions requiring confirmation
[125002590290] |Packages in or relating to FeatureGoals
[125002590300] |Minor fixes, if the upstream change is a micro-increment (or equivalent)
[125002590310] |Major fixes, particularly blockers, if the upstream change is a minor-increment (or equivalent)
[125002590320] |Exceptional circumstances
[125002590330] |<strong>String Freeze</strong>
[125002590340] |A string freeze is initiated in the project when all the human readable portions of code are no longer allowed to change.
[125002590350] |This gives the <a>translation</a> teams a chance to complete their translations without having to redo changed text.
[125002590360] |It also allows documentation to mention the actual UI names and messages.
[125002590370] |<strong>Beta Freeze</strong>
[125002590380] |Anal-retentive, high-caution period until the Beta Release goes out.
[125002590390] |Release and relevant section team confirmed fixes only!
[125002590400] |Once the BetaRelease is shipped, we roll back to FeatureFreeze status.

[125002590450] |<strong>Beta Release</strong>
[125002590460] |The BetaRelease is a testing oriented pre-release, usually one month before the Final Release.
[125002590470] |<strong>Non Language Pack Translation Deadline</strong>
[125002590480] |Some translation data cannot currently be updated via the language pack mechanism.
[125002590490] |Because these items require more disruptive integration work, they are subject to an earlier deadline.
[125002590500] |Translations which fall into this category are:
[125002590510] |The Ubuntu installer
[125002590520] |Translations which don’t use gettext, including:
[125002590530] |Firefox

[125002590580] |Panel strings
[125002590590] |All menu entries in KDE <a>applications</a>, which does not support translation via language packs
[125002590600] |<strong>Kernel Freeze</strong>
[125002590610] |The kernel freeze is a deadline for kernel updates, since they require several lockstep actions which must be folded into the CD building process.
[125002590620] |As with other freeze dates, exceptional circumstances may justify exemptions to the freeze, at the exception of the release managers.
[125002590630] |<strong>Release Candidate (RC)</strong>
[125002590640] |The release candidate is a production-quality pre-release one week before the final release.
[125002590650] |Language Pack Translation Deadline
[125002590660] |Translation data using the Language Pack mechanism is due at this deadline.

[125002610010] |<title>How to Install and setup Eclipse with Sun’s Java</title>
[125002610020] |Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle.
[125002610030] |A large and vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities, research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse platform.
[125002610040] |<strong>Installing Eclipse,Sun Java in Ubuntu</strong>
[125002610050] |sudo apt-get install eclipse sun-java6-jdk
[125002610060] |This will install the required packages, however, Eclipse will run very slowly since it will be using GNU’s java, not Sun’s.
[125002610070] |We now need to make Sun’s java the default.
[125002610080] |sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
[125002610090] |Next, edit the JVM configuration file
[125002610100] |sudo -b gedit /etc/jvm
[125002610110] |and add the following to the top of the file
[125002610120] |/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[125002610130] |There is a bug right now were Eclipse ignores Ubuntu’s java-common settings and uses its own (bug 45347).
[125002610140] |To work around the bug, you need to edit Eclipse’s java_home file
[125002610150] |sudo -b gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home
[125002610160] |and add
[125002610170] |/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[125002610180] |to the top of the file.
[125002610190] |Lastly, if you have lots of memory you may want to increase the heap size (warning: If you make the heap size too large then parts of eclipse will continuously swap in and out.).The settings can be altered by editing the eclipse.ini file.
[125002610200] |For feisty users:
[125002610210] |sudo -b gedit /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini
[125002610220] |The argument Xms refers to the minimum heap size and Xmx refers to the maximum heap size.
[125002620010] |<title>Backup Ubuntu using rdiff-backup</title>
[125002620020] |rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network.
[125002620030] |The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago.
[125002620040] |The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, modification times, extended attributes, acls, and resource forks.
[125002620050] |Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync.
[125002620060] |Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be transmitted.
[125002620070] |Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings have sensical defaults.
[125002620080] |<strong>Install rdiff-backup in ubuntu</strong>
[125002620090] |If you want to install rdiff-backup in ubuntu use the following command
[125002620100] |sudo apt-get install rdiff-backup
[125002620110] |Because rdiff-backup is using SSH, which asks for a password upon logging in, it will require human interaction during the actual back-up process.
[125002620120] |And because we are trying to setup an automated process, this is not what we want.
[125002620130] |Fortunately, this problem can be easily skipped by using SSH public keys.
[125002620140] |So, we’ll need to create a pair of keys on the home computer, one of which will be saved on the work computer.
[125002620150] |Basically, these keys will tell the work machine that the home machine is allowed to login through SSH.first you need to make sure both machines installed with openssh.
[125002620160] |Install openssh using the following command
[125002620170] |sudo apt-get install openssh
[125002620180] |Now you need to Generate a DSA key pair on the USA computer
[125002620190] |ssh-keygen -t dsa
[125002620200] |Hit enter when you are asked for the target directory and for the passphrase.
[125002620210] |Send the public key to the UK computer:
[125002620220] |(The UK computer has to have used the ssh client, otherwise, the .ssh directory won’t exist)
[125002620230] |cd $HOME
[125002620240] |scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub UK-user@UK.computer.IP:~/.ssh
[125002620250] |Log in to UK PC and add the key to the list of authorized keys:
[125002620260] |ssh work-user@UK.computer.IP
[125002620270] |cd .ssh
[125002620280] |cat id_dsa.pub >>authorized_keys2
[125002620290] |rm -rf id_dsa.pub
[125002620300] |Test if everything is ok: Log out and log back in, this time, you shouldn’t be asked for a password.
[125002620310] |Back-up process
[125002620320] |we want to do here is back-up the scripts/ directory on the UK PC to the USA PC.
[125002620330] |To do this, type the following command on the USA machine
[125002620340] |<code>rdiff-backup -v4 --print-statistics UK-user@UK.computer.IP:://home/UK-user/scripts/ scripts/</code>
[125002620350] |<strong>Automate Backup process with crontab</strong>
[125002620360] |On the USA machine, type the following command to open the crontab editor
[125002620370] |crontab -e
[125002620380] |It will open vi.Once it started, Now, add the following line
[125002620390] |15 1 * * * /usr/bin/rdiff-backup UK-user@UK.computer.IP:://home/UK-user/scripts/ scripts/
[125002620400] |save and exit the file
[125002620410] |As of now, every night at 1:15, the scripts directory from the UK PC will be saved to /home/USA-user/scripts directory and will be updated if any scripts are added to the work directory.
[125002620420] |<a>70-291</a> and <a>70-649</a> professionals are used to creating backups regularly.
[125002620430] |It is the <a>70-270</a> and the <a>646-204</a> that have an issue.

[125002640020] |In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up and ready to go.
[125002640030] |This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is available at the time of installation.
[125002640040] |The LAMP option means you don’t have to install and integrate each of the four separate LAMP components, a process which can take hours and requires someone who is skilled in the installation and configuration of the individual applications.
[125002640050] |Instead, you get increased security, reduced time-to-install, and reduced risk of misconfiguration, all of which results in a lower cost of ownership.New pre-configured installation options have been added to the Ubuntu Server.
[125002640060] |Mail Server, File Server, Print Server, and Database Server options join existing LAMP and DNS options for pre-configured installations, easing the deployment of common server configurations.
[125002640070] |Ubuntu LAMP server Install the following Versions

[125002670020] |Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do.
[125002670030] |It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well.
[125002670040] |The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external “plugins” which return status information to Nagios.
[125002670050] |When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.).
[125002670060] |Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.
[125002670070] |WARNING: “this tutorial is meant for users that have a good knowledge of development tools and manual installation process and will be hardly supported by the Ubuntu community.

[125002670930] |http://localhost/nagios/
[125002670940] |Click on the “Service Detail” navbar link to see details of what’s being monitored on your local machine.
[125002670950] |It will take a few minutes for Nagios to check all the services associated with your machine, as the checks are spread out over time.
[125002670960] |9) Other Modifications
[125002670970] |If you want to receive email notifications for Nagios alerts, you need to install the mailx (Postfix) package.
[125002670980] |#apt-get install mailx
[125002670990] |You’ll have to edit the Nagios email notification commands found in /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg and change any ‘/bin/mail’ references to ‘/usr/bin/mail’.
[125002671000] |Once you do that you’ll need to restart Nagios to make the configuration changes live.
