Debian :: What Would Optimal .config For EEE PC Look Like?

May 30, 2011

I installed this package (Squeeze) and the man page for laptop-mode.conf is rather overwhelming in the amount of information it provides, as is the .conf itself; does anyone know if simply installing laptop-mode-tools has an effect on power consumption? In other words, does the default .config save power? Or do I have to alter the .config? If so what would an optimal .config for an EEE PC look like?

Debian :: Can't Get Optimal Screen Resolution?

Aug 23, 2010

I have a fresh install of debian on an older laptop. The screen resolution is 800 x 600, but I want it to be 1024 x768. I know this screen can handle this resolution because I've used it before. I tampered with xorg.conf according to this link, viewtopic.php?t=26577, but to no avail. Here is my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Generic Keyboard"
Driver"kbd"
Option"XkbRules""xorg"
Option"XkbModel""pc104"
Option"XkbLayout""us"

Debian Configuration :: Optimal Setup For A Mail Server?

Apr 16, 2010

I would like to discuss setting up a mail server and its implications and alternatives. First, let us see if I have understood this correctly: A mail server consists of many different components. First, a server to listen to any mail inbound for a specific domain (say postfix), and then a POP3/IMAP server (say dovecot). Then, I should somehow configure the rules by which all mail is forwarded to their respective owners. This should be fairly simple by using debians package managers and dselect or whatever program it is that sets up right packages by use cases at the install.

But now lets assume a more complicated environment, where there are multiple users with different domains and needs. First, we need to send mail to ourselves from webapps for instance for backup purposes. So let's say we have a domain called domain.com setup, and we want to send mail to backup@domain.com. Unfortunately, some configuration issue makes the application get confused, because it is trying to send mail to itself, but doesn't quite understand what it should do. How can this problem can be solved?

Second, how could I configure different domains with different rules. For instance, if I want one domain to have a catch-all account, where random email sent to erroneous accounts is captured? Or if I want to create accounts which are not based on actual Debian accounts, but instead just random usernames (say, danny@domain.com, mike@domain.com, support@domain.com etc.)?

Finally, which are the best web-guis for doing such configuration? What if the customer wants to himself add accounts? I cannot require him to edit text files - especially if he can thus break the whole configuration for other customers as well.. postfix-admin is one, but it is quite crude-looking. Is there something which integrates both postfix, apache and dovecot configuration? How about Webmin?

Debian Hardware :: Monitor AOC F19s Not Operating At Optimal Resolution?

May 30, 2011

This is a fresh install of stable Debian: root@ngaio:/home/murray# uname -a Linux ngaio 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux The monitor is an AOC F19s - fairly standard 19" widescreen LCD. The graphics is running off the mother board: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 (supposedly this supports up to 2048x1536)

Gnome has three basic resolutions available, the best is 1024x768 but it still makes my pictures look fat. The optimal resolution for my monitor is 1366x768 (ie widescreen). I have hunted through lots of posts and tried creating an xorg.conf file and specifying this mode, however when I did that the Xserver simply didn't start. I then tried a few different combinations, however I was pretty much swatting mozzies with the lights off. I deleted my xorg.conf attempt and it's back to 1024x768 and I'm stumped.

[Code]...

I know these resolutions are painful to work out, so if you don't have much time perhaps you could point me at a website or document that explains how to configure xorg.conf correctly?

Debian :: Tool For Squid Reports (not SARG) - Generate Less Amount Of Files - Optimal Is To Save Reports To The Database

May 9, 2011

I got the following task from my boss. I have to find out if there is some alternative tool for create reports from Squid except SARG. Now, we use SARG, but my boss told to me, that the main problem of SARG is, that SARG generate huge amount files, which cause problems during migration our servers. He told to me the following condition for change of current tool (SARG):

* standard package of Debian
* generate less amount of files, optimal is to save reports to the database

So I would like to ask you if you know about some tool (I can not find some by google)... and the best would be if you told to me some practical experiences.

Ubuntu :: Optimal OS For Netbook Python Robot?

Jun 8, 2010

defer to your expertise in determining the best Linux OS and desktop environment. I have a some (ok, a lot) of control code written in python for a mobile robot. The robot is for my graduate research project, and until now I have been running the code on my system76 laptop or my netbook (running Ubuntu Remix 9.04). However, we just purchased a project netbook (Samsung, Atom N450 processor) and I would like to install the lightest weight OS possible to reserve as much processing power as I can for the code. A no frills, barebones linux version that can run python.

Ubuntu :: Optimal Partition Setup For MultiOS?

Dec 12, 2010

I'm thinking about installing Arch soon, but I was wondering what the optimal partition setup would be. Bhalash on #ubuntu recomended:

boot as sda1
swap as sda2
personal data (not config) as sda3 **
the extended partition as sda4 which would include
-Ubuntu
-Arch

This would not be a home folder, it would just be for person files like pictures or music. The OS's would have their own /home which would contain symlinks to this partition. Does anyone see anything wrong with this setup or have a better idea?

Currently on my setup:
sda1 is a broken ubuntu 10.10
sda2 is extended
sda5 is swap for broken install
sda6 is my working install
sda7 is swap for working install

So keep in mind how easy it would be to move the partitions around in your response. I haven't found a way to move something out of extended without frying the data.

Ubuntu Servers :: FreeNAS Openfiler - What Is Optimal

May 4, 2011

I've been tinkering with both recently to see what can suit my needs as a simple raid1 mirrored backup server. I used FreeNAS for all but minutes before I had a raid1 array running and shares set up through CIFS. Using Ubuntu on my laptop I was able to see them as well. I had some more figuring out to do, as I wanted each share to be blocked off from the other. aka - I didn't want "fred" to be able to access "bob's" share. So then I move on to Openfiler to check it out. I hear it's simpler. It's web interface, while no doubt much slower than FreeNAS, was easy to mingle around. At first glance, I thought I'd like it more.

I began to set up my raid1 array. After realizing the final release I was dealing with had a bug, I found some commands to run in a root shell to fix. Okay, so now we're moving along... raid1 array created. Then I had to create a volume group. Then a volume. Then shares. And I still don't have it running over cifs. I'm curious if FreeNAS by nature is truly simpler to set up raid array's with, or if maybe I'm just totally misunderstanding Openfiler and that be the reason why I'm thinking this.

Software :: Optimal Settings For Resizing Photos?

May 30, 2011

When I take photos at some work outings, I set up my camera to take large pictures (jpeg + raw) just in case someone really likes a photo and wants to print it (well, it hasn't happened yet, but you never know). I then have to resize the photos to email them (I photo takes over 5MB). What would be most optimal settings to resize them for emailing? I used to just decrease the resolution:

mogrify -resize 25% *.jpeg

This, however, doesn't change the compression and possibly any other settings that I'm not aware of.

General :: Allocate Limited SSD Space In LVM For Optimal Performance?

Jan 20, 2011

I just got a new SSD, and I'm looking for advice on how best to incorporate it into my existing LVM setup. I have the following logical volumes (mounted at the obvious places):

[Code]...

I've got 108.26g in the physical volumes associated with the new SSD. I'm going to use pvmove to migrate some of these LVs to the SSD. The question is, which LVs to move?

The machine in question is basically a home workstation. I do some light development (source code lives in home), run some very low-load server processes (apache, etc.), and do a bit of image and video editing from time to time. I run Gentoo on x86 if that makes a difference.

Ubuntu Networking :: Tweaking For Optimal Connection Speeds?

Oct 29, 2010

I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get the best speeds possible. I pay for 16mb/s connection (with charter) and I was getting about 4mb/s. After upgrading firmware, and changing some encryption settings on my router, that went up to about 6mb/s. It's improvement, and I'm happy with that, but I'm looking for that 10 more mb/s

So, is there anything in Ubuntu to tweak to optimize connection speeds? Also, if it affects anything, I'm using a linksys WRT320N router. I was going to use the 5.0ghz band, but my wireless adapter is an 802.11gb, so I'm stuck with 2.4.

Security :: Shell Login Tripwire - Optimal Place?

Jul 11, 2010

I have disabled root login in my remote shell and I have a pretty strong password. I am not happy though. I want to increase security. I've been thinking about installing some basic tripwire rig, like say, send myself an email every time I (or anyone) log in. My questions:

- What kind of data would be useful to be sent in that email? Anything else besides "user so-and-so logged in at {date and time}"?

- How would I achieve that? Is it enough to include it in .tcshrc (because my shell is tcsh)? Should I add it to other shells as well (.bashrc, .csh etc.) even though nobody uses the other shells? Is it better placed in some other file, like .login? What is the optimal place?

- Would that be enough? Can I make that whole idea more secure in any way?

Ubuntu Installation :: Optimal Partition Sugguestions For Speed & Dual Boot With Shared Data?

Mar 4, 2010

I am installing a custom 8.04 live disk (basically, a mirror of my whole system with user data intact, sans all non-OS files) from a USB key with remastersys for the .iso creation, and UNetbootin for the bootable USB on a brand new 120GB PATA WD HDD. Both do nicely so far, so I have a working livedisk to use until I need to install Ubuntu to the drive.

I had a pure linux box, but I need to add XP with dual booting now- I have to use Autodesk Inventor 2010 software for my college class on my laptop, so I don't drive 30 miles to use the 1 computer lab equipped with that software. I'm not new to Linux, but I am new to more in-depth partitioning. I've taken the lead and looked into things- read this good guide, among others:

HTML Code:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning and noticed that there is a way to more deftly use partitions so that personal files can be shared access and write between Windows and Linux partitions- with this:
HTML Code:
http://www.fs-driver.org/ Ubuntu is still my main OS, but being able to access all my media/data files between the 2 systems would be nice. Problem is, until now, I've put everything on a single partition because I didn't know better. Now I do, but am a bit confused with all the guides as to what's most efficient, especially in my case where full RAM speed is crucial to running a single program.

Here's what I know I need to do: 1. The Windows XP install I know needs from 20-30GB for Inventor 2010 LT to work well. I don't need anything else in XP spacewise- it's just being added for Inventor. 2. I'd like to create a separate /home partition for Ubuntu this time to save my user data, making future upgrades much more painless (I will be getting Lucid soon). How that works when upgrading, though, I don't know yet..

3. I'd like both OSes to share all my personal files (docs, pics, music, Inventor design files) if it is an efficient choice that works without problems.

4. Finally, because 2GB is minimum for Inventor to run decently, I need to maximize the speed of my RAM for it- from my reading, these so-called "swap" partitions can somehow be added for buffering this- people seem to sugguest the swap be half the size of the RAM for fastest speed, and some say add separate /usr or other partitions. I'm not clear on what would be most efficient for me.

I have limited HDD space- because of my laptop's BIOS, this single 120GB drive is the biggest I can get on my laptop, so efficient partitioning would make a huge difference for me. Before this, a 60GB HDD was in this. I'd like to see some added space for my data storage, but still keep things as fast as possible for Inventor when I use it, and Ubuntu.

Slackware :: How To Save Needed Modules Config To Create .config?

Apr 9, 2011

I am running a server with a GRSecurity patched Kernel 2.6.32.36. I've tried to optimize the kernel as much as I can and know it (removing options, not needed drivers and so on) and compiled the modules into the kernel (no loadable modules anymore). I've started with Slackware 13.0 and the default config for 2.6.29.6-huge. Still I am not sure what to remove/optimize further now.

My question: Is there a way to boot with a kernel with loadable modules, check which modules are really needed for this hardware, (do something like lsmod) and save the running configuration modules for a next kernel compile to be the default .config instead of writing them down by hand and search for the appropriate names in .config or during menuconfig? (Note: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config is NOT the way I want, as it gives me just the current kernel config)
