I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 with OpenSSH, trying to create an ssh tunnel (for web traffic) to it from my (also Ubuntu) laptop. This is the command I'm using to create the tunnel:
Code: ssh -ND localhost:8080 george@192.168.1.20 I had it all working on a virtual machine.. which was deleted What settings/lines do I need to change/add from the default OpenSSH config files to get tunnelling to work? I've Googled and AllowTcpForwarding is set to yes, as is X11Forwarding.. but it still doesn't work. Chrome can connect to the server, but says the connection was closed before any data was sent.
I am using Ubuntu server 9.10. Also for shutdown and restart too.

1) How to check for https in commands config file for Nagios? I only know how to check for http, not sure for https.
2) The log file in Nagios, is it possible to extend Nagios's plugins (or are there already have plugins existed) so that we could actually make use of the log file to check for status of each and every services in different hosts, instead of looking through the log file manually which can be very time-consuming if the list is very long.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 11.04 today and wanted to reconfigure so that I could have the desktop cube again. Once I started trying to switch my settings for the cube configuration compiz asked whether I wanted to turn off various features and apparently among them was the control bar on the side and top of the screen. Now I log in to Ubuntu and I get my workspace and that's it. No control bars, just the workspace. I need to know a few things:
1) Has anyone else had this problem?
2) How do I get into the terminal from keyboard commands?
3) What terminal commands do I need to bring back at least the main toolbar so I can access programs.
I found that Linux Ubuntu has custom keyboard commands.his is awesome.What I'm trying to do, is make a command that will shut down the computer with a single button with no dialog windows.For you know, being grounded nd stuff.I found the command for it is "shutdown" with a few options.But when I tested it, being bound to pause/break, it did nothingAm I writing the wrong code, as I'm not using any options, or is this not possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate Squeeze 6 installation with preseed.cfg, but the keyboard configuration (fr) is not taken into account.Given the debconf logs, it seems that the language is set before preseed.cfg is read. So I added "console-keymaps-at/keymap=fr locale=fr_FR" to the syslinux.cfg kernel line.That skips the installer keyboard selection page. But in debconf logs I can seed "Setting debconf/language to en".What am I doing wrong ?Here are the related options I set in preseed.cfg. I can't find an exhaustive debconf options list, and their exact meaning ; does anyone know of one ?d-i debian-installer/locale string fr
# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility.
d-i debian-installer/language string fr

I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and when I'm on vim, I can use arrow key normally in command mode, but in editing mode, if I use them, it print a letter, capital case + new line and doesn't move the cursor.
In putty I would try to play with the different type of keyboard settings (ESC[~, Linux, Xterm R6, VT400 etc...), but here, I don't know what to do.
At the installation time, I choose French/French keyboard.

It's said to have GRUB2 by default, but at boot time it says Grub 1.97 beta...
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, but wanted to use Banshee instead of Rhythmbox. After running Code: sudo aptitude install banshee I wanted to bind my "Media" button on my keyboard to run banshee; unfortunately, it still wants to run rhythmbox. Where can I change the default command executed by these keyboard shortcuts? I can't seem to find them in gconf-editor under apps/metacity/* and googling has proved fruitless in finding where this configuration file is located.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs you know it is possible to move the mouse pointer with the numlock keys on a standard keyboard. I would like to know what are the commands for moving the pointer up, down, right, and left? I plan to reprogram different keys/shortcuts to do those mouse functions instead of the numlock keys.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am learning linux commands. I just wanted to see what happens when I type
Code:
The screen became blank. Keyboard was not responding. I couldn't do a proper shutdown. I switched off computer by pulling out the plug. When I restarted, I heard a series of beeps (approximately 10 beeps). Then I was dropped to the grub prompt. The problem now is I can not type anything into the grub prompt, because the character 'c' is continously printed across the screen like this:
Code:
I couldn't stop the character 'c' from printing (I tried pressing Esc, Ctrl+C)
The solution is easy. I can reinstall grub from a livecd. Or even reinstalling the entire operating system wouldn't take more than 30 minutes. But I want to know:
1) What exactly happened to grub? What stage does this error belong to (1, 1.5 or 2)? What is the error number?
2) How can running "sudo kill -9 -1" affect grub?
Note: I have made a thread similar to this before, but the title/contents were too botched to repair.I know that using C-r you can search for past bash commands containing a particular string, but how would you search for past bash commands matching a particular regular expressionIs there a keyboard shortcut for that or do you have to use a shell command?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu on a partition install. It is dual-booted with my Windows 7. Anyways, everything worked fine for a while, until I pressed ctrl+alt+F2. Then it went to this weird full-screen-mode command line thing. It asked for my login so i did, and then it asked for my password, which I then entered. And then I really don't know what I did, but at the end I pressed ctrl+alt+delete, which instead of going to like a task manager, it restarted my computer.
I then booted into Ubuntu again, and it started giving me errors about how it won't update some config files, and then it won't load up like the desktop and the panels. All I see about booting is the default Ubuntu background when you login and nothing else. No panels, no icons, nothing, just the background.
I mistakenly deleted /etc/apache2/port.conf, so I tried to reinstall the package with "apt-get", but nothing. I dug myself in deeper by thinking a script skipped it because the directory was there, so I removed it completely. After reinstalling using "apt-get install apache2", the folders came back, bot non of the config files where there. I am now lost. How can I get them all back?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a really odd bug I can't seem to figure it out. Basically, commands like ls can see all the files in the current directory, however when I go to execute the file it will give errors like "file not found", even when it most obviously is. If you look at my command history in the screenshot, you can see I can ls into a directory and see it's contents. When I try to run the file, I get the "no such file or directory" error.
However, if I type simply 'vm', I can't use tab completion to complete the directory name, and my third command is me typing 'vm' and hitting tabtab, it lists a bunch of vmware specific tools instead of the subdirectory name. I can then ls and see my current directory contents, and it will list only the single subdirectory. However, then I tried to use the full filepath from root to run the file, still to no avail. If anyone has any insight,
I just re-installed 11.3 KDE. I kept my old /home directory on a USB drive. Now I would like to replicate my panels. Where are the desktop config files kept?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhere are they located? What file I cant find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRegardless of the fact that editing these files is necessary for good functioning of my system, my standard 10.10 ubuntu installation seems to lack these files:
XF86config
Xorg.conf
/etc/printcap
Am I the only one who witnesses this in ubuntu? Perhaps I need to apt-get install some things? Knowledge about these files is important for my study.
