I have been looking online and trying to install a VPN or TOR in Ubuntu. I have the packages for this from Synaptic Package Manager. I am trying to follow instructions from the Tor site, and have even done the Google thing.
I just can not make it work. I can make it work in Windows on the same computer using VirtualBox, so my router is not blocking the ports.
I've been all afternoon trying to install Ubuntu Lucid on my fakeRAID 0 configured (2) HDDs and am unable to set GRUB up. The fake RAID setup is provided by Intel Matrix Storage Manager, it is correctly enabled and the BIOS is also correctly set up -- in fact, I've managed to install Windows 7 with no significant hitch. After struggling with partioning the drives (had to follow advice I found on a very helpful guide online [0]), creating the filesystems AND getting Ubuntu's installer to actually do what it is supposed to do, I now cannot seem to set GRUB up. My system, as it stands, is unbootable at all; via live CD only.
This is how the RAID0 dev is partitioned:
Code:
# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_ecdeiihbfi_Volume0

I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually.

Im trying to setup multiple domU through the default bridge setup. I am able to access only one of them through the network at a time. If you ping one of the domU it works perfectly but you cannot ping any of the others until you stop pinging the one and even then it takes a bit before you can. Ive looked around for a while and seen similar problems but nothing ever seems quite the same. Im probably missing something really stupid. Or is this the way the bridge is supposed to behave? Do i need to use a routed virtual network?

How to setup SAP GUI on UBUNTU 10.04 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is a thought experiment:
1. Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from isolinux subdir into /boot
2. Adjust grub.conf to boot to that kernel
3. Reboot to setup
4. Format /boot (actually '/' ) during "fresh install"
5. Proceed with the installation-over-network
I see two possible outcomes:
1. The setup fails to reformat the drive, because it is "in use" by boot kernel
2. The partition is not "in use" and the installation succeeds
Why? Old cluster with broken CD-drives, lacking USB, and no separate /boot partition.
I have a problem setting up Nussus on Ubuntu 10.04. I have searched how to do this but was only able to find cites that showed how to install Nessus on earlier versions of Ubuntu. The problem is that the 10.04 version does not have nessusd and nessus-adduser files in the package manager, it only has Nessus file. When I try to follow instructions from other cites it tells me that there are no such files. Does anyone know how to install Nessus on the 10.04 version.

I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. It has a 802.11n wireless card.
When I boot up to ubuntu, the wireless does not work. And if I connect to a wire network within ubuntu, it works.
Ubuntu can't detect any of the Wifi network in my home (other laptop can). And I click 'Enable Wireless' in the notification area, it said 'Device not found' for the Wireless Network.
The card is 'Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth'
Can you please tell me how can I setup my wireless card in ubuntu 9.10?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been asked to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a friends machine but appear to be having some very basic problems. I think it may be related to the Grub 2. I do not consider myself a newbie but I am very inexperienced with Grub 2. I know a lot of the tricks of Grub Legacy, but this is driving me daft. It should be simple; a new hard drive, 500GB SATA, has been put into the computer, there are no other hard disks installed and the drive went in as empty.
Ubuntu booted fine into live CD mode without any issues, all of the hardware appeared to be working properly. I then installed it onto the machine, taking up the entire disk as per my friends request. When the installation finished everything seemed as normal, but upon startup I am greeted with a grub rescue prompt. Upon a bit of internet research I discovered that it may be simply that the 500GB is simply too big and that a seperate partition should be made for /boot.
This was done however now I do not even get to the grub rescue prompt after checking the DVD drive for bootable media the computer simply sits at a blinking cursor. I have made sure that grub 2 was installed and setup to look for the /boot partition but these all check out and I am still stuck with the same problem. I am considering simply installing 8.04 LTS and then updating and that should solve my issue of Grub 2, but I know that is avoiding the problem and I will need to learn about Grub 2 at some point.
I have two computers, one in my living room and one in my room. Both of the computers were running Windows XP , but I switched the computer in my room to Ubuntu and I guess that this messed up my Linksys connection.My question is, how would I go about getting it back and setup on the Ubuntu system?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and previously had a separate partition with another distro on it. I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:
I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am booting a new Xen kernel and it all goes fine up until some point during the boot process when the machine reboots without warning. Unfortunately, I don't see errors flash up just before that happens. Is there a way of booting the machine with a working kernel and looking at a log of the previous boot or something? What I didn't notice is that there is actually an error on the screen. It just flashes up very quickly before the reboot. The error is related to not being able to mount the root filesystem because there is something wrong with my grub configuration.
A normal entry in grub.cfg looks like this:
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-server' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)' .....
I added the following in /etc/grub.d/40_default
menuentry 'Xen 4 with Linux 2.6.32.45-xen' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)' .....
But it's not working for some reason. I also tried the 20_linux_xen script. Unfortunately that's not working.
See these errors:
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.45-xen
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.45-xen
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-server
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-33-server

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.45-xen
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.45-xen
/etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen: 156: gettext_printf: not found
Gettext is installed. I'm on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The error flashed up on boot is something like "please insert a correct root=boot kernel option..." Why is this so hard and why are there so many different examples of grub2 xen? some put /boot in front some just /. I tried putting /boot in front but that didn't help. Also some have --set=root uuid and yet all my other working entries just have --set uuid. Is this something to do with a different grub2 version?
I have been contemplating switching to Linux for some time now, frankly because I'm tired of the blue screens and viruses, the slow speeds, low customization, new versions of programs coming out after years of waiting, high costs/no sharing. As for Apple, I'm not a fan of Steve Jobs going from share-ware to locked down apps and frankly I despise the whole Apple company for that and its high prices. my first HP ever crashed so coming in is a new Dell with details to follow on it - this particular Dell doesn't fit with my habit of getting everything thats the newest thing out, but its close enough to what I had and was a "fast track" item, meaning built and ready to ship. Also, always owned Dells in the past with no problems.
I use my computer for movies, music, internet, e-mail, the occasional spreadsheet and word document as well as games that perk my interest every once in a while. I heard Ubuntu would be good, with Wine to be able to run the occasional Windows based program correctly. I was looking at a dual setup which I would switch to a single set-up if I became extremely comfortable with Linux.
