I have a intel 82845 video card. I want to set the screen resolution to 1600x1200. The highest choice under system> preferences > Monitors is1024x768. I see some posts saying to edit xorg.conf, but when I go to /etc/X11/ there is no xorg.conf. I know the card and my monitor will do this resolution, as I had it to that resolution in windows 7 and in XP.

I want to set my program with highest priority for real-time processes. I understand the priority for real-time processes ranges from 1-99, but I get completely confused after reading Understanding the Linux Kernel and the manual of sched_get_priority_max(): which value has higher priority? either 1 or 99. Understanding the Linux Kernel says 1 has highest priority but sched_get_priority_max() returns 99 for SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR policy.

I want to be able to tell mkinitramfs in a script to be able to see the highest possible kernel version in the /lib/modules directory.

Given the example data below, I thought package A, version 01, which is currently installed from repository abc, would be updated to version 02 from repository xyz.
How do you get YaST to update packages from the highest priority repository?
Code:
Sample Data:
Repository: xyz package A Ver:02 priority:50
Repository: abc package A installed Ver:01 priority:99
I clean installed xubuntu on an old laptop. I think I messed up the original configuration of xorg though because the highest resolution is 800x600.
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
or

I have a DHCP server running on CentOS and for some reason it is assigning the highest number from the IP range as a first one?
- range 192.168.1.20 - 192.168.1.50 - so the first IP on my PC recived from this DHCP server was .50 - is it normal behaviour?

People say it was due to my ATI driver. Now since its a stable release, I want to make this install as perfect as possible so i dont have to reformat everything like i did last time.
Should i copy my whole filesystem into a external drive? In the event it doesnt work , i can just replace the files with the files on the external drive rite?
I'd like to install apache so I can tinker around with php a bit. I read a thread on how to set everything up, and it ended with a chap mentioning that it's important to take security measures while running apache. I haven't "gone out of my way" to make my Ubuntu install any more secure than it comes out-of-the-box. I keep my system updated via Update Manager's automatic updates, but that's it.
So my question is, am I ok to go ahead and plod through some php tutorials using apache to do the server-side stuff? what I would do to keep things safe if I were using a Windows machine?
I am using Fedora on my desktop pc. I want to know how can i protact my PC from outside world. What firewall policy should i implement in iptables to keep it more secure.

I've been using debian for sometime but I've never trusted in automated upgrade on my servers so my question is: Is this safe in cron and how often should I run it (everyday, once a week)?
apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade
Of course I have stable version installed.

I'm currently running OpenSuSE 11.3. I'm afraid as newer versions are released they will demand more of my old PC (Dell Optiplex GX270). Also, I've heard of issues with newer Linux distributions having issues with older Intel hardware (just hearsay, not personal experience). However, patches for specific OpenSuSE releases have a limited window of time.So,
Am I much more at risk to security issues if I keep a version of Linux past its patch date?Is it possible to keep a specific Linux release but still be able to receive security essential updates based on my repository selection?

I am running a game server on an Ubuntu 11.04 box. The game is Minecraft. The biggest (smallest?) bottleneck for my server is the read/write/access time of data on the hard disk. I feel an SSD could make a huge difference in performance.The Minecraft map is stored in individual region files that are further divided into 'chunks'. Each file is between 64KB and 10MB each (depending on how 'developed' they are). Users are crafting the world and so are constantly loading these files and editing them while playing the game. I'm hoping to have about 15-30 users on at peak times, and 2 or 3 at minimum. The server would be up 24/7.The entirety of the game directory (the map, player data, config file, plugins, etc) is less than 1GB. So I don't need a lot of storage. I will be performing daily backups of the game data to a much larger HDD on the system.Considering this scenario, would you recommend against using an SSD? I've read 'DRAM-based' SSD's do not have write limitations.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI read some of the thing under thread about ubuntu not working after update to 9.10, mainly connected with nvidia etc. This all seems rather complex for someone with only small experience. The Q is : is it safe today (bugs fixed?) to update from 9.04 to 9.10 simply via the update manager? Or will I have definitely no running system then and will need lot of special work to be done on drivers etc? My system is a dell dimension 4550, nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200. Or is the upgrade to 9.10 to dangerous still?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAbout 3-4 weeks ago, I tried upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 several times, using all of the methods. However, every single one of them had a bug; a black screen, completely blank. I saw other people had this problem and did everything others suggested, but yet I still got that black screen. So I decided to wait a few weeks and see if most of the bugs have been fixed. So is it safe to upgrade now?

It seems to be easy enough: [URL] and here for people who like me need to be held by the hand with simplest things: [URL] But as a newbie to ubuntu I've been burnt trying out seamless things that turn into tweaking nightmares that I can't manage. It would be useful to receive any prior warning as to how Dropbox cohabits with Gnome, Nautilus or anything relevant in Ubuntu 10.04.
