I simply cannot get filezilla to work.It wont even pass its own test, yet on a friends mac, 'fetch' works fine.I need an FTP program for my Linux machine (OpenSuse KDE).Could someone please recommend one that I can get with YAST ?I just need to access a remote host to upload some files for a site.
Is this the best & easiest way to create a bootable usb drive?Live USB stick - openSUSE.I should follow the Linux instructions and then a create a partition with remaining space on the usb drive.I'm looking to do this when 11.3 comes out. My main focus is to create bootable usb drives to stop wasting cd/dvd's that lay around and pile up; right now we have no recycling center for old cd/dvds without shipping them out by the cost of the consumer. Learning to create a bootable usb opensuse will reduce my waste of old distributions. I ran the Ubuntu usb installer, which graphically does the work for you, so the opensuse looks a little more like work, but manageable for the simple user?
what is the best/easiest way to install a all-in-one device from Hewlett Packard (hp)?Is there a way/makes it sence to set it up via Yast? I do not know why this wiki.How to set-up a HP printer - openSUSE.shout be "obsolete" (at least not for all-in-one printers).And for "only" printers: Is there an other way including bidirectional communication (ink etc.?).
I have a desktop with a 640gb HD and a 2TB HD. I have windows 7 installed and a couple of other partitions. My 2nd HD, the 2TB drive is my F: drive. I want to create a 100GB partition for SuSE 11.4 abnd install it. however, during the install SuSE wants to shrink the volume and I don't want to use but 100GBH. What is the easiest way to properly install the OS? I am not real familiar with resizing and creating the root / , and swap etc.
I finally have a properly workng Vista Karmic dual boot. I don't remember how I setup the Ubuntu partition(did it in the advanced option), but my Vista file system is not listed in Places. I can mount the Vista partition through terminal, which tells me the two are still communicating. I would like to be able to view the file system from a window for future use with WINE.I am also looking for a file search engine for jdownloader similar to xdccreport.com for irc.What is the easiest to use most integrated derivative of Ubuntu?(From the standing point of a life long windows user?)
i was just wondering what linux distro (in your opiniion) is the easiest to use for a new user like myself. I currently use Zenwalk, which isn't bad but i hope there is something easier to use out there
So what is the easiest way to install Ubuntu with win7 also on the computer?I'm asking because last time I ran Ubuntu it was Wubi'd into XP and then it broke, breaking XP's bootkernel and then keeping me from booting into anything...
UI figured this would be the place to ask this question. I would like to download all the repositories to my PC for those crazy times when I don't have internet and need to install a program. I guess I would be making my PC a LAN Repository. What is the easiest/fastest way to get all the packages?
This is my first post and I figured why not start it off with a question! First off, thanks for this site, I have a LOT of reading to do!
Secondly, my question is, what is the easiest way to upgrade my live server from Fedora core 4 to Fedora core 14 (latest stable version).
I have a box that is live with a couple of small active forums on it where the upgrade would take place.
I want to upgrade my box to stay up to date with the latest release of Fedora linux to take advantage of any enhancements or security fixes that has been implemented since version 4.
My box is colocated at a data center. Would it be best to upgrade from a CD or remotely? I have read there is quite a risk upgrading the OS remotely and some issues like broken files or dependencies could occur.
Im trying to set up a web server on Linux and I was wondering if there may be any shortcuts available or a simple step process to get me where I need to be in regards to setting up the server.
I have somewhere between 8 and 12 servers, spread amongst different webhosts, all running CentOS 5.3. Everything on the servers has been compiled from source: > EngineX, PHP, MySQL, Munin, etc
I compile from source because I usually run ./configure to modify the source before installing. What would be the easiest way to keep the server software updated? I am considering creating custom packages from a server which I would keep up to date manually. Then use Capistrano or Puppet to install those packages on all of my servers.
I'm in the middle of moving my lab to a new server in the middle of the school year.. and need to copy all the user accounts to the new box, hopefully with all the student's passwords and contents of their folders intact.And since we are using the system daily, I need to do it all in an hour or 2.I'm thinking I can just
1. diff /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the old the new 2. copy all the student folders to new /home 3. write a script to set the permissions on all the new /home folders to match the user names.
It seems easy and safe so long as I back up the 2 existing files..Any reason not to try? Or is there an easier way?
I currently have my home folder encrypted with 128 bit encfs but i have the back up of that 'in the clear' on my back up hard drive. I am not that great with complicated instructions and especially the terminal so what if any is the easiest program to encrypt with?
With Windows XP, I just right clicked a folder/directory and pressed FIND then I could search for whatever file/folder name i wanted to. I could even do custom searches based on the size, modification date etc.How do you do this on Ubuntu? There doesnt seem to be a way to easily do it like this. So far i found PLACES -> SEARCH FOR FILES but that means I have to go into the directory i want. Where as I would much rather be browsing through directories and THEN want to quickly search in a particular folder. The SEARCH FOR FILES method in PLACES just wastes more time.
I need to install ubuntu 10.10 into 30 computers (using windows XP). I don't want to take each computer, format it and install the new operation system.(That's going to take too much time). Some documentations about the way that I can accelerate this process.
I need to setup a mail server, purely for relaying mail to a MS exchange server. A previous employee used Postfix on CentOS. I have limited Linux knowledge and no experience with any mail server software other than MS Exchange, so we cannot continue with this solution (unless I can find a way of managing it all from a gui). Does anyone know of an MTA that can be configured completely by GUI? Everyone says sendmail has millions of features and loads of documentation, but I simply do not have the time to learn it. I need something that can be configured with minimal knowledge and via GUI, not command line. The only reason I'm not using Exchange is to try to save money, and hopefully it will be more secure.
I got myself a dell laptop from the local computer store. Its a used machine with Windows Vista Home Basic on it. I want to load Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 though so I can do perl development. BUT I want to keep a copy of the entire harddrive with the dell utility partition and Windows Vista in case I want to go back. I was thinking I could image the drive but I not sure what to use, I don't have Ghost or anything, Someone had told me about Clonezilla. Would that work for me? Is it hard to use? Also I want to burn the data to a DVD or something more storable than a harddisk.
I now have 3 desktop computers hard wired into my wireless router and another desktop plus 2 laptops connecting wireless. All are running Ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10. I have not had the chance to get them all upgraded yet. What is the easiest way to get these computers connected so that they can share files? Do I have to set up a server or is there a simpler way? I just want to be able to copy a file from one computer to another.
What's the easiest way to search for a string in a text file in GNOME or on the console? I used to do this in kfindfile back on KDE.I'd like to avoid downloading something like desktop search if at all possible because I'm away for the holidays and stuck on a dialup connection.
Which is bit tricky (I learn slowly linux unfortunately due to low skills in informatics)
The cdrom debian installer to be put is located here, http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...86-netinst.iso
I tried unetbootin to make this pendrive, and it seems to be working, but not perfect. it hangs after the territory, saying that nothing into /cdrom is mounted.
Without unetbootin, how should we do to make a pendrive iso-cd/debian-503-i386-netinst-like bootable?
Have done a bit of Googling around this but got totally swamped so will try here. Basically we are running a CentOS server which hosts a number of virtual hosts under Apache. Recently I needed to set up a development environment for another site using Ubuntu and have this running and accessible on the LAN from a VMWare image. I'm using bridged networking so the VMWare machine has its own IP on the LAN subnet.
I've set up a DNS to point to the external IP of the physical host but can't figure out how to route traffic requested on this domain to the VMWare host. I've basically tried two approaches (configuring a proxy web server and reverse proxy in an httpd.conf file and mucking around with iptables forwarding rules but without success.
Ideally I'd like somesite.somewhere.com to point to the VMWare IP but I could live with a custom port on the end if thats whats required.
To throw further complication into the mix I need reliable communication between the VMWare machine and external mail relay servers in order to debug any issues with mail bouncebacks, embargos etc.
Any idea what's the easiest way to accomplish this?
