Running knode with 11.3 and KDE 4.5 (same problem with 4.4) it is
impossible to drag articles into local folders. Indeed there seems no
way of using local folders at all. Is this a bug, or something wrong
with my setup?
How do you get linux to resolve local hostnames without DNS?
I've recently migrated from a fully windows home network, to a few linux machines and im unable to ping any local machines with hostname via these linux machines. i can ping IP and internet hostnames. also, windows > anything pings ok too. however linux > anything will not ping via hostname.
I beleive it's an additional service running on windows to resolve hostnames without DNS (wins/netbios).
DNS is done via a netgear DG834 router (DNS forwarding).
I know i could either use direct IP, or add machines into the hosts file, but im wondering if theres some way around that and to have it dynamically update like it does on the windows machines. static mappings seem a bit silly inside DHCP zones
I've seen some reports of avahi causing local network issues (taking over the .local domain), but i think this only extends to having to manually enter in .local after the hostname and even after removing avahi, the problem is still present.
How to backup and restore local folders in K Mail. I understand that this is a rudimentary question-- under K Mail in 11.2 there is no backup and restore option for local folders (that I have been able to find anyway). I use 11.2 on this machine where I do all e mail, browsing and everything pretty much internet related. I am going to upgrade to 11.4 in another week and want to make sure that I understand backup and restore procedures for K Mail...in case something untoward happens during the upgrade to 11.4.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.
In gnome there is 'Shared Folders' gui under 'Systems' which helps with sharing folders however my one is not working. I wanted to find out why it does not work. I guess my question is, is there any way of running the 'Shared Folders' gui in debug mode?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using FC13 with BIND. I have a slave zone setup for my work domain. I can resolve .local FQDNs from the shell using NSLOOKUP but any .local FQDN from an application (GUI or CLI) results in "ping: unknown host". All other domains resolve fine. My guess is there is something with BIND that sees .local as an invalid domain suffix. Is there an option that I need to set/modify to force the resolution of .local entries?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an RHEL 5.3 system where NIS logins are working perfectly, but authentication doesn't seem to be working for non-root local users. I can't login either remotely or at the console with a local user, and I can't even su to them unless I'm doing so from root (i.e. when no password is required).
I've reset the password, I've deleted and recreated the user, and nothing. nsswitch.conf does have "files" listed as part of the config, which was really the main place I'd have assumed the issue could be. su gives "incorrect password", and ssh gives "userauth failure". /var/log/secure shows "su: pam_listfile(su:auth): Refused user <username> for service su", and same for the ssh attempts (with ssh in for su, of course). I've reviewed my pam.d files, and they seem to be the same as on a working machine, but I'm not 100% conversant with pam so I might be missing something.
I've been using Akregator as an RSS reader for years and never had a problem until this morning. It will fetch new feeds, in the "Feed" pane it will show that there are unread articles, but if you click on the feed, no unread articles show up in the article pane. I know there have been updates. Also, if I click on "All Feeds" (where there are supposed to be 461 articles) only 15 articles are actually displayed. I don't know what could have caused this. I tried nuking my akregatorrc and the .kde/share/apps/akregator/Archive directory, but it doesn't help. The only thing I changed yesterday was upgrading to the new Flash player. I'm guessing that's irrelevant.FWIW, this is in Slackware64 13.1 using KDE 4.4.3 and Akregator 1.6.3.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three Debian systems running, along with several XP laptops, PS3 and two DirecTV systems. I use two of the three Debian systems as media servers, and the third is an older system mostly for playing around with. My home network is running fine with the following nuisance. The two newer Debian (Lenny) systems are <barney> and <mitzi>, the older is named <oscar>, running Debian Sarge 3.1. From either locally or remote login to <barney> and <mitzi> I can ssh into either of the other two systems, however when logged into <oscar> I cannot ssh by name to either of the other systems. e.g. ssh: mitzi: Temporary failure in name resolution..However, from <oscar> I can ping outside my network (e.g. ping www.google.com) with no problems.I can also ssh to the other systems via IP address, just not by name.
I've compared the /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ssh/sshd_config and other files between the two systems and not seeing anything peculiar. arp, route, etc., don't show different behavior between the systems either.
I'll apologize in advance for I'm sure this has been covered already, but I'm not sure of the search terms to even use to begin solving this problem. I don't know what I don't know.
I have three computers on my home network and want to reach them by their name instead of IP address since their ip is dynamically assigned. I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL router and have noticed that there exists a "DHCP Clients Table" in the router that seems to hold all the necessary information - host names and ip addresses.
How can I get my computers to use that as the lookup table to resolve the host names? And is this even an optimal way of being able to resolve local names?
I'm finding that I can not resolve .local domains anywhere except with nslookup and found on the LucidLynx release notes that there is a problem with avahi causing this. Although the avahi service is convenient for locating printers and such can anyone else tell me what other services/options will be impacted on a default installation of Ubuntu if I disable this service?

I have transferred many emails from my hotmail account to a local folder system using Thunderbird, only to realize that I really want them in another machine. (The first time I put them into a VM). So I installed thunderbird again, and copied the whole Mail folder from the first install into the default folder of the second.Now the new thunderbird sees the folders, but will not display their contents; I have checked that the permissions are the same in the two installs. Both installs will happily download new emails from my hotmail account, but I don't really know how to transfer BACK everything in thunderbird(1) to hotmail so that I could bring it back to thunderbird(2).

I know dnsmasq can do this, so what would someone need to do to get bind to do this?The network is entirely private with all private IPs which are distributed by dhcpd.(While writing this, the feeling creeps in that it would be easier to just have dnsmasq running.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedUpon boot up, I get lots of new lines added to log files in /var/log concerning apparent problems during boot up. The boot sequence does attempt to show the failure or success during each step as it transitions to the final run level, but is there a good manual or procedure on how to fix each transition, so as to cut down on the amount of pesky warning or error messages?
I am a bit concerned that running a system with warning messages is a bit like running a car low on oil. In the past the goal was to have a perfectly running linux system that came up all the way, and yes, I have seen such. This meant knowing how kernel things work, etc, but still, I would think we would want to pay attention to such things as
[ 1127.997470] ALSA usbaudio.c:1274: 2:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1
[ 894.166132] isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16
and others and work to bring them to a minimum.
Right now I am working on things piecemeal as I go along, and it will take a lot of time.
I didn't dump the 10K's of log files into this message forum, in case someone asks to see the details, but I am just striving to have the system come up clean, and not with a message like:
Warning: Skipped 98 probes
(whatever that means?? did the kernel just mean that it knew that it is supposed to check 98 things but failed? or that 98 things should have gotten checked but didn't?)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a program to run on Ubuntu that must be easily set up to do a series of different cloning operations at specific times between the USB drives on a single Ubunu pc, depending on the day of the week." So on Monday folder B is forced to match folder A, Tuesday C forced to equal D ... and on Sunday a whole bunch of these clonings happen. This must all run unattended (at 2am) and be robust with no "what do you want to do next messages" or having the whole thing give up if there is a problem with one file. Though I do need a log of success or failure. Windows programs that do this stuff are FolderClone and GoodSync. I looked at Unison and Rsync and one or two others, but none appeared set up to do what I need, or to be excessively complex / general. I don't need something that can sync two copies, or over internet ....

I want to setup a folder (several really) for websites that use PHP.
I am running Linux Ubuntu with PHP, APACHE installed.
The Apache server works in Firefox as 127.0.1.1 no problem.
The default directory is (DocumentRoot) /var/www This is stored in a file called /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
PHP executes no problem, if it is in the default directory (/var/www).
However, I'd like to activate PHP in a folder on another hard-drive (also).
In that folder I'd like to store several websites, all which will use PHP and MYSQL.
The problem is, my boot drive where /var/www currently is located has only 2 gig of space (21 gig for operating system, which seems high).
PHP files in the other hard drive do not execute, even under APACHE server.
How can I safely change the PHP enabled folder? How can I add more folders, without erasing the current one?
I need some piece of software that follows the requirements below. So here's the scenario:
1. I need some piece of software that will allow me to edit related articles in a wiki-like fashion. I will be the only one editing this "wiki" though.
2. I need to be able to do searches/queries on the wiki content in a very flexible but also very concise way:
- The usual search for an expression in all articles or only some category(ies) but also:
- Wiki links to other wiki pages based on configurable criteria, e.g. articles belonging to some category(ies): I mean something like right-clicking would open a sort of database form to perform a query that would use the said link as expression but would only be run after you'd chosen your other criteria.
- If anyway possible, do the above for any selected text on the page you were watching...
3. Ideally this would be one single application of course. But I'm perfectly alright with coupling two or even more together as long as they do integrate with each other flawlessly.
I have an internal domain (dev.lan) for which my Ubuntu server is authoritative. We have a number of subdomains under that domain (test.dev.lan, svn.dev.lan, etc.). The server also acts as the primary DNS server for my office. It was originally set up under Ubuntu 8 and worked great.
However, ever since we upgraded to Ubuntu 10, our Windows clients periodically lose the ability to resolve domains on the dev.lan domain. Internal IP addresses can still be pinged from the Windows machines so it does not appear to be a network-connectivity issue. External domain names continue to resolve without any problems. The only workaround is to restart networking on the Windows clients. It's frustrating because it happens several times a day.
bind9 logs no obvious error messages.
I've got Samba up and running with the correct workgroup information, and I can access files on my network share, but I can't figure out a way to point Thunderbird to a network folder to import my old local folders. Is there any way to do this? Do I need to some how map the location so Thunderbird thinks it is physically on the local machine? If so, how would one do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing C++, I want to process sub-folders on my home folder sequentially each with a special naming format and containing some binary files in it:
Code:
1/
2/
3/
4/
5/
6/
...
Give above folders, I will process files in 1/ at first, 2/ at second, 3/ at third, and so on.
For some n/ folder, if I realize that n/ actually does not exist in local file system, I do not want to wait for it. Hence I will keep processing (n+1)/ folder, and so on.
However, when processing some (n+m)/ folder, previously not processed n/ folder may have been created on local file system. In this case, I do not want to miss processing it, but somehow detect its creation and process it. After processing n/ folder, I want to continue from (n+m+1)/.
Maybe it's to simple question but I don't know what to do.I have openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1.3. When I set desktop settings to display content of Desktop folder I can't drag files. They're fixed to their positions! I've tried different settings of folder view parameters but nothing helped.
