I have set proxy for yum so that the packages that are not available on local mirror can be downloaded from other mirrors. But then i don't know how to set no proxy for my local server. Consequently it is not using my local mirror at all. Tell me how to set no proxy for the local mirror. I want my local mirror because it's damn fast.

I use Skype on my computer at work for IMs, I don't even try to use it for voice or video calls, but I constantly have problems with it.It seems like what's happening is a backend part of the program keeps freezing. The UI is responsive, but I'll notice when I try to send messages, I'll get a 'caution' icon next to them with a tooltip reading "Your message has not been delivered". If I try to quit Skype, it hangs and I have to kill -9 it.So my question is, is there a more reliable way to use Skype in Ubuntu, maybe a different program than the official Skype client? Remember, I only care about text chat.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed ubuntu server 10.04 32-bit and I installed XRDP so I can connect to it using RDP sessions. I was wondering if there is a better alternative to it. I have the following issues with it: 1. When I connect to the server locally using rdp it works just fine the first time. Then when I close the session I cannot connect to it again (it says connection timed out). Then if I uninstall then reinstall it will work again for another time then do the same thing. 2. I receive a protocol error when using Windows 7 or RDP version 6.1.7600 (Newest RDP version)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a configuration file for a network device(2100 lines). This device is configurable only over console line. If I copy chunks of those lines into terminal(I use minicom), there will be mistakes (sometimes some characters missing, space characters added etc). Hardware flow control and software flow control doesn't help either. I tried with cu utility, but same issues appeared. There will be mistakes even if I copy in ~100 line parts. What causes those missing/added characters? How to avoid those?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running a fedora server without issues for many years and recently updated to FC12. It turned out that there is a bug in OpenSSL in FC12 that caused me a lot of problems and I had to build apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL from source to get it working.I'm now looking at migrating to another distribution becasue Fedora is not appropriate for a production server environment in a growing company.
What I want to know is what is the most reliable distribution with regards automatic updates (bug free that is)? I'm comparing RedHat, Ubuntu LTS, Debian, etc. at the moment. Is there any report that looks at this topic?I'd expect RedHat would have the best, but I also have to take cost into account as it is the only platform that you have to pay for these updates.I read this but it seems to quickly move away from the "bug-free" question initially asked.
Fedora 10 (dual boot w/ XP) on Dell Optiplex with a Dell wirelessntennaI am on a university campus with campus-wide wifi network (so no router). I have a wireless HP printer that I want to be able to print to using an ad-hoc connection. The wireless antenna, networking, and wireless printing are all working in Windows XP (so hardware is OK). However, on the linux side, the wifi is really really finicky.
When I first boot up to fedora, it usually connects no problem to the campus-wide wifi network. If I try to switch to the ad-hoc printer network (which it sees), will not connect and, furthermore, it will no longer connect to the campus-wide network (and sometimes it doesn't "see" this network at all). It seems that restarting the Network Manager service sometimes helps to reconnect to the campus-wide network, but not always and I can't connect to the ad-hoc regardlessNOTE: I'm just barely a linux user, and I didn't set up my system - don't assume that I did anything that would be common sense and, if you can, walk me through your suggestions.
I'm wanting to create a one-time snapshot archive of all my data in case something catastrophic ever happens to my main hard drive and my backup drive. I should add that I update my main backup regularly, which means that I wouldn't notice any creeping data corruption problems until it's too late...which is another reason a one-time snapshot is so important.Since I'm archiving a snapshot of all of my data at once, only a hard drive is big enough to handle the job. (I'll copy a small fraction - the truly 100% irreplaceable stuff - to DVD-R's too, but that doesn't mean I particularly want to lose any of the other stuff either.) Unfortunately, this means my storage medium doesn't inherently have any CRC's, error correction/redundancy bits, etc. built into it like data DVD's might.
So: What archive format would you suggest using for maximum reliability and resistance to corruption?My main concern is making sure that I can still open the archive and extract surviving files even if some of the bits (or the entirety of other files) go corrupt. This is my last-ditch fallback archive, so if I ever need to use it, I really, really don't want to get a message saying the archive is corrupt and cannot be opened at all! Because of that, it's important that the individual files and folders are compressed separately from each other...if at all. I don't care about the compression ratio, and I'd even be happy if the archive was 150% the size of my data thanks to a gigantic recovery record. I also care about CRC's and such, since I'll want to know which files/folders/etc. are corrupt vs. which ones are still intact.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSince all what I can find on google is about benchmarks I'd like to ask you if a 64 bit kernel would be more stable , secure and reliable than a 32 bit one.
I ask this question because apparently the 64 bit instruction set offers more advanced security features (i'm saying apparently because I'm not able to give details since it been a really fast read) which would be used by a 64 bit Operating System (Apple also stated that 64 bit applications are less likely to be "attacked").
I have to assume that a 32 bit one does not use them right? Should I stick to 64 bit? (to be honest that "not for everyday" thing on ubuntu download pages made me wonder lol, because since intrepid i ALWAYS used the 64 bit version)
My "lowest" computer has a pentium processor (1,6 ghz dual core) according to lshw I have NX enabled and my ram is 2GB (might seem useless using a 64bit kernel on 2 GB but i'm more concerned about security now)
I have a dual booth system (ubuntu (64 bit) and windows 7 (also 64))... In both systems I have trouble with my wifi:Sometimes it works for a few hours without trouble and then I stops working every 10/15 seconds after reconnecting. In windows it keeps on reconnecting, but in ubuntu sometimes also the wifi logo/picture disappears from my panel, so I can't start wifi again or see it's status.
