May 21, 2011
I wish to change the default location of IPtables file from /etc/sysconfig to somewhere else. But i am confisued about it. please help me to solve this problem.
I run ubuntu karmic 64 bit and have 2 displays (Working just about perfectly ). One problem i do have is by default all desktop icons appear on my secondary display. Is there any way to change it so they appear on my primary display?

Since school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.
what directory is the iptables configuration file located in? i'm not used to opensuse and i've been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find it.
I'm setting up a server with Jaunty Jackalope version. I'm trying to test setting up a basic iptables rules... No matter which command I put in, it is failing on the first command when I run iptables-restore < file location (the first rule always fails). I'm doing this on the root user and first typing in the iptables rules in a test file. I've tried the first command starting with % sudo, iptables and -A. All have the same result. I've also tried letting the HTTP rule be first with the same result.
I have got a question, my fileserver is up and running and is working great but if i want to download something by HTTP using the command wget [url] it does not show up in my server...
I think this is because my server location is : /Home/samba/
How do i change my default download location to /Home/Samba/ so i can see this in my network?

I am moving to Banshee on all of my 10.04 systems (anticipating the future of Ubu). Banshee has been doing something I don't understand and which seems very wrong (and which is actually causing some problems, if minor). First let me explain the arrangement. I have a server with a music share we'll call server:/tunes. On all of the machines and for all the users there is a mount (/media/tunes/) for said share.
Additionally so that all users have the same transparent experience, each user has a shortcut at ~/Music/tunes (which points to /media/tunes/). Through this I don't need to alter the default library location and all of the music on the server is automatically part of every library (and all library content and playlists have the same paths). However, Banshee has decided for some files to do one of three things:
1. It points (correctly) to only ~/Music/tunes/path/to/song.flac 2. It points (wrongly) to only /media/tunes/path/to/song/flac 3. It points to both and there is a duplicate entry I have not knowingly given Banshee the path /media/tunes/anything.
Using openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3, where should I look for the default printer settings?
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser which for some reason prints right down to the bottom of the page cutting off the top part of the last line on that page. The default settings for the top and bottom margins are 0.50 inches. During installation using Yast2, the test page printed with correct borders.
When I change the bottom margin in options (from Ctrl-P), the page prints with the bottom margin set to 0.50 inch. The problem is I have to reset that margin every time I print a new document.
Where can I change that default setting? I've searched in /etc, /var, and /home but can't find it.
Just trying to figure out how to change the virtual HD location. I want to use a large storage drive to host the HD and snapshots on. I was able to fumble my way through the snapshot part. How can i tell Virtualbox to use my storage drive rather than my local boot drive to store / run guest from? also, I can migrate the guest HD AFTER install cant I?
if you try to browse the web from the machine, or log in through a nomachine (nxclient/nxserver) session, it claims there is no internet conenction. You have to run System|Administration|Network and select the stored "Location" for our wired connection. There does not seem to be an option to make this (one and only) "Location" the default. If the machine is up and incoming connections are possible (samba & apache), surely outgoing connections should be working without extra fiddling?
The issue with nxserver (nomachine) becoming unavailable on a re-booted unattended machine (unless someone logs in AT THE MACHINE and runs System|Administration|Network) is causing problems for remote access.
I installed fedora 12 very recently after which I installed a few files. I don't know where these files get installed. Is there a default location for newly installed files? If there is one, is it possible to change the location?
I installed new jre in linux. but i when i checked env variable $JAVA, it is showing old version. how to set the default java env variable to new installed location
I avoid capslock like the plague and use "ctrl:nocaps" when in X, and would like to have the same behaviour in the console. Back when I was using Debian I got it set up the way I want, but now I can't seem to locate the default keymap. I tried editing
I've started a new job and have inherited a couple of RHEL4 64-bit servers. The firewall on them is currently disabled. I'm struggling to get them up and running as iptables is not the most user-friendly application. This lead me to downloading and trying a GUI front-end: Guarddog. Great app! But it doesn't have the default behavior I'm looking for. Here is what I need:
Default behavior: Firewall should be wide open, allowing ALL ports/IP's/TCP/UDP in and out of the server. Blacklist: Oracle TCP port 1521 needs to be blocked in/out of the server.
This will help get us passed our company's security vulnerability scan. (We aren't able to patch/upgrade Oracle at this time because we'd lose vedor support with a legacy app). I will use these settings as a starting point, and then once I learn more and get more comfortable with iptables (or a GUI app) then I can fine tune things to make them more secure. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) once I get a script I just copy it into /etc/rc.firewall and it will load when iptables starts.
I've read "Can't choose my 2nd HDD to install Ubuntu" and "How to move GRUB?".but my problem seems not exactly the same as them. I have three drives:
1) SATA drive on first port with Windows on it 2) IDE drive with Ubuntu9.10 on it 3) new SATA drive for Ubuntu10.04 I want to remove the IDE drive and put it in a safe place as a backup.
I installed 9.10 on the new SATA, intending to see if I could get Upgrade Mangager to offer me Lucid Lynx. I should have unplugged the IDE drive but I didn't. Anyway, the Ubuntu9.10 CD installer did find the new SATA disk which I had partitioned using my original 9.10 setup on the IDE. It did put Ubuntu onto the first partition of the new SATA where I wanted it. However, if I disable the IDE in BIOS I get just a blinking underscore at the top left conrer of the screen on reboot. Why would the installer do this to me? Nevermind, perhaps a better question is this: How do I check where GRUB2 has been installed and if, as I suspect, it's put GRUB2 on the IDE, what's the simplest and safest way to get GRUB2 put on the boot sector of the new SATA disk?
The notification area in the panel comes up each time I boot with Irl as the geographical location. If I click this it changes to GBr (which is correct). Is there any way of stopping the Irl display, or at least make GBr the default at boot time?
I am currently trying to best configure my Natty Narwal linux distro. At boot, the system is configured to automatically connect last Wifi network. When I connect to the WIFI however a whole bunch of instructions are loaded in the IPTABLES.
How can I make the bar on the up of the screen down. I want it to be like in ubuntu 10.04 down of the screen. What is the difference between 11.04 dvd.iso and 11.04 cd.iso. Isee a 11.10 dvd.iso. Is that a pre release ?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and started messing around with my firewall, it got a little too complecated for me, so I just would like to be able to somehow restore the default iptables setting. Any idea how I can do this?
When I started off with fedora 12, I did not think I would be using more than 20GB for the file system. But recently I have been installing a lot of new games / software that have been using up that space. I however have the home directory on a separate partition. What I want to know is whether or not we can change the installation directory when using yum ? I know the other option (installing from source), but that would mean tedious handling of dependencies.
I have an SSD and i was wondering if i could change my trash location to an SD card that i always have plugged in, so that i write less to the drive and maybe extend the life of my ssd.
