So my work recently implemented some sort of VPN scheme to access programs through citrix. Basically, I log onto the network with a password. I go to the web page with the citrix apps. When I click on an app, it appears that a VPN tunnel is supposed to be created. For mac users, they have a VPN program that downloads initially, and presumably has the set up info in there. My problem is several fold:
1. I know very little about VPN. I assume that I need to set up openVPN on my machine, but have zero idea about how to do that.
2. IT of course doesn't support linux.
3. I'm not sure what information I need from IT to get my VPN connection working correctly.
FWIW, when I click on the app, i get a browser pop up saying "sorry, this function is not supported by your browser". On the window frame is "159.140.67.170=>127.79.63.33".
I just recently updated to kernel 2.6.35.10-83, and after the usual hassle of updating my ATI driver, it worked perfectly. Or so I thought ..
When i pushed the sleep button on my laptop to suspend the system, it turned out that it doesn't do so very well any more - it sounds like it turns off the harddrive, and then the screen just goes blank except for a blinking, but unresponsive cursor. Also, pressing numlock/capslock doesn't switch those little lights on/off.
The only thing I can then do is to hold the power button for a while to shut down.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have a solution?
I've been a Java developer for some time now and I always wind up removing a bunch of stuff from /etc/alternatives in favor of one of several freshly downloaded official Sun JDKs I've installed myself. I don't like circumventing things unnecessarily, though and I also don't like "re-inventing the wheel", either. If I had a better idea of how that system worked, perhaps it would not be required. I mean I usually write a script to switch between jdk's for different projects but perhaps I would not need a script if I knew how this worked
I have downloaded the ISO onto a DVD-RW and when i pop it into my Acer laptop it works and shows that there are 34 files but when i put it into my gateway laptop it doesn't read it and nothing is showing up on the CD?
I've made a Debian installer CD using a netinst image some time ago and tried to install it my self, but I couldn't get the X system to work, and I wasn't sure If i made the correct actions at partitioning the drives etc
My primary OS is Vista, but I want to dual boot with Debian. I have two large drives, C: and D:. D: now is not visible from Vista as Debian is installed in it and it's the drive that I want to install debian in it. I was using grub to select OS, but when I decided to ask for your help, I wanted to format the D: drive. While trying to find a way to format it (it wasn't accessible by windows), I deleted the partition so grub was giving a 22 error and I couldn't boot my system. Finally, I've fixed that and now I want help to format D: (if necessary) and then install Debian with a Graphical User Interface in D:, but keep Vista in C: also. I have the Debian Installer CD, but I don't want to proceed alone, as I don't understand everything at the partitioning state, and I don't want to do something wrong and mess C: (or the entire machine).
Sometimes, in fact quite frequently, when I boot up my system, PulseAudio does not work. ('Connection Refused'). If I log out of my normal account, log in as root, log out of root, and log back in to my normal account, this seems to reset Pulse Audio and it works again. Seems like a security glitch, but I can't be sure.
When I click on System Administration Display I get the root pasword entry. I enter the root password and then nothing. I stumbled on another way to set the resolution before but I can't find it now
I finally understand why I couldn't get Clonezilla to work on my system. But, I am more baffled than ever.
You see, my system has been in great working order for months. I am running 9.10 32-bit and I keep everything maintained on a daily basis. I just updated to kernel 2.6.32-19 and, like I say, everything is working pretty much perfectly. But, yesterday, I volunteered to help with some official Canonical Ubuntu testing. This morning, I got an email from them that they want me to do the work and giving me instructions on how to proceed. The first thing to do is free up some disk space in order to have a special partition on which to install their testing kernels.
So, I downloaded their suggested tool for doing this, gparted. And, when I ran gparted, the first thing I discovered is that my disk drive has absolutely nothing on it! No partitions, at all. It only sees an empty device, /dev/sda. This is exactly what Clonezilla told me a couple of months ago - no partitions could be located to be backed up.
I've created a custom Lucid installation using debootstrap, it works nice but have some problems, one of them is plymouth: it does not show the splash screen, when booting, I can only see a black screen, suddenly a green one and again black, when it is about to boot, some text messages appear and then the system starts. I'm only using X, no window manager, so I edited /etc/init/plymouth.conf and changed the start instruction from:
[code]...
But it remains the same, Plymouth does not show the splash screen.
I'm having a problem with my Ubuntu 10.10 system. After installing the OS it worked fine. But after one or two restarts it totally freezes i mean NO Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc , NO Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Del works for me. I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 , 9.10 also. ( Only Ubuntu version 9.04 Works fine for me ). But i want to make use the latest one. code...
After Ubuntu fails some time it crush the GRUB loader, so that i can't boot windows either. Any buddy tell me why this happen to me?
I've try to install Linux Mint 10 also but it freezes while installing..!!
Now I loaded the openSUSE 11.4 milestone 3. It works fine for now but i can't connect to internet , it asks for "linux-atm-lib" . i don't know how to do that .
I until now was using them on a 32 bit system.Ubuntu 10.04. Here I am switching the computer to 64 bit and want to build same environment how ever my confusion is above packages are approximately 430 Mb and are present in /var/cache/apt/archives on my 32 bit system.Can I transfer those to my 64 bit system and use or there is a difference in packages for 32 bit and 64 bit and I should be using a fresh install on the 64 bit system.
I have dell xps 14 laptop sometimes sound gets choppy it get started breaking in middle of playing music then i need to restart the system to make it work. how to solve this without restarting? i m using ubuntu 10.10
I have a Dell Inspiron 700m. I've been running Ubuntu since 2008. Every time I re-install the O.S. I have to alter the video driver. When 10.04 was released it crashed the system and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I left Karmic on and all was well. Well the DVD/CD drive never worked right under Karmic but no big deal.
Anyway, last week I attempted an upgrade. Everything went fine until upgrade finished and it was time to reboot.
Reboot hung, so I ended up killing the power and doing a cold boot. Now when booting from the hard drive, I get a brief flash of the Ubuntu welcome screen (in the wrong resolution) and then things die. I'm left looking at a grey curser in the upper left.
Worse yet, I can't boot from a live CD or USB. Neither, Ubuntu, openSUSE or Puppy Linux will boot from CD or from USB.
I double checked my boot order in the BIOS and still nothing boots. I reset the BIOS to factory Default, still nothing boots. I disabled the hard-drive in the boot up order in the bios and still nothing boots.
I can't figure out what happened and I can't access the machine at all exepet to enter the BIOS.
Ok, let me explained what I did. I was curious and decided to try out Gnome 3. Big mistake. I did a purge to get rid of it and now Unity comes back up. So far so good. Now none of my settings save... my "keep in launcher" apps do not stay there, my settings (accounts work fine) in Empathy don't stay and the weather settings reset. How do I get things to save when logging out or rebooting?
I've downloaded Vidalia, but instead of No Configuration, I chose One-Time Restart, and now whenever I try to open TOR, it says that it is already running. I've rebooted already, but that didn't help at all. I would like to start using TOR as an experiment and to remain anonymous. Sure, there's HideMyAss! add-on for Google Chrome, but I just want to try it all out. Can someone help me?
This is what it says
"Vidalia detected that the Tor software exited unexpectedly. Please check the message log for recent warning or error messages." code...
I am trying to make multiseat work on my system. (By which I mean I have two keyboards, mice, and monitors, that will act like two separate workstations.Hardware-wise I have a GeForce 210, which has multiple monitor outputs. Keyboards are one PS/2, one USB, mice are both USB. My distro is Kubuntu 10.04.I have dual screens with a single user working fine, but nothing I've tried for multiseat has worked.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX - first seat works fine, nothing on second seat
Xephyr, as discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620003 - I can't make KDE start in the Xephyr window, it gives dbus errors, and in any case I'm not sure how to get the keyboards and mice set correctly
I have an Asus N73JF (N-series). So I have the Asus SonicMaster on this laptop. But is it possible to get the power of SonicMaster on a linux system? I'm using Mandriva 2010.2 64-bit Gnome.
I am running Debian Testing and can't get Plymouth Splash to work on my system.When splash is put in the grub line it locks up on boot up.Here are my system specs:
i have tried following the instructions for installing but nothing seems to work that do i need to know or ask that i am not doing to make this work. i made a dvd from the .iso but it does not want to do anything. i talked with the board manufacture about the bios needing to recognize the dvd but he said that bios does not have anything to do with it. it only sees it as an optical drive. what are the files on the dvd that the boot system needs to see for it to work? and lastly why does linux have to make things sooooo difficult.
I have a 3 year old PC with 4 internal SATA ports. My old SATA hard drives, all smaller than 2TB, work fine. If I buy a 3TB SATA hard drive, will it work in Linux? Will Linux with GRUB be able boot from such a hard drive without a BIOS upgrade? With a BIOS upgrade? It's fine for me to upgrade my Linux to the newest kernel.
It seems that when I asked this last week the thread I posted in was likely a bit tired and I did not receive any responses/suggestions, etc. As a result I am posting this anew to see if I can get some help in something that has really started to get to me .I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction because I am trying to install the MP560 onto a 64bit (AMD Athalon II x4) Ubuntu 9.10 (fully updated) and having no luck even using the process from jmcvey (msg#10 in this thread, dated 13 Nov 2009in which he outlined the following process ( I refer to this message as jmvey #10):= START = = = = = = = = jmcvey - 13 Nov 2009 = Re: printing with Canon Pixma MP560= = = =If you check the Canon Asian site, they have drivers available (although the MP560 is the MP568 on the site; once you get to the driver page it states "MP560").
I'm setting up a gui-less music server so there's no login, and I've tried using mplayer's lirc interface as well as irexec (sending mplayer slave commands to a fifo). But I can't get mplayer to work unless I start either irexec or mplayer from a logged in session. So my S99test is something like:
If I use the "mplayer" line, I do hear music at startup, but no lirc control. Yet if I log in and kill the mplayer and rerun S99test as root, all works fine.
I installed Karmic to a new hard drive using debootstrap, after running debootstrap I run chroot and install a linux imagage, usplash and some other packages (xorg among them). When booting from this disk, usplash shows the loading screen,but it never appears when shutting down, does anybody have an idea why this happen? Do you know how usplash is executed on shut down? Any other alternative to show an image when the system is shutting down
So I was stupid and careless enough to buy system with ATI Radeon HD6850.I have Maverick installed (64 bit) and everything was fine yesterday, I did usual update and today I get text prompt.I tried everything I already learned and upgraded to Catalyst 11.2 too (built packages from downloader installer), but with no luck.I see that aticonfig is now recognizing my card, which is promissing, but I'm unable to get the system to work with fglrx anyway.
I've purged the fglrx and friends, removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and now I'm running on vesa with lower resolution.But I'm quite pissed off for loosing my morning on fixing (or failing to fix) yet another problem with ATI.

I'm currently in distress because my Ubuntu system that has my university assignment doesn't work. Not only that, when I tried to fix it I managed corrupt the dual boot I had and now cannot login into either Windows 7 or Ubuntu (besides the USB tryout version which I'm currently on now.I'll try and describe what happened in the beginning. I was rushing to get to class so I needed to shut down my Ubuntu system quickly. The quickest way was to obviously hold down the off button however later when I got home to finish off my uni assignment I couldn't boot into linux! I just get a dos command line with the word grub on it.However not only did it not fix my problem I now can't boot into anything except from this Ubuntu Live CD.
