Ubuntu :: Convert PC To Server?
Feb 22, 2010
I have a desktop PC running Ubuntu 9.04. It has an AMD Athlon 3000 processor and 2G of RAM with two HDDs, one 450G, the other 110G. All my data on the desktop is backed up on the 2nd disk, together with data from 3 laptops. My plan is to use the desktop as a file and print server for the other machines and in the process free up some work space on my desk as I'll no longer need the screen and keyboard for the desktop.
So, I think, all I have to do is download the 32bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition and install it on the desktop. Then I'll be able to access the backed-up data on the 2nd drive, and have an in-house web server as well. I will be able to administer the new server from one of the other machines, hence the free desk space.

I am running single drive Ubuntu server 9.10 with a lot of software. Now I want to add one more disk (same size and type) and to convert this to RAID 0 without need of reinsallation. Is it possible and if yes how? I didn't find nothing for RAID 0. It sounds simple, but probably is not.

An easy way to convert wav files into mp3 (or ogg).
$ sudo-apt-get install nautilus-script-audio-convert mpg321 vorbis-tools lame nautilus-script-manager.
after that run
$ nautilus-script-manager enable ConvertAudioFile
Now, when you right click on audio file, under 'scripts', you will see ConvertAudioFile option.

For converting a WMA to a MP3 stream 24h by day, I consider to lease a virtual server.
Is this basically possible in linux (ubuntu server 8.04), maybe with Video LAN Client software?
In windows my command line is for my network

I have Ubuntu 9.04 and just installed Sound Converter. I am trying to convert a bunch of .ogg files to mp3 to play on my iPod and it's not working so well. In the Sound Converter options I have is set to convert to high quality mp3. I choose the folder that the files are in and after a moment (slow laptop) Sound Converter populates, I hit 'convert' and it shows that the conversion completes in two seconds. All that it did was create the new folder structure of artist/album but there is nothing in there. Not sure what I am missing. I used Sound Converter before and it worked fine.

I have about 1k pdfs loaded for an education project on a linux based server. That said we just found out we need them all to be PPT's to work well with the desktop sharing software. They are all categorized nicely so I dont want to recreate the wheel. Trying to see if there is some software anyone knows about that I can run and convert the files?

Bu My pc is more that 3 and half years old. So, I want to know is it will be good idea to convert my pc into web server or should I get a new one? Or what do you say If I get a used pc.

I have these file systems for my linux distro. I dual boot with another OS that has its own file system. My primary disk drive has ten(10) partitions of various sorts to implement this. If I boot Linux, is there some way to point the virtualization parts at those other file systems to boot rather than load other different files into Linux file space?
Clearly, I'm missing something in how Wine, VirtualBox and similar virtualization currently happens. But what I describe above surely seems more attractive.

I have a lot of .flac files downloaded from several sites. Most of them come with a .cue file, and the .jpg with the cover, etc. It seems it is the intention of the uploader that one rebuilds the original CDDA. However, if I had a stand-alone CD/DVD player with flac I would hardly see the point of converting the flac to cdda. Furthermore, I could even play the flacs with a software player although, in this case, the audio quality would not be so good due to the noise picked up by the signal from the PC digital circuits.

How to Nat. I wanted to be able to resolve something like
ftp.myfirstdomain.com to 192.168.0.2
Then ftp.mysecond.com to 192.168.0.3
Just as a random example, I know these cannot be done using name based virtual hosts like in Apache. But I got this working internally using my LAN connection and the 2 IP addresses above, with Bind DNS pointing the dns's to those 2 ip addresses respectively. This worked, yet when I tried connecting from my work place to transfer some files, it kept going to the default user's home directory. Just wanted to get this project finished, 2 domains and one public facing IP address.

Here is my system: I have dell poweredge 1950 PERC 6 with 300 GB raid system. It has two disks of each 300GB RAID mirrored system. I have few applications and data that reached around 280GB. As you know, poweredge 1950 we can have only two disk.
They are not mission critical. Hence, I wanted to remove the raid system and use as a non-raid system. By doing it, The applications and data can grow upto 600GB. I do not want to loose the data and setup. I am not so clear about RAID system and its conversion.

My Mac crashed, and the Hd is in trouble, however I have Linux, and no windows or anything. So I took my backup DMG, to install it. However I cannot get it on a disk, and Mac cannot boot. Is there a way to convert it to an ISO, then just use Brasero Disk Burner to regularly burn it onto a DVD+DL?

I just realized I should have posted this in the multimedia forum. I tried to delete it, but did not find an option for that under edit. Hi there - I'm trying to convert an avi file into an ISO that I can burn to DVD. I found a page that gave really good, step by step instructions, on this site:[URL].. But things did not go quite according to plan. When I tried the first step, it said couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "lame-extras". I then got the following output, followed by all the installation stuff:
The following NEW packages will be installed: dvdauthor ffmpeg lame libavdevice52{a} libavfilter0{a} liblzo2-2{a} libmp3lame0{a} libsvga1{a} libxvidcore4{a} mencoder mplayer{a} 0 packages upgraded, 11 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Undaunted, I plowed ahead (what's the worst that could happen?), and went through with the rest of the steps. Finally, I created the dir to do the conversion, cd'ed into it, and ran the script, as instructed, and got the following (the file that I was using was an episode of Entourage, just as a test, as it was the shortest avi file I had):

I'm finally upgrading my 1GB RAM P3-800 fileserver by replacing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM in the otherwise good case. I'm moving to a quad-core AMD-64 CPU and 16GB RAM, and so I figured it'd be worthwhile to switch over to a 64-bit system at the same time (though it'll probably be a little faster either way, which has almost nothing to do with the CPU). But I hate having to reconfigure everything manually.
I did some searches, and there are several threads that say "no, you can't just convert". But why not? This isn't a desktop system, so I don't care about junk like Flash and the latest nVidia drivers. I'm essentially just replacing libc, programs linked against libc, and the kernel. Shouldn't this just be a matter of reinstalling all of the existing packages - which is very much the same thing as changing the distro version? What super mega secret complexity of "larger integers" am I missing?

I have tried to convert movie files like I used to on Windows with AnyVideoConverter... I installed WINFF, but it doesnt seem to work with anything. When trying to convert a .mov file, it does something on the terminal and it gives this: Unknow encoder -libxvid- ... and then nothing.
