I recently converted and .avi file to dvd .iso and when I try to play it in my dvd player. I get this message "playback prohibited by area limitations". I was wondering what does that mean and how do I get this movie to play.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to set up an ssh tunnel so that I can use an internal dev apache server inside a network. The machine is at 192.168.0.10. If I'm ON the machine and type "http://localhost:80" the Apache test page serves up fine. If I'm inside the network and type: "http://192.168.0.10:80" the Apache test page serves up fine.
However, if I use the IP address and the following:
ssh -L 8888:192.168.0.10:80 me(at)xxx.yyy.zzz.ip
and then type "http://localhost:8888" I get a blank white page, no errors, and a note
"channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited" appearing in the Xterm where I've opened the tunnel.
A similar command:
ssh -L 8888:my.ip.at.home:5900 me(at)my.ip.at.home opens up a tunnel just fine, through which I run VNC. I've checked the firewall on the apache server, and it's offering up port 80. I've checked that "PermitTunnel yes" is in the config. The router allows ssh on port 22, both tcp and udp.
I need to share some space on my hard disk with my wife, over our home network. I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows.
My Ubuntu partition is limited to 30GB, and the Windows partition gets all the remaining disk space. Does /host suffer size limitations while being accessed through Ubuntu, or it's size is the same as the Windows partition?
EDIT: For the record, she's using Windows XP on her machine, only... no dual boot. Couldn't get her off Windows yet, but i'm still trying
Coming to the point, as per object, I'm playing ( read also as "messing up" ) with mldonkey since last weeks and I have managed to get it working correctly on my home network ( behind router and firewall ). Next step in my development plan was to enable remote access to mldonkey web interface from any external network, like for example a friend pc. I'm aware of the "IP Access Restriction" in the mldonkey configuration file (downloads.ini) but there I can only specify an ip ( or ip-range) to allow access.
So the question is: how can I manage to disable* ip restrictions upon access, so that with a DNS-aliasing service I can access mldonkey web page virtually from anywhere?
(*) = maybe this is not the correct word but it explains the concept.
I'm considering setting up a virtual machine running Windows, with Ubuntu 10.10 as the host OS, for those cases where I have a Windows-only program.I understand that using a VM will lose some performance, but are there other limitations to what the OS in a virtual machine can do compared to "running on bare metal"?
For example:
Can a VM play games, like Dragon Age Origins or Civilization V? (Possibly with poorer framerates and/or lower resolution, but does it play at all?) Can a VM rip DVD/Blue-ray using AnyDVD or similar Windows program? Can a VM handle new hardware that requires dedicated drivers, but the drivers are only available for the OS running inside the VM? (Ex. graphics card, digital camera, card reader for smart card authentication.) Is it possible to say anything about "general limitations" of VMs, or is this wholly dependent on the specific VM?
I noticed that firefox sometimes uses a lot of memory. Can something like setrlimit be used to control it? I tried to use it on the command line, but it didn't work.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a network camera, with a linux OS. We need it to be really precise in its timing for the specific application we want it for. But it's not!
After killing some of the garbage processes on it (and having some achievements, but not enough), it seems that there's some kind of bandwidth limiting applied on the outgoing traffic.
My question: What are all the things that should be done on a machine, running linux, to remove all the bandwidth limitations?
Notes:
1- With my very basic knowledge about traffic shaping in linux, I have made these observations:
# tc qdisc ls dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
# tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
2- I am trying to download the images from an HTTP link, and I already have about 14Mbps. I want it to reach at least 50Mbps. I can download with speeds higher than this when downloading from another PC on a windows network. So I assume this is not a problem with the cables. Also the eth0 on the camera is said to be a 100Mbps device.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a network of 100 machines, all with ubuntu Linux. Is there a limit to the number of machines that can connect to one single machine (at the same time)? For example, can I have 99 of my machines maintain continuous ssh connection to the 100th machine? Can I have every one of my machines (every one of the 100) maintain a continuous ssh connection to all other 99 machines? How much memory does each such a connection take?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to make some solution for my home network, I have a linux server which is: Linux Centos 5.5. So, what I need to do is to make a virtual interface for my clients which set its bandwidth up to 1Mb/s shared to them, but my real bandwidth is 2Mb/s. Also, after that, I have two questions:
1. How to set this rate limitation to that interface?
2. How to edit this interface to let it work and route the client data to my ADSL router?
I'm already generate the virtual interface using webmin managment tool, so I need to set its rate and route data.
I'm getting these messages Over SSH with the -D switch
Code:
At uni I did this for a couple of reasons, primarily to connect to trackers for bittorrent. I would get these messages fairly often but I never thought much of it because I figured I was just loosing packets over the network or something (understandable in my situation). At home I decided to continue to use this method because that computer is set up in DMZ and is very useful. I havn't received many of these messages but recently all my torrents stalled and I had a whole bunch of these messages. Is it possible my computer just cant handle all the network connections (it's a 2ghz AMD running debian)? What exactly do these messages mean? Is there any way to optimize my connection in any way?
I have the impression that not that many people understand the scope and limitations of GNU General Public License. This is somehow my basic understanding of it. If I take a program covered under the GNU license, first of all I have the right to get the source code. Second, I can modify it at will. Third, I can redistribute it as will too but the new code will necessarily will have the same GNU license. This made me wonder how people actually can charge for software derived from Linux, for instance, Red Hat. Well, my impression is that they really make profit only out of services. In this thread [URL] I think I found a lot of confusion, even from a moderator (not intended to offend). Red Hat is based on Linux and it is necessarily covered under GNU. Somebody probably bought the program from RHE and can make it available at no cost.
Nevertheless, the moderator decided to warn the user. In this article [URL] it says the following:"Our training is not designed to promote vendor lock-in. Though these courses are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the source code for [RHEL] is available to the community via the GPL [GNU General Public License]," said Red Hat spokewoman Leigh Day. This thread [URL] shows yet more confused people. Is there is a glitch in this type of license that prevents programs like RHEL to be redistributed for free? Why their license page doesn't mention GNU license? Or the problem is just that people get overwhelmed by this license and are afraid to be penalized and get paralyzed? By the way, RHEL is just the example. The key question is about the license!!
The only problem I have is that I can not remove notification bar from the top and place it in bottom. I am getting the error in the enclosed screenshot. Is there any body know how to solve this problem. I have gone trhough all steps in the above link and only left is to set the notification area
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was used to use the network and battery icon in the notification are (next to the sound and date/time). Now the bluetooth, battery, network, sound and envelope icon are visible, but there is no responds clicking on it.Pressing the mute-button on the keyboard changes the icon in the notification area. Also connecting a wireless network changes the icon.But to change network is becoming impossible by clicking the icon (and I do not know an other way to change it).The only thing I can think of was whitelisting all programs:Code:sudo gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"This was the only change I made.EDIT: Icons of external programs do respond.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the notification area displayed in my panel. Normally, it shows one speaker icon, one battery icon, and one wireless network icon.

This used to work fine, and I can't figure out what I did to mess with it.

I've got a very annoying problem with my top bar and the notification area. The icons/applet's order is completely messed up. The icon's overlap, some do not show at all, and sometimes some do not load (seeing a black square instead). Most applet's can also be accesed through Applications or System, but especially the wireless app is necessary to be there. Perhaps there is a way to get to it via another way then the notification area, but then I dont know where . The problem isn't consistent; sometimes it's there, sometime's it's not.
