I am using 9.10, 64bit. Firefox 3.5.7. When I open a fresh instance of Firefox, I can start typing common addresses in the address field, and it will give me a list to choose from based on what I typed. However If I let the screen saver kick in, I lose that ability, until I close all open firefox windows and reopen them.

I am using DHCP on my home network. There could be as many as 5 computers logged in at any given time. Their IP addresses change depending on the sequence they log in.I want to be able to connect to them from any of them (some wired, some wireless) and share files by issuing a mount command for the appropriate shared drive.My question is how to get the IP of each computer when I only know the names of the computers. Pinging the computer name succeeds, but it does not give the IP.In other words I am looking for a Linux command that will come back with a list of IP's with their corresponding computer names so I can issue the right mount command. I would like to issue this command from a Linux terminal, but would also be happy to issue it from a Windows XP station.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a machine with P4 1.6GHz and 512M ram. It's a bit laggy when running ubuntu 9.10. Especially after i open up Eclipse, things start to get very slow. I'm thinking about installing Xubuntu, but am wondering if installing debian(or arch) then xfce would be equivalent to installing Xubuntu, or would it be faster when using debian(or arch)+xfce combination?
Reason why I'm thinking about this is that the Ubuntu family including Xubuntu, tendd to integrate too much stuff for ease of use, while installing system from scratch and then building up from that could avoid those unnecessary extra features. What do you guys think?
I want VLC to be the default media player in my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. However, even though I right click on a media file and select it to open with VLC and ticks the "Remember this application for ..." box, files of this type still keep opening in the "Movie Player" application. It seems the "Remember this application for ..." box has no effect what-so-ever. Anyone know what might be wrong? Some configuration file somewhere that I don't have the right to or something?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of Windows servers and they all connect to 2 networks. One of them is all public IPs (an entire /24) which is protected by a pfsense firewall. The other network is just a 48 port gigabit switch that each machine accesses using a private (192.16 static IP on a separate nic. There is no gateway/DNS/DHCP server on this private network and we want to keep it that way.
I want to deploy a ubuntu server that will connect to both networks. This server will not sit behind our firewall. It will have a public IP address from our /24 and be connected to the switch that feeds our firewall and a second nic with a static private IP that will be connected to our private network. This server will need to run nagios, run a few command line items that grep log files and serve the output via apache, and act as a VPN to allow an outside machine secure access to the private network. Sitting on this private network are various web based GUIs for the switches, UPS boxes, etc that we do not want exposed directly to the Internet. Both of these networks are mission critical so I can't change any existing settings and I can't add anything to the existing firewall. There would only be a couple of VPN connections at a time.
Do you think that ubuntu 10.04 LTS server (32 bit) would be able to handle this? I am looking at running it on a supermicro Atom D525 box with 3G of ram and a small SSD for storage.

I have one hard drive with windows XP on it. Another with Ubuntu. As it stands there is no link between them. Is it possible to create a dual boot using these disks? - I do not want to reinstall any of them.
Preferably, I would like the boot choice (or booter? - not really sure what I'm talking about) to be on the newer Ubuntu drive.
It is on an old machine with 256MB Ram. So slow in fact, I'm going to change the desktop environment to Xubuntu - but that's mostly irrelevant.
As I understand it, I should make the Ubuntu drive master, XP as slave... but then what?
This morning I had 10 updates for my system including a new kernel 2.6.28-19 During install I was asked a question as to which menu.lst to use. I was completely confused as there was no documentation explaining the choices, so I took the default, keep my current menu.list. I did that because I have a modification to my menu.lst having added acpi-noirq I was afraid I would loose that and not be able to boot. Anyhow I ended up with my same menu.lst without the new kernel. So it booted the old kernel 2.6.28-18.Where is some documentation to give one some idea of which of the about 8 choices to make? I can't be the first with this problem. I have another computer to undate that has a different mod to menu list.I would like to know the correct way to choose the proper choice. If I don't get an answer I will try to document in more detail the choices.
I got around the problem by editing menu.list and copying the entries for 2.6.28-18 and changing them to 2.6.28-19 Many folks might not even realise they were running on the old kernel.
I converted my parents to use Ubuntu on their laptop, and they seem to like it. One minor issue though is that the microphone input preference keeps reverting, so every time they want to use an internet phone, they have to reset it manually by going to System/Preferences/Sound/Input and choosing the external USB microphone. Then they can launch the phone program (Skype in this case, but it doesn't matter which one.) My Dad asked me that he doesn't have to do this on Windows so why does he have to with Ubuntu? I am hoping there is a way for me to fix it so he doesn't have to. (We don't have a microphone that plugs into the "internal audio analog stereo" line.)
When they finish talking, they unplug the external microphone and this is when the preference seems to revert to the "internal audio analog stereo" setting, which makes sense, but when the external microphone gets plugged back in, it would be great if it "remembered" it. Is there a way to make this happen automatically?

I put windows 7 on my desktop which is a dell E521. I had windows vista on their previously and had a dual boot setup on it. When I installed win 7 on I just did the upgrade so I wouldn't have to reformat my hardrive and now when I boot up it will not show the option to boot into windows or ubuntu.
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust got a new laptop with Win7 and downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 to do a dual boot. Ran through the graphical installer setup my partitions and either I missed it or it did not give a choice of where to install Grub2.
Everything is working fine but of course Grub is my boot loader for Windows and Ubuntu which I do not like and never install that way. I have just had too many problems so I normally use EasyBCD.
So the question is, did I just miss the option to install Grub2 on the partition where my root is or did this option change? The last version I used was 9.10.
I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 server on a HP MediaSmart server. Attached is an eSATA multi-bay with four hotswap disks.Since these disks are rotating on a daily basis I'm looking for the best filesystem for hot swapping purposes. If there is no choice I'll just stick to ext4 with safe unmount. But if its possible I'd like something so I could pull the disk out without damage. In my case it would be safe to assume that the disk hasn't been written to in the last 5 minutes before rotating.
