ever since i installed Lucid, firefox's pop-up blocker has been much less effective, I'm getting four or five pop ups per session, and i have never put any exceptions into firefox's settings under the pop up blocker. any reason this should be happening?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu on my laptop (x200s, XPpro with 230 Gb), and created a 30Gb partition therefore. At the end of the install, the screen remained orange for a while, without any disk activity. I forced the laptot to reboot, but Ubntu was no option when the machine restarted. However, my XP partition has been reduced by 30 Gb. Does anybody have an idea about what I should do to either get Ubuntu installed or recover the disk space?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am studying for the LPIC-1 exam, and reading a book that they recommend: "Introduction to Linux: A Hands-on Guide", by Machtelt Garrels. There's one question on the 4th chapter (Processes), that I found confusing: Question: Based on process entries in /proc, owned by your UID, how would you work to find out which processes these actually represent?
What does he mean? If I run the command (considering that my username is sl33p):
Code:
$ps -u sl33p
...gives me the right answer?
The ps man page says:
-u userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name.
This selects the processes whose effective user name or ID is in userlist. The effective user ID describes the user whose file access permissions are used by the process (see geteuid(2)). Identical to U and --user.
I've been reading about getopt and getopts but it doesn't seem like it's possible to parse arguments like --foo or even -foo. I've started my own script trying to achieve this, but I'm still wondering if I'm losing performance and if there is a better way to do this task.
Also I'm using the [[ =~ ]] regex syntax which seems to be available only in newer bash versions, should it be a big issue? My bash version: GNU bash, version 4.1.7(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

I have two NASes. I work off of one, and the other is used as a backup. As I have it set up now, it's slow. Running a backup takes a week. Even for 7 TB, with 1,979,407 files, this seems a bit outlandish,particularly as both systems are RAID-5 and the network is all gigabit. I've been digging about in the rsync man pages, and I really don't understand what differentiates the various topologies.Right now, all the processing is being done on the backup NAS, which has the main volume from the main NAS mounted locally over SMB. I suspect that the SMB overhead is killing me, particularly when dealing with lots of files.
I think what I need is to set up rsync on the main nas as a daemon, and then run a local rsync client to connect to it, which would hopefully allow me to completely avoid the whole SMB-in-the-middle affair, but aside from mentioning that it's there, I can find very little information on why one would want to use the daemon mode for rsync.
Here's my current rsync command line: rsync -r -progress --delete /cifs/Thecus/ /mnt/Storage/input? Is there a better way/tool to do this? Edit:Ok, to address the additional questions: The "Main" NAS is a Thecus N7700. I have additional modules installed that give me SSH, and it has rsync, but it's not in the $PATH, and I havn't figured out how to edit the local $PATH in a way that persists between reboots. The "Backup" NAS is a DIY affair, built around a 1.6Ghz Via Mobo with a Adaptec Hardware RAID card. It's running CentOS 5 with a full desktop environment. It's the hardware I'm running rsync from. (Gigabit is through a additional PCI card).
Further Edit: Ok, got rsync over SSH working (thanks, lajuette!).I had to do a bit of tweaking on my command line, I'm running rsync with the args:rsync -rum --inplace --progress --delete --rsync-path=/opt/bin/rsync sys@10.1.1.10:/raid/data/Storage /mnt/Storage (Note: I'm specifically not using -a, because I want to change the ownership to the local account, to not freak-out SELinux)
Just a few words in the form of introduction.I have just purchased an older server to use on my home LAN.I understand that the use of Linux or Unix as an operating system will be effective in detering the gathering of viruses from the internet.I am totally unfamiliar with either system, but if this is the case, that's about to change.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
How do I force Firefox to recognize a certain default firefox profile I have?
For whatever reason I can't get FF to show all of the add-ons I have. Yes, they are installed and they appear when as icons when I first boot up but after I close FF and start it again there are no icons (like Adblock).
Im using firefox version 3.6.12 and it functions fine. However when i use the latest version of this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...11377/#reviews the screen goes grey and firefox crashes. Restarting firefox only results in more crashes. I had a older version of this addon-1.5 i believe that worked fine.
