Ubuntu Installation :: What Type Of Server Should Install?
Jan 29, 2011
I am going to be setting up my first ubuntu server this week, and I noticed in tutorials, that there are different options for what type of packages you want installed. I know a little bit, like what a DNS server is and such, but I am hoping somebody can shed some more light on the subject.I am pretty sure I won't need Postgresql or a print server, as the purpose of my server is to provide a low end platform that I can work on my php projects. I will be using PHP and mysql. I am also using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 32-bit edition.

I purchased an older Dell (p4 1.8G 256M) just to run some low demand programs. They don't require a GUI - just ssh/cli type of access. will be a server type - no kb or monitor. Can someone give me some pointers where to start at? I've never done a Debian install - the install process may address these questions - but figured I would throw it out here. I've used Ubuntu for several years now but I doubt that it would be the best distro for a legacy system....

I'm running Lucid Lynx 64bit. I tried installing VLC through the U-Software Center but it failed. So I tried it through command line and that failed. Here is the message I get:
Code: apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlcReading package lists. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: mozilla-plugin-vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.1) but it is not going to be installed

The title says it all. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my PS3, but the keyboard isn't typing. I can't complete the install, because I can't type anything. I've followed all the steps properly, everything goes smoothly, the mouse works just fine, and the capslock and numlock lights light up on the keyboard, and toggle when I press the corresponding buttons. The keyboard even works at the kboot prompt. After I choose the partition to use, I have to enter my information to continue. Without being able to type, I can't progress. The keyboard obviously works, since I can type just fine at the kboot prompt.This one's got me scratching my head. I'm going to try a 9.04 cd tomorrow, see if that works, but I was really hoping to get 9.10 on there.

Using ubuntu minimal install 9.10 for a htpc. My boot drive is a 2Gb disk on module. When using advanced install I am eventually given the option to format the drive and ultimately the option to pick what sort of partition table type. I am not sure what to pick; it appears to have msdos as a default. Here are my options:
aix
amiga
bsd
dvh
gpt
mac
msdos (default?)
pc98
sun
loop
Some appear to be obviously bad choices; but I am not sure. Any ideas on which would be a better pick for me? I have already used msdos and it seems to work fine.

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

I changed the first line of /etc/fstab in an attempt to get rid of an annoying message "mount: unknown filesystem type 'static'". All I did was put a "#" on the first line .... changing the original from:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
to:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
I have tried desperately to get to the file system so that I can edit that first line in fstab out but nothing works and the file system comes up as read only ...

My small Arch Linux server with Apache and stuff (no X) got owned (DOS).Here's my problem:1) Apache went nuts with the memory and cpu usage -2) SSH shut down after a minute, so I went to the computer with an open root login and started typing...Nothing! I can't type anything, but I can switch VC's with alt+arrow keys, Ctrl+S activates scroll lock, caps and numlock works too. But when I try to type to bash or login, nothing happens.After this I tried SSH'ing my server again.. it doesn't timeoutt it hangs when it should ask for password.debug lines worth mentioning:debug1: Connecting to servername [x.x.x.x] port 22.debug1: Connection establishedSo.. do you guys know any possible rebootless solutions to this? Wouldn't like to reboot my 465d uptime server, reboot count after install at the moment: 0. I don't think it will even be able to boot.

We new have server with VmWare ESXi4.1 and we created virtual machine with CentOS5.6.This CentOS5.6 virtual machine will be used as webserver. We need to backup all files and have access to these files. We are going to keep all websites, databases, backups on data storage (NetApp FAS2000 series).
We have two options to how to use this storage:
1: We can mount storage volume directly to CentOS5.6 by NFS.
2: We can add storage via NFS to VmWare and then add new virtual disks to CentOS5.6 by VmWare vSphere client.
What option would you recommend to use? Which option is better, faster and more secure? My thoughts:If we mount storage volume directly to CentOS5.6 so we can access .snapshot directory there is all snapshots. So it's easy to access all backed up files. NetApp has snapshot system and we can schedule to make snapshots automatically, so we don't need to setup any additional backup utilities in CentOS5.6. But we don't have any NetApp snapshot restoring software license so copy/paste from .snapshot directory is only option.
If we add storage to VmWare firstly (by NFS) and then add new virtual hard disks to CentOS5.6 by VmWare vSphere client so we have to setup rsnapshot(or any similar utility) to make backups in CentOS5.6. But NetApp will also make backups of .vmdk files. So it's like double backups, lol :) If storage crashes so we screwed in both ways, I think.

I will try to keep this straight-forward. Yesterday I was able to access an ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) desktop using the tightVNC viewer that I installed on my Vista laptop. I never set anything up on the desktop it just worked and I didn't question it.
Today I get the following error on the viewer software: "Server did not offer supported security type" The only thing that has changed was that I installed a bunch of updates yesterday afternoon, but I am not sure what changed.

I am installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 on and old Dell Laptop. The network connection is an Xircom PCMCIA card.During install, the computer sees and interacts via the network just fine. For example, I can ping the gateway. Also, the command "lspcmcia" works and show the Xircom card.When I reboot, however, there is no network access, and the "lspcmcia" command is not there. When I try "lspcmcia" the OS helpfully tells me that I can "apt-get" pcmciautils, but, without network access, that fails.I tried adding the install cdrom to apt using "apt-cdrom" and then tried to "apt-get" pcmciautils and it got further, installing some dependencies, but acted like it still was unable to locate the pcmciautils package.

I am ssh'ing into a remote server and then su'ing to root.The problem is that sometimes, I have not paid enough attention to the console message, and I have accidentally typed in the root password at the command prompt (when for example, I had failed to provide the root password correctly the first time - so su prompt went away).
I remember reading somewhere that a history of commands typed at the console is kept somewhere.I have 3 sub questions
Where (which folder) is the file stored?
Can I edit that file and remove the root password from it?
Being the paranoid person that I am, I wonder if there is a more secure way of logging into my server - other than ssh (or am I being TOO paranoid?)
My server is running a headless Ubuntu 10.0.4

Am carrying out installation of CentOS-5.5 on a Sun fire X2270 server using PXE. The installation starts well but on getting to the keyboard type the installation halts. I have plugged in a USB keyboard unfortunately, am unable to select the keyboard type even on reboot as the keyboard is non-responsive.

I cannot for the life of me get my HD working again. I tried following all the various remedies I could find but to no avail.
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda1
e2fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda1
Could this be a zero-length partition?
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dumpe2fs -f /dev/sda1 | grep -i superblock
dumpe2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
dumpe2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
It goes on and one like this. I'm stuck using the LiveCD for now (Jaunty) so I have some limitations.

Fresh install from the new CD (via BitTorrent). Installation seemed to go cleanly, with no errors or warnings, but a long delay while some files were downloading from the overloaded servers. However, after the reboot, the machine was unusable. Can't log in because it won't recognize any characters coming from the keyboard when I try to type my password. Hardware is a Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPad R52 with 1.5 GB RAM. Extremely vanilla machine. Possible wrinkle in that I'm trying another VM this time around, using VMware Player 3.0.1. Right now I'm assuming this installation is dead and non-recoverable.
