I have 3 Dell r610 servers all running 10.04 and 1/3 can't connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com the other two are fine. I've tried swapping the cable from one of the other servers to the one with the issue, switching the IP address, restarting the networking module and nothing resolves the problem.

I currently have Ubuntu installed onto my laptop, on a single drive partitioned into /root /home /swap. I now have an additional spare HD that I was thinking of installing Win XP onto. So If I needed to use XP for a specific program then I could just swap out the HDs instead of having a Dual Boot system on one drive. confirm that by swapping out the HDs this will not affect the Grub Boot Loader and I will be safe to do this without screwing up my Ubuntu, as if it will screw it up I will just stick with Ubuntu on my Laptop and forget about XP.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed xubuntu. I have a total of 12034MB of main Memory of which ~1000MB are normally used.When I leave the computer and come back, it is swapping a lot. Whenver I display a window (firefox i.E.) that I have not displayed yet since I left the computer alone, I can here the HD working, and the system monitor shows me how more memory is used and less swap space.
But there is absolutely no need for it. I have at least 10000MB of free Memory at all the time!Can I somehow tell my xubuntu installation to stop swapping unless there is really little main memory left (lets say less than 2000MB)?My kernel version is 2.6.35-29-generic because I have trouble with the raw1394 module in the newest version.
So first off, it probably seems this question has been asked thousands of times before. but I did do a search, mostly archived posts that ended up being something other than a true ip blocking of the port. [URL]..
So my port 80 is truly blocked. Ive tried setting up the port forwarding on my router, Ive tried manually allowing all traffic on port 80 through ip tables. Ive even dabbled with setting up something like openDNS to see So far nothing, Im only available on my local network.
There has to be some way to do a redirect though. even something as simple as an htaccess file redirecting [URL].. xxxx (the space is there to avoid my url being interrupted by a smiley
how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:
Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.
I have a home server that I have been running for some years and am constantly tweaking / playing with it resulting in numerous reinstalls (and upsetting the wife!). It does nothing critical but I use it mainly for:
backing up my laptop files
XBMC
ZoneMinder
Due to the number of times that I manage to break it, I have now thought about setting it up as a base system but with virtual machines looking after the seperate 'components'. The machine is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 2Gb RAM. First of all do you think it is powerful enough to run XBMC and ZM in seperate virtual machines? - I appreciate the more RAM the better but at the moment I am sticking to 2Gb.
I was also wondering what sort of issues may arise for the audio and video areas I will be using. XBMC currently outputs through an HDMI cable to the TV and ZM recieves video signals through a seperate video card. ( I have had my concerns in the past that there have been conflicts in the way I have set things up!). I have read a number of guides about setting a system up with virtual machines but not really found any articles about the practicalities of using such a set up at home. before I commit and spend a week pulling my hair out trying to get it all to work!
Alright guys, I'm out of ideas...
I have a system here with three harddiscs, the first is a 500GB disc which is supposed to contain Windows 7, the second is a 250GB disc for Ubuntu 10.04 and the third is a 1TB drive which contains all my music, movies and stuff like that.
Now I installed Windows 7 first, then Ubuntu 10.04 onto the other disc.The thing is that the Ubuntu-Installer gave me the option of installing them side by side by shrinking the Windows Disc, which I don't want it to because I hate to clutter up ONE drive with more than one OS, So,after installing and rebooting into Ubuntu, I went to see if I could still start Windows 7, which I now can't.
Is there a way to have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 playing nicely together WITHOUT swapping the SATA ports or something like that?don't ask why i'm giving Ubuntu the smaller drive... I'm still a gamer, and my games need a lot of space.I just want to make a switch to Ubuntu for the times where I'm not playing any kind of Games.
By the way: Both Operating Systems where installed in 64-bit flavour.

I interpret this to mean that the printer is seen from this command. Yet when I do the "lsusb" command, I get this output:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
This to me indicates that the printer is not seen by the "lsusb" command.
I would like to get my printer printing. I am trying to get hold of an older parallel Centronics printer cable with a DB25 at the other end to see if I can get the printer working with it. Have others done this with success?

With this I had gotten unity to work. However when I pull the power cable from the laptop my screen freezes. Also if press "FN"+ Home or END to change the brightness of the screen my screen freezes and no longer able to move the mouse or press anything on keyboard.

The hdd that my system boots from is named "sdb". But sometimes it's named "sdc". It changes from boot to boot. There are four hdds in this desktop and my boot disk keeps swapping names with a data disk (sdb and sdc). No raid. Never affects the other two disks. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, but this problem began when I was a running 10.04.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using an Apple Keyboard (DK-layout) on my PC running Ubuntu 10.4. The problem: My key used to type <, > and is swapped with the key used to type and If I connect a standard PC-keyboard with DK-layout using USB, it works just fine. The problem exists both in the console and X. I solved the problem in the console by installing the console-keymaps package, made a copy of dk-latin1.kmap.gz and swapping keycode 86 with keycode 41 and loading the new keymap with the loadkeys command. I only need to figure out how to load the new keymap at boot time.
However, in X, I want to do exactly the same. I suppose I have to use Xmodmap. I simply can't figure out how to do it.
I have two HDs, one is a 80gb OS drive(Parallel ATA) and the other is a 1T storage drive (SATA). Well after each reboot they swap between /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, over and over again. One boot the OS is /dev/sda and the next its /dev/sdb, same goes for the second drive. This makes it difficult to setup fstab so it will mount the large storage drive on boot.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10. My work requires me to frequently swap video cards between an ATI Radeon 5870 card and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX card. My question is: can the ATI driver (fglrx - catalyst 10.2) and the NVIDIA driver (nvidia 190.29) co-exist? Or do I need to reinstall the driver every time I change the card? I would like for the drivers to be able to co-exist so it would only be a matter of restarting my machine with the new card and choose the right xorg.conf file (perhaps from the GRUB menu).

View 8 Replies View RelatedActually I'm not sure that it's swapping like mad: I've done more testing and it looks like there may some interference causing the noise that may be correlating with network usage. I'm accessing a MacMini (with MacOS X 10.4) from my Linux machine using VNC. My Linux machine has 4 GB of ram and I run a lot of various apps on it and I've got no issue at all. It's all snappy and don't hear the hard disk swapping/read/writing too often. Now with VNC, the hard disk is swapping like mad. When I'm moving things on the OS X desktop. So I was thinking of creating a ramdisk and forcing the temp VNC files to go into that ramdisk but the problem is I can't find any temp files.
I've attempted to do that:
#!/bin/bash
while [ true ]
do
lsof | grep vnc
done
