Ubuntu Servers :: Setting Up Own Webserver For Genealogy Using GRAMPS / PHPGedView
Jul 18, 2010Set up my own web server hosted at home that I can use a genealogy program such as GRAMPS or PHPGedView with so that family members and I can store, view and upload information online viewable only to other family members.I have a old Dell server from work to use as a server (I know specs are helpful but don't have them at the moment.)I know that there are web hosting sites that this can be accomplished with easier and cheap but I mostly want to use this as an opportunity to learn.I am extremely new to Linux but the love the power it offers as well as it's philosophy.So far I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server on the machine.
I installed Apache, MySql, PHP and various other things with it.I got all the way through but have some errors with ISPconfig set up and some when I reboot.My main question at this point is, is this the best approach for what I want to do? And then once it's set up where do I go to learn how to use my system.
Software :: Create A Genealogy Graph From A Excel Spreadsheet?
Nov 7, 2010in order to visualize the mentor-student relations inside my fraternity, I'd like to create a genealogy graph from a Excel spreadsheet. This works way better than expected, but there is one final issue. To demonstrate, this is a smaller version of the graph:
[URL]
It is ordered by year , while members are placed in the appropriate timeslot and are connected to show said relations. Unfortunately, as you can see, during a few years when the choosing of mentors was partly suspended due to historical reasons (WWII etc.), the members stack up to the right of the graph, widening it a lot. Is there a way to specify that they are supposed to be distributed among the members that are part of the structure in order to achieve minimum width?

Apr 26, 2010I'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".
Ubuntu :: Easy Way To Update Firefox?
Jun 25, 2010I've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?

I'm not a super genious with that low level stuff, so if it's too hard I'll probably be easier off just reinstalling 10.10.

I want to practice restoring the grub, before any emergency occurs
I plan to use the following thread: Grub/XP/Vista Bootloader - Ubuntu Forums
I would be grateful if someone could tell me an easy way to damage the grub. For example, re-installing XP always damages the grub, but I'm sure there are quicker ways to do the same thing

Ubuntu :: Easy Way To Dual-boot And Windows
Jan 13, 2010I am finally running Ubuntu and Windows (and also Puppy Linux).I just switch to Linux from windows by accident. I got a new computer with a wizard to install Vista -which I do not have, I tried to install XP and the computer would NOT budge. All the instructions I got from a friend who actually works with computers would not work.I installed Ubuntu 9.10 without any problem and the computer worked immediately. Needless to say, right away I discovered the simplicity versatility and comprehensiveness of Linux and Ubuntu is now my main OS.
However, I had so much invested in Windows that I wanted to explore the option of running a dual boot for the occasional trip to Windows. The forums provide a lot of help, unfortunately I am not familiar with commands and could not complete the instructions provided.I had installed Ubuntu in its own partition and Puppy Linux in a logical drive in an extended partition. Every time I installed Windows, Ubuntu would fail and vice-versa. Interestingly, Puppy Linux would work normally every time. Sorry about all this convoluted introduction, I'll get to the point.I figure that the installation of Windows disabled only one other OS. So I made two 5GB partitions and installed Ubuntu in each (Ubuntu2 and Ubuntu). Then I installed Windows and Hurra! I had Ubuntu, Windows and Puppy Linux working. Ubuntu2 would not appear, but I did not care. I deleted the partition and extended Ubuntu's partition to 10GB.
Ubuntu :: Cannot Install Wine - Easy Peasy 9.04?
Apr 13, 2010I am running Easy Peasy 9.04 on an EeePC 901. I am trying to run Wine in order to install a wireless client for my university- they blocked Linux from ALL wireless because they have no one to support Linux (I.E only a windows client, no iPod or iPhone support, as they used to have). I want Wine to get me on the network while being able to work using Easy Peasy.
1. Will Wine allow me to use the wireless network in this way? When I try to install Wine, using the WineHQ guide [URL]...I have tried to "trust the repository", install Wine with sudo apt-get update and all other instructions. I just keep getting:

Ubuntu :: Easy Way Of Using Controls In Iscan Or AcquireImages?
Sep 17, 2010I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?

Mar 22, 2011Firefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Easy Web Filtering - DNS Settings Don't Appear To 'stick' Once The Netbook
Jul 30, 2010I've been trying without success for the past couple of weeks to setup a filtering system for my little sister's netbook. The main problem I've been running into is inconsistency. First, I tried using dyndns per the instructions here: [URL] The problem with this is the DNS settings (and in turn the filtering settings) dont appear to 'stick' once the Netbook touches a different network. So if I sign onto a different wireless network than the one I used to set up the filtering, it stops working. The reason why is Ubuntu will overwrite the current DNS settings with those of the new network (I have no idea why, and am too frustrated to figure out).
Also, I noticed that even if the settings did stick, they're fairly easy to disable because all she has to do is stumble across the DNS settings, change them back and voila. I've had great success with OpenDNS on Windows boxes, but there doesn't seem a to be a feasible way to apply it to Ubuntu. Dansguardian looks like it may be worth a shot, but I've seen dozens of "simple" configuration guides, none of which that actually looked simple. So my question is this, what is the easiest, most bulletproof way to setup web filtering 10.4? Preferably something that a 12 year-old could easier find her way around.
Ubuntu Installation :: Any Easy Way To Do Offline Package Upgrades
Mar 13, 2011Is there any easy way to do offline package upgrades in Ubuntu? I was using debian's repository for the longest time to get individual packages, then found launchpad. Is there a script or something that will tell you what the dependencies are then let you copy them to a thumbdrive or something?
I know online upgrades are great but there are some cases where online isn't an option. Here's an example. Getting wine. There used to be this repository of .debs from the wine website, but now I can't find it. Launchpad has it, but it's all individual files.
