Debian :: Setup A Squeeze Server For A Friend Of Mine Using Exact Apache2 Settings?
May 31, 2010I just set up a Squeeze server for a friend of mine using my exact apache2 settings. He has been playing around, having a bit of fun learning HTML, but he ran into a problem where one of his images would not display. I at first figured his HTML was incorrect, but after a very long time of trying to figure out the problem, I still do not know what is going on, so I think it must be an apache2 problem?[URL]..

Software :: Best Free Software To Securely Send Large File To Friend Over The Net
Mar 10, 2010I am looking for good free software to send large files to a friend. I have tried Skype, but it was too slow, so I am looking for something that basically only uses the two PCs, some software, and no third party or server. We can figure out our IPs, if that would be a step to eliminating a 3rd party or service.
I have searched the internet for terms like P2P, private P2P, F2F, SFTP, etc., and I'm just more confused! What's free and rocks? It's not for music or multiple users, just for 2 users and big documents.
Software Requirements:
* Secure
* Free or open source
* Both Linux (for me) and Windows versions (for my friend)
* Good GUI, easy to use (no command line)

Ubuntu Installation :: Sees One HDD Instead Of Two Partitions
Oct 19, 2010I decided to go and install ubuntu 10.10 today. I have two partitions on my HDD. Ubuntu only sees one HDD, and not the two partitions. I get no option to dual boot vista and ubuntu at all. It is only format and use the entire disk, or install manually. I go into gparted and all ubuntu sees is one unformatted HDD. But vista sees two partitions. I have all of my media on one partition. I REALLY don't want to go and format the entire drive to lose my things. Is there a work around for this? I have no access to any other PC.

Mar 16, 2011I have three computers; Ubuntu desktop, Windows 7 laptop, and OSX laptop 10.5.8. I have a shared usb hard drive on my Ubuntu desktop. My Windows 7 machine sees and accesses it just fine. My OSX computer sees it in the finder window, but says it can't access it because it can't find the original file. I have tried to "repair the alias" but it doesn't work. I have shared another folder on the Ubuntu desktop, but the new share is on the desktop internal hard drive. OSX can access that share with no problems. What in the world is going on? If Windows 7 can see and access, is this an OSX problem or is there a terminal command that I am missing? I am networking using Samba on the Ubuntu computer and the explorer/finder windows on the Windows7/OSX computers.

Ubuntu :: GRUB Sees Two OS's On External Drive - Should Only Be One
Sep 1, 2011i recently started dual booting with Kubuntu using an external HDD. GRUB works fine, but it sees two Kubuntu's on the drive. In GRUB, i see "Ubuntu-Linux Kernel (for some reson its not identified as Kubuntu) on /dev/sdb1 (external drive)", then i see recovery mode beneath it, and the exact same line right below recovery mode, followed by another recovery mode. strangely, selecting either one boots into kubuntu no problem at all. is this a problem and is there anyway i can delete the duplicate entries?

Jan 17, 2010I'm getting rather bewildered.
I followed these instructions to setup my wusb11 driver using ndiswrapper:
[URL]
But when I try to ifup the interface, I get:
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10

DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
No DHCPOFFERS received.
iwconfig shows that no essid is assigned, even though I have specified one in /etc/interfaces.
Then if I go through the desktop gui Preferences -> Network to setup my wireless connection, /etc/interfaces does not seem to change but iwconfig then reports the essid is assigned.
Anyway, on my default taskbar there is a wireless icon. Clicking on that shows the wireless access points in the area. I see my own. When I try to connect to it, it prompts for my wep key. I enter the key, it thinks, and then acts as if I'd entered the wrong key.
Specifically of course, I'd like this to get fixed so that I can happily surf the net again, etc.
But I also I'm wondering why it seems that there is a disconnect between /etc/interfaces and Preferences->Network. If I type in a WEP key in the gui, I would think that it should appear in /etc/interfaces.
I'm definitely a Ubuntu wireless newbie, and not very experienced at Ubuntu anyway.
Ubuntu :: Samba Sees But Does Not Conect To Windows Shares

There are at least 8 publicly shared folders on that PC that other Windows pc's can connect to without problem.

May 20, 2011I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a new computer which also has Windows XP installed. This computer is connected to the internet via a USB Zonet ZEW2590 802.11N wireless card with the Ralink RT3070 chipset. Ubuntu sees the wireless card and it connected to my wireless router without any problems. When I look at the connection information it says the wireless card is connected at 24mb/s and one time it said it was connected at 54mb/s. The problem is that when I go into Firefox and type in a url (such as www.yahoo.com) I see a message at the bottom of the screen saying "Looking Up Yahoo and then it does nothing for several minutes. Then I get a pop-up box that says "Server Not Found".
View 14 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Grub Only Sees Windows 7?
Mar 13, 2011I've tried so many things to get it to see Debian. I tried the super grub 2 disc on a CD and on a flash drive via unetbootin. Neither worked successfully like the site showed. I tried chrooting from a Ubuntu Live CD, I did update-grub grub-mkconfig, grub-install to each of my hard drives and even tried upgrade-from-grub-legacy (even though it's already upgraded from grub legacy)!
If I recall correctly, the super grub 2 disc says something about an error with the filesystem so I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that I'm using ext4 on my Debian Squeeze installation?
General :: Knoppix Sees Hda Instead Of Sda- Can't Recover?
May 23, 2011I thought I knew my way around a little, but apparently mounting is still a complete mystery to me. I'm trying to back up my data with Knoppix since Ubuntu won't start up. something weird is happening with the keyboard and it starts spamming ^[[26~ across the splash screen. When I try to read my hard drive, Knoppix tells me "mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock." It seems like it should be a pretty common error, but I haven't found any anything helpful and understandable that doesn't involve rebooting (won't get me anywhere with Knoppix). I think it has something to do with Knoppix insisting my drive is hda instead of sda, though I have read that Ubuntu likes to tell you hda is sda anyway. Knoppix is the only distro that has worked on a live boot so far.I've thought of trying dd, dd rescue, or just cp onto my external, but I don't know if Knoppix's hda business will make a working backup. The other computers around are all Windows with no extra space, so I don't know what the easiest and safest way is to test wether the back up worked.

Jan 11, 2010I have 2 Hard drives, the original 30GBs with Windows XP on it, My son put 2nd hard drive into pc as slave (400GB), no problems, WinXP recognised 2nd drive. This was all a way to give 'good ole Mum' a chance to muck about with Linux.Got a Linux Format Mag with Ubuntu 9.10 on it, amongst others, but this one I knew from previous use. I have installed it on the 2nd hard drive, not sure if I correctly (manually) partitioned but I put ( I believe) a home partition, a swap partition, left ( so I thought) a 3rd partition space, and said install. Ubuntu runs fine and see the small HD with WinXP but WinXP doesnt see the HD with Ubuntu, and I wanted to use the 3rd partition for the WinXp as I need to use that for Grant writting I do for not for profit organisations govt depts that I apply for grants from are MS freaks, that said, all runs ok but what have I done that wont let WinXP see to utilise the 3rd partition.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Banshee No Longer Sees My Sansa Clip Plus?
Oct 19, 2010Last week when I was still running Lucid I could get Banshee to read and write to my Sansa Clip Plus fine, but now that I have upgraded to Maverick Banshee can no longer see it.
I have it set in MSC mode with an .is_audio_player file (that worked back in Lucid) and Rhythmbox can see it and read and write to it fine.

OpenSUSE :: 11.1 - VirtualBox Sees All USB Ports As Unavailable?
Apr 16, 2010I just set up Suse 11.1 64bit and installed Virtual Box 3.1.6. I had it running previously with no problems, however, this time I can't get it to recognize any USB ports. In fstab I entered the line
None /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0
and ran mount -a (no go)
I loaded Vmware Player and it uses the USB ports perfectly fine (go figure) I added to the "none" line auto,
busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid= etc.
Still a no go - vmware uses them no matter what I have in "fstab" what am I missing with Vbox?
Hardware :: Replaced 2 IDE Drives: CentOS Only Sees 1
Jan 6, 2010I recently had to reload CentOS (5.3) on a box because of an unrelated problem (one of its SATA drives went belly up). I decided to update the old (reliability questionable) 80 GB IDE HDs that had been in it with some new 160's while I was changing stuff around.
the BIOS sees both IDE drives, and so does a bootable Acronis CD I have (boots some Windows version). But CentOS refuses to see both the IDE drives (the new SATA drive dropped in w/o difficulty). I spent some time messing with Master/Slave settings and switching disks around--CentOS only sees the Master disk (whichever physical drive that happened to be at the time--clearly was not a bad drive). Here's what dmesg has to say for itself in the relevant section:
Code:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
NFORCE-MCP55: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:04.0
NFORCE-MCP55: chipset revision 161
NFORCE-MCP55: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
NFORCE-MCP55: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
NFORCE-MCP55: 0000:00:04.0 (rev a1) UDMA133 controller
[Code]....
The MB is a Tyan S2912 w/ 2 Dual-core Opterons (with an admittedly older BIOS, but the BIOS sees the drives; and so does the different OS so it seems like it's gotta be something w/ CentOS). The extra space of the 2nd IDE drive was not critical, so I just took it out for the time being (may try a BIOS update later).
