I downloaded Ubuntu, installed, setup ssh, setup user accounts. I cannot seem to get ftp to work
. I setup / installed vsftpd
How do I test if FTP is setup correctly on my machine? I setup a user (say abc). Then tried to ftp into the box using its IP number and I get "Connect call failed!"
I sometimes do heavy compile jobs, which may take a while. Now I don't like leaving my computer idle just because I'm compiling something. Folding@Home adjusts it's CPU usage if your using another application, so I can run firefox and do whatever I want while running F@H. How can I do this with compile jobs? Is it possible?

I want to share files and also be able to access files off my windows computers. I got onne windows 2000 that has a username needed to be typed in to access it. the rest is accessable. In the config file. I uncommented the security= user thing. I now tried to access the network but still fails.
Here is what I can see. when I go to places and click network I see windows network and click it it will say dhome and Workgroup. when I click on the dhome folder it takes a while and then gives me the error saying sorry didnt' get a list from the server. what do I need to do to access the network?
I've read some guides on how to setup ssh with dynamic DNS, but can't seem to get it to work. My Linksys router is currently set to forward port 22, so I don't know why SSH still gives:
ssh admin@xxx.hopto.org ssh: connect to host xxx.hopto.org port 22: Connection refused In particular, I also have openssh-server running on the target machine. Given that I have port forwarding enabled, why would this be happening? If I try to login directly to the IP, I get the same refusal.
I was trying to setup gogui to work on kubuntu, using instructions found on an ubuntu forum: [URL]. I did not even have Java installed yet, so I first tried installing some of the sun-java6 packages. Usually kpackage is good at picking dependent packages and installing them also, but apparently not this time. Next time I tried using kpackage, I was not able to do anything. It gave me a message saying I had broken dependencies, and should use synaptic or aptitude. I do not even have these installed! I think that un-installing the Java software and starting over should do the trick, but I'm not sure how to do this from the command line. Also the instructions in the link above never worked for me.

Both v-cards are ATI, supposedly working from the same drivers. I don't mind using a different linux distribution, if it makes matters any easier.
my headset has a headphone jack and microphone jack.
if i go to sound preferences > Hardware (Tab) and select Profile: Analog Stereo Input, then I can record sound with Sound Recorder. but in order to be able to hear what I recorded, I then have to go back to sound preferences > Hardware (Tab) and select Profile: Analog Stereo Output.
i see there is a profile option "Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output + Analog Stereo input", but when that one is selected, i can't hear anything through the speakers..., so, still having to switch back and forth as described above. perhaps a profile option with "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Stereo Input" would work, but it is not there...
why do i have to switch back and forth? (actually, it seems this setting-switching-requirement is true of the laptop's built-in speakers and mic as well, not just the headset...)

I've been trying to get rcp command to work for my development environment but to no avail. I'm working on a Red Hat Linux server, and the rcp is meant to be used between Linux-Linux and Linux-Windows system. I've done some reading up and this is what I found:-
Quote:
Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host
Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd:
1. Log on as root.
2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf.
3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec.
4. Save the file.
5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service pid. Send the Host User Profile (HUP) signal to inetd by using kill or by using pkill.
6. Run inetd again.
To turn on the RCP service by using xinetd:
1. Log on as root.
2. Edit the file /etc/Xinetd.d/rsh. You may get another file based on your linux distrinution.
3. Change the line disable to no.
4. Save the file.
5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service pid. Send the HUP signal to xinetd by using kill or by using pkill.
6. Run xinetd again.
Step 02: Set the security permissions
After turning on RCP services you must set the security permissions to allow the Windows host to connect to your computer.
1. Edit the file /etc/hosts.equiv. Based on your linux distribution this file may vary. You can get like /etc/hosts.allow.
2. In the file add a line that contains the name of your Windows host.
3. Add a second line that contains the name of your Windows host and the name of a user who can access the directory that you want to transfer. Separate the two elements with a tab character.
4. Save the file.
I noted that my Red Hat have xinetd BUT I don't have the rsh file in step (2). It says I may get another file but which file should I be looking for? As for Step 02, I did find hosts.allow and updated that and the hosts file itself. Besides that, I also use useradd to add a user to match up with the one in the other system since I've read that the rcp required both end to use the same user name.
I'm following this guide [URL]. I am trying to use a bridge to vpn from work to home.

up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
up ip link set $IFACE promisc on
down ip link set $IFACE promisc off
down ifconfig $IFACE down
I am forced to use dhcp because of my router. (although it is a static lease) I think this is where I am hung up. Everything else seems to be working properly though. I have a windows client connecting but is limited to the server serving out openvpn. (192.168.1.21) In other words it is not functioning as a bridged vpn service.

When ever I install the (recommended) drivers through the "Additional Drivers" interface to run Unity my dual monitor setup does not work. The monitors won't even detect correctly what so ever. Then, when ever I install (more basic?) nVidia drivers through the packet manager, my dual monitors work as planned, but now Unity won't work. What's the deal? Are there any work arounds for this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am once again trying to get a fully functional desktop at work without a dual boot setup. One issue is file searching. I have looked at beagle, tracker and Google Desktop. I am currently testing Google Desktop and it appears to work well, but it is not integrated into nautilus and it appears to not index my email in evolution that is accessed via an exchange server.
Beagle appears dead. Tracker looks promising, but I can't tell if it integrates into Nautilus currently without rebuilding Nautilus. If you use Tracker, can you tell me how it works with Nautilus, mapped cifs drives on windows servers and evolution in exchange mode. Also, the current version of tracker is 0.10.6, but on 10.04 only 0.6.X is available and Natty looks poised to ship with 0.8.X. Is there any advantage to compiling it? Are there Ubuntu specific tweaks that are lost if you go with source?
I've a desktop running Fedora 10 connected to the Internet via LAN. There's 3 network controllers in the desktop. One integrated to the motherboard and two additional. I would like to connect other computers (two laptops, one running fc9 and the other Window$ XP) to the Internet via the desktop. I googled the question and found out that I need to adjust thing called 'NAT'.
For that purpose I did the following:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.*.*
where 192.168.*.* - is desktop' IP address. I want to use 192.168.2.0/24 as a network for laptops. I activated one of devices (eth1), gave it IP address:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.0/24
and connected f9 laptop to it.
On the laptop I activated eth0 with the same IP. The problem is: it doesn't work. I can't ping anything from the laptop except its own address (192.168.2.0).
Is it possible to setup samba to work over IPv6?

I booted ubuntu and the included drivers worked beautifully for my Atheros AR8131 PCI Ethernet card on my laptop. I have an OSX Snow Leopard dual boot setup and my Ethernet card does not work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).
I ended up setting up a basic linux file server as a pdc for that office. Our main office is a windows 2000 ads domain. The two offices are connected with a vpn. I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually. I would like to know if it is possible to setup a domain trust between the two sites so I don't have to create a username/password in the remote site for every user at the main office to access. I did some searching but came up empty.
