I have installed ntp using Code: apt-get -y install ntp.Logging to /var/log/ntpstats has been enabled in /etc/ntp.conf however this directory is not getting populated with anything. I have also tried removing it with apt-get --purge remove ntp and reinstalling but to no avail.
View 9 RepliesI've been running my little server at home for a few months now, and I've noticed that Webmin has detected that I'm in need of over 100 updates. I'm a bit scared to run the updates because everything is working just fine right now, but a part of me still wants to run some of the updates.Now I know backing up the server would be a good idea to do before this happens. This server is a media server with videos, music and pictures taking up the majority of the hard drive space on the server. I just have one partition on the server, outside of the swap partition. I would like to back up everything on the server except the videos, music, and pictures, because if even an update messes with the server, I could always retrieve those, and the external hard drive I'm going to back up to wont be big enough to hold everything anyways.
if I were to backup up everything except for those directories that hold my videos, music, and pictures, and something were to go wrong, if I were to restore all of those, would I then be back to the state my system was at when I backed up? I've never done a back up and restore in a linux environment before. I just want to make sure that just doing that will be enough, because the last thing I want to do is hose my server after taking several weeks to get it to the working state that its at.
I'm running a virtualised backupserver. This makes backups to an LVM volume on the host. /dev/mapper/system-backupserver is put through as a block device to the KVM-based, libvirt-managed backupserver and there it's mounted (obviously) rw.
I've also mounted the same volume, as ro, on the host, so as to get at my backups more easily. So now the same partition is mounted on two different machines, both thinking they've got sole access.
Now when the backupserver VM alters the contents of this partition, it sees this happening normally on its df report, but on the host machine, this remains mostly unseen. I tried doing a mount -o remount, but that doesn't help, although umount/mount will do it.
Meanwhile I seem to be able to get at all the data just fine, and it's just the total used/free that gets out of whack. Is there any way to regenerate/reread those totals without doing a full umount/mount cycle?

I've installed Ubuntu server and got everything setup pretty well.My problem is apache.I put my website in /var/www and changed the security on the files to allow them to be executed by other, which is what I finally discovered was my first problem (access denied). But now whenever.I go in and edit my page, the changes aren't reflected on the site unless I completely restart apache.I know I'm doing something wrong because I used to pay for a host and every time I edited a page, it was instantly updated on the site. Could one of you gurus tell me where I screwed up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedDue to networking issues within 10.04, I can't connect to the internet to update to 10.10.
I've created an install CD, but want to confirm if I'm doing it right, or how to fix some issues I'm seeing.
First, I get the option to create besides my other OS (Vista and currently 10.04). I've tried to select this option, and it gives 3 options to install:
An SD card I've left in my computer
Sharing my Vista HD
Sharing with 10.04.
The issue is that when I got the computer, I partitioned my second HD (320GB) in half, one that is shared with Vista as a storage dump, the second half Ubuntu (160GB partition).
Currently, using this option forces me to split this half partition between Lucid and Maverick. For some reason, if I try and "use entire partition" the bar shows 2GB as the size of the partition. If I choose use entire HD, it shows the full 320GB. Using the slider can reduce the footprint of Lucid, but can't wipe it out.
Since I haven't screwed around with partitions too much in the last 3 years, I am not too comfortable with using the advanced option, but it seems like the only chance I have to erase 10.04 completely. This is reinforced by it asking about "device for boot loader"
Just wondering if there is a way to update all of my packets on Ubuntu server 10.10 all at once.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have given up on running slackware on my labtop, beacuse I lack the knowledge on many of the settings and configs in linux. So I have decided to install Ubuntu on my labtop. But I know that I have to install 7.10 beacuse of mye graphic card, ATI Radeon Xpress 1100. I have allready downloaded the driver install file for my graphic card.
The thing I am wondering on is this : I am thinking on installing the drivers right after I install 7.10 and after that I am thinking of uppgrading to 9.10 if its possible. And the thing is, will I keep my ATI drivers installed if i update?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently re-installed Ubuntu Karmic on a new PC (about a month or so ago), and I just noticed that my PPAs are not updating when I run the update manager. I'm not a complete noob but I'm not all that hardcore or experienced. Is there something I am doing wrong?
When adding a PPA I open System>Administration> Software Sources and click on the "other software" tab. After clicking "add" I enter the APT line (*eg. ppa:banshee-team/paa)
and hit "add source". I hit close and let it reload and that's it.
This method worked fine for me before but now when I run Update Manager it never shows any updates for the PPAs I have added even though I know there is a newer version of the application available.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I get into safe mode of something of the sort? I thought all I had to do was tap F6 as the computer boots up, it was running perfectly untill I updated it, when I pressed restart it started to shut down and then it just got stuck in a black screen with a small white cursor flashing, and there it stayed I've restarted it a load of times and no luck, I was getting ready to reinstall it when I remembered that I have no other cd burner in the house other than the one on the machine that's just packed up and though I could use a flash drive neither of the 2 I have with me are big enough, the bigger ones are both at work along with my ubuntu instalation CD.
On a second probably unhelpful note I'm getting really fed up with ubuntu it's proving to be about as unreliable as windows, every other week for whatever reason it fancies it just packs up and more frustrating for me is that while I know my way around windows and can usually sort it out I haven't got a clue about how to sort Linux problems out and before anyone mentions it yes it was a relatively new instalation, all I had installed on it other than the OS was the updates up unlit now and XBMC and it all had been working flawlessly for 2 weeks or so!
I have just created a back up script that would backup my system into two (root and home) tar.bz2 file. that was good and well. The thing is though I also created one that I thought would update the tar.bz2 files using the "u" (update switch). it seems that it won't work though. I did a search on the matter and found a thread in the Linux Forums that was saying that "gzip" couldn't be updated.
Is this the same with bz2? Is there a way to get it working? it would be handier than creating new bz2 file every time as it takes so friggen long to run the full backup (and thats even after excluding what I don't need).

A couple of days ago my girlfriend and I were using my laptop to watch Hulu on my tv. I've been able to do this in the past with some frustration because it is not exactly clear what settings to use so that the tv works and doesn't distort the picture. While we were using it, the update manager came up and I let the computer update while we were watching Hulu. It came time for the computer to request that I restart and I selected "Restart Later," which I didn't exactly do after we were done watching. I shut the computer down and the next day when we were about to turn the computer on to watch again, it turned itself off after selecting Ubuntu. I tried again and caught a message that it couldn't find the drive that Ubuntu was on. I haven't done anything else to the computer aside from updating it. I am running Vista 32 (shudders) as well as Ubuntu 10.04. I am currently on the Vista part of the computer and can see the folder for Ubuntu on the computer.
My question is: Is there any way that I can go into that folder and change something through Windows so that I can get Ubuntu back? Or do I have to reinstall Ubuntu, and how would I go about doing that?
Edit: I should clarify that I use the S-video out for watching tv - not sure that it matters.
My previous installation was old and cranky, so I reformatted and updated Ubuntu 10.10 last night. While installing RSSowl, I double checked the distribution name (by going to System > About Ubuntu) and it says 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I have no idea how that happened since all I did was do the suggested software and security updates.
Just an hour ago I did another reformat and reinstall. After everything was done, I double checked the version number upon my first login and it said 10.10. Then I go and click okay on the suggested updates and after it was maybe 75% complete, I checked the version # and it now says 11.04 again!
I just recently updated my Ubuntu's software on 10.04. I restarted my computer and everything was fine. The next day I tried to get into Ubuntu it just goes to a black screen and restarts.
I am currently dual booting with windowsXP/Ubuntu. Everything was working fine until just a few days ago. Now I am unsure what to do. When given the choice to boot between WindowsXP and Ubuntu only windows works. When I click on windows it loads up windows. When I click Ubuntu it just goes to a black screen and then restarts and prompts me again to select between them.
Please help. I am unsure what is wrong as I am still very new to Linux and using this type of OS. I am not sure if I need to re-install, but this would obvious be the last option.
