I want to install Ubuntu on several stand alone machines without repeating the several hundreds MBs updates on each machine using Synaptic. I understand the installations/updates files would reside in var/cache/apt/archives. So I can copy them to be used for the next machine. But specifically how? And can the non-OS files in a 64-bit machine be used in 32-bit machines' updates/program installations?

I'm trying to set up my router, with tomato firmware, to save the bandwidth usage information. One of the 'save history' choices is "CIFS" ... I'm lost as to how to create this save area..anyone able to give me a link to a 'how to' ...or if you've done it, perhaps a step by step?

Is 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.

I am trying to get the talked about Unity netbook shell through my Lucid installation. When i add the repository Code: ppa:canonical-dx-team/une i am offered a list of packages for upgrade which system says is also a partial upgrade. I know i should not be accepting a partial upgrade since it runs the risk of breaking my Lucid install itself - so i have not. How do i not reject these partial upgrades due to the repo addition & still install Unity?

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 some weeks ago and after some minor tweaking everything has been working fine. But all of a sudden, it seems after some package upgrades, I'm experiencing strange behavior: The first thing I noticed is that after reboot the default application that should be kept in the Unity Launcher have all disappeared. The unity launcher doesn't hide itself anymore. The unity launcher does not react to changes I make via the 'System Settings'->'compizConfig settings manager'->'Ubuntu unity plugin' menu (icon sizes in launcher, hiding method, etc.). Even after logout/login or reboot the changes aren't applied, although the corresponding settings in the configuration menus remain changed.
One application that used to work as a charm started giving the following error on startup: The program 'VESTA' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 489 error_code 3 request_code 138 minor_code 4) Since yesterday everything was still working properly and today I get this strange behavior, it seems that something must have changed in between. The only changes on the system in the last 24 hours are the upgrades of the following packages:

I'm looking for an effective way to manage use of internet bandwidth by users on a local area network. Currently there is a simple broadband router and unmanaged switch, and a standalone Ubuntu Server (8.04) that provides DHCP, DNS and mail for the LAN, and a web server. Ports are forwarded from a static external IP address to HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, SSH and IMAPS, and some security is provided by IP Tables (managed by using UFW).
There are 5 users on the network, and currently one or two of those 5 are using beyond our monthly download allowance of 30Gb. 1) To be aware of how many users are currently using the internet connection, and to divide the bandwidth between that number (so that if there are, say, 3 active connections, the total bandwidth available is divided 3 ways, rather than one of those users being able to hog all of it).
2) To allow each user to download up to 1/5 of 30Gb each month without any additional throttling (apart from the above), but once they go over that allowance to throttle them individually to, say, 10Kbps until the start of the new month.
I've heard other threads talking about both IP Tables and a proxy server such as Squid. I have no idea which of these would be most suited to the task. Currently, as I said, the Ubuntu server is standalone and only using 1 NIC, but it has 2 NICs and I could be configured to act as a gateway for the LAN, instead of the router, which is set to be the current default gateway.

I switched on bandwidth monitoring on my Ubuntu Server via Webmin on interface eth1. Unfortunately this has filled my disk by writing huge syslog, debug and kernel.log files. How do I switch it off? I can't see a way of doing it in Webmin.

I am running Ubuntu server 9.10 and I am trying to find a way to cumulate and visualized bandwidth for all the ips on my network.
I created a server connected to a mirror port of my router and I am running snort and nessus and ntop to monitor and scan my network for security. Everything is running fine and I can see all the traffic happening, ntop creates really nice report of what is going on in the network, snort with base alert me of probable security problem and nessus help me secure the network with weekly scans.
What else do I need ? I really simply need a software that will calculate the total bandwith usage per ip address. Ntop seems to gather all that information somewhere, but there is not simple way to get the information out of it. I was thinking maybe cacti would be the software to use but I am not too familiar with Cacti and it's interface seems a bit daunting still.
I don't need it to be web interface - but it would be nice. I could probably rig up something on a console base program. What I want the output to be should look like tcptrack but with the running totals for last day, last month, last year, and if there could be a graph for it- even better.

Is it possible to share bandwidth over Internet? A friend of me has made a little radio station with win-amp to screw around with. But as you can guess after 10 users the connection flips due to bandwidth limits. So we where wondering if we somehow can share both our bandwidth. I was thinking about perhaps linking some proxy's and combine that with load balancing... Something like that! But i'm not even sure if it's possible to do so.

I posted this in the Networking section, but should probably be over here. Couldn't move it. I have a transparent proxy in place. I have Webmin installed on the server. Is there an app that can monitor bandwidth in real time? Also run reports? I have SARG installed, but seems to only monitor HTTP traffic, I need to monitor all traffic. I have a bridged connection, but monitoring the outside interface is fine too.

I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.

I'm installing a server to act as a firewall between a local network and internet. I've installed Firestarter becaused it worked straitgh away (it seems that FS is configuring the routing as well). I've tried to remove it, and then I lost the access from LAN to Internet. (I don't know why -perhaps the routing is disabled then- , so I prefer to keep it).
The problem is that Webmin Bandwidth Monitor (bandwidthd) is not logging anything when FS is active. Does someone has an idea on how I could make it work? I've tried cacti and some other stuff, but it is far too complicated for me.

Recently our houses internet usage has skyrocketed and i'm trying to keep an eye on it using bandwidthd (installed on the server). It installed fine and counts traffic fine, the problem is we have a server that hosts our music/movies/etc and when people pull music off the server it skews their bandwidth usage. I'm looking for a way to exclude all traffic on the local network and only count internet traffic. This is the filtering part of the config file

I need to install the following dependencies for synspam on Ubuntu 9.10 karmic server:
Code:
sudo aptitude install nfqueue-bindings-perl libsys-syslog-perl libappconfig-perl libnetpacket-perl libnetaddr-ip-perl
dpkg -i synspam_version_all.deb
Of these, only libnetpacket-perl is not packaged for Ubuntu 9.10 karmic.
Is this functionality present in another 9.10 package with a different name? 10.04 Lucid does have the package: [URL]

I have a fedora 9 server. It is used purely as a dedicated server. Until recently I never came close to my allowed bandwidth of 1 TB but I expect that may change in the near future because I will be adding many files for downloading. I have Apache 2.2.9, PHP 5.2.6, mySQL 5.0.51 and Webmin 1.441.
The most critical thing is monitoring total bandwidth and then doing a job, probably using Cron to change a folder's name, to stop downloads before a critical point is reached and my sites shut down. I would also probably eventually like to limit member downloads so all members of the sites get a chance to download and one person doesn't use all the bandwidth. I expect that would be possible using php. to log the bandwidth used by members. I know php but I don't know how to get the bandwidth using php.

On other editions of ubuntu server I had no problem saving multiple users and passwords with htdigest but now it seems it is only possible to save one user and password.
Code:
sudo htdigest -c /etc/apache2/passwords directory user
When I add a second username and password for the same directory it overwrites the first.

We have a sipmle office network set up that we also use use to connect to the internet, however of late the number of users has increased thus slowing internet access. Bandwidth upgrade is not an option thus i have to do bandwidth shaping on our linux router. The question is how do set the squid configs to allow certain IP's range a certain percentage bandwidtheg 60% and furthe divide the rest. Alternatively how can allow certain IPs to have higher bandwidth access.

If I go to a virtual host it asks me if I want to save "index.php" (Typing in the host name followed by index.php also works). But if I go the main site it does not. This happened after an upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04
Here are some additional details - apachectl -M shows rewrite_module (shared) the host config file has AllowOverride All the dir and php5 modules are loading fine.

I can't seem to be able to save a file properly with java on the sheevaplug (ubuntu)
Here's my test-code:
Code:
try {
File f = new File("test.txt");
System.out.println(f.exists());
[Code]....
it seems to save the file, but nothing that is readable in ubuntu.
I'm using the openjdk-6-jre package by the way.
EDIT: NVM! Forgot to cd into the directory holding the jar before running, so it was working but it was saving to the $HOME dir...

Configure the HTTP server via system-config-httpd brings up some nice gui.I start a console, login to root and start it with: system-config-httpdGoto tab Virtual Hosts, then addI name my Virtual Hosts "sea", set its document root to: /home/sea/webs/sea.hs/www
where index.php is located for that 'local test server'.Host information is on Name based Virtual Host.But what do i have to enter for IP Adress and Host Name? Neither of these accept 127.0.0.1 nor localhost Further, when i try to exit, it wont let me close the app.Its not saved, hence i can even delete the default virtual hosts and its there again after restarting the app Even with adding sea /home/sea/webs/sea.hs/www or sea localhost.localdomain localhost to /etc/hosts doesnt change anything
