I use Pidgin for Gadu-Gadu protocol. I use it almost entirely to communicate with polish people. Each time I open new tab i need to manually change to "polish" from the context menu.
Is there a way to change the default spell check language without changing the environment language? I don't mind if it is some dirty hack or requires recompiling but since I'm not the only one trying to do that some simple tweak solution would be nice.
i like to have fedora in english language, without any translation. I have a problem: i'ld like to set the check spelling in gnome to italian by default, but i don't know how to do. When i use pidgin or pan (newsreader) the check spelling is always set to english and i need to switch to italian all the time. Is there a way to set italian check spelling by default?

I'm doing thesis about Open source CMS -programs and I'm using Ubuntu server 10.04.1 for that.
I have used same server edition at school but I have now big problem with changing the keyboard language. Because VMware used the easy install I couldn't change the language during the installation. I have used command sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but I can't select the right language there.
So is there any other way to change the keyboard language to Finnish?
I have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?

For example:
Shift+Alt+1 - English
Shift+Alt+2 - Russian
Shift+Alt+3 - Ukrainian
While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.

I'm having some difficulty with a internet/vpn setup. I have 3 network adapters on the server. 1x is used to connect it to the rest of the network 1x is used to provide internet (squid,dansguardian) 1x is used to connect to the vpn router
My interfaces file looks like this:

The problem that I have is this: When the gateway on eth2 is set to 10.0.2.2 the VPN works 100% but there is no internet. When the gateway on eth2 is set to 192.168.0.6 there is internet but no VPN.
So what I want to do is, route all traffic that is supposed to go to 10.0.2.0/24 and 10.0.3.0/24 to eth2 and all internet traffic to eth0.
Ubuntu 10.04 server 64-bit I was following; The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server) - Page 4 [URL] to set up the server on Ubuntu 10.04 and encountered problem on editing /etc/default/syslogd

"Ubuntu Server has no open ports by default" - [URL]. Does this mean right after a 10.04 Server Edition installation, if a user wants to start a web service e.g. a Java process to listen on say port 8080, he would have to configure the firewall first?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just finished setting up a Natty box to act as my home router / home web server. I installed beta2 a few days before the final was out and updated all of the packages (also tried a dist-upgrade just in case ).
I performed the following setup:
- set up the webserver and sshd
- set up dhcp server and adressing
- set up rc.local to run rc.firewall with my filtering rules
- set the router live (rebooting it)
And that was basically it. Everything worked fine, except when I tried to open any of the sites that are hosted on the webserver from the outside world. It turned out that all of the ports on the external interface were blocked.
I decided to stop my firewall rules (flushing all rules) and then scan my box from the outside - still, all ports seemed to be filtered. I then decided to reboot the machine, disabling all mention of the rc.firewall script, but the ports were still filtered!
I then disabled apparmor and made sure ufw is disabled, but the ports are still filtered for the outside world. For the internal network they are not filtered.
Is there some other mechanism besides iptables rules that filteres packets?

This is probably a pretty basic question seeing as I'm pretty new to Ubuntu Server. I'm running a simple website from my Ubuntu Server machine with The files are all stored in /var/www/ and then subdirectories. The problem is that when I add files through FTP I need to go and change all of the file permissions since by default they do not have read access so can't be accessed through a web browser on another machine.How can I make the default permissions readable for the directory and all new files that will be moved in it

So I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 64-bit for testing purposes. But when I went to connect it to my wireless network at home, it showed that iwconfig wasn't installed by default like it did in 10.04. Does anyone know how I can either connect my system to the network without using iwconfig, or how I can get iwconfig and install it from a flash drive or some other form of digital media? And I can't do apt-get since I can't get on my network. And I also can't plug in a ethernet cable because my network port is broken.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried to set up a Hadoop cluster on a few freshly-installed 10.04 Server Edition machines and hit a problem. (I was able to set up the cluster using Desktop edition previously). The issue is that I can't connect to the service even though the Java process is running and listening on the port and there is no error in the logs. Anyway, I started to wonder if it was firewall issue so I googled it and found conflicting information.
1. "Ubuntu Server has no open ports by default" - [URL]
2. iptables shows different info. ufw is also disabled.
hadoopadmin@machine-1:~$ sudo iptables -L
[sudo] password for hadoopadmin:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
hadoopadmin@machine-1:~$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: inactive
I even tried to enable ufw and did "sudo ufw default allow incoming" but still no help. The only package I manually selected during installation is OpenSSH server.
I finally got the server running. All seems OKAY, however I want to change the default player on my server. As of now, when I upload a file, it plays but has no "play/pause/stop/mute/fullscreen" buttons. How do I get those? I've tried installing FFMPEG, MPlayer and a few others to no avail. Please suggest a tried&true method of allowing for this. I need it to be able to at least play audio(mp3) and video(mp4,wmv,avi,flv)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been searching the web and Ubuntu forums all day looking for an answer to what I initially thought would be a simple thing to do. I have set up a lamp server and started creating my network site, however was not long before I ran into an issue with fire fox not allowing me to access locally linked files that are shared on the network which works fine in IE. after several hours of trying to find a work around, I have been unsuccessful in creating a link that would work in both IE and FF.
so I got this bright idea see, to just make the website include the network shared content, unsharing them of course and simply adding them to my Apache server, well the more I read the more confusing it all became. do I use simlinks or do I create a server for each location/hard drive?
I really need a how to for big dummies on adding additional directories to Apache similar to adding virtual directors to IIS for windows.
Due to a motherboard issue, I need to edit a parameter in the "etc/default/grub" file.
However, the problem is, that file doesn't exist.
Grub does seem to be installed, I can get into grub from the command line etc.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server - 10.04.2 LTS
Brand new box, no previous installs of anything, no other operating systems etc.
Is there somewhere else that file could reside ? I tried find -name '*grub*' and got plenty of files, but none are the one that I need.
Is there someway to generate this file ?
I remember when installing from the CD it asking about grub, but I don't recall which option I chose, it was whichever one was the default.
This thing won't reboot right after power loss etc until I can edit that value... which at the moment seems to not exist....
Btw, I'm not a total linux noob but far from an expert, so I may need any answers "dumbed down" a bit.
EDIT (more info):
It seems that I have regular "grub" and not "grub2" installed... I'm assuming that is part of the problem ?
My version: grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
Does this version of grub allow you to edit options etc ?
Specifically, what I need to do, is edit this value: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
I need to add "reboot=a" to this line.
Using the 'limit' comand in tcsh, I can adjust stacksize etc. I can put this in my .login file, but what I actually want is to set this system-wide as a (larger) default then it is now (including for bash if possible).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a home server running Lucid which basically runs our home lan, but I also wanted to be able to run transmission-daemon over an ipredator VPN connection completely independently of the ethernet port (as far as the application layer is concerned anyway). Most of the howtos for setting up VPN use the VPN as the default route, however I still wanted to run a webserver, dnsmasq etc, not to mention free bandwidth access to my ISP etc.
Thus, this howto. The ppp connection still tunnels through eth0, but as far everthing else is concerned my server has two independent network ports eth0 and ppp0 and applications use the default route via eth0 to our router unless explicitely directed down pppX. I assume that you already have transmission-daemon installed.
