View 6 RepliesI am playing around with the idea of being able to use a cloud or instance based service to install Ubuntu 9.10 Server. This will enable me to have remote access via SSH command line.So far, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server + Ubuntu Desktop to a virtual machine. I can access this via SSH and locally via the desktop. However, in the real environment the only access I am going to have initially is via SSH.
I would like to be able to connect using Windows Remote Desktop or VNC (whichever is easier and most importantly - most secure) to the machine.. even though the desktop is on there, I need to somehow configure the remote access all from the command line.I've had a read of various forums and have been trawling support forums for days but can't find a working solution for 9.10 Server or that fits my situation above where I will not have any physical access to the desktop or machine to configure remote desktop. It all has to be done via SSH/command line.
I dont know what to do, since noone responded me, I think I need to do this. My problems are in my previous post, all I am asking for a little advice on how can I remove all that is in my PC throught the command line(I can't get further)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a total of 4 hdd's, 500gb 7.2rpm that I would like mirrored using raid 10. As you can see from the image, ubuntu 9.10 server isn't recognizing the full 2tb's. In fact, I'm not even sure about the configuration as I was thinking the HDD's would come up as four 500gb hdds. Instead I have the configuration above set and ready for Ubuntu to be installed on.
1. Is this typical of a server pre-configured from Dell(perc6 raid controller.
2.Why is ubuntu not recognizing the full capacity of the drives especially when it's a server install?

Question: Upon completion, when trying to send a test email to myself via gmail (from CLI) I get the following error: "msmtp: no recipients found". In CLI below it asks me to explicitly pick a mailx to download. I think I already have mailx as when I type mailx I get "no mail for primary".

I'm from a Solaris (printer.conf) background and having trouble setting up a printer on the network. My CentOS box does not have a GUI interface available. I have been playing with lpadmin trying to add a printer - which it did, but everything is disabled, and the "enable" command is not found on my machine.
How do I make a simple printer on my network talk to my centOS box?
Here's the printer.conf from a Solaris machine that works:
raphael:

And the printers.conf from the CentOS box:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI wanted to install Debian 8.0 on my second hdd in my UEFI machine, but when I choose UEFI boot from USB, GRUB command line appears, and I cannot boot up the setup. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB stick, using the amd64 kde CD image. I tried several images and I deleted the Linux and Efi partitions from previous installation of Ubuntu . Also I deleted GRUB from the Windows 7 Efi partition.
In the UEFI setup fast boot and secure boot are disabled, and I don't seem to have the option to boot in legacy mode, if I choose the simple USB boot option (without "UEFI" in front) I get "please insert correct boot media, and press any key or reboot". I couldn't manually boot from GRUB command line, because it is showing that all the drives are empty, and if I type "boot" I get "please load the kernel first".
The problem relates only to the configuration of services in text mode ("setup", part of the setuptool package). The setuptool package is "setuptool-1.19.4-2.fc9.x86_64". There is no "Services configuration" menu when I start "setup". The tools listed in the setup window are:
- Authentication configuration
- Firewall configuration
- Keyboard configuration
[code].....
IMHO, the reason I don't have a services configuration tool is the missing services configuration files "98services" and/or 99"services" (or something like that) from the setuptool's configuration directory. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) Can someone please let me know what information should be in those two files, and what are the correct file names? Without them I cannot change the services on this computer. (FYI, the GUI (system-config-services) works, however, I need to run this computer in text mode.)
I'm looking for a way to automatically convert XLS and XLSX files to PDF when uploaded through a Web interface by users. I will probably use phplivedocx for DOC and DOCX files, but I haven't found any library for Excel files.I may use PHP to call a some printing command to make the conversion, but I've never tried that on a server (which obviously) doesn't have Open Office installed (meaning no PDF printer driver I guess)
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a strange problem. I have Ubuntu server installed on a proper server hardware. My RAID card reports all four HDDs to ubuntu as single drives, which is how i set it up because Ubuntu does not recognize the raid card on the server. Now you might say if thats the case, why dont i remove the raid card and have the BIOS report to ubuntu as four single drives then i can perhaps setup software raid. Well my board has only one sata port.Ubuntu is all setup. on the first drive and i have set the other three up using software RAID.
System works great only problem is it freezes sometimes. Not everytime, just on the odd occassion I use the same Hardware without the raid card and of course just one HDD and it great. No freezes.That leads me to believe its the RAID card.My question is why will it run great for days and sometimes just freeze on me? Probably silly but if theres an issue with the RAID card, it should not work at all, should it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSome time ago I installed LAMP in my server, but now I need to execute .php files from the command-line (in order to execute some manteinance scripts for mediawiki). Seems that the PHP files running in the server are run thru some kind of "module" in apache2. Can I tell apache2 to run a .php file in command-line mode using that php module? Or should I install a fresh copy of php-5? Won't that interfere with apache or mangle the system?

I have a php file that I need to execute via a cronjob. This file should be run by the www-data user as its a file in my /var/www/project folder. When I run this file under root (php -f cron.php) everything works perfectly, but I want it to run under the www-data to be safe. Before I run it vai crontab I tried it via command line as the www-data user and I receive errors:
Fatal Error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes expired (tried to allocate 232 bytes).
But when I run it as the root user I get no errors and everything works correctly. The file cron.php is used to process automated tasks in my CRM. So I don't really want to have the root user running a crontab every few minutes for this.
Must the www-data user be given more permissions? I am using Ubuntu 6.06LTS

I'm installing a 10.04 server remotely - it's basically an RSYNC host for backups. I've got one minor issue - it's really more of an annoyance, but I would like to have it solved.When sending e-mails, the messages come in addressed to three destinations - when it's only supposed to be sent to one. What's worse is that the two additional addresses are based on the hostname of the machine.Let me explain: I use this command:Code:mail -s Testing email@somedomain.comI then compose the e-mail and send it. The mail arrive a few seconds later but addresed to the following:Code:from@hostname.domain.com;email@somedomain.com;hostname@hostname.domain.comThe "from@hostname.domain.com" has the actual word "from" in the address. I've installed many, many servers like this in the past and this is the first time that anything wonky with email has happened that I couldn't fix or explain. The machine is running postfix and I installed the bsd-mailx package to get the command line "mail" command (I used to install "mailx", but this seems to work just like the old package).
