Ubuntu :: Setting A Folder As Repository?
Feb 1, 2010
I have recently reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 in my Compaq Notebook. I have a problem. In my Desktop, I have more than 4 GB of packages installed. As we all know, I do not need to download them again in my Laptop, and can simply add them with "sudo dpkg -i * *.deb" command. But, I do not want to install them all, and want to pick up only a few. So, is there a way, that I can set the Folder (after copying it to the Laptop) as my Repository, I mean, wheneven I seek to install a Package using Add/Remove or Synaptic or apt-get system, they are installed from the Folder instead of from the Internet? (I have all dependencies installed for each application).

I've worked with svn as a version control system. I like how it's possible to get context-sensitive svn commands within Eclipse via Subclipse or some other plugin. I know how to set it up both client-side and on an apache server.
Questions:
1) Does it require a centralized server and/or apache mod to host a master repository? I understand that git is distributed/decentralized but am a bit confused about what this means in practice. I did find this article describing how to host a git repository via http. Ideally, our central/master repository would be accessible via some kind of GUI git client as well as the command line.
2) Can anyone recommend a good PHP IDE / git client combination? I'm partial to Eclipse myself because it's free, i know it, and it has an eGit plug in which, although still in early development, appears to function mostly as expected.
3) Any additional comments/anecdotes/thoughts about how I might host a git repository and make it accessible only to my team of devs.

I am setting up a local YUM repository in which I will have one computer accessing the RHN network and the clients will pull the updates from that server.
I have seven linux computers that I need to have access this repo server via apache.
I called Red Hat support and this what they told me to do....
On the YUM Repo Server -
> go to /etc/httpd/conf
> copy original to something else (you name, just save the original)
>edit the httpd.conf file
> add in ServerAdmin root@10.24.79.195
[Code].....
how to configure apache -- when I was on the phone with Red Hat we went so fast that I couldn't write down everything.

I've setup both a http server and svn server and have a SVN project residing in the "/srv/svn/kdrepos/THOR/" directory. I would like this project to automatically do a checkout into the /srv/www/htdocs/ on update/commit. Is this in any way possiblely? Some sites (xp-dev) for example offer an option to have a repository automatically 'added' to a webserver. Does anyone know how is done? I'd xp-dev if it wasn't for the fact that I also need full access rights on the machine

I'm dual booting on a laptop with an 80gb hd. I've set up the partitions so windows xp has 20gig, ubuntu (edit: 11.4?) has 7 gigs, 3 gigs swap space, and the rest is formatted as FAT32 that I'm looking to use as shared space between the two OSes. The ubuntu live install partition tool suggested (possibly demanded?) that the fat32 be mounted as /windows or /dos, and I chose the former. Everything's running fine, both OSes see the partition, but I can't set my home folder to exist in this shared space.
I've been in system > admin > users and groups- I try setting the home folder as /windows/home/chris. (I had a home folder backed up that I have already copied to this location) The dialog recognizes that there's a folder there already, asks if I want to use those new files or copy old ones. I say use new files, and close the window. Nothing changes though- in fact if I open users and groups immediately after, it's already reverted to /home/chris . I've tried changing from a different user account as well.

I've created a folder in /home called share. I am the owner. It has no group access. Others have full access. Is this setup safe? My current setup:
Code:
/home$ ls
eve share lost+found roy
I want eve and any future users to have full access to the folder 'share'. I am user 'Roy'.

Is there a way to set the permissions on files and folders from a Windows server or workstation? The partition is NTFS and is mounted as NTFS, but whenever I right click on a file or folder on the Ubuntu server from a Windows computer and try to change the permissions I get "Access Is Denied".

I'm running OpenSuse 10.3 and I've tried to set permissions on my folder and subfolders from root:root to wwwrun:www. In the shell it shows all folders and files with the correct permissions, but in the GUI it still says root:root and so my web application can't write to it, until I manually set the subfolders permission in the GUI.

Vanilla install of Karmic (64 bit) - would like to change the Apache doc root to point to /home/sam/www as it's my web development machine. (Default install is working fine)
Created copy of 'default' to 'mylocal' in '/etc/apache2/sites-available'
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/sam/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/sam/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
...
The permissions on the folder in my home dir:
Code:
sam@rocket:~$ ls -la ww*
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 sam sam 4096 2010-01-09 22:26 .
drwx------ 35 sam sam 12288 2010-01-09 22:11 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sam sam 100 2010-01-09 22:27 index.html
sam@rocket:~$ pwd
/home/sam
sam@rocket:~$
The sites enabled set up:
Code:
root@rocket:/etc/apache2# ls -la sites-enabled/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-09 22:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2009-12-20 00:22 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2010-01-09 22:24 mylocal -> ../sites-available/mylocal
But I still get:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server".

i have set up my Apache2 server and i have this question. Because my netbook (eeePC 701 4g surf) has a very small SSD Drive (4GB) is it possible to set the default directory of apache to be an external USB Drive? And if it is, how?

Is there a way to set the default when clicking on a folder to open in new window? The default action appears to open in the same window. I've gone though every Dolphin option I can find, and there does not appear to be any setting that affect this. Konqueror DOES have a setting, but it seems to be ignored. I am running Suse 11.3, KDE 4.4.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I want to move to 10.10. The upgrade path would be very long so I want to do a fresh install. I have twisted a little bit my Gnome appearance (theme, icons in menu bar, etc.). I would like to install it, keeping all of my files in my home folder but using fresh visual settings from Maverick. What should I do?

I am fairly new to Linux, dabbled with it over the years but am a experienced windows user so not a complete noob. I am setting up Ubuntu 10.04 as a file server following a tutorial in Linux User and Developer mag which is great but having a bit of a problem getting it to work correctly.I have two folders in the OPT directory and they can only be accessed by using the main username and password for the linux machine when logging on through my Win 7 machine, if I try and access the directory called 'alex' using the Alex username/password I can log into the folder but only have read only access.
I think (but am not sure) it has something to do with setting the ownership permissions of the folders ..
part of the step after creating the directory was
# sudo chown -R root:users /opt/alex
and that didn't seem to work, it wouldn't allow me access as either user so I did
# sudo chown -R root:grae /opt/alex
grae is the main user and so that user has access but the user called alex doesn't .Can anyone advise? I am sure you need more info so please let me know what would help you see what the problem is

Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code:
Error Type:
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
[Code]...
It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

yum is completely broken. I cannot install or update any software. yum is always throwing:
Code: Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-12&arch=x86_64 error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 7 - "" Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again I have tried globally to disable the gpg check as stated in other threads. I have no proxies or such in yum.conf or in my bashrc. If I manually click on the link it will resolve in firefox so I am sure it is not my net connection per se, it seems yum or curl is adding a : to the end of the url thats why it wont resolve properly.
I have done a yum clean all , which didnt really help either. reinstalling the rpmfusion repos isnt an option either as I start getting curl errors in the terminal. I am really at a loss here and am completely out of ideas as I cant install any updates or software , at first I thought the repositories were having problems with the holidays but this has been going on for 4 days now. /var/log/messages isnt showing anything either.
