Ubuntu :: Setting Up The 10.04 / 10.10?

Oct 11, 2010

I have some troubles configuring it.

I.) Setting up the network: I have 3 pcs:

1x Ubuntu 10.04 (Desktop)
1x Ubuntu 10.10 (Desktop)
1x Windows 7 (Professional [activated])

I tried setting up samba (install all the required packages and stuff) but it does not work for the Ubuntu 10.10 PC! I can enter the IP of my 10.04 desktop pc and those files are shared, however, with the exact same settings (and other IP) the 10.10 pc does not seem to be able to use any samba shared stuff at all! (Not even the samba stuff it shared). However, on the 10.04 I can access the shared 10.10 stuff so samba should be running and be configured correctly. I know uninstalled everything (Samba) and replaced the smb.conf with an old backup. Is there any guide how I can set up an samba share that also appears in the network? I will sooner or later update the 3rd PC to ubuntu too, however, I'd like to have Windows compactiblity in my network.

II.) Working with PlayOnLinux (POL): I have installed Warcraft 3 + TFT successfully, however, I don't know how I can install any game that is not on the POL list into the POL framework.

III.) Programs that I am missing: I have found a lot of software already that I use every day, however, here is some stuff I am missing that I haven't found a good replacement until yet: (Would be great if you tell me programs that could replace them) Mikogo (Teamviewer is totally laggy) [An presentation remote-control GUI-based program]

IV.) Troubles using Empathy/Pidgin: I am using the latest pidgin and latest empathy version and enabled the empathy plugin for pidgin. However, from time to time Pidgin tells me that I need to reactivate accounts and I will get disconnected. Is there any way to solve this? (And why does this happen?)

V.) Partition "magic" - Suggestions or feedback: I have these partitions:

1.) Primary Ubuntu, 20GB, ext2 (System)
2.) Extended, 400GB
3.) (Extends 2.) Data, 50GB (Backups & co), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
4.) (Extends 2.) Files, 300GB (Media...), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
5.) (Extends 2.) Docs, 50GB (.doc, .xcl,..), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
6.) Primary Windows, 100GB
7.) Swap

In linux I mount them as /data, /files/, /docs, /windows and /.VI.) Backup the whole system (Solved): Connected to V, I would like to know how to backup the whole primary ubuntu drive with being able to restore it.

VII.) Login issues:Whenever I log into my ubuntu, it says "Waiting for a program to react" (Power Manager). It says logout or wait as actions.

Ubuntu :: How Do I Go About Setting Network Up

Jan 19, 2010

I have searched around about this but have had no luck - I have two laptops both running Mint 8, and I would like to use Giver to send files from one to the other. When I bring up Giver on each laptop, it only sees itself, not the other computer. Both computers are connected to the same router for internet access. How do I go about setting the network up? I don't need any advanced network stuff - I simply would like to use Giver.

Ubuntu :: U 10.04 - Where Is Clipboard Setting ?

Oct 1, 2010

I'm NOT asking about clipboard managers like Glipper, Parcellite, GNOME itself should let configure clipboard behaviour: package "gnome-settings-daemon" includes "Clipboard management" - this is installed and running by default.[URL].. But - where I can make settings of clipboard ?

I have thing, in "gnome-control-center" - there are many applets, corresponding to gnome-settings-daemon plugins. But I can't find no clipboard setting. Where is it ? I remember, in past (maybe it was in KDE desktop (?)) I could set, if my X selections should be added to "ctrl-c" list and vice versa or not. This is what I need.

But once again - I do not ask about installing Clipboard managers. I'm asking - where is standard GNOME clipboard setting in Lucid.

Ubuntu :: Setting Up FTP With Permissions?

Dec 29, 2010

I recently got an old computer to use as a server and I have a whole list of things I want to do on it, but I'm having difficulties.When I installed the server, I installed AMP, FTP, Samba, CUPS, and some other items. I made a user account called 'nessdan' which (currently!) is in these groups:

www-data adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin

The www-data group was added because I wanted to FTP my site files into '/var/www/' . Okay, that ended up working out for me. This is where things got sticky. I installed PHPMyAdmin and the files went to '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/' . I wanted to install a new theme so I downloaded it onto my Laptop, then logged in via FTP but couldn't transfer files into there! It turns out the folder was owned by 'root' and was in the group 'root'. The only thing I could come up with was to change that folders permissions so the owner was 'nessdan' and the group 'admin'. I was going to do that to the entire /usr/share/ folder but I didn't know whether or not I should be changing the permissions in the first place.

But the the trend continues! I have my print server setup and working but I wanted the server to hold the Windows drivers, so I went to '/var/lib/samba/' to do some work but noticed that a lot of the files' permissions were locked down to read only and the owner and group were 'root' . I ended up doing a 'chmod 775' and changing the owner and group to 'nessdan' and 'admin', respectively. Well I transfered over the files but now the service nmbd isn't working. The good news is, I expected to mess something up along the way and had already planned on reinstalling Ubuntu Server 10.10. I've only had the server for 4 days now and I knew from the beginning I'd be wiping it clean. I want to know how to set this thing up proper and the biggest problem is getting access into folders so I can FTP into them.When I do wipe my PC clean and start anew, how should I go about the changes that I did before (PHPMyAdmin, Samba Driver Folder)?

Ubuntu :: Setting Up NFS Client On Network?

Jan 29, 2010

I bought a QNAP 219P NAS as it was Linux "Compatible" what it lacks is the instructions on how to install under Linux. I've set up the NAS on the network, have given it a server name, and can connect to it through my web browser, everything appears to be OK with it. What I can't do, as I'm new to Linux, is get the PC to mount the drive. I have installed nfs-common and portmapper through synaptic package manager and I run Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. What is the setup so the NAS can be used by multiple clients (PCs) and is always there on logon.

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).

Ubuntu Servers :: Setting Up Lpr For Printing Under 8.04

Feb 23, 2010

I managed to install a networked printer to my box by

apt-get install system-config-printer-common system-config-printer-gnome

And using the system-config-printer, I can send print test page and it works.

Now, I noticed that I don't have lpr installed on this box.

So even if I install lpr or lprng I cannot seem to make it work.

Ohh and by the way, the only thing I use to print from that box is Acrobat Reader 9.. it is proprelly installed. I can see the networked printer entry from the program.. but for some reason Acrobat Reader 9 needs to use lpr to send the print job.

I wish to know what I am missing here.

I can do lpstat -v and I see my printer entry from there.

Now: the question: how can I setup lpr to work with my networked printer?

Should I install lpr or lprng?

What is the proper way to install a networked printer under Ubuntu-server?

Ubuntu Installation :: Setting Up A New HP Laptop?

Mar 3, 2010

Today I bought a new laptop, an HP pavilion dv4 (3GB ram, ATI 384mb video card, processor AMD Athlon II Dual Core, 320Gb hard drive).

The first problem I have is regarding the OS, its windows 7 home premium(32 bits), I need at least proffesional(I will install 64bit version) in order to use this laptop at work (need to join a domain) and wont let me upgrade cause the copy of W7 pro I have is in english and the pc OS its in spanish, add to that changin from 32 to 64bit, so I will format the drive. So here are my questions:

-My old laptop (Acer Aspire 5810TZ) has an ubuntu partition I would like to migrate to this new PC, how can I do that? is there like a transfer application or something like that on linux?

-On the new laptop: Should I create a primary partition and install ubuntu there? or install windows first and then ubuntu in a logical one?

-What will happen with the recovery partition on the machine? of course I wont format that part but will it still work? can this recovery software factory provided by Hp restore linux partitions?

And most importantly:

-How does ubuntu work with pavilion laptops? any issues I should know(ie. no launch buttons, weird keyboard, no suspend, etc etc)?

I am having some trouble setting up my wireless connection. I have a desktop version of ubuntu, and am trying to connect wirelessly to my modem, but it dosent even seem to be recognizing my wireless usb card. How do I get it to do that?

What the heck am I supposed to put in for those things?
