Ubuntu Networking :: Simple SSH From Within And Outside
Mar 10, 2011I've read a lot about what SSH does, and how to do it on some networks, but none of them quite cover how to do it on just a network with a bunch of computers on it. I have no server or anything, just a router with some computer connected through ethernet or wireless. All of the Ubuntu computer have me as a user, and I want to be able to access any specific one. How do I do this? Also, if I'm not at home, how can I access any of my accounts from whichever computer I wish to access?

Dec 15, 2010in a shutdown script that launches when I click an application launcher in one of my panels. I need this because I use scheduled shutdowns and I want to be able to cancel them quickly and easily if need be.It would be nice to somehow change this so I didn't need to enter my password, but I know it uses sudo and this might be too complicated or impossible.I don't really know that much about making scripts. What extension do you save them as, do you have to mark them as executable, etc. I basically started out with the bin bash or whatever deal at the beginning and then just put in that command.

Ubuntu :: Recommendation For Simple Email Client?
Dec 13, 2010I am looking for an email client with the following specifications. I have trialled most of the commonly recommended clients but have found ongoing irritations that push me to keep looking.
Specifications
1. specific email client, not PIM
2. can run as a portable application or configuration files and mail can be stored remotely
3. minimal or no dependences
4. can scan for viruses
[code]...
Evolution matches 5, 6 and 9. The program is a good general client but slow and glitchy. Can't scan for viruses in emails. Kmail matches 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Does most of what I need with the powertools plugin but does not play well with Gnome. The program comes with too many dependencies that makes it very hard to move data around or even use on various machines. The dependence on the akonadi server is quite frustrating and makes this kde application a great product but only really useful on kde. Thunderbird matches 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9. Again reasonably comprehensive but lacks the basic ability to scan incoming emails (filters can pipe incoming data to an external program). The fact that the mail is intrinsically linked with your Mozilla profile makes working with the email file very difficult.
Clawsmail matches 1, 2 (old version), 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 (Windows Port old and not maintained) and 9. Looks good but appears to lack portability and a current windows version. I want to check my mail (predominantly POP accounts), have spam and viruses set aside/deleted/quarantined, have my attachments saved to a directory so my mailbox does not get too big and for the emails and configuration data be stored in a distinct directory that can be readily synchronized between computers. The program should be able to run on Ubuntu and Windows XP/Vista/7, on the same data once the data directories are synchronized. And no, I don't want an Internet based option like gmail or yahoo.
Ubuntu :: Is There Simple Phone Dialer For Gnome
Dec 21, 2010I am trying to get my father to quit using Windows. His only demand is that he be able to have a nice contact manager. Evolution looks like just what he needs, but it seems to be missing one key feature: a phone dialer (don't confuse this with a dial-up Internet dialer or a VOIP applicaiton; those are not what I am looking for). What I want to know is:
1.) Is there a simple phone dialer for Gnome (like Kall for KDE)?
2.) Can it be used with Evolution (or is there an Evolution plugin to do this)?
3.) If there is not way to do this with Evolution, is there another Gnome contacts manager/calendar/task scheduler that has this capability?
I guess if I can't find one, I'll have to go to Kubuntu since it appears to be able to do this with Kontact, but I really prefer Gnome so I would rather not have to do that.
Ubuntu Networking :: Just Want A Simple Home Network
Jan 6, 2011As a user who is comfortable setting up a peer to peer network in Windows, how do I set up a simple peer to peer network with shares, on a standard network infrastructure (ethernet and basic dlink router), using Linux? I have two computers with Ubuntu 10.04, and would like to share files between them.Do I need to set static IP's? Why is only Windows network showing in Places/Networks?
Question two: I have 3 Windows computers (2 = XP, 1 = Win7) on my network, all with shares. When I try to access the windows shares from an Ubuntu machine, I can connect to some shares on some computers without being asked for credentials, however on other shares I am asked for credentials, but the credentials aren't accepted.I am assuming that domain = workgroup, so I enter in the workgroup name, but the dialogue refuses to let me in.
Ubuntu :: Simple Back Up Tar Crash In Maverick?
Jan 25, 2011I have been all morning trying different backup programs: dejavu, backintime and now simple backup. I really liked this last one because it not only backs up the home directory but also critical parts of the file system (var, usb, etc). However I have been unable to make it work. As my configuration, my back-up is about 36Gb+ and should go to a external fat32 drive (a WD passport 300GB btw). Since the drive is fat32 -with a file size limit of 4Gb- my backup can't be made in a single compressed file.
So I configured sbackup to not compress and chunk the backup in 4Gb bits (fat32 setting). However every time I run the backup I got: An error occurred Unable to finish successfully. TAR terminated with errors.
I read in launchpad that this was due to sbackup requiring a new version of tar, so I downloaded natty's deb file and installed it. But it keeps generating the same error. Does anybody have been able to run sbackup in maverick with settings similar to me. If so how?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Simple UDP Port Forwarding?
Jan 30, 2011I'm trying to set up very simple UDP port forwarding, but can't seem to have good results. I read trough netcat and iptables manuals, but can't seem to figure things out. my setup is the following:
I have machine1, listening on UDP port 49000. I have machine_fw, which accepts connections on 59000, and forwards all this to machine1:49000 (and returning traffic too) I have machine2, which will connect to machine_fw:59000, and this way communicate at the end with machine1:49000, as machine_fw is taking care of forwarding is there an easy way to achieve this?
Ubuntu :: Can't Find The Bug In Simple Xrandr Script
Mar 27, 2011I have Ubuntu installed on a live USB (as-well as dual-booted on my main computer with win7) and this live USB doesn't recognize the right resolution of a particular computers' monitor so I have made a script which (theoretically) all I need to do is double click it to fix the screen for this one monitor's config.Now the issue is that I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work. when I run it (it has xrandr commands in it) it tells me the usage for it.
Code:
#! /bin/bash
cvt 1280 1024 60 | tail -c -82 > temp.txt
xrandr --newmode < temp.txt
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00"
