The system wide proxy configuration doesnt work in my workplace . The proxy requires an authentication and export http_proxy and ftp_proxy with the password doesnt work either . For apt I have to make the necessary changes in /etc/apt/apt.conf , for firefox the use system proxy setting doesnt work.I am facing a problem with setting up evolution also .
View 1 RepliesI want to set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY and http_proxy and FTP_PROXY environment variables "somewhere", so all programs that recognise these can find them. I need root to find them for slackpkg and sbopkg, I need users to find them for Dropbox, I need them for cronjobs and scripts and wget.So I want to set these environment variables up somewhere, preferably something in /etc and have them set and accessible for everyone and everything. I am not using KDE or XFCE or any desktop. I need a command line solution.
Where is the best place to put this? I see that some other distros have a /etc/environment and these variables go in there. In Slackware, should I add them as a new file in /etc/profile.d and have them added every time /etc/profile is accessed? Is there a Slackware approved method that I don't know about?
I am trying to set up my squid3 proxy as a transparent proxy - right now, I have to manually configure browsers to access via proxy. I understand that I have to put some rules into Iptables and also some further directives in the squid.conf.
I have a couple of specific questions. The proxy server is running on a Ubuntu 10.04 workstation and this machine also acts as a dhcp server for the network. I have just one subnet , namely 192.168.0.1-254 There is only 1 network card. Is it much easier to put in a second network card or is it just as easy to configure the existing lan card as a dual IP?
Is it necessary to configure these 2 IP's ( whether they are via 2 lan cards or dual IP on single card ) to be on different subnets. i.e ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.1.1 or is ok to have something like ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.0.254 ( where ETH0 is the one facing the LAN and ETH1 points to the modem router / switch i.e The Internet ) Where specifically do I save the Iptables rule configuration file and what must I call it ?
Can someone tell me of a sensible fairly standard place to put scripts that a number of users will need on an Ubuntu system?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to run a command that will let me run some programs. If I run the command in a terminal, then I can launch the programs from it fine, but not from anywhere except that terminal. This is the command that makes things work:Code:export GTK_RGBA_APPS=allbut:exe:checkgmail:swiftfox:firefoxThis command disables RGBA for the programs listed, which seem to have problems with it. I hoped I could use this command to somehow apply it system wide permanently. I've tried adding it /etc/rc.local and rebooting, but it doesn't work.Is there a way of doing this? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Is there a better way to disable RGBA for certain programs?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn an older computer of mine using an older CRT monitor, Ubuntu defaults to a monitor refresh rate that causes the screen to constantly flicker and flash, making it nearly unusable. Changing the rate to either 75 Hz or 60 Hz fixes the issue, but changing it through the Monitor settings only affects my user account; part of the loading screen, and the login screen, will continue to flicker and flash. Is there a setting I can adjust somewhere that will set the refresh rate for the entire system, not just my user account?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up firefox system-wide to handle ed2k links properly, I'm following amule wiki howto at this page http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling but it seems a little outdated, I tried to create /usr/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js and /usr/local/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js but I got no results. I also tried to edit /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.17/greprefs/all.js with no luck. So where should I put ed2k handling strings to apply them system-wide ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI do a bit of script writing, and part of this involves reading the text aloud and reacting to audio cues. What I'd love to do is set up a method of playing audio files at whim based on a general shortcut. So, say if I pressed <Super>C1, I could play ~/Music/cue1.mp3, <Super>C2 would be ~/Music/cue2.ogg etc.
Currently the closest I've got is using the terminal and a modified .bashrc to play via VLC's ncurses.
Code:
alias cue1="vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp3"
Obviously this isn't very near to what I want. Entering a Keyboard Shortcut using the usual methods (xbindkeys, gconf-editor, the KeyShort Preferences GUI) to run
Code:
vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp
doesn't play anything. Is it possible to launch these kinds of commands as shortcuts, or am I hoping for too much? My Google trawls have been pretty fruitless. I'm running Lucid, btw.
making changes to *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications works for all users, but gets overwritten when those packages are updated. You lose all customizations. Placing the customized ones in~/.local/share/applications works, but you have to do that for all users (pain!). So, what folder do they go in for system wide changes, but safe from updates?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an RHEL 5 server joined to a windows domain. However I wanted to add variable lines to be executed each time a user logs in. However I succeeded to put them in /etc/bashrc file and it worked like a charm.
But its annoying that everytime the user logs in to the shell remotely it displays the whole variables that were declared. Is there a way how to add them once and not to display the output each time the user logs in?
I have been searching around into /etc/xdg/ and ~/.config and also /skel/.config (for newly created users!) so I can ensure specific applications open filetypes by default.
I would prefer to be able to use a system wide configuration so that i may be able to run a script with each new slackware release that would change application/filetype defaults for all users including existing to our liking (unless they have already preset their own app/defaults in ~/.config).
What I'm trying to do seems pretty straight forward but I can't seem to find any documentation on this searching the "internets" but I think I'm getting mixed in with all the other proxy documentation.
What I'm trying to do is basically replicate the proxy settings from a desktop machine to a server machine. I have Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop running fine on a corporate network using the Automatic Proxy Configuration option and supplying the appropriate URL that I pulled for a corporate issued windows machine. I would like to do this on Ubuntu server 10.04 as well.
What I've got so far is coping out the proxy information from the .pac file and setting the http proxy value directly but I want to follow the URL so that the system follows any changes that come down the road. how to integrate a .pac (Proxy auto-config) url into ubuntu server?
The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab, or by issuing the following command:
Code: pacmd 'set-sink-port' 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo analog-output-mono;output-amplifier-on' The problem is both solutions apply only to a single account, while I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (there are more then 100 accounts - it's a set up for a school).I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.
I have my company's CA root.crt certificate and I would like to import into openSUSE 11.2 so every application could trust this authority. Is there any instruction for this procedure?
You know, something like you can do in Windows: just click certificate and there is a button "Install certificate"
Where is system certificate store in openSUSE?
How can I add a menu entry when I right click my mouse system wide?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just set up squid for the first time. I have zero experience with proxy servers. I used this guide:[URL](I also looked at a few other guides such as this one:ttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320733. However, I wanted to most barebones config to start with and the link I used was the simplest.)So now that I have it set up, I'm testing it with FoxyProxy. It is not working well. I went to speedtest.net. The download and ping tests were just as fast as without the proxy, but the upload test fails completely.Furthermore, many web pages load very slowly or not at all. So performance is very mixed, but mostly poor.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe're in the final process of building a home, and I had them setup a wiring box where all the coax and cat5 terminates into one closet, which will also house my server. Once we get moved in I'd also like to add speakers in each room to have house-wide music, and ideally I'd like the audio to also run into this box with the master input coming from the server as well.My thought was to setup the server with some basic desktop manager like Fluxbox and use that to drive audio throughout the house, whether it be Pandora, Sirius Radio, or whatever. Since the server will be headless I'll need it setup so we can remote into it from our laptops, but I wasn't sure if VNC or some other RDP variant would work. Ideally we'll need to access a unified desktop so traditional terminal services where each users gets their own desktop might not be ideal

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed DansGuardian. In order for it to work I set the system wide proxy. However it is really easy to get around DansGuardian by going to preference proxy setting. How do I password protect this setting so it requires a password to change proxy setting? Preferably a different password than the normal sudo password if possible. If not I at least want the sudo password protecting it! I run multiple browsers so doing it via the system rather than the browser made the most since.

Our environment uses an internet proxy that requires a username and password.Under Ubuntu 10.04, I can use the GUI to set the proxy host, port, username and password. When I do this, all the web browsers work, Snyaptic works, etc.However, under Kubuntu 10.04, the GUI lets me specify a proxy host and port, but doesn't appear to save the username and password. Because of this, I have to manually set the proxy information on my web browser, but the package managers don't work because they can't access the internet. Apparently the ability to specify proxy username and password is either broken or unfinished.
