Ubuntu Networking :: Websites Taking Ages To Load / Sort It?

May 19, 2011

Basically i just downloaded and installed Ubuntu 11.04 and i love it, however all websites wont load except for ubuntuforums.org and google.com which both seem to load instantly. Any ideas?

BTW i am connected to the internet obviously and i am also writing this on ubuntu. I don't understand why this is happening because all websites seem to load on windows and the package installer seems to work fine.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Printing Files Takes Ages

May 23, 2010

When printing web pages or PDF files in Ubuntu 10.04 to a network printer using CUPS, files are blown out to huge sizes - over 200Mb for a 30Mb PDF document and over 70Mb for a simple web page with 6 images and some text. Its holding up everyone else in our office who, through Windows XP are printing the same files in about a 20th of the time it takes Ubuntu+CUPS. I have tried printing directly to the printer, printing through the Win2003 PDC share, printing with LPR (which coincidentally generates a bit smaller ps file) and printing with Adobe Reader instead of evince

Ubuntu :: Limit Log File Sizes - Log Files Are Taking Up Entire Harddrive

Mar 15, 2010

I just recently reinstalled (clean) Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala last week. In that time, over 40GB of log files were created until the FileSystem was full. I then received a low disk space message and ran disk usage analyzer to find out that almost all of the 44GB I had free were taken up by the /var/log directory. I then preceded to delete the 5 largest files which freed up over 40 GB of space.

Basically I believe that I have two problems:

1.) The log files are logging too much information (40 GB in one week).

2.) I need a way to automatically limit the size of the log files. I have tried searching online for this solution and briefly came across logrotate but I don't believe that this will completely solve my problem as it only compresses and backs up older logs. I need something that will remove old log entries altogether. If logrotate is capable of this can someone please walk me through the process? I do not remember all five log files that were in question but they did include: messages, syslog, and daemon.log. I believe kern.log may have been involved too.

Ubuntu Servers :: Deleted Log Files Taking Up Huge Disk Space?

Sep 7, 2010

My /var/ partition continues to fill up on all my servers, and it is because the logs in /var/log/apache2 or /var/log/mysql are being deleted during log rotate, but their file handles are being held open. Thus, a "du -sh /var/log" shows the correct values, but "df | grep /var" shows something much different.

It seems that the log files rotate, however if I run "lsof | grep deleted" it returns lots of files that are no longer visible in the directory, however refuse to clear themselves off the disk.

The only way I have found to make these log files go away (and thus clear up the disk space on the partition I should have) is to restart either apache or mysql, depending on which process has huge sized log files being held open.

Is it just me, or is this a big flaw in the way linux works, that it can't figure out how to release file handle for a log so the disk space can be reclaimed? This is happening to me a lot lately.

Here is some output from one of my web servers so you can see what I am seeing...

root@web49:~# df -h | grep /var$
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 9.2G 6.1G 2.7G 70% /var
root@web49:~# du -sh /var

Ubuntu :: Deleted Photorec Backup Files Taking Up Disk Space?

Mar 13, 2011

I used photorec to recover lost files and it brought up 70gb worth of files, when I was done looking through them I deleted these files. but these files still seem to be taking up my disk space. When I try to access my trash bin with root I get a message that reads...."The folder contents could not be displayed. sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": operation not supported." if I open my trash bin when I'm not in root, the bin is empty.

How do I free up my disk space?

General :: Which Files Are Taking Space To Make The Partition 68% Used

Jun 8, 2011

I have some confusion about one of my partition and the space it is taking. df -h output is given below;

# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ddf1_ADVDTARTINGp1
494G 18G 452G 4% /

[code]....

above information is showing that /var/lib/mysql partition total size is 379 GB and it is 68% used. However when I execute command du -sh /var/lib/mysql it shows following output.

# du -sh /var/lib/mysql
45G /var/lib/mysql

Now I want to know what files are taking space to make the partition 68% used. I want to list down all files in that partition with size.

Ubuntu :: Can't Save Any Files ?

Feb 9, 2010

I am very new to linux but not to computers. The transition from Windows to Ubuntu was seamless, it is very easy to use and I really like linux so far, until it came time to save a file. I find it very hard to believe that every time you create a document of file that you need to be logged in as root to save it or at least that's what everyone is telling me.

Ubuntu :: Can't Save Php Files To /var/www

Jun 20, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine and trying to do some work with php. I'm using Bluefish editor to create a very simple file that will show the date on a web page. The problem is that I try to save the file and get the following error:

Error opening file '/var/www/today.php': Permission denied.

Obviously it's a permissions issue. So I followed the instructions found in this post:

but alas, I keep getting the error.

Ubuntu :: Can't Save Html Files

Feb 3, 2010

I'm trying to set up some basic websites on an Apache 2 server running on my Linux box. At the moment, I have some really basic html files that I want to load into the /var/www directory. However, for whatever reason, I cannot save my html files. First, I thought it was because I didn't have permission on my account, so I switched to localadmin (i don't know if all Linux distros come with a localadmin account, but i know localadmin has "higher" permissions than, but less that root, of course). Even as localadmin, I could not save my html files!

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Save MP3 Files

May 17, 2010

How does one save files in MP3 (or MP4) format.This would apply to converting an existing audio file to MP3 or to ripping a CD.This question must be as old as Ubuntu, yet I find very little in our forums. What I do find, refers me to items that don't seem to be in the repositories anymore, so perhaps someone in the know can update us again.Yes it is lossy and proprietary, but it's fine for speech and produces a much more compact file than flac. Also, flac and ogg are not well known to non Linux users, programs and equipment. So, for compatibility, I often want to convert flac to MP3.

Ubuntu :: Gimp Can't Save Png Files?

Dec 1, 2010

like to update it on occasion. Recently I attempted to edit an image locally. I use vbulletin, which relies on png for it's forum icons. When I tried to change the default image for a new one I created using GIMP, I saved it as a *.png file. Yet, when I looked at the saved file - it was actually a *.xcf file (which I've never even heard of before).What gives?ensure it is saved with a png extension when I select png extension, instead of the xcf extension it seems intent on saving as?The image was originally a jpg, if that makes any difference. I can't see as it does though. When I was on Windoze, I used Paint Shop Pro - and if I told it to save a file with a png extension, it amazingly saved it with a png extension

Ubuntu :: Save Files And Create Folders In Var/www?

Apr 28, 2010

creating a new website project in the var/www folder. I open jedit and try to save a folder or file inside var/www using jedt and it refuses to let me create or save anythink in the var/www directory.

I have used the terminal to create a new folder and file inside the var/www directory and when i open the file with jedit or gedit and write some code into it it wont save the code either. I am used to just creating a new directory and saving files into it with ease using windows so this is puzzling me a little. I also installed lamp server through the terminal and the phpmyadmin folder installed somewhere different from the var/www file.

Ubuntu :: Rename And Save Multiple Files?

Feb 22, 2011

I am quite new to script programming and I am facing an uphill task to rename files in one folder. I have gone through similar posts but most of them deal with renaming files by changing the file extensions.Problem : I have a folder which contains files like bild01.jpg,bild02.jpg. There are more files in the folders which should remain untouched. I want to rename these 'bild' files as follows:

bild01.jpg -----> 1c.jpg
bild02.jpg -----> 2c.jpg
bild30.jpg------>30c.jpg
I would like to create a script as:
#!/bin/bash
npics=`ls -1 bild*| wc -l`

Jun 28, 2011

I am hoping to install Ubuntu 11.04 onto my USB. (1 gb... all I want it for is to do virus scans and stuff for my windows computers....) The thing is, I did the Startup disk thing. But every time I boot off the usb it says "Try or install". I click try. I make a file on the desktop. Then I reboot and its gone! Why is this happening, and how do I get the files to save?

What standard do you adhere to when saving and you're the only user of the server(root)? Take downloaded files for instance:In my experience I often find people putting downloaded files in /opt, /usr/src/, /usr/local/ etc.I would like to know if ther is a standard like would have in Windows. Everyone knows where the Download directory is in windows

General :: Save All Files Onto USB's

May 10, 2011

I've been having some PC troubles since yesterday after downloading VistaOSx onto my computer. (I don't know why I downloaded it, I was bored.) Well now I have a virus on my computer that wont let windows start. Every time I go to turn on my computer, I get a black screen with just my mouse pointer.

So, I went looking for the disk that the guys at FRY'S gave me after they worked on my computer, and it was an MSI disk, and I booted from it, and now I'm in some OS called Winki 3 which is linux based and I don't know what I'm doing, to my surprise, I'm online.

I need to be able to get my computer working again, and I don't want to loose any of my files if I have to reinstall windows. I have a few questions before I start getting into this and try to get my computer to work but only mess it up worse.

1) What in the world is Winki 3? I've never heard of it.

2) How can I execute a .exe file? I'm trying to see if I can run my virus scan to get rid of whatever it is that is screwing with my computer.

3) I can see all my program files and everything, so I need to save some stuff on my USB's in case I do need to reinstall windows so that way I don't loose anything. How do I do that?

4) I know this isn't a place to ask windows questions, but I must. I don't have a restore disk, or a reboot disk or whatever, just this MSI disk that brought me to this Winki 3. How can I restore my computer without the restore disk, and without taking it to some place that's going to charge me an arm and a leg? There has to be some way, I mean I have this Winki 3 running, I should be able to do something that will restore the computer back to the default factory settings after I save all my files onto my USB's, right?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Save .hqx Files After Firefox Upgrade?

Jan 9, 2010

I can't save files with the .hqx extension for some reason. Firefox was recently upgraded to 3.5.7 via Update Manager. Nothing happens when I click on a link pointing to a .hqx file no download status window. I can see that something is trying to download but it is not saved to disk. (Yes, I checked /dev/null first).My first stop was to edit > preferences > applications to see if the extension definitions got borked during the upgrade. Everything seemed normal except for the fact that I couldn't see an entry for .hqx files and no apparent method for manually adding it to the list. I went to another site that I administer and successfully download a .pdf file

Ubuntu :: Repairing / Reformatting USB Drive - Can't Save Files

Jun 3, 2011

I'm having difficulty repairing/reformatting a USB drive. I've yet to explore and get me on the right track. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I have a generic USB drive, 4GB, currently formatted FAT. I can't save files to it, can't format it using Ubuntu's Disk Utility. Attempts to format using Disk Utility return the following error:

Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error Yesterday I got fed up and tried to just zero the thing out using a dd command... ran it in verbose, the right stuff returned to screen, still no dice. I can't get it to a point where I can format it either using Disk Utility or mkfs.
