Ubuntu :: Use Case For EC2 In Server 9.10?
Jan 22, 2010
I do have one question about the latest Ubuntu server edition 9.10. Currently I am using 8.04 on a server at home and have nothing but great things to say about it.
With that being said, what would be the use case for an average joe like me to harness the new capabilities in 9.10, more specifically in regards to the new EC2 features?
I am a web designer and video geek...I was wondering if this would take some of the workload off my Macs. For example video rendering, etc. Should I uprgrade and try this out?

Kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0
mkisofs 2.01
I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.
Quote:
-iso-level level
.........................
With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).
...........................
However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.
Code:
root@darkstar:~# mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0
Total directory bytes: 0
[code]....

I tried to add my wife , and when I put in a password for her, this error comes up."Please set a valid user name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers." I did all that and I still can't set a password for her.

When my internet is slow & i try to open a web page then I get message in my firefox 3.6.3 that 'can't find server at www.website.com'. It isn't that URL is wrong but maybe connection to DNS server is slow or something similiar. I remember that wget tries 20 times by default to get the file (browsing is downloading+ decoding+ displaying).Does any web browser or addon tries repeatedly till it is successful in contacting website server? It can tell me 'trying nth attempt at www.website.com'

The place I work has a web/dns server on opensuse 10 up and running hosting a few websites (our company one & a few vhost ones). The box was set up before I got here. Now we are wanting to create a new 11.2 server that is basically a backup / clone of 1st server in case it goes down.

I am trying to mount a samba share using an fstab entry
//srv1/Corporate /winfiles cifs user,uid=0,rw,noauto,suid,credentials=/root/wnmount_credentials.txt 0 0
The mount appears to complete cleanly, however when I browse the directory /winfiles it is always empty.The smbclient command works properly using the same credentials.The /root/credentials file looks something like this
username=********
password=********

how I can use the mv command to move a file that matches *.ext regardless of the case?
I would like to be able to move:
*.ext
*.EXT
*.ExT
....and so on with a single command. I do not want to have to type out all combinations of this single file extension in my script because my file system is case sensitive.

When I try to rename a file in a mounted NTFS file system by only changing the letter case, I receive an error message saying that it is not possible because the file already exists. This must be because ntfs is not case sensitive as regards determining a file name. However, it can use and remember whatever case you want to use. So I can change the letter case in the file's name in two steps: saving the file with a different name first and then renaming it again with the original name and the letter cases I want to use.

Recently I've been migrating my development environment to ubuntu (desktop edition, because this is not a server, is just my computer) and I've been having some problems with apache case-sensitive (I'm an absolute beginner with it). I want to make apache case-insensitive, but I didn't find a complete and easy to follow solution online more than doing this:
From the command line, type sudo su to get root privileges.
nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/speling.conf
Type CheckSpelling on and hit ctrl-x, y to exit and save the file.
type a2enmod and then speling and hit enter.
type /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to reload apache.
Mistype a url to test it.
I found that here: [URL]. It worked for some things but I'm still having a lot of problems with capitalization. I don't wanna go back to windows an ISS. BTW I'm using ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition 32-bits, and I've not moved any apache configuration more than that described above.

I've got Xubuntu 11.04, VLC 1.1.9. I'm working on some kind of streaming server and I would like to start VLC stream at startup in case of PC reboot (for instance after blackout).
I've made script to do that and append that script to init.d and use upadate-rc.d. VLC don't work correctly because of some network issue (host unreachable, cannot make raw udp socket) but network and all its parts work correctly (for sure!!).

Anybody know of a way to search only for similar case sensitive files? By which I mean doing a wildcard search across a drive & the only results are like: Abc.txt abc.txt VID_001.avi Vid_001.AVI .. etc.
I've already tried searching the forums & google but the closest I've found is regarding files with increasing numbers (music_001.mp3, music_002.mp3, etc), which doesn't quite fit with my issue, as they would be seen as different files on a case insensitive OS.

i'm using Ubuntu in my office. I have to report two issues with network connectivity.1. Wireless doesn't work if come back after suspend/hibernate the computer. The work around I follow is,a. Turnoff the wifi and restart the computer. (It won't shutdown. have to do force using the power button)b. Reinstall the network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb and network-manager-gnome_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.debc. Restart the computer (Again it won't shutdown. Need force.)d. Now wifi will detect the networks and shutdown works fine hereafter.2. Sometimes the wired gets disconnect frequently (thrice in 2minutes). Physical connectivity is good and working well in Windows.

How do I install an additional kernel in Linux Ubuntu 10.10, in case of a boot failure? Also how do I make the Grub Menu Visible, so that I am able to select multiple kernels. There is an older solution below, but is there a way to do this in Linux Ubuntu 10.10. I just suffered an update failure, possibly due to a corrupt kernel upgrade, which made my system unbootable. The cursor just flashed continuously.
Solution of 2007[URL].... "The next obvious rescue aid is to always have a working kernel installed. I usually work from a kernel updated via yum. Kernels have occasionally been released with flaws that have caused one or more of my machines to not boot. To this end, I always make sure I have at least one perfectly running kernel on a machine. A great way to handle this is to first add plugins=1 in your /etc/yum.conf file. The next step is to take this script (written by Jeremy Katz from Red Hat) and save it as n-installonly.py in /usr/lib/yum-plugins. You can change the number of kernels to retain on the system by changing the tookeep variable (default = 2).
With a known working kernel on your system, you can upgrade safely. If the new kernel is hosed, simply boot the old kernel to solve the issue with the new kernel be it to remove it, recompile it, or update it."

The sort utility in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) always sort by case-insensitive, just like if you specify --ignore-case to it. The two sort just give the same result:
[Code]....
But sometimes I want to sort by case-sensitive, so the upper-case letters come first, then lower-case letter.

I recently upgraded my HDD to 160 GB ..I actually wanted to exchange the old HDD (40GB) and adjust with the price of the new one..The comp service guy said that the internal HDD could be used as a USB disk if I purchase a CASE for this..I bought a case thro which I attached the old IDE HDD... The LED is on when I connect (The USB cable had 2 leads which I had to connect it in 2 USB slots- Direct in my cabinet (not thru Hub),,, Ubuntu 10.04 is recognizing the disk in "System Info" as "USB - Generic HDD"...But that's it, I am not able to run Gparted or anything...Even in win7 , it said "Installing software for devices" and later on nothing happens...This is not shown in File Manager I would like to know how to format and make it usable..
Also , since HDDs involve some amount of power , is it wise to connect it to another computer, I mean there wont be an overload or spike or something like that?? We have 220 Volt electricity in my country... Aso logically speaking there has to be a limit I mean, you cant keep "chain loading" multiple HDD through USB Hubs ,right!!

I have been researching the web for a program which will allow me to backup my entire hard drive so that I can restore my system if need be. I am however unsure which is the best one to use if I want to achieve this:Somehow I want to back up my hard drive containing my ubuntu system byte for byte so that if the hard drive were to fail I could simply go to the store, get a new hard drive, restore my backup and be up and running again without having to do any re installments of ubuntu or any other programs for that matter.
What is the easiest program that does this? I would like it to support incremental backup.rsync with the "Back in Time interface"?bacula?
